Shes great because she was the vocal training of Simone on Epica and of Floor with After forever. It's like the creator of them style of singing of Simone and Floors
Amanda is amazing! I Just discovered her by watching her project with Exit Eden. Their cover of ''Paparazzi'' blew me away. Floor has been my favorite singer for years so I'm now dying to hear them duet together
@newfrontier45 I agree, she is gorgeous. She has a perfect face, lovely long hair and a sexy voluptuous body. Sadly our society has become brainwashed into accepting a very narrow perception of physical beauty. And yes,let us not forget best of all her beautiful voice.
A big THANK YOU to those who have filmed these vids with Amanda !! It's been 4 years since she sang with them, and nowadays I constantly watch these videos, and dream about her being in this band :')
I see a lot of people on here claim that Amanda was Simone and Floor’s vocal coach, which she was. However, she did not teach them to sing like some seem to insinuate. I heard her in a podcast interview where she talked about this. She said that because English is not Simone and Floor’s first language, and because all their songs are in English, she basically helped them out when it came to singing certain pronunciation. I thought that was pretty interesting
Of course she did, she’s producer and she has in charge many bands like Epica, After forever, Luca turilli, rhapsody, and she teach the voice even male voice how to aboard the metal with classical music, obviously Simone and Floor has such a great talent to sing classical with pop
"She has a weight problem" Excuse me, but I think it's the people who say things like that have some problems, not her. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, and she's also a great person, and obviously a wonderful singer. Didn't mean to insult anyone but please think before you say something.
Amanda is actually Simone's vocal coach so it was fitting for her to fill in while Simone is recovering from an almost fatal infection...and does an awesome job too!!!!
people comment on &judge her stage presence &performance, when 99% of them WEREN'T EVEN THERE. the audience have a much more phenomenal experience than a little youtube clip. it's how you make the audience feel. as for vocals, it's not my domain on knowledge, but they both sound fantastic. simone is skinny, amanda is voluptuous. and amanda is not fat! i find her incredibly sexy and i'm a woman for god sakes. she did them an enormous favour and did a mind-blowing job, so just shut the hell up!
@Lokomuz She's not just a 'substitute girl'. This woman is Amanda Somerville. She actually taught Simone Simons, so it follows that she can easily perform Simone's songs.
Amanda has a fantastic voice and on this tour she was totally superb[check out her videos of it]- - bear in mind only a handful of singers could 'fill in' whilst Simone was ill and it is obvious she commands great respect from not only this band but many others - in fact Simone has been taught by her Amanda Somerville she rocks :)
Good to hear that Simone has not left the band like her brother! I can live with the fact that she is ill, and will recover! And "Yes the band is ALL ABOUT" the lead singer! For if you have a lousy voice leading the instruments the band will fail! SO GET WELL SIMONE AND WILL BE WAITING TO HEAR YOU! out for now!
It is not human nature. It is what one is fed through the media. If there was no media your stated opinion would be much different. People are fed to believe that women who are not built any way but slender, are not pleasing to the eyes. This is what is being preached. If fuller women were in the spot light than these slender women, everyone's view would be different. She could have a healthy life style, but this is just how she is designed. For the record, she has an amazing voice.
@celticyodels I saw them during that tour down in Fort Lauderdale. She did a very good job filling in, and the way she headbanged during Obsessive Devotion....MY GOD.
Wow... that was a lot better than I thought it would be. Listening to Amanda's solo stuff on her MySpace, you wouldn't think she has pipes like that. Epica is still Simone though!
That was a greac pick. I'm glad they got her to fill in for Simone. The know her have worked with her she is Simones Trainer. This will only help Epica. Well that and being on tour with Symphony X is not half bad. This is really going to help Epica in the US and Canada. So when Simone is back it will not be as hard to tour in the US and Canada.
While Amanda is not gifted with the amazing voice Simone has, she makes up for it in technique. I think Amanda Somerville is the most skilled female singer in symphonic/progressive/power metal. The amazing vocals she can pull off with her (frankly, rather ordinary) voice is astounding. Not to mention her songwriting and compositional talents. Wish i cudv caught this tour.
Vaya! Excelente, muy parecido el nivel vocal de ambas, claro que con Simone se escucha mejor, pero es la perfecta sustituta temporal... VIVA EPICA!!!! \m/
Alisson Bryan what?! 😂😂😂😂 you only say that because Simone has her vocal range higher than Amanda 😂😂😂😂 Amanda kicks Simone Ass 100 times... she has better training... she did this performance amazing... but if Simone was the one who sing in this live... would be awful... ;)
I would never say fat. Id call her curvy. I intend that as a compliment. And god what a voice. Ive been in love with simone since her first days on the scene, but i an likin this woman quite a bit, kudos to her and all her accomplishments.
Amanda is so criminally underrated. She is one of the greatest singers of the genre. Love all her projects!❤🔥

