Tori expresses the inner life of teen girls, young women, and now older women like NO ONE else.

A lot of metalheads told me she's more badass than most rockstars. Recommended Little Earthquakes to me and yeah, I agree.

Congratulations: You found the best live version of this song on KZbin.

This is Tori at the peak of her career. The videos from this time period are incredible. Everything about her was magical. As good as I’ve seen and I’m a music fanatic. She was also stunning which is just icing on the cake. She was the whole package!,

[@michaelfloss845]

Peak of her career? This recording is from july 3 1991. She even didn’t have her debut album out. Or do you think she hasn’t released anything better since then?

[@stefanscheiner1738]

@@michaelfloss845honestly, I think no, she hasn‘t. Not because her later albums where bad, but her early works were just perfect. Her music is not my kind of music, but Little Earthquakes is so unbelievably good, and these live performances are even better…

[@sandalwhich]

So much anger in this song, I love it.

[@MereAYT]

How in the hell does she not have a Grammy? Most people couldn't even play piano like that, let alone sing like that at the same time, having composed the entire piece personally.

[@brandonedgerarities1462]

this has to be one of the best live performances [by anyone] i've ever seen. check how she moves the mic stand while still playing perfectly w/ the other hand. totally badass.

[@ravencrestmedia]

Actually, the performance in West Palm Beach in I think it was 1997, when she had her miscarriage while on stage, left went to the hospital, came back and finished the concert. THAT was the most incredible showing I've ever seen. Granted, no one knew why she left the stage until a few days later.

[@precioustori1]

Traduction Reverso . Tori Amos is for me the woman who revolutionized the piano and the pedagogy of her teaching. It was the shock in the face of the classical conservatism enclosed in its dogma that prevented the real development of artists in the making. Tori Amos brought an exceptional dimension to piano singing by creating a true symbiosis between voice and piano playing through her original compositions. Thanks to Tori, the piano takes on another dimension and allows more than ever singers and pianists or creative singers to open the gift that nature has given them in order to satisfy the ear of demanding music lovers in search of creativity and novelty. The American school has now understood how the Tori Amos case should be an example to follow and a source of introspective and self-critical reflection in order to avoid the ostracization of the true artists who make the greatness of music. The story of Tori could be written as a film script of a woman who has struggled since childhood for the love of music as the medium of true self-realization. The strength of her commitment has had and continues to have a tremendous impact on Art regardless of the disciplines and styles, to the point that I qualify her as a living Legend of self-fulfilment and self-realization for the pleasure and strength of art. Thank you Tori.

[@CerealDust-nStuff]

I visit this video once a year, just to remind myself of what raw talent looks and sounds like.

Besides the powerful lyrics and stage presence, her skills on playing the piano always blows my mind... This song looks painful to play because is so fast omg

She just ripped my heart out. I don't know whether to love or fear her talent - it is simply not of this world.

[@mattnelson2715]

Has anyone felt the music from her early years are just crisper, her key strokes more definitive than what we have seen in the last ten years. For me there is no comparison, she was hungry and angry. That created a brilliant equilibrium.

[@Paul-cl6uo]

Age affects us all.

[@eleanor4759]

Yes, her 4 albums from the 90's and their respective performances/tours were the best of the best. Afterwards, she had her daughter and was married and that likely took precedence for a while. Besides, she was almost in her 40's, had processed and made peace with a lot and was likely more mellow 💜

[@OneHippiesMusings]

My misguided self couldn't see past the physical when I was a kid, I liked her cause she was incredibly attractive. I'm so glad I grew up and came back to realize what a talent I was witness to.

