People very often tend to forget that there's more to an artist than just sounding great. Daughtry took an existing song, put his voice in it, and nothing more. It takes A LOT to make a GOOD song from scratch. It's so easy for people to say "Daughtry's version is better", but the coverer does 5% of the work, and still get ranked above the original artist.
Evanescence is my favorite band and I didn't think anyone could even hope to adequately cover this song but Chris hit it out of the park and tore the leather off the ball! I'm not shocked by this though. Chris Daughtry is by far the best male vocalist in the industry. Not an opinion, straight up fact!
@@jagalasso agree he killed it by ruining it, the vocals are soo pitchy, the wrong key, even if he was making it his own, it should have a 2-octave shift, he is going 1 and cracking his vocals, he missed the growls and didn't hold the pitch. so disappointed by such a great artist
@@dubayyuae8696 exactly... some of the people commenting on this have no idea what they are listening to. I cant blame them though, we live in an autotune pitch correct time now.
As much as I love the Evanessence original, this version has so much raw emotion to it. You can hear the pain in his voice which makes it all hit just that little bit harder. He made a cleaner version of this for his album but this live version will always remain supreme in my opinion as it shows so much passion and makes you almost sympathize and feel sorry for him.
I've been a fan of Daughtry for a long time, and never knew this existed. Chris has a beautiful, unique voice that is amazing to hear. Amazing cover. 🤘 🖤
I think his version is way better than Amy's. Chris' version doesn't have a dark spirit like Amy Lee's did. Instead it showed more of the internal struggle that Judas had
Astounding performance - never realized that Chris Daughtry's acting skill could match his vocal skill. The Passion - the entire televised event - was gripping. Such a Savior we have... no words to describe my gratitude.
Chris daughtry's version of this song still gives me chills. I love seeing singers who sing from the depths of their emotions. His performance made the role more realistic.
+Francois DuJour Unfortunately, only the songs performed in the "on stage" area were actually live. :( The fact that the scenes from the Jesus and disciple numbers were used in the previews and that during the video for the song Home there's an "earlier" sunset than where Tyler Perry was show this. I love how they used all the songs though. :)
I agree the live versions are better than the studio versions, they're more passionate and raw. I downloaded these live versions as well as the studio versions, I'm good now.
Chris Daughtry's version is more intense in emotion while Evanescence's is sort of softer, sadder, and bittersweet. Both are excellent. I like Chris Daughtry's better though.
i feel the emotions in daughtry as he is singing this song....not just an amazing performer....He is a true Christian and know the battle we all face every single day.....LOVE YOU CHRIS....may God be with You always xo
almost every Judas was portrayed as angry and vindictive; however,for those who know the story, they should be asked: WHY DID HE KILL HIMSELF, if he was a? this portrayal clearly shows how torn apart Judas was, if not more so.
+Joey Roberts Agree ... bought the MP3 single of this and Daughtry's other performance, Demons ...and don't think I have ever replayed a songs as much as these two. Never tire of them - they are incredible both quality and meaning.
The meaning they put into these random songs is amazing. You can always find biblical meaning in everything... It makes so much sence for him to feel this way after betraying Jesus. Just wow.. ❤
@@johnnymac4842 if he does then it will definitely confirm his identity. Would be awesome, but I want to see him play smart. Then again, what do I know? There's already more than enough clues that points to him. Fun fact: he is married with children.
@@MustB3Nic3 Listening to him sing this, along with the mystical or mysterious mood of the song is like listening to two separate personalities singing within one voice. It is odd that you would post because I was thinking of this exact version recently.
Daughtry's performance was awesome - he killed it! "The Passion" performers were all amazing! Loved the contemporary retelling of a classic, it was very moving...
There are few artists who could deliver a song like Chris Daughtry delivers it. This song, this performance, this moment. They were meant for Chris, and he knew it. I am truly undone. Wrung out. Inspired beyond comprehension. What a force he is.
Chris is amazing!! He really needs to think about getting involved in a Broadway Musical, one that is emotionally fueled and passionate; much like how this Passion Play was. It really blew me away and felt his performance resonate in my heart. I was nearly brought to tears over his part as Judas...
I just recently saw this musical and this song done by him stopped me cold. I felt this register deep into my soul. An awesome rendition of this song especially with the back story it is linked to.
