The drop down note just sounds weird live, that is why I was wondering if she has been doing it on purpose or if it is just her voice warming itself. It seems like once she drops it sometimes she can't get the pitch of her voice to go back up for a bit.

Not that I am complaining, because I thought it was a killer performance, just an observation.

Plus both times I have seen them in concert the begining of "Going Under" hasn't sounded like that, so I dunno  :?. It isn't all that big of a deal though.
For all you broken hearted lovers lost, go find another one. 'Cause you know time won't wait and you'll be late, white rabbits on the run...

Yesterday I got to meet Evanescence  :D , my day started off horribly, I got a call to say that my friend wasnt going to be able to make it so I got a little bit upset because i wasnt sure if i wanted to go by myself so I did any way.
When I got to Mt Druitt Shopping centre I got a bit lost so by the time I got there, there was already 3 lines formed infront of me.
A few minutes of waiting I heard someone calling my and it was my old school friend so I hung out with her.
After waiting 2 and a half hours suddenly Amy and Ben appeared, they walked into a small room on the 2nd story of the shopping centre where they were interviewed by MTV Australia.
15 minutes later Mumma Jugs ( a radio presenter) introduced Amy and Ben to the crowd.
I looked at Amy and nearly died when I saw how pretty she was.
Oh and Ben was spunky aswell.
Mumma Jugs did a short interview with the band and she asked Ben what his favorite thing he had seen in Australia, he replied "The koala's" then Mumma said "You know they bite and scratch, What would you call the koala?" and Ben explained "Id call it Amy because you said they bite and scratch" LOL it made me laugh so much.
After their interview Amy explained that they had been asked to sing only 2 songs but she felt bad because this was the only instore performance so they would sing more then 2 which I thought was so nice of them.
The started off with "Going Under" which was a brilliant choice to start off with.
At the end of the song Amy said she was actually going to sing "Going down under" but she couldnt do it because she would laugh to much, then she started to sing "Im going down under" lol and Ben laughted, it was hilarious.
The next song Ben and Amy played was My Immortal, it showed me how beautiful Amy can sing.
After My Immortal they played a Nirvana song Heart shaped box when the chorus came about Amy laughted and said "I wanted you guys to sing the chorus and she continued.
After the song ended Amy jokingly said "just kidding thats not really our song".
Then after that they sang their number one Australian single "Bring me to life" I sang along to this one so loudly (i also phoned my friend lol).

When they had finished playing acoustic it was time for everyone to meet them, I got so excited that I went all hot.
It wasnt a long wait so when I got up there I was stunned like i always am meeting famous ppl.
First up I met Ben, he was nice and shook my hand and signed my cd but I didnt get to talk to him because this girl behind me talked over the top of me so that was a bit dissapointing.
Next up was Amy, I was looking forward to meeting her the most, I said hello to her and thanked her for signing my cd, she replied your welcome Katie, take care (she knew my name because I had a little note on the cd cover so they spelt my name right.
Then I left, WOO it was so cool and I got a free poster, its so huge.

I had an awesome day and Im glad that I went.

Here is the signed Fallen cd thats all MINE hahaha:




Ill be getting my photos tomorrow so hopefully there r a few good ones.

Woot! Yeah Amy is a total sweetheart when it comes to the fans. Except for this one case. Was really funny actually. It was on a Road Trip I and 3 others from Cali went to in Louisianna and at the Lafayette show afterwards Amy and the band except for Ben came out to sign Autographs. So Nate (Blimptor from Evboard) and I were standing there talking to Amy and this little scrawny kid came up asked her to sign his CD, was very polite and the dreaded Question came up.

"Are you guys Christian? Are you a Christian band?"

Amy's face was SO PRICELESS! It went from a  :lol:  to a  :roll: /jawdropping look. The kid left and she was like AAAAAANNNNNNYWAY..... And just smiled. The little things ya know? The body language, and how you can learn from people that way. Was fun times. Glad you had a good encounter and time as well!

As for Ben. To get his attention easier? FLash him.... he seems to be obsessed with boobs.  :twisted:
