I've read various reviews & articles about Kate lately,obviously because of the release of Aerial.One thing I have noticed in alot of these writings is there always seems to be a little,somewhat insulting & stupid comment about Tori,like they will say something to the effect that Tori is a pale imitation of Kate or basically that compared to Kate,Tori sucks.
Now you know I'm not too fond of The Beekeeper,but I'm still offended by all this Tori bashing.
I don't understand why people are still on this Tori imitating Kate bandwagon anyway.
Their music isn't similar at all.
For one thing,their styles of piano-playing are like night & day.
Tori's playing is more aggressive,intense,darker.A lot of the time she sounds like she's playing with 4 hands instead of 2,and she bangs & pounds on the piano more,which I LOVE.
(More Laura Nyro than Kate)

Kate's playing is usually more gentle & subtle.
And there are other differences as well.

because it is against the laws of nature (and the org) to admire 2 people in the same field. and God forbid they should be two women. sacrilidge!!!!!

Tori's an original. No doubt about it.

It lazy fucking journalism thats all. Journalists who cant write about an album subjectively have to draw from many unrelated sources in order to fill column inches. This can be anything from bashing similar artists, to attacking said artists past career choices. Its a technique of ensuring they never give too much praise out, because go forbid they acknowledge that people actually have talent. Bitter pen pushers.

I like Tear in Your Hand

Cloudbuster said:

you found the site I was looking for!

for real though.....not too many people pose in a box.....for their debut album. Tori might've been totally unaware about Kate in a box.

Cloudbuster said:

Oh god, not this again.

Anyone with good taste should not listen 2 Mariah Carey...

Cheek said:

Why celebrate Roísín Murphy's album here?

HamsterHuey said:

That album is a Vespertine wannabee!!!

Cheek said:

Tori was my album of the year.

GangstaFam said:

Aerial kicks The Beekeeper's ass!

Cheek said:

I love Aerial, and I'm still digesting it, but I doubt I'll ever like it as much as Beekeeper.

What were the singles from The Beekeeper?

I know Sleeps With Butterflies was the lead track but I dunno what followed.

GangstaFam said:

Same here. The Beekeeper is an amazing piece of work.

Cloudbuster said:

Sweet The Sting

GangstaFam said:

Of course - you're a Tori Fan!!!

Cheek said:

Just that one?