+Valerie Esque Yup, I ordered my CD on Amazon the day after program....the entire soundtrack is amazing, can't wait till it gets here!!! Hopefully tomorrow :( Or like Dylan Curtis said, on iTunes!!
Not only is this a killer version, it fits the moment exceedingly well as Judas struggles with his schizophrenic self. I love how Daughtry drifts back and forth between the light and the dark in this video.
This is one of the most tremendous portrayals of Judas, in my opinion. Daughtry was brilliant. The Passion is the wisest DVD purchase that I've ever made. xx
What I love about the passion is how they gave each of the characters more story to tell just by a song ( Example; Demons, With Arms Wide Open ) this song is one of my favorites and has been since I was in elementary school, I'm now going to be a senior in high school and love the song more than before. Now I just have a deeper appreciation for the song, I love Daughtry and aspire to be able to tell a story through song just like he can one day he is very talented.
Daughtry made this cover his OWN....EXCELLENT!!!! So much talent, incredible range , love daughtrys music, all of it...loved" Demons" as well....great job Chris......great job..👍💕
Amy is kinda sick of this song though. Because it’s a song that’s she’s expected to do and play live at every show since it first came out. And she’s redone this song quite a few times that she doesn’t feel close to this song anymore even though it’s the song that got her famous.
This song works perfectly for the context of the story, because Judas is singing to Jesus in this scene. "Only you are the life among the dead' fit so well, because it's so accurate.
He should really make a new song or album the way he rocked this song. The singing, acting, vocals... Just awesome. So wish he made a song of his like this.
He sings the song with so much emotion that he actually made want to cry. I don't cry very much at all, so the fact that he almost brought me to tears says a lot.
this is honestly the best cover i ever seen of this song he managed to take this song and make an entire different meaning out of it. i am not a Christian but i loved the way The Passion was made

Daughtry does NOT get the recognition he deserves!! Listen to his voice!! EPIC!!!
Nowadays, rockstars *never* get the recognition they deserve.
It’s dangerous for me to listen to Chris Daughtry’s covers, most of the time I ended up liking his covers more than the original versions! 🤓😛

this is not one amy lee still moves me more
Omg. I was thinking the same thing!
Season 2 of “The Masked Singer” must’ve been dangerous territory
Can't deny that.
Am I the only one that noticed you can tell he really feels everything he sings
You aren't the only one who thinks this. He totally killed this song 💖
Anthony Calloway that’s the spirit of a true singer anyone else are just out for the money
So passionate. That what makes him so good.
This song was done for The Passion: Live
He played Judas, whom betrays Jesus.
Amy's version: lost love
Chris version: finding truth
WOW....thats interestin...never thought of it that way
Wow that's interesting never looked at that this way.
Agreed
This performance is from Jesus Christ Superstar....he is singing to God....literally
this cover is judas singing to jesus for betraying him
@@Zephr238 this puts a whole different spin on the character.
As a hardcore fan of evanescence, he just killed it, this is awesome
Evanescence is my favorite band and I didn't think anyone could even hope to adequately cover this song but Chris hit it out of the park and tore the leather off the ball! I'm not shocked by this though. Chris Daughtry is by far the best male vocalist in the industry. Not an opinion, straight up fact!
No he ruined it
@A M not at all... That sucked compared to Evanescence... Totally sucked
@@jagalasso agree he killed it by ruining it, the vocals are soo pitchy, the wrong key, even if he was making it his own, it should have a 2-octave shift, he is going 1 and cracking his vocals, he missed the growls and didn't hold the pitch. so disappointed by such a great artist
@@dubayyuae8696 exactly... some of the people commenting on this have no idea what they are listening to. I cant blame them though, we live in an autotune pitch correct time now.
I wish we all heard the duet of Chris and Amy for Bring me to life!
I know what I want for Christmas this year.
Yes!
It was pretty good but would have been better with 12 Stones frontman doin the rap part.
That would be amazing
My ears will not be able to handle that level of epicness

He made a cleaner version of this for his album but this live version will always remain supreme in my opinion as it shows so much passion and makes you almost sympathize and feel sorry for him.
