I I find this woman hypnotizingly beautiful.

[@jacobrhodes7433]

Tori Amos is a true genius. Her music is different but at the same time fantastic.

[@TheHypernaught]

Tori Amos the only woman to kill metal songs on the piano. She is a fucking genius

[@guitaristssuck8979]

She's like the Hendrix of piano... on steroids

[@MeelisMatt]

she truly loves garland, look what warm glare she had in her eyes when she looked that performance.

[@minners71]

One of the sexiest women to ever grace this planet.

[@kyraleigh78]

what an absolutely charming interview...i think that's the first time i've seen a host show video footage as a "gift" to one of their guests :) - to see tori's face light up like that was priceless!

[@adrianaramirez7383]

The way she describes Judy's style is exactly what she does to us, Tori can be singing to a massive audience and she'll make you feel like she's playing just for you. I hope she's immortal 🥰😍😘

This has been heavily edited down. Jools didn't just stop her in the middle of sentence or anything originally. You can see the cuts.

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

I love her music So much. She's a Goddess!

[@sakurabloom4863]

Tori is so magic. Love her so.

[@Devito0310]

D: so beautiful Pele era thank :)

[@janewright3805]

It's just jools way and he actually likes people who are different so would not have thought tori was a freak, the English just arent as gushing. Tori's music is quite amazing and still continues to be so xxxx

[@leesurridge2947]

I've seen Tori this young before, but never Jools; they both look fantastic. 👌

[@robertschrader]

this was actually in december 1995

[@JudeIceCool3000]

Nice upload. Pretty sure it was 1996 though.

[@llliquidDiamonds]

@robertschrader brrrr i can be sloppy. this has to be the December 9 show. thanks

[@colinmoore8603]

old jools isnt a interviewer..he has like three mins to say s hello make a joke..push their album and say bye. :)

[@kovin-ashleychetty5159]

She's very sad here

[@butchbrewer4923]

There's light tension.The audience seems too hyper perhaps

[@mildredhighcock7333]

I know she's had 'work' done surgery wise, more recently, but does anyone know if the ears remain the same as they do here? I find her so gorgeous here.

[@lindsay556]

Ears haven't changed

[@jenniferlombardi9348]

I don't think she had any work yet at this point. I don't think she did anything until the 2000's or at least after she had her daughter.

[@zyoeru]

um excuse me do you know who he is?

[@dominicjames8559]

Boo! She didn't play one note! 😜

[@frances4007]

I miss this Tori, no facial surgery and no wigs

[@mirceananca5988]

child ”progidy” pianist - really, jools?

[@kerrieabrown157]

She was! Accepted at 5yrs old.. they wanted her to play "Mary had a little lamb" but she was already playing some of the *CLASSICAL LEGENDS 'pieces of work'..... Then she got in shit when that's ALL they wanted her to play, but she's grown up (12-13) & wanted to play *rock n roll, argued the point.. & got kicked out.

[@sakurabloom4863]

That's right!! The Peabody Conservatory rarely accepted 5 year olds....but 5 year Olds can rarely play Mozart. A child prodigy no doubt 🌈

[@kerrieabrown157]

@@sakurabloom4863 IKR! 😊 She is sooooo AMAZING!!!!!! She is my favourite female artist and has been since her first album, LITERALLY.. THE day it was *released here, (Melbourne, Australia).. & the circumstances at the time..(Was walking home, tripping out, & in shock after seeing & having lunch with my mum & telling her, as I had JUST found out myself, that I was pregnant.) As I was only 16 & living in a Youth Homeless/school housing project 'share flat' with another student my age, near the 'university level'- academy of performing arts.. that I was so lucky to have won a full scholarship to-thankfully. Anyway....my mum took it waay better than I thought she would, so I was relieved but still freaking out about being pregnant-so young, and knowing I would be a single mum for at least (90-100% of the time)..: & trying to work out IF I could even stay in school because my due date was right in the middle of the end of year, final EXAMS! .. my DAD! - knowing mum was telling him for me- so, how he'd REACT when finding out, despite kicking me out at 13yrs old.. *(so I couldn't get kicked out AGAIN!! Lol) but , well.. still, you know, just a SWIRLING RACING MIND trying to process it all, when *RIGHT ON CUE, walking past a music store, I noticed and took interest in the CD cover & this *fellow 'red head' musician I'd never seen or heard of. I walked in and the shop was like the windows & advertising boards out the front -TORI AMOS-Debut album *posters and banners etc, EVERYWHERE. They have this wall with a bench and headphones lined up to pre-hear any CD you wanted to, so of course, I had to. OMG!! as I was reading ahead (CD insert) and seeing the song titles & already LOVING what I was was already hearing, then seeing "Mother" & the lyrics & the ...."red head circus girl, without a safety net".... Which I literally was, (hence the academy I was on a scholarship at), & say no more. I bought & took that CD home & absolutely DEVOURED IT, and was in tears of so many emotions & JOY. I have been the same with every album. She literally came on to the scene at the time I needed something like that. It helped me deal with & stay myself & as so many do..her ability to make it sound like a certain song or more..are just for (or about) you, etc. Don't worry, I know they aren't. 😋 The closest I've been is a few hugs & photos and CD's signed with a msg for me, & my daughter..& 5yr younger son. 😍👐😊
