To sing any Breaking Benjamin songs you have to sound like you're about to end somebody or end yourself, nothing but pure emotion like you're gonna cry or just got done crying.
His voice is def unique, but Chris from motionless in white def has a similar voice. Ben was his idol, and they grew up essentially in the same place so it makes sense he would have that certain vibe to his voice
Ben's voice is one of a kind. His emotion and skill is what makes breaking Benjamin one of the most underrated bands ever. They singlehandedly got me through my childhood.
My dear while you have an absolutely beautiful voice and lots of talent, nothing can replace the gravel, power and tone of Ben’s voice🤘🏼. Keep on truckin though girl you are awesome!
Breaking Benjamin did a song with the female singer from flyleaf dear agony auora version amazing 👏 felt better emotionally with the both of them on that song only but you cannot replace Benjamin that's like saying what if ozzy wasn't black sabbath or dio wasn't dio or if Howard Jones with is fuccin classic and amazing killswitch sabbath Benjamin James dio ozzy Osborne with this vocalist you can hear real pain raw emotion in there voice when they sing the sing to the ppl but believe in what they are singing she needs to let go and let her soul take the mic she did a good job but if I listen to her I still hear Benjamin in the background u need your own style to make your good luck so cold was a absolute amazing 👏 so maybe try a different song like I will not bow into the nothing anthem of the angels had enough failure dear agony unknown solider dance with the devil let here other opinions cuz I truly would know what people think do think this girl can keep up with any of Breaking Benjamin's song and I would like this girl to get this message and prove us wrong
Yea ya can say that about every successful band out there but the impossible has been done before. Luckily though this chick never said in anyway that she wanted to or thought she could replace him.
This was without a doubt, a brilliant cover and a personal joy to listen, multiple times. That being said, Breaking Benjamin wasn’t amazing because it had a « male singer ». It was amazing because it had a « Benjamin Burnley » singer… His voice is so unique and add in the raw emotion and the cocktail becomes legendary !
100% spot on. He is the band. That's why he could fire his musicians when they ripped him off and actually make the band even better, what, like 3 more albums since? I've seen BB live both old lineup and new and Ben is an unreal singer. His voice is so powerful. I had the honor to be in the crowd at a show in North Carolina about 5 years ago and he came down into the crowd with just his mic and came right up to me and sang side by side with me and I can attest his voice is not filtered or altered, he was studio crisp right there on the floor in the crowd with my drunk ass singing this very song with him lol. Moment I'll never forget for life.
Breaking Benjamin can only do Breaking Benjamin but a good cover band with an excellent vocalist is really difficult to find so I would not worry about Breaking Benjamin and keep doing what you and the rest of First To Eleven are doing so well. You guys rock and do a great job with your arrangements.
So many comments land on what I was thinking. You are a doll and have a great voice. You give a new perspective to this song I hadn't noticed before. However, as a lifelong fan of BB, the raw emotion that Ben portrays through his vocals is almost impossible to mimic. His vocal quality, his breathing, and the emphasis he puts on keywords and phrases are unique to only him. This was a great go at an excellent song, but there can only be one Ben.
This is a great cover! That being said, no one can replace the vocalist nor any of the other musicians in Breaking Benjamin. It's really important to maintain originality and individuality in art and in life. Your voice is amazing. I want to support you for who YOU are. You don't have compare yourself to anyone to get views, to get famous, or to be greatly valued.
@@photonfartsqueeze6694 you are greatly misunderstanding the point of that comment. The original artist channeled his pain and trauma into this song and used it his emotions. We are not getting “enjoyment” of her pain or traumas we are simply saying that she is mimicking the words but seems like she isn’t channeling the same kind of emotion or feelings that the original singer did.
