Carly Smithson - Bring Me To Life (Toronto 07/26/08)

[mcmuffinerson]

I'm really ashamed of you Evanescence "fans". Just because she's not Amy doesn't mean she's bad. Shame on you, coming here to bitch and whine just to spread hatred and intolerance. Amy would NOT want that. You are doing NO good by moaning, so shut the fuck up. Sure the video quality doesn't do this performance justice. You aren't giving her a chance. So she's not Amy. Boohoo. She has a great voice, but you wouldn't know that because your too busy complaining to open your fucking ears.

[mcmuffinerson]

I'm sick of hearing this. Compare any of Amy's performances of this song to this, you'll hear that Carly hits the pitches even better than Amy (and those pitches are IMPOSSIBLE). She HAS an album of "her own shit" and it happens to be even better than Evanescence's new album. She has a right to cover Evanescence. You hypocrites; trashing people that dislike Evanescence songs, then going and doing the same thing to Carly. If you don't like WATF, stop bitching and just DON'T LISTEN TO THEM >_<

[rafaelpadulla]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!

What the F...is she doing???

[zackaerith4ever]

God, she looks like she's pole dancing and grinding the mic -_-

[VanesaDarknessWolff]

ash!!! íensen lo que quieran...!!!!!! ella es la mejor.. pese a quien le pese jajaja

[ximena16g]

.l. carly da ascooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fingerscrossedforluv]

you gota admit Carly had a lot of guts to do this. she's not a copy and there's nothing wrong with doing a cover. yea Amy did a better job at this song, but Carly's a great singer. haters quit hating unless you know what it's lihke.

[TheWithinTempation]

Better than amy's version! the higher notes are much better and her voice is more intresting as amys. Amazing, love you guys :DD

[TheBellala]

this thing here, made my ears BLEED! i was going through a brain hemorrhage when she started singing. WRITE YOUR OWN SHIT! don't spoil something beautiful

[EpicxRush]

WTF can she not write her own shit.... Get a life chick:/

[Thompson1593575]

Evanescence is only ONE !!! this is mega shit !

[joy5238]

it is not good enough to sing bring me to life evanescence'm a lot more

[NymphOfHeaven]

she bring me to DEEPEST HELL

[mari11anna]

FOR EVERY1 SAYING THEY ARE NOT TRYING TO COPY EVANESCENCE OR ANYTH I SUGGEST YOU EDUCATE YOURSELVES BY VISITING WIKIPEDIA AND LEARN THAT THE ONLY REASON FOR THEIR EXISTANCE IS EVANESCENCE AND REVENGE!! STUPIDS!!

[mar235]

She knows this is wrong...I will giver her that...

[0126947289]

sad and fake... heard better in karaoke joints in asia... no joke...

[DEMY160]

Carly sounds better to me when she was not it We Are The Fallen. because when she sings bury me alive she sings with the back of her throat and it sounds terrible. she is sorta copying Amy. but you can tell it comes naturally with amy, and sounds much better because It doesn't sound as subtle. as Carly. Let's face it, she is trying to be like Amy.

[susangotik]

EN ESO ESTÁN CAYENDO LA BANDA DE LOS EX EVANESCENSE,,,DEBERIAN DARLE UN TOQUE CHANCE DIFERENTE, PARA QUE NO EXISTA CONFUSIÓN, PERO ENTRE GUSTOS Y COLORES???,,,,,,,EN DEFINITIVA AMY Y CARLY DOS EXCELENTES MUJERES ROCKERS, QUE CANTAN HERMOSO Y SON BELLISIMAS!!!,,,,PUNTO!

