I would say so. When you say female vocalist in a hard rock band usually most people have Amy Lee (Evanescence) and Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil) come to mind first. while I like both of these ladies pipes, I think Liz's are a little better. First off, I've never heard any of the other ones hold a note as long as Liz (In their one single called "The Eye" Liz holds a note for like 13 or 14 seconds near the end of that song). Secondly, Liz plays the guitar AND sings in all the songs when Halestorm plays live (she even used to play piano and guitar and sing a few years ago). Amy Lee plays the piano in a couple of songs but thats all as far as I know, and Scabbia I don't recall playing any instruments live. And finally the biggest difference to me-vocal range. Lee and Scabbia have pretty good high to low range but I think Liz bests them both in that category by a pretty good margin. and in "Takes My Life" I don't think there are a whole lot of other female singers that could pull those screams off (I'm thinkin Janis Joplin can but she's dead and not really hard rock music).
So what do ya'll think? or are there any other prominent female rock singers I have forgotten about?

Just seen Lzzzzy for the first time in york pa at the 'WaterWay Bar and Grill'. I am overwhelmed. I got a hug and a kiss and an autograph. These rockers are headed to large fame. kim (male) 717 757 6378 kimweir6@verizon.net

Ok... in my humble opinion Miss Amy Lee and Miss Scabbia don't even come CLOSE to Lzzy! Lzzy's voice has got that rrrrough edge that is needed for pure rock... and yes you forgot to mention THE important lady vocalist in rock : ANN WILSON... from HEART!

I was positively shocked when I heard Lzzy for the very first time... although I hate to compare but Liz can fill Ann's boots with ease...

HALESTORM... YOU simply ROCK! So glad that I've found you... still blame Jasin from Shinedown who pimped you guys like hell... Wink

Don't like to to compare people because it puts one or the other down. So I'll say what I always say:

"Sings as good as Ann Wilson and plays guitar as good as Nancy Wilson. She's flat-out MESMERIZING!"

nothin' flat about her voice but yes MESMERIZING...
oh yeh, she beats all with legendary rock screams and long notes comparable to Sabastian Bach. Oh and lest not forget hanging from the rafters while doing so... duly impressed with the voice, guitar playin' and the entire band getting into the drum solo! They outperformed Saliva in my opinion!!!
HALESTORM ROCKS for sure!

I thought the same thing of Lzzy's voice...cross between Amy Lee & Ann Wilson.
Lzzy has some amazing pipes! She and the band are gonna go a long long way!

In my opinion Amy Lee is overrated... and from the stories I've heard about her from people who have met her she's a real bitch. The first time I talked with Joe we talked about music and somehow Evanescence was brought up... and the only thing I had to say was "I'm so glad you're not Evanescence." Lzzy is byfar the most powerful vocalist... I can't really think of anyone that could compete with her off the top of my head, man or woman.


If it's just flesh then it's not enough.

I try not to compare and contrast them. As both an Evanescence and Lacuna Coil fan, Amy Lee and Cristina Scabbia have my utmost respect. I've had the opportunity to spend quite some time with both singers and neither one of them ever left me with anything but a very positive impression. The only similarities I see between LC, Ev and Halestorm (along with the myriad of other female-fronted rock bands out there) is that they have a female singing vocals. Lacuna Coil is closer to the gothic metal side of things while Evanescence is pop rock. Halestorm is...well, they're Halestorm. If you heard Lzzy do vocals on Broken and then listen to Amy do the same, you can tell that their vocals styles are so different that it's nearly impossible to compare them to each other.

I would say that. She dosent have the range of Amy Lee, but i would have to say Lizzy is better for she does Ballots, Thrash, and Metal all in the same show. she is absolutally amazeing in the different kind of music she can play.

I asked Lzzy about her range once and she has a 5 octive range which is huge! Amy Lee is a soprano and probably does not have the octive range that Lzzy has. Anyone who has heard her do Hallelujah and Oh Darlin know that she can go from very low to extreme high with her vocals. She sounds like the glass windows will shatter! Amy Lee can't touch Lzzy.

She is THE best rock artist SINCE Joan Jett and Janis Joplin!!!
And Ive heard her sing in Broken with Shaun from Seether and she blew Amy Lee away. With her rich tone and rawness, Lzzy was better at that song. UGH memories... *sigh* Smiler
