An interesting article by the respectable J.D. Considine from the Baltimore Sun has been appearing in several newspapers across the country. For example, the article appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune on May 29, 1998, and appeared later in the Cincinnati Enquirer on July 17, 1998. Thanks to Kelly Stitzel and Kim for telling me.

Emma Taylor + Andy Tebbutt have kindly sent to me a review of Tori's May 21 concert in Manchester, U.K. that was printed in the "Rochdale Observer" newspaper on 30th May 1998. Read it on my Manchester Page.

I stumbled across this review of Tori's May 20 Liverpool show that appeared in the Telegraph newspaper in the U.K. This was posted to the Precious-things mailing list by Linette Voller.

Mike Gray sent me a review of Tori's May 21, 1998 performance in Manchester, U.K. which appeared in the Manchester Evening News in the U.K.

The May 12, 1998 edition of the San Jose Mercury News had a review of "from the choirgirl hotel."

Toriphile Sabrina translated into English a Tori article that appeared in the May 1998 issue of Visions Magazine. At the moment, I forget what country this magazine is published in, though I believe it is Germany. Two photos of Tori were printed with the article, one was a full page of Tori sitting at the piano with longer and frizzier hair and her head thrown back slightly. The other pic is smaller with just her face, and is a more recent picture. I don't have these photos on the Dent.

Read the Visions article.

Peter Bevan sent me a Tori article that appeared in the May 24, 1998 edition of The Observer newspaper in the U.K. The article includes a really nice photo of Tori.

See the photo and read the article.

Tori appeared twice in the May 29, 1998 issue of Entertainment Weekly Magazine (The issue had Frank Sinatra on the cover.) I would like to thank Toriphiles Nick Raafe, Rebecca, Bret Borgeson, Benjamin Mobley, Sariah Cumming, Nicole, Justin John, Anna Wolk, Turtlhead1, Kathy Martinez, Metrojoe, Katrianna and BrandNew2U, who also sent me a photo of Tori that appeared in that issue.

The first is a quote from Tori in the lead article -- a tribute to Frank Sinatra. They have short quotes from a variety of artists, and Tori's says,


"I played those songs in piano bars. You'd have people sitting around singing 'My Funny Valentine' and 'New York, New York.' [But] nobody could sing a song like him."

Also, in the music section on page 75 there's a little column called My First Concert. It includes a short interview with Tori about her first concert experience seeing Elton John. There is a picture of Tori onstage performing with the caption "Key Moment: Amos took a piano lesson from John." The article is called "Really Big Shoe":

Tori Amos will soon hit the road to support her rich, trip-hop-laced new album, from the choirgirl hotel, and inevitably the audience will contain more than a few awed kids taking in their first-ever show. Twenty-four years ago it was Amos -- then 11 -- who was the wide-eyed first timer when a friend took her to see Elton John at the Capitol Center in Landover, Md. --- Rob Brunner.

"We were pretty little in those years, so we snuck down in front. I tried to get as close as I possibly could to watch his hands at the keyboard. I really loved it. It felt like I could just pull up a sleeping bag and sleep right there under his piano. I was a huge Zeppelin fan at the time, and it took me a while to get into Elton, just because 'Your Song' wasn't really my thing. I was into Jimmy Page. I wanted to be Jimmy Page. Elton was one of the few players I really, really, really spent a lot of time listening to. When you think about it, songs written like that on the piano were really unique; it didn't sound like anybody else. It wasn't copied or rehearsed. But my favorite thing about the concert was his shoes. He was wearing some ridiculous platform extravagance, something only a queen could wear. I have a love for shoes. I collect them. Race cars, paintings -- those aren't my thing. I just hang shoes on the wall. They're architecture, you know?"

A review of Tori's May 20, 1998 concert in Liverpool, U.K. appeared in The Daily Post in Liverpool on May 21, 1998.

Kim H. tells me that a Tori article appeared in the May 1998 issue of the Italian magazine Max. I don't have the article (and it is in Italian), but I have some details about the article, and the photos that appeared with the article, including a really cute one of Tori sitting in a basket!

Kim H. sent me this photo of the cover of the May 1998 issue of Night Moves magazine. This is a very thin, People-magazine sized free magazine outside of the Virgin Megastore's front door in Los Angeles. It's made of newsprint. Inside is a one-page article, again your basic Tori article of late, with the two black and white pix (one of which is the pic used when she was in People magazine's Most Beautiful People issue a while back). The magazine is about music and what's going on around town. The articles are mostly about people who've just released a new cd, and the ads are for local concerts.

