Tori your music changed me. opened my eyes. thank you forever.

[@slivertoe]

I love every interaction Tori Amos and Rosie O'Donnell have ever had. I think they should have a vlog together. Tor and Ro's Thoughts About Stuff.

[@lusciousrobb232]

Tori Amos is one of the most influential singer , songwriters of the century ! I can not pick a single song of hers that is my favorite ! Everything Tori has ever written speaks to so many ! There are very few women that I would label a Goddess and Tori is one of them !

[@JulietteZephyr]

When I first started listening to her music I thought, this chick is probably pretty eccentric in person and comes across as angsty and offbeat in interviews... She actually appears to be pretty good with giving interviews and very affable. What a classy lady.

[@matheus_ooliv]

She has a very sweet character even when people are awkward towards her like when a kid mistook her for Tory Kelly.

[@Dvdre]

One of Tori's most likable interviews. I am glad to see her this way. She can be sooooo difficult at times. Tori the mom. Never thought that would be a good thing, but there you go.

[@zehredness]

I loved listening to her here. Even her speaking voice is beautiful. And she was very relatable.

[@needtoknowbasis3499]

Love these gals together. They're sympatico!

[@meandthemoon123]

Shes so pretty

She looks amazing , love herrrrrrrrrrr her presence gives joy ! and her voice when she speaks is an art itself !

[@Vermin80]

to be honest...i love her music since i'm 13 years old..now i'm 32...and i haven't really watched any interviews on youtube till now...and i must say: tori, what the fucking hell have you done to your face??? O M G! she had such a beautiful face. and now? look at her! so sad :(

Tash is very smart. I'm too slow for her perhaps but I'd already noticed the bindi. 'Yours were red leather pants, honey!' 😂

[@justmissjamey]

what a great interview, i love how honest and nice this conversation took..thanks so much for sharing this with us lol

[@zehredness]

I had no idea Rosise O'Donnell had a show still? Where have I been?

[@pheriface]

Tori is an artist, a muse, and extremely talented musicians and composer. That is why I have been a fan of hers for over15 years. The last album is a classical album. Yes, it's different from her other records, but they're all different! She evolves, she always finds something new to work with, while keeping her piano in the picture. She is amazing live. And even if she did get some kind of "plastic surgery", it wouldn't change the fact that she looks like her mother, who is very beautiful.

[@RomDeussen1]

I love the "What comes out of her mouth...someTIMES!" SO great.

[@Amandagan000]

she has changed so much...

[@rebeccaflores3560]

BEST EVER!!! 🙏🏼💕🌟

[@ciararavenblaze]

not necessarily--a lot of fans eat that kind of stuff right up. I know I do when Tori talks about her daughter, ESPECIALLY when I remember that she suffered through three miscarriages before finally getting to be a mother.

[@sleepypoodle]

I saw her last night at the Royal Albert Hall with the Metropole Orchestra and she was absolutely spectacular, only three rows from the front and my goodness she looks amazing although her lack of facial movements above the mouth was disappointingly indicative of a certain bovine enzyme treatment which really surprised me as I'd never have thought she'd succumb to such temptations...I loved her blue glittery glasses though :)

[@laurielou2]

Love it.

[@mirroredshame]

This is such a funny interview! I love it, it's so relaxed. :D

[@suk4honesty]

Maybe it's just the hair but she looks like Kate bush in the thumbnail 😂

[@bettyemachetetmi5005]

vickie g 😼😆

[@stevenmitchell1]

Maybe

[@BenCulture]

I would never have known she's had any facial work done had you all not been talking about it. However much she spent, it was worth it, because there's nothing even slightly "off" about her looks. She looks great and I hope it made her happier. Did you know Tori is only five years younger than Joan Jett? Doesn't that seem off?!? Anyway, Ms. Jett had some face work done too, but _unlike_ Tori, she looks like a completely different person now. Still a beautiful woman, though. They are both beautiful women and great artists. Maybe some day they'll collaborate -- it would be like the female version of Lou Reed & John Cale!

[@bettyemachetetmi5005]

Ben Culture You, sir, are a class act in MY book.💞

[@nowapaz6606]

You just reinforced my opinion that most men are incapable of seeing detail. Her face looks like a rubber mask and her eyes have lost all their sparkle. You really need to do some before and after study and then tell me there is nothing "off".

