Epica - Sensorium (with Amanda Somerville Live in New York)

[tazmaniadinamo]

she is so hot

[gohabsandwings]

I honestly don't give a shit about her look. All I care for is that her voice is amazing, and that she should have been the new Nightwish singer after Tarja left. She can sing both rock and classical, which would be perfect for singing new and old NW.

[ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD]

I would love to shoot my load over that sexy curvy body.

[orehnik]

IMHO,Amanda Somerville is better, than Simone Simons.

Real woman.

Mmmm...

[rbeforme]

Goddamn it's so hot how thick she is

[oziborges]

I like their music, but she is too fat... like that she could be a opera singer instead...  :/

[JuhVas]

@oziborges pity you with this prejudice.. Amanda is so beautiful and one of the best singers.

[sjm20043]

I love Amanda but I don't like at all her new album... but, almost all the people here that say that Simone is better than Amanda.. must listen better this or Cry for the moon.. It's too clear who is the vocal coach in the band... Sadly Simone Simons is overrated, because she is no a good singer.. her classical technique is bad.. she can't be compared with Tarja Turunen, Floor Jansen, Su Ehlers, Lori Lewis or Annlouice Loegdlund ... they are real sopranos..

[kevingthompson13]

AMANDA IS NOT SIMONE! Just forget that nonsense. She is a very good singer in her own right, but Tarja and Simone are the 2 most identified standard bearers for the whole genre.Music needs that, otherwise it would remain in obscurity and the artists would go broke. Epica is a template band that others strive to be similar too.Simone is classic.As far as Amanda, her 1st fem metal work is out in just weeks and the band is Trillium. See demo at FRONTIERS RECORDS channel.Enjoy her with that work.

[D3lma2008]

Her voice sounds very similar to simone's voice.

I hate all that stuped people that talking bad about simone.

If you don't like her voice so don't listen Epica. ok.

[slayer66616]

@D3lma2008

I hate retards like you, If you are this stupid just don't live. ok.

[heroesdrhouseaddict1]

An extremely talented artist and vocalist.

[katalinaheathcliff]

lo único que tiene que mejorar es su headbanging, no es la voz perfecta pero canta mejor que simone en vivo y más pasión en el escenario que la anterior

[Lokomuz]

Sings well the substitute girl

[Glyvenator]

@Lokomuz She's not just a 'substitute girl'. This woman is Amanda Somerville. She actually taught Simone Simons, so it follows that she can easily perform Simone's songs.

[sjm20043]

amanda somerville is hot and has an incredible voice, she MUST be the EPICA's vocalist, te band would be 10000 times better with her, this is VOICE, simone simons's vocals on stage are just a shame, she is out of the key many times and she can't reach at all in a show the high notes that she does in studio :/

[astrolifter]

@sjm20043 I agree, I think simone sounded best during the 2 meter sessions done in 2004. I actually think she's regressed since then...

[uncleandy182]

Super hot, great voice!

[Blutgezeiten]

wow. what a great voice! i downloaded her album some time ago and didn't care to listen, maybe it will be a good surprise :)

[salanee]

people!!!! she is pretty and has amazing voice. she looks like a woman should be.

[fuzzo73]

Amanda is completely hot in every way. I'm sure she is appreciative of the positive comments from people concerning her vocal abilities as her, (ahem)physical assets. I'm also quite sure she doesn't have the time or inclination to give half a fuck about the negative comments on here. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but c'mon guys... have a little class.

[NightProwlerSerbia]

Simone is prettier and sings much much better.

[katalinaheathcliff]

@NightProwlerSerbia is not true

[oziborges]

what fuck. She is fat ugly mf. But I like the music.

[katalinaheathcliff]

@oziborges she is not ugli, she is not fat...you're frivolus person with a brainwashed

[HOCICONSANGRIENTO]

OMG! She's hot super nice body!

[looknaille]

I didn't like her that much on Cry for the Moon, but on Sensorium she is sooo amazing!! :D So energetic, so professional, and such a perfect singer! It sounds like all the high notes are natural to her, when sometimes Simone seems to have some difficulties in singing them live. Both are great, but on that song, +1 for Amanda!

And those who say she is fat... have they ever understood the spirit of the band?

"There is more to life than our

Higher positions, RACE FOR PERFECTION"

[msrasm]

i wanna hear clearer recordings of amanda as main singer of Epica

[Ginnungagap418]

to bad this wasnt recorded right off the sound board, if it was it would be totally mind blowing, the only woman to sound better than Amanda and Simone is Floor

[astrolifter]

@Ginnungagap418 I think Amanda sounds better in concert then Simone.

