I've never read an interview with her where she's referenced her at all... Well, that's good to hear from a respect to Tori Amos standpoint, makes me feel better for liking her and what she does.

Chip McDonald Posted August 7, 2002 Author Share Posted August 7, 2002 Covers: I think Jeff Buckley would have been perfect, maybe the only person who'd have the range and interpretive ability. Liz Fraser would be cool. Seal, while not having the range, would be perfect. "Straight Down the Middle" would be perfect, it's constructed like one of his tunes melodically. [quote]Originally posted by posterchild: [b]I think I might have listened to her stuff too much (is it possible to take the enjoyment out of something by overdoing it?), [/b][/quote]I went through such a phase. I got real hung up on trying to emulate some of her phrasing on guitar, which I think is possibly the most unique and expressive ever. Real subtle things, but also some majorly in-your-face phrasing that just yanks your sensibility around. Real "from the fountainhead" music, as it should be. Totally brave.

Wewus432 Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 I saw and heard Kate for the first time when she was on Saturday Night Live, no idea what year that was, but she did the song Rolling The Ball and I was mesmerized. My girlfriend says " oooh what's so great about her, she's wierd". Yeah right, Kate Bush is one of the sexiest performers I've ever heard or seen, BUT she has talent and depth too. She would have been 100 times more popular if she wasn't so adverse to touring. I told her you guys were talking about her when I talked to her on the phone last night.

Intheether Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 Tori = Kate Bush? Maybe "Little Earthquakes" but nothing after, sorry, I just don't hear it. Their voices are quite similar, but their songs very differnt. I am a huge Tori fan and yes, she does always give Kate her props, but she'll tell you she's more from the Joni Mitchell school than Kate's. Listen to "Boys for Pele" or "To venus and Back" - it's 100% orignal Tori sounds, no rip off stylings. IMHO you're selling both artists short by making this blanket comparision. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Capasso Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 Let's get David Bowie to do "Hello Earth" from "Hounds". That's one of my favorites. Or "Running Up That Hill" by Sting? I agree that Tori is similar but different. Personally I find Tori is frequently too depressing, but interesting. I can listen to "Cornflake Girl" all day. I am going to pull out Sensual World and listen again - I don't know it as well as Hounds of Love... Tom www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.
