Carly, I think it's pretty obvious about how much of an asshole I can be in my opinions of other people's music.
I was fully prepared to be an asshole and say "she's too whiney and stupid and she should get back in the kitchen." I almost didn't listen.
I was glad I did. I really do not like her style of music, but the proficiency at which she performs it and the quality of her recordings have left me in awe. I hope she gets a record deal, as there are some lesbians sitting in a coffee house right now that have run out of Tori Amos cd's and need some good acoustic song writing, stat!
As insincere as that sounded, it was totally sincere. Wish her the best of luck for me.
Honestly, I think that's what I like most about her. Even tho I do like the style, its more the actual quality of her music which impresses me. She obviously has talent, which is a lot more than can be said for most of the people on the radio right now. And really, the world can always use some more angsty chick rock.
