More realistically, she is a bit worn out by her non-stop TVAB promotion and is getting tired of being asked the same questions by interviewers who haven't even listened to the album. - -nick ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Dec 1999 12:01:41 -0000 From: "pete lambert" Subject: under the influence >>Why did people think she was out of it/stoned/drugged I've often heard people say this about tori's performances, especially on TV, but, I don't think that's likely to be the explanation. I once read someone slagging off Tori by saying "she doesn't know how to be a proper interviewee" (or words to that affect). Which of course is exactly why we love her - she can't and won't do the cheesy "Hi I'm Tori Amos and it's so fab to be famous!" Hello Magazine b-list routine that so many proffessional celebrities cling to. She's a real person having real thoughts and emotions, not a programmable piece of TV pap like we get served so much of the time - there have been times when her TV appearences make her seem really out of it, but I reckon that's just because she is behaving like a real person, who simply happens to have a camera pointed at her, rather than in the chirpy Good Morning Stepford blandness that we get so used to seeing on the box that we forget that that isn't what real people look, sound or act like..... Of course I haven't seen the clip and she could well have just been off her tits, as they say :-) But didn't she say once that she would never ever perform while 'under the influence' - something like "I wouldn't even be able to FIND the piano, never mind play it"....
