I can't say I read it very closely (it seemed to say things like "they are always _rock_ not pop stars" then go on to include the Spice Girls). It also claimed Annie Lennox didn't make the cut as a Diva. Anyway, there is a nice several page spread on the 20 top divas today, including the likes of Bjork (19), PJ Harvey (16) Skin (from Skunk Anansie, 12) and Sinead O'Connor (11). Tori came in at #8; undercut by: 8. Tori Amos 7. Gabrielle 6. Ery Kay Buden 5. kd lang 4. Beth Gibbons 3. Spice Girls 2. Courtney Love 1. Madonna She was pictured wearing a "Junkies Baddy Powder" T-shirt, next to the text: "Raped at gun point, and culturally abused by a record company that had her fronting some dumb heavy metal band, Tori Amos finally came into her own with 1991's Little Earthquakes, the angry tremor in her voice mistaken by some for a copy of Kate Bush's more fluttery moments. With her astringent and well- practised pianism and her surging cathartic delivery, many squirming males found her too intimate for comfort -- and when she covered Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit and Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love, it was like she'd deliberately walked into the men's urinal.

Of all of you who've seen Great Expectations and thought it "sucked", did you not like it only because the story is rather a depressing one? Because if this is the reason, it's not the movie that sucked, it's Charles Dickens. And that, of course, is a crock. Those of you who don't like the movie, and haven't read the book, need to do so. Is there anyone out there that saw the movie, and has read the book, who still doesn't like the movie? Richard? BTW, tomorrow (Saturday) is Charles Dickens birthday! A good day to go see the movie!

You need a testing process. Blindly following something just because your parents do/dont believe in it, because your friends do\dont believe in it OR if YOUR FAVORITE SINGER believes/doesn't believe in it...well I think thats just plain silly. I love tori for being able to question her beliefs and still believing in a higher power of some sort. I think that that is what it is all about. It takes a lot of research and a lot of time and introspection to even get started on this BUT its worth it!!!!

Hi there, Could any of you tell me which Fleetwood Mac songs has Tori ever done? Was Tori influenced by Fleetwood Mac? Are these songs only live performances or are there also studio versions? I have recently discovered their music (yeah, maybe it's a little late, about 30 years.... hehe...) AND fallen in love with Fleetwood Mac's music after buying "The Dance". I would love to know everything you could tell me that could relate to Tori and Fleetwood Mac. I'm really in love with these guys' music, so naturally, being Tori my favorite artist, I'd like to know everything that could bind them together. BTW, a few nights ago I saw a video for Dunkan Sheik's "Wishful Thinking" (it was some kind of radio edit and i'm casually listening to that track now), with scenes of the movie on it, and it got me thinking that maybe, just maybe "Siren" could be released as a single or have a video made for it... but perhaps not, since the new album is so close to being released and there's already talk about a new single. Just a bewildering thought...

I would have loved to registrate, but I kept myself from doing so since this I live in Colombia, South America, so there's no use in doing so. My suggestion is: could you make this like, a worldwide registration form? Or is there any other site that already has a registraton thing like this? I remember reading something like that on the Dent but I'm not sure if it's the same site or a different one.

I'm a freshman in college (Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green Ohio!) and my English composition class (What Is The Culture Of Generation X?) is doing a research paper on "any musical artist". I've already discussed with my professor and signed up to do my paper on Tori Amos: Innovations and Influences. I've done a week's worth of research in our music library (the largest in the country - oh, the pride! lol) and I've come up with some great Tori articles and looked through some Tori books. The criteria I am exploring are: her image, her lyrics, her background (brief, just for the intro), her views/beliefs/attitude, her musical styles, and her instrumentation. I've got some great info, but if anyone has/knows anything that they think would be interesting to my research paper - especially with the musical styles and instrumentation - I would appreciate it if you could drop me a line. I also may have to do my own interviews so if anyone has lots of smarts about Tori, and is willing to do a little email interview, you can email me too.

