Hey go watch the music video on your own time even. I would love your reaction but even just watching it by yourself is something you would really enjoy.

[@d-docnemesis7925]

You should really react to "Please" by Eleine. The song is super beautiful and it really hits where it hurts. Also the song does not get the attention it deserves. There's a great live version too, so I'd be curious what you think of it. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGe0gHZqjtKSqKc

[@akhsunkharkhazhmurat8626]

Thank you for your great videos! Could you please do reaction to this singer? She has unusual, pleasing voice, but I am interested in what you think as a professional. Musicola is a famous singer in Kazakhstan. And this specific song is popular on Kazakhstan. Please! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqK9Y2ismph2ipI

Amy Lee sounds like she is crying through her words. She is a beautiful human being 🌹

[@artfuldodger8]

Emotions , she has so much emotion , she can move mountains.

[@RowanQueen22]

You are so right, like the way the notes are sing its like a crying

[@jamesboydriver]

I think this song waa written about her younger sister who died.. citation needed.. but I'm 99%

[@ReeceyBoy_4]

Absolutely she is unbelievable

[@raymamacat]

Absolute truth.

[@zebrion5793]

Amy has a vocal quality you can only describe as "hauntingly beautiful." She is what I would imagine a ghost of a singer would sound like. The fact that she found a way to fuse that with rock of all genres is amazing. It doesn't feel forced at all, either.

[@Wraithlen]

Very succinct description of what Amy's vocals are about. I've never heard another singer like her.

[@nissan300zxmike]

Ether

[@muhdpablo1545]

Agreed

[@natev580]

Don't you mean hauntingly painful? She sounds like my Basset Hound on a cold winter evening. Her live vocals are about on par with a 3 year old singing "DO YOU WANNA BUILD A SNOWMAN!?"

[@landrion7]

So very accurate

[@Wrathlon]

She has one of those voices that triggers the exact intended emotions in a person. Some songs make me cry and feel them completely and this is one of them.

[@killer6ten]

@Wrathlon agreed on that her voice sounds amezing maytimes i close my eyes while listing it sound even better that way

That's a HUGE PROBLEM, because she's as classically-trained as they come. It's not just her voice, but it's her keyboards, piano, and guitar talent too. Taylor Swift really is that great, and a great alternative to this dreck.

[@JEspina456]

Just saw Evanescence last night with Halestorm. This song is still so powerful and emotional. She told the audience to sing along. She said something to the effect of “I think you should know the words, it’s only been 20 years.” 🥰

[@dawnewing6951]

Wow. It's been 20 years.....

[@RumpelStiltskindarkone]

After all these years I still can't hear this song without busting into tears.

The music video makes me do that but seems like live I can handle it better coz I'm listening to the tune more

[@rosegranger2872]

Me neither. I love this song so much, but the memories coming with it are just... Too much. Too painful.

[@ryansheehan9462]

Same.

[@Mgp-Rc]

I get that also. Anyone who has lost someone close to them and listens to this song without tears would be extremely rare.

[@mordirit8727]

After all these years, I finally _can_ hear these songs and tear up... And I wish I was still stupid and innocent enough to think this is all about romance like I did when I was a dumb teenager. What sounded like melodrama after sadly having lost some key people in my life now sounds and feels like knifes tearing me apart with how accurately it discusses grief. What a beautiful song that I can't stand listening too often...

Heaven is a halfpipe the song always reminds me of my brothers friend who was killed on his motorbike only 5minutes from home, it was released the day after he died and everyone knew it was a song made for him as he loved skate boarding, bmxing etc it’s amazing how much music touches you

[@lauraferris1608]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope that time has brought you a peaceful heart.

[@capp00]

Got to see Evanescence on tour with Halestorm, Hell Yeah and Chevelle. Fantastic show. When Amy was out rocking the stage and then the ambient lights turned on and she sat behind the piano, the entire vibe changed. An arena full of metal heads singing along to a slow piano melody. Very cool to be a part of.

[@realmofoz]

That vocal line with the band coming in gets me every time. The raw emotion that is conveyed through the band and her voice is breathtaking..literally for a few seconds. The band as powerful as that line is with all of it coming together still doesn't overpower her it is sync beautifully. This one of the best songs in that Era. She was underrated back then and still is, one of the best singers on the planet.

[@TheTrueVanguard]

Brother I feel the same way, but when I know I need a good cry this is one of the songs I'll turn to

[@Candy6v9]

The song that really makes me emotional is Hello, which Amy wrote about her experience with little sister's death. It's heartbreaking, but Amy never performed it live, which is understandable. Far From Heaven from 2021's The Bitter Truth is also heartbreaking; Any wrote it after her struggle with her little brother's death and her struggle with faith

She must be a music producers dream. I've heard her live and she sounds almost identical live as she does recorded.

[@tiamarie7443]

She was crazy good live!