The May 1998 issue of the British Airways Highlife magazine contains a good article on Tori with some really nice photos.

Read the article and see 3 photos that were printed with the article.

On May 24, 1998, an article about Tori and her mom appeared in The Sunday Times in the U.K. This is an incredible article where Tori talks about her mom and her mom talks about Tori. I found this really interesting reading. This is the first time that Tori's relationship with her mother has been detailed in such a manner. It is very honest and touching. In addition to reading the article on the Dent, you can also see the photo to the right larger, and a second photo from this article as well.

Read the article and see 2 photos that were printed with the article.

You can read a really wonderful album review by Glenn McDonald at the The War Against Silence web site. This review shows why so many other Tori reviews are lacking. This reviewer really gets into the heart and soul of the album before he reviews them. Included here is a good evaluation of how the mainstram media will misinterpret Tori's decision to use a band. This review is special and is highly recommended reading!

Tori Amos: From the Choirgirl Hotel
EastWest 7567830952, 15.49

It's hard to imagine two more diverse events in a life than th two main influences on Tori Amos's new album: the miscarriage she suffered at the end of her last tour, and the remix of her song Professional Widow, which became such a huge hit last year. Amos has credited both with bringing her more closely in touch with rhythm, and it's rhythm that dominates Choirgirl Hotel. Gone (for the most part) is the girl alone at the piano: Tori recorded almost all the album live with other musicians and added synths and samplers to her repertoire. The live band feel comes through on tracks such as She's Your Cocaine - complete with the instruction "cut it again" at the end; digital beeps and squeaks underpin Hotel; and absolutely everything is layered onto the dense Raspberry Swirl. Her miscarriage also informs her lyrics on the moving Playboy Mommy and the single Spark; and yet, taken as a whole, Choirgirl Hotel is an uplifting experience. It's Amos's most accessible - and will probably be her most successful - album yet.

by Mark Edwards

There was an album review in the May 1998 issue of TOWER TOP, a free magazine from Tower Records UK. Many thanks to Nicholas for sending it to me.

WOMB SERVICE

There's a maturity about Tori Amos' new album that comes as something of a welcome relief. From The Choirgirl Hotel (East West)**** is less frenetic, less spikey and more cohesive than any of her previous albums. The anger is still there but it's now a slow-burning, deeply focussed anger which is both menacing and mesmersing. The loss of achild through miscarriage informs many of the songs with the lyrics talking of sacrifice and screaming in cathedrals and learning to love again. Starting with 'Northern Lad' (a love song to break a million hearts) the songs flow effortlessly, even though they are a strange fusion of huge percussion, smokey jazz feelings and Tori's signature vocals. It may not be as accessible as Little Earthquakes but it will handsomely reward a couple of listens.

by Dee Pilgrim

(PS. The album doesn't really start with Northern Lad... The article also features a small photo of Tori smiling)

Also from a Tower adv. on the newspaper: "from the choirgirl hotel" is the new album from Tori Amos - one of the most strikingly talented songwriters around today. This, her fourth album, shows Tori approaching her music from a new angle, using compelling lyrics combined with pulsing beats to dramatic and sometimes disorienting effect. A passionate record which promises to be her biggest album yet. CD - cassette - vinyl 4th May 12.99 (sale end date 10.5.98 uk prices only)

A recent issue of Seventeen Magazine (I am guessing the May 1998 issue but I am not sure...) has a short review of Tori's new album:

by Fiona Gibb, Seventeen Online Music Columnist

NEW THIS WEEK: From the Choirgirl Hotel, Tori Amos' fourth full-length album, hits stores May 5. Her best CD to date (and that's saying a lot -- I totally live for Under the Pink), Choirgirl marks a break from the usual Tori-plus- her-piano formula -- on the album's 12 tracks, the "Caught a Lite Sneeze" chanteuse is backed by a bunch of other musicians. This only adds to album's diverse sounds. Although tunes like the sweeping "Northern Lad" and "Spark," the album's first single, sound pretty much like classic Cornflake Girl, songs like "Hotel" and "Raspberry Swirl" show a techno influence, while others, like "She's Your Cocaine" reflect the classic rock roots that Tori's shown us before (on her "Crucify" EP, she covered Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones, and also included a rendition of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit").

But Tori fanatics, I mean, fans, fear not: Even with all Choirgirl's innovations, some things haven't changed. Tori's vocals are still breathtaking -- and her lyrics are as obscure and intriguing as ever. This is a must-have disc.