[@nowapaz6606]

@@bettyemachetetmi5005 So being blind is classy to you? That's a new one. Seriously, you can say all you want and lie all you want but the fact of the matter is, Tori has had MAJOR surgery and looks nothing at all like her former self. This kind of denial of reality is not a trait to be admired.

[@bettyemachetetmi5005]

@@nowapaz6606 I'm not sure if you got the nuance of sarcasm in that. It's hard to get the icy snippy tone of voice in texts or the instant messaging -real time-ish frame of the pace that I think a lot of people (besides me) *think* in, and the people who are not able to sleep and are awake at 6:43 q.m. because the sleep is not coming, and not cuz we just got up. .. we are apt to respond to a KZbin video comment from 6 years ago as if it was a FB messenger chat 6 min ago, and I am clearly (to me anyhow ) being a sarcastic twat because it irked me to get a peek into the urinal of the guys mind, and I think if tori had medical reason originally when the surgery shit started, it was a little excessive. I have a cousin who is 4 years older than tori, and got a lot of migraines which are. ..insurance companies pay for botox treatment. The bitch is hooked on them and looks like a mask now. And she had a nose job and I think it is not a good face now.

[@jasmineroberts6046]

I also want to add that the reason people comment on her plastic surgery is because, even though her music legacy remains in tact, by having plastic surgery, everything she's ever said about female empowerment, about being yourself and accepting yourself as a woman and fighting the men in the suits has been lost. All of it. A life's work. It's really hard not to be cynical in the face (pardon the pun) of that.

[@z00ts00t77]

Now take Patti Smith, that's how you grow old gracefully staying true to your spirit.

[@ashleyhathaway8548]

"...everything she's ever said about female empowerment, about being yourself and accepting yourself as a woman and fighting the men in the suits has been lost." Fond of hyperbole, are we? Cosmetic surgery has very little to do about appealing to men or seeking their approval. Body-image issues stem from a myriad painful places, but to suggest that going under the knife is somehow anti-feminist is reductive and offensive in its lack of nuance.

[@stefanocautavera]

[@Itshollymoon]

Ask Dolly Parton about that. Your flesh sack does not dictate your values. Nothing about getting work done cancels out anything that she has said or stood for before. Choosing how you look is about being happy with yourself and has absolutely nothing to do with appealing or submitting to people.

[@TearInTheirHands]

I love Tash stories so much!

[@rienjen]

Tori's music about women empowerment is about choice. Want to be a housewife?--as long as it's what you want, then great. This negativity about her plastic surgery...wow. It's something she wanted to do, so she did it. If she stuck to the social pressure of (well, you're a feminist, so you can't care about your looks), then what message does that bring?

[@laurielou2]

I agree. She was the last one I expected to get caught up in all that crap. What a waste.

[@Bryan198026]

Well I'm not necessarily a fan of her music, but this woman definitely has a heck of a voice on her. It's also good to know she's got a good sense of humor. LOL.

[@annabelleperras1601]

So proud to be an Annabelle!!

[@SteevDragon67]

Tori looks to be one of the coolest moms ever!

[@savas33]

yeah that's the whole point, she looks amazing for someone in her late 40's cause she had stuff done. I'm all for it, but at least do it right. She looked older than she does in this video in the Scarlet's Walk era, but she looked so much more beautifull there. She's unrecognisable now

[@matheusalois]

My son will listen "Tash" Amos!

[@AlongCameMary]

I think its impossible not to think she has, but her work as an artist is still great. Would've preferred her to not give in, but perhaps it was her decision alone.

[@stevenmitchell1]

Mary Farah, yeah that does make sense. She's been doing plastic surgery for years it seems, but they were mostly tiny and benign changes from the early 1990s.

[@birdiegolden]

13 dudes dislike this female conversation - SURPRISE!

[@bettyemachetetmi5005]

Birdie Golden 15 dudes who have probably said"huh? Who? What?" As their own mates were telling a story leading to a point where they have to retain "my friend Lisa from the old office...she invited us to get wedding Friday." Or "are you listening to me? I have to go pick up Shorty and afterwards I was going to get that jewelry from Rachel." Same guys 👎👎👎 "Why is the one suit of mine pressed and hung out?" ....👎👎👎👎"Wedding I told you about last week? Lisa and Gene? At the pier? Michael!" Pause. "Honey I don't really pay attention to women talk." Later...."Where did you get the necklaces?" ....."Rachel. Before you ask me, my twin sister. Remember? Looks like me only a little bit less pissed?"😉

[@JenovaDoll]

This is Tori Amos?