@@photonfartsqueeze6694 you clearly missed the point. Comment was just saying the vocals lacked the authenticity and passion the original artist conveyed through the music. The crowd doesn’t just connect to the words but the the feeling in the words. This doesn’t mean people enjoy suffering or despair. They can resonate with suffering and despair because they feel the same for whatever reasons and thus music becomes that outlet. I hope all you beautiful bastards are having a good day. 😉
Actually that's dangerous for the voice. You should never use emotion to manipulate your voice. The strain will damage it and repeated use will cause permanent injury up to, and including, loss of singing voice!
@@Argosh ^^^ not only is that true, I almost never see it mentioned online. Our vocal chords, while durable, are still a fragile, tiny, and meticulous mechanism. Straining them; on a whim; for the sake of straining them could range anywhere between a minor irritation and actively harmful. Using rasp or utilizing vocal fry IS possible without hurting your throat, but it's not something that the majority of people can figure out overnight. It's an arduous & oft under-explained skill you have to learn while probably teaching it to yourself, & unfortunately there's still no clear, agreed on understanding or methodology for HOW a person does that.
@@shredjward there are a couple of vocal coaches specialising in distorted vocals, so it is becoming a topic in the appropriate spaces. But I wish that cautionary tales like David Draiman (Disturbed) almost losing his voice had more public attention. I love their music and it would be a terrible shame to loose that voice permanently.
I had the same exact thought and feeling here, but the comments have it. I have actually hurt my voice trying to mimic my favorite songs for years without the proper training. It was going so well and then oof, now since I hit about 30 or so there are parts of my voice that I almost can't even "get to" anymore. Minor irritation but imagine if I went even harder and it was my career? That's why I don't push more on covers. Just gotta appreciate what what musician brings to the table.
Absolutely amazing talent. Fantastic work. While there's no way anyone can compare to the power in Bens voice or deliver the emotion of this song like he does, you did absolutely great.
There's a collab that Breaking Benjamin did for their song "Dear Agony", and the collab singer was Lacey Sturm from Flyleaf. It was honestly so beautiful! I think having a female singer accompanying the male lead singer on all of the rest of their other songs would make it perfect. It would add another dimension that would make it feel complete. Kinda like what Skillet does.
@@jimfogz Ben was justified in that firing lmfao. The band literally made the decision behind his back to put out a greatest hits album through their label, which he never wanted to do.
The song is sung with a heavy grunt from the male vocalist as a way to create a heavy feeling to the song. You are in tune with the song, but it loses a little bit of it's heaviness with your version. That's why some of the chorus is extremely deep and low toned. You have to imagine his feelings of carrying the heavy weight of "trying again", like the grunt of lifting and holding 300lbs or something that's just above a person's weight lifting capacity. It's that feeling he's feeling as he knows trying again may just be too much to lift.
finally someone said it. i was searching forever trying to find real feedback and not endless praise. she's not bad, but she doesn't convey any real emotion. on "strong men die" she just blandly holds the note, whereas the original singer leans into it with distortion. it's too clean and, to me, feels totally apathetic. this feels like a pop cover. and i guess people like that. not my thing though, no disrespect
I mean your voice is amazing and you'd fit in a similar band, but Ben's is iconic and I couldn't imagine anyone else singing his songs. But keep it up, you're very talented! ❤
@@jgg204it's actually worse than that...... she's not singing at all in this video. The voice you hear and the music you hear is firsttoelevens "studio" cover. Idk why she would make a video like this. It just makes them, especially her, look bad.
YES! I said the same thing! Everyone's like "you can't replace Ben", and well duh you can't, but Blow Me Away ft. Valora from the HALO soundtrack sounds AMAZING! I've also been to BB concerts where Amy Lee of Evanesance(who were on the bill as well and opened for BB) came out and performed with Ben and the band and it sounded FUCKING AWESOME!
All the bands I've drummed for, and the one I tried starting myself that I never got off the ground, I have always wanted a female vocalist for metal genre. You sound amazing and exactly what I always wanted to drum for
@@jigglytango4676 _"... Idk I think its a little to high for this song but shes a great singer ..."_ Yeah. I don't know much about singing, I'm listening music for the feelings. And (in this very example only the voice) I usually find her performance like when a girl from the kindergarten plays the rock singer. A singing teacher can be satisfied with her, regardless of that, I dunno.