Chris played a great Judas and this song just made it that much more special
I was totally TAKEN when He sung this! It is hard hearing a male voice singing this song but Chris didn't miss a Beat. He was Magnificent!
Jai McDowel does a version that competes with this one in my opinion. This one and that compete for my favorite male version.
I want a Daughtry/Evanescence duet to happen so bad! This is the closest I can get to that, so it makes my heart Happy.
Much better than Amy Lee
@@ashleywyatt9647 I agree with you
Now this is how Daughtry's music should sound. Gotta love this rock style! Any cover of any song he does is awesome!
As much as I love all his music, I really miss him doing rock.
I agree, Daughtry is rock, but I love his voice and style so I like anything he sings lol
Juliana Garcia ya well just wait until his fifth album comes our
Out
Yeah, I'm already excited about it.
He perfectly captured Judas' turmoil and inner struggles in this whole performance. Chills! ! !
Allison Johnson couldn't agree more
I agree
Amen
Did you know he was a music worship leader back in NC 2006
I've been a fan of Daughtry for a long time, and never knew this existed. Chris has a beautiful, unique voice that is amazing to hear. Amazing cover. 🤘 🖤
Same ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊
How Chris covered this song was absolutely amazing. His interpretation was beautiful. Love this version just as much as Amy's version
+kapparhotau181 If you heard Daughtry's version of Demons, originally by Imagine Dragons .. you may find it equally incredible, I know I did.
I think his version is way better than Amy's. Chris' version doesn't have a dark spirit like Amy Lee's did. Instead it showed more of the internal struggle that Judas had
kapparhotau181 totally agree

+Linda Newton AMEN!!!!!!!
Linda Newton Amen!
It's not real you fucking clown 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh my God, this is INCREDIBLE! Chris Daughtry did this song justice!
Even if you don't like the words of the songs, or his "style", you have to admit this man has a powerful voice, very talented.
Very true
And to think, Simon said no.
Tj Benson he said no to Tori Kelly too. Guess what? Lol
So much for "not a lot of charisma"
Be glad he didn't win. I find those who do, don't make it. Only Kelly has
Don't forget about Carrie Underwood.
Yeah worst decision in the history of any of those kinds of shows. It all started when Simon was pissed off that he sang that Creed song.
Chris Daughtry is such an amazing singer, Jesus his vocals are out of this world-he truly sing from hardcore and lot of emotions.
Chris daughtry's version of this song still gives me chills. I love seeing singers who sing from the depths of their emotions. His performance made the role more realistic.
how did I never hear this cover till tonight!!!...AMAZING Daughtry...you did evanescence proud
I think the live version is more intense than the studio version. Absolutely amazing. One of the best male vocalist of today.
+Francois DuJour Unfortunately, only the songs performed in the "on stage" area were actually live. :( The fact that the scenes from the Jesus and disciple numbers were used in the previews and that during the video for the song Home there's an "earlier" sunset than where Tyler Perry was show this.

misterTVman where do get the live versions to download
the crack in his voice at the end adds even more emotion, I love it
This man just has one of those voices that keeps you from listening over and over never get enough ❤😊
Chris Daughtry's version is more intense in emotion while Evanescence's is sort of softer, sadder, and bittersweet. Both are excellent. I like Chris Daughtry's better though.
He's going to f****** slay whatever he does in the finale on The Masked Singer.
Me too Chris Daughtry all day😁
That and evescence background vocals sounded almost demonic.
Rainbow Wilkes and Chris’ is powerful
Yes, his version is much better.
I am very critical when someone tries to cover an Evanescence song, as I am a die - hard fan. But this totally blew me away.
He made it his own. Not just copying Evanescence/Amy Lee, as many others try to do
Same. I love them too. I also love chris and I wasn’t disappointed in this cover.
He did an amazing job... He looks like he is in agony.. This is emotional, and I can't stop watching it
damn daughtry he covered it brilliantly, i feel so heroic while listening this, i get such an adrenaline rush
it's 2019 and I still love it
It's nearly 2020 and I'm in love
ahmed salah I wish this had gotten out on dvd!
2022 and will never get old
This is just perfect, God bless you Chris!
+Heisenberg You're Heisenberg...
+Heisenberg lol
I agree 100%, he’s an amazing singer and he nailed the song
He's the one who knocks
This scene is so powerful, I can feel the tension and darkness Judas/Daughtry is having in this scene. The guilt and rationale is so powerful!!
