synthesis music evanescence amy lee everybody's fool reaction
Love how the song came out in 2003 and it's more relevant than ever now.
Yep, and it's getting worse
I have friends who are now managing their image as though they are famous. And they will only smile when their own camera is pointed at them; you should see the eruption if a picture you take accidentally includes them and they didn't vet it before it went online. Needless to say I, as do others, avoid them now. Social media is anti-social, it destroys a persons character and their social connections... 2000+ FB friends and lonelier than ever.
So so true...
What?? There were already social pressures (and good songs) in ancient greece. None of this is new.
@9600GTMAN I was already playing in bands and listening to music in 2003, and everybody was listening to bands like Evanesence and saying: "This modern music is crap, not like back in the day..." There´s always people like you, nostalgic idiots who live trapped in a romantic (and fake) version of the past.
You, sir. Are in love with Amy. It happens to EVERYONE!
Fern right? Lol I’ve been in love with her since I was like 13 in ‘03 and first heard her. Best female vocalist ever, no doubt.
Fern AMEN
Fern i can relate !!
Fern it really does!
Hahahahaha of course!
"My ears are so lucky"
My favorite youtube line ever spoken lol
Dawn B lmao right?! And that’s honestly how I feel everyday listening to Evanescence
@@devinvelez4795 someone descrived her voice as a violin. so fucking on point
Notice how it moves from "She's got everybody fooled" to "You've got everybody fooled" to "You're everybody's fool". Genius lyrics.
Amy is a special talent. Her lyrics, her insights, her emotion, her beauty - and her killer vocals. Glad to see a new generation appreciating her.
There is way better singers in the Netherlands than amy lee
@@Mainkessler2816 nobody fucking asked about other singers. we're talking about amy lee. now listen to the amazing music and shut up
@@Mainkessler2816 Literally no such thing as "way better" than Amy Lee... Scientifically impossible.
@@Mainkessler2816Lots of great singers in their bedrooms, but can they write great songs, can they play instruments, can they captivate audiences, can they run businesses, can the raise children? Amy Lee does all of this and more.
@@whamsie4022Even at 42, she's STILL beautiful.
Evanesence "My Heart Is Broken"...
Yes you must see and hear this song!!
Yes! To that song, I would also like to see What You Want, or Hello. There is a lyrics video from thatvideomakingkid that has a really cool photo montage running in the background. Check it out.
@@mikehall4190 wow..thanks you michael..🤗
Yes! I love that song
the whole album is amaaaaaaaaazin
Honestly just he has to watch everything lol. Everything from albums like fallen to synthesis. Everything she does is amazing
It's amazing because she wrote this about movie/pop stars of the time and their facade, but now it applies to nearly everyone who's involved in social media. It's a much bigger part of the population! We all feel the need to live up to the "perfection" and fall for everyone else's lies, until they crumble. This could be the theme of 2020.
Evanescence- Hello
It’s about the death of her sister, truly heartbreaking and she has never sang it live
Evanescence- Tourniquet
My all time favorite song by them
BringThe Violence I second this!!
BringThe Violence Damn I had no idea that’s what the song was about. How’d her sister die?
Lone Wolf I’m not privy to all the details but she was very very young like between 2-4 years old I believe. Amy was at school and got the news during her recess period in whatever elementary grade she was in
Imperfection is also about it, but she actually does perform it. It makes me cry
I feel horrible for Amy. That was when her sister was only 3. Also, she shouldn't have gotten into so many romantic relationships with bandmates.
That was before social media was really a thing. She's a television star in the video; but yes, it is relevant to internet stars too.
17 years and this song still gives me chills. I honestly believe that so many kids and teens today struggle with depression, anxiety etc because they don't have this kind of music to get them through the though times. 99% of music today just exasperates the problems. I'm not just nostalgia tripping here. This music actually moves you emotionally. It was original, deep and meaningful. Who today is putting it music like this in the mainstream.
