  • Amy is obviously better at singing this song than Carly. Why? Because its Amys/Evanescences song in the first place, it fits her vocals better and Amy throws tons of emotion into her music. Carly simply flips her head around and acts like the popstar she is. Amy understands why this song was written and feels with her music. Carly only sings it because she has Ben Moody, who co-wrote the whole *Fallen album. *(if I'm correct.)

    They're both amazing singers, but this round goes to Amy.

  • She's skinnier and prettier than Amy Lee. I mean obviously Amy is more talented, Amy can play piano and compose (although slowly, come on one album in 4 years?). Still, Ben obviously chose Carly because she sounded a tiny bit like Amy.

  • @aggiesmoon

    Amy is freaking gorgous, for one. For two, who the hell cares about weight? And finally, Amy didn't take the entire four years to write the album. She said she wanted a break from being a celebretely for awhile, and she moved to an apartment in New York. Forgive her for wanting to have a normal life for awhile. -.-

  • CARLY SMITHSON WILL NEVER BE AS GREAT AS AMY LEE!!!!

  • I can't understand why so many of you are pissed off and letting this take over you. Amy Lee is amazing and has her own voice. So is Carly. So she did a cover of the song, does that mean that every single person who covers Amy Lee in the entire world are pathetic too? Listen to yourselves. We Are The Fallen is amazing and NOT like Evanescence. Why put two amazing singers against each other instead of embracing both of them as the amazing singers they are.

  • Amy lee is the best, you're ok Carly but Amy is the queen !! 3

  • she should sing "show me heaven" has more of the tone for that song than aevanescence song constructive critisism i have a very sensitive ear it would have definately gone better with her voice test me on my theory i bet im right

  • Well ... carly makes covers only for bring me to life, going under.. She killed the songs with her "good" voice..BUT if her voice is good enough, why she doesn't sing my immortal??

  • I fucking hate these new age worthless singers who try to be something they're not,

    this chick is a singer not an artist like amy lee,

  • guys this is forreal not even that bad. stop hatinnnnn

  • it was an ok performence

  • OMFG!!!.....You're not Amy Lee,you will never be her...so stop in your pathetic attempt to be her!

  • the drummer is a beast

  • She has talent but she doesn't deserve it if she is gonna copy another band.

  • @03yjr Dude, you don't HAVE to make up your own songs in american idol. You can sing songs that have already been written, but you have to follow copyright laws and make sure it's okay witht the original artist of the song.

  • She sings really good is obvious that she never will sing like Amy but she can sing good ¬¬

  • Wtf is she doing stomping like a chicken?

  • muito bom ...

  • Drums at 2:48 <3

  • HOLLY FUCK! O.O I'M SHOCKED!

  • This version is MUCH better than Evanescence. Carly's voice is great because she doesn't sound like she's a dying cat after the first minute of the song. She did a great job and I'm glad she got in with WATF

  • Comment removed

  • @CrossPixieOfSage BBBAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • @Wropera its Simple she stood still she never moved or whipped her hair like amy does on live that is why she's never out of breath plus even though amy moves a lot have you ever bothered lstening to her alive !!!

  • @Lithio0oma Well of course I've listened to her "alive". She sucks. She loves autotune! It's sad because she has the potential for a great voice if you listen to Evanescence's old stuff (Origin, Evanescence EP, In The Shadows, Justice, Le Nouveau Gothique, Mystery EP, Not For Your Ears, and Sound Asleep) You will hear (mostly on the EPs) Her screw ups! Which to me is great because you can tell she's not over-produced like she is now... Now bow to me, For I am right!Even though you won't admit it

  • @Wropera ur kidding right !! i know each song of hers by heart and for someone like her that didn't got trained and to pretty much rock her voice and you call it not good . but of course now that she's famous and all she got trained well she has strong voice and high notes and i have listened to her alive yeah there are some screw up since she moves a lot and get out of breath but its natural she's human being who needs to breath try to run and shake ur head while singing and u'll understand

  • Nice way of singing... Taking your head far from the mic bewteen the phrases so that your breathe isn't heard... And you call that thing a singer?

  • Okay my nlood is still boiling.... she'll never be as good as amy amy is immortal and uf you put a south western pennsylvaina accent (like i have naturally) bury me alive sounds like: brungmealife bring me to life sound life: bruninmealife CONICIDENCE?!? and we are the FALLEN FALLEN!!! AHGHRG!!

  • Carly Smithson: "I've never listened to Evanescence."

    Fucking compulsive lying hypocrite. =___=

    Do yourselves a favor and watch it.

  • She can't even cover AMY LEE, why bothering then!

  • exelente este videooo me encanta y ahora podemos disfrutar de

    EVANESCENCE y WE ARE THE FALLEN

    

  • ptm ya no habra personas capaces de cantar temas propios esta kagada esa banda no pasa nada

  • @sinfonicoxxx QUE TE PASA MALPARIDO evanescence es mejor banda del mundo

    estas envidioso malparido te voy a bloquer tu cuenta ahora pajuo

    Viva evanescence and we are the fallen

  • Carly is talented but no one can surpass Amy Lee when it comes to being the ultimate powerhouse in vocals !

  • por favor solo hay una persona en el mundo que esta capasitada para cantar dicho tema Musical: AMY LEE diosa del Rock ......

    fuera los imitadores baratos ....

  • She's gorgeous and yes she can sing...however when you copy the original you end up cheap,easily destroyed, and willfully thrown away and forgotten. I mean how many of you cried when you threw away your knockoff converse? After I threw mine out I went and bought the original(:

  • Carly > Amy > Everyone else > Amy fans

  • Comment removed

  • We are the fallen pwn evanescence on every level.

  • @woolfallcrescent170 Just wondering, but how?

    

  • It sounds pretty good. She has a really beautiful voice,very powerful. Of course,she can't sing this song like Amy Lee does.Probably because Amy Lee's voice it's unique,and,as she was the first one to sing this song it's a little difficult for ppl to think that somebody else could sing it ,too.

    Anyway,Evanescence it's a great band. And I'm one of the biggest fans. But it wouldn't be fair to don't admit that Carly is very talented.

    Good luck to both bands.

  • Amy is great. I have been a fan since the beginning of Evanescence, but Carly is good too. I don't think she necessarily deserves the ridicule she's been getting. You guys are right. There is NO replacing Amy. There will never be a replacement for Amy. Carly is good in her own way, though.

  • omg, stop with the ridicule already! everyone knows ppl sound crappy with ametuer recording devices like this. She would sound A LOT better if this got recorded with a proffesional camera and sound systems. same goes for amy. they're both amazing in their own way so lay the fuck off!!!!

  • I dont think anyone can sing Amy Lee songs.. She though.. is an amazing singer..

  • with this song and pretty much any of amy lee's songs, if you try to change it in anyway to make it more your own, you are making it worse and taking away from it. No one can cover this song well in any way because its already perfect and there is no way to make it sound better than the original.

  • Quit fucking dissing her! If you haven't seen her live then you have no right to say she's horrible! You all are just jealous you can't sing like her. Carly is an amazing performer and a total sweetheart! So back off!!

  • My favorite song...massacred ):

  • good but NOT EVANESCANCE

  • Her voice is beautiful!

  • Comment removed

  • I hate her, 'cuz she wore latex leggings...

  • fail...

  • She's not good period. this is an insult to Amy and the rest of Evanescence.

  • i like her.

  • She has a beautiful voice,but she is bad comared to Amy. Amy has one of the most special and unique voice that music industry ever had.Her band "the fallen" should stop copying evanescence cuz they will never be like 'em. Amy invented her own style and they should stop pretending that are being themselves.When I firstly heard this band,was on TV.I saw "Burry me alive"or smth like this n I was with my friend.Before I opened my mouth she said:"This band is copying Evanescence don't you think so?"

  • @ToxicPoisonTH lol amy didn't invent shit notice that most of the fallen are the members of evanescence from the fallen album.. those guys created it.. even ben said amy didnt write shit on that album

  • @PhillipMcKeever everyone says that. no one who's against amy don't have an acceptable reason. she worked for that band since she was 14 and i think all of them contributed and created music but amy just gave more than anyone.

  • @ToxicPoisonTH You can't really blame Carly though. I would assume that Ben's in charge of most of the writing and such since he was the one who brought The Fallen together. Just my 2 cents.

  • @ToxicPoisonTH The band "We Are the Fallen" consists of 3 of the original Evanescence band members.

    Ben Moody

    John LeCompt

    Rocky Gray

    The name "We Are the Fallen" is an allusion to the first released Evanescence album "Fallen."

    Wikipedia it if you must.

  • @ToxicPoisonTH You do realize that We Are the Fallen is the original Evanescence band, minus Amy Lee?

  • @ToxicPoisonTH they does not copy evanscene, i meen evanscene will always be the better, but we are the fallen do not copy them

  • Copycat! My Tourniquet! Get some originality Carly.

