I agree, I think like it better than ADP but I really need to sit down with it for a minute before I can pass total judgment.
It's really hard for me to put any of the newer music into the same category as a Pele or Choir girl because to me it is too far removed from those older albums. Still more tori is NEVER a bad thing!

There's a LOT of Botox in that face. Plus it appears she has had either had an eye-lift, a mini-face-lift and/or a brow lift.

Thanks, RoseMary. 
An older version (2007 December in L.A. Nokia Theater) of "Cooling" live that brings me to tears.

and in other (stupid) news...
"Maybe all of that banter about Lady Gaga becoming the next Tori Amos really struck a nerve with the veteran pianista. Because here she is, taking the offensive in The Sun, saying things like how Lady Gaga is a "meteor," which isn't to say that she's a sand- to boulder-sized particle of debris shooting through the solar system. Rather, Amos simply means that, as a meteor, Gaga is one of many "singers who entertain people for a while." She adds undermine-ing-ly, "Hey, there's nothing wrong with that." You see, Lady Gaga is, unlike Heidi Montag, a definitive recessionomic heroine. Amos expounds, “She wants to entertain people. Right now, half the world is depressed and they need to be entertained. So her timing’s perfect.” But the conversation soon descends to arguments which find Neil Young and the word “bum” in too close proximity. “But then there are people like Neil Young who show up at Glastonbury 40 years into their career. And that’s a very different kind of artist. Neil Young doesn’t have to get his bum out on stage! The question is, will Lady GaGa be playing alongside Neil Young at Glastonbury in 20 years time?”
But Amos should know well that no popstrel enters the biz gunning for longevity. Especially when only a few years ago, she had to resort to a little bit of stunt casting in order to give her own career a lift. To her credit, Gaga remains unapologetic about her sensational stabs at scintillation. More to the point, she never subjects concert-goers to a 10 minute reswizzle of one of the more depressing tunes in her oeuvre, rather only a three minute aural assault—primarily in the form of her debut single.
Although most of us are probably siding with New York Magazine in their idle hope that Gaga takes the bait and snarks, “Wish you would’ve stayed silent all these years, you ginger freak!” Similarly, none of us would put it past Amos to fire back, “Never was a Cornflake girl / Thought that was a good solution / Hangin’ with the raisin girls / She’s gone to the other side / Givin’ us the old heave ho / Things are getting kind of gross,” before dismissing this entire squabble because her next overlong odyssey about sexual inequity in America won’t write itself. "
that's just such a ridiculous comparison in the first place!

blackbook says this?? terrible journalistic sensationalism. that's like comparing kate bush to madonna and neither's style or direction are alike at all. and even though it's regarding this very lazy comparison,i agree wholeheartedly with tori on this. there will always be better artists out there who will continue to make good music and classics but then there are gaga types whose music become flashes in the pan. ultimately,lady gaga will never be tori amos...will never be bjork nor will she ever be pj harvey. she simply isn't much of an artist in that respect. she is indeed merely a pop star who entertains. and as much as she wants everyone to buy into,she doesn't create art but radio/club-friendly tunes that no one will care much about in 10 years time. if i want true art,i will continue to listen to the aforementioned,bat for lashes and goldfrapp.
and as far as piano players are concerned...as one of those links mention,there are better piano artists in people like patrick wolf and pj harvey. just because she can play a piano doesn't make her a great artist.

also,i don't think she was talking merely in terms of the artist when she speaks about longevity....there's also the primary aspects as well...the music. imo,tori may perform her classic,darker stuff but at least her music transcends time. artists who have great longevity make music that transcends the ages.

I've just came across this, I thought you might wanted to read this.
What I know about men

I have known the violent side of men, the side that can destroy another human being because of their own desires [Amos was sexually assaulted at knifepoint when she was 21]. I couldn't be normal with men for a long time. I had to take on all kinds of different scenarios in my brain to be with them. I don't think I had a healthy, intimate relationship until I was with my husband. Sometimes you can take on the vision of women the abuser had and start to apply it to yourself without even recognising it. I've spent years and years trying to stop that. The most dangerous thing is it finds a home in your own mind and the messages just get repeated. You don't know how you could allow yourself to be compromised. Ultimately I think the thing that men have taught me is that I am my own keeper. I will never give myself over to anyone.
Violence and seduction are a ticking bomb. I think it goes back to the powerlessness some men feel. They feel so emasculated that they get angry or seek attention from a place that they shouldn't. For a man to get off on a woman screaming, the wires have got crossed somewhere. When you're dealing with men with real power they only want you if you're willing. It's about the dance between the male and female. Real power is about exchange, not subordination. For some people a powerful man is a bully. He's powerful because he scares people. And I would say that's not a powerful man - that's an intimidating man, a man who uses intimidation tactics. A powerful man is a man that knows who he is and doesn't need to manipulate people to get what he wants.
My father was the head of the house, there was no question about that. His parents were both stern Christians. His mother was the iron hand behind him, probably the biggest influence in his life, and wanted him to follow the path of the ministry. My mother had hopes and dreams too, but ultimately put them aside to have children and become a minister's wife.
My brother was a fantastic cheerleader for my development as a musician. He was almost 10 years older than me and would really push me to develop as a songwriter. My father was more like an agent - he took me to the clubs to play piano and sing. He got quite a lot of flak because nobody could understand how a Methodist minister could be seen in gay clubs. He would say: "Where else would you take your 13-year-old daughter? It's the safest place in town."
I've worked with many powerful men in the music industry. The big power brokers in the industry are still men for the most part. And not just them: it's the people behind them, the business affairs, the structures, the boards - it's all men. And there are the good guys and the not- so-good guys. There are the controlling men and there are those that want the exchange.
The birth of my daughter was my healing. I claimed my body back. I stopped being a victim. And I happened to marry a man who, because he's British, was not ingrained with that religious seed that America can scatter. He believes in a woman's right to her own sovereignty. It took the love of a good man. When I was reverting back into my, let's say, perversions, he would say: "Let's go get an ice cream. I am not going to enable you. If you can only come as a wanton woman for hire, because you feel dirty and shamed, then no. Women are goddesses." And I know that and I believe that. I chose a man who believed that too.

I love her.but why is this thread like more about pictures of her than about her music?
come on ,guys!
come on ,guys!can't believe no one is talking about this! tori just released a new album in august and it's probably her greatest work since choirgirl. night of the hunters based on variations of classical and chamber pieces of such great composers as bach and debussy. i really love the entire album,quite frankly. in an age of a dominance of disposable pop tarts it's great to hear artistry from women this year again. funnily,with PJ and Bjork having also released substantial material this year as well....it's like capturing that era of those three women in the 90's again. remember the famous NME cover?
