    To everyone in these comments arguing about religion, get over yourselves. They're a great band that lots of people like. Not everyone has to be Christian to enjoy the music. Just scrolling through these comments is ridiculous. I see plenty of people commenting just to start arguments. Just stop, it's not worth getting upset or upsetting someone else over, thanks.

    I have to say.... I really loved Skillet when I heard "Rebirthing" when I heard Korey sing along in in chorus. It was a sound unique to modern Hard rock. The fusion of a male and female voice was amazing and then I head Awake and Alive.....
    Oh my.... what an amazing duo.
    Jen and Korey add so much to the sound of Skillet. I miss Korey's singing but Jen adds so much....
    I love Skillet and i super love that they are Christian.

    Korey built the foundation with the complimentary vocals, but Jen just took it to the next level. I'm so glad because her voice is the perfect balance with John's. I can't imagine songs like Hero, Awake and Alive, Not Gona Die being the same without her. Bless Jen Ledger. ❤️

      @@MrMOd3RnW4rF4R3 I'm obviously not a Christian, and ig I was a little bummed about them being Christian, bcos for me religion (Hinduism) focuses more on classical vibe and less about suffering/recovering and more about positive stuff(I don't know about Christian values and I don't want to assume or impose anything)
      And I obviously didn't get the metaphors about Jesus n stuff, until people commented about it
      So I was bit confused when many songs had emo vibe but they were called "Christian" songs
      But who cares, they sound nice and music is the universal language, a good song can unite even the most different of people

    Interesting relationship dynamics happening at 2:44. Corey takes over the question and really comes across as the business manager of the band.

Sound like she has a lot of influence when everyone else was thinking Jen wasn't a good fit.

    When Jen recorded her first album with Skillet (Awake) she took eight hours to record her part of the album. When you consider that 1) Most bands will record 15 to 25 songs to see which 8-12 sound the best recorded, and 2) A lot of professional drummers will take up to a week to record an album, and 3) The fact that it was her very first album, it's astounding, really. If I weren't 50 years old I'd admit to having a huge crush on her. But that would be creepy. So I won't.