No no no. You do have a great voice, undoubtedly. But nothing can compete with Ben’s way of performing. There are emotions, there are expressions which is so genuine, you live through them.
This chorus plays a special place To my heart because my brother passed away living to bbs music. And I can feel it in your vocals. If you believe and are passionate in the message you send. I don’t give a f if your a female or male. Tear it up girl. 🎉❤
I love your voice. Consructive critique. On the chorus what makes the singers voice so powerful isn't hitting the notes he sings. He adds a tinge of distion into his vocals. Simply hitting the proper notes isn't enough. That dirty raspy tinge is what makes how he sings it really really amazing.
@Joe dirty71 When You do That it ONLY serves to reveal your own Insecurities. (I have most DEFINITELY 💯% been being an asshole to ya, BUT I AM also telling you the unarguable truth at the same time in the first part of this Reply. 😊😎
@Ken Allsop Sorry ‘bout that. The DirtJoe71 or something guy has been leaving douchebag Replies on several people’s comments. I do Not like people like him, Lol. I left him ‘bout a 1000+ word reply on another comment where he thought it was smart to run off at the mouth with a well below average mind. 🤣🤣!!
Its not supoosed to sound the same, she made it her own and rhats all you can ask of a singer doing a good cover. It sounds like her. I think they're both good
Breaking Benjamin’s songs are PERFECT for female singers. Honestly, most of them are in the sweet spot in my range. I love singing his songs. Evil Angel, Dance With the Devil, Give Me a Sign, and What Lies Beneath = perfect shower songs.
Definitely, just listen to the duet version (w/Lacey Sturm, from Flyleaf) of ‘Dear Agony’ from the recent “remix” album. That song is fuck’n gorgeous! …it’s also Super goddamn depressing, but I still Love, ‘Dear Agony’ and it is still an Amazing track!! (OG ver. or Duet)
@Joe dirty71 I do. And therefore, to be perfectly honest and Factual, the personal opinions of Any and All other human beings on the face of this planet are rendered null and void. …😊
@Joe dirty71 LOL. Number 1: Where do you Think You live? It’s one of the most basic, understood realities in regards the nature basic human consciousness, existing as a sentient life form… Each individual’s Perception of the world around them IS their individual Reality. Number 2: My mind, my imagination is a horrendous place to exist. Most every day of my life for as long as I can remember anymore, is more often than not, just shy of a Waking Nightmare. So no. Not particularly fun or nice, sweetpea 😉. What IS “nice” (‘cause hell, I need some kinda bright side to hold on to, HA), is Knowing that I can have and Assert essentially any opinion or point of view I so chose. This extends to times that particularly put a smile on my face… Times when I encounter some pitiable little Boy that fancies himself a man. I see them making random shitty reply comments to strangers calling them a “simp” etc. (they are or not, I couldn’t give a Fuck!) Ya see what’s “nice” and I Enjoy are to far too rare occasions that I run across one of You when I’m out and about, when I see them cross a certain line (the Line depends on my mood) with their treatment of a simple random stranger that didn’t deserve a certain degree of disrespect, harassment, or even some dochey displace of intimidation by “relatively” subtle body language, etc., you get the idea, bub. I have a particular disdain for little pissant punkass of that ilk. So when They decide to misbehave to the degree that they require a memorable Correction to curb their shithead behavior, it’s Extremely “nice” to Know that My Opinion and Perception ARE the ones that count 😎, 😜. Their thoughts, perception, and the way say see/Imagine Reality is suddenly means less than Nothing. 😇 ‘Cause only the MOST extreme and statistically unlikely confluence of events will result in my failure to easily impose My Will upon them… IF I Choose to do so, I Know that at least 99 times outta 100 I am fully capable of these things with minimal effort, the vast majority of the time never even requires Any physical contact. But the End is the Same. I’ve at least for the moment I have utterly eliminated Whatever their Imagination had interpreted Reality to be, I “imagination” or more accurately My Perception has supplanted their now reveled to be false or inferior version Reality with My verifiably more Correct version of Reality. So considering, in that moment they no choice but to accept My Reality and my “imagination” as their own as well. Perhaps now you can see why your trivial and feeble Opinions NEVER never even possessed the possibility of a single iota of significance to ME. 😋, LOL 😆!! Good shit 👊! Be Silent now. And in the future you would benefit from understanding Your limitations, while assessing another’s capabilities and True Nature before opening your simpleton mouth, since you’ve demonstrated incontrovertibly that you haven’t the Mind to backup whatever physical capabilities your Body may or may not have. That was FUN! 😃, 😉. Sleep tight, buttercup. 🍺🍺CHEERS! HAA!!