[susangotik]

AMY LEE ES Y SERÁ UNA BUENA CANTANTE, SUS TÉCNICAS SON DIFERENTES QUIZAS,,,,PERO TAMBIÉN HAY QUE ACEPTAR QUE YA TIENE UN LUGAR DENTRO DE SUS FANS Y QUIEN GUSTA DE SU VOZ Y TALENTO!,,,,PERO NO HAY QUE DEJAR ATRÁS QUE ESTA CHICA TIENE UNA GRAN VOZ,,,QUE TAMBIÉN A SIMPLE VISTA LA ESTAN KMO QUE TRATANDO DE DISFRAZAR CON LA PINTA QUE AMY USA,,,ESO TAMBIÉN ES OBVIO,,,PORQUE EN VIDEOS ANTERIORES DE CARLY SE VE CLARAMAENTE QUE ELLA NO ERA ASI ANTES

[XxAlexiaStarxX]

I don't know why...But I Think Ben will leave again watf and ... Do the same thing with Carly...lol

Amy is the best

[XxAlexiaStarxX]

@cassfreak22 Exactly what i also think,i can remember some people who say that Carly sings Live better than Amy but Amy moves a lot (could she even do 10% of her moves and sing?)

[JoedotPadilla]

What's with the pelvic thrust? Bring Me to Life is NOT a bedroom-sexy song.

[1993btvs]

I hate this. I love Evanescence and I like We are the Fallen, but this shit sucks, I know this was during the AI tour and was before she joined WATF but she shouln't have tried to sing this, and I hope she does not sing anything for Evanescence again.

[nsivi]

Lo que pasa es que esta mujer le parte el hoyo a Amy Lee en vivo.. Amy Lee está cantando como las weas en vivo, no canta en los tonos altos, grita, y eso se oye y se ve a simple vista. Lo que a los fans de Ev les pica es eso, no aceptan que Carly es talentosa y ocupan el argumento falso y trillado de que es ''una copia de Amy Lee'' ... eso es un argumento pasado de moda, señores... solo hay que saber reconocer cuando alguien es bueno, nadie los va a matar por eso, dejense de pendejadas.

[nsivi]

@nsivi y que conste que soy fan de WART y de Evanescence.

[soiluciia]

OMG.. kill yourself please, this sucks!

[xartemis94x]

this woman has no emotions...sorry but yal never be even similar to Amy..

[HellsLeeWay]

It would be alright if she actually sung the right words.

[Athena8823]

I thought paint was on her hands.....

[DuduRMetal]

her screams reminds me kelly clarkson...it's not bad, but just don't match with this amazing song from evanescence.

[DuduRMetal]

it looks like she was fucking the microphone

[TheScotty775]

goood try carly but you still suck

[1darrinblake]

she will NEVER be amy. lol even if she has part of the original band in hers. she is no where near as good. wheres YOUR grammy? lol poser.

[evaggeliamy]

EPIC FAIL.

[hemna]

FAIL

[Demon1LT]

You guys are only disliking this song cause it's Amy Lee's song... instead of the actual singing performance. Users are such horrible critics.

[danmablack]

esta vieja namas grita quiere imitar la voz natural de amy lee aunque yo si eh escuchado por ejemplo i wiil stay o whith you son buenas pero siempre será la copia region 1000 de amy lee y evanescence arriba evanescence!!!:) igual hace un cover de u2 y tssss solo se oye grito!:)

[Summersky46]

Bleh.

[arcorumblebush]

Ok, for all of you that think her dancing style is horrible, take this into consideration. Singing is difficult to do while moving, without cracking your voice. Also, for those of you that think she butchered the song, or that she's a fake, I think this is the true test of skill. Listen to Amy Lee in concert, and you'll see what I mean. Honestly, if you say you're an amy lee fan, and that this girl butchered her song, then you must only have heard the album, and not gone to concerts. MY OPINION.

[Insan3Solar]

WHAT grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. as an ev fan carly BUTCHERED this song. booooooooooooo hissssssssssss

[YuriHanaY]

Not the best cover...

And god, the way she dances reminds me of Anette... x-x Atrocious dancing style.

[backspace1001000]

ОТСТОЙ!!!!!!

[hugoevanes2010]

Desgrasiada como se atrevio a hacer estooo y ademas no tiene voz para cantar esta cancionnn babosaa!!!