There is an article about Neil Gaiman which was posted to the Addicted To Noise web site. Neil mentions Tori quite a bit in the article. Thanks to Beth Winegarner for first telling me about it.

The German record chain WOM (World of Music) has a respective magazine, and in the May 1998 issue, there's a one page pic of Tori, along with an article called "Happy panting from Cornwall".

Toriphile Nicholas has sent me an incredible "must read" article/interview from the May 1998 issue of Attitude Magazine in the U.K. Tori says "She's Your Cocaine" is in a way a reference to her rock chick days, says that if any remixes are released for the new album, they will be remixed by her only, talks about the fame and the new album. Great Tori quote from the article, "Someone asked a friend of mine ' Hey do you and Tori wanna go see Scream 2?' and she said, 'fuck that, Tori lives this every night - she is Scream 2."

Peter and Carlo report that Tori is on the cover of Audio Magazine in Germany for May 1998. They describe the publication as a HiFi-Magazine which includes a cover story about Tori and her new album in the music section. There is also a short review of "from the choirgirl hotel" and they gave the album 4-5 ears out of a maximum of 5. The title of the article is translated as "The New Life Of The Piano Primadonna".

Marci Stevens reports that the May 1998 issue of Elle magazine contains a short but positive review of "from the choirgirl hotel." No photo was printed with the review. It said:

The popular perception of Tori Amos is a kooky nature girl who talks to fairies. In fact she's an obsessive perfectionist -- and as "From the Choirgirl Hotel" proves, a studio wizard to boot. Her new songs are like mini epics, nearly operatic in scope, sound, and emotion ; by contrast, the lyrics are uncharacteristically direct and intensely personal.

Toriphiles Daniel Bergquist and RBuurma report that a negative album review of "from the choirgirl hotel" appears in People Magazine. I am not sure what issue it appears in, but it is also on the People web site. The article was written by Steve Dougherty.

Some talking points for parents of teenage Amos fans:
As always, avoid further alienation by emphasizing the positive. In conversations with your child, note Amos's accomplished musicianship, her years of classical training, her soaring soprano, the complex structure of her songs. No need to mention that you find her music repetitive, boring, and in dire need of a backbeat. Pretend you can't understand everything Amos says - she slurs most of the bad words anyway - and if you happen to read the lyric sheet, shun sarcastic remarks about phrases like "Lollipop Gestapo" and "ice cream assassin." Discuss less obscure song on this CD, like "Jackie's Strength." It includes a line about "lunch boxes worshipping David Cassidy," a perfect opening for an anecdote or two about pop stars in your day. Or "Playboy Mommy," which actually has a story to tell. Above all, be convincing. The more you pretend to like this album, the less your kids will want to listen to it. (Atlantic) Bottom Line: A mess; don't linger here for long.

There were two articles about Tori in the Sunday, May 17, 1998 edition of the Washington Post. One was an article about Tori and the other was an album review.

The Chicago Tribune had a good article about Tori in their May 17, 1998 edition.

A small article on Tori was in the 16th - 22nd May issue of the UK "Radio Times" TV/Radio listings magazine. Thanks to Emma Taylor + Andy Tebbutt for sending this to me:

THE TORI PARTY

Tori Amos is absolutely huge in her native USA. Fans run internet sites that analyse her autobiographical lyrics, speculate wildly on her personal life and even list the contents of her larder.

In the UK she has a low profile; after all, female solo singers with a confessional bent are less scarce over here, and Amos herself admits to a huge Kate Bush influence. But her albums sell in respectable quantities, and last years dance remix of 'Professional Widow' brought her to a younger, more fun loving audience, a constituency she's keen to woo with her latest album, 'From The Choirgirl Hotel'. She'll be performing selections from that on the last in the current series of 'Later with Jools Holland' this week [May 22, 1998]; fans wishing to experience the Amos live experience can catch her on a full scale UK tour that runs until the end of June.

There is another Tori article in the May 15, 1998 edition of the Orange County Register called "A hunka burning Tori Amos" by Ben Wener. It concentrates on the devotion people have for her and the Dent is even mentioned in the article. I basically liked this article, though I strongly deny the line that says, "Whitehead apparently lives only to chart Tori's ever-changing course." I do have a life away from this web site Mr. Wener!

Ticketmaster's Live! Daily featured a review of Tori's May 6, 1998 concert at the Wilshire theater in Los Angeles, CA.