Perfect!! Amanda sing perfect great technique!
She was the trainer of Simone and Flor.

Just finding this for the first time today. I have no problem with her - Beautiful woman. Hell of a voice.
She is so fuckin hot. Her body is amazing.
I just come to say that I adore amanda's body, since the first time I saw her

Wow, Amanda does this so great.. :D
Thanks for sharing!

They couldn't have picked a better substitute for Simone. Amanda is simply fantastic.
jajaja es muy buena! nunca la había visto cantar en vivo suplantando a simone

Reemplazo, ya que por esa época Simone estaba muy enferma.

Amanda Somerville she rocks :)
Amanda rocks!
Wise, these words of thee... I'd merry her, because she's a wonderfull woman, in all the ways a woman can be.
Good to hear that Simone has not left the band like her brother! I can live with the fact that she is ill, and will recover! And "Yes the band is ALL ABOUT" the lead singer! For if you have a lousy voice leading the instruments the band will fail! SO GET WELL SIMONE AND WILL BE WAITING TO HEAR YOU! out for now!
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank You. bunces! I love you for posting this, and for the ubergood quality :)

An extremely talented artist and vocalist.
I sure wish I was here! This would have been an amazing concert. ^_^ Amanda is very talented, you guys shouldn't even be insulting her!
she is so talented in my opinion I wish I could she epica with amanda !!

Amanda will be Epica's next singer ;) you'll see!

Amanda Rox!!! But off course we miss you Simone! Get well soon!
Simone who?
bringing samantha is spite of cancelling the tour was a good idea!
esta mulher conseguiu me colocar definitivamente em duvida de quem canta mais..
Wow, this was actually better than I thought *_*. Amanda has a incredible voice, but of course we wan't Simone back ;)
LETS HOPE NOT!!! And lets stay positive!!
Great!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amanda Sommerville was her teacher. She is actually her teacher...
@celticyodels I saw them during that tour down in Fort Lauderdale. She did a very good job filling in, and the way she headbanged during Obsessive Devotion....MY GOD.
Wow... that was a lot better than I thought it would be. Listening to Amanda's solo stuff on her MySpace, you wouldn't think she has pipes like that.
Epica is still Simone though!

I think Amanda is a very good singer and replacing very well to Simone while she's sick .. she's doing a very good job .. Congratulations!
Vaya! Excelente, muy parecido el nivel vocal de ambas, claro que con Simone se escucha mejor, pero es la perfecta sustituta temporal...
VIVA EPICA!!!! \m/
Oh, Gosh! Great!! Simone need learn a lesson with Amanda
Really? Simons is so much better than her! Her voice is like a heaven to my ears!
Alisson Bryan what?! 😂😂😂😂 you only say that because Simone has her vocal range higher than Amanda 😂😂😂😂 Amanda kicks Simone Ass 100 times... she has better training... she did this performance amazing... but if Simone was the one who sing in this live... would be awful... ;)
Amanda is already her couch
Amanda sings beautifully, but Simone is the face of Epica.
yes Simone live make anyone cry
amanda
She's pretty good, great choice for the band as a replacement.
A really great performance. I know Simone is proud.
@astrolifter I respect that. I haven't heard much of Floor singing, but I think I'll listen to some of her songs now.
people!!!! she is pretty and has amazing voice. she looks like a woman should be.
Friend:
You have this show Full???
a hug
I would never say fat.
Id call her curvy. I intend that as a compliment.
And god what a voice. Ive been in love with simone since her first days on the scene, but i an likin this woman quite a bit, kudos to her and all her accomplishments.
She said that to the organizers of the concert in Mexico, after having cancelled the second show.
And she's aina creator too
she is the vocal trainer n song co- writer for epica...so she as good as simone...:)
she did at my concert
