2.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth It, February 16, 2004

By	Dustin Gonzalez (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This CD contains 3 versions of My Immortal (the orignal, the band version that is currently being played on MTV, and a live version from Cologne). In addition to that they also include a live taping of Haunted.

The differences between the original and the band versions of this song are very minute. Basically, in the band version the guitars and drums kick in right before the last chorus and only stick around for approximately 30 seconds. And considering that this is such a soft song, the live version isn't much different from the original either. However, the live version of Huanted was pretty good. But I wouldn't say that it makes this CD worth it's price.

If you already own Fallen, then this might not be the Evanescence CD-single for you. You might want to check out their Going Under Import CD-single. That one has a great Nirvana cover of Heart Shaped Box and is, in my opinion, worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Immortal Rocks!!, April 10, 2005

A Kid's Review

My Immortal is close to my favorite Evanescence song (Immaginary is creeping closer). When I first heard this I had it playing in the back of my head and one of my close friends had gotten hurt and was crying a little - so I had the lyric "When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears" stuck in my head. Now I can sing it all the way through on my own. Lovely song. I don't have this single, but I do have Fallen and I love each song.

5.0 out of 5 stars Immortal, February 24, 2005

By	ericmusicguy - See all my reviews

This song took me completely by surprise. It saved Evanescence from one-dimentionality. This song is the most unabashedly poetic and heartfelt piece of music played on the radio in years. The magnificent orchestra arrangement heard on the album version, Amy Lee's hauntingly beautiful and mourning vocals (which are basically an F-U to everyone who says she can't sing), and the subtle, yet piercing, emotion in the song all prove how good Evanescence really is. Any doubts I had about them were obliterated upon hearing this song. By far the best song of 2004. If you don't have the album, buy this. It has the "Band Version" which is basically the radio edit, and the beautiful album version, which is even more gently haunting. In a year of countless, horrible songs played constantly on the radio, Evanescence released a song that was actually that, a "song". And a damn awesome one at that. Go Evanescence!!
