#mater dolorosa ? so pretty it hurts

You'll never find a bitch more obsessed with catholic imagery than a former catholic, bonus if Italian.

It's me I'm the former catholic. And I'm Italian, a southerner even.

We've seen Simone Simons from Epica bangear, jumping, kicking Mark Jansen's butt, less singing live decently ... aunt Simone, you with her red hair flaming and a live velvet voice can not maintain the quality of the songs nor in a acoustic?

It is certain that Simone is not that thing .. but in the good, comparing her with Tarja and Floor does not give. All three have their own personality, there is no standard for perfect vocalist. Not for Floor, nor for Tarja.

But, I do not care much that Simone defers frequently. I'm not the one to pay her bills, after all.

I agree with everything. Simone appeals a lot for sexuality and forgets to have some singing lessons.

Simone sings very badly. Can not sing nor the easiest songs without tune all the videos I've seen until hj and look are 6 years being a fan I never saw a video that was more than average. And there are no excuses for that, time is no excuse for her lack of talent, which only came up in life because she gave to Mark, if it was not for him she would never have left the church choir, and you fans of the unformed who do not know She sings from the age of 16 and has nothing to do with time but with talent. She does not really have any comparison and even cowardice compares it to Tarja and Floor because in a thousand years she will reach that level only if she is born again, But there she runs the risk of not being so pretty (and will not have to promote herself), studio effects camouflage her lack of talent, she's just an ordinary singer, she does not even want to judge her much, but the Fanatic fans of epica are a fuck, they think that only she can be fucked in the epica community, there are a lot of these little fucking things or you can not attend, I'm afraid even though I've seen many fans being expelled for little things. And blablabla .I agree with you friend. This is not envy is reality vcs boring fans do not want to see the truth besides not having talent is lazy does not study gives this ai.Although you are beautiful Simone. I really like you but if it was not for the beauty factor you were screwed. I wanted to see if you were fat and ugly would have so many fans. I am not against using beauty to promote myself, but to think that this is the only solution that suffices in the musical life is even ignorance. To err is human but depends on who is wrong.

I completely agree. I watched that recording in the studio and found her voice absurdly perfect, but every time I watch a video of some epica show I'm disappointed. Like, PRA CARAMBA. And take into account my lack of knowledge about singing, but it almost hurts in my ears and I get to feel shame to others. I thought it would just be in a certain song, but no, I saw other videos and it was the same thing. It does not even work for Simone to sing live, I'm sorry, but in my opinion it's very rough. She should do well-crafted singing lessons to see if her performance improves.

Look, I love Epica and I find them a great band. Mark Jansen is a very good composer, who in my opinion is the one who "holds the bar" not Epica. Massss, the whole development of mistakes or ends up an alienated idiot. It's not what you know, it's not the best thing. I've seen countless live videos and she's slipped a bit, judging by the length of time she's studying, it's not for the event. Until it's normal, everyone has already made a mistake. And another detail is that she should have a little more presence on the stage, she is not talking about beauty and charisma, but the attitude of the one who sings metal, even if it is symphonic, it is necessary to sing sometimes with emotion in The expressions, sometimes with aggression, finally This whole thing every good vocalist needs to know. They are going to take me away if I did, but I agree with what was said, Floor Jansen on a stage does not have anybody, Simone should take this position too.

And before anyone criticizes my opinion, I study lyrical singing and theater, so I know very well what I am saying.

I have seen this matter now and although I am already late, I have to comment. Simone sings wonderfully well, but I do not know what happens, live she sucks! I've never been to a show of it, but I've seen VARIOUS and the countries are canados. I think Simone cares too much about looking beautiful, wearing huge heels, tight clothes with like which I do not even know how she breathes, doing headbang but singing that is good, nothing. And what tragedy is a Simone killing himself at the Unleashed B5? Then she still posts that she can attend a C # 6, maybe she would get it if she did a preparation, it seems like she does not get ready to do the show.

Tarja also misses a few times, but not as much as Simone. Amy Lee misses a few times too is not great expected, since it's not for a second, I'm surprised to see that I can still breathe, let alone sing. For me the best is a Sharon Den Adel, and I do not even like it as much as in Temptation, my favorite band is Epica, I know Simone sings VERY well, so I should prepare a little more to sing live. To say that she sings badly is always a lie, she is singing Stabat Mater Dolorosa not The Classical Conspiracy was a shiver, and I wanted to know why she does not sing well always. The G5 she shot at Stabat Mater Dolorosa was wonderful, if she did the same thing singing the end of Never Enough I would be happy.

