It was a great performance of a song I don't like very much, Sleeps with Butterflies. I laughed outloud a few times at her pronunciations and Tori-isms.

No butterflies, no goddesses, this is wrong wrong wrong! But the songs that were good rooted and stuck. They were few, but I was fucked. [/I]

I've read a lot of the comparisons between Amanda and Tori, and I can see how that's convenient for music critics--two crazy women playing piano. And I can see a few similarities, like Amanda says in the diary. But I guess I see them as so very different from each other, with Tori being a prodigy and Amanda never having 'successfully' taken piano lessons. Even at her craziest, I see Tori as very refined, a beautiful singer, an incomparable pianist. And I see Amanda as the exact opposite, in the best possible way.

And while I'm going on and on here, I must say, I've never had any issues with Tori or her music, really. Maybe it's because I was a freshman or sophomore in high school when Little Earthquakes came out. Whereas Amanda Palmer rejected Tori in a kind of 'fuck everything' high school way, I embraced Tori in a different take on the 'fuck everything' philosophy.
