※ 引述《Manstein (exposure)》之銘言：
: Carly 將會和 Gothic Metal 團 Evanescence 的四個前成員 Ben Moody,
: John LeCompt,Rocky Gray, and Marty O'Brien 組成新團 "The Fallen"。
: 首張單曲 Bury me Alive 最近可以在官方網站 Wearethefallen 免費下載。
: 非常恭喜，這應該是最適合她的位置了，刺青也可以不用遮了。

找了一下相關消息的曝光，這篇把一些脈絡介紹了一下.....



先是樂團的部份，簡單說就是 Moody 覺得應該要繼續玩。

Recently, however, Moody contacted his former colleagues. "How do you feel
about looking for someone to complete our family and to finish this thing?"
he said he asked them. "It feels like everything with our old fans is at a
standstill. There's not new music, there's no tour. There's nothing.’ So
I reached out, and everyone was just ready to get started.”

“We began looking for our soul mate, which we were scared was going to take
a long, long time,” Moody said.



卡莉的部分感覺比較可憐，原來她一直被別人說"你不適合唱搖滾"，
所以決定放棄那些合約。

Smithson's post-“Idol” journey, meanwhile, had been rife with uncertainty.
Though offers came for recording contracts, all attempted to place her in
the pop world, away from her natural hard-rock roots.

In an interview Tuesday, she said: “I kept getting told that 'you don't have
the rock voice, you can't do rock music.' But it's everything I am. It's
everything I listen to. I'm not the regular girl next door.”

Months after the seventh season finale, Smithson was preparing to turn down
what offers lay on the table. She said: “I thought I was making a huge
mistake. But I'd rather make a huge mistake than be miserable in something I'd
regret for the rest of my days.”



至於兩方接觸的契機為何，其實答案很簡單：卡莉在巡迴上唱了 Bring me to life。
而這首歌一直以來，都是想要應徵主唱的人，選來唱給樂團做 audition 用的。
Moody 看到之後非常感興趣，而卡莉和 Moody 有共同的朋友，於是立刻牽上線。


總之結局就是這樣，卡莉成為新團 The Fallen 的主唱。
官方網站 http://www.wearethefallen.com/ 快要正式啟用了，
Man 大說可以在官網低調單曲，應該再過幾小時就會出現。

另外從這篇報導看來，The Fallen 似乎不打算立刻錄唱片？
好像要先巡迴，然後再慢慢開始錄.......希望我沒看錯。
這樣也好，彼此熟悉之後才會有更棒的作品，期待 The Fallen 的表現。




從卡莉參加 AI，一開始被捧的高高的，然後在表現絕佳的一周被淘汰，
賽後發展也不是很順遂， 一直到現在總算有了相當硬的後台可以靠.....
我的感覺只能用這篇報導的最後，Moody說的話來形容：
"Everything is so much less uncertain and everything seems poetic."


祝這個團能順順利利，希望屆時台灣買的到他們的唱片~
