I received information about this article from Ken Tough, Paul Debraski, and Danica. Danica sent me the photo.
There was a several page spread on the 20 top divas. [Tori was #8]
Tori was pictured wearing a "Junkies Baddy Powder" T-shirt, next to this text:
"Raped at gun point, and culturally abused by a record company that had her fronting some dumb heavy metal band, Tori Amos finally came into her own with 1991's Little Earthquakes, the angry tremor in her voice mistaken by some for a copy of Kate Bush's more fluttery moments. With her astringent and well- practised pianism and her surging cathartic delivery, many squirming males found her too intimate for comfort -- and when she covered Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit and Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love, it was like she'd deliberately walked into the men's urinal. Ouch!"
Here is the top 20 Diva list posted to the rec.music.tori-amos newsgroup by Paul Debraski:
20 Mary J Blige (whose name I thought was Bilge for about 2 years)
19 Bjork (witha charming full page photo)
18 All Saints
17 Marianne Faithfull (witha someowhat revealing photo, shocking!
16 Polly Harvey (a neat full page photo)
15 Dolores O Riordan (they mention how she a bit off her rocker)
14 Shara Nelson (?)
13 Alison Shaw (Hey Dances, look, the Cranes!)
12 Skin (from Skunk Anansie) Wearing a shirt: Clit Pop!)
11 Sinead O Connor (A very cool B& W full page photo)
10 Martina (from Tricky's albums)
9 Lauryn Hill (from the Fugees)
8 TORI AMOS (Sadly a small circular photo, of her in her Junkies baddy
powder shirt, witha shit eating grin tee hee) *text at the end
7 Gabrilelle (?)
6 Erykah Badu (A very neat full page photo)