[@potato_weeb]

She doesn't use autotune on her music, so that's why there's no big difference between studio and live

[@fishhuntadventure]

@@potato_weeb what? That’s way shallow of an interpretation. The hallmark of excellence in an artistic singer isn’t limited to pitch; autotune handles pitch, or is used by a producer to achieve “effects.” Neither of those are attractive. (Listen to a Maren Morris live cut for example: she /needs/ the studio- and autotune to maintain pitch and sound LOL) Saying that “she doesn’t use autotune” has anything to do with her sounding the same live as in the studio totally misses 95% or more of what provides for her being labeled a great vocalist. You’re posting on a vid from a vocal coach’s channel with absolutely no idea of the elements of singing- or the fortunate genetics that give Amy Lee an excellent natural voice to build or layer the elements over.

[@IAmNeomic]

@@fishhuntadventure Exactly. You can have absolutely perfect pitch, but the amount of power, tone, dynamic range, breath control, phrasing... These are all things people who don't understand music completely overlook when they just write things off with "auto-tune", which honestly isn't really used much anymore. Melodyne and manual adjustments are typically the way engineers will correct a take. But even if you hit a note somewhat flat or sharp, correcting it will not fix the tone, power, timbre, etc.

[@user-zn1xl9gq5n]

I think she sounds live still better than in the Studio. She has a Voice that I never heard before. She is Amazing

[@Cinteck]

I was on the Newport, Kentucky side of the Ohio River one time and Evanescence was playing on the Cincinnati side at a festival, you could hear her all the way across the river in perfect tone it was awesome.

This song was mostly written by ex-cofounder Ben Moody, and Amy (singer) wrote the bridge. The song was mostly his and about his grandfather. Some people speculate it’s about Amy’s sister, who she lost when she was around 6 years old, but it’s not. ‘Hello’ and ‘Like You’ are about Amy’s sister.

My Immortal does show off what Amy does best. What made My Immortal was Amy's vocals. This one is right in her wheel house. She made a musically nothing song into a very good song.

[@Ozzy_2014]

This song was so early. Its at least 20 years old and this concert 15 years ago. She's married with a kid now. Holding weight but looking good for her 40s. More important she has improved her vocal skills. Synthesis recorded in Germany circa 2018. So much more raw power and higher notes. I believe the song was about her music partner and band member Ben Moody ( keyboards?) Who left the band just before Fallen was released and went worldwide. This and 3 other songs were on the Daredevil movie with Ben Aflak & Jeniffer Garner. Movie was considered a flop. Bring me to life and Going Under being the other 2 tracks. Like I said check out recent albums. The new one releasing is the bitter truth. Should be on the lookout.

But this song doesn’t challenge her vocally or show off her brilliance as a musician. I think that’s why so many comments are talking about “synthesis” live or other songs.

Can you imagine the sheer power of 1000 people's emotions all connecting on your circuit all at once. That must be both the dream and the pinnacle of demand on a professional singer. To not only deliver a performance, but also (outside of classical maybe) to also be a conduit for the crowds emotions and feedback. I think her express was "Fuc......!!" or "Wow....!!" and she was seeking support with the rest of the crew she comes with back stage.

[@dancingkitty11]

I've seen Amy live in concert twice and she is truly amazing. I love her voice.

[@Vahlsten]

Full body goosebumps anyone else? From the song itself and the audience participating and well, I do have fond memories with this song from almost 20 years ago.

And thank you to the sound engineer who was able to keep Amy's voice at a constant level while bringing in an entire electric band.

[@ciscolobo1]

I got to see evanescence in concert back in September of 2022. I got a general admission pit ticket so i was leaning on the barricade front row. For her last song, the stage crew wheeled out her piano she sat down with a smile and said "yall sing this with me one more time for old time's sake. Same as this video on the first note, we already knew. Singing along to my immortal with amy lee no band just our voices and the piano. I will never forget that moment ❤

[@edusszfx]

To sing like that live? Damn... Pure talent!

[@jeremyfitts6802]

Amy Lee an angel who chose to stay a little while longer. Never moved to tears before this song. A long time ago....

[@wrightgregson9761]

Serious question: What is the reason that this song brings almost everyone to tears even though I can't understand most of the words?? the piano refrain (?) is so hypnotic and emotional for me.

[@iceman00behave]

Because her voice is so beautiful, and describes the vibe of the song and the emotion of the lyrics amazingly well. Just do a quick google search for the lyrics, and you'll see what I mean.

[@wrightgregson9761]

@@iceman00behave Hi--My question was sort of rhetorical, but also there is a quality and sound to the song that engenders a strong emotion and i am quite sure a musician/psychologist can identify certain patterns and notes that lend to that particular emotional quality. As to the words----i did not understand much of the lyrics but the music as a whole still had its effect. (i did read the lyrics later.)

