People very often tend to forget that there's more to an artist than just sounding great. Daughtry took an existing song, put his voice in it, and nothing more. It takes A LOT to make a GOOD song from scratch. It's so easy for people to say "Daughtry's version is better", but the coverer does 5% of the work, and still get ranked above the original artist.
Evanescence is my favorite band and I didn't think anyone could even hope to adequately cover this song but Chris hit it out of the park and tore the leather off the ball! I'm not shocked by this though. Chris Daughtry is by far the best male vocalist in the industry. Not an opinion, straight up fact!
@@jagalasso agree he killed it by ruining it, the vocals are soo pitchy, the wrong key, even if he was making it his own, it should have a 2-octave shift, he is going 1 and cracking his vocals, he missed the growls and didn't hold the pitch. so disappointed by such a great artist
@@dubayyuae8696 exactly... some of the people commenting on this have no idea what they are listening to. I cant blame them though, we live in an autotune pitch correct time now.
As much as I love the Evanessence original, this version has so much raw emotion to it. You can hear the pain in his voice which makes it all hit just that little bit harder. He made a cleaner version of this for his album but this live version will always remain supreme in my opinion as it shows so much passion and makes you almost sympathize and feel sorry for him.
I think his version is way better than Amy's. Chris' version doesn't have a dark spirit like Amy Lee's did. Instead it showed more of the internal struggle that Judas had
Chris daughtry's version of this song still gives me chills. I love seeing singers who sing from the depths of their emotions. His performance made the role more realistic.
Does anyone else like this version better than the Evanescence version? Thumbs up, Like, comment, and post a smile face if you are with me here Ya'll!!
I've been a fan of Daughtry for a long time, and never knew this existed. Chris has a beautiful, unique voice that is amazing to hear. Amazing cover. 🤘 🖤
Astounding performance - never realized that Chris Daughtry's acting skill could match his vocal skill. The Passion - the entire televised event - was gripping. Such a Savior we have... no words to describe my gratitude.
The meaning they put into these random songs is amazing. You can always find biblical meaning in everything... It makes so much sence for him to feel this way after betraying Jesus. Just wow.. ❤
@@MustB3Nic3 Listening to him sing this, along with the mystical or mysterious mood of the song is like listening to two separate personalities singing within one voice. It is odd that you would post because I was thinking of this exact version recently.
@@johnnymac4842 if he does then it will definitely confirm his identity. Would be awesome, but I want to see him play smart. Then again, what do I know? There's already more than enough clues that points to him. Fun fact: he is married with children.
+Francois DuJour Unfortunately, only the songs performed in the "on stage" area were actually live. :( The fact that the scenes from the Jesus and disciple numbers were used in the previews and that during the video for the song Home there's an "earlier" sunset than where Tyler Perry was show this. I love how they used all the songs though. :)
I agree the live versions are better than the studio versions, they're more passionate and raw. I downloaded these live versions as well as the studio versions, I'm good now.
i feel the emotions in daughtry as he is singing this song....not just an amazing performer....He is a true Christian and know the battle we all face every single day.....LOVE YOU CHRIS....may God be with You always xo
Amy is kinda sick of this song though. Because it’s a song that’s she’s expected to do and play live at every show since it first came out. And she’s redone this song quite a few times that she doesn’t feel close to this song anymore even though it’s the song that got her famous.
Chris Daughtry's version is more intense in emotion while Evanescence's is sort of softer, sadder, and bittersweet. Both are excellent. I like Chris Daughtry's better though.
almost every Judas was portrayed as angry and vindictive; however,for those who know the story, they should be asked: WHY DID HE KILL HIMSELF, if he was a? this portrayal clearly shows how torn apart Judas was, if not more so.
+Joey Roberts Agree ... bought the MP3 single of this and Daughtry's other performance, Demons ...and don't think I have ever replayed a songs as much as these two. Never tire of them - they are incredible both quality and meaning.