I think it's ridiculous is this little guy here talking about "Do it better then, sing better than her." This is a fan of filthy music, no one needs to have a musical background, sing perfectly to be judgmental and judge others. Grow up

1 PLACE: Beauty. 2nd PLACE: Body. 3rd PLACE: Voice. This is the reality of Simone Simons. : P

But she's right, Simone does not sing very well. I think she should go to the lyrical singing classes and stop buying so many cosmetics lol. I do not think it's envy, Simone is a bit out of tune, people who do not understand music say that she's envy. Compare Simone's voice with singers of the same musical style as hers, they put Simone in the slipper. Floor Jansen sings a lot, Tarja then neither compares, both reach a very high note and are soprano, Tarja for example reaches if I am not mistaken 3,8 and is lyric soprano spinto (very rare), Simone is mezzo soprano (too common ) And reaches 2.5. I found Simone to be very talented, until I saw videos of her on a live show, even church guitars where I went to pre-adolescence sing more than she did. And I thought she was very beautiful too, until I saw her before fame and without makeup. And it's not to be jealous of Simone because she's beautiful and so. She is rich and can be beautiful because she has money, I've seen a photo of Simone before the fame, not even close to what it is today. =) She is not hot, she is magrona, has no chest, has no butt, is thin without curves. See http://twitter.com/#!/SimoneSimons/media/slideshow?url=http%3A%2F Who I think is too beautiful is Amy Lee, oval face shape, perfect, very thin nose with very clear gray eyes, more beautiful without make-up than with.

Actually Simone has given some holes, the voice is not so good live, but you can not compare a mezzo with soprano voice, it's totally different and however common it is, it's harder to develop a voice like that because of the region Of passing the voice from chest to head, and it is exactly at that point that it has out of tune. For the sopranos the story is different, the treble is easier, etc ... Besides the musical style may be very close, but the way of singing of these three singers is quite different.

I arrived more than 2 years late here, but like the above colleagues, I will give my opinion about Aunt Sisi. I follow Epica to 6 years, I'm not a number one fan, but I like them a lot, they are young, with a talent and charisma that will surely go far. However, I must say that their vocalist always bothered me about something. In the studio she is divine, beautiful voice, looks like a velvet, but live ... is not more than a medium singer and sometimes bad, unfortunately. Is it difficult to sing with the troubled life she must have? It sure is difficult. Is it normal to err, to tune out? Of course it is, everyone is subject to this. The problem is: Simone is out of tune, and I have the impression that she does not try hard to sing, hold the notes, hold the pitch. Looks like he's afraid to look ugly in the pictures! Watch live videos (or even photos, of any good singer), most of them in some parts appear with a face and mouth bigger than a black hole, the abdomen a trunk of so firm, all this to articulate, Support, control breathing, sing well, a posture I rarely see Simone assuming. It's okay to dress up and look beautiful, after all she has what to show and she's a woman, I know what she's like, but I feel she gives more importance to the corsets (how can she breathe in there?), High heels and makeup That to hold that note to not tune out. Long life, she's beautiful inside out, she does not need all that. I once read in an interview given by her that people should hook up more to her voice and see her as a good singer than to appear. Forgive me, but this is not what she shows on stage, quite the opposite! And to the bunch of hypocrites who are pretending to be deaf, I doubt if she was a little girl, skinny and chubby and who defied so much, I bet they were all throwing stones at her. I really like the band, I even went to a show I had here in SP in 2010, but the fact that I like it does not make me alienated, just like the girl above said. Anyway, go study, Sisi. You can, just get out of the corset.

Really. The strange thing is that now the performance of Simone is increasingly degrading (at least live). She makes a supernatural effort to achieve reasonable shades. Singing Quietus at the show here in the past, gods ... It was ashamed. Oh, I really like the Epic band very much, and I think Simone's voice is beautiful, just for the record. Not at all, I should note that, presumably, Simone pays more attention to cosmetics, looks and the like than to the position she represents as the lead singer of the band. And that's taking into account that she has plenty of time to perfect her vocal abilities! Maybe if I spent time training more, instead of taking pictures, things would change, lol. Well, congratulations on the text, it was straightforward and coherent 🙂 (it's even funny to see the adolescent fanzinhos paying off the fans using the "jealousy" kkkkkkk tragicomic).