[virgi10maguna]

es malisima !!

[machatago]

seriously? a rock song and she's standing there and hair flipping???? its not for the genre honey, please dont do that...sheesh:P



[absolutjared]

I think she sounds great here. 

[ILLHaunterM]

she have a good voice, but obviosly EV songs are not for her... she must sing something more for her voice

[NavyAerographer]

really now... But I thought she never listened to Ev before?

[xxAliceIsOnFirexx]

I don't like this at all, but sorry to rain on your parade guys but this is the American idol tour, she was told to sing this, and she wasn't in We Are The Knockoffs - I mean, Fallen. Amy Lee owns this chick hands down.

[666OkSi666]

корова,отстой..

[MsMalv]

SHE'S SUCKS!! THE SAME LIKE MOODY. PFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!

[isOLatEmuRCieLAgo]

wasted..... hhhhaaaayyyyyy

[DonHertax]

(Sorry of the re-post) It looks that theres like 10 persons on the concert

[DonHertax]

I think that I am one of the LOT of persons that just entered this this video to tell THIS: BEN DON'T TRY TO MAKE CARLY LOOK LIKE AMY, SHE'S UNIQUE, SHE DOESN'T NEED TO USE A SHIRT THAT SHOWS HER TIT* TO LOOK HOT, CARLY MAKE THAT AND SHE EVEN DOESN'T LOOK HOT. AND AMY MOVES ON THE STAGE SO SHE SEES ALL OF HER FANS, BUT CARLY THINKS THAT APPEARING FROM UNDER THE STAGE IS COOL.

But Guys I really don't blame Carly for being a Bitch, I blame WE ARE THE FALLEN BECAUSE THE THINK, NO THEY KNOW THAT AMY

[DonHertax]

@DonHertax (continuation) THEY KNOW THAT AMY MADE THEM A TRUE BAND THAT SHOW THAT METAL IT'S NOT ONLY FOR MEN, IT'S FOR WOMEN TOO AND CARLY IT'S JUST A WANNABE It's the end of my commentary :D

[Paperflow3r]

OMG I am terrified, this sounds more awful than my cat in a blender.. and whats with the shiny shit on her? It s rock not Madonna concert you despicable human being..i fucking hate you all for ruining great songs which i grew up with. Lots of nerve on them...Still Evanescence beats the crap put of them on all grounds...!Amy Lee Forever! All you fallen fans can fall the fuck in my basement and rot ther3.

[IWinEndOfDiscussion]

@Paperflow3r ...What if I like both fallen and evanescence?

[MariiLutz]

this sucks! no two like Amy Lee, that the cheap imitation horror

[snaggy95]

I hate this chick

[ImagineTheSky]

Oh my god noo! The singing style she has sounds horrible covering this! Amy Lee's voice is beautiful and haunting, her voice is strong where it needs to be and sounds gentle when it needs to, she can control it perfectly to match the nature of the the song, THIS! she just belts it out in some diva, warbling way! People say WATF sound the same as Evanescence...I'm sure they want to be their "own band", which is just as well because her voice will NEVER sound as perfect for this music as Amy's.

[WhAtEvErMoRoNz]

My ears are like bleeding here. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go listen to Lacrymosa for the next hour and a half to try and mend the damage done in my minute and three seconds listening to this crap.

[VictorSTORMDRAGON]

carly is so beauty...

[yourrfacehere]

is that supposed to be dancing? whether ben wrote the song or not, he needs to stop trying to making that girl amy.

[kpdh4324]

Nope. Nobody in this entire world will ever beat the original. I love Amy.

[souleaterhana]

I don't like takiing sides, and I'm not gonna get any fans for this, but...

This is from the album fallen. Maybe Ben could still use this song in gigs, because he helped write it.

But I'll agree. This cover is shit.

[CapTim14]

Blasphemy!!!

[sowhat80xx]

brutal... sing your own shit



[Paperflow3r]

@sowhat80xx

better, fuck off and die!!!!!!!!

