The original by Evenescence was brilliant, but a bif heavy for Katherine to pull off.

Hi everyone

Yes agree with some of the members,the song will have to grow on us but its early days and a few more listens will make a difference!

I need to hear it over and over again!
I'm just waiting in anticipation for it to be released for download or something.
I think it's so beautiful!

It sounds amazing, a great preview of the new album. I recorded the programme on my dvd recorder so listened when I got home.

Oh my goodness! I heard it on the video on the main page! I didn't even realise it was Katherine singing at first! So shocked! I think it's amazing though! I prefer it to the original song.

Hi Dazza

Let's hope so, after a few listens I am sure you will grow to like Katherine's version and forget about your sister brainwashing you with the original.

Good choice with the Marmite, I love it to!

All the best
Graham

PS: Good luck to Stoke tomorrow against Chelsea

Hi Graham,

'Kiss from a Rose' is probably my least favourite Katherine song. Also from Rejoice, 'I Will Pray For You' intitially always reminded me of Fairytale of New York, which I quite like anyway but after a few plays I soon stopped making the connection.

Hopefully a similar scenario will happen here, after I have listened a few times I will think of 'Bring me to Life' as a Katherine Jenkins song without thinking about the original.

I love Marmite :D

Hi Dazza

Sounds like the sister is to blame here then mate! :)

Must admit, I didn't particularly like the original version, Katherine's version is much different. I suspect that this track may be like 'Kiss From A Rose' on Rejoice, which divided opinion on the forum. Personally, I loved Kiss From A Rose.

A bit like Marmite, I guess you either love it or hate it! :)

All the best
Graham

Hi Everyone,

I have just listened to it and I am not sure about it yet, I am sure it will grow on me though.

The problem I have is that I really disliked the original version by Evanescence, partially thanks to a sister who played it non stop around the time it was out. If there was a topic on worst songs ever it would be safe to say that 'Bring Me To Life' by Evanescence would be quite high on my list.

Listening to Katherine's version her voice was beautiful and the opening lines haunting, but even with Katherine singing I just kept thinking of the original and half expecting it to break out into gothic metal rock at any time.

Hopefully this will be a grower.

Just had a listen and I have to say I was rather surprised!!! Not what I was expecting at all, but I think it is absolutely terrific!!!

Well I must say that was rather good!

I enjoyed that on first listen, let us see what happens on the second, third........etc

I've heard the track now and I think it will appeal to Radio 2 audience

It has a certain something for sure

Many thanks to everyone for the telling me the time it was played

Euan — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:12:26 GMT

Thanks for noting where it was on Iplayer :D

I think it's much better than I thought it would be. :D I think the original was slightly better although I have heard that many more times. I'm sure like Katherine's cover of 'Kiss From A Rose' I'll get used to it more and more.

David_S — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:36:33 GMT

Ooh, that's nice. I have to admit I initially had my doubts about this one!

For those looking for it on iPlayer, it's 1 hour 14 minutes in.

steveyg — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:21:07 GMT

Just listened to 'Bring me back to Life' on iplayer. Certainly different from the original and I'm impressed how she has been able to alter it to more suit her style. Perhaps it's best to take this track on its own merit and not compare it to Evanescence's original which is a lot sharper with darker undertones. Certainly a song to appeal to the mainstream and one that likely will grow on me the more times I listen to it

Hi Steve
Thanks for that. Not that I'm biased, of course, but I prefer KJs version. Not really my taste in music though.

John
It went out at pretty well 0845

Hi Steve,

I too eagerly await iplayer! Can't wait... agghh!!!

Hi Karen,

Glad you got to hear it 'live' as it were - (we were on the school walk!) you did well to wake up if you were posting so early this morning as well!.....

Hi Tricia,

I agree with your comment via Karen totally, 'Wow'!, says it all doesn't it? I love it already and can't wait for the album even more now...

HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL rendition of " Bring me to Life" on Radio 2

I LOVE IT.

I could not see when it was announced how Katherine was going to sing this I could not see outside the box !!! but as I loved the original song I was a bit worried. But Katherine for me NAILED IT.

From what I have heard on the front cover shoot background music Katherine has made a brilliant rendition of "Bring me to life" a far more gentle and beautiful lyric

Euan — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 19:53:06 GMT

I will certainly listen tomorrow. From the small bits I have heard it sounds promising. I love the original song so hopefully Katherine's version will be just as good :D :D :D

Should be interesting to hear it fully tomorrow. I've been wondering how she can change such an iconic song into her style without losing its impact and whether there will be someone talking over it as in the original.
