Does the girl from Evanesence have the best female voice?

[ThePresence]

Damn, she can sing! My Immortal gives me chills every time.

 

[HOWITIS]

what is an Evanesence?

 

[BaboonGuy]

I'll take Sarah McLachlan over her.

 

[Zorba]

I like Stevie Knicks (sp?) myself, at least on Rumors, heard she lost her voice, though

for a rock singer, she is unusually talented, compared to her modern/pop rock peers like gwen stefani, and that girl from that one ska band.

 

[KEV1N]

From what I've heard on the radio, it's a little too dramatic. I would say "no"

 

[RagingBITCH]

This is a pretty recent thread about this exact topic

 

[Ryan]

Mariah carey has a better voice then she does, although her choice of material to sing really holds her back. She has sung some really beautiful songs, though they've never been released as a single.

Oh well. Thanks I guess?

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

No, and REPOST

 

[Martin]

Hardly.

But now that you've found out you like this type of music, its time to move on to the good stuff: Nightwish.

Seriously, Evanescence to Nightwish is like...The National Enquirer to The Economist.

Holy crap. She is good!!!! Only one song on the iTunes store, but I'm impressed.

I am a big fan of how her voice sounds in my immortal. It is not operatic and almost seems harsh at first (at least to me) but after listening to her cd a few times it really has grown on me.

I could not even begin to understand why people would think she has the best female voice. To me it sounds too strained and forced; somewhat unnatural.

The best female vocalist I can think of is Sarah Brightman, but then again she is just so far above and beyond most vocalists Sarah Brightman is in a whole different realm.

That is a really strong accent, it will take some getting used to.

Sarah Brightman is a soprano. We're talking about regualr music here, not opera. Sarah Brightman does have an awesome voice, but it's really high pitched.

Well, they are finnish, so english is a second language for them.

Which song do they have on iTunes?

For me, it was Stargazers that got me hooked, but Fantasmic, Elvenpath and Nymphomaniac Fantasia are my favs.

 

[Martin]

another two very good ones are She Is My Sin and Kinslayer

That's a good one, but not a good representation of their overall style. If you wanna sample by downloading, get at least Fantasmic....personally that songs always blow me away

LOL, "regular music". Most people here think "opera" is a browser; let's get some more exposure for "classical" music. For the record, I never heard of Sarah Brightman, but then I'm not a huge opera fan (chamber music for me).

Okay, okay. Opera is not mainstream, hence popular music = regular. At least that's what I meant.
