I was at this concert, exact city and everything. Seeing her, sing in front of me at almost the same view as the guy with the camera was the best experience of my entire life.
You know Cook fans don't attack me, but I had always pictured the last 2 standing would be Carly and Archie!! I was heartbroken when she was voted off, I threw a fit, lol. But yea this is my fav song by Evenascence, done by one of my fav singers of all time!! Thanks for sharing with us! Carly is badass!! I love her
@Raines45 while i agree with you for the most part actually Ben Moody owns the rights to this song and a few others along with Amy off of the Fallen album from Evanescence. he can perform and record the songs whenever and however he wants
yes it was very aggravating. i am so happy just to have seen her live but i did everything to go to that concert and i only wanted to meet her. but thats fine. i was just so glad to see my hero live. the best experience of my life. so you went in fresno? cool cool who was ur fav?
Hey keith urban concert in July for the my very first concert so what kind of things I could take in as video or camera? If anybody could tell me thank
In her defence i have to say her voice is actually truelly amazing, its so strong and her range is rather beautiful, we have to remember that this is just a cover. of course i dont like this as much as the original, i think Amy is sooo amazing and no one can ever sound like her but thats because Amy is unique, Carly is just rockin out to a song that she loves like us. we cant deny the fact that she is obviously a 'rocker' (i hate to use that word) too. :) happy tree hunting lol
@jehbonilda fyou cant say she did a better job live cause she only sang ONE song which is this one and Amy sings a lot of songs back to back and Amy moves around to get the crowd goin while carly stood in one spot the whole time
If you can't hear it in her voice then you just have a different preference...because her voice is amazing...and you can't say the fault lies on intonation...because her pitch is near perfect!!! :P
Sheesh people, give the lady some encouragement! She's talented and she's not trying to be Amy Lee, she's not trying to take over Amy Lee's life, and you all bitching about it is just pathetic.
@tomboy4life100 you do know that the only reason Carly is singing this, and other, evanescence songs is because Ben Moody owns the rights to them (because he co wrote them) so thats why shes singing them. She does good, but the original is better. i'll agree. though we are the fallen has several very original songs. Also, she isn't trying to sound like Amy, thats just the way she sings, thats what the band mates wanted in a lead singer, Someone who sounds like Amy without the crappy attitude.
Fact of the matter is. Any of you show me a band who HASN'T done a cover song, and I'll show you a pig that shit's gold bricks. And for the record, they have to gain permission from the original band of said song to be able to sing it. That's what a copyright is for. So OBVIOUSLY Amy said yes. And obviously both bands are feeding off each other for more fame and glory. Welcome to showbiz. Besides, both bands are great anyways and I think they should do something together.
that's because carly stands still and does nothing on stage. amy runs around the stage and headbangs and jumps up and down like a rabbit. that's why she doesnt sound her best live sometimes, but I still think her voice is amazing! XD
I do feel a little uncomfortable with her doing Amy's song because I do think she's a little bit evan wannabe but I think she performed here much better than on idol because she has the chance to be herself, which is cool.
I love her own music, but to avoid negative comments she REALLY shouldn't even ATTEMPT Amy's music. NO ONE can do Evanescence like Amy can. Carly may have talent, but she doesn't compare to Amy. At all. Though her OWN music is amazing.
You do realize that the former founding members of Evanesence have started a new band and she is the lead singer. She sounds almost identical to Amy Lee. Although I will agree that in this particular clip, she sounds pretty bad. P.S. A good portion of "Amy's music" was written by Ben Moody.
Loved her Idols Live set list....unfortunately both Carly and David Cook were way over amplified, at least at the venue I attended, and it detracted from her vocals. Carly is something special.