[@Magicalcutzi1]

SHUT UP ABOUT HER FACE. I can't believe people are still talking about surgery! This interview has nothing to do with that, she's talking about her daughter. For goodness' sake, she's like 48 now! She's aging! Usually when humans are aging, their faces look different. And NO she is not pregnant. Why do you have to be so judgmental and harsh? Why can't you just enjoy her beautiful music, stories, and personality? In my honest opinion, I think she looks amazing for someone in their late 40s.

[@raisingirl88]

I totally agree :)

[@jennyhesperus]

Argh! I am disgusted that so many people are obsessing over her physical appearance. I don't know if she's had surgery or not, and I don't care; it's none of my business. I am not a fan of plastic surgery, but how is it that different from wearing high-heels or make-up, or dying your hair, or trying to prevent wrinkles. Women, it is NOT your job to be beautiful. You don't owe that to anyone. But...if you choose to embellish your appearance, it is no one's business but your own. Tori is lovely.

[@chrismail]

Kate Bush would be ashamed of you for that comment. There is not a slight similarity between the two, completely different music. I think it's powerful for her to have plastic surgery, cause she don't give a damn what you(or anyone else) thinks about it. :)

[@ciararavenblaze]

oh MAN, I haven't laughed this hard in a while. XD!! wow. Tash is a spunky kid!

[@jasmineroberts6046]

I've been listening to Tori for 22 years. Love her. But I just wish she would show a little more tact when talking about parents who divorce. I mean, ouch! We can't all get it right, like you. And for some of us, it is a bit too late to go back and say, Mum, Dad, it's like this. So she should be thankful for her parents being together and for still being with her husband and being blessed with her wonderful daughter and maybe not try to criticise other families.

[@ChristopherSadlowski]

I know I'm reading the comments and people are all bent out of shape for saying things about they way she looks but, woah. What happened? She looks good but, huh, just not the Tori I grew up with. She also sounds different too...more lucid and normal. Maybe being a mommy has just changed her.

[@UltimateEnd622]

She meant it like Natashya came along on tours. Obviously she didn't perform, but alot of her early life was spent on tour buses.

[@sleepypoodle]

I completely disagree, the only similarity between Tori and Kate is that they are women who can sing and play the piano, but their styles are completely different and Tori is far more talented and a much better pianist.

[@leftyla]

Off topic, but OMG I love your screenname! lol

[@JaneWillowMusic]

where can i find the videoclip with her daughter in it?

[@feriwarlock]

I don't know why women in entertainment resort to plastic surgery so much. Tori Amos is a perfect example of how you don't end up looking better, you just look different. So, what's the point?

[@ciararavenblaze]

@starlesswinter I agree! I think she was just very, very comfortable around Rosie--and I think that comfort level is a *HUGE* factor in how she acts here versus the super-long pauses in the other interviews. I think that when she's uncomfortable, she suspects that the journalist will use the TINIEST slip-up as a chance to figuratively burn her at the stake, and so she feels like she has to be super-careful with her words. that's how it seems to me, anyway.

[@UltimateEnd622]

Most beautiful woman in the world, Surgery or not.. She didn't need it, but hey, she wanted it, she got it, and it's not hurting anyone.

[@chrismail]

The comparison to Kate Bush is a bit odd I think. Just because she's quirky and female, she's kate bush. People will always compare those that are talented with each other!!

[@laurielou2]

I've loved this woman since Little Earthquakes. I have virtually all of her albums. This album was the worst thing I'd ever heard musically. Not one "song" worth listening to for me. I long for the Tori of old....

[@ZZqezza]

I've always thought that Tori will be one of those women who allow themself to age gracefully ...

[@toribjork10]

huh? i didn't say she said tash performed. i said tori said "12 months" instead of just saying "one year" when talking about her child's age. like how parents obnoxiously talk about the age of their child in terms of months for way too long.

in June of 1997 I thought to myself I can't wait to see how beautifully Tori will age. this isn't what I expected. but hey cool nonetheless

[@morkygorky]

Sadly she took matters in her own hands...... it does seem to have mellowed a little bit though...