[sowhat80xx]

@Paperflow3r haha really? take your own advice retard

[SomeDevil55]

@sowhat80xx K um, this was during the American Idol tour. They don't sing their own stuff.

[giuliaRasengan]

disgusting, this song is by Evanescence

[WhAtEvErMoRoNz]

@giuliaRasengan Yeah, but Ben wrote it, so he can still use it :/ Which just sucks like she's gonna kill it.

[Gothrhapsody]

PLz Guys who can upload a video to AMY LEE singing one song for this F@#king Bitch

Sure no one can coz The Queen Never sing For This Bitch

[artemisisthebestever]

FUCK CARLY!

[musicismylife9545]

Okay, all the people saying she's copying Amy Lee; what's the fucking point?! Do you complain about every fucking cover bands/singers do for God's sake? Who the fuck cares if she's singing a fucking COVER? She is not trying be better than Amy. Neither are better than the other. They have their own fucking beautiful voices and if they sound similar than so fucking be it.  You can't control that so if you don't want to hear her than don't watch her videos.

That said, I liked this performance.

[mcmuffinerson]

@musicismylife9545 I wish I could thumbs up this a hundred million times. Thank GOD I'm not the only one that isn't a fucking zombie.

[froghead213]

i dont like her because she lied, she sang evanescence songs like this then two years later in an interview she said she never listened to evanescence music, and if she wants people to stop calling her an amy copy and what not, she should stop singing evanescence songs

[WhySoAnon]

First of all, Oh dear god no....Secondly, why is basically humping the microphone...? This was terrible on sooo many levels...

[seh99111]

U lair

[charlottevard]

Wow, this chick is just full of herself!

[link000000]

FUCK NO!!! Get that fucking bitch off the stage! You cant replace Amy. Wait didnt they say they where not copys? LMAO!!! XD

[PoochiMoochi]

with this voice and clothes she seems Britney Spears trying to sing something rock... PATHETIC

[SubMooseHorse]

She said she never listened to Evanescence before in an interview about what she thinks of the whole Evanescence/ WATF thing....

It's not that she "sucks" or is "a copy of Amy", I don't like her because she's a liar...

: /....... I have no respect for liars.

[MickKick69]

@SubMooseHorse Exactly i dont have a problem in the world with her singing i think she is very talented it's that she lied about never listening to evanescence, again love her talent hate her being a huge liar

[Demon1LT]

@SubMooseHorse You sure the interview was before she learned this song? :/ Just sayin

[myforbiddenlove321]

@SubMooseHorse maybe after she said that she decided to listen to them?

[DailynNgo1]

her humping the mic is disturbing!

fuc*** copy!

[Enma114]

no me gusta esta copia barata de Amy Lee!!

[Evanescencefan967]

the whole time shes singing she looks like shes humping the mic stand!

[chrisxrussell]

This was just after American Idol.. long before The Fallen was ever thought of. She in no way now wants to be Amy Lee. It was a song she liked, and could perform well. Stop comparing bitches!

[michievans92]

copy!!! bad copy!!!

[arturesteve]

Dude, this is from '08, Carly hadn't met the WATF guys back then, she wasn't even planning on doing this song until she was asked to. Just because she's in a band with previous Ev members does not mean that she's a Lee wannabe. And their voices sound nothing alike, let's get real, starting from vocal range, they're different. And Carly's long black hair has been there since before Idol. And wel...you can't really blame her for her light colored (beautiful) eyes. Cut the drama PLEASE!

[xXemozrusXx]

dude what the hell is that,you sound like a fucking dying cat

[Tellmesomethingilove]

I want Amy :((((((((

[XxSLiPkn0t96xX]

guys leave carly alone she is just trying to get her name out there . and amy should be flattered by the fact that carly thinks amy is a big enough inspiration to cover one of her songs . and yea they sound the same the band is made up of the same people and its the genre !!! get over it !

