This song means alot to me, it gotta be sing with passion and feelings. Lacey sang it with full of her heart because of the life changing experience she and her band had in Africa
I had the chance to meet Kristen and hear a live acoustic session here in Las Vegas today, and the feeling she puts into this song is beautiful. For those of you who want to hate... she didn't make Lacey leave... she left the band all on her own... get over it. She is doing the best she can, and I think it is awesome.
wow!!!!!!! I didnt know what to expect..Kristen's voice is so beautiful and powerful..yes Lacey is amazing too..but both different and wonderfully talented amazing women!!!! Cant wait to hear more from Flyleaf and Kristen!!!!
Kristen is ridiculously talented and no one could match Lacey's passion for something she wrote herself. I think Kristen works well with the band and I'm excited to see them Saturday :)
I fully agree with Scott. I saw her sing live at LifeLight and her voice is unique and if people want to hear Lacey, they should listen to Lacey, but I really like what Kristin brings to the band. I can tell she has a background in theater and many other forms of music. She is very talented and pleasant and interesting to listen to.
I love how people are like "She made it her own". Like it's a good thing. Truthfully, it just sounds like a decent cover. She is by no means a bad singer, she's just not Lacey.
I understand people's attachment to Lacey. Flyleaf with Lacey was one of the first concerts I ever went to and it was the first thing that made me cry because of the beauty rather than the pain. I was/am a huge fan. Kristen is not Lacey, and that isn't a bad thing. She is amazing in her own right. For a lot of stuff, I like her better. I think it's just nostalgia and the discomfort of change that people don't like. I really do love them both.
I just started getting into this band a few weeks ago. Both singers are extremely talented. I didn't have a long lasting attachment with Lacey being the singer like most people did. However, I love her voice and my favorite song with her as the singer would have to be So I Thought. In regards to the new singer, Kristen, I love her voice too. Both are a little different but I really enjoy their new music. This is an amazing performance by Kristen.
You know I don't hate this new singer. She has a solid voice with solid range. I just stopped listening because I couldn't get into the thought of a new singer. But it's very weird hearing Kristen song this song because it isn't hers. Broken Wings was Lacey's anthem. She does a well enough job, it's just this song was Lacey's anthem. This song was just made for her voice.
It's different because no matter who the bass player or drummer is the sound of the instrument doesn't change. But a voice, especially like Lacey's, cannot be replaced. Each voice is unique and the sound does change. I do agree that you should love the whole band and it's sad when a member leaves but you just can't replace a singer.
Lacey your voice was 1 in a BILLION..... Flyleaf it WAS one of my #1 bands in High School... i used to have that song as my MySpace back round... its amazing....
Everyone misses Lacey but Kristen is doing an amazing job and she is making it her own, everyone style is different and Lacey was the one encouraging her so less hate more love, that's what Flyleaf is about anyhow! Kristen keep up the good work you and the guys are amazing!
Thank you for being such a friend to me Oh I pray a friend for life, And have I ever told you how much you mean to me? Oh you're everything to me Thinking all the time how to tell you what I feel, Contemplating phrases I'm gazing at eternity, I am floating in serenity And I am so lost for words And I am so overwhelmed Please don't leave just yet Can you stay a moment please We can dance together We can dance forever Under your stars tonight We'll live and breathe this dream So close your eyes, but don't dream too deep And please pass me some memories And when I fall you're underneath A thousand broken hearts, carried by a thousand broken wings
I like so much her voice but nothing like lacey :( dont want this girl in flyleaf but well she will be great in another band if she wants, come back lacey :(
The old flyleaf songs just don't compliment her voice, simply because she's not the one who wrote it, she didn't put her emotions into it. She's not Lacey, but she has a nice voice. The new music will compliment her voice better and include her own emotion.
I honestly don't know how anyone can be dissing this at all. She's not Lacey and doesn't have to be.This is totally amazing and I love it. I wish people would quit comparing her to Lacey. Lacey left Flyleaf for her own reasons-DEAL WITH IT!!!!
Lacey is singing now for Christian conferences, she leads worship at some the whosoevers conference, a ministry she started with ryan ries and sonny from POD
The new singer sounds like pop. Dont get me wrong but I love lacey so much and you cant blame the fans of flyleaf that they got dissapointed for the new vocalist. I never felt this to Nightwish when they actually change for almost 3 lead vocals. And thats fine with me., maybe Laceys voice was just so hypnotizing and people will never get used listening to kristen or kristy or whatever I dont know her name.. she sounds pretty much like hailey from paramore. (Its just my opinion guys pls dont hate me 😔) Im still sticking to laceys songs but maybe I will give this a try. 😌
.Ok I have to say this Lindsey isn't a bad singer. But what made Lacey so great was that when she opened her mouth to sing I could feel every fiber of her being coming through her voice. After hearing this I know why New Horizons maybe my last flyleaf album. Lacey didn't just sing, music was her outlet. No disrespect to the other band members but someone who can simply cover the song can't replace that.
Kristen is amazing and her voice is really different than Lacey's, but she deserves more than these hateful comments about how she can't 'sing' Flyleaf songs. They obviously chose her for a reason, and I personally like her voice. Just in a different sense than I did Lacey's.
We all miss Lacey, being the unique singer of the band & being replaced is hard to deal with when Lacey/flyleaf told their stories through their music..everyone song has a story behind it.
You know who would have been a great new singer for Flyleaf? Eowyn! She was in a Christian alternative metal band just like Lacey, and her voice has that same unique rigidness to it. Their lyrics are just as deep as Flyleaf's, too :)
I think if the new singer focused on what she could give I think she could give us something just as special, her talent is wasted on something she cannot replicate.
Once Kristen starts singing and writing her own songs I'm sure things will be different. But as of right now she is only covering Lacey's songs. And when Lacey sang she sang with so much passion and emotion because she was telling a story, Kristin sounds like she is just singing.
As a fan of her stuff from the Vedera days, and a long time fan of Flyleaf, I wholly appreciate both of you not just trash-talking Kristen. She's a hell of a singer, but I can agree with what you both say. I think she needs to just let the music lead her instead of over-thinking it too much. But given that some of these songs are YEARS old with the band and its original front-runner, filling Lacey's role has to be intimidating. I can't wait for the chance to hear them live in person.
