We Are the Fallen cover WOWY

[trojanchick99]

You're probably wondering who in the hell are We Are the Fallen. They are the ex members of Evanescence with Carly Smithson (of American Idol) fronting.

I love her voice and think it works.

Here is the link to the video and the article.

Wow, her voice is fascinating!.. thanks for posting this.

Oh, I liked Carly Smithson on Idol. I'll have to check that out!

Carly was eliminated way to early her year.

YouTube - We Are The Fallen - With Or Without You (U2 MASHUP MONDAYS COVER!!!)

I'm a big fan of her voice. I was always mad that she was eliminated so early. Great cover.

 

[corianderstem]

On Idol, I sometimes got the impression that she was trying to hard. Or just wanted it so bad.

I think she's great, but I don't think she "translated" well on that show, you know?

Saw this earlier, and posted in the AI thread. I hadn't seen your thread here. I like her voice.

i have to admit when i saw this post i thought "oh great another lame cover". the minute she opened her mouth, my jaw hit the floor. they did the song justice.

What I like is the famous (or infamous) comment we always hear on AI - they "made it their own". They did the original justice, yet by making the song acoustic, having a female sing it and adding just enough changes to the vocals - combined with the outstanding performance, of course - really made this cover come alive. Like KingofSorrow, I too thought this might be another lame cover, but well done, very well done.

not bad

 

[cruzila]

i enjoy We Are The Fallen and i think this is a great cover

 

[gvox]

She should have done that on the show, it's great.

 

[chelle00]

Very nice cover. Not oversung (is that a word?) as others tend to do.

Has U2 ever granted permission to have their songs used on AI?

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, there have been a few. Adam Lambert did "One" last year, and David Cook did "I Still Haven't Found."

 

[nielsgov]

I like it.

I know exactly what you mean. I don't think she did either. I saw her sing a few months ago. David Cook brought her up on stage to sing "Barracuda" by Heart with his band The Anthemic. It was pretty cool.

One of the best U2 covers I've ever seen, brilliant!

 

[zoocarolina]

BTW, anyone have an mp3 they can share?

 

[dstalksalot]

I love this cover and I love we are the Fallen..I have a feeling they will be huge!

I guess this is okay. It's not an official release.

I liked it but I thought it lacked sex appreal! There is just some about when Bono prenounces the INGs in the song!

 

[zoocarolina]

Thx for the links, very good cover after listening to it again. Disagree with the sex appeal, probably bc I'm a guy bc it's more sexy when a lady friend sings it this well IMO!

That is true! I am a girl so I like the guy! Not that Carly wasn't good!

 

[jag0918]

Does anyone have that fantastic acoustic cover of Running to Stand Still? I have no idea who sang it but midway thru the song the singer almost sounds like Bono..IMO its the best cover of U2 ever

 

[Bonoa]

Sounds great! And she was eliminated???