[astrolifter]

@Ginnungagap418 I think that Tarja sounded absolutely incredible in concert when she was with nightwish.

[Ginnungagap418]

@astrolifter astrolifter you are right, I was lucky enough to see nightwish with Tarja before they tossed her spoiled arse out of the band and she did sound great, but I still stick by my opinion that Floor Jansen is probably the best female voice in metal

[astrolifter]

@astrolifter I respect that. I haven't heard much of Floor singing, but I think I'll listen to some of her songs now.

[irembulan1]

@astrolifter OOOH yeah Tarja is the best :D

[niahaa]

1:28 I have the same pants on my legs right now ^^

[JenthelProductions]

i love her hair!

[BloodyMina666]

She's amazing...

[TheR0xxxy]

Ебать она ляхи наела!!(( такая девочка классная , так растолстела((

[rhandu]

Que gordinha perfeita, meu deus, casava amanhã sem pensar 2 vezes....

[ChristHell91]

Someone can tell me why Simone didn't sing here ? By the way, she sounds really good on Epica songs :)

[pasoeva]

@ChristHell91

Simone had problems with her health, that's the reason as I know...

[peruvolumen1]

increible song , if you like this kind of songs , you must listen saving the world by Aragorn from Peru , its a very goos song and the lyric , is amazing , congratulations kiske

[astrolifter]

She really sings this song well live, better then Simone is my opinion.

[DTROXX]

Amanda is great and her curves are pure sex

[MrsLesleyOlivia]

Where's Simone?

[LoveXHarmony]

she's so sexy :O

[raiotinfamigold]

she looks fat i guess!

[JanisLithium]

@raiotinfamigold you are stupid i guess

[raiotinfamigold]

@JanisLithium ok she is slim and she looks perfect!

[Metalornothing1]

hot... whoever says she's ugly should be stoned.

[nightwishfan06]

@Metalornothing1 they probably stoned with they put that comment there :P

[deportivozorro]

she has to be in a porn movie :D

[end2810]

she has a big ass! yeah!! i love her ass and her voice

[astrolifter]

The woman is gorgeous too..I'd wack off to her before I would Simone.

[astrolifter]

This chick sounds awesome. I thing she sounds better then simone does live.

[nargarothfreak]

i dont like it this is epica so you have to put simone simons in it

she is great no doubt but this dosent work for me.

Cheers!

[astrolifter]

@nargarothfreak Granted, the studio version with the choir people singing the chorus sounds the best, but in the absence of the choir, such in this live performance, Amanda's voice is stronger and comes off as more passionate. Listen for yourself and decide.

[nargarothfreak]

@astrolifter

well no i dont i dont like classical music cross with metal ore what kind of ganre music ther is on this planet

i am a big big metal fan but i hate it when the cross classical with any ganre on the world

you know whay because classical music is art more art then the mona lisa you get my point?

Cheers!

[astrolifter]

@nargarothfreak No, but everyone gets off on different stuff I guess.....

[jezkn]

She sings Metal better than she does Pop. Got right length of hair for Metal too! But I am at a complete loss how people canj make comparisons between her and Simone !!

[pmanderson]

Amanda, is chubby. Stop denying it. It's not like I care, but she is. Anyway, she's a great singer, no doubt. But I still prefer Simone's voice. It's more unique. I love Simone's tender and innocent style of singing. It adds more feeling to it all. Also, people seem to think Amanda is Simone's vocal teacher. NOT TRUE. Amanda does backup and choir voices on recordings, helps out with mixing and some writing, and helps Simone with her english american pronounciation. That's it.

[astrolifter]

@pmanderson Somerville coached Simone during the taping of the 2-meter sessions back in 2003.

[pmanderson]

@astrolifter There's a big difference in coaching and training/teaching. I described amanda's role with Epica in my last comment. And that came from Simone herself in an interview.

[adr14ntr]

@pmanderson I totally agree with your comment :)

[septembershell91]

I thinks she puts more passion on stage...



[septembershell91]

I thinks she puts more passion on stage...

[pablinichiri]

does somebody knows why simmone wasnt there?

[zwelon]

BIG ASS ...