Not saying she's a horrible singer but I'll always love Lacey's voice! When Lacey sang her voice always gave me the chills in a good and emotional way! I don't really feel anything when Kristen sings. Maybe I'll grow to like her but who knows!
She's not a bad singer guys. Her voice just doesn't really fit in with the song. Her voice is a bit more (not meant to be offensive) child-like in a good way, and in my opinion is meant for more supportive, happy songs and not so much for serious, meaningful songs like Broken Wings. Lacey's was awesome for this song; I just adored her haunting voice that will forever be burned into my head. Lacey is so missed. :)
Yeah, but some of Lacey's songs she's alright at. No one could ever beat Lacey though. Anyways, I like Kristen's song Something Better. She's amazing at that song.
I love the new singer, I think she makes amazing music. But I wish she never covered this song. This song is a special thing Lacey shared with us, on a personal level.
i hate the fact that lacey its not longer in flyleaf, and trully no one will ever be able to replace her, EVER!, but kristen has a beautiful voice and i will never talk shit about her, she decerves some respect
I respect Lacey's decision, it just kills me that I won't be able to hear her acoustic sessions for this album. This album has become one of my favorites. Kristen isn't a bad singer, she's respectable, but her voice isn't pulling me in like Lacey's does. Oh well.
I agree with you so much. The new girl isn't bad its just weird looking up Flyleaf and seeing this new person. A new name would be so much better. Especially if someone hasn't listened to them in a while and they go to search for them.. and Lacey not being in the band anymore would be disappointing. (exactly what just happened to me.) I thought it was someone covering one of their songs on a different video.
I feel like this is the ONE Flyleaf song Kristen just should not touch. Out of respect for how much it means. Besides that, I just do not hear any emotional tie to it on her part in her voice, which really ruins the whole performance for me and she's struggling to hit a lot of the notes. Not to sound negative, I just really think this is exclusively a Lacey song.
than*, and that's your opinion! Do you know how much courage it takes to stand in front of a public that is judging her severely? Do you know what is to just be in a stage? People have a different talents at different levels. Of course you may not know that cause She is just beginning!
all the musicians of this band look so sad for Lacey's decission... but, they need of all our support... it's tru that Kristen wont reach Lecey's quality, but they are doing their best!
She's beginning to grow on me. Her voice is powerful. Maybe a little princessy.. But she can sing. I'll always miss Lacey, and flyleaf will be very, very different without her. It's all very bittersweet. But hopefully, the songs will remain as powerful along with the messages behind them.
I agree with you! I think she has a beautiful voice, but I do feel that she worries too much about how she sounds instead of feeling the music. It's the vibe I get from her singing that makes me feel this way. God bless her though!
Granted, she isn't Lacey and she does have HUGE shoes to fill BUT her voice is truly amazing and it'll probably take some getting used to. Once they make a new album with some songs tailored to Kristen's voice, everything will be legit.
To Scott and Mathew Ryan ofcourse were gonna compare her voice to laceys when she sings songs that lacey has sung in the past! I agree that she's a good singer and should be herself without trying to be a "new lacey" as they sound completely different, but come on! The older flyleaf songs were written with lacey's voice in mind and because of that fact no Kristen will never be able to perform them as well as lacey, when they release new music written for Kristens voice things will be better but until then it's only natural that fans of the band and of lacey would make comparison.
I think the reason why Kirsten sounds so rehearsed is the fact that she is Lacey's replacement and as so she may have to try and sound similar to Lacey. I think she may be feeling it but maybe it's a lot of pressure taking songs that people are use to and trying to do as good as the original. She has the vocal talent but people are use to Lacey's high pitched voice and her trills.
You can definitely tell she is actually singing and there isn't any behind the scenes bullshit behind her voice, which is good. I'd rather a singer not be perfect than have someone make their voice sound better than it is. She does have a great voice. A TAD pitchy at times, but overall very good. I still think Lacey is a better singer. Not because she was first. I truly think that she is a better singer. Kristen is a good replacement though. They'll do well with her.
Kristin has a great voice! She doesn't sing Lacey's songs like she used to but it still sounds great. Sad to see Lacey go. I feel like her testimony is what made her so amazing to me but I feel like Kristin could be great as well.
Lacey is not Flyleaf...Flyleaf is a band...Lacey is a great singer, solo or with a band. People need to stop saying this, because they rest of the band puts forth as much effort as a singer, whoever and however unique. Thus, correctly stated, this is new Flyleaf, with Lacey is original Flyleaf. Another example is ACDC was still good with a new singer and they didn't have to change their name.
This song means alot to me, it gotta be sing with passion and feelings. Lacey sang it with full of her heart because of the life changing experience she and her band had in Africa
I love her voice… the sweetest and at the same time energic
Love the way she does it
I miss Flyeaf so much!! Be with Kristen or Lacey, Flyleaf is Flyleaf.
I had the chance to meet Kristen and hear a live acoustic session here in Las Vegas today, and the feeling she puts into this song is beautiful. For those of you who want to hate... she didn't make Lacey leave... she left the band all on her own... get over it. She is doing the best she can, and I think it is awesome.
wow!!!!!!! I didnt know what to expect..Kristen's voice is so beautiful and powerful..yes Lacey is amazing too..but both different and wonderfully talented amazing women!!!! Cant wait to hear more from Flyleaf and Kristen!!!!
I never thought I would betray Lacey like this .... but this is a way better voice cover than the original
Amazing Kristen
I love her voice, I think she may have used a little too much vibrato but that is just my opinion. AMAZING, WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL voice!
May The Lord bless her with her talents
Kristen is ridiculously talented and no one could match Lacey's passion for something she wrote herself. I think Kristen works well with the band and I'm excited to see them Saturday :)
I fully agree with Scott. I saw her sing live at LifeLight and her voice is unique and if people want to hear Lacey, they should listen to Lacey, but I really like what Kristin brings to the band.