@@frankshanks9726 I bet you don't comment those things on male covers of your beloved artists 😅 and it isn't only about you. A lot of geeks saying bad things to the girl. Shes beautiful and definitely can sing. What's wrong with that
I concur as well. Since their first album, Breaking Benjamin has easily been my favorite band in that particular metal/rock genre or niche… LOL, I have NO idea what genre that may even be, But my opinion still stands, 🤣 lol. 👊!!!
It's good, i think it would've sounded way better if it was sung in a different key where you could've really used your higher register. Add a little rasp/growl to the vocals and you could get something really good
I’d still listen and enjoy it. BB is one of my favorite bands-lots of history and appreciate what Benjamin has created and maintains as an artist but maybe even as a backup singer along with Ben that would be an amazing lineup
I rarely leave comments, but I love Breaking Benjamin and gave this an honest try. I’d have to hear more. Not sure if it’s already out there because I haven’t looked. 75% of me loves this, but I need to hear the more intense/screamo tones to see whats really up. I don’t hear or feel the same level of rawness. Also- obviously this comment is purely about if the level of worthiness to compare yourself to him. As you know, he could never be replaced. 😹😻 You really do sound great though! Just close your eyes and get lost in it 🖤
There is so many voice change mods going on with your voice, extra voices adding onto yours, it's nowhere near the same. Now, I'm not saying it's bad, it definitely isn't. I love this version of it. But Ben do it without any assistance and that's what makes Ben, Ben. This version wouldn't be able to be done with live voices.
Your voice is really good, but it needs intensity. That's what I love about BB is the many different types of inflections and effects he can produce vocally, plus the rasp of his voice, which isn't nessesary with yours, and the intensity in which every one of his lines is delivered. Even if you intend to sound feminine, there is still the need for intensity, it's just displayed differently.
I was just thinking this while I was listening to it. It's way too clean. She's a great singer, undeniably, but So Cold is such a gruff and intense song that it didn't work for me. I'd love to hear her do a song like Breath or Evil Angel
@@Helldog6 A female vocalist like Lizzy Hale from Halestorm, Maksym Fatullaiev from Jinjer, Chloe "Skarlett" Drinkwater from Scarlett Riot, Melissa Bonny from Rage of Light, or Alissa White-Gluz from Arch Enemy are the types that would do a song like this justice and hit the same feeling of the original.
To sing any Breaking Benjamin songs you have to sound like you're about to end somebody or end yourself, nothing but pure emotion like you're gonna cry or just got done crying.
Perfect way to describe it. Breaking Benjamin is my catharsis music
👍
Currently listening to Dear Agony while sobbing 😭
Good point ,but still like her singing, beautiful voice just not for this song.
@@lizzychavis2955 agreed
Noone could replace Bens vocals because they're so unique, but you sound REALLY GOOD! Keep it up!

No one can break Ben.
His voice is def unique, but Chris from motionless in white def has a similar voice. Ben was his idol, and they grew up essentially in the same place so it makes sense he would have that certain vibe to his voice
while your voice is great nothing can replace Ben's emotions in his vocals
She's good but kinda dry he had more emotion and was a lot better.