More Evanescence is veeeeeerrrrry welcome.
What you want
Whisper (live)
Haunted (live)
Tourniquet (live)
Your the ONLY other person that I've seen requesting What You Want. How about Weight Of The World?
TOURNIQUET!!!! YES IVE FOUND MAH PEOPLE! 😆
We all love Whisper
"My ears are SO lucky" - Alex Hefner 2019
Amy Lee is an absolute goddess!
There are not enough awesome words to describe Amy! :)😅
You caught on to the main message of the song but, there’s something you’ve missed: This was written and released before social media was even a term.
Fallen (the album this is on) was released March 2003 and MySpace launched August that year.
Just showcases what a great songwriter Amy Lee is. She comes across as a rather sensitive person and quite the retrospective introvert. I think she instinctively recognised the damage that fake-ass popularity does to people and society before we even got such things as Facebook or the Kardashians.
As an Ev fan, I so appreciate your take on this wonderful song. "Everybody's Fool" is so underrated in the Evanescence canon, and the video supports the meaning of the song so well. That's rare to find, especially in this day and age where almost anybody can slap a video together. The union between song and visual makes the music video legitimately art.
And yeah, you're completely right about how living this fake perfect life is such a huge thing on social media and yet, paradoxically, people act so much meaner to each other than they would IRL. Just like video!Amy realizing she's selling lies, people need to wake up, stop acting like fools for internet clout, and be true to their authentic selves.
Evanescence - Tourniquet
Requesting it the second time, as promised.
YESSSS please I second this
good song, one of their best
OMG yes that was one of my favorite songs on that album.
Yassssss great song
Yep! Their best song
"It's like Christmas morning when I'm six years old" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 No truer words have been spoken about Amy Lee's voice
Evanescence -
Good Enough
Hello
What You Want
My Heart is Broken
Lost in Paradise
Made of Stone
Change
Imperfection (live and OG music video)
Hi-Lo ft Lindsey Sterling (live and OG music video)
Lachrymose (Synthesis version live)
Bring me to Life (Synthesis version live)
You have similar tastes as mine but how about My Tourniquet?
I love this song!!!!! I feel like no one ever talks about this song by them.
Angelita Becerra I love this song so much
Was my favourite of theirs initially.....it remains so, despite the amazing catalogue they have since created. One of the great riffs.
Omg you have my mom's last name 😳
@@stephaniebecerra2298 Small world. It's a fairly common last name in Mexico which is where my last name came from
@@angelitabecerra yeah my grandpa's last name is Becerra and he is from Mexico
This video makes me almost cry because it’s so true that hurts... I think Evanescence was one of the first groups taught me social media and TV are the most important cause of social and mental issues!!!
Well back when this song was made, it was mostly about the Hollywood image since social media wasn't full blown yet, like I think MySpace came a year or two after this song was created but yeah, it can also be used for what's going on in the world now lo
I'm crying, shit! This video can still move a lot with me. It is a reality of many of us these days, many masks, labels, makeup your fake face. What Amy Lee went through in this video many years ago is echoing a lot these days. It's a powerful job!
I adore you watching Evanescence because that's exactly how I feel every time I hear Amy's voice no matter how many years pass! She just released a new song called Love goes On and On, you should check it out! Definitely a bit different from her heavier stuff.
I asked you once and I'm asking again: react to "My last breath". Amy Lee wrote this song inspired by the 9 /11 events. It is a deep song and full of meaning.
Just about ANY song by Evanescence, I would like to see Hell also. There's not an official video, but there is a lyrics video by thatvideomakingkid that has a really moving photo montage running in the background.
And Christian entered to it in TNA
Alot of us asked for a song and alot of us asked again. Try doing it through his patreon but dont hold your breath even though you paid money
All of these reactors don't take songs from comments on here, they want money on Patreon.... So you want me to give you money so you can listen to a song that I already know it's good? Get the f out of here.
