Jane Girl of the Month

There's a trend with female singers, when their band becomes supersuccessful, to abandon the rest. See Gwen, Fergie, Beyonce. So you might've expected Amy Lee to do the same after her group, Evanescence, sold 14 million copies of ther dramatic debut. "There's no reason to", she says, "I couldn't do it without Terry's guitars, but Evanescence is me." The band's new album The Open Door- wich Amy (24) describes as "harder and bigger than people probably expect"- is about life changes including the departure of guitarist and ex-boyfriend Ben Moody. Take first single "Call Me When You're Sober." "It's me putting my foto down at the end of a relationship and saying, 'that's it'" she says. "I give so many second, third, fourth million chances, but I end up sacrifising too much of myself. So saying no was a big deal." And best of all? "The record ends on a happy note, wich is wild. I finally feel good."

AMY LEE HAS FIGURED OUR A WAY TO BE DARK, BROODING AND HAPPY. WE WANT LESSONS.

Thanx to our anonymous comment...

'Call Me When You're Sober,' the first single from Evanescence's forthcoming album 'The Open Door,' boasts all of the shredding guitars and banshee vocals you'd expect from the multi-platinum powerhouse. But when Amy Lee and the boys visited our Sessions studio last month, they proved that the song could be just as compelling (if not more so) with the volume turned way down. With just a piano, cello and guitar at their disposal, the band performed a haunting acoustic version of the track for our cameras, stripping it down to an ethereal essence that was as raw as the words Amy sings (...)

"(...) copy of Rider’s termination notice that Lee’s attorneys included as evidence. “As you are well aware,” it reads, “Ms. Lee was recently in an abusive relationship with Ben Moody. She has no intention of associating with any persons who engage in that sort of… illegal conduct.” Does that mean that Ben was physically abusive, we ask? Lee inhales sharply: “I’m not going to answer that. Sorry. (...)"

Goth-rocker AMY LEE accepts her lyrics can be dark and depressing at times - but she has learned they actually help save lives too. The Christian EVANESCENCE singer hopes her songs about loneliness and desperation help troubled fans realise they're not the only ones going through difficult times - she's been there too. But now Lee has a more upbeat view of life, she's thrilled to hear suicidal fans have chosen life over death after listening to her songs. She explains, "I'm all about making people feel like they're not alone. One fan told me they were seriously contemplating suicide, but that night they were playing our album, something pulled them back from the edge. "I know how it feels to be completely alone and helpless, and the last thing you want to hear in that situation is, 'It's going to be OK.' "The only thing that seems to really help is that someone else who has felt that low expressing those feelings to you." - Source

BITCHY enough without actually calling anyone out. That's how Amy Lee coyly describes her new song, Call Me When You're Sober (...)

Ev to save the musical retail season?

In the first six months of the year, U.S. album sales declined 4.2% compared to one year earlier, according to Nielsen SoundScan, so labels have pushed their biggest releases into the final four months of 2006, hoping that holiday shoppers will want to rock out.

(...)

in a retail season that also brings new releases from Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Janet Jackson, Clay Aiken, Alan Jackson, Ludacris, Beck, Evanescence, Jet, My Chemical Romance, Keith Urban and the Killers.

(...)

"There's a big Grammy effect that reminds people about albums they want to buy," said Beer, who guessed the Dixie Chicks and new singer Corinne Bailey Rae will benefit from nominations. Beer also forecast that Justin Timberlake and Evanescence will score big this holiday season.

But does she think they can save the music retail season?

Late Night with Conan O'Brien

Referred to as "the most cunning talk show around" by Entertainment Weekly, "Late Night with Conan O’Brien" began its twelfth season on September 13, 2004. In addition to dominating the ratings in its time period, every aspect of "Late Night" has been praised in the media, from Conan himself ("modest, wry, self-effacing and demonstrably the most intelligent of the late-night comics," The Washington Post) and the show’s comedy ("original and often breathtakingly silly," said the New York Daily News), to the Max Weinberg Seven ("the best band in late-night TV," said The Washington Post).

Lacrymosa Lyrics from TOD

Lacrymosa from The Open Door
Out on your own
cold and alone again
can this be what you really wanted, baby?
Blame it on me
set your guilt free
nothing can hold you back now

Now that you're gone
I feel like myself againg
rieving the things I can't repair
and willing ...to let you blame it on me
and set your guilt free
I don't want to hold you back now love

I can't change who I am
not this time,
I wont lie to keep you near me

and in this short life, there's no time to waste
giving upmy love wasn't enough

and you can blame it on me
just set your guilt free, honey
I don't want to hold you back now love

TOD lyrics - 'Lose Control'

You don't remember my name
I don't really care
Can we play the game your way?
Can I really lose control?
Just once in my life
I think it'd be nice
just to lose control- just once
with all the pretty flowers in the dust

Mary had a lamb
his eyes black as coals
if we play very quiet, my lamb
Mary never has to know

Just once in my life
I think it'd be nice
just to lose control- just once
if I cut you down to a thing I can use
I fear there will be nothing good left of you

Brazilian article

She is Amy Lee, singer of Evanescence. Blue.green eyes, happy mood, about 1,5 m high. Twenty four years old and many complicated histories to tell us. She says: "I had already faced many problems. Life is hard. That's way I believe on a paradise. There should be something better that this".

Amy is joking, but not too much. On the last years, she saw her band leaving the state of Arkansas, and become a super rock band. 14 millons of CDs sold. That was the good part, but it wasnt over...On the way to the success, on 2003, in the middle of a tour on Europe, Ben Moody, left the band. He tries to get closer again, but Amy doesnt want it."He will never come back to the band. We dont speak anymore. Before he left the band, things werent good. Ben wasnt happy. He had personal problems. Ben and I live better away from each other".

Without Ben, Amy found an other guitarrist, Terry Balsamo. Was that over? On a normal band... yes. But not in Evanescence. At the end of the year 2005, with 33 years old, Terry had an accident: a brain haemorrhage. He says: "On one saturday, I finished to record the guitarrs for the new CD. On monday, I woke up with my left side paralised. Thanks God I had already done everything".

Now, see the strange explanation of his accident: “It was because I move a lot my head on the stage. A neck artery broke and a coagulum formed on my head". No Brazil, the doctors found this history a little bit strange. "Its unbelievable that something like that could be caused by "moving so much" your head. This happends frecuently on very dangerous accidents", says the doctor Luiz Alcides Manreza.Terry, who likes Sepultura, has some problems but he is recovering well.. Amy believes on his quick recovery.

"We are going to release the new album on october and we will start with the tour. terry is gonna be fine until then". Terry might be OK, but the band's problems continues. The bass player, Will Boyd, left the band last month. Now, the new album is gonna be heavier than the first one... If you were expecting some "happy lyrics", forget about it!

"I am who I am", explains Amy Lee. For many fans, this is a good thing.