  • They have totally different techniques which is why this sounds like a lack of talent. Her voice isn't bad, she just tackled a song too big for her voice, to be entirely honest. But you can be one hell of a singer and still not be able to nail a good chunk of songs just right, including this one.

  • Waaaaay to high for this song

  • How bout this, DON'T COMPARE. Ur not supposed 2 compare, it's ridiculous if U think that's how U tell if someone's a good singer er not. Yes, she could've been telling the truth about never listening to her. A lot of times in American Idol, the experts give U a list of songs to choose from & U have 2 choose from that list after reading the words & having some1 play the music for U. Haven't U evr seen backstage of American Idol?

  • She says she never listened to Evanescence.

    Dude! If you have never listened to Evanescence how on earth would you even hear about this song!!!!

    Anyway, this is nothing compared to Amy Lee.

    Amy Lee ftw.

  • @JustinecMouse Thank god, someone with common sense. c:

  • lo siento ... la chica canta muy bien !! pero que no quiera cantar igual que amy lee !!

    como amy ninguna !! que ande bienn saludos =)

  • @heyimhotandyournot

    Then how do you explain looking like such a little girl if you're not one?

  • SHE BUTCHERED THIS SONG. FUCKING CUNT.

  • Comment removed

  • She sucks ass so badly, she should just be put in a cannon and shot against a brick wall.

  • she killed my favorite song

  • @kivancis killed as in good or bad?

  • The thing about covers, is that the performer does not cover a song to try and out do the original singer/songwriter. The point is to pay tribute to the song and songwriter. Amy performs this much better because it is her song. Carly's performance in an objective way was good, her voice is great, and she shows passion. The problem isn't a singer performing in the same style and genre, but the fact that fans only observe them as though they are attempting to be the same. I'm a big fan of both.

  • She seems like she's struggleing to sing and she can't keep those high notes long enough. It's sad actually. I've got nothing against her, but if you want to make something GOOD of your voice, do it in your own -fitting- style.

    Peace.

  • @DarkAngelOfAqua *struggling, sorry. I always make that mistake.

  • i love carly :) i also love amy :) obviously amy is going to sing it better considering its her song, but carly does a good job <33

  • wow kinda similar 2 thumbs up

  • Hey, at least Carly can hit all the notes, unlike Amy Lee ;D

  • @HeyImHotAndYourNot

    That read as: "You're right, but I've got no argument against it, so I'll insult you".

    Thanks babe ;D

  • @TheKatIsBackAgain AMY LEE IS BEST CARLY IS A WHORE LIKE YOU

  • @HeyImHotAndYourNot

    Whores get laid. You appear to be as dry as the Sahara desert, and probably have as much sand in your vagina :)

  • @TheKatIsBackAgain im not a girl go eat shit whore

  • EPIC FAIL!

    Amy is WAY better!  :D

  • i like it better when amy sings it

  • amy lee is better

  • Amy Lee is always better! :)

  • I like it, this took guts! To get up on stage and sing a song that was written for a Soprano when she's a Contralto.

    Granted she has great range, but this was a ballsy move of Carly, and I think she did rather well for herself, given her different vocal range.

  • ai mori malakoo!!! Evanescence is the best, Amy Lee has better voice!! Aggouro! Kisses from Greece !

  • she shouldnt have done this. i mean she's good. but amy lee rocks. in my opinion.

  • carly you sound like shit stop singing and go fuck urself you little poser.....even though u are fat

  • NEVER CAN YOU REPLACE AMY LEE!

  • @nosfuractu who said she was trying to...? this was at an AMERICAN IDOL concert. they sing other artists because they tour BEFORE they write their own music. and she chose to sing an evanescence song. i don't recall her saying 'well, i'm off to replace amy lee now.' the end.

  • @mardgreen88 she joined a band that was basically evenesence minus amy

  • Lin Yu-Chun performs Going Under. watch?v=F084Lx5Hxh4

  • Lin Yu-Chun performs Bring Me To Life. watch?v=7T0AiKkHvmI

  • This is no where as good as Amy Lee. Still for some I imagine it depends on which you heard first. Sorta like if someone has Dr. Pepper before Coke and thinks Coke is crap.

  • Carly Smithson is trying too hard to be Amy lee. She tries to sing like Lee and now she is the front-woman to a band that includes all of the original members of Evanescence (minus the original bassist). We Are the Fallen sounds like Evanescence if Amy Lee performed every song with a bad cold.

