  • Evanescence is far better..:)

  • I don't know why some of you are pissing and moaning. Sure, WT was out long before Evanescence, but come on, guys, they're both INCREDIBLY talented women with amazing voices. And their styles are so similar, I think its great that Sharon den Adel was such an influence on Amy Lee, and frankly they're so equivalent in raw talent I think the people saying one is better than another are obviously just not very open-minded. They're both really, really amazing! So no more complaining! Listen and love!

  • withing temptation es la mejor evanescence no le llega ni a los talones.

  • Evanescence is better BUT I love both bands.... I don't know why we must complain them... they both make good music, and I think, it's better if we're just listening to this music, not complaining....(sorry for my bad english, I'm not native speaker, I've just started to learn it)

  • This band sucks. Evanescence are FAR! better you know what I would even go as far as We are the fallen are better this band sucks ass.... -.-

  • how did u get that what have you done video for within temptation!!!????!!!

  • WITHIN TEMPTATION !!!!!

  • Within Temptation and Evanescence are both awesome bands. :D Evanescence and The Unforgiving are two of the best albums of the year.

  • two great bands <3 but no need to compare !

  • aah --'

    please, Within Temptation is Perfect,

    and Evanescence is Perfect !

    ok ? -.-

    // i love i love DIVA Sharon den Adel !!

    and Diva Amy Lee *.* / Two voices perfects

  • @TwilightRocks0100101 Evanescence 1998, WT 1996 but it doesnt matter. Both bands are great and I love the equally. Maybe Evanescence litle more, but I must admit that WT sounds better live (heard the both). And Sharon is bit better singer...

  • Both bands are Unique, and Beautiful.

  • only song I like from Evanescence is my immortal...

  • to be honest.. i like both of them ......songs ..... but amy sucks at live .. and wt is far away better at live <3

  • i think you guys should stop being so close minded it doesnt matter who came first or "who is copying who" im a huge fan of both bands and i see it as more music that is amazing

  • This video is pointless. And Within Temptation started long time before Evanescence, they've been always a REAL band, and they have demonstrated they are great composers and performers.

    In my opinion Evanescence (well Amy Lee now) has a long way to run to be at their level. And I'm a huge fan of Ev as well, but there are things you can't deny.

  • @jesslleonart Your comment is pointless. This video wasn't made to compare these bands. People, who know only one of them, have a chance to discover another great band. That's all.

  • I love them both equally<3

  • Evanescence is good and all, but I still think Within Temptation is way better.

    no disrespect, but they're songs are written better,

    note for note, lyric for lyric. :)

  • Comparing the bands is bound to happen , both are good personally I was into Evan early loving the atmosphere, then hearing Sharons voice I listened to temptation. To me Amy lee is Sharon with a rough sexy edge. If you need to split hairs listen to sharon on memories, beautiful

  • I like them both.

    But Evanescence and Withing Temptation are completely different...

  • VERYYYY GOOOOD!

  • i like it cool

  • I like them both but WT is my favorite band so I vote for them

  • I like both, but I vote for WT!

  • What was the song at the end?

  • @PrincessNinja007

    the heart of everything - Within Temptation

    

  • Sharon den Adel is on a pedestal far above all other vocalists IMO.

    guitarists and drummers are a dime a dozen. but her voice is irreplaceable. if you want to compare bands, that's fine it's all opinion. but I can't say that amy lee could replace Sharon.. Sharon could replace the hell out of Amy Lee.

  • is like ,, if you compare THE SINS OF THY BELOVED,,with, LACRIMAS PROFUNDERE,, or OPERA IX, with, ARCH ENEMY,,,or MARDUK, with, BURZUM,,or LACRIMOSA, with,MORTIIS,,THE GATHERING with NIGHTWISH,, you know guys,, cannot compare,,,,, SO YOU POSTED A VIDEO.... I GAVE MY OPINION THATS IT,,!!

  • WTF!!! you guys are starting a "fans war like u say""" i just,, post a comment,, an opinion,I JUST SAY !! U CANNOT COMPARE,!!!, did u you guys acctually reading the comments???fuck!!,i never said who is good or bad,,,, in my opinion evanecense, is a copy of all of those bands(and i do like evanecense). and DONT TELL ME me grow up, I WAS 17 WHEN I BOUGHT A DEMO RECORD OF "WT" IN 1994 IN ITALY,, next day of a gig performed for a band called EVOL,,,by the way my favorite is THE DANCE OF "WT"

  • I think it's rather unfair to compare bands, it doesn't matter around what time bands began or anything, because no band is like any other band, they are all individual bands. Every individual likes different music because everyone is different so comparing seems out of the question at all times, don't you think?