While I cannot deny that this is good, no one can replace or do a good enough cover to beat Benjamin Burnley

That's because it's auto-tuned to death.

@@jgg204it's actually worse than that...... she's not singing at all in this video. The voice you hear and the music you hear is firsttoelevens "studio" cover. Idk why she would make a video like this. It just makes them, especially her, look bad.
Sounds fantastic, I think it would be an amazing ADDITION to Ben’s already incredible vocals, not a replacement to. That would be absolutely epic!!
YES! I said the same thing! Everyone's like "you can't replace Ben", and well duh you can't, but Blow Me Away ft. Valora from the HALO soundtrack sounds AMAZING! I've also been to BB concerts where Amy Lee of Evanesance(who were on the bill as well and opened for BB) came out and performed with Ben and the band and it sounded FUCKING AWESOME!
I would think it would sound absoluetly sick as a duet!
Borderline annoying. Why do females gotta over do it...smh
One of the best, and most beautiful voices. The fact you took on Breaking Benjamin makes it even better
no one can replace Ben
Amen
That wasnt the idea… so chill
Chris Cornnel
To answer her controversial question, the answer is NO!
She's not auditioning to replace him. Just doing a cover.
It ain't got the emotiin behind it. If you can convey that, you'll be legendary
Oooh idk man ur ghey!
No one can replace Bens unique voice
What is the name of this song?
@@xGeneralBlazexSo Cold.
I agree. She is pretty good. She kind of reminds me more of Flyleaf than Breaking Benjamin anyways.
@@S1nn3r7-v8n Thank you!
YES WELL SAID!!
All the bands I've drummed for, and the one I tried starting myself that I never got off the ground, I have always wanted a female vocalist for metal genre. You sound amazing and exactly what I always wanted to drum for
I'd LOVE to hear full song covers from you. Great BB cover.
Well I'll be happy to tell you that she has 15 cover albums on Spotify 👍
I love her voice❤🎤
It fits everything!
Audra's definitely the best!
Yeah.
It fits so much
that you barely
hear it.
Idk I think its a little to high for this song but shes a great singer
@@jigglytango4676
_"... Idk I think its a little to high for this song but shes a great singer ..."_
Yeah.
I don't know
much about singing,
I'm listening music for the
feelings.
And (in this very example only the voice)
I usually find her performance like when
a girl from the kindergarten plays
the rock singer.
A singing teacher can be satisfied with her,
regardless of that,
I dunno.
This amount of effects for sure can made to fit everything.
You love her autotune.
This is amazing. A harmonized version with your vocals and Ben's would be unreal 🙌
A duet would be cool af
Boy! You talking that “bring me to life” type hype!
Listen to Dear Agony from the Aurora album with Lacey Sturm, it’s so fucking good.
I love Lacey Strum bro 🙌🏿
FR
I love it! You have a great voice, and it’s perfect for this style of music. Good job! (I like singing this style too!)❤
Imagine a duet that would be damn good I mean this is already better then I expected
The harmonies are so clean and locked in
If I had never heard the original, I'd love this version.
hi
No no no. You do have a great voice, undoubtedly. But nothing can compete with Ben’s way of performing. There are emotions, there are expressions which is so genuine, you live through them.
This chorus plays a special place To my heart because my brother passed away living to bbs music. And I can feel it in your vocals. If you believe and are passionate in the message you send. I don’t give a f if your a female or male. Tear it up girl. 🎉❤
Girl you got talent. Make your own path with your own style. That would be a very cool thing to hear.
Much success to you girl ❤️😎.
in that case you might wanna check out concrete castles, its thier other band for their originals
@@Rocker-1234 Thank you !! I’m gonna do just that 😉😎.
Breaking Benjamin is one of my favorite bands. I came into this with a VERY closed mind. You killed it. Damn.
Right!? Major flyleaf vibes ,gave goosebumps and flashbacks to the early 2010's lol
Nah. I’d like to hear In this moment cover it now. Where’s the scratch and push out of the diaphragm
My minds still closed 😅 sorry, but no one can replace Ben 😅
I love your voice. Consructive critique.