Not only is this a killer version, it fits the moment exceedingly well as Judas struggles with his schizophrenic self. I love how Daughtry drifts back and forth between the light and the dark in this video.
There are few artists who could deliver a song like Chris Daughtry delivers it. This song, this performance, this moment. They were meant for Chris, and he knew it. I am truly undone. Wrung out. Inspired beyond comprehension. What a force he is.
How can you see into my eyes Like open doors? Leading you down, into my core Where I've become so numb Without a soul My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold Until you find it there, and lead It, back, home Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from the dark Bid my blood to run Before I come undone Save me from the nothing I've become Now that I know what I'm without You can't just leave me Breathe into me and make me real Bring me to life Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from the dark Bid my blood to run Before I come undone Save me from the nothing I've become Frozen inside, without your touch Without your love Only you are the life Among the dead All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me I've been sleeping a thousand years, it seems Got to open my eyes to everything Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul Don't let me die here There must be something more Bring me to life Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from the dark Bid my blood to run Before I come undone Save me from the nothing I've become
Daughtry's performance was awesome - he killed it! "The Passion" performers were all amazing! Loved the contemporary retelling of a classic, it was very moving...
+Valerie Esque Yup, I ordered my CD on Amazon the day after program....the entire soundtrack is amazing, can't wait till it gets here!!! Hopefully tomorrow :( Or like Dylan Curtis said, on iTunes!!
I fucking love when Daughtry does covers. No disrespect to the original song or artist, but it's so refreshing to hear from the vocals of another respected and talented artist.
Chris is amazing!! He really needs to think about getting involved in a Broadway Musical, one that is emotionally fueled and passionate; much like how this Passion Play was. It really blew me away and felt his performance resonate in my heart. I was nearly brought to tears over his part as Judas...
He should really make a new song or album the way he rocked this song. The singing, acting, vocals... Just awesome. So wish he made a song of his like this.
This song works perfectly for the context of the story, because Judas is singing to Jesus in this scene. "Only you are the life among the dead' fit so well, because it's so accurate.
What I love about the passion is how they gave each of the characters more story to tell just by a song ( Example; Demons, With Arms Wide Open ) this song is one of my favorites and has been since I was in elementary school, I'm now going to be a senior in high school and love the song more than before. Now I just have a deeper appreciation for the song, I love Daughtry and aspire to be able to tell a story through song just like he can one day he is very talented.
This is one of the most tremendous portrayals of Judas, in my opinion. Daughtry was brilliant. The Passion is the wisest DVD purchase that I've ever made. xx

Daughtry does NOT get the recognition he deserves!! Listen to his voice!! EPIC!!!
Nowadays, rockstars *never* get the recognition they deserve.
I wish we all heard the duet of Chris and Amy for Bring me to life!
I know what I want for Christmas this year.
Yes!
It was pretty good but would have been better with 12 Stones frontman doin the rap part.
That would be amazing
My ears will not be able to handle that level of epicness
It’s dangerous for me to listen to Chris Daughtry’s covers, most of the time I ended up liking his covers more than the original versions! 🤓😛
People very often tend to forget that there's more to an artist than just sounding great. Daughtry took an existing song, put his voice in it, and nothing more. It takes A LOT to make a GOOD song from scratch. It's so easy for people to say "Daughtry's version is better", but the coverer does 5% of the work, and still get ranked above the original artist.
this is not one amy lee still moves me more
Omg. I was thinking the same thing!
Season 2 of “The Masked Singer” must’ve been dangerous territory
Can't deny that.
Am I the only one that noticed you can tell he really feels everything he sings
You aren't the only one who thinks this. He totally killed this song 💖
Anthony Calloway that’s the spirit of a true singer anyone else are just out for the money
So passionate. That what makes him so good.
This song was done for The Passion: Live
He played Judas, whom betrays Jesus.