Chris never disappoints!!! He's a badass, and his voice is amazing!!! ❣️ 2022
i feel the emotions in daughtry as he is singing this song....not just an amazing performer....He is a true Christian and know the battle we all face every single day.....LOVE YOU CHRIS....may God be with You always xo
I can't get over how amazing he sounds right now. I love his voice in general, but wow.
can't stop watching the video's of this just so much emotion put into every song great job from all the cast
amen!!
almost every Judas was portrayed as angry and vindictive; however,for those who know the story, they should be asked: WHY DID HE KILL HIMSELF, if he was a? this portrayal clearly shows how torn apart Judas was, if not more so.

Lololol this is the exact voice of The Rottweiler in The Masked Singer 😂😂😂😂😂 it's him 💯
My guts are screaming "Chris Daughtry".
Juliana Wong That voice is unmistakable!
Yup wife and I said the same thing!! Maybe he’ll sing this song!
@@johnnymac4842 if he does then it will definitely confirm his identity. Would be awesome, but I want to see him play smart. Then again, what do I know? There's already more than enough clues that points to him. Fun fact: he is married with children.
That high note he hits at 2:27 😍😍
agbeachgirls3 I’ve seen him live many times and he hits it live so much and so well! Gives ya chills!
This song and Demons always give me chills when I hear his voice. Such a good cover.
Kat Sensei true. That's one of the best covers of that song that I've ever heard.
Daughtry and Evanescence’ should seriously make an album together that be awesome 👏
Is this even human?
My GOD!!!😍
Initially I ignored the song because of the mellower first half, but I was wrong. The singer has the vocal power to enhance the song.
Tony63909 Chris Daughtry is great.
You must have been new to Daughtry lol.
he can sing any song..any song
@@MustB3Nic3 Listening to him sing this, along with the mystical or mysterious mood of the song is like listening to two separate personalities singing within one voice. It is odd that you would post because I was thinking of this exact version recently.
You must be tone deaf :P There is so much power and raw emotion in his voice its insane!
Man I got chills. What a cover!
One of the only singers who could cover this song this well
DAUGHTRY IS..... dont even have words. I LOVE HIM. Everything he sings makes it seem like its his song to begin with. I get chills everytime
Daughtry's performance was awesome - he killed it! "The Passion" performers were all amazing! Loved the contemporary retelling of a classic, it was very moving...
One of the best covers I've ever seen, congrats Chris Daughtry
I love everything Chris Daughtry sings. Stopped watching Idol after this season.
He had so much passion when he performed in the special. I like his music.
There are few artists who could deliver a song like Chris Daughtry delivers it. This song, this performance, this moment. They were meant for Chris, and he knew it. I am truly undone. Wrung out. Inspired beyond comprehension. What a force he is.
never pictured a guy singing this but he killed it. amazing play
Chris is one of those artists who can sing someone else's somg better than they could themselfs
He did castle on the hill better than Ed Sheeran I think
@@teganjordan903 I disagree on that one though.
While his version is beautiful and powerful, it's not better than the original.
@@halko1802 I think it is
I came here after The Rottweiler was unmasked on The Masked Singer🐕
Same freaking here
Ha ha, me too.
I'm so mad I didn't recognize that voice!
@@AuthorSquared Seal, who was The Leopard on The Masked Singer, was also on The Passion along with Chris Daughtry as Pontinus Pilate
thanks for mentioning this i am gonna go watch it ♥
Chris is amazing!! He really needs to think about getting involved in a Broadway Musical, one that is emotionally fueled and passionate; much like how this Passion Play was. It really blew me away and felt his performance resonate in my heart. I was nearly brought to tears over his part as Judas...
I'll never be able to hear any of these songs again without thinking of the show. A-MAZING!
holy wow i had no idea he covered this song till now, thank goodness for playlists that youtube makes for you, this is just amazing!

Daughtry and one of my all time favourite songs!!!! Pure PERFECTION!
The control Chris has with his voice is amazing so underrated
Not only is this a killer version, it fits the moment exceedingly well as Judas struggles with his schizophrenic self. I love how Daughtry drifts back and forth between the light and the dark in this video.