[IanROX22]

wow guys give her a break, i mean OBVIOUSLY Amy's is better, but why are you watching her vids just to badmouth her? Thats not cool

[nixichixi85]

burn in hell fucking carly shitson

[iloveshadow321]

what a poser. she will never be like amy even though she tries to sing and dress like her

[tjwhdtjwhd]

she just asnwered that she never listens to Evanescence XD wait... what exactly is she singing in this video ? ? ?

[Hienka99]

I hate this.

[alexxx664]

BITCH! AMY IS BETTER!

[socks1w]

I hate her hands.

[OkThen007]

i've heard some of her other songs and she sounds good. when she tries to sing songs that amy lee has already sung she sounds crap

[02061984]

to bad carly said that she had never listen to Evanescence before she join there band ...yea right cheap copy find your own nitch

[MisterBoswell]

votefortheworst com/story/665816/carly-smithso­n-gets-mad-when-a-reporter-ask­s-her/

[AllAboutMetal]

We Are The Fallen.. Consists of real musicians.. To say the least.. Moody,Lecompt, and Gray are in this together.. they know talent when they see it.. Amy brought this upon herself.. WATF!! (=

[DarkyAngel1982]

Go CARLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[bob837223]

So what ever happened to Evanescence? Oh ya, Ben Moody left with the rest of the band and didn't write Amy's anymore songs. To call them "Amy's songs" because she sang them is just wrong. Calling them Evanescence songs would be your best option. While this particular version wasn't the greatest I can probably point you to a couple of others that sound just as bad with Amy singing them.

BTW I've seen Amy sing "her songs" her passion comes and goes.

[Drambrarcer]

Hahah it's "without your touch, without your love" not "without your love, without your touch"... If you're going to copy Amy at least learn the damn song! XP

[Illuminati10101]

A quote from one of Amy Lee's songs (Evanescence) about Carly Smithson.

Further Away:

I took their smiles and I made them mine

I sold my soul just to hide the light

And now I see what I really am,

A thief, a whore, and a liar!

[bbradfordp]

Eww....where's the passion?

[my1majesty]

sahme on u.

[TheOmegaAnon]

Stop being faggots and just admit WatF has great potential.

[my1majesty]

no one can replace amy lee even in death and carly can't take away the torniquet from amy lee's hand. she should'nt sang the song of evanescence coz dey r only fallen and not blssed.

[Raye1530]

On the CNN interview of (We Are) The Fallen they say they are a completely new band and have nothing to do with Evanescence and they are not trying to be another Evanescence...well then if that was true then they wouldn't have Carly sing Bring Me to Life. That is an Evanescence song and if The Fallen doesnt want to be compared to Evanescence all the time they should have never sang that song; leave it in the past! I do wish The Fallen all the best in their future endeavors though.

[daegor1]

@Raye1530 She sang this song before she was part of 'We Are The Fallen'

[25pheonix]

its not about Amy versus Carly.Who is better?its not a competition.people have their preferences but its not a competition.

[25pheonix]

like singing it like you believe it....like you believe in what your singing.

[25pheonix]

somehow with Amy Lee this song meant something because it was like Amy (and everyone else connected with this song INCLUDING Ben Moody) put everything she had into it....like it was her life's work. I don't think that ANYONE can replicate

that.

[bbradfordp]

Agreed! She lacks that beautiful chill that runs down your spine when you hear Amy Lee. This sounds like another pop star, or Kelly Clarkson. Evanescence was unique because she didn't sing that way. But why are they singing Amy Lee's songs? Is she jealous?

[25pheonix]

I don't think it is out of jealousy....

Anyway I think that the music speaks for itself. Like is said before>>>> 'somehow with Amy Lee this song meant something'

Like it is meant to be Amy's song!!!

[25pheonix]

From reading all the comments left by people it seems that most people prefer Amy over Carly. The music speaks for itself.....

[bbradfordp]

Wouldn't you?

[bbradfordp]

Sorry. Its just that when i hear another chick in a band sing Amy Lee's stuff it makes me feel like she's competing and trying to out do Amy.