On the chorus what makes the singers voice so powerful isn't hitting the notes he sings. He adds a tinge of distion into his vocals.
Simply hitting the proper notes isn't enough. That dirty raspy tinge is what makes how he sings it really really amazing.
Your voice is fantastic, would actually love to hear you and Ben together, I could hear your vocals complementing one another really well!
@Joe dirty71 HAHAA!!! My, you’re an angry little one, arn’t ya…. 😘 HAA!
@Joe dirty71 When You do That it ONLY serves to reveal your own Insecurities.
(I have most DEFINITELY 💯% been being an asshole to ya, BUT I AM also telling you the unarguable truth at the same time in the first part of this Reply. 😊😎
@Ken Allsop Sorry ‘bout that. The DirtJoe71 or something guy has been leaving douchebag Replies on several people’s comments. I do Not like people like him, Lol.
I left him ‘bout a 1000+ word reply on another comment where he thought it was smart to run off at the mouth with a well below average mind. 🤣🤣!!
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! I would LOVE to hear you cover a Bad Omens song - that would be SICK!!!!
Your voice fits super well! I'd love to hear you cover their other songs!
That would be sick. I love the way this sounds.
People need to relax. She's not replacing Ben lol!
Please do more cover of them!
That's not a controversial opinion, it's a question. And I appreciate you asking that question!
you sir are doing gods work
My thoughts exactly. I think the internet has warped too many peoples heads.
Came here to say this.
Just goes to show that Ben's voice can never be replaced.
Exactly what I thought ha
Thank you
Agreed
Could've worked if it didn't change the genre entirely
i mean its a great cover but Ben's voice is so unique its weird to hear any other voice instead on one of their songs
One of my most favorite songs...
Hear you out?!? You *_utterly_* nailed this!
It, seriously, gave me chills. Well done.
WOAH! I'm down for this. I really love BB too. They're the best.
Yep. Need an entire discography cover of BB from you ASAP.
Came here to say the same!!
Same
Big same
Same
Agreed!
Honestly, it doesn't make me feel the same way, makes it a lot more soft
right, ben's voice is just way more powerful
Its not supoosed to sound the same, she made it her own and rhats all you can ask of a singer doing a good cover. It sounds like her. I think they're both good
And breaking Benjamin is hard?
@@peterlane7128 you can hear the autotune in it
@@dallas.s well no, I can't. But I also don't have an ear for such things. Even if there is though..... so what? Hundreds of artists use autotune?
Sooooo much Halo 2 nostalgia with this song! Well done!
The song blow me away, even more so tho lol. Good times.
@@tmony619lol right? I was like wtf does this have to do with H2?
I love it!! You are awesome!!!
Please share a full version! You’re amazing!
Holy shit i got goosbumbs all over me. Youre Voice is flipping AMAZING
simp
I would love to hear you cover ashes of eden or dear agony
I'd love to hear them do Ashes of Eden. It's my immediate go tk whenever I listen to Breaking Benjamin
@@camerondon3712 sameeeeee just discovered them and this gives me goose bumps just listening to it. So good.
Wow 👏👏
Hell, I forgot about Dear Agony. Time to revisit that one and probably have a good cry. Haha 😁
PLEASEEEEE DEAR AGONYYYY PPLLEEAASSEEE OMFG 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Ben cannot be replicated in any way that’s what makes the songs so great
We definitely need more of this!
So basically they become Lacuna Coil ;)
All kidding aside, this sounded amazing.
Dude I hope
Came and said this too. Sounds exactly like Lacuna Coil....with reverb 😂
@@PLKxR Nothing at all like Cristina Scabbia.
i love your voice and would listen to the whole cd if you remade it!! BUT i feel his voice has a power that feels missing in this.
Definitely. Great voice but the song lacks the power.
Yeah, I agree; she has a good voice, but it lacks that "haunting" appeal of the original.
