"I used to like Evanescence a lot - is that considered acceptable on this blog or do you all hate them too?"

I'm neutral. I like some of her songs. Although Amy is kind of disgusting, you gotta give her a pat on the back for not being so mainstream and being more "creative". Ben Moody on the other hand? Disgusting! Amy's situation with the The Open Door reminds me of Kelly Clarkson's My December shit fest. Although Amy really isn't that "emo" anymore, smarterthanpickler, since she even admitted that usually when she writes, she dwells in the problem. Kind of how she did in Evanescence's first album "Fallen" (which sold way more albums (Over 15 million albums) than TOD (Over 5 million copies) by the way cause its more catchy and was bought my millions of emo teens). No wonder nasty bitch Carly Shitson joined this band.

Anyway, Amy said she grew from that and now writes about overcoming the shit she's dealt/dealing with. Which is what "Sweet Sacrifice" is about. I like that song and the message:

"It's the one song on The Open Door that's about the same abusive relationship which was the source of all the songs on Fallen. It was appropriate to put this song at the beginning, but it comes from a much stronger standpoint than Fallen. It's not saying, 'I'm trapped in fear and somebody save me.' It's saying, 'Fear is only in our minds ... I'm not afraid anymore."

Here's a disgusting fact, when Amy Lee and Ben Moody were dating, they had a verbally and physically abusive relationship. When asked if Ben ever hit her she accidentally answers yes by saying "I'm not going to answer that" and she even admits it.

Her song "Good Enough" is not really emo either:

"It’s totally scary to be so vulnerable when I know however many metalheads are going to diss it because it’s not the exact same thing [as the other songs]. And it doesn’t end with, ‘And then he died’ or ‘I pushed him off a cliff’ or ‘He’s a ghost really.’ It’s so cool to me and weird to me. I’ve never written a happy song, ever. "

Anyway, she still writes about past emo experiences. So yeah, she still kind of fits the definition of emo I guess.

Like Carly Shitson, she writes about how she wants to be buried alive. Well you heard her then! Lets grab some shovels everybody.