I've watched it at least a dozen times so far and I still get goosebumps. Chris's voice is amazing and his performance was outstanding. Simply EPIC!
+stephanie meeker completely agree!!!
This man could sing any song out there and make it sound just as good if not better. Now that's talent!
Daughter is love, spirituality, and soul.
We ate blessed to hear him. Blessings to you and yours Sir Daughtry,✌❤👼
Another Powerful Song Chris can really show what a powerful range of voice he has.
THE GREATEST! He deserves an award for this performance! Perfection.
No one could have hit this song more spot on.. Thank you so much Chris
This is one of the most tremendous portrayals of Judas, in my opinion. Daughtry was brilliant. The Passion is the wisest DVD purchase that I've ever made. xx
What I love about the passion is how they gave each of the characters more story to tell just by a song ( Example; Demons, With Arms Wide Open ) this song is one of my favorites and has been since I was in elementary school, I'm now going to be a senior in high school and love the song more than before. Now I just have a deeper appreciation for the song, I love Daughtry and aspire to be able to tell a story through song just like he can one day he is very talented.
always loved the lyrics to this song. So grateful Chris decided to sing it. Great emotional and talented performance.
I never thought a modern retelling of Jesus would work like this but it really did!! I was so impressed!!!
Just love this version. I've listened to this over and over. Sung with true emotion.
That Voice
That Passion
That Talent
Wow!!! Wow!!!
I can't stop watching this. It gives me the chills. I just don't have words to explain how great Chris is with this song.
Best performance in the show
i likes demons
Rian Alexander what show
Didn't think a cover would come close to the original..... This one does.
Daughtry is criminally underated.
Daughtry made this cover his OWN....EXCELLENT!!!! So much talent, incredible range , love daughtrys music, all of it...loved" Demons" as well....great job Chris......great job..👍💕
He absolutely KILLED this!!!! so dope!!
How am I just now hearing this? Ive been a fan of this man for many years!!!
Same!
Right! Me too!
I'll never forget watching this for the first time on the live broadcast....blew me away
I can't stop replaying this. It's so beautiful.
Fuckin epic cover, Chris and Amy Lee should sing this together.
My thoughts exactly! I was to comment the same thing. Chris and Amy should sing this together!
Chris and Amy?!? The world would not be ready for such epicness. But on the good side, my ears would die from perfect happiness.
Amy is kinda sick of this song though. Because it’s a song that’s she’s expected to do and play live at every show since it first came out. And she’s redone this song quite a few times that she doesn’t feel close to this song anymore even though it’s the song that got her famous.
@@kristinemissy It was written for her husband who then was just a friend
@@mayflowerwolves5444 I knew that
2021 and this is just amazing. Daughtry was so good in the passion. His covers are just as good if not better than the originals.
2023 best as ever ❤❤❤ Chris daughtry
This song works perfectly for the context of the story, because Judas is singing to Jesus in this scene. "Only you are the life among the dead' fit so well, because it's so accurate.
Awesome job Chris Daughtry . Love it.
This is by far one of the best covers ever! Amazing!
anything he does is amazing
daughtry is awesome. i got to meet his mom, dad, brother, and grandma at one of his concerts. it was awesome.
Such a powerfully emotional performance! I always get chills when I watch this!
Love this version. Also bringing back so many memories. I haven't heard these song in years.
Another job well done, Chris Daughtry has a magical voice. He can do almost anything with it.
He should really make a new song or album the way he rocked this song. The singing, acting, vocals... Just awesome. So wish he made a song of his like this.
I'm so happy this is the first male cover of Amy lees songs that was actually amazing
I hope The Passion will be shown again this year. Fantasic music!
Chris Daughtry looks like David Draiman's less angrier brother
Dillon Haggett ROFL!
Dillon Haggett ,. I agree!!
Dillon Haggett You beat me to saying it by nine months lol. Then again, I just now heard of this awesome cover of such an awesome song
Honestly, I can get behind this statement
Yes haha
He sings the song with so much emotion that he actually made want to cry. I don't cry very much at all, so the fact that he almost brought me to tears says a lot.
this is honestly the best cover i ever seen of this song he managed to take this song and make an entire different meaning out of it. i am not a Christian but i loved the way The Passion was made
