Did Alissa bogus as hell not using "Thank You Pain" from The Agonist.

Using Arch Enemy Alissa instead of The Agonist Alissa is simply criminal. She actually utilized her full vocal range in The Agonist. Almost completely did away with clean vocals when she switched to Arch Enemy. But her clean vocals are where she truly shines. The Agonist > Arch Enemy

And thus, this video sent me down a rabbit hole from which I have yet to recover. Thank you, Alberto.

Simone Studio : thats good Live : holy moly

What's the question ❓

Other bands for a part two I'd add are Nemesea, Xandria, Halestorm, Battle Beast, Elysion, The Pretty Reckless, Beyond the Black, Amberian Dawn, Signea, Leaves' Eyes, Spiritbox, We are the Fallen, Jinjer, Anneke Van Giersbergen, Fireflight, Flyleaf, UnSun, Sirenia, Kamelot, Edge of Paradise, Noctura, MoonSun, MaYaN, EdenBridge, The Murder of My Sweet, Cellar Darling.

While some militant Nightwish and Tarja fans and other metal armchair gatekeepers demeaningly say Amy Lee does not deserve to be on this list, I am glad she made it. While Amy does not profess to be a metal singer, what sets Amy apart from many of the vocalists on this list is that she is a complete artist and intense passion for curating all aspects of Evanescence's music from designing her own outfits and makeup, her music videos, to being the primary songwriter of ALL of Evanescence's music and has been writing her own music since she was in her early teens (she wrote songs on Origin like Give Unto Me when she was just 14 and wrote an entire orchestral piece for her graduating high school class). Those saying she isn't metal or rock enough (the average armchair pop fan or Britney / Madonna fan would also counter that she isn't pop enough) only demonstrates her own post-genre individuality, melding metal, pop rock, classical, rock, nu-metal, and alternative influences over melodic song structures. While many singers on here are classically trained vocally, she is a classically trained pianist and even adept on instruments like the harp. Singers like Floor may be a better vocalist technically, but what makes Amy striking is her ability to impart an indellible emotional intensity and authenticity into her music as a songwriter, born from her own unique life experiences, something that cannot be replaced. This is shown especially with her ability to sing over the piano, something she wipes the floor with on this list. Also on piano compositions like Unraveling or drastically unique covers of songs like Amy's version of With or Without You or Cruel Summer by Bananarama. She can go hard on songs like Whisper, Tourniquet, Disappear and Going Under to going soft, vulnerable, and emotional on songs like Hello, My Immortal, Lithium, and Far from Heaven. She is an artist and songwriter, and it is ridiculous to judge all of these women as if they should have perfect technique always like an opera singer when it is their emotional intensity, individual vocal styles and rawness that makes them THEM. If we were judging by vocal technique alone, the average professionally trained opera singer would win over everyone on this list, however one should not hold metal music to opera standards. Nightwish has been able to live on with three different lead vocalists and the squabbles never cease over which one is better or who can sing songs like I Wish I Had an Angel better or that Floor sang Ghost Love Score better etc. Meanwhile, covers of Evanescence hardly ever sound good or sound awful (like Kidz Bop's Bring me to Life) because they lack the authenticity of Amy's instantly recognizable and unique vocal style that she imparts on songs like My Immortal. Former members of Evanescence who wanted to prioritize Evanescence being commercially successful tried to do the same (We are the Fallen) but failed, getting dropped immediately after their first album. Amy showed she didn't need members like Moody to remain successful, with songs like Call Me When You're Sober and Lithium both having 100M+ and almost 200M views respectively. You can't replace Amy Lee as Amy = Evanescence. Evanescence also showed crucially, that women can achieve huge success with female vocals over metal and rock instrumentation (showing women don't need a male vocalist to tag along to be successful) and have a massive impact on popular culture (Bring Me to Life has over a billion views on YT, making Amy one of the youngest songwriters to ever achieve that). You don't have to like Amy or her music, but either way, all of these women deserve our respect for their massive talent, individual styles, and doors they have opened for women instead of ad hominem.

great

Can someone please explain to me how some of these are metal? Fs!

Fantastico Trasuda la competenza!

A little sad with the Cris Scabbia video... I've watched all shows on youtube, saw every song perfomed (on youtube) of Lacuna, and there are sooo many good ones. Trip The Darkness is always a hard one...

Destroys every fake pop vocalist

goddesses of all forms

Reality has met my expectations

Anyone else that wonders what poster wants to say other to point out how amazing they are

Simone is the best ❤❤

Can someone tell me what song this is for Charlotte wessels of delain is? It sounds like a song I know but in a different language

Why show a photo of Nightwish and then show a ReVamp song ?

Real talent will always sound better live.

Realidade ainda mais foda 🤘🏻❤️‍🔥

Courtney Laplante and Adrienne Cowan!!!

nooo, no jinjer?

They sound the same?

If you plan to gather more examples please don't miss Chiara Tricarico, currently singing for Moonlight Haze 🤟❤️

Floor Jansen is unbelivable.

Me looking for a song named Expection 🤔 🤔

Within temptations Sharon david

seeing Floor blonde was an experience

wow they sound absolutely incredible.

Do not like contemporary metal but need to say all those girls are amazing high-level singers. It was nice.

Autotune? What's dat?? Pretty damn good delivery.

Back in 2018/2019, a cousin posted online that her daughter had been thinking of working with a metal band but was leaning away from it "because there aren't really a lot of good hard rock frontwomen." I sent her a list that had most of the women in this video (along with a couple of others mentioned in the comments) and told her that if she really wanted to get into harder rock and actual metal, she might want to do some extra listening for a while. The pandemimonium derailed things for a while, but I think she's now seriously gonna try it...

You all forgot Kittie wtf....

No Lita Ford?

All great live. Tarja Turunen glows onstage.

Are Floor Jansen and Lady Dimitrescu the same person

Author of this vid forgot about Vibeke Stene with her mind blowing My Lost Lenore - Tristania classical academic vocalists are better than all other so far as always Heard Tarja Turunen live..she rings like damn hell.. she seems is best women vocal in whole rock music ever. And we all should confess one thing, when vocalist is tired of hard tour schedule he really sings worse.. but this is tiredness.. not bad vocals

Most of them are classically trained singers. They know how to properly control breath and thus are more than capable of live performances than many others

Some of lives sounded even better than the studio

opera and metal are, to the people outside of the scene, a match made in hell. you can tell most of the women on this list are trained EXTREMELY well and in the male spectrum of this Dio was classically trained in opera and he was a god during his time.

It's beautiful

8:30 wtf is wrong with the crowd?

usually expectation vs reality videos just show a bunch of turds but this is all awesome!

Clickbait lol.. They sound amazing at live... Metal will always have the most amazing voices of all genres You can even find yodeling voices lol

Dang, some of these songs are the first time I'm ever hearing them but they're all really good!

I really fell for it...

Cristina Scabbia. Best voice ever!!! Love Lacuna Coil.

Нужно делать вторую часть с обязательным обзором Джинжир и Спиритбокс.

Check out the chic from Brothers of Metal

"Metal".... pfft