Hugo Batista YES PLEASE
Now realize, back when this song was written, not even social media existed. NONE OF IT DID! Facebook, Instagram, TikShit never existed back then, imagine writing a song and a a video about that in a time it wasn't relevant. THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST RELEVANT SONG OF THIS TIME despite it isn't of mine....
I love how you love her...
some old school Evanescence of the hauntingly beautiful variety: Give Unto Me, Understanding, Breathe No More and Even In Death
lies is great too
You fucking nailed it with the commentary surrounding this video. Keep up the awesome work, Alex!
Evanesence - Sweet Sacrifice :D
...or something out of Synthesis :)
YESSS Or My Tourniquet, or What You Want?
Imperfection he should
Yes!
End of the Dream!!!!!! iam dying for this song!!!
Or Good Enough!!!
2:52 And that's exactly what we're missing nowadays. Songs that are good both lyrically and musically.
This song and video together broke my celeb/lifestyle slight obsession. I was a teenager who finally seen through the veil. This concept is seen in other places but I just must have been in the right mindset and time in my life where I HEARD the meaning. It broke my psyche.
"I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore"
This song and video makes me feel the exact same thing in the exact same depth every.single.time.
I Thank Amy and company for making this vision come to life.
Evanescence:
My Heart is Broken
Sweet Sacrifice
SWEET SACRIFICE
What about "My Immortal"?
@@courtneywhite8470 he alredy did
You really need to react Imaginary from evanescence next please
Please, please, please, PLEASE do this!!!
especially if he can do this immediately after tourniquet, the way those two songs blend together seamlessly is beautiful
My FAV song!!!!
@@ghostofsilence2697 yes especially in that order
Thomas Mercure YES this is a must for the transition. It blows your mind when listening to the album in sequence. What a masterpiece.
One of the best songs of evanescence, really powerful lyrics
A few more My Tourniquet, or What You Want. :)😅
There was no social media when Everybody's Fool was released in 2004.
Facts
2003
Yes, there was.
There were Six Degrees, Friendster and MySpace back in those days..
It was released in 2003 actually. And his interpretation still works for the song- basically making this song timeless, in a way.
I love this song it really speaks too you. 😎🖤🧐🤫🤩🙌
Brother this song is from 2003, social media didn't exist.
though it can be related to them today...
wha you meant that social media didnt exist back then? myspace was launched in august 2003...
@@ApocGuy But not even remotely close to how much our every day lives revolve around it today. In 2008 there was only 100 million people on facebook. Today there is almost 2.5 billion. Over 30% of the world population is on facebook alone. I dont even think that many people had internet in 2003. So social media was in its infant stages in 2003, and really did not exist yet.
@@RMZrider12 100 million or 2.5 billion, the outcome remains the same. snowball effect ;). i do agree that what we have today is waaaay above anyone would even dare to think back in 2003.
@@ApocGuy Kind of scarey to think of what the future holds... How many people are gonna be connected 10 years from now? Not sure I wanna know
Was about to say the same thing lol
Please do my favorite, Evanescence "Good Enough". The range in that song is beautiful.
That song is actually mine and my guys song, pls react alex
Glad you said something about this song. Her low and then high again voice just takes you for a ride.
Omg Yes! Please
Oh HELL YEAH INCREDIBLE
It bothered me that just about every comment is just a recommendation.
Thank you for your input on the song, social media has really been pretty toxic. There’s a great and really bad side to social media. Great video Alex!
V • thank you so much for your insightful comment! People don’t understand that I’m much more likely to respond to an actual comment like this one! Much love!!
@@AlexHefner What's crazy is this song came out before the majority of what we consider "Social Media" even existed. It's haunting that it was so prophetic.
This is exactly why the only social media I use is Instagram and seriously only for memes.
We recommend songs for him bcs he asked for that😐 so what?
@@aliskilletman I don't think that was up for debate... also skillet fan?
She is the most amazing singer! I have always loved her...and she is absolutely beautiful too!!