Love this band and you sound GREAT!
Breaking Benjamin’s songs are PERFECT for female singers. Honestly, most of them are in the sweet spot in my range. I love singing his songs. Evil Angel, Dance With the Devil, Give Me a Sign, and What Lies Beneath = perfect shower songs.
Definitely, just listen to the duet version (w/Lacey Sturm, from Flyleaf) of ‘Dear Agony’ from the recent “remix” album. That song is fuck’n gorgeous! …it’s also Super goddamn depressing, but I still Love, ‘Dear Agony’ and it is still an Amazing track!! (OG ver. or Duet)
@Joe dirty71 I do.
And therefore, to be perfectly honest and Factual, the personal opinions of Any and All other human beings on the face of this planet are rendered null and void. …😊
@Joe dirty71 Yes. Exactly.
@Joe dirty71 LOL. Number 1: Where do you Think You live? It’s one of the most basic, understood realities in regards the nature basic human consciousness, existing as a sentient life form… Each individual’s Perception of the world around them IS their individual Reality. Number 2: My mind, my imagination is a horrendous place to exist. Most every day of my life for as long as I can remember anymore, is more often than not, just shy of a Waking Nightmare. So no. Not particularly fun or nice, sweetpea 😉.
What IS “nice” (‘cause hell, I need some kinda bright side to hold on to, HA), is Knowing that I can have and Assert essentially any opinion or point of view I so chose. This extends to times that particularly put a smile on my face… Times when I encounter some pitiable little Boy that fancies himself a man. I see them making random shitty reply comments to strangers calling them a “simp” etc. (they are or not, I couldn’t give a Fuck!) Ya see what’s “nice” and I Enjoy are to far too rare occasions that I run across one of You when I’m out and about, when I see them cross a certain line (the Line depends on my mood) with their treatment of a simple random stranger that didn’t deserve a certain degree of disrespect, harassment, or even some dochey displace of intimidation by “relatively” subtle body language, etc., you get the idea, bub. I have a particular disdain for little pissant punkass of that ilk. So when They decide to misbehave to the degree that they require a memorable Correction to curb their shithead behavior, it’s Extremely “nice” to Know that My Opinion and Perception ARE the ones that count 😎, 😜. Their thoughts, perception, and the way say see/Imagine Reality is suddenly means less than Nothing. 😇 ‘Cause only the MOST extreme and statistically unlikely confluence of events will result in my failure to easily impose My Will upon them… IF I Choose to do so, I Know that at least 99 times outta 100 I am fully capable of these things with minimal effort, the vast majority of the time never even requires Any physical contact. But the End is the Same. I’ve at least for the moment I have utterly eliminated Whatever their Imagination had interpreted Reality to be, I “imagination” or more accurately My Perception has supplanted their now reveled to be false or inferior version Reality with My verifiably more Correct version of Reality. So considering, in that moment they no choice but to accept My Reality and my “imagination” as their own as well. Perhaps now you can see why your trivial and feeble Opinions NEVER never even possessed the possibility of a single iota of significance to ME. 😋, LOL 😆!! Good shit 👊!
Be Silent now. And in the future you would benefit from understanding Your limitations, while assessing another’s capabilities and True Nature before opening your simpleton mouth, since you’ve demonstrated incontrovertibly that you haven’t the Mind to backup whatever physical capabilities your Body may or may not have. That was FUN! 😃, 😉. Sleep tight, buttercup.
🍺🍺CHEERS! HAA!!
@Joe dirty71 Shit! Nearly forgot. The Lesson is: Don’t Be Rude. Night night. 🍻😝
Makes me appreciate his vocals.
Why do you hate women so much? lol
@@igorcrvlh Not sure how you implied a hatred for women from my statement. What I hear is a voice that detracts from the original greatly.
