Instead of muddying up the other thread, we can discuss Bring Me To Life here. Add your thoughts/opinions and whatever else.

I've already said my thoughts about so no point repeating. Although, now that I have an HQ version on my hand, my opinion is changing. The bridge onward is amazing, the ending with those horns (I'm assuming) sounds incredible. The mixing on the vocals are growing on me, though I wonder if Amy had included the piano on here plus more background vocals, I wonder if those will make the orchestra and Amy blend together much more smoothly...

This version of BMTL is, well, different, obviously hahaha I don't know how I feel about it.

There is something about this that is just weird to me. Maybe it's just messing with my mind how much 14 years can change a lot, but did her voice really deepen that much or is she singing this in a lower key/register? I also feel like she's singing differently too. I can't really describe it.
Either way. Really loving it, just wish the vocals weren't so loud. & I really like the electronic side. I wish there was more of it.

^To me I think the vocals are what really changed my mind on this. I wasn't sure how I felt about what is basically a remix album but I LOVE Amy's deeper vocal register and her skills have increased so much since this song was recorded - it sounds more true to how we've heard this anthemic song live over the years than the OG version did. I do agree that I wish the electronic elements were more prominent but I imagine that'll fit into other songs better.

Unfortunately, I feel as though the comments spoiled the song a bit for me. Not exactly sure why, but as soon as I see a comment in which a negative perspective about a song is expressed, it makes me internalize it. I regrettably read the comments as I was listening to the song in the beginning, a few of which were something along the lines of "I've heard remixes better than this," "this shows that Evanescence is coming to an end," and "the electronics are weak," etc.
It made it a lot less enjoyable for me, but I still think it's pretty good. I love the fashion in which she sings the bridge and the electronics at the beginning are eerie and fantastic. Too bad the vocals aren't mixed too well.
Overall, I think this rendition is pretty good, and I'm sure it will grow on me. But personally, I think it sounds kind of demo-ish, like it's not complete. I'm excited for other material though; I'm kinda tired of BMTL.
EDIT: Why was my post surrounded in HTML code "<abbr>"?

I just listened to the instrumental and wow, it's is gorgeous. I would go so far as to say that it is the best piece of music made by them to date, its stunning!

F*** F*** F*** ILOVETHIS!!!!!! I am actually in love with this. I love how Amy sings her live vocals in places too. Both the electronic sounds and the orchestral sounds are just beautiful. Just everything. My heart...

I like parts of it... I don't like the way the instrumentation is put together in the verses... but maybe it will grow on me.
To answer the question on the deepening vocals, both males and females go through what is essentially a 'second puberty' of sorts, where their voices mature for a final time somewhere in your late-30's / early-40's - and I believe it starts earlier in females.
I thought the vocals were outstanding, and the richer, deeper tone really lends itself well to the dark flavor of Evanescence tracks

I think it's a breath of fresh air to the song we all grew up with. Do I like the Fallen version better...yes. Do I hate it...no. I think it's beautiful that Evanescence is finally able to experiment with new things. I do think that this will be more dynamic as a tour though...so whatever you are feeling about the album...I wouldn't miss one of these shows cause I feel like even if you are on the fence about it..the show will be EPIC live!

No instrumental here either. Also, it's strange that the YouTube video was unlocked region by region and is probably listed as licensed by different companies in different regions. I think the fact that people followed a link to a video they couldn't watch earned it a lot of unlikes.

if they put the synthesis vocals and the fallen instrumentation together, well, that would be awesome
i mean i can mix the multitracks together but it probably would sound like shit