As I understand it, Amy wrote this as a warning to her sister, who was obsessed with Britney Spears back in the day. One thing I seldom see when people react or comment on this video is how good an ACTRESS Amy is! WOW!
Ooof, looking back she has never been wrong has she?
Well, you'll NEVER go wrong with an Evanescence song. I would suggest doing Hello, the isn't a official video for this song, but there is a lyrics video that has a real cool photo montage that's shown in the background. Search for thatvideomakingkid, he has also done all of their songs from their albums with lyrics videos. If you want a anthem type song, I would recommend doing the song What You Want.
Having said all of that, I'll conclude with my usual request for another Halestorm video, I Miss the Misery. Thank's Alex, you're the best!
Love Hello! And Lacrymosa. They’re my two favourite Evanescence songs.
Keep up the Evanescence reactions!! Check out the song Hello from fallen
There isn't an official video of Hello, but there IS a good lyrics video by thatvideomakingkid that has a very good photo montage running in the background.
Michael Hall yeah I know but he can still check out the song.
Yes he should. That would be great.
Hello is great
Can you react to My heart is broken - Evanescence?
Yes please
Please no
@@introinvitro2955 😲
@@introinvitro2955 fer why?
It's so good.
Honestly any Evanescence song but what you want
Fallen's singles / videos are pure perfection
Yeah, I'm definitely not tired of Evanescence reactions. Her voice never gets old.
HIM - Rip Out The Wings of a Butterfly
I co-sign the hell out of this one!
Agree! HIM IS AMAZING
The song is just Wings of a Butterfly...but I still agree.
Sadly, there's a garbage rapper out calling himself HIM now, so that's fun.
Also, he needs to check out Killing Loneliness. Also by HIM.
I 100% agree but just like alot of these comments i wish you the best of luck
Yes please and Wicked Games
Where is tourniquet? You left us hanging after only showing 2/3 of the trilogy :P

@@ravensherwood9102 I know. There are WAY too many awesome songs by Evanescence. I can't pick any one of them as my favorite song :)😅
"Hello" has always been one of my favourites. Such a beautiful and heart wrenching song.
I NEVER watch reaction videos
Except for your reactions to Evanescence songs!
Man they are priceless!!
I'm in love with Amy too😏
Evanescence were the first girl lead rockband I listened to my mum would hear me sing her songs and thought I sounded like her but I said no chance mum there's only one Amy Lee, Her voice is so different and stunning she's the boss
Yo this song is hand down my favorite. Next song got to be Evanescence “My Heart is Broken” please. You must listen to this song
How about My Tourniquet, or What You Want?
Yess!!!
Michael Hall Tourniquet would also be good
React to Amy Lee ft Korn!! (Freak on leash)

Been saying this forever😆

so happy u love evanescence.
going to see them in concert on tour with within temptation:D
btw ever heard of the song amaranthe - hunger. think u gonna love it :D
also try out Within Temptation - And We Run ft. Xzibit ;-)
Lucky you! I wish i could go to their concert!!!
Lucky bastard
I wish i could go haha. Im not as much of a fan of withim temptation as i am of evanescence by any means, im not sure what it is about amy lee but shes somehow down to earth and on another level at the same time haha. Theres a few people i would love to meet and have a conversation with and shes in the top 2
Good luck hearing that on here
I am ALSO aiming to go to one of the concerts on this Tour! I cant wait
Try "Good Enough" or "Hello" :)
One is a feel good song that lifts you up and the other is a sad and haunting song about a loved one.
