I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...I used to hear Tori in the clubs when I was younger, and she was cool, but I was more into the super-goth stuff. Some of my friends were totally into Tori. Damn you if you turned off the CD in the middle of a Tori song! A few years later, after I got married, I had a miscarriage. I was pretty young, and was really down. My cousin said "It is time for you to discover Tori." She bought me Choir Girl. I sat home alone in my bedroom, listened to it beginning to end, and cried. Then, I did it all over again. It was the beginning of a wonderful, fulfilling relationship!
That was about nine years ago. Three kids later, we enjoy listening to Tori together.