[@bottomofastairwell]

@@wrightgregson9761 musically certain tones tend to sound more sad than other, and a lot of minor chords will sound sadder. So on the piano specifically, the white key (major keys) tend to sound more bold and clear, and if you work a lot more with the black keys (the sharp or flat versions of those notes), you can achieve chords that just sound more sad. The chords this song is written with just bring out that sad sound. Also, the way she sings the song really works. She has a sort of breathy quality that was mentioned for this song, which is how it sounds when you're trying to sing but you're crying, you can't breathe as well. There's a million reasons why, but I felt like even if you didn't know english, the way the song is set up, the specific notes chosen, and even the way amy sings all contribute really well to a song that will make you FEEL the sadness

[@wrightgregson9761]

thanks for the detsailed explanations. I wonder why minor keys affect the brain/emotions that way.

[@seaztheday4418]

@@bottomofastairwell The white keys are not ‘major keys’. That’s not how that works. When you play in a major key, you use a specific sequence of notes with specific intervals between them (tones and semitones). A minor key just uses a different sequence of intervals. When you play in C Major, you actually do use only white keys, but the other major keys all have at least one black key in them. Also, a note that has been sharpened or flattened has simply been moved up or down one semitone respectively, so a B sharp is also a C, and a C flat is also a B - both are white keys and yet can be considered sharps and flats.

[@mikerhodes8778]

I love this song. It always brings tears to my eyes. Her pitch and intonation is perfect. The thing I love about this channel is watching how much you enjoy these songs too. It's like you need to pause the video to catch your breath and that's how I feel when I hear perfect music. Its deeper than sound. It's a primal organic feeling. Stirring emotions within. Your video on wardruna and Aurora also has this effect. I came across them about a year ago seeing a video of them performing outside a cave in Norway I think. Truly wonderful and mesmerising. Thank you for this channel

i ask again but can you react at Serj Tankian ( like "Empty walls" in solo ,"toxicity" or "Aerials" with System of down ) he have so many variations and so powerful, he's amazing. I love yours videos. Sorry to my poor english but kiss from France.

how can someone sing this without crying? i can't even listen without bawling my eyes out and i'm not even thinking of anyone!

[@commonsenseisntcommon1776]

I know!

[@katekinder]

Mainly because she does not have the connection to this song who its about. Ben wrote most of it and it was about when he was losing his grandfather so it had much more connection for him.

[@Candy6v9]

@@katekinder Ben wrote the words from a fictional story. He stated himself back then that it's fiction about the the ghost of a loved one haunting someone. He and Amy co-wrote it when they were 15/16, with Amy fleshing it out on piano and adding the bridge. Amy said since early on that she doesn't really like the song (and especially doesn't like the demo she recorded that the label forced them to put in Fallen), but she's also said that over the years she sees it as a part of the history with the fans and enjoys the fans' sing alongs at shows

[@Maedrya]

"Lithium" and "My Heart is Broken" are, in my opinion, the best songs from Evanescence to analyse Amy's voice ! I think you will love this performances, Elizabeth ! Keep it up, you're great !

[@beegeezee505]

Second for "My Heart is Broken" It smacks pretty hard. The video, plus the back story, make it into a great thing.

[@larrylindgren9484]

@@beegeezee505 Amy does go from feathery soft to showing of her major set of lungs. I love it because I can always hear the harp playing instead of the piano. Amy wrote it for the harp. You can hear in clearing in parts she plays on the piano. They were I guess you could say harp parts. Amy said the band played faster and faster. She could do it on the harp anymore so she used the piano. I'd love to hear the harp version of it. For those that don't know. Yes Amy plays the harp.

[@JSmith1560]

I get chills down my spine everytime I see Amy pause and look to the band and mouths "wow". Its so amazing

One of the best songs of all time. Credit to Ben for writing it and Amy for expanding it and singing it.

I've seen Amy Lee several times. Each time, she's left me in awe of her ability to convey strong emotions. I just don't see how she can't feel emotionally exhausted after each performance. Truly, she has a rare gift and I am more for her having shared it.

[@fmkwvejf]

Amy is such an incredible singer. Would love to hear your analysis of "Hello" as well.

This has always been an emotional song for me. The words express a lot about how I feel after my mother’s suicide when I was 17.

That's must have been horrible to go through. Hope your doing better. I assume it was a while ago.

[@GhostIncVlog]

I remember.... saw them back in 2003 on the Tour where Ben left the Band during the Tour. Just knew the Album-Version without the Rock-Parts. While Amy played that Song.... I was wondering, why the Rest of the Band would come on Stage towards the End and as the Band kicked in... I was just blown away by the Intensity of that Version!

[@NicholasCorvin]

*Yeah, the rock part exists only in the "Band version", which is also the version they used for the Official Music Video. This "Band version" was only on the "My Immortal"-single. Neither on the album "Fallen", nor on the "Daredevil"-soundtrack they used the "Band version", on those they used the "Just Amy & Piano"-version....*
