On Emilie Autumn

Last night, I discovered a YouTuber who is severely disenchanted with Emilie Autumn for quite a few good reasons (though I admit she has several misses herself). Though I'm glad there's another fan (she still likes Emilie Autumn, the same way I like Evanescence but not Amy (not anymore)) who is brave enough to say that Emilie Autumn can't sing. There are only a couple of songs where she doesn't go off key or over-the-top.

Still, I like what she stands for, and even though this other fan is quick to point out inconsistencies of Autumn's statements (and calling her a liar at one point), somehow I still want to believe that Autumn is a strong, intelligent, and talented person who represents Wild Woman: intuitive, sexy, and vicious when she has to be. Though she definitely goes out of line once in a while.

However, I admit I'm having second thoughts about her that I might not get my fictional characters to be fans of hers. But that's just a thought. After all, I remain an Evanescence fan while I can go out of my way to call Amy Lee a poseur.