As a hardcore fan of evanescence, he just killed it, this is awesome
Evanescence is my favorite band and I didn't think anyone could even hope to adequately cover this song but Chris hit it out of the park and tore the leather off the ball! I'm not shocked by this though. Chris Daughtry is by far the best male vocalist in the industry. Not an opinion, straight up fact!
No he ruined it
@A M not at all... That sucked compared to Evanescence... Totally sucked
@@jagalasso agree he killed it by ruining it, the vocals are soo pitchy, the wrong key, even if he was making it his own, it should have a 2-octave shift, he is going 1 and cracking his vocals, he missed the growls and didn't hold the pitch. so disappointed by such a great artist
@@dubayyuae8696 exactly... some of the people commenting on this have no idea what they are listening to. I cant blame them though, we live in an autotune pitch correct time now.
Amy's version: lost love
Chris version: finding truth
WOW....thats interestin...never thought of it that way
Wow that's interesting never looked at that this way.
Agreed
This performance is from Jesus Christ Superstar....he is singing to God....literally
this cover is judas singing to jesus for betraying him
@@Zephr238 this puts a whole different spin on the character.
Chris played a great Judas and this song just made it that much more special
As much as I love the Evanessence original, this version has so much raw emotion to it. You can hear the pain in his voice which makes it all hit just that little bit harder. He made a cleaner version of this for his album but this live version will always remain supreme in my opinion as it shows so much passion and makes you almost sympathize and feel sorry for him.
I was totally TAKEN when He sung this! It is hard hearing a male voice singing this song but Chris didn't miss a Beat. He was Magnificent!
Jai McDowel does a version that competes with this one in my opinion. This one and that compete for my favorite male version.
I want a Daughtry/Evanescence duet to happen so bad! This is the closest I can get to that, so it makes my heart Happy.
Much better than Amy Lee
@@ashleywyatt9647 I agree with you
And to think, Simon said no.
Tj Benson he said no to Tori Kelly too. Guess what? Lol
So much for "not a lot of charisma"
Be glad he didn't win. I find those who do, don't make it. Only Kelly has
Don't forget about Carrie Underwood.
Yeah worst decision in the history of any of those kinds of shows. It all started when Simon was pissed off that he sang that Creed song.
Even if you don't like the words of the songs, or his "style", you have to admit this man has a powerful voice, very talented.
Very true
Oh my God, this is INCREDIBLE! Chris Daughtry did this song justice!
Now this is how Daughtry's music should sound. Gotta love this rock style! Any cover of any song he does is awesome!
As much as I love all his music, I really miss him doing rock.
I agree, Daughtry is rock, but I love his voice and style so I like anything he sings lol
Juliana Garcia ya well just wait until his fifth album comes our
Out
Yeah, I'm already excited about it.
How Chris covered this song was absolutely amazing. His interpretation was beautiful. Love this version just as much as Amy's version
+kapparhotau181 If you heard Daughtry's version of Demons, originally by Imagine Dragons .. you may find it equally incredible, I know I did.
I think his version is way better than Amy's. Chris' version doesn't have a dark spirit like Amy Lee's did. Instead it showed more of the internal struggle that Judas had
kapparhotau181 totally agree
damn daughtry he covered it brilliantly, i feel so heroic while listening this, i get such an adrenaline rush
Chris Daughtry is such an amazing singer, Jesus his vocals are out of this world-he truly sing from hardcore and lot of emotions.
That high note he hits at 2:27 😍😍
agbeachgirls3 I’ve seen him live many times and he hits it live so much and so well! Gives ya chills!
He perfectly captured Judas' turmoil and inner struggles in this whole performance. Chills! ! !
Allison Johnson couldn't agree more
I agree
Amen
Did you know he was a music worship leader back in NC 2006
Chris daughtry's version of this song still gives me chills. I love seeing singers who sing from the depths of their emotions. His performance made the role more realistic.
