Honestly, I don't think she's a soundalike. I do see some similarities, but Tori's got her own thing.

GangstaFam said:

exactly. i just dont get the constant comparisons either.

IstenSzek said:

Who do you prefer?

We should assign essays to everyone...Kate and Tori, compare and contrast.

GangstaFam said:

i prefer Tori since her mystique is more earthly and organic.
Kate's vibe is too ethereal and airy for me. i like a lot of
her work, most of it actually but if i had to chose between
the two I would go for Tori.

IstenSzek said:

co-all of that.

IstenSzek said:

That's why she's my favourite. It's like visiting a different world.
Tori's music just reminds me of a lonely student bedsit.

Cloudbuster said:

Then why do you like her so much?

How did I know you'd be first to comment?

GangstaFam said:

Did I say it was a bad thing?

That's just what her music makes me think of. Young vagina-centered women with nothing to do but dwell in their own misery.

Sometimes that stuff works well. In fact, I can't think of anyone who does it better than T.

Kate just has so much more imagination. Musically, lyrically, vocally.
I don't think T comes anywhere near her.

Cloudbuster said:

You did now.

GangstaFam said:

What?

Cloudbuster said:

Sometimes I wonder if and why you like her at all, cuz that sounds horrible.

GangstaFam said:

You don't think a lot of her lyrics are vagina-centered?

I didn't mean it in a disparaging way, that's just the impression that the majority of her music leaves me with. Like Bjork's music makes me think I'm having my brain screwed. Like Kate's music makes me think that I'm visiting another dimension. Like Joni's music makes me think I'm out in the wild with everywhere and nowhere to go. Tori's makes me think of young women who are trying to find their place in the world... is that a kinder way of putting it?

I don't think of Tori's music as lonely student bed sit stuff
but rather more like a brooding sexual kind of voodoo. well,
at least her stuff from Pele up to Venus. Lately she's on an
other path it seems. more of an ultra feminine one that has
very little to do with the brooding sexuality and deep dark
mysteries of the unseen and unspoken world she used to lure
into her songs.

it seems that these days she's more into being a real girly
girl. hanging out with her daughter and other moms, having
tea and bisquits and putting heart shaped stickers in their
daughter's drawingbooks.

that's cool and all and i still like most of the songs, but
i do kinda miss the tori that claimed her feminine strength
by burning down the house and then sitting down at her keys
in the street as she watched the place burn down, singing a
song about keizer wilhelm and furry rabbits paws.

Nonsense, it's all just "Lonely Bedsit" fodder.

shut up!

I miss Kylie!!!

Tori is better than Kate simply for the fact that she didn't record Eat The Music.

End of discussion.

MattyJam said:

Give her time. I'll sure she'll rip it off at some point.

Cloudbuster said:

Bjork's better than both cuz she did "Eat The Menu".