    They are all good bands, so instead of comparing, let's just forget about it and just enjoy this :) - Sorry for formulating it likes this, I'm quite tired BD -

  • so you guys,,,believe in whats google or wikipedia says,, right,,,??well no time to argue kids,, found it for yourselves,,within temptation is from 1994, theatre of tragedy 1995,,,,and many other bands ,,you music experts,should know,,,,,regards

  • @aztkification Of course you know better than the band itself. Go to their website and you'll find out - "Formed in 1996(!) by guitarist Robert Westerholt and vocalist Sharon den Adel". Why do you compare old ToT, (even old WT) with Evanescence? Their music was totally different. Do you really find so many similarities between, for example, "Velvet Darkness They Fear" and "Fallen" or "Origin"? I don't.

  • @matievan Evanescence is nothing like WT ... that's like comparing Metallic and AiC ... it doesn't work.

  • @aztkification To be honest, many european bands (including WT, Lacuna Coil and ToT) changed their sound into more mainstream after Evanescence achieved worldwide success. You don't believe me? Listen to "The Heart of Everything" by WT, "Storm" by ToT, or "Karmacode" by Lacuna Coil. All these albums were released after "Fallen"... but does it really matter?

  • @matievan To be honest, WT were mainstream even on Silent force (2004). Not so much as on Heart of everything (2007), but it was mainstream...

  • @aztkification After all, it's not about similarities and accusing of copying each other. The most important thing is that all these bands make a really beautiful and emotional music that makes us happy. All these wars between "fans" are just stupid. So, grow up and just enjoy the music.

  • u know? u cannot compare them!!!, within temptation has been on the stage for may,,many years,,,, evanecense is just a copy of them, and some others bands,, like theatre of tragedy, lacuna coil,etc,,shes very talent(evanecense) of course,, but evanecense is still a copy of them,, ,,evanecense was playing with barbies when WT. was on stage,,, so ,,u cannot compare,,

  • @aztkification You are sooo wrong. Evanescence released their first EP in 1998. Enter was released just one year earlier, only in Benelux. So they started nearly at the same time.

  • @aztkification Check your facts before trying to say one band is a copy of another, @matievan is right. Evanescence and Within Temptation began around the same time.

  • La comparación no viene al caso porque son géneros completamente diferentes pero bueno cada quien xD

  • both r amazing! no comparason!

  • Aw, I was hoping that I would see a duo performance or something. Like the did a song together and preformed it. That would be epic.

  • Sharon and Amy Lee <3 I love both !

  • Magnifique ! ! ! Rien à rajouter !

  • I Love both of them :3

  • Good video,

  • ähm.. one question.. who is that guy singing with evanesence 2wake me up"?

  • amy can sing live guys...dont even say she cant...if you go to her live performances she is literally rocking out...she sits on the piano..she sounds awesome..go to her acoustic live sessions...

  • My two favorite bands :)

  • their both amazing... but personally within temptaion hits higher notes therefor is a tiny bit more impressive /shrug just my opinion xD

  • @meandhorses nope evanescence hits a note higher then WT.

  • 1:56 hawtie straight ahead :) lol jks.. he's pretty good looking though ;)

  • This is not a fair comparison. Amy Lee cannot sing live. She sounds great in a studio. Wonder why? ;)

  • @becharles79

    About every artist uses autotune software in the studio. Why? Because there is always one little thing that could be a little bit better. I don't detest autotune, I praise it. It is just a piece of software that makes music sound better. It's just a step you do in the mixing process. Sounds like a good reason to me to use it.

  • @becharles79 Name one singer who doesn't use SOMETHING in the studio to make them sound just a little better. Sharon does, no doubt.

  • @becharles79 She actually can sing live.The problem is that she jumps around a lot. That makes her go off key sometimes but do watch her acoustic sessions where she sits and sings and she sounds amazing!

  • Comment removed

  • @Zerolagg - erm... they dun actually hav de same style. within temptation r better in high pitch voice. if u notice, amy always use her real voice [instead of high pitch voice] in her songs. which means, amy is better in low pitch voice. i agree w/ u abt their songs. they're f****** awsome!!!!! XD

  • @s2k26 - u noe y? coz in live, if u observe carefully, sharon juz stand on her original place or juz wake a little ; amy always walks around which made her tired n dun hav enough energy 2 sing de songs propely.