[XMeadowsOfHeavenX]

I love Amanda!! <3 Amazing performance ^^

[Bestella30]

Simone's always sick...ajhhh!!! :S I love Amanda I think she's better :P

[palewitch00]

Fat??.. SO WHAT!!!!! She is a Better singer.. Better on Stage.. Beter musician!! Did you hear any bad note there????,, None!

Amanda kicks ass!!!

[courtois92]

@palewitch00

im agree

think somerville is better than simone, anyway i like both

but yep! somerville kicks ass! *0*

[theothertroll]

What a fat ass

[rasmusta]

@theothertroll what an idiot u are

[45Akira]

My God that Amanda es even beautifuler than Simone.

[AzaakM]

@45Akira  Never... ¬¬

[InMotionVids]

omg!!

i've never heard her sing before! Thanks for the upload ;)

her live performance is better that simones O_O yet her legs are bigger! Am i Being rude here?!

[fabiozatara]

Amanda is so pretty... she is a little chubby, but I love her in this way... I love those legs and that butt, and that a pair of breasts... hmmmmmm... Hot as hell! The guys in Epica are in heaven with Amanda Somerville and Simone Simons.

[taegget]

Thats their background singer? Simone Simmons is way better.

[rasmusta]

this is real good...she pulled it off neatly

[PoisonedWords]

she should make a studio version of her singing this song ;p

[keg833]

Wow Amanda is sex on legs . I cant believe some people on here saying she is fat ...etc . I think she has a perfect figure . The only thing wrong with her is that she is not sitting on my lap . Ha Ha

[ovidumi67]

Amanda has real RUBENSIAN shapes...and she sings like an angel!A real woman...with true forms...nice boobs and wide hips...and angelic voice!I love her!With KISKE in the new project...she sings like n angel indeed!

[yannickhate]

ah fuck,AMANDA make the love with me,you're so hot nice boobs and bubblebutt a love you

[taistelijan]

What a nice voice (and nice boobs, too!!!)

[metallaramosh]

Anyway I prefer Simone.

[tarjabeauty]

amanda is amazing! beautiful voice (L)

[scoorpio931031]

Amanda Sommerville was her teacher. She is actually her teacher...

[tarjateamo]

Amandaaa♥

[hjpaddock]

I love how actively and passionately she acts out the song as she sings. :)

[alveblood]

She has a great voice and a great body! ^^

[marcobrs22]

esa mona esta muy buena ome

[321olga123]

such a beautiful voice.. and she's pretty too

she's amazing

[777WarriorOfGod777]

nothing nothing nothing.... forever simono simons is the best front woman....

[Yithar]

hehe I like the dance that she makes at the last part

[lowest666]

i love her!

[DetNosnip]

It's like if Floor from After Forever were in the band...haha imagine Epica with a decent vocalist!

[XaviOrtega1]

@3mobOoy thanx for your comment....!! you´re cool... have a nice day...!!

[ThrasherSL]

"Que pedazo de mina" es Amanda, y ahora que va a cantar con Kiske la va a romper

[666somber]

then you don't even have a girlfriend ''lol''

[XaviOrtega1]

Simone is 7000 times better than Amanda...!!

Simone is too much beautiful...!!

she´s the prettiest woman i´ve ever seen

(after my girlfriend of course) lol

ha

ha

[bandoupthebung]

Simone Simmons had a staph infection for this tour, so Amanda filled in

[virmond]

Amanda is a lot better than Simone. She is her vocal coach!

You can hear clearly that her technique is far beyond Simone's.

Anyway, I agree that Simone is the face of Epica, but saying that she is better just shows that come people know nothing about singing.

[Baronofcelts]

if Amanda is better i'm a fat guy! LOOL

OK Amanda is the coach of Simone!

But if you're a coach it doesn't mean you pupil can't be better than the master! watch asian movies anf you'll learn more about the subject!

And Simone is better than Amanda! but i like both! but i prefer Simone in my opinion!

[aelia88]

Yes she is her vocal coatch, but her tremolo sucks... it is too rapid... Simone is better and at least she don't seem to cry when she sings, because the tremolo of Amanda looks like it...

[jobikr]

Where the hell Simone is? Why isn't she performing?

[MeAmie94]

@jobikr Simone was sick during that time. She has got a immunsystem disorder, she almost died...

[jobikr]

@MeAmie94 Oh my god, Thank goodness it didn't happend :S

I never knew of it..Jesus...

