Bob, first of all, you have no idea if I have seen a Crystal show or not. And I never said that people don't go see her because of her long hair.

With that said, maybe the long hair got her attention 30 years ago when she started out, but she hasn't had a hit since Reagan was President, and her hair length has nothing to do with record sales, or lack thereof. She is a very nice singer, quite unremarkable, except for her long hair. One pretty voice out of hundreds, no more, no less.

Agreed Hal!

Makes me(with my little short hair fetish) look downright saintly!

My two cents.

Crystal: Way better hair

I would hope more people enjoy music for just that, MUSIC!

Yes Amy Lee is gorgeous, (and so is her hair) she sounds fantastic in the studio, (thanks to Pro Tools) However, she is a bit lacking as far as concerts go, I haven't read very many positive reviews about her performances. What I have seen on eMpTV as well as other awards shows I agree. With the departure of her songwriting partner Ben Moody, the future of Evanescence is very unclear. She can look absolutely angelic with that long hair, if the music stinks on the next Eva release her looks won't save her career one bit.

Another long haired beauty in a solid band, with great songwriting would be Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil. Lacuna owns Eva in regards to music and live performance. LC has been unfairly compared to Eva since the "Bring Me To Life single. LC features a male vocalist in most of their songs that's the reasoning for the ridiculous comparison. Cristina is beautiful and she has the talent to back it up. Live she is an amazing and entertaining singer.

I choose my music on the merits of musicianship, songwriting and live performance. Looks are secondary as they should be with any true music fan.

This is my signature. It's not a very
good signature, but it's a signature
nonetheless.