  • Within Temptation rulezzz. Sharon always sounds great in her live performance

  • Please, lets not start a WT versus EV on youtube. They are both awesome bands with talented singers and musicians. So lets leave it at that.

  • I think Within Temptation is better than Evanescence.Sharon has an amazing voice and the lyrics that she & rest of the guys are writing are related to society,to life,the songs are full of emotions.The best bands came from The Netherlands and Finland.Always will came from there!WITHIN TEMPTATION RULZ!!

  • I would love to see these bands tour together. What a show that would be!!

  • @Muzzie0323 I think they do have a song together:p

  • WITHIN TEMPTATION IS THE BEST

  • Amy Lee sing amazing live, and its all over youtube, soo that your CRAP and shove it back up your ass,,Amy Lee will always be famous.

  • theyr both cool bands, but amy's live vocals are... the worst ever, she only does playback, so.. sahron rullz while she always tryes to do live, accept the true evanescence fans

  • @nathaniell84 I'm soo glad you were there in the recording studio with Evanescence, thanks for the BULLSHIT,,LOL

  • @jctcmc59 ur reply should tell me im wrong? i was telling facts, ur the one bullshiting by telling notn and... sharon does studio performance also .. if u rly ment antn by that

  • @nathaniell84 Amy never uses playback but in some lives she jumps so much that she gets off key but she sounds amazing in her acoustics!

  • both of these bands are amazing i think evanescence and within tempation are very similar but totally different, so they are just all around awesome. i personally and a huge fan of both, so please COME TO AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!

  • Gosto muito das duas bandas. Tanto o Evanescence como o Within, são duas bandas totalmente diferentes. Mas com vocais femininos que cantam muito. Tanto a Sharon pelo lado do Within Temptation como para a Amy Lee do lado Evanescence

  • I like 'em both, but i like Evanescence just a bit more :3

  • I love within temtation! but i do like evanescence tough..=) but  both are Uniqe! soo yah =)

  • ♥ EVANESCENCE ♥

  • When both bands make you shiver throughout the entire song of all of their songs...you can't choose. lol I had just heard of wt not too long ago..But boy had I been missing out!Idk which I like better of the two

  • No one can be said as better than the other! both possess their own style and both compete very well... though being a dutch band it's really cool that within temptation has come up with more modern singles like Frozen (: we are then just left with personal preferance that's where Evanescence rides my heart (: no offense to within temptation lovers cause i love both !!!

  • Ambas as bandas são boas

  • i love these two band cause they really write about real life and what's not.their lyrics r dark and meaningful,not i love you ,i hate u that kind of sorts

  • Within Temptation, of course ...

    their music are epic

  • both I love

  • How do you not like either band Amy and sharon are both amazing singers, they just have two different feelings when it comes to songwriting

  • @LienxGD You should listen to the Promise you'll see sharon can go very high

    or in the truth beneah the rose

    this is higher than amy ^^

    but i really like evanescence too

  • I really like both but I prefer Within Temptation :)

    I made a video of these two bands if u wanna check ^^

  • Amy & Sharon need to do a duet already!

  • I'm an Eva fan since I was eight, but two years ago I fell in love with WT <3<3<3

  • Both are good. I think I prefer WT because their songs are more upbeat than Evanescence's. Their songs have a more diverse topic matter, like war or death or love or fantasy. Evanescence's songs tend to be really depressing and moody, and I'm just not in the mood for that 24/7.

    I don't know who's the better singer. I would enjoy Sharon more if she got a little more vocal training for her high notes, but I can't stand Amy's mumbling or constant headbanging.

  • I think these are the two greatest bands in the genre.

    Favorite Songs:

    Evanescence - Lithium - The Open Door// Lacrymosa - The Open Door// Hello -Fallen

    Within Temptation - The Howling - The Heart Of Everything// All I Need - The Heart Of Everything// The Cross - The Heart Of Everything

  • evanescence and within temptation are my favorite groupes,but I think that evanescence are better,cause all their songs are amazing.......

  • @fallen138angel I disagree. Not ALL evanescence songs are amazing. I hate fallen, for example. The Open Door, however, is my favorite album in the whole wide world. Origin was good, too.