[MeAmie94]

@jobikr I know, I can't even imagine Simone... dead... NO...They are really unlucky I think, their bus crashed in Canada in february this year, thank god no one got hurt!

[ImXy22]

Me gusta esta tia.

Pero prefiero que cante sus canciones ademas de que yo si alguna vez voy a un concierto de epica me gustaria ver a simone, hecho solo iria para verla a ella en directo ya que tiene que ser acojonante.

[foreverjoyfull]

she is so talented in my opinion I wish I could she epica with amanda !!

[joelkevin]

big tits xD

[XaviOrtega1]

who is Amanda Somerville, i don´t like thw band without Simone, she´s beautiful, and sings different besides shes kind of fat....!!

i saw a video of Epica when they´re recording and i saw a girl just like Amanda, could somebody tell if it´s her??

[TheNocturnalAngel]

Amanda Somerville is the teacher of Simone,she learned thanks to her...

You can see Amanda singing here 'cause Simone was ill,so she took her place during the tour

[TheNocturnalAngel]

and yes,the woman that is recording with the band is Amanda

[DAVIE000000]

@XaviOrtega1

u don't judge ppl based on their physical appearance but based on their vocal quality(when it comes to singing) and yes Amanda does sing better than Simone.

[ledsongxx]

Acabou o Epica, a Simone é tudo é a identidade da banda.

essa voz não chega nem perto, deixa mto a desejar comparado com a Simone. (não só a voz mais o corpinho escultural seu cabelo ruivo unico e sua beleza gritante sobressai a da Amanda).

A Amanda fica bem melhor como back vocal.

[Yazul]

Você de fato não entende nada de técnica vocal. :)

[chikreversible]

ella es linda :) y tiene canciones muy lindas tb hace bien su trabajo y es nice.... y simone omg simone es lo maximo no hay nadie como ella :D

[Befepaz]

Simone es the fucking best !

[xoxlagrimaxox]

she should be on Nightwish ...her voice would fit i think ..just saying btw

[Oceanborn1975]

@xoxlagrimaxox ...Exactly! I guess Tuomas would have done better by choosing her!

Better voice,better attitude as far as one can see here..

[inkenyo]

I'm glad they got her to take Simone's place on that tour. She does a good job. Still I think nobody could take Simone's place.

[TheCreeperQueen]

Amanda really gives hope to us girls who AREN'T as skinny and gorgeous as Simone. Proof that you don't have to be emaciated to be beautiful and to sing beautifully. Of course, I still love Simone as well, but it's nice to see Amanda up there, getting attention. Although... I don't really feel she dressed to her advantage. The fishnet shirt thing isn't really flattering, and neither are those pants.

[maurillion]

well.. .after reading you comment i put special attention to amanda....

And I like her so much!...

There is a lot of gorgeous large ladies...

IMO, there is no average for beauty...

[aceofspades02]

amanda has awesome hips

[AdrianPardo06]

XD AMANDA SINGS VERY GOOD IN EPICA

[TheGangster523]

Diooos mio esta tipa esta buenota !

[igorled00]

Cara..Nada mal =/

Ela ta sexy

[sayhellotoeliza]

FUCKING AWESOME!

GREAT PERFORMANCE

[TheVelvetDiamonds]

she acts a little too much

[newfrontier45]

There ain't a damn thing wrong with the way she's built. You dummies whoare so obsessed with weight should probably look in the mirror and see how imperfect you are. Amanda is beautiful and sexy and a talented vocalist. If you think you have to be scrawny to be sexy you need to pull your head out of your ass and stop reading tabloids.

[othervision]

@newfrontier45

YES! not only beautiful and sexy, what other band has "two" Simone?

his shows the level of the band c / "backvocals" talented and fantastics !!!

Yep, lov Simone, lov Amanda, but Amanda is hot sexy !

[arturesteve]

@othervision Well, technically it would be "two" Amandas, since she's the one behind Simone's voice. But yeah, Amanda's absolutely perfect and has an incredible and versatile voice, one of the best females in metal by far!

[dapsapsrp]

@newfrontier45 I agree, she is gorgeous. She has a perfect face, lovely long hair and a sexy voluptuous body. Sadly our society has become brainwashed into accepting a very narrow perception of physical beauty. And yes,let us not forget best of all her beautiful voice.

[ThanatosDei]

@newfrontier45 /// Totally agre what really matters is what your intentions made you

[uriel666999]

simone simons is most sexy

[drakoblood]

funny arch enemy is coming to the nokia theatre in 13 days and epica in 20 days but at the grammercy theatre exacly a week after arch enemy!! guess what...i am going to both bitches!!

