DEFYING ALL LABELS

Amid the usual skinfest of top female stars at the MTV Video Music Awards last week, one artist stood out. Amy Lee, lead singer for Evanescence, the year's hottest debut rock act, strolled the red carpet in a modest skirt and top, about as rare a sighting at the show as a rap star sans rap sheet. Lee is not without fashion sense, and she has griped about all the cleavage in the business. "I am sick and tired of seeing girls get up here and show their t--s," she once yelled during a concert. Evanescence was vying in two categories, and Lee presented in another. The band didn't get a statuette. But music insiders got a glimpse of something new: the first female lead singer of a hit rock band in years, and a relatively covered-up one at that.