@tomboy4life100 :D you aren´t very smart...this isn´t about singer this is about whole band they have the right to play the song which they were helping to create....and she has beautiful voice too but different from amy´s they are both excellent singers... don´t judge if you don´t know anything about music
@amylee202002 dude Ben Moody and Amy Lee wrote this song. to say Amy Lee and Evanescence are the only ones who should be able to do this song is stupid and naive... Ben Moody still has rights to the song and should be able to perform it when and how he wants... hell he has every right to sell it to Disney if they wanted to buy it... the creativity was Ben's originally
I can't believe that this band is using Evanescence songs. This is a song that Ben and my wrote together and is an "Evanescence" song not a "We are the Fallen Song" I would think that legally only Evanescence can perform their song and Ben can still have royalties from it, but he shouldn't use it for this new project. I like Carly, but I don't think it's fair that she is singing these songs.
Oh over your hate...everyone only comes down on her because the girl has unbelievable vocal skills!!! They are scared! It's just a cover.... I love Evanescence to, and no I do not think this is as good as the original but she far from ruined it!! Evanescence is hard to cover and Carly is the only one who could succesfully do it !!
2:23 wat the hell was that? dancing? 2:25 was that yell supposed to add soul to the song? failure she could have made it if she tried something of her own. but The Fallen? no thanks lol not only is their name taken from Evanescence first album but their first song= Bury Me Alive Bring Me to Life ? notice any similarities?!?!?!
Sorry but I think Carly was better than Amy. Just my opinion. And I was there in Fresno for that concert. I stayed a little while and met Kristy Lee Cook, even thought the only one I went to the concert for was Carly. I later found out that Carly was on the other side of the building. Bummer.
I liked her in AI, but after listening to this I am really doubting it. I just hope this new Fallen thing doesn't try to make her into a new Amy Lee, cause in that case she is F&$%#ng LOST! NO ONE like Amy Lee!!! BIG Evanescence fan, got absolutely all their songs including demos!!! If she comes with a new idea I might be willing to listen, but if she tries something like this no way Evanescence fans will support Fallen!
Intregrantes de Evanescence cometiern l peor error dl mundo,c van a arrepentir pra tda la vida al habr cmbiado a Amy Lee + aun x elegirle a Carly Smithson,canta bn pro ls temas d Amy Lee slo a eya le sale sinceramnt s la mjor por lo cual la AMO,la voy a seguir AMANDO TODA LA VIDA.xq eya s mi VIDA fijnse n l video AMY LEE VS CARLY SMITHSON Y NOTARAN LA GRAN Y CRUDA REALIDAD.x DIOS,Amy Lee ya q s pianista y tiene la voz mas hrmosa dl mundo c q puede surgir y yegar lejos sola,xD;
kelly is good, no doubt but she is not the best !! she could not sing this song, and do it any justice - Carly can and did that's my opinion. Agree or not makes no difference she Rock's
Ok this is video #2 and she still does not sound good to me. I'll keep trying...or maybe she should keep trying...either way it goes, i wanna see why people like this woman. I already know why some hate her...but where is the love?
i seriously hate her, first singing Amy's music. then she forms a band with the ex-evanescence members called "The Fallen"(wow very original considering ev's first CD was fallen) i havent even heard the new music and i already know im going to hate "The Fallen"
this pisses me off. she is like a generic version of amy lee and the name "Fallen" do they expect people not to notice the difference? i might have actually listened to their music if they didn't change her looks to make her a carbon copy of amy very disappointing. sell outs.
This is so amazing, love her doing it. Carly truly feels everything like Amy. GO GIRL!
I was at this concert, exact city and everything. Seeing her, sing in front of me at almost the same view as the guy with the camera was the best experience of my entire life.
I love Carly voice. It’s so good. We Are the Fallen is great band.
Now that was a megastar performance!
best of the season!
Amazing!
Cool entrence. And lovely song
This is my fav Evenesance song!!!!!!
I love her
You know Cook fans don't attack me, but I had always pictured the last 2 standing would be Carly and Archie!! I was heartbroken when she was voted off, I threw a fit, lol. But yea this is my fav song by Evenascence, done by one of my fav singers of all time!! Thanks for sharing with us! Carly is badass!! I love her
ooooh i got goose bumps from that lol :D
omg, she killed it :O
I wish I could too! I got to see them in Tulsa, OK
wow! ur amazing
Sweet Jesus! That was one hell of a performance. It's travesty she didn't even make top 3. This girl is a star.
