Paula Cole (born April 5, 1968) is an American singer-songwriter. Her single Where Have All the Cowboys Gone? reached the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1997, and the following year she won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Her song I Don't Want to Wait was used as the theme song for the television show Dawson's Creek.
In February 2009, Amy Lee duetted with Paula Cole during a concert on Long Island. There is no recording or footage of the performance. During her concert that night, Paula sang two covers with Amy Lee ("Old Man" by Neil Young, and a traditional Appalachian song, "Green Pastures" by Emmylou Harris). Paula posted a message on her MySpace about Amy:[1]

Just wanted to mention how lucky I’ve been to get to know Amy Lee. I remember the moment I heard her voice (while at a spin class feeling the hate and then that VOICE delivered me!) Well, come to find out she’s a great heart and a music geek like myself (!)We’ve bonded a bit in friendship and music: we found ourselves discussing and loving songs, trying ideas together.
I love the intensity of our two voices together. Really, it’s quite the energy-vitamin shot. So, I had the fortune of her presence at my last show in Long Island. We sang a couple of covers (Neil Young and a traditional Appalachian song). Loved it, loved it, loved it. Thank you, Amy, and hope there is more where that came from. |

The meeting with Amy deeply affected Paula who even quoted her in a 2010 interview:[2]

I’ve read some of your influences are Stevie Wonder and Tina Turner, but is there anyone that has blown you away in today’s pop scene?
As far as voices go, Ray LaMontagne blows me away. Oh and Amy Lee, from Evanescence is amazing, her voice is so real. I totally respect Kelly Clarkson, I don’t love all of her songs but she is such a strong girl and isn’t afraid to have meat on her bones. Which I love. Lady GaGa’s work ethic is brilliant, and Rihanna has some amazing songs. I’m not sure about the new one with Eminem (“Love the Way You Lie”), I mean he is known for disrespecting women so it doesn’t make complete sense, but I love that song. |
