<![CDATA[								<p>	Occasionally, late at night, you find yourself stumbling upon all kinds of random, fun, and interesting sites and/or blogs. A lot of times, you stumble upon a blog that has a lot to say about a certain band, or musical artist. 

</p>
<p>

A lot of times, even if you're just on 


<a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com">YouTube</a>


 watching a music video by that particular band or musical artist, you find yourself in the middle of a heated discussion between many people on that particular band or artist, because one person made a nasty comment, that some people backed up, and other people straight up flipped out about because it was either not true, controversial, or was true, but they just didn't want to admit it because it would make that particular musical artist seem like something that wasn't even really that worth while. </p>

 <p>	More often than not, though, the nasty comment that began the pointless brawl was untrue, to the point where hundreds of people got involved.

</p><p>

 For example... I happen to be a very big fan of Evanescence, and more specifically, Amy Lee. And I'll go on youtube, watch a video, and then read the comments. And, of course, there's some dramatic event occurring that has completely gone off the subject of the video, and it appears that all the people involved have completely forgotten that they are on youtube and not in some late night chat room. </p>


 <p>	One of the most interesting ones I've ever witnessed was someone going around on every video of Amy Lee on YouTube and declaring that she was "fat" and "ugly." Now, for starters, if you're going to try to dis a musical artist, you better make sure what you're saying can be backed up with facts. 

</p><p>

Saying that somebody is fat and ugly, especially someone like Amy Lee (I'm not being biased here, Amy Lee just isn't your typical 80 pound Hillary Duff, and that's what makes her fat to certain people, I guess), is just a waste of time, and it doesn't even really matter if they're fat and ugly, because it's really all about the music. </p>



 <p>	But then of course there's the topic of Amy Lee completely and utterly sucking at singing live. Which is occasionally true, because singing live is not a piece of cake, it's hard work to sing over blaring instruments and in a very large stadium where you can't hear your voice well at all. But apparently, very few people on the internet, and even in real life, can understand that fact, and tend to go off, once again, on internet blogs and on youtube about how horrible she sounds.

</p><p>

 Nobody sounds amazing every single time they pick up a microphone, sometimes they're having an off day. </p>


 <p>But my favorite part of the entire fight about the band or musical artist, is when, somehow, politics gets involved.</p>
 
 <p><STRONG>Candygirl914</STRONG>: AMY LEE IS FAT AND UGLY!!</p>
 
 <p><STRONG>Marcus45</STRONG>: NO SHE ISN'T!! I BET YOU'RE A BUSH LOVER!! </p>
 
 
 <p>	What does being a "Bush lover" have to do with anything...? I suspect they think that's a direct blow, a serious dis, if you will. </p>


 <p>	But anyway, Evanescence is one of the bands that a lot of people really do enjoy starting fights about. Occasionally, it's a fight worth having, if you're going to leave the Bush loving comments at home, and is in the least bit civilized. 

</p><p>
Most of the time, though, the opposing side really can't get that far, because when you're talking about a band that has a fanbase of over 16 million, most of which are extremely temperamental teenage girls, you're going to get a lot of bullshit for saying anything besides ?Evanescence is great, and Amy Lee is really talented.? 

</p><p>
And, for the record, you don't have to like Evanescence to know that Amy Lee has some hardcore talent going for her. </p>							<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.musicouch.com%2FGenres%2FPop%2FWhy-You-Should-Leave-Evanescence-Alone.71861"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.musicouch.com%2FGenres%2FPop%2FWhy-You-Should-Leave-Evanescence-Alone.71861" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