[angellacullen22]

i hate her

I love for ever Amy Lee!!!

[Director84]

You'll probably find her in Arkham Asylum. ;-)

[blancaphoenix007]

she is not sinning she is screaming .... SHUTTTTTTTT UPPPPP mendiga vieja fea

[wadekl1]

ew...

.... making this song a pop song is NOT a good idea Carly...

[emilia223]

did carly write this song ?

[wickedphant0m]

No, it was written by Ben Moody and Amy Lee of Evanescence, the band who originally recorded the song.

[blancaphoenix007]

no way!!!! Carly never write this song .... this was written by ben and amy

[patalagel]

shes AMAZING

[abunnykc]

She looks out of place. I feel like I'm watching Kelly Clarkson performing rock..She doesn't sound horrible, but nothing special. They should have waited to release anything till they had their own songs though. I do understand that these are Ben's songs.. It just looks childish on his half.

[Azazelette1]

I agree she doesn't get into the part, it's like she is bringing Idols up on stage, which is not good. I def prefer Amy if there is any competition. But Bury me alive is good, but that is because Ben is behind everything i guess

[SenshiSoldier]

keep in mind this was for an american idol tour

[Azazelette1]

I guess that explains it. doesn't really excuse the way she is torturing this song.

She has a great voice, but she should stick to 'her own' songs that Mr. Moody writes for her. It's always going to sound like a cover when they perform Evanescence songs, even though Ben has legal right over them, it just seems... wrong in a way

[death6lady]

Fuck, just shet up!!!!

[Escapist1st]

how can Ben say this is heavier than Evanescence? she should move along the stage, she hasent got the power Amy has both moving and singing, and Amy has a very wide vocal range and she gives more strength to songs from my point of view. If they say they dont want to be a copy of evanescence and that they want to be more heavy, they shouldnt use evanescences' songs and do their own heavy music. I think they only want to destroy Amy. Evanescence is Evanescence and not The Fallen, and Amy rules!!!

[LeChifer]

she is just a poor Amy's copy. She will never be able to sing as gentle as Amy

[HelloKittyObssesed]

@LeChifer

God Dahm,She's Singing How She Sing's,She Ain't Amy So of Course She Isn't Gunna Sing Like Her She's Her Owm Person,Own Soul,Own Voice OF FREAKING COURSE She Isnt Likk Amy But She Probably Likked This Song So She Singing It,CHILL.

She Has A Beautiful Voice,<3

[amongthe]

:| i don0t like it xD i mean, she sings well but i don't know... amy has a beatiful deeper voice and sweeter xD i can't believe this girl is said to be similar to amy xXD or even her band will be the same as Evanescence xD

[vergilg]

Why does she keep humping the mic stand?

Looks like a bad SNL skit by Molly Shannon.

[SoiledBlood]

i actually like this live performance more than Amy lee's

[Masherin]

My god, what's this!

Damn she should not have covered this song.

[12345carlyfan]

I agree-I have never been annoyed by Carly's amazing voice either. She rocks!!!

[cbotten106]

I listen to Carly all the time and haven't been "annoyed" yet, so I'm not quite sure what the previous comment is talking about. Rock on Carly!

[GothTaco]

she has that voice that iz really good but listenin to it to much starts to get very annoying...........amy lee iz way better than this ummmmm ill call her a squek

[oOHisMastersVoiceOo]

Amy Lee Is soooooo much better than this!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahahah

[dreamgirlmusic]

I WAS THERE!!!!

Isnt her voice so much higher live?!

I really liked it!

Its so pretty!

I was screaming my head off! Great concert, eh!

[mewmew521]

awesome!!!

[eileenregina]

Carly is very dear to me so i think her version is slightly better than amylee but i still like amylees too.

[demotnt95demetri]

i like carly but she will never be better than amy lee

[yourstaticfall]

Pardon? haha

[DakotaDawnMusic]

wow. the most incredible performance of all time. i saw this live at the Staples Center and wow, it was just incredible. Rock on Carly ;)
