I think she sings really well. You can't expect her to sound just like Lacey. She sings in the right key and hits the notes right, that's what's counts when you are a musician.
I agree with many below, Lacey's voice is stunning, really!! BUT, Kristen is really talented and meets the surprisingly large portion of her part as a singer in the band! '' Can not stop love Flyleaf, never''!!
come on guys, I know this wasn't actually great, but I'll still give her a chance when they release a song with her originally on vocals. We'll just wait and see.
She sounds good but her voice is more pop which will take getting used to. I don't think she is bad but there is just something about Lacey that when she sings you feel everything,she moves people because she's a story teller whether it's her song or not. She gives people hope and helps you understand other's pain and strength; not all singers can do what she can. I think people will just always miss what Flyleaf once made them feel, there is no replacing that.
Okay. I'm pretty sure it was said that Lacey said SHE announced SHE is leaving the band. They didn't tell her to leave or anything like that. SHE wanted to. She wouldn't want you hating Kristen for her leaving the band. She gets along with Kristen just fine, go watch other videos with Kristen explaining it. Why do you hate? Her voice is fine. Lacey wouldn't appreciate it, so why do it?
Wow, alot of negative comments about Kristen, but I think her voice is beautiful, and she sounds almost exactly like Lacey, I think she was a great choice to take over the vocals and continue the band, her voice is very comforting and smooth, Lacey's gone, but I will still follow this band, she didn't annoy me at all, Kristen is HOT
If you love Lacey so much why watch her replacement? If you sing this song, does it not mean anything because you didn't write it? Have you walked through this persons shoes to say she doesn't feel anything when she sings this? Doesn't this song relate to god? Who are you to judge? I love this acoustic version and I love to sing this.
Wonderful job!!!! She is still getting used to it so stop being mean and think if you were in her shoes, you may have a hard time adjusting too. Shut up and support her.
Wait until they sing new songs with her own sound. I like her. I favor Lacey but I still like this girl to. You're not gonna get the same sound. If she wanted the same sound she woulda never left
I would hold off judgement until they make new music with her lyrics. Right now they are singing Lacey's songs and there is no way she is going to live up to Lacey when singing her lyrics.
Give the girl a break. She decided to take the lead vocals and that makes her brave knowing that she probably was going to get hated for it. I respect that she put herself in that position. Shame on you Flyleaf fans. Going away from what Lacey taught in her lyrics.
I wonder why I don't like her, maybe it's because I'm too attached to Lacey and this doesn't have the same feeling(Lacey is a huge inspiration to me) I wish Flyleaf the best though, too bad I couldn't like her voice more
I personally like when Lacey sings this song because she actually has exerperienced the lyrics of this song.. Lacey was not just singing it.. Lacey was singing it was meaning.. And the new vocal singer is just singing it. It kinda ruined the song for me.. l:(
I'm really sad Lacey go, she was one of the best. Kristen seems like a pretty ok singer but she can't just sing Lacey's songs, all your going to do is compare her and Lacey. Lacey is incomparable and cannot be beaten. I will wait to judge this chick until she sings her own songs.
She's good but it does sound like someone doing a cover of flyleaf's song..maybe when they write new stuff with her it might sound better...and we won't have heard Lacey sing it first so we'll have no comparison.
Us come on, Kristen diet write the songs, you expect her to emit the same emotions Lacey did???? When Kristen starts writing her own songs you'll see her emotion, you didn't even give her a chance, your saying she can't sing??? She sings better then most of you do, so before you judge her give her a chance, the only person who isn't here is Lacey e rest of the band is still there, if the drummer left would any on you care??? Real flyleaf lovers love the WHOLE band not just lacey
she is singing songs that were meant for lacey voice. im not going to judge until I hear a song meant for Kristen's vocal strengths. but all and all she seems like a good singer just needs to move to new material
She looks like she's trying to remember the words in her head, she even messed them up at the end. You know why?? BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WRITE THIS SONG! Honestly the thing that bugs me the most about this is that Kristen is singing Lacey's songs. Her songs that came from her heart and pure emotion, and then Kristen just turns it into a pop cover. If they really want to carry on, find a different name and write DIFFERENT SONGS. Stop butchering Lacey's songs.
It doesn't even sound like Flyleaf anymore. She's not...bad, but I'm far from fond of her voice. It's....really annoying. And while I really REALLY miss Lacey I'm not just saying that to spite Kristen.