Evanescence is going on tour with Within Temptation next year! And I'm going to see them in Amsterdam! ❤
I totally envy you. There isn't anyway I could pay to fly to Europe, but I'd go there just to see that concert. :)😅
I will be honest, I was surprised you haven't done the reaction to this song before. But you finally made what I was waiting for. And it inspired me to say something about it. Cuz I was thinking that there is nothing worse than a superstar singing about being fake or creating completely different image in public just to get money. My thoughts were the same when I saw this video for the first time about 16 years ago. I decided to convince myself if I am wrong. And you know what? After these 16 years I finally met Amy Lee two weeks ago! Spoke with her for a couple of minutes during the "meet and greet" in Budapest. And she definitely is not fake. She "never was and never will be" like the most of singing stars who do everything for money. She likes to be with other people, she's open for everyone, talks about her life, about her past, asks many questions like she is involved in conversations with people,she is smiling all the time, showing her tongue... She even wished me happy birthday few times. I confess I could not say a word after that as I didn't expect so beautiful, so honest, kind and warm person she really is. I have fallen in love with her music even more than before. Believe me, if you like the lyrics, you can be sure it is a real thing.
This song has such a huge message in it! Man she used to talk for me with her songs, still does lol
Listen to some Lacuna coil, Cristina scabbia is a metal Goddess
If he doesn't do "Layers of Time" soon, I'm going to keel over I swear lol
Christina is the best
The intro to Our Truth would blow him away, if I'm any judge.
I just saw them in Atlanta, some of the best live vocals
@@1320crusier Cristina*
Alex, please react "My Heart Is Broken" by Evanescence.
Hell yes or "fields of innocence"
"Tourniquet" by Evanescence. Also "Your Star", probably my favorite.
There are SO MANY great songs! I'd like What You Want or My Heart Is Broken :)😅
Этот клип как никто другой, показывает современное общество, даже спустя столько лет.!
Это точно😔
My ex wife and I actually met Amy Lee around 10 years ago after an Evanescence concert. She was a really sweet person.
Can you bring your sister on the next time you react to Evanescence?
I think I remember you saying she was a fan.
Wow! What a COOL idea!!
Omg yaas
European tour with within temptation is gonna be something else
I'd fly to Europe just to see that concert. Well we can always hope for a collaborative song video with Amy Lee, and Sharon den Adel. :)😅
You should also check earlier songs of Evanescence, demos and particularly album ORIGIN! The Gothic Evanescence!

Favorite Evanescence song!
So glad you did Everybody's Fool...love this song
I Love your Evanescence reactions. React to Imperfection by them please.
To Hello also. There isn't an official video for that song, but he could use a lyrics video from thatvideomakingkid, that has a moving photo montage running in the background
You should react to imperfection by evanescence, I have a feeling you would really love the song
How about Hi-Lo the one with Lindsey Stirling? :)😅
I second Imperfection

This such a GREAT Evanescence song! Imaginary is my personal favorite 😀 love your reaction videos Alex!
BTW...Thank you for being such a positive light in such a dark world. I know I need it. God bless you!
React to Within Temptation - The Reckoning (feat. Jacoby Shaddix)! 🙏🏻
Btw Evanescence and Within Temptation announced they're going on a World Tour together! 🤗
Evanescence and Within Temptation are going to tour together, but I've heard it will only be in Europe. But we can hope for a collaboration with Amy, and Sharon, think positive thoughts. Evanescence HAVE been writing songs for a new album since May. We will probably see it by the middle of 2020

Mic-Rock Movie Reviews 🙂🙂
Great song back then is so related with this world right now... Facts
This is the reason why those who actually listened to her in the 2000s up until now are still loyal fans. Beside from her etherial voice, just listen closely everything connects to a much deeper meaning. Just love ❤️
I'd be down for more Evanescence honestly
ME TOO! There is NO such thing as TOO MUCH Evanescence! :)😅
Based on this video alone, I always thought Amy Lee would make a very good actor.
Ikr 👌
Actress
oh yes I was thinking about it also. She's soo good right. If there's an Oscar for a music video, she would have killed it.
@@castawayonthemoon Yeah
It’s interesting cause this song was actually released during a time when social media wasn’t even much of a thing yet- it was only 2003. I think maybe it was originally intended to call out the modeling industry for creating completely unrealistic expectations for how beautiful women (and men) should look...