[@jrushen4235]

[@francisdelbe1252]

Cette interprétation de Precious things est tout simplement fabuleuse. Remettons nous dans le contexte de l'époque, Montreux est le premier grand concert de Tori, il a pour objectif de la faire connaitre. L'organisateur, sous estimant probablement les capacités de Tori, n'a pas trouvé mieux qu'un piano électrique Yamaha.Tori consciente que l'instrument n'est pas idéal, elle va devoir se donner à fond, ( Tori à 28 ans elle re"commence" sa carrière à un âge ou d'autres artistes l'ont terminée)

[@castaka1]

J'aurai l'occasion plus tard, et je ne me priverait pas d'éloges, de m'étendre sur l'expressivité du jeu de Tori.Force est de constater, que la musique s'écoute mais aussi qu'elle se regarde. Tori nous fait ici la parfaite démonstration de la symbiose du son et de la vue.Par ce biais, elle nous permet d'accéder à un niveau de perception sensoriel qui nous permet de qualifier ce qu'est : la Beauté !. Cette façon de se livrer avec tellement de sincérité qu'on a l'impression qu'elle se met à nu.

Tori Amos est pour moi la femme qui a révolutionné le piano et la pédagogie de son enseignement. Elle a été l'électrochoc face au conservatisme classique enfermé dans son dogme qui empêchait l'épanouissement réel des artistes en devenir. Tori Amos a apporté une dimension exceptionnel au piano chant en créant une véritable symbiose entre la voix et le jeu pianistique par le biais de ses compositions originales. Grace à Tori, le piano prend une autre dimension et permet plus que jamais aux chanteurs et chanteuses pianistes interprètes ou créatifs d'ouvrir le cadeau que la nature leur a donné afin de satisfaire l'oreille des mélomanes exigeants en recherche de créativité et de nouveauté. L' école américaine a maintenant compris, combien le Cas Tori Amos devait être un exemple à suivre et une source de réflexion introspective et autocritique afin d'éviter l'ostracisation des véritables artistes qui font la grandeur de la musique. L' histoire de Tori pourrait s'écrire comme un scénario de film d'une femme qui a lutté depuis son enfance pour l'amour de la musique comme le médium de la vrai réalisation du soi. L'a force de son engagement a eu et continue à avoir un formidable impact sur l'Art quelques soient les disciplines et les styles, au point que je la qualifie de Légende vivante de l'épanouissement et de la réalisation du soi pour le plaisir et la force de l'art. Merci Tori.

Parenthèse : Tori Amos est l'une de ces femmes, qui comme le chante Francis Cabrel " elle a du faire toutes les guerres pour être si forte aujourd'hui, elle a du faire toutes les guerres de la vie". Revenons à Précious things. J'ai découvert ce morceau en93; comme beaucoup de français,ne parlant pas anglais,j'entendais les paroles comme faisant partie de la musique. J'y percevai de la sensibilité, de la révolte, de la force et beaucoup d'intensité dramatique.Je trouvais ce morceau super .

Je rêve de rencontrer un magicien qui me demanderai de faire un voeux; je lui dirai : télétransporté moi à Montreux au concert de Tori Amos!

[@precioustori1]

De France. Little earthquakes de Tori Amos est pour moi un album monumental et légendaire illustrant l'énorme et monstrueux talent d'une artiste, qui dès son premier grand concert est considérée par certains comme une véritable Déesse de la musique. Cet album est constitué de plusieurs et véritables Chefs d'oeuvres : PRECIOUS THINGS, en est un exemple; je considère personnellement ce morceau comme l'équivalent de Guernica le chef d'oeuvre de Picasso. On peut, ne pas apprécier Picasso, mais force est de constater, que quand on s'intéresse à l'art pictural, on est obligé, si l'on veut être objectif,de dire que Guernica c'est sacrement balaise. Par la force, l'intensité et la manière dont Picasso et Tori exprime leurs révoltes, je constate une grande similarité. Picasso par les explosions et le chaos dénonce la violence aveugle des nazis et Tori par la nervosité de son jeu de piano, par la hargne de son chant et la violence de ses mots dénoncent l'irrespect d'un homme envers une femme. Dans les 2 cas, c'est la guerre ! La chanson Précious things de Tori est sacrément balaise et a aussi un rôle pédagogique, car elle permet aux hommes attentifs de comprendre un peu mieux la psychologie et les fragilités féminines. A suivre...............