Many people remember the very negative review of "Boys For Pele" that Rolling Stone published in January 1996. In fact, you can still read it on the Dent. It appears things will be very different for "from the choirgirl hotel." Ears With Feet Scotch and Brian Wong have informed me that Rolling Stone has a review for this album on their web site, and I am happy to report that they gave the album 4 stars! This redeems the magazine in my eyes. This lead review by James Hunter appears in the May 14, 1998 issue of the printed magazine (with Jerry Springer on the cover.) There is also an interesting cartoon drawing of Tori that accompanies the review.

Two Tori articles were printed in the Sunday, May 3, 1998 edition of the Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper in the Arts & Entertainment section. One article is about Tori herself and the other is about her fans. The article about her fans, called "'Tori-philes': An ultra-candid camaraderie" mentions me and several other Toriphiles, like Beth Coulter and Elizabeth Perry. The author of the article, Daniel Rubin, did his research well and has written what I feel is the best article about Toriphiles I have ever read. It is refreshing to see coverage about Tori and her following that is factual and truthful. I urge all of you to read these articles!

A True Renegade Cavorts on Amos' 'Choirgirl Hotel'
*** (3 stars) TORI AMOS "From the Choirgirl Hotel" Atlantic
By SARA SCRIBNER

Portrait: Tori Amos is serious and disturbing on her new album.

[I] s she a high-boil Kate Bush rip-off or a true renegade--a singer-pianist unafraid to cavort with fairies and howl with wolves? Sometimes Amos is simply both, someone capable of terrific, swooping highs and ungodly, muck-wallowing lows, a woman whose fever either mesmerizes or embarrasses. Before Fiona, there was Tori Amos: strong, passionate, womanly and weird.

On her fifth album, Amos sticks with her recipe of undulating piano and strangely phrased lyrics, only this time she pumps it up with a little electronic trickery here and there, resulting in a complete mix of good and bad.

The highs would be the heart-wrenching "Black-Dove (January)" and "Spark"--despite its unfortunate "she's addicted to nicotine patches" opening line. At the bottom of the barrel are the sappy and nostalgic "Jackie's Strength" and the cartoonish "Playboy Mommy."

The rest of "Choirgirl" sways to Middle Eastern rhythms and throbs to snail's-pace dance beats. In the end, the electronic cha-cha of Amos' "Raspberry Swirl" outdoes most of the songs on Madonna's new album because, rather than doling out nice-sounding self-obsession, Amos actually takes on the serious and the disturbing. The result is a complete and baffling portrait of the artist as a flawed human being.

TORI AMOS "Spark" (East West).

Straight off Kate Bush's soul-baring "Never Forever" album it may be, but she's still the only Tori worth bothering with. All the other songs are about Xmas.

Ross: "She is just the best. This bloke who did our video got her to sign a photo for me. She's great. This is typical Tori, with a quirky odd bit before it goes back to being normal again. She was around when all that grunge stuff was really big - all loud guitars and people shouting - and her songs had the same effect on me as a loud grunge one. Even though it was just a woman with a quiet piano, there's something about her thats just as powerfull as Nirvana. She's sung stuff directly to me in the past, it's indescribable how much she means to me."

Will: "I'm not a fan, but I ain't gonna cuss it 'cos Ross and Wojtek are obsessed."

Ross: "Yeah, did you know Kate Bush does a song with her on the new album ! I'm really pissed off though, 'cos she's playing on my Birthday in June at the Albert Hall - and we're gonna be in Portsmouth. I'm hoping she might do one of the festivals, although it's not really her thing, is it ? "!

Will: "It would be funny if it were raining at Glastonbury, and she was having loads of mud thrown at her..."

Ross: "I'd jump up on stage and protect her! I'd go on with a big towel and rub all the shit off her piano. And I'd close the piano lid down - 'cos she has it open all the time, and mud might get in there."

The Independent (Eye On Friday section, 1st May, P.17)

From The Choirgirl Hotel

This is the latest installment from Tori Amos's diary of pain and was prompted by her miscarriage. Or so the press release claims, since the lyrics contain fewer references to babies than a Pulp song about a wardrobe; for the most part, the songs seem to be random compilations of phrases too loosely edited together to sustain interest in their deciphering. The most direct lyrics is probably "Jackie's Strength", where the image of Jackie Kennedy is used as a beacon of female integrity, bolstering a teenage girl's first fumbling, anorexic attempts at sexual attraction. "If you love enough, you'll lie a lot / Guess they did in Camelot," reckons Tori in the album's sharpest lines. Unfortunately, they prove to be the exception rather than the rule in terms of clarity, most of the albm being awash with impervious images such as "Black dove, you're not a helicopter / You're not a cop out either," which cops out comprehensively when it comes to meaning.
