Ann Powers from the '' Milwaukee Journal Sentinel '' wrote : " You might not immediately recognize Amy Lee 's name , but you would know her if she plummeted past you from the top floor of a tenement building " and : " That 's how anyone with basic cable first saw the singer for the band Evanescence , in the video for the song " Bring Me to Life " : falling backward in slow motion , her hair unfolding like a long black veil as she headed for hard pavement below . " According to Joe D'Angelo of MTV News , Lee 's " ... teetering on a ledge " in the video shows a " ... distressed and emotionally wrought heroine . " Corey Moss of MTV wrote : " ... certainly as intense as a superhero movie , the sequence also gives a nice visual to the song 's most memorable lyric , ' Save me . ' " MTV 's Gil Kaufman wrote that " ... singer Amy Lee dreams that she has super Spidey powers , climbs up the outside of a building , spies on her creepy neighbors , then plunges into the abyss " and added , " ... even if your boyfriend is a buff rap-rocker guy , he might not be able to save you from falling off a 20-story building to your death . And do n't play on ledges in a billowy dress on windy days . " John Hood of '' Miami New Times '' wrote that the " gothopolis backdrop " used in the video " would make Tim Burton green with envy " . The music video for " Bring Me to Life " was nominated at the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Rock Video
