>>125611 It is not heavy like other goth metal bands (ie; anything from Sweden or that area of Earth.) While her singing and piano skills are desirable, the guitar work and drums and bass are trite repititions of the same progressions plagueing mainstream metal today. I often run into people who value her attractiveness over initial performance. I have heard that many of their live performances are terrible, as if she is drunk. Typical, yes, but live performance should be involved in the overall rating. And, most notably, her work is overplayed on the radio- a new Evanescense song plays around 17 times a day in my city. My conclusion- Just because it is popular doesn't mean it is remarkable to the genre.
My opinion is that she is more like Celine Deon than Ozzy(metal), or even Jimmie Hendrix or Eric Clapton(rock) or even Joan Jett (80s punk). Therefore, her work poses as metal/rock but is most definately pop.
