OK I was hoping someone would start a thread about this. I have to agree with Venom here. The Epica PP set was amazing to me. I wish to take nothing away from Amanda as she is a real pro with a great voice, however I have to say that I was very disappointed with Epica's set with sym X. I personnally think it was a huge mistake to tour without Simmone. I'm sorry but as far as I'm concerned the band that I saw was not Epica. Even though Amanda in a lot of ways has a better voice and is more polished then Simmone, for me the magic was gone. There is something that Simmone brings to the table that Amanda can never reproduce. Once again not taking anything away from Amanda's talent, but for me it just didn't work...at all. I know what you're thinking, it is absolutely NOT about the look factor. I was accused in another discussion about this; that the only reason i feel this way is becasue I was comparing Amanda's and Simmone's looks. Please don't think that I am this shallow. It is 100% not about the looks. Like I said before, without Simmone, the magic for me was gone. Sorry but I have to say it. It just didn't work for me.