Jeez her voice..! She's pretty amazing!
Yessss
I love how people are like "She made it her own". Like it's a good thing. Truthfully, it just sounds like a decent cover. She is by no means a bad singer, she's just not Lacey.
Guys, most bands that lose lead singers break off. Just be glad they're still around.
I understand people's attachment to Lacey. Flyleaf with Lacey was one of the first concerts I ever went to and it was the first thing that made me cry because of the beauty rather than the pain. I was/am a huge fan. Kristen is not Lacey, and that isn't a bad thing. She is amazing in her own right. For a lot of stuff, I like her better.

Lacey your voice was 1 in a BILLION..... Flyleaf it WAS one of my #1 bands in High School... i used to have that song as my MySpace back round... its amazing....
Great video. I had to catch on. This is the first time I really heard kristen sing.
She killed it!
Everyone misses Lacey but Kristen is doing an amazing job and she is making it her own, everyone style is different and Lacey was the one encouraging her so less hate more love, that's what Flyleaf is about anyhow! Kristen keep up the good work you and the guys are amazing!
That's awesome! I really hope she does!
Thank you for being such a friend to me
Oh I pray a friend for life,
And have I ever told you how much you mean to me?
Oh you're everything to me
Thinking all the time how to tell you what I feel,
Contemplating phrases I'm gazing at eternity,
I am floating in serenity
And I am so lost for words
And I am so overwhelmed
Please don't leave just yet
Can you stay a moment please
We can dance together
We can dance forever
Under your stars tonight
We'll live and breathe this dream
So close your eyes, but don't dream too deep
And please pass me some memories
And when I fall you're underneath
A thousand broken hearts, carried by a thousand broken wings
nobody can replace Lacey ofc , because she is the best , but i will keep supporting flyleaf for sure because of their great writing skills
love it! Good job kim and sameer!
yeah heard that she's gonna be working on a solo album and try to release it when her book comes out with it. I'm very excited :)
All you Kristen haters need to learn what GOOD music is. Check out Vedera "The Weight of an Empty Room" for starters.
ooommggggg so good!
I like so much her voice but nothing like lacey :( dont want this girl in flyleaf but well she will be great in another band if she wants, come back lacey :(
The old flyleaf songs just don't compliment her voice, simply because she's not the one who wrote it, she didn't put her emotions into it. She's not Lacey, but she has a nice voice. The new music will compliment her voice better and include her own emotion.