  • @evanescence9314 no,you aren't right...fallen has great songs,like bring me to life,going under,imaginary,whisper,taking over me........but the most of them listen the same.... yeah the open door is best album ever,ep and origin were good,and their new song together again was awesome...

  • @fallen138angel the ones you listed, except taking over me, are the only fallen songs I like. And Ironically enough, I know the lyrics to all of fallen. I guess I used to like that album. But Ive grown tired and bored of the same constant beats, and same song structure. Ans Ben praises song structure as if it were the best thing ever to walk this earth. As I have grown, I have learned to like songs with more complex song structures, like Nightwish. and, of course, the open door.

  • @evanescence9314 me two feels the same with you,but I just told that all their songs are amazing,although they have the same beats.amy produces new staff every time,that doesn't seems with the old one,so you like the open door now.evanescence every time that make a new album,it's better than the last one,but within temptation aren't so good cause at their albums only a few songs are good....in my opinion

  • I think Evanescence is a little better than Within Tempation...

    but Angels from Within Temption is the best song ever ;)

    (Sorry for my bad english)

  • They are both good but my favorite was and will always be WT ;)

  • Since both bands are my favorite I don't think it's cool to dis either one but I guess it's your own opinion that matters. I think the two voices are on their own different levels of talent so they shouldn't be compared. Both bands are great, and both singers I swear have angelic voices. I'd love to see a real compilation, both singers doing something together. They would sound so good.

  • Evanesence are on top of the food chain, but I like WT,,but Evanesence is better, Amy Lee is the queen of GOTH/METAL and ROCK.

  • Both bands are awesome but:

    Within Temptation>Evanescence

    To me, WT are symphonic metal whereas Evanescence are gothic rock, I prefer s.metal to g.rock to be honest, it's all about personal choice, I think both are just as talented - both Sharon and Amy are ace.

    Thought I'd add that WT have been around longer if any didn't know.

  • La! Both amazing bands! I love both of them sooo much! I admit, Amy isn't very good live, but Sharon doesn't do too well either. Then again, Amy is all over the stage when she sings, and Sharon doesn't move.

  • amy lee is a saprano level2 the highest and whithin temptation is only level 1 there both great but alot of stuff they both do makes me thing some ones copying someone here

  • roflman659: No one's copying anyone. They're both unique bands. I'd check Wikipedia to see who's a higher soprano singer, because I've never heard of a "saprano", and please clarify "Level 1" and "Level 2". I thought soprano 1 was highest, soprano 2 lower.

  • Listen to Amy singing Whisper live. She's horrible.

  • Evanescence songs aren't hard to sing. Amy just can't do them if they aren't piano based. And then, she's still not too great.

  • talent wise, SHARON! lyric wise, EVANESCENCE

  • Sharon slaughters Amy when it comes to singing.

  • there both amazing they r my 2 favorite bands so dont diss one and not the other cause there both amazing

  • wow..you have the 9's down I think,,but can you do the 10's now?,,LMAO your soo sad,,loser.,,you must be a kid.

  • wihtin Temptation is 999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999999999999999999999999­999999999.... times better as Evanescence

  • Evan

  • why does having a high voice automatically make it better? I prefer Amy Lee's lower voice! but I guess that's expected because I'm a violist =P

  • amy lee ^_^ her songs have meanings like the song of my immortal

  • Two awesome bands.

    WT's Sharon has a bit more singing skills but amy lee still is over-awesome. Besides evanscences lyrics are just soooo great, which I can't say for every WT song

  • Pause at 0:05

    She kinda looks like princess Leia to me.

  • Who cares is which one is better,I think they are both really good and they are both my favorite! Doesn't Sharon kinda looks like Princess Leia from Star Wars.

  • wonderful the only word for it

  • What is the final song?

  • the heart of every thing -  by within

  • thanks

  • great mix, but why does it get so much quieter with the first evanescence song?

  • Loved it............

    The Voice make me fly in the sky

  • stand my ground!

  • i think some of evanescence's songs suck, but at the other side also some of WT's do.

    I dont actually care about the band, just the music.

  • love them both about the same..I like the WT videos a little bit more but music wise I like both the same...

  • Evanescence all the way

  • Haha, her voice sounds like a cat on a ripping bench

  • Love them both!! Both are talented and good looking.

  • Im my opinion Amy Lee and Sharon are bothe very beautiful and talented. Ev and WT both have different styles so I don't think it's fair to compare them but they are both very talented bands and both deserve equal praise

  • I prefer evanescence but i like wt too. I think they are very good.