Does anyone else like this version better than the Evanescence version? Thumbs up, Like, comment, and post a smile face if you are with me here Ya'll!!
😊😊😊😊
The original was good, but the raw power and passion of Daughtry makes this song just hit different. Deeper. More meaningful.
He did an amazing job... He looks like he is in agony.. This is emotional, and I can't stop watching it
it's 2019 and I still love it
It's nearly 2020 and I'm in love
ahmed salah I wish this had gotten out on dvd!
2022 and will never get old
I've been a fan of Daughtry for a long time, and never knew this existed. Chris has a beautiful, unique voice that is amazing to hear. Amazing cover. 🤘 🖤
Same ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊
how did I never hear this cover till tonight!!!...AMAZING Daughtry...you did evanescence proud
Astounding performance - never realized that Chris Daughtry's acting skill could match his vocal skill. The Passion - the entire televised event - was gripping. Such a Savior we have... no words to describe my gratitude.
+Linda Newton AMEN!!!!!!!
Linda Newton Amen!
It's not real you fucking clown 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is just perfect, God bless you Chris!
+Heisenberg You're Heisenberg...
+Heisenberg lol
I agree 100%, he’s an amazing singer and he nailed the song
He's the one who knocks
Is this even human?
My GOD!!!😍
This man just has one of those voices that keeps you from listening over and over never get enough ❤😊
This scene is so powerful, I can feel the tension and darkness Judas/Daughtry is having in this scene. The guilt and rationale is so powerful!!
I can't get over how amazing he sounds right now. I love his voice in general, but wow.
The meaning they put into these random songs is amazing. You can always find biblical meaning in everything... It makes so much sence for him to feel this way after betraying Jesus. Just wow.. ❤
One of the only singers who could cover this song this well
Initially I ignored the song because of the mellower first half, but I was wrong. The singer has the vocal power to enhance the song.
Tony63909 Chris Daughtry is great.
You must have been new to Daughtry lol.
he can sing any song..any song
@@MustB3Nic3 Listening to him sing this, along with the mystical or mysterious mood of the song is like listening to two separate personalities singing within one voice. It is odd that you would post because I was thinking of this exact version recently.
You must be tone deaf :P There is so much power and raw emotion in his voice its insane!
the crack in his voice at the end adds even more emotion, I love it
Lololol this is the exact voice of The Rottweiler in The Masked Singer 😂😂😂😂😂 it's him 💯
My guts are screaming "Chris Daughtry".
Juliana Wong That voice is unmistakable!
Yup wife and I said the same thing!! Maybe he’ll sing this song!
@@johnnymac4842 if he does then it will definitely confirm his identity. Would be awesome, but I want to see him play smart. Then again, what do I know? There's already more than enough clues that points to him. Fun fact: he is married with children.
Chris never disappoints!!! He's a badass, and his voice is amazing!!! ❣️ 2022
I think the live version is more intense than the studio version. Absolutely amazing. One of the best male vocalist of today.
+Francois DuJour Unfortunately, only the songs performed in the "on stage" area were actually live. :( The fact that the scenes from the Jesus and disciple numbers were used in the previews and that during the video for the song Home there's an "earlier" sunset than where Tyler Perry was show this.

misterTVman where do get the live versions to download
This song and Demons always give me chills when I hear his voice. Such a good cover.
Kat Sensei true. That's one of the best covers of that song that I've ever heard.
That Voice
That Passion
That Talent
Wow!!! Wow!!!
I love everything Chris Daughtry sings. Stopped watching Idol after this season.
i feel the emotions in daughtry as he is singing this song....not just an amazing performer....He is a true Christian and know the battle we all face every single day.....LOVE YOU CHRIS....may God be with You always xo
I am very critical when someone tries to cover an Evanescence song, as I am a die - hard fan. But this totally blew me away.
He made it his own. Not just copying Evanescence/Amy Lee, as many others try to do
Same. I love them too. I also love chris and I wasn’t disappointed in this cover.
