TORI?!?!? OH PLEASE!

Why have Tori f*cking Amos when you can have the original, proper, undiluted one - Kate Bush.
Tori Amos my arse.

*yawn*

P.S Kate Bush makes my ears bleed -- THAT'S WHY.

Tori Pines is a street at La Jolla, California

I tried to appreciate Kate Bush (Hounds of Love etc..), and I just could not. Friends told me I'm supposed to love her, yet she bored me, her voice was too melodramatic, too shrieking for my delicate psycho... LOL

Tori Amos, she, her voice, both her vocals and her piano, plus her breathing and slight Southern drawl and affectations of her speech & singing... it all really stroked that certain part of my mind, responsible for pleasure... That's why music tastes are so subjective... I would not argue, that Tori learned a thing or two from Kate Bush. I just happen, subjectively, to like everything about style of thinging of say Tori Amos and Loreen McKennit, yet I don't care much about Kate Bush, who may be not so far from Tori idea-wise, and I'm kind of indifferent to Sinead O'Connor, even if she occupies the same Celtic musical territory as Loreen.

Re: Tori Pines is a street at La Jolla, California

....but I always think the original is better.

To say Tori Amos learned a thing or two from Kate bUush is like saying Gene were vaguely similar to the Smiths - there's a difference in influence and rip off.

Little Earthquakes was a far better album when it was called The Kick Inside, some 20 years previous.

She even copied the sleeve!

And I just couldn't trust a woman with hair that dyed-out and straggly.....