  • why does everyone always have to compare covers? just judge on how she does not how she was compared to amy lee

  • I support Amy and I love Evanescence , but I have to admit this girl has talent ;)

  • christ carly sounds SO different here as opposed to on TTWD.

  • Judge for her voice and not in comparison of amy lee(that obviously is always a good singer!)

  • amy =(

  • @bubblesrock303 True. Amy's unique but I'd rather talk about Evanescence and not just Amy because she has always been working in the band. You know I like unique bands and songs and the popularity of Idol singers are nothing like that. Some may have nice voices but they all sound the same. In addition the way to fame is ready for them cause TV makes them famous fast. I appreciate musicians who fight on their own for success. :)

  • Amy's version is WAAAAAY better.

  • ok i really do not see anything bad about it. she has that kind of voice. and if she wants to sing like that then let her. i mean hell i wish she wont american idol. atleast she has a decent voice.

  • terribly bad bend;incline

  • But she has no idea of what's evanescence nor who's Amy lee!! pfff she'd love to sing like AMy!! Copycat!!!

  • dude, the guy singing Paul McCoy's part sounds so freaking stupid! ugh....but i guess this isn't that bad? but NO ONE could cover Amy Lee's vocals and sound awesome.

  • hionestly this bitch cant sing, also amy lee has turn into a total bitch theres not much of a discussion

  • She has a pretty voice... but Bring me to Life is known across the world as Amy Lee's song and no one can out sing Amy... It's the same concept as having David Cook sing one of David Draiman's songs(Like Down with the Sickness)or something... it takes decent singers and makes them sound like cheap imitations.

  • I absolutely love her performance of this song!

  • Ok so she's no Amy Lee but she does have a great voice !

  • sounds like arse.

  • I bet she's fuckec most of the band in the arse already lol. she must have a penis. look @ her.

  • So, this was Ben Moody's thought process. Let's get an Amy Lee cover artist to join a band with all the Evanescence former band members and then attempt to write songs like we used to and maybe her voice can match what Amy Lee's can do. Also maybe she can write music and play the piano like Amy can. Yea. This should work out great.....

    There is no replacing Amy. Her band will always be way more popular.

  • you're so right. Amy writes, sings, and plays waaay too well for it to be taken over by an American Idol punk hybrid bitch. Moody will forever be looking for another Amy to bring him the moo-lah!

  • @brandonover18 hey dumbass did it ever occur to you that he wants to continue making music (passion) and continue where he had left off before he left evanescence?

  • @brandonover18 pity that ben moody was the talent in evanescence and carly has a better voice that whiny lee.

  • Carly's a fantastic singer, and is actually one of my favorite Idol contestants ever... but I'm definitely not feeling this song for her voice.

  • She sucks at singing this. Like, she can sing, especially We Are The Fallen songs, but she's a poser.

  • agreed

  • Long live the real Evanescence!

  • which ones?hahahaha Amy? Or the rest of the members?

  • shes just a fan of evanescence..and she wants to be amy lee sooo badly thats why she did and does all the stupid things, like "We are the Fallen" if only Carly see this read this bitch FUCKK OFF!!! YOUR FUCKING HORRIBLE AND ONLY A WANNABE BIG LOSER!

  • holy crap. she sucks at singing this. EPIC FAIL

  • Amy Lee is better :)

  • Wayyy better! I love Evanescence.

    Did you hear about the supposed new album?

    [=

  • Sure did! Cant wait. Only a couple months until it is released I think! /excited

  • SAme here!!!!!

    Evanescence has helped me through some tough times... [=

  • Yeah same! There is no substitute!

  • deffinitely not.

    Pure Brilliance.

  • I did, it suppose to come this year by god will. I'm really excited about it. I hope I hear a song like my immortal or Breath No More.

  • ya theres going to be a new album

  • OMG We are the fallen is NOT evanescence it is an entirely new band formed by the previous members of evanescence. Stop saying it is evanescence, it isnt, its a NEW band. I do agree that carly is an amazing singer and Im looking forward to we are the fallen but they are not evanescence!!!! And evanescence is also still together and releasing a new album sometime this year!!! Good lord get the facts straight people please!!!

  • wtf.. who is this bitch

  • However, I don't think I will be... ;>

  • how dare this bitch... 1st she takes the band and ruins them... and then she takes the song and fucking ruins it too!... if this bitch wants to stay without getting cut... she had better stop taking evanescence and making them in a way that better suits her vocals because her voice is too suckish, wimpy, whiny, and pitchy to sing high notes...

    fucking bitch...