@@frankshanks9726 I bet you don't comment those things on male covers of your beloved artists 😅 and it isn't only about you. A lot of geeks saying bad things to the girl. Shes beautiful and definitely can sing. What's wrong with that
@@frankshanks9726I agree with you as well. She’s a good vocalist but his vocals are more powerful especially in the louder lyrics.
@@igorcrvlh this video once again affirms the belief that Taylor swift singing rock
Music would be awful.
I don't think you understand, I NEED you guys to cover more Breaking Benjamin songs. It's a NECESSITY ❤
I 100 percent agree🤘🖤🔥🔥
Yes please!
Yeah and perform them live too!
I concur as well. Since their first album, Breaking Benjamin has easily been my favorite band in that particular metal/rock genre or niche… LOL, I have NO idea what genre that may even be, But my opinion still stands, 🤣 lol. 👊!!!
Yes 💯
OMG You absolutely kick ass singing Breaking Benjamin!! Hell yes!
Thats basically like throwing a love potion at a man thats not deaf.
Very good job !
I'm deaf and it still worked 😅
It's good, i think it would've sounded way better if it was sung in a different key where you could've really used your higher register. Add a little rasp/growl to the vocals and you could get something really good
Need the full song asap!
Sorry voice is not strong enough, no growl
@@jaimearenivas6751 Then don't watch
Name of the full song is So Cold by Breaking Benjamin
I’d still listen and enjoy it. BB is one of my favorite bands-lots of history and appreciate what Benjamin has created and maintains as an artist but maybe even as a backup singer along with Ben that would be an amazing lineup
I want more. You have fantastic tone and your skill covering Ben is amazing
Girl you got an amazing voice maybe make a group and let that voice fly high
She has one👀 its @firsttoeleven
flyleaf high
@@ejecthps8999dammit you beat me to the joke
She's Does 😂😂 its F211 And CC
like a leaf? like flyleaf? although Lacey is also irreplaceable xD. She's good thhoughh.
Loved when Lacey Strum did the Aurora version of Dear Agony with Ben. I feel her ephemeral sound pairs well with Ben's gruff. You did well too! ^_^
They paired perfectly together ❤️
I rarely leave comments, but I love Breaking Benjamin and gave this an honest try.
I’d have to hear more. Not sure if it’s already out there because I haven’t looked. 75% of me loves this, but I need to hear the more intense/screamo tones to see whats really up. I don’t hear or feel the same level of rawness.
Also- obviously this comment is purely about if the level of worthiness to compare yourself to him. As you know, he could never be replaced. 😹😻
You really do sound great though! Just close your eyes and get lost in it 🖤
You did an awesome job! I feel like breaking Benjamin is a band that is so underrated
How tf are they underrated
i want this full cover in my table RIGHT NOW
It is already done dude. It is here.

There is so many voice change mods going on with your voice, extra voices adding onto yours, it's nowhere near the same.
Now, I'm not saying it's bad, it definitely isn't. I love this version of it. But Ben do it without any assistance and that's what makes Ben, Ben.
This version wouldn't be able to be done with live voices.
Your voice is really good, but it needs intensity. That's what I love about BB is the many different types of inflections and effects he can produce vocally, plus the rasp of his voice, which isn't nessesary with yours, and the intensity in which every one of his lines is delivered. Even if you intend to sound feminine, there is still the need for intensity, it's just displayed differently.
I was just thinking this while I was listening to it. It's way too clean. She's a great singer, undeniably, but So Cold is such a gruff and intense song that it didn't work for me.
I'd love to hear her do a song like Breath or Evil Angel
Agreed 💯
@@Helldog6 A female vocalist like Lizzy Hale from Halestorm, Maksym Fatullaiev from Jinjer, Chloe "Skarlett" Drinkwater from Scarlett Riot, Melissa Bonny from Rage of Light, or Alissa White-Gluz from Arch Enemy are the types that would do a song like this justice and hit the same feeling of the original.
@@atk9989 Maksym was a dude. I think you mean Tatiana.
lots of pitch correction too. That isnt even how she really sounds. Sounds great but it's insanely over processed to make her in tune.
