Isn't she just....... and that isn't even the best picture of her

In fact I couldn't even choose a best picture...... I have too many to choose from......


Her best pictures in general are her live ones.... because thats Emilie in her element

Spoiler:

Not only is she gorgeous physically, but everything she produces is equally as gorgeous.




And now I feel I should actually stand up for her..... because clearly a lot of you happen to like putting her down.
First things first..... if she sang 'normal' music?

Why, pray tell, should she sing music, that she clearly doesn't WANT to create just to please other people?

Emilie Autumn - What If
^^^^
are you trying to tell me that what you are hearing there is NOT a good voice?

The woman's range is outstanding, and she uses it a lot better than most of the wailing screeching diva's we have in the mainstream world today, I'm talking your typical Mariah Carey, Leona Lewis and Christina Aguilera

Other examples:
Castle Down
By The Sword
Marry Me
4 O'Clock
God Help Me


Need I go on

Secondly.... someone mentioned something about being a 'jack-of-all-trades' and then her being a 'master of none'
Excuse me... but.... wrong:

Leech Jar
Revelry

Both instrumentals and both entirely composed and recorded by her..... no one else did anything on those tracks... everything you can hear there (and on everything else she releases) is done entirely by her.


And honestly.... you've heard, like, what? One live performance from her?

Watch these and then tell me she can't sing:
God Help Me (Live) (not the best quality but it's alright)
Gloomy Sunday (Live acapella) (In a bathtub.... how fun)

Although... none of you will ever have the full effect of her voice because... let's face it... none of you have seen her live

I'm not even going to into the ALI PROJECT comparison..... since they are barely similar (plus Emilie is several thousand times more talented... and this is coming from a fan of ALI PROJECT)

Now that's a total ripoff of Tori Amos' Silent All These Years if I've ever heard one.

Yes, that is exactly what I'm trying to tell you.

Are you delusional? I seriously think you are.

Are you?


What If is no where near a rip-off of Tori Amos's song (yes I've heard it)

The lyrics are completely different.... did you only mention it because both songs say 'what if' in the chorus.
The tune is completely different as well. In fact the only thing they have in common there is the fact that there's a piano involved.
What If is a song full of irony.... the lyrics are genius and they make you think, her voice is stunning.
It is powerful, unique, interesting and completely unedited.




The simple fact is... is that the woman is talented... more talented than the majority of the music industry today.
Her vocals range to downright bizarre and extraordinarily beautiful. she can go from screaming at you in one moment and lulling you to sleep in the next.

What other artist can do that?


It seems to me that you people just don't want to like her and so you won't give her a chance.
Perhaps if you were a little more open-minded to her music......

I'll try and disregard the fact that you clearly know absolutely nothing about the technical aspects of music. That was made blatantly obvious when you said Emilie had a better range than Mariah, etc. Do you even know what an octave is? And don't answer that after you look it up on Wikipedia. Just know that Mariah can sing in about four more of them than Emilie.

I listened to Emilie's music. I previewed her entire Opheliac album on iTunes and watched multiple live performances on Youtube, but just didn't see what's great or even original about her. To me she sounds like every other Hot Topic, Nightwish-wannabe out there. You have to accept that not everyone is going to love her, and that they aren't close-minded simply because they don't enjoy her music or see her talent.

Btw...

Björk, to name one of many.

Björk, to name one of many.

First of all I didn't say she had a better range than Mariah, I just said she uses her range better... she doesn't have to start wailing in the middle of the song to prove that she can sing in a higher register.... so I'll disregard everything in that paragraph

Secondly..... well you're just..... wrong... to put it simply
You are trying to tell me that a woman who can play at least 6 different instruments amazingly well, who can composes entirely original songs and who writes every single songs she brings out isn't talented?

There is something wrong with that statement!

I don't care that you don't love her.... it's not the fact that you don't love her that's annoying me... it's the fact that you are completely disregarding the fact that she's talented.... and yes it is a fact.

I also said if you were open-minded to her music. I can tell that you've gone into her music with a negative mind and from that you aren't going to like it.

And yes, okay, Björk is great.... I know this, I've like her since I was 4 years old.

And where the hell did you get Nightwish from.... now they really don't sound anything alike...... seriously..... what.... the ..... hell

I think you are just about the only person I've met who can seriously sit there and tell me that Emilie isn't talented.


And you're still wrong.....

[bondingo]

Talent isn't a fact, hun. And you might wanna reread my posts before saying I ever said she didn't have talent. I said I don't think she has a good voice and that I don't like her music. Not once did I say that I personally think she has no talent.

And I'm wrong because I disagree with you? Why do so many people on this board live by that standard?
