Natalia Tsarikova’s Rendition Of “My Immortal” Captivates Dedicated Evanescence Fans

Natalia Tsarikova, an opera singer originally from St. Petersburg, Russia, pursued her passion for music by studying Opera in Milan before settling in Finland. There, she launched a popular YouTube channel where she delves into pop, jazz, and rock genres, showcasing her versatile vocal talents.

One of Tsarikova’s standout performances on her YouTube channel is her haunting cover of Evanescence’s “My Immortal,” which has garnered an impressive 4.7 million views, making it her second most-watched video. The song, penned by Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody with contributions from singer Amy Lee, portrays the haunting tale of a lingering spirit unable to let go of a lost love.

Covering an Evanescence song often invites scrutiny from the band’s dedicated fan base, who staunchly believe that Amy Lee’s vocals are irreplaceable. However, when Natalia took on “My Immortal,” she was pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming response. As the views and comments poured in, it became evident that she had struck a chord with audiences worldwide.

Natalia’s version of “My Immortal” not only showed off her singing skills but also proved she could interpret the song just as well as Amy Lee.

One notable comment from a fervent Amy Lee admirer, Walter Legere, left the top comment saying, “You have achieved something that I really thought was not possible”. Your version of My Immortal was not only brilliant but also very close to the original in every way. You literally killed it.”

Another added, “Only those who have a lot of talent can make a beautiful interpretation like this. Natalia manages to put her soul in her corner and gives us this beautiful song, gratitude!”
