Is not bad..but it seens over produced to me..overdone in the studio if I was to say..I dont see any resemblance with Evanescence´s Amy Lee..her voice is more natural..and clearer than Maria´s and the music doesnt hold similarities at all..As much as I would like to support Maria I cant seen to like this..the lyrics are far to generic..they scream disney type audience to me..is not something I would listen to..I enyoy meaningful songs with some good words…is just the type of words that will fit perfectly in some Disney Princess´s movie..but I think they will fail to capture a more mature audience…though I guess is a great replacement for the Jonas Brothers..lol.

It sounded decent enough to me. I would like to hear the whole song though.

Are my ears deceiving me? Because that sounded horrible.

I guess I’ll wait and see what Mickie James is like.

Omg, I really can’t see the comparisons you guys are making with Evanescence. I respect your opinions, but sorry, I dont see similarities at all.

Evanescence has a completely different type of sound, since the use of piano’s to violins, and way better guitar riffs. And the lyrics are so not Evanescence also. This sample of the songs, shows really basic lyrics. Amy’s lyrics are way more complicated, with amazing metaphors and words that some people might need a dictionary to understand. This as nothing to do with Evanescence: not in the musical composition and not even in the lyrics. Not going to mention the voices, because fortunately no one said that Maria singed like Amy.

Well… at least her voice isn’t her bubbly pitchy voice she gets when she is playing “dumb downed” maria.. better than I expected. A lot of auto tune though.. which is a shame.. I’ll have to hear more to judge if it’s “good” or not lol, or my “taste”

Sounds overproduced to me.

By: shannymac

shannymac — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 17:15:42 +0000

Not bad. I really can’t judge much from a thirty second clip, and her voice isn’t really my cup of tea, but it at least sounds catchy.

@Zephyr5326 – Agreed, in regards to the music. I wanted to say “not the voice” but didn’t. I love Amy Lee’s voice. :)

By: Zephyr5326

Zephyr5326 — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 16:34:50 +0000

@ Resi and Johnny: I was going to mention Evanescence too, yet didn’t want to compare Maria with Amy Lee, but I suppose it’s the music that sounds like Evanescence and not the vocal.

By: Lady Sheamus

Lady Sheamus — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:41:39 +0000

Saying it’s 80s is not a bad thing, though. :)

By: Lady Sheamus

Lady Sheamus — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:40:40 +0000

It’s so 80s to me, in a way (the strains of the chorus), though I love the 80s! If she puts her music on a Twilight soundtrack she’s set. This in particular, though (not necessarily the genre), is not my cup of tea BUT I’m all for a person living their dream! :)

She’s my least favorite diva but I have to admit this is pretty good she sounds kinda like Evanescence.

By: Cryssi

Cryssi — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:07:12 +0000

I’m pleasantly surprised. It sounds like the type of music I listen too. You go Maria!

By: C-Ray

It’s not half-bad. It will be interesting to see if this translates into musical success.

By: DarkMaverick87

DarkMaverick87 — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:24:28 +0000

this was definitely auto-tuned (meaning her pitch was tweaked)… and she kind of swallows her sound… I don’t know… just some criticisms from somebody who has studied music for most of his life

still… definitely better than what i was expecting. good for her

yeah i have a habit of doing the same thing XD

I apologize to. Sometimes I sound kinda harsh unintentionally xD

By: theregoeskitty

theregoeskitty — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:05:32 +0000

oh no problem, after reading my first comment it sounded rude so i apologies for that

By: Ana_Nattie_rules

Ana_Nattie_rules — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 14:00:13 +0000

I hasn’t stressed, I just has making my opinion even more understandable. Its not like I’m having a discussion, don’t worry xD. I usually don’t do that. At least not in the internet. I don’t like to have dramas over nothing.

By: theregoeskitty

theregoeskitty — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:54:19 +0000

um i didn’t put “words in your text” as you put it, i simply said that it doesn’t sound like paramore at all, no need to get stressy

By: Ana_Nattie_rules

Ana_Nattie_rules — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:48:50 +0000

If you had read correctly, you’ll see that i wrote that it sounded like Paramore but with a POPISH voice. So I wasn’t comparing Maria with Haley, I was talking about the music itself, not the voices.

So don’t put words in my text, or in this case don’t ignore great part of what I wrote.

By: theregoeskitty

theregoeskitty — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:29:32 +0000

@Ana_Nattie_rules sorry but if you think that sounds like paramore you must be tone death or thinking of someone else, the lead singer in paramore has a powerful voice unlike maria

it sounded ok, it was hard to hear her

I LOVE this!

Better than her karaoke, but still awful.

By: B Fizzle

Her voice was obviously edited, but still, even that can’t save some people. (Can it, Brooke Hogan?) I can’t speak for everyone, but I know I was expected bad and ended up being pleasantly surprised.

By: Beauty Killer

Beauty Killer — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 12:17:10 +0000

It’s okay, better then I expected, but I just don’t like it. Her voice sounds overly autotuned and messed with way to much effects, and I could barley hear her. The music seemed to be louder then her voice.

By: Ana_Nattie_rules

Ana_Nattie_rules — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 12:15:43 +0000

People…voice’s can be EDITED. If the cd voices were the real ones, we wouldn’t have that much people doing lip singing.

I kinda disliked it. It sounds like Paramore with corny lyrics and to popish voice. But I’ll wait for the whole song, to do a better judgment.

However, I admit I was expecting an avril lavigne vibe, so she gets a point in that. She actually surpassed my very low expectations, but is still not my time of songs. Guess the only WWE singer/band I will heard is Fozzy and…Fozzy.

Diva — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 12:05:10 +0000

I heard her doing karaoke once and she was way worse than that…Still,she hasn’t an impressive voice…However not bad ;)

Let me say I am VERY VERY impressed.

I echo everyone else’s sentiments, that was much, much better than I expected.

Even if I don’t like Maria; that’s not so bad ! Better than what I was expected

By: Jason

I was expecting to cover my ears for a second, but its really catchy. Now I’m excited. Though regardless of how bad it could be I’ll probably buy it anyways just to show my support.

By: B Fizzle

B Fizzle — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:25:34 +0000

OMG I actually like that.

By: Resi

Resi — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:23:43 +0000

Not too bad, im gettin a serious Evanesence vibe mixed with a bit of Hilary Duff and thats a good thing. Im very interested to hear the rest of the album.

By: Zephyr5326

Zephyr5326 — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:04:31 +0000

Her voice is better than I expected for sure, yet what she was saying couldn’t reallly be heard over the loud music. Sounds more Emo/Rock than Pop/Rock yet good luck to her, that snippet wasn’t too bad.
