With Evanescence On Hiatus, Amy Lee Open To New Opportunites

After undergoing numerous lineup changes, Evanescence released "The Open Door" to critical acclaim back in 2006 and it only took a few months for the album to be certified platinum with over a million in album sales. Lead vocalist Amy Lee, who remains the only original member of Evanescence, continues to express her creativity in other projects and outlets while the band continues their hiatus from the road and the studio. In fact, Amy Lee revealed one of her dreams as a young girl, besides being in a rock band was to score music for films. So can Lee's fans expect to see her scoring films in the future?

Video clip :

Artisan News caught up with Amy Lee to get her thoughts on her dreams of scoring films.

 Amy Lee Has Dreams Of Scoring Films In The Future

"I would love to do some scoring, I would love to be able to get into that. That's been a big dream of mine as long as this has. I don't know how long the break's going to be or what the music is going to be like, but I'm definitely open for a cool opportunity to come up."

Lee continues to stay busy outside Evanescence as she recently sang a remake of "Sally's Song" for the soundtrack "Nightmare Revisited," which contains new material and covers of songs from the original "Nightmare Before Christmas" soundtrack from the film by Tim Burton. Rumors have been circulating that Lee is currently writing songs for a solo album, but as of press time there is no confirmation if Lee will begin her solo career or head back into the studio with Evanescence.

Yeah, I bet she'd like to have a cool opportunity 'come up.'

Too bad nobody can work with her for longer than a year.

[SuckItAndSee]

This is just another way of saying "Hey if anyone needs a new lead singer I'm available."

It was bad enough that KORN themselves did Freak on a Leash acoustically - but what she did with it was even worse.

[gareno]

shes probably so stuck which is why all her members quit haha jk, but she doesnt seem like the type that would do scoring to me

[Paul DB]

Although I love it that the guy beside her cracks the tiniest smile when she says 'scoring' :L

[jacobbirdy128]

shes a cow *thumbs up*

[AEnima18]

cristina scabbia, annette olzon, tarja = all better than her in my opinion. her voice isn't THAT good in comparison and she seems like a bit of a b1tch to her bandmates tbh.

[DString]

Wow, a lot of folks are not happy with Amy. She has never did anything bad to me, may be she is a little headstrong and wants her way, but a lot of artists are that way. Her voice is ok, I have heard better, and a whole lot worse. She wants and expects perfection, whats wrong with that. I have been to their concerts, which by the way were good compared to most. I listen to other artists, my girlfriend likes her so I have to listen to Amy sometimes, but it's not too painful. Give her a break folks.

Nobody becomes famous by playing nice!

[Gothikum]

**** you all folks!
you don't know anything about music and voice technics and as a specialist I can scientifically affirm that her voice is ok as well as her live performance is great. I don't wanna talk about the technical side of the albums cos' it's a very high quality and it will take me ages to deal with it!
Amy has a very large voice range and she's working hard to use it (not like Tarja singing always the same way)and does well with her concerts (not like the scandalous annette olzon that was fired from nightwish)
so SHUT UP ignorants

EXACTLY! I'm also a singer and I'm fed up with all the ignorant, sexist comments made about female band members, especially on the atricles about Amy Lee and Evanescence as a whole. Thank you. Freakin high five!

I wouldn't say her voice is opera. More like powerful. In comparison, an opera voice would be Nightwish's Tarja.