[@joeschmoe373]

She had her very very cute dimples surgically removed...what a shame! Awesome talent though.

[@beyondher]

Rosie's question "has your life totally changed since being a mum?" must be the dumbest question I've ever heard. What could be more life changing that becoming a mum?

[@stillme4you]

She mentioned somewhere that she was dealing with a painful jaw deformity so maybe it's some weird medical thing.

[@julesgiessinggourley2228]

Um guys...? People age. Not sure if you all know this or not, but as people age so does the body. What did you look like 20 years ago? Shame on you for not looking exactly the same! People are people whom have the right to do, or not do with their body as pleases them. If you don't know this then I think you should have listened to her lyric a bit closer because you don't get it! Aside from that she's stunning as always, in voice, spirit, wisdom, and body.

[@destroyermaker]

Nobody looks like that from natural aging. It couldn't be more obvious.

[@mildredhighcock7333]

"as people age so does the body" ? You appear to have separated the body from the person here. Needs rethinking. Of COURSE no one looks the same as they did, 20 years ago, let alone 5, the point you're missing here is most people age naturally, what Tori has done sadly is given into the ways Americans ( and as a result now most of the Western World ) expect their celebrities to look after a certain point. It's not gracious. Madonna too. And Cyndi Lauper. All ladies who are supposed to care less what the World around them thinks. Individuals, who are sadly like most of the rest. America dislikes old. It scares America. It likes new. It tears down buildings. It stops its actresses getting parts after a certain age. All part of the Hollywood myth. Go to Europe. They're proud of things with history. Yes, Tori et all ought to be able to do whatever they want with their looks, the issue here is, had society not dictated how they should look, I don't believe for one second that any of them would have been having surgery, for themselves.

[@nowapaz6606]

@@mildredhighcock7333 I agree--and the irony is that if they had let themselves grow old gracefully, they would certainly have looked better than the monstrosities they look like now--there ought to be laws against doctors taking knives to beautiful faces like hers--I don't care how much they want it, I wouldn't have touched that face for all the money in the world--she had an absolutely one in a million face

[@BobChaos23]

Because instead of becoming a beautiful older woman who accepts who she is she has goten surgery, which to many is contrary to the overall spirit her music has presented of defiant self acceptance and such. It's her body and she is allowed to do as she likes, of course, but then people are also allowed to have an opinion on that contradiction. Some of us were looking forward to a woman who seemed to accept herself, and her unique look, but that is gone now.

[@stommyboy]

Rosie O’Donnell has kids? How’d that happen?

[@missbeaniegirl]

you know Ive thought that for a few months now, everyone is so caught up in surgery stories, (get over it,) but surely if she was pregnant and showing this much it would have come up in conversation ..??

[@FullStorymode]

No, that's totally fine. Sounds a little weird especially for me because I was kind of a late bloomer. However, my point is that people always say "Oh he or she sounds so mature. It's so great. Good job" I think No, it's not. Let kids be kids. Applause like that only induces pressure and later they complain about how their childhood or gowing up years slipped past them. And then you're trying to make up for it when you're old - some by paying their surgeon very well.

[@marie81455]

Everyone wears wigs now.. it’s just a part of fashion now. And her face it’s Botox. That’s why she looks different and it’s not permanent .

[@FullStorymode]

Wait a minute Tori, honey, your oh so thought out daughter must have been about 11 years old when you did this interview. Now, she has her sexuality figured out at this age, is ready to talk about it AND thinks that black guys are hot? A girl who has been listening to the blues for 2 years at that point? That seems as unlikely as your face, I'm sorry. Why does it always have to be so ingenious? Why cant Tori Amos' daughter not simply like ponys and pink things? I know I did and I'm a guy :-)

It's more sad to me than anything that she has given into the pressure to maintain an unnaturally plastic look. Unfortunately this has coincided with the decline in quality of her music. I've followed Tori's career for over 14 years, and her sound is so different now--over-produced and lacking authenticity. Think it's a surprise that coincided with her surgeries? Not saying you are wrong, just clarifying my stance, which I don't think is "hateful".
