[edit]

Though it is a French-derived word, pronouncing the "t" at the end of Tourniquet is not unusual. According to dictionary.com, in English, the final t is pronounced. (Just as the t in "often" isn't.)The Editrix 14:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have to disagree. English has the habit of taking words and not changing the pronunciation to confuse phonetic spellers. Everywhere I hear it it's pronounced Tourniquet (silent t). Plus this is what I hear in TV from across the UK. Unless the Americans has messed it up. Big Moira 22:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking as an American, I've never heard either Tourniquet or Often pronounced with a silent last "t". However, I can easily understand the phonetic "Tourniqué"; ...but "Ofen"? -- Huntster T@C 04:21, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

De-stubbed

[edit]

This article appears to be of an appropriate length for the subject matter under discussion. It is also appropriately categorized and wikified.

By nature, stubbing and tagging articles devalues them, giving them an aura of unreliability. As part of my personal campaign to free up articles that have been stubbed and tagged without cause, this article has been disenstubified.

If any editor disagrees, and would rather re-stub it than improve it by adding actual content, please discuss here. The Editrix 14:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

about the line "I long to die"

[edit]

Hello, in the article, it says that Amy Lee screams this line in the Fallen version. To my ears, she sounds as if she is speaking the line, not screaming it, on the album. She does seem to scream it in concert, though. Does this sound correct? Thanks, --Kyoko 04:25, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, it sounds to me like quite the scream, both on Fallen and in concerts. I suppose its up to individual interpretation though. -- Huntster T@C 08:26, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this listed as an Evenescene song?

[edit]

If the song was originally written and preformed by Soul Embraced, the article should not be about the cover version, it should be about the original version + the covers. This article even states the writers as being the band members of Evenesence, which isn't true either. It doesnt matter who popularised the song or put it on what album, it was originally written and preformed by Soul Embraced. IronCrow (talk) 02:01, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know Amy added a second bridge to the song. Its Evanescence's adaption and also its called Tourniquet. of course if you read the article. Their is a note about it on the Tourniquet disambiguation page being performed by Soul Embraced :) 121.72.236.247 (talk) 05:36, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
