Numerous people have noted that choosing a female singer is the ideal way to honor Bennington’s heritage while beginning again.
One user on X said, “Gotta respect the hell out of Linkin Park, they knew they couldn’t replicate Chester’s voice, so they didn’t even try to.
” Another person thought Armstrong was a “pretty great” option. “Emily Armstrong is actually a pretty great choice as a new vocalist for Linkin Park,” they remarked.
“I was a bit skeptical on Linkin Park adding a female vocalist but she sounds splendid live,” they said. “Sounds close enough to Chester but different enough that it is not a shameless ripoff.”
Another person expressed their support for Armstrong by saying, “I like the selection of a female singer. You made the right choice by not imitating Chester.
