  • Amy Lee is extraordinary in so many ways. The fact that she can play and sing at the same time, with abundant flair, perfect piano and vocal posture, and not lose an inch of vocal expression is perhaps not a surprise to long-time fans.
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she analyzes Evanescence's live performance of "My Immortal" for the first time.

Far From Heaven from 2021's The Bitter Truth is also heartbreaking; Any wrote it after her struggle with her little brother's death and her struggle with faith

      @@potato_weeb what? That’s way shallow of an interpretation.
      The hallmark of excellence in an artistic singer isn’t limited to pitch; autotune handles pitch, or is used by a producer to achieve “effects.” Neither of those are attractive. (Listen to a Maren Morris live cut for example: she /needs/ the studio- and autotune to maintain pitch and sound LOL)
      Saying that “she doesn’t use autotune” has anything to do with her sounding the same live as in the studio totally misses 95% or more of what provides for her being labeled a great vocalist. You’re posting on a vid from a vocal coach’s channel with absolutely no idea of the elements of singing- or the fortunate genetics that give Amy Lee an excellent natural voice to build or layer the elements over.

      @@fishhuntadventure Exactly. You can have absolutely perfect pitch, but the amount of power, tone, dynamic range, breath control, phrasing... These are all things people who don't understand music completely overlook when they just write things off with "auto-tune", which honestly isn't really used much anymore. Melodyne and manual adjustments are typically the way engineers will correct a take. But even if you hit a note somewhat flat or sharp, correcting it will not fix the tone, power, timbre, etc.

      This song was so early. Its at least 20 years old and this concert 15 years ago. She's married with a kid now. Holding weight but looking good for her 40s. More important she has improved her vocal skills. Synthesis recorded in Germany circa 2018. So much more raw power and higher notes.
      I believe the song was about her music partner and band member Ben Moody ( keyboards?) Who left the band just before Fallen was released and went worldwide. This and 3 other songs were on the Daredevil movie with Ben Aflak & Jeniffer Garner. Movie was considered a flop. Bring me to life and Going Under being the other 2 tracks.
      Like I said check out recent albums. The new one releasing is the bitter truth. Should be on the lookout.

But this song doesn’t challenge her vocally or show off her brilliance as a musician. I think that’s why so many comments are talking about “synthesis” live or other songs.

    3:52 the way she turns to back stage and mouths an expression in response to the roar of the crowd. Can you imagine the sheer power of 1000 people's emotions all connecting on your circuit all at once. That must be both the dream and the pinnacle of demand on a professional singer. To not only deliver a performance, but also (outside of classical maybe) to also be a conduit for the crowds emotions and feedback. I think her express was "Fuc......!!" or "Wow....!!" and she was seeking support with the rest of the crew she comes with back stage.
