I'd disagree with your assessment, personally...I don't see that many Tori fans below bashing her for sounding too much like Tori; if anything, I see more people bashing Tori on this song's comment section, and then bashing this song, also. I would agree that this song does sound a lot like Tori's music, but, then again, some of Tori's stuff is very reminiscent of Kate Bush's, who I'm sure probably sounds like someone else. So, about the song...I like what I heard overall, and wouldn't mind hearing more from Ms. Martin. I'll have to see if I can find the disc to give it a listen. |

Yeah, and ya know, that Brian Johnson guy sounds a lot like Bon Scott!
(I guess opportunity knocks louder for some than for others.)

whoa! that's a pretty broad generalization to make - and one that i take quite offensively. |

I'm not a Tori Amos fan. This is MUCH better. |

Great segue from Air there =)
She still sounds like she needs to get her own personality though.

Hey Charlotte -
How YOU doin'?
But seriously, comparisons to Tori aside, this song is ok, IMO.

Tori did that a lot at the beginning of her career, and it did get her the attention she needed to break out, but she doesn't do that anymore. She's a fantastic performer. |

Wow. I just switched over to see what Tori album this song was from. It sounds a lot like one of hers, but can't think of the title. Which is not to say it's a bad thing. I really like Tori and this song has all the elements about it that I like in Tori's songs. Not bad overall.

I liked Tori a lot more before I ever experienced the visual of her working that piano bench. It always looked contrived-sexy to me -- just a sell-out act to get attention (you know, that predictable raised-with-too-much-religion-now-trying-to-prove-I'm-not-a-virgin syndrome). Now I picture it whenever I hear her voice. Kind of like watching David Lee Roth hold his mic stand straight up between his legs. "Sexy" should be a little more subtle than that. I love cool, sexy moves but some performers are just flat-out vulgar.
Too bad for Tori...'cause she's really talented.

It's her own label and it's produced by her husband. Try again.