  • the problem here is that many of the best songs by evanescence don't have a video

  • Realmente prefiero Whitin Temtation, evanescense iwal es muy bueno pero la musica de whitin es mas elaborada y original, tiene toques de orquesta lo cual prefiero a las guitarras electricas y los sonidosde siempre, los looks de los dos son geniales, prefiero within pero evancescense iwal m encanta

  • i love the both but Evanescence little more ^^

  • No compition. I love them both Equaly.

  • within temption es mejor sus canciones son mas elaboradas que la le evenescense solamente escuche 2 temas buenos de evanescense y 5 temas muy bien elaborados con un buen toque orquestal a mi gusto within temptation es un grupo que esta evolucionando a pasos gigantesto evanescense son buena banda con una voz angelical sacando eso solo queda musica industrial

  • EVANESCENCE!!!!!! all the way she has the most beautiful voice she do high notes especially the one that calls wight of the world on live at tokyo u should see it, it rocks! and some musics r emotional like good enough or my immortal or watever i just cry...but within temptation is good im not talking bad about them no offense 2 the fans they should sing 2gether at live : )

  • Evanescence are so much better than WT.

  • They are both great bands, Within Temptation is just older, but they both have great & cute vocalists, plus they have a very similar style.

  • OMG FAIL! I JUST SAW IT. PAUSE AT 1:54 :55 as shes walking across the table. the table that was just cleared is now fully set up again? hahahahahahaha

  • lmfao!!! I sooooo love you I am a die hard Amy Fan and Evanescence is my blood but yes FAIL Lol lolol

  • Even though I like Evanescence Within Temptation are a million miles better. How could you compare?

  • BOOOOOOOOOOOO evanonsense sucks they WISH they could be within temptation

  • Evanescence for sure

  • i love evanescence but within temptation is kick butt to xD

  • WT <3

  • MEJOR IMPOSIBLE, que voces tan maravillosas!!!!!

  • Oh, I saw Within temptation & Evanescence hoping it was a song they made together.. That would have been an awesome song!!

  • Within Temptation and Evanescence are my two favorite hands, hands down. It's hard to compare them, but I like comparison videos because I can listen to snippets of both of their songs.

  • nice video, but i hate ppl comparing them, all the comments says, "sharon is a goddess" come on! no on is a goddess, she has a great voice, beautiful voice and thats all, Sharon and Amy have different voice and different styles, stop comparing them, and why ppl is talking about other bands? thats funny Any way, 2 of my fav bands 5/5.

  • Yes, I like Lacuna Coil also. Gotta listen to there music.

  • Within temptation good band and epic songs. Evanescence is emo to me though. Like its alwys about sadness. There are a couple songs that are really good that i can get into w/o listening to the lyrics. but thats me. 5/5

  • yup but Ev is not emo. Their songs are real life, its just that, and WT are a good band too, i like both

  • meh just that there songs mostly contain some sad parts or just a big sadness (a self pity or a cry over whats happening.

  • Ok! thats better, i know some sad songs thats put me sad lol, and i think all bands have sad songs, thats makes you wanna cry :\

  • i like Within Temptation and Evanescence

  • Sharon den Adel > Amy Lee... Sharon is godmode.

  • tarja is a great singer but her voice style is common at opera , amy lee have a great voice !, but sharon sing s like a god and we cant left to simone she have a weird and excelent voice too!

  • Amy Lee's voice is just too perfect for me to pick Within Temptation.

    Tarja's nice, but I still have a preference for Amy.

  • Within!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • well, I chose Sharon den Adel over Amy Lee. I like Amy's voice but I like Within Temption more.

    My fave singer is Tarja, former singer of Nightwish.

  • WT 1st place,cristina from lacuna coil 2nd.When goes the others.

  • Amy Lee is a goddess and can not be touched.. and her bamd is way more talented

  • both are agreat but E.. iss much better(:

  • What? She was literally praised for her singing. Fix your TV you idiot.

  • i Could never chose between Amy Lee,Wt,and Tarja <(old lead of Nightwish BTW)

    nope just can't do it

  • nightwish is def an amazing band but ive gotta be faithful to evanescence on this one :)

  • Both are beautiful but WT is the BEST. Ever.

  • Both are fab! They are my favourites <3

  • Mine, too!!

  • I love WT, but Evanescence is really my band. Evanescence were my first rock band i listened. So definetely Ev.
