Horrible song
Amy Lee sounds like she's dying a horrible death! She's NOTHING compared to Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil. Possibly 3 minutes of the worst rock you will EVER hear! It's so over-rated, it makes me wanna puke. Want a good rock single? Listen to "Swamped" by Lacuna Coil.


Awesome Song!!
I recommend this to all rock fans. This song is so awesome! I love it! And the music video for this is soooooooo good.


Drowning in you, Amy
(Not "My Immortal" as is written in the erroneous editorial review of that song. Going Under is the second single from the Fallen album. ) Going Under is probably the best song on the Fallen album. It is a powerful, provoking song that is more representative of the sound of Evanescence than is "Bring Me To Life". The live acoustic version is not as moving but still does the song justice. Amy also delivers her haunting vocals in an acoustic verstion of the Nirvana song "Heart-Shaped Box". No rehashing or remixing makes this CD-Single definitely worth owning.


Great Nirvana Cover
Even if you already have Fallen, this CD gives you a lot more. If you like "Going Under" you should get this CD.

First cool thing they give you is an acoustic version of "Going Under" which is so good. I was skeptical at first because I thought this was one of those songs that only sounded good with a hard feel to it. I'm happy to say I was completely wrong. I think the reason why this version works is because it allows Amy's vocals to come through clearly and crisply. Don't get me wrong though, the album version of the song is great when you want to rock out but this acoustic version is perfect if you're in more of a chill mood.

The second reason you should buy this CD is the "Heart Shaped Box" Nirvana cover. Sure, a cover of this song will never be as good as the original but they came as close as anyone can come. Amy changed the sound of the chorus a little and shortened it to 2 "Forever in debt to your priceless advice"s instead of 3. I was very happy with the change mainly because I don't like it when a group covers a song and sings it exactly the same as the original. I mean, what's the point of that? So, if for no other reason, buy this CD to hear a cool Nirvana cover.

I do have this song, although it doesn't instantly hit you how good it is as much as their previous single. Amy Lee is one of the best singers around at the moment. The video is very dark and shows the group in a concert, with loads of body surfing or whatever its called! The guitarists don't have much to do with singing this song, they did kinda back up singing to Amy in "Bring Me To Life". Which is a real shame, as Amy has this brilliant voice, and then you hear the guy singing, and it just completes the song.

I always hear one song from a new group etc, but avoid buying the album. I still haven't bought the Evanescence album, but might get it soon. It's on my Christmas list!.