That being said though, your take on this song totally works as well! Which is so cool because that makes this song t i m e l e s s in a way. :)
It’s about those pop stars and that world of everything is perfect all the time when it isn’t
Been listening to evanescence for idk maybe 10 years or more but every time I listen to their song it still give me goosebumps
I'm so glad that we have on YT someone like you Alex! You're the one that cares and don't treat people like idiots!
Thanks
You need to hear the full version of Afterlife (Avenged Sevenfold)!
React to "Sweet Sacrifice - Evanescence".
How about What You Want? :)😅
Some recommedations:
Jinjer -Sit Stay Roll Over or Words Of Wisdom
Epica- Unleashed or Sancta Terra live with Floor Jansen from Nightwish
Evanescence - Sweet Sacrifice
He has a ton of songs to choose from, What You Want, My Heart Is Broken, Hi-Lo, or Hello. There may not be an official video of Hello, but there's a lyrics video by thatvideomakingkid that has a very cool photo montage playing in the background.
Thank you for getting into depth and detail with the lyrics. Many people doing reaction videos are just listening for how good the beat and hard the sound is. Keep up the good work and thanks for being diverse in your music which is rare nowadays.
When you said "Omg my ears are so lucky" I laughed out loud. So true! Amy Lee is a goddess.
This song came out before TH-cam even existed.
Still can’t wait for Hi-Lo 😍😍😍
Also, this video and song came out before social media as it is today but I agree the message is still very much relevant!
Hi Alex!
Please react to Avantasia: the scarecrow or the wicked symphony or the ravenchild
Avantasia is a German supergroup metal opera project created by Tobias Sammet, vocalist of the band Edguy.
It has been characterized as a rock opera, as it features the contributions of various vocalists and musicians and it consists of concept albums.
Some of the guest that have been featured on Avantasia are: Michael Kiske (Helloween), Jørn Lande, Alice Cooper, Klaus Meine(Scorpions), Dee Snider(Twisted sisters), Marco Hietala(Nightwish), Sharon den Adel(Within Temptation), Hansi Kursch(Blind Guardian)
For sure you will love that band.
Hoping you will react to one of there songs one day.
Greetings from Germany.
This was actually my favorite Evanescence song for quite a while.
Allex, me and my girlfriend (I live in Portugal and she lives in Canada) are both Multiple Sclerosis pacient, prety disabled, we like very much waching you, thank you for bringing a ray of sunshine in our lives
Another great Evanescence song!!
Also, Alex please react to Anthem of the Lonely by Nine Lashes!!
Love those guys. Another great Christian rock band (even though their new album is electronic/pop). lul
I wish you good luck
Any of these Evanescence songs, please!
- Your Star
- Lacrymosa
- Lose Control
- Sweet Sacrifice
I think you forgot My Tourniquet, or how about What You Want?
What You Want would be cool. Tourniquet is not one of my favorites but that's just me.
@@Tanarandom I was just making a suggestion, Evanescence has WAY too many awesome songs for me to pick just one :)😅
You're right. Omg. They're so many good ones. I cant wait for the new album!
Honestly, I’d like to see you react to the whole Fallen album because it is genuinely outstanding. There isn’t a single song I don’t like.
Go deeper, go look at "Hello"...
At the time this came out, the social media thing was not a thing yet. So this was about the celebrity life versus normal life... How a person can be made out to have the world at his/her finger tips and still wanting to die when the cameras shut down... But it applies to almost all social media too. It is basically the same, but anyone can be the "fool".
They have also made a song about the pressures of life in "Lose control" (I think this was the title). It is a really well built song, just like a pressure cooker. It is a piece of art... That is another solid pick from Evanescence.
I agree with your comments and this was waaay before social media took off in a huge way. For me the most chilling scene in the video was her on the roof screaming at her own blown up image then go cold...he face totally closed down. That shook me because that was either self awareness or then end to finishing the bath tub drowning.
