“OK, here comes the surprise. It’s gonna take a few tweets to tell you the whole thing.
Remember the Nightmare Before Christmas covers CD last year? They are making another one, this time its Muppet songs..
When they asked me if I wanted to do a song, I thought it was a really cool idea but I didn’t think there would be anything that fit me…
but right before saying no, I went online and listened to all the songs just in case anything sparked, and I found something…
so Will Hunt (guy I did Sally’s Song with) and I went completely crazy with it and it is really different and, I think, REALLY cool…
I thought it was going to come out this year but I’ve just been told its been pushed to spring, April I think…
so well have to wait a little bit for it, but I think its worth it. ;)
I’m really excited about it! I have one more surprise and its not so far away… :D
Stay tuned! Amy”

“Hey guys!
I can’t believe I’m saying this but…..
I’ve decided to try out the twitter thing. I think it might be a fun way to stay in touch better and I know I need to announce myself on here because there are so many other ‘me’s.’ My name on twitter is AmyLeeEv. I can’t guarantee I’ll have anything interesting to say but if you’re really bored and need a distraction, why not follow me? Actually, I think I haven an idea for my first tweet. How about I spill the first little surprise I’ve been holding onto? See you there!
love, Amy”

“And hey, just so you guys know, the album is the priority. Its all I’ve been doing this year and I am dying to put it out. The plan is to get it out next year, but it definitely wont be out by April, so this Muppets thing is just an appetizer till then. I know that telling you something is coming out in 6 months seems kinda lame because its far away but Im just really excited (and when I first said there was a surprise I thought it would be out within a month). I know it sounds crazy but the song is killer. That’s my opinion anyway, I had a great time making it. Alright. Going back to work…..
love Amy”

“Hey guys,
I know you figured it out already but I just wanted to say we are indeed headlining one of the three nights at the festival in Sao Paulo in November! We’ve had a few cool opportunities to play one-offs over the past year or so, and I usually end up saying no because I’ve been so focused on the new material and I don’t want to get sidetracked (organizing an Ev show takes some pretty serious time and preparation). BUT the writing has been going so well lately, and you Brazil fans are some of our best and craziest, we decided to just go for it! We wont be playing new material, its going to be a collection of songs you already know (new stuff will come in due time ). I also wanted you to know that this is not the suprise I was referring to- that is still coming, and it WILL be a little something new to hear . ….. I really love these little smily guys. And what the hell is this one ? It looks like a ghost that swallowed a hanger. ANYWAY, I’m really excited and a little nervous about the show- I’ve been my anonymous alter-ego for a long time! Mostly I can’t wait to feel that feeling again- completely swallowed by the music. I love you guys and I can’t wait to see you Brazil! We’re gonna have a good time.
love, Amy”
As always, thanks to EvanescenceVille for the head-up!

“Surprise… Hey everybody! Just checkin in.
There’s been a lot of writing going on this summer and I’m starting to get really excited. My good friend Will happens to also be a great producer, writer and programmer (lucky for me!) and we’ve been slaving away at some pretty interesting stuff lately… I’m not giving anything away just yet. Terry and I have been working together this week at my place just like old times and life is pretty good. I have a little surprise for you that I can’t spill just yet, but its coming soon and I can’t wait. I will let you know as soon as I’m allowed to! Talk to you soon! love, Amy
p.s. My favorite music right now: CSS, Depeche Mode (sounds of the universe)(’in chains’ especially), MGMT, MIA. -Wow. I just realized that’s a lot of initials…” Thanks to EvanescenceVille for this head-up!

What a strange and sad day. Michael Jackson was possibly the greatest (and definitely the most influential) artist of our time. He’s one of my biggest and first musical influences, and I know that to be true for many many people. I hope he’s in a better place and can finally be at peace. I feel like he was very misunderstood. I’m taking comfort in the fact that his music will live forever… – Amy

There’s some pretty weird stuff flying around right now and I’d like to clear up some confusion in the press. As our fans already know, Ben Moody left Evanescence in 2003. Evanescence came out with a follow-up to Fallen in 2006. It was called The Open Door and it debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts and reached platinum status in just over a month. The Open Door has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide. We’re currently working on new material that I’m extremely excited about. I believe that to make great music you have to give yourself the freedom to evolve. I don’t see the point in making the same record twice, so I always want to challenge myself to make something better, stronger, and more interesting than before. That takes time, but it’s worth the wait for me. Hopefully, it will be for the fans too. Look out for new music next year… -Amy
