Tori Amos Apreciaion Thread

Dafydd Thomas

I think she deserves it, shes such an amazin singer.

Not many people in Ireland no of her but I really do not understand why! Anyone here listen to her?

Dudess

Your name is so Welsh, that I'm inclined to think you're not Welsh. If you are, forgive me. And it would explain why you say not many people in Ireland have heard of her. I disagree. I would say that Tori has as much of a following here as anywhere else. It's just that she's kept a pretty low profile over the past few years. I know she's been releasing stuff but not with the same level of publicity as back in the early nineties. Cornflake Girl was a huge hit here. And Crucify did pretty well too. Her relative popularity fizzled out in the late nineties and she's been more of a cult figure ever since. I'd say a lot of under-25s haven't heard of her because of that.

I'm not a big fan of her but not because I dislike her, she's just an artist I've never investigated. What I know by her though, I like. I think Winter is an astonishing song.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

yeah, winter's a great song

she's hot too, so that helps.

Dudess

Mordeth, every post I've read by you lately is concerned with how hot a particular female is... you're gagging for it, aren't you?

Would Tori Amos really be classed as alternative?

actually I tend to pick my female artists to listen to by how good looking they are, it's how I started listening to tori amos, jewel, cara dillon, jorane and recently regina spektor

if they didn't look hot in their videos, I wouldn't listen to their songs.. but they do, and it's good ****

Dafydd Thomas

Tori Amos is very hot... Her new album 'American Doll Posse' is out here April 27th! I can't wait!!! And yes Tori Amos is Alternative. And im not Welsh Im Irish! And Also Daffyd Thomas is a name from Little Britain!!! Im 16 and I listen to Tori!!!

Ah, gotcha. Didn't realise Daffyd's surname was Thomas. You're 16 - so you were born around the time she was recording Little Earthquakes... I'll get me coat.

That spelling of 'appreciation' is awful, just awful.

I'm so sick of seeing this kind of thing on this website.

At a guess I would say most kids aged around 12-13 would get that right.

It's not even close and it seems either you've not made an effort to get the right spelling, or worse, you think it's correct.

Just awful.

John

Peter, the OP dropped the "t", it's probably a typo. Relax, there's no need to act so condescending. People make mistakes.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

two p's actually

but anyway, it's not just younger people.. alot of my friends would be early twenties and i'm stunned by the level of spelling some of them have... it's... astounding, truly.

John

Didn't notice the second "p" missing. It's fixed now so we can move on.

Dafydd Thomas

Am... Okay. Get over it. My keyboard doesn't work too well... But anyway big deal, I would really appreciate if you would get a life... Yup. Born 1991. So not like its just for the over 25's! I'm going to see her in ****** and twice in London Hammersmith!

No need for the lip either. What is it with this forum the last couple of days? Everyone is getting uppity!

Im not giving 'lip'! I'm just not being attacked for spelling something wrong...

Dafydd Thomas

Am... Why was ****** in my post bleeped out?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

what the hell were you trying to say?

i can't thik of any dirty wirds around that size that would qualify for the censor

Dafydd Thomas

What the hell??? Why can't we say oxygen? With an 'e'?

Dafydd Thomas

Try it. It just bleeps out., Pure wierd!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

oooh

that could be because of some legal stuff

there shoud be a sticky about it in every forum

John

It's not weird, it's deliberate. In the thread "READ BEFORE POSTING: Due to legal proceedings issued by MCD" it clearly states that for ongoing legal reasons discussion of MCD promoted events is not allowed so their biggest event is blocked.

Dafydd Thomas wrote:

I dealt with the spelling issue, no need to tell the poster to get a life, that's just being equally as sarky.

Now PLEASE get back on topic or I'm locking this thread.

indiewindy

Yeah Tori has got some amount of quality in her back catalogue, songs like winter,cornflake girl, silent all these years, a sorta fairtytale etc etc and her version of teen spirit is stunning(woth watching on youtube) and she has a house in Ireland too!!

I think sloppy typing and bad spelling shows no respect for the reader, that's what I was taught in school.

And I'm still in school and learning how people can be so disrespectful. It was one spelling mistake!
This Is obviously an Irish forum? I have never been on a forum before where they completely change the subject to the person who is posting! I think John will agree with me when I ask you to just drop it!

oh my, oh my what must people think of me..

Dafydd Thomas

Yes yes. Is this an official forum thing because its really strict and proper? Anyway back to the subject at hand... We don't want to be deleted for going off subject now do we?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

well, on the subject of tori amos I loved her singing 'muhhamed my friend' with maynard from Tool, that was awesome

actually, I'm going to dig that out now I haven't listened to it in a while

Dafydd Thomas

You got it in my head. I'm listening now. Hmmm... But don't you mean 'Past the Mission' with Maynard from Tool which was on Under The Pink?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

nope, it's from a live show... maybe that isn'tm what the song is really called, but i have it on tool - ultra rare tra[ck]s

John

Right, thread locked. Daffyd banned for discussing MCD events despite being warned and Peter Collins banned for trolling about spelling.

John

Oh and if anyone actually DOES want to discuss Tori Amos, feel free to open a new thread.
