i like this album but i need to be in the mood to hear this specific tori cd. i usually find myself listening to under the pink, boys for pele or scarlet's walk. They just seem like perfect examples of what tori is all about. That sounds really stupid but it's just how i feel. choirgirl, strange little girl and venus and back just seemed like she was trying to show us that she can do more. but we already knew that. i like those CDs for what they are but they get minimal play in my stereo. Shit, they're still better than most of what's out there, i guess.

I can be cruel

I don't know why

Why can't my ba-la-loon

Stay up

In a perfectly windy sky?

"GOD" and "crucify" are brilliant.

i have a video with her doing bruce's "i'm on fire" that was really cool.

i really like that "fire on the side" song she did when she had that big jersey girl hair too.

i'm on fire is phenomenal!

Her cover of A Case of You is my favorite version of that song.

I made a Choirgirl cd; put the whole album on, followed by remixes and bsides:

Spark - Mainline Cherry (Ambient Spark)

Cruel - (Shady Feline Mix) this song, can't get enough of it. Even the striped down version she did on the Strange Little Tour is amazing.

Bachlorette

Purple People
Never Seen Blue

Beulah Land

Oh, the exquisite pain. I love it.

Tori's a genius... i'm so glad that Scarlet's Walk is doing well, she deserves it.

all this talk of choirgirl has inspired me to pull it out. like i said earlier, i need to be in the right mood for this album. all the buzz about it has had me humming cruel and iiieee for days now.

I looove iiieee.

i know we're dying
and there's no sign of a parachute
we scream in cathedrals
why can't it be beautiful
why does there gotta be a sacrifice


Liquid Diamonds is also a treasure.

'Some Sort Of Fairytale' gives me the chills, so beautiful...freaky video though!

I'm a rabid fan of Tori. She's absolutely brilliant! My new fave album is Scarlet's Walk, but after that, its probably Under The Pink


I've seen her, at least once on every tour since Pink
and she never ceases to amaze me. I just saw her this past Sunday in Houston, and was blown away yet again! (and BTW, she played "Wrapped Around Your Finger").

Exquisite pain indeed. Purple People always hits me in the
knees. Such a beautiful song. The Choirgirl bees are my
absolute favorits.

JediMaster said:

Hmmm, very nice. I like the idea of an entire disc filled
with only bees. I think I'm gonna try and burn me that one
as well. Her covers are usually very good.

Currently my fav Tori song is "Abbey Road". I used to think
it was a cover, but I'm not sure now. I think it's a Tori
original. It's the perfect chill-out song for when you come
home on a sundaymorning. It's the last song I play before I
pull up into my street. It relaxes every single muscle in
your body

Where'd you get that track?

I think Tori is ace but she'll always be in the shadow of my babe Kate. I still think Little Earthquakes is her best.

Cloudbuster said:

I LOVE Kate Bush, but I really don't like to compare them. Tori is obviously influenced by her, but her music is so different in style that I really don't see the need for comparison. Kate has more in common with Peter Gabriel, in my opinion, than Tori. Tori is more in the vein of Carol King, with a whole lot of Jim Morrison & Robert Plant thrown in. Just my opinion.