My favourite song is "Etienne" (I'll tell you the shortened story . . .) In October of '96, Tori was in Binghamton, NY, where my good friend lives and I am originally from. So I went down there to see the concert, and earlier in that day, we were discussing conventionalism and censorship, and we decided to start an "underground newspaper" of our own (cleverly titled "Jupiter" at a later date . . .) So we were trying to think of psedonyms, and I remembered seeing the song "Etienne" listed in the "Bee Sides" piano book, and I had always loved that name ever since, so I decided it was just "my name" . . . then that night at the concert (which was amazing!!!!), Tori did three encores, and the very last song that she played that night was "Etienne" . . . it was the most beautiful song I had ever heard, and it was just so sweetly ironic . . . it's been my favourite song ever since!

Well not really, but. . . Hello I knew you won't you tell me your name, I am here at school with our crappy computer systems so I have decided to share my ever so exiciting Tori news with you lucky people. But don't tinkle in your pants for it ain't that big of a deal. I am using "Winter" for my American Sign Language project. Yes, the pregnant teacher is making us sign a song and I chose "Winter". She read and listened to the song and was like "how cute" and then she said "hm, you have to work on it because she is being too vague". So she thinks Tori is being vague. Well she just doesn't appreciate really deep thoughts. I think it's just because she is confused as the class. Get this. . . They school district is not having ASLIII since all three ASL teachers in the district are pregnant and one is taking next year off. So the school district, which had promised all students that they would get a chance to take all three years, has decided not to have ASLIII. Well supposedly good colleges won't accept you if you don't have three years of the same language and I won't qualify for Texas Scholars without three years of the same language so I am fucked and the mum is pissed at ME, for not taking Spanish or something. Damn teachers, couldn't take birth control. Just kidding, the system is to blame. They can't find decent ASL teachers anywhere, so if anyone reading this has a degree in teacher and is pretty fluent in ASL, contact me immediately. And I am only half-joking. So for the non-Tori stuff, I gotta vent. t Anywho, here's a question. Isn't "drifts" the same thing as "snow"? My brain hurts from all this confusion in my life. I need to know "drifts" (hopefully it is snow for I know snow. <---I rhyme) and "skating" then I am reading to translate the damn song into ASL structure and make my bloated teacher see the true meaning.

I've been thinking about the upcoming tour and wondering... ~ In concert, Tori's songs are always so different than on her albums. She often does covers that she's never recorded, such as Purple Rain, Lovesong, Let It Be, Killing Me Softly, and Daniel, to name a few from the last tour. Also, the songs grow and change as she performs them more. Precious Things from the beginning of the tour got a whole new ending towards the end of the tour, with more lyrics and music added. ~ So, my point is, what I'm getting to... is the importance of having recordings of all the concerts. Here's an idea and a question in one: "How can we get every show Tori performs recorded and available for her fans at a REALLY low cost?" Is there a way we can all record shows and make the the recordings available for everyone? ~ There are so many good things that come of this: - -EVERY show could be available... imagine if every show from the past tour had been recorded and made easily available... oh the treasures we'd have... - -Not supporting real bootlegging companies that charge insane prices for recordings. This way we won't have to spend money on so many bootlegs... - -Accurate setlists can be made. - -We can hear how Tori's music changes as the tour progresses. - -Accurate transcripts can be made of Tori's onstage antics and talk/stories. - -Rarely performed songs may be captured and put onto compilation tapes. - -We could possibly even try to make an Amazing RealAudio site along the lines of deadshow.com Check that site out to see what i mean more clearly. ~ Hmm, but there will always be a bad side: - -Who would make the recordings? We will need volunteers. - -How can we make sure the sound is good and clear? - -Who would make the copies? Well, not everyone will want every show, so... No profits should be made, though (in my opinion) by anybody. ~ Ok, well.. that's all i shall say about it for now.. I'm looking for input from whoever is interested in finding a good solution that will work. Let's try to keep it organized and realistic, too. thanks, and i hope this can work somehow... j'ason http://members.aol.com/WeirdyBoi/Toriphoria/html Renovated and yummy. ;) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Feb 1998 00:32:47 EST From: Lil3rthqks@aol.com Subject: Re: and when i dance for him...