He had so much passion when he performed in the special. I like his music.
I came here after The Rottweiler was unmasked on The Masked Singer🐕
Same freaking here
Ha ha, me too.
I'm so mad I didn't recognize that voice!
@@AuthorSquared Seal, who was The Leopard on The Masked Singer, was also on The Passion along with Chris Daughtry as Pontinus Pilate
thanks for mentioning this i am gonna go watch it ♥
Daughtry and Evanescence’ should seriously make an album together that be awesome 👏
Man I got chills. What a cover!
WOW id give ANYTHING but my son to hear a DUO with AMY LEE&Chris together singing this song that'd be incredible
The control Chris has with his voice is amazing so underrated
never pictured a guy singing this but he killed it. amazing play
Chris is one of those artists who can sing someone else's somg better than they could themselfs
He did castle on the hill better than Ed Sheeran I think
@@teganjordan903 I disagree on that one though.
While his version is beautiful and powerful, it's not better than the original.
@@halko1802 I think it is
Fuckin epic cover, Chris and Amy Lee should sing this together.
My thoughts exactly! I was to comment the same thing. Chris and Amy should sing this together!
Chris and Amy?!? The world would not be ready for such epicness. But on the good side, my ears would die from perfect happiness.
Amy is kinda sick of this song though. Because it’s a song that’s she’s expected to do and play live at every show since it first came out. And she’s redone this song quite a few times that she doesn’t feel close to this song anymore even though it’s the song that got her famous.
@@kristinemissy It was written for her husband who then was just a friend
@@mayflowerwolves5444 I knew that
Chris Daughtry's version is more intense in emotion while Evanescence's is sort of softer, sadder, and bittersweet. Both are excellent. I like Chris Daughtry's better though.
He's going to f****** slay whatever he does in the finale on The Masked Singer.
Me too Chris Daughtry all day😁
That and evescence background vocals sounded almost demonic.
Rainbow Wilkes and Chris’ is powerful
Yes, his version is much better.
can't stop watching the video's of this just so much emotion put into every song great job from all the cast
amen!!
almost every Judas was portrayed as angry and vindictive; however,for those who know the story, they should be asked: WHY DID HE KILL HIMSELF, if he was a? this portrayal clearly shows how torn apart Judas was, if not more so.
+Tanner Allen *if he was angry
+Joey Roberts Agree ... bought the MP3 single of this and Daughtry's other performance, Demons ...and don't think I have ever replayed a songs as much as these two. Never tire of them - they are incredible both quality and meaning.
Joey Roberts I think evanescence and daughtry both do good
Chris Daughtry looks like David Draiman's less angrier brother
Dillon Haggett ROFL!
Dillon Haggett ,. I agree!!
Dillon Haggett You beat me to saying it by nine months lol. Then again, I just now heard of this awesome cover of such an awesome song
Honestly, I can get behind this statement
Yes haha
daughtry is awesome. i got to meet his mom, dad, brother, and grandma at one of his concerts. it was awesome.
How am I just now hearing this? Ive been a fan of this man for many years!!!
Same!
Right! Me too!
anything he does is amazing
I'm gonna break the replay button
+KJthegamer23 same here
+KJthegamer23 ditto for me too!!
Some want to be aboused
0:00 there

Daughtry Daughtry Daughtry once you again I fell in love with this cover!!!
He's got enough spiritual voice that bring the truth outta darkness
I fucking love his voice
yes one of the best rock vocalists I've ever heard
Not only is this a killer version, it fits the moment exceedingly well as Judas struggles with his schizophrenic self. I love how Daughtry drifts back and forth between the light and the dark in this video.
Didn't think a cover would come close to the original..... This one does.
Daughtry is criminally underated.