this girl has a beautiful voice..... and i felt the conection with lacey so much more! and.. i want to thank Lacey for SAVING my life!
She's great! I like her a lot!
Singing Laceys Song is not easy, so give her a chance. She cant sing with all that heart because it´s not her song
Lacey is singing now for Christian conferences, she leads worship at some the whosoevers conference, a ministry she started with ryan ries and sonny from POD
love it, well done guys. The amazing songs are too good to throw away just because a singer decides to leave a band
The new singer sounds like pop. Dont get me wrong but I love lacey so much and you cant blame the fans of flyleaf that they got dissapointed for the new vocalist. I never felt this to Nightwish when they actually change for almost 3 lead vocals. And thats fine with me., maybe Laceys voice was just so hypnotizing and people will never get used listening to kristen or kristy or whatever I dont know her name.. she sounds pretty much like hailey from paramore.

Such a beautiful voice
Beautiful voice

Regardless if she sounds like Lacey or not, she still has an amazing voice on her! Great job Kristen!
We all miss Lacey, being the unique singer of the band & being replaced is hard to deal with when Lacey/flyleaf told their stories through their music..everyone song has a story behind it.
i will say she has a beautiful vibrato.
I just love
You know who would have been a great new singer for Flyleaf? Eowyn! She was in a Christian alternative metal band just like Lacey, and her voice has that same unique rigidness to it. Their lyrics are just as deep as Flyleaf's, too :)
She's a good singer. She doesnt have the flavor the original Flyleaf had, but things evolve.
Beautiful vibrato. That's all. I miss Lacey.
I think if the new singer focused on what she could give I think she could give us something just as special, her talent is wasted on something she cannot replicate.
She sounds good with just a mic so that means she'll sound REALLY good once she gets in the studio. Looking forward to picking up the Who We Are ep.
Once Kristen starts singing and writing her own songs I'm sure things will be different. But as of right now she is only covering Lacey's songs. And when Lacey sang she sang with so much passion and emotion because she was telling a story, Kristin sounds like she is just singing.
I really love her voice! I'm a Lacey fan from the beginning though. I just feel like it's not the same band.