  • actually ive seen enough evanescence (check my page for proof) and i know what suckish, wimpy, whiny and pitchy are... listen to weight of the world live amy is super awesome hitting an C#6. seriously this bitch sucks hardcore...

  • @randomnezproductionz

    Ok first of all don't go around calling her a bitch, second of all I've been to an evanscence concert couple years ago and I know a good vocalist from a bad one. Amy Lee sings like crap, she's far too overrated for a talent that she does not have, and I'm not much of a carly fan either but at least that girl can sing and not wail like some drone on stage who's belts sound like agonizing wailing screams

  • i think she sounded good. it didn't seem she's butchering it..i think it was an ok version..for me she's still fantastic..

  • i'm alittle relieved after just hearin Gina Glocksen sing CMWYS.

  • what was evanecense thinking when they asked HER to sing in the new band amy OWNS carly

  • Comment removed

  • Carly is a great singer, but compared to Amy Lee, she sounds like shit. This was not a wise song choice on her part. Not at all.

    xox

  • i know right? evanescence is my favorite band trust me this sounded like crap. but carly is still an ok singer. i completely agree

  • @CrimsonRain11 wtf ever you stupid ass piece of shit. carly has WAY more range and talent than amy could ever dream of.

  • @xps28

    Lulz. Calm your silly ass down. There's no reason to get so worked up over someone else's opinion. You'll never make it in the real world like that. Hahah. Wow.

  • @CrimsonRain11 suck it bitch

  • @xps28 Sorry but that's wrong.

  • @DeltaBravo1216 what's wrong?

  • @CrimsonRain11 yeah she may not sound tht good for this song but i just saw her in concert n shes fuckin amazing so u gotta give her ups on tht!!

  • Her voice kinda reminds me of Christina from Lacuna Coil...

  • My god... She sounds WAY too country to sing this song! She's butchering it!

  • it is *okay*... but nothing compared to amy.

  • Haha this is so funny because now Carly is the singer for 'We Are The Fallen', who are just the original members of Evanescence but without Amy. They're like a shittier Evanescence, Still good, but nothing compares, let's be honest

  • good energy. but her voice just doesn't suit it. amy lee's was perfect. the only other-than-amy-lee that i knew can fit these type of songs is only kelly clarkson. -it's hard to find female singers who really have the tone that can suit something rock/metal beautifully

  • man, ppl have to really trust them selves to sing Evanescence on this show. cuz not a lot of ppl can sing it well. she is one of those ppl who can't. she's better than most. but it's bad.

  • AAAAAAAAAH - covers ears -

    - stops video - I need to listen to some Evanescence now !!! :'(

    This is an insult -.-

  • i agree. she over did it and she cant sing as good as amy

  • The best Evanescence cover I've seen. And for those of you still so obviously confused, Ben IS Evanescence, the founder and the artist. They're his songs and it's great to have Evanescence back. Best of luck to Amy with her continued solo career.

  • Her voice is nice for RnB songs but there's no comparison to Amy's heavy, deep, crystal voice. Carly shouldn't try to do metal. Bring me to life is a too goth, emotional and great song for her. Sorry if I offended anyone but I'm a hardcore EvFan!!!!!!! AMY THE SNOW WHITE QUEEN WILL REVENGE!!!!!LOL

  • No comparisons. Carly simply pwns this song!

  • Hahaha another attempt to copy Amy. hahahaha good attempt but only knows amy sing this song in those specific high tones which is crowned,because this is filled with songs with high notes that make no sense. Amy is unique and will remain so ;-)

  • So horrible. I do better than this right now. And im sick

  • THIS SUCKS!!!

  • i think she shoud have sang a song by pink like so what or something, cause she sucked in this one

  • ugh no.

    It's not just about singing, it's really not. It's emotion and presence especially with lyrics like that, and this girl just doesn't cut it. She's just showing off her vocals. I didn't feel anything.

  • Die singt voll kelly clarkson like

    und des lied hat sie i-wie voll versaut

    amy lee singt des 100000 mal bessa

  • i just don't like all the shakiness of her voice, er trilling, er whatever... i don't know what that's called, but it doesn't fit for this song or range. it should be straight-through singing.

    but she still did a good job for what she's doing, it's nothing easy. i still love Amy Lee's the most, and this is...not the version i prefer, to say the least.

  • she make it pop!

    XD...but i love the scream

  • i think she is really good and that and has a great voice. but amy is still better! and the band that she is in now (we are the fallen) is like a piss take of evanesence. i hope evanesence's new ablum kicks their ass. but i no it will :) x xx x x