DAUGHTRY IS..... dont even have words. I LOVE HIM. Everything he sings makes it seem like its his song to begin with. I get chills everytime
There are few artists who could deliver a song like Chris Daughtry delivers it. This song, this performance, this moment. They were meant for Chris, and he knew it. I am truly undone. Wrung out. Inspired beyond comprehension. What a force he is.
Best performance in the show
i likes demons
Rian Alexander what show
He is one of a kind. True rock legend
Awesome job Chris Daughtry . Love it.
Daughter has done an AMAZING performance! He made me look at Judas with an open mind, the struggles and agony of betrayal .
Daughtry and one of my all time favourite songs!!!! Pure PERFECTION!
This song still gives me the chills. LOVE IT!!!
How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors?
Leading you down, into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there, and lead
It, back, home
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Frozen inside, without your touch
Without your love
Only you are the life
Among the dead
All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years, it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Daughtry's performance was awesome - he killed it! "The Passion" performers were all amazing! Loved the contemporary retelling of a classic, it was very moving...
One of the best covers I've ever seen, congrats Chris Daughtry
I'm so happy this is the first male cover of Amy lees songs that was actually amazing
Daughter is love, spirituality, and soul.
We ate blessed to hear him. Blessings to you and yours Sir Daughtry,✌❤👼
He absolutely KILLED this!!!! so dope!!
He killed it! He did great. This is my new fav song! Hope the soundtrack comes out soon.
It's out on iTunes
+Valerie Esque Yup, I ordered my CD on Amazon the day after program....the entire soundtrack is amazing, can't wait till it gets here!!! Hopefully tomorrow :( Or like Dylan Curtis said, on iTunes!!
+nytflyt7 I downloaded the songs on Amazon and burned my own CD ... instant gratification :)
I fucking love when Daughtry does covers. No disrespect to the original song or artist, but it's so refreshing to hear from the vocals of another respected and talented artist.
THE GREATEST! He deserves an award for this performance! Perfection.
Chris is amazing!! He really needs to think about getting involved in a Broadway Musical, one that is emotionally fueled and passionate; much like how this Passion Play was. It really blew me away and felt his performance resonate in my heart. I was nearly brought to tears over his part as Judas...
I never thought a modern retelling of Jesus would work like this but it really did!! I was so impressed!!!
Another Powerful Song Chris can really show what a powerful range of voice he has.
His version of this song should've gotten him more cred
I'll never be able to hear any of these songs again without thinking of the show. A-MAZING!
2021 and this is just amazing. Daughtry was so good in the passion. His covers are just as good if not better than the originals.
2023 best as ever ❤❤❤ Chris daughtry
He should really make a new song or album the way he rocked this song. The singing, acting, vocals... Just awesome. So wish he made a song of his like this.
Everyone "here" is you in a different dimension of "this" 🙌💙
This man could sing any song out there and make it sound just as good if not better. Now that's talent!
I hope The Passion will be shown again this year. Fantasic music!
I'll never forget watching this for the first time on the live broadcast....blew me away
This song works perfectly for the context of the story, because Judas is singing to Jesus in this scene. "Only you are the life among the dead' fit so well, because it's so accurate.
What I love about the passion is how they gave each of the characters more story to tell just by a song ( Example; Demons, With Arms Wide Open ) this song is one of my favorites and has been since I was in elementary school, I'm now going to be a senior in high school and love the song more than before. Now I just have a deeper appreciation for the song, I love Daughtry and aspire to be able to tell a story through song just like he can one day he is very talented.
I love this song and Chris Daughtry just made it awesome
This is one of the most tremendous portrayals of Judas, in my opinion. Daughtry was brilliant. The Passion is the wisest DVD purchase that I've ever made. xx
This song is still as great as ever
love his version he did an amazing job as always
No one could have hit this song more spot on.. Thank you so much Chris
This cover so absolutely beautiful
holy wow i had no idea he covered this song till now, thank goodness for playlists that youtube makes for you, this is just amazing!