@Raines45 while i agree with you for the most part actually Ben Moody owns the rights to this song and a few others along with Amy off of the Fallen album from Evanescence. he can perform and record the songs whenever and however he wants
yes it was very aggravating. i am so happy just to have seen her live but i did everything to go to that concert and i only wanted to meet her. but thats fine. i was just so glad to see my hero live. the best experience of my life. so you went in fresno? cool cool who was ur fav?
Amy rules!!!!
Hey keith urban concert in July for the my very first concert so what kind of things I could take in as video or camera? If anybody could tell me thank
H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E
In her defence i have to say her voice is actually truelly amazing, its so strong and her range is rather beautiful, we have to remember that this is just a cover. of course i dont like this as much as the original, i think Amy is sooo amazing and no one can ever sound like her but thats because Amy is unique, Carly is just rockin out to a song that she loves like us. we cant deny the fact that she is obviously a 'rocker' (i hate to use that word) too. :) happy tree hunting lol
and yet, people talk stuff without knowing... this recording is BEFORE We are the fallen, date in the video: July 3, 2008
@jehbonilda fyou cant say she did a better job live cause she only sang ONE song which is this one and Amy sings a lot of songs back to back and Amy moves around to get the crowd goin while carly stood in one spot the whole time
@tomboy4life100 I know right!!!!!
I vote for a Carly Smithson/David Cook and or Michael Johns duet with this song...
If you can't hear it in her voice then you just have a different preference...because her voice is amazing...and you can't say the fault lies on intonation...because her pitch is near perfect!!! :P
Sheesh people, give the lady some encouragement! She's talented and she's not trying to be Amy Lee, she's not trying to take over Amy Lee's life, and you all bitching about it is just pathetic.
amazing better then original!!!
Esta piba puede cantar. This girl can really sing, you haters!! Get a life!
so would i lol
@tomboy4life100 you do know that the only reason Carly is singing this, and other, evanescence songs is because Ben Moody owns the rights to them (because he co wrote them) so thats why shes singing them.

Also, she isn't trying to sound like Amy, thats just the way she sings, thats what the band mates wanted in a lead singer, Someone who sounds like Amy without the crappy attitude.
beat that allison.
carly isnt getting enough credit for her amazing vocals.
Carly is a freakin' thousand times better, period. Ever heard Amy hit a right note ever since the open door came out? Don' t think so.
She is great... but it just that that song fits Amy perfectly
this is gonna be the new voice of evanescence? looking foward to 2012 so we all die
Fact of the matter is. Any of you show me a band who HASN'T done a cover song, and I'll show you a pig that shit's gold bricks. And for the record, they have to gain permission from the original band of said song to be able to sing it. That's what a copyright is for. So OBVIOUSLY Amy said yes. And obviously both bands are feeding off each other for more fame and glory. Welcome to showbiz. Besides, both bands are great anyways and I think they should do something together.
yea i know =(
The song doesn't suit her, but she did an amazing job really!
that's because carly stands still and does nothing on stage. amy runs around the stage and headbangs and jumps up and down like a rabbit. that's why she doesnt sound her best live sometimes, but I still think her voice is amazing! XD
I disagree. This will be a match made in heaven! Perfect choice - you wait and see!!!
What about copyright?
I do feel a little uncomfortable with her doing Amy's song because I do think she's a little bit evan wannabe but I think she performed here much better than on idol because she has the chance to be herself, which is cool.

Hmm...not too bad. I'm sad Amy Lee left but I'm excited to see what "The Fallen" comes out with.
@tomboy4life100 :D you aren´t very smart...this isn´t about singer this is about whole band they have the right to play the song which they were helping to create....and she has beautiful voice too but different from amy´s they are both excellent singers... don´t judge if you don´t know anything about music
wow that totally sucks. i wouldnt want to miss everyone. at least you got to go and meet everyone. were the davids really nice?
