'Idol' Rocker Joins Evanescence Offshoot


Irish rocker Carly Smithson, the 'American Idol' vet with huge pipes, has joined forces with members of one of the biggest bands of the decade, Evanescence. Smithson essentially replaces singer Amy Lee in the band, which is calling itself The Fallen.

Evanescence has slowly fallen apart since band members began leaving the group after their debut album, 'Fallen,' which has sold over 15 million copies worldwide. Lee put out another album in 2006, 'The Open Door,' but without Moody and other members. Smithson bears a striking resemblance to Lee, both in appearance and in their voices.
Smithson, who placed sixth on the seventh season of 'Idol,' says she's confident she'll succeed in the world of arena-style rock.
If you ask me I'd rather have the real thing that this apparent knock-off.  BRING ME TO LIFE!
