Ms. Amos exhibits a trait that I'm not sure has a name, but most certainly has a tribe of practitioners: heavy vocal wavering; on a guitar it would be the equivalent to heavy tremolo.

Two questions: 
(1)  Do they think that's a more artistic/pleasant/talented way to sing? 
(2)  Do you RP'ers think that its a more artistic/pleasant/talented way to sing?

GOD I HATE all the music that she has ever made

The Mute or PSD isn't strong enough

Wow. Never noticed the lyrics overlayed.  (I'm sure there is a musicology term for this.)

Overall rating is at present 4.3 too low on 5.7.  Unstoppable album of utter brilliance - every song a 10.

If there wasn't Tori Amos we would have to invent her. Excellent.

They're very different artists, and I imagine many people are more put off by her voice than they are by his.  This song's pretty good; I don't get all the hate, but whatever.

When I listen to these solo, esp female, artists, I think of all the advantages of having a band, and having your fellow member/friends tell you when something doesn't sound good.  The collaboration aspect of rock is the artistic element that is so under-appreciated.

Sorry, don't like Tori's music.  I find it grating and not soothing in the least.

I can't help but think her music is a joke, and she's laughing all the way to the bank. It's so bad, but people "claim" to love it. How, when, why, where? I am confused.

This is a little to high up on the keys. When she puts a little bass into her compositions, I like her. Otherwise, eh.

I love Tori Amos, when she isn't too weird. This one is just a shade weird, but not way out there, so I like it. Some of her albums are awesome, especially Scarlet's Walk and the Beekeeper. She keeps the weird out of those and focuses on the pretty. Then check out the lyrics, she's telling an interesting story.

Ah, right, that makes sense. Which reminds me of the old one about John McEnroe playing tennis, when suddenly a reptilian creature from the TV series V materialises on the court. Yer man stares in disbelief, then shouts, incredulously: "You can not be Sirius!!"

I'll get me spacesuit...

I bet it depends on the day.  It's sad that it seems deeply creative people often border on mental illness.  I love the creative work though.

hehe, not confused here. I won't criticize another person for being moved by a particular song—even if I can't stand the artist (i.e. Natalie Merchant, Dave Matthews, or most country music).  If you like it and it moves you, more power to you!  Maybe I don't understand, but whatever. So, my response to you is that I'm not confused at all. This song—Space Dog—has always really moved me. It gives me goose bumps and chills and an explosion of emotion...which is how I KNOW it's a 10 rating for me {#High-five} Tori's music moves me in a way that no other artist does.  In fact, I often find it so moving that I can't even listen to it because I don't want to "go to that place" you know?  I can't rationalize it....it just is the way it is.  I think others feel the same way about music they are excited about. And you probably do too.
Tori's quote does sound like she's from crazy land, but that's part of why we Tori fans love her so much.  And a big thanks to {#Kiss}BILL{#Kiss} for playing her on this radio station.

I also need to add that what you might think is total nonsense coming from Tori (whether a quote, or lyric) often has profound meaning. Look up information about Sirius (the DOG STAR) and it's significance.  I don't expect Tori to dumb down her rants or her song lyrics for the general population. It's art baby!