@amylee202002 dude Ben Moody and Amy Lee wrote this song. to say Amy Lee and Evanescence are the only ones who should be able to do this song is stupid and naive...

I like Carly, but I don't think it's fair that she is singing these songs.
Perhaps the need to leave childish, hateful rants in RUclips comment areas?
mientras siga cantando temas que canto amy lee, las comparaciones seguirán. Que se dedique a escribir temas nuevos o que contrate un letrista.
Oh over your hate...everyone only comes down on her because the girl has unbelievable vocal skills!!! They are scared! It's just a cover.... I love Evanescence to, and no I do not think this is as good as the original but she far from ruined it!! Evanescence is hard to cover and Carly is the only one who could succesfully do it !!
2:23 wat the hell was that? dancing?
2:25 was that yell supposed to add soul to the song? failure
she could have made it if she tried something of her own. but The Fallen? no thanks lol
not only is their name taken from Evanescence first album but their first song=
Bury Me Alive
Bring Me to Life
?
notice any similarities?!?!?!
why the hell is she singing amy lee's song?!?!
Ben Moody did know better, he got away from Amy Lee as fast a possible and found a great singer that shares his vision.
We Are The Fakes
or Fucks whichever you perfer
Sorry but I think Carly was better than Amy. Just my opinion. And I was there in Fresno for that concert. I stayed a little while and met Kristy Lee Cook, even thought the only one I went to the concert for was Carly. I later found out that Carly was on the other side of the building. Bummer.
It's a matter of opinion.
I think Amy sang it better.
But, yes, Carly does rock.
:)
She sang that way better than Amy Lee
i hope this is the type of music she makes...
it feels as though she's trying to become amy lee
@jehbonilda Not true at all!!
I liked her in AI, but after listening to this I am really doubting it. I just hope this new Fallen thing doesn't try to make her into a new Amy Lee, cause in that case she is F&$%#ng LOST! NO ONE like Amy Lee!!! BIG Evanescence fan, got absolutely all their songs including demos!!!
If she comes with a new idea I might be willing to listen, but if she tries something like this no way Evanescence fans will support Fallen!
Amy Lee sang it better.
It's a song that can only be truly done by her.
Still Carly does a pretty good cover.
She was trying to make it pop music.
Well, I saw Amy perform My Immortal live and was still...She is not a strong live performer!
excuse me. get over what ?
get over it!

Amy is so much better than Carly ever will be. I think she should come up with her own songs instead of trying to sound like Amy.
u should write ur own songs that fit ur voice better..
kelly is good, no doubt but she is not the best !! she could not sing this song, and do it any justice - Carly can and did that's my opinion. Agree or not makes no difference she Rock's
pffft.
Yea she's good, but Amy Lee is obviously better! The songs change when Amy Lee sings.. Amy Lee 4e
Amy is way better.
What's rong with you guys? Sheesh. Bands CAN do covers you know. Evanescence did it, but WATF can't? Yeesh.
she sounds nothing like amy
I have to disagree. Have you heard Amy live? Not that great, she tries to hard and just doesn't sound great live. Carly's got her.
Ok this is video #2 and she still does not sound good to me. I'll keep trying...or maybe she should keep trying...either way it goes, i wanna see why people like this woman. I already know why some hate her...but where is the love?
this is too pop.... :_(
i seriously hate her, first singing Amy's music. then she forms a band with the ex-evanescence members called "The Fallen"(wow very original considering ev's first CD was fallen) i havent even heard the new music and i already know im going to hate "The Fallen"
this pisses me off.
she is like a generic version of amy lee
and the name "Fallen"
do they expect people not to notice the difference?
i might have actually listened to their music if they didn't change her looks to make her a carbon copy of amy
very disappointing.
sell outs.
you sing really good, but guess what!!! you`re NOT Amy!!!!!!!!!
bleh.. Carly's cover of Goind Under was rather horrible.. she's very bad at the low notes.
lol she is worse than avril?? avril sucks!! carly has a nice voice anyway.
her movements are soo annoying
And she was awful its like
shes a wanna be.... amy is better
just dreadful
