I'm a fan (and you should be too) because.. Tori has the gift to connect with people that no other musician has. I'll never forget the first time i heard Tori, i thought i'd heard it all until i picked up a copy of 'Little earthquakes' second hand , it just blew me away. After hearing that no music even comes close. and do you know what, like a fine wine she's getting better with age. 'Northern lad is surely one of the greatest songs ever, the emotion, the voice, it brings me to tears. What other artist can do that ? Thats what talent is and tori's got it in spades !!