Lex Marie OMG YOU'RE SO FREAKING RIGHT!!!!
shes good guys chill !!!

Yeah, but some of Lacey's songs she's alright at. No one could ever beat Lacey though. Anyways, I like Kristen's song Something Better. She's amazing at that song.
Yep.
I love both of lacey and kristen. Lacey you keep living life and Kristen never give up!
I am so, so sorry... Good singer but I will miss Lacey. Her special way of singing with pure, raw emotion that just sends shivers down my spine.
Feel same
I love the new singer, I think she makes amazing music. But I wish she never covered this song. This song is a special thing Lacey shared with us, on a personal level.
I love this version as much as original.
I miss Lacey so much oh and I'll miss his gorgeous hair
bring back to the stage...lacey....please
Praise God! for Kristen
I think at one point that laughed at her cracked up voice lol they must miss Lacey!
i hate the fact that lacey its not longer in flyleaf, and trully no one will ever be able to replace her, EVER!, but kristen has a beautiful voice and i will never talk shit about her, she decerves some respect
Does anybody know where are the other videos of this session? They seem to have disappeared from RUclips...
I respect Lacey's decision, it just kills me that I won't be able to hear her acoustic sessions for this album. This album has become one of my favorites. Kristen isn't a bad singer, she's respectable, but her voice isn't pulling me in like Lacey's does. Oh well.

Especially if someone hasn't listened to them in a while and they go to search for them.. and Lacey not being in the band anymore would be disappointing. (exactly what just happened to me.) I thought it was someone covering one of their songs on a different video.
Bring her back please
no podemos compararla con Lacey, debemos escuchar el nuevo album por venir para poder opinar... espero que Flyleaf mantenga su estilo
Please, stop complaining! Kristen is special in her own way and the fact that she is not Lacey that isn't a reason to insult her.
I like her voice c:
Shes nailed this. Its perfect
I agree completely.
Right on:)
I feel like this is the ONE Flyleaf song Kristen just should not touch. Out of respect for how much it means. Besides that, I just do not hear any emotional tie to it on her part in her voice, which really ruins the whole performance for me and she's struggling to hit a lot of the notes. Not to sound negative, I just really think this is exclusively a Lacey song.
Good thing nobody gives a fucking SHIT what you think
I disagree completely. This version is so much better
than*, and that's your opinion! Do you know how much courage it takes to stand in front of a public that is judging her severely? Do you know what is to just be in a stage? People have a different talents at different levels. Of course you may not know that cause She is just beginning!

voice of disney
To spend time with her family, as far as I know.
She would be much better being a country artist...miss Lacey!
You can definitely tell she is actually singing and there isn't any behind the scenes bullshit behind her voice, which is good. I'd rather a singer not be perfect than have someone make their voice sound better than it is.
She does have a great voice. A TAD pitchy at times, but overall very good. I still think Lacey is a better singer. Not because she was first. I truly think that she is a better singer. Kristen is a good replacement though. They'll do well with her.
I bet she's Lacey's #1 fan.
I like her voice :) plus she's really pretty. She's no Lacey, but she's her. And that's what matters. I like it!
Kristin has a great voice! She doesn't sing Lacey's songs like she used to but it still sounds great. Sad to see Lacey go. I feel like her testimony is what made her so amazing to me but I feel like Kristin could be great as well.
I agree, I think she can bring something new to the table for the band, I mean I did like Lacey, but I want to hear more from the new singer.
Lacey is not Flyleaf...Flyleaf is a band...Lacey is a great singer, solo or with a band. People need to stop saying this, because they rest of the band puts forth as much effort as a singer, whoever and however unique. Thus, correctly stated, this is new Flyleaf, with Lacey is original Flyleaf. Another example is ACDC was still good with a new singer and they didn't have to change their name.
She's a good singer, but can never compare to Lacey. Lacey's unique in every way.