[celticyodels]

Guess what! Same here :)

[nighthorseman85]

Why did she sing?

[celticyodels]

Simone was sick, so Amanda sang instead of her for that tour only

[nighthorseman85]

Thanks

[forsakenMormegil]

Thank god i saw this comment i allmost freaked out at first :D Amanda is great too. i bet concert visiors were boomed

[bigmike5891]

@celticyodels I saw them during that tour down in Fort Lauderdale. She did a very good job filling in, and the way she headbanged during Obsessive Devotion....MY GOD.

[TheImaginarylullaby]

Epica is better without Simone Foxymons

[xXmagicXmooseXx]

I have so much admiration for Amanda...she's really great. That's not to say I don't I don't love Simone, because I do. Simone is an amazing singer, but Amanda is so great too. I don't think she gets enough attention.

[adr14ntr]

Amanda is good...

But Simone is so much better!!

Her voice and beauty are unique!!

[myageo]

Amanda it's like a dream come true at Epica, she has this great voice, that goes perfectly with this band!!!

[foadmofo]

I love Simone , but Amanda could teach Simone a few things on stage appearance. Simone always seems so "wooden" during her live performances.

[rockeradeoz]

Well I'll be damned. I think she sounds better than Simone live. WOOOOOOOOOW I'm shocked because I was all caught up with Simone...she can sing beautifully but in live performances she tires more easily. Good job Amanda. You and Simone both kick metal ass!

[whojulie93]

she sings better than Simone this part 2:26

[whojulie93]

wow O.O :)

[WhiteCrownlessQueen]

she has so long beautiful hair=)

[alexnadim]

great stuff, i like them both and this is a great band !

[lateralex90]

Bueno,al menos esta si la canto con su verdadera voz no como simone,en todo ese album simone imitaba a una mezzo,porque no es mezzo,es soprano...y que raro que amanda no lo haya visto antes eso pero bueno...jajaja por eso prefiero a Vibeke Stene y Melissa ferlaak en cuanto a canto de verdad,estas son mas rock que metal

[22metatron]

simone se inspiro en nightwish

[greyoldfellow]

Its like Simmone with moar meat! Yummy :P

[hhhnightmare]

Fucking yeah!!!!

i´d give u more thumbs up if i could lol!!!!

[hallowgurl55]

i luv Amanda!! shes soo awesome!! she did soooo well!! *sings with Amanda!! i agree they both sound great! simone and amanda, but i have to say that Amandas voice is better! dont mean to offend n e one here either. so if ppls are mad then oo well.

[DestructorOfMinds]

Amanda is better singing live... She sounds so good, and simone gets tired really fast live.. so she starts breathin heavy and all..

[ayradona]

i love them both, simone and amanda.

their voices are both very good, i think.

[alin1975]

Considering Amanda has "pop" written in as her genre on her very own youtube channel, I think you have things just a little bit mixed up.

Not that I have anything against her mind you, but she doesnt even hide the fact that she is not into metal as such (or at least not ahead of other things).

[arturesteve]

Well, the fact that her solo career is not metal oriented means pretty much nothing. Amanda is a highly regarded person in the metal scene, she has worked with After Forever, Kamelot, Avantasia, HDK, she was part of Aina, those are HUGE names in metal. I mean, not that Simone is not good, but she's just another girl who wants to be the new Tarja Turunen or something

[isabeling13]

So what ? Tarja Turunen is one of best singers I now! But I agree that Simone has not a special voice, if it's what you were saying... She has not personality in her voice. Amanda has a better personality in her voice, sure. But Simon's stage performance is better in the gesture :P

[Pelichekdeplantao]

lol

you smoke?

[DAVIE000000]

@arturesteve

HOPEFULLY she doesn't get that diva thing and gets the Open letter lol

[TearTheMystic]

After seeing Amanda like THIS live, you call Simone a stupid pop-girl? You wanna see a stupid pop-girl then look up Anette fucking Olzen, douche bag.

[DestructorOfMinds]

i agree

[eduardosteppenwolf]

She is the teacher of Simon, and i think she is a amazing singer, good version

[divineconspiracyx]

Pero Simone aprendio de ella, eso esta claro. Vaaaaamos Amanda!

[locojuanpa21]

tiene su estilo jajaja pero bien she rocks
