Oh my...so...there's tourdates for Tori showing up. Tickets for the Paris show went on sale two weeks ago, by mistake so it turned out. At first I was like OMGWTF I need to get a ticket. The Paris show even was a show I could go to. But there was this doubt. And now...well...it would be nice to see her in concert this year, but if not...I don't think I would feel too disturbed about it.
Which reminds me of years ago when I was so desperate to see her in concert and couldn't make it. I was thrilled when I got to see her live for the first time.
But then last time I met her in person and...well...it wasn't OMGWTF at all for me. I expected so much from it, but when I saw her in person...well...I now know why it's better to have your dreams and not make them come true.
I still love me some Tori, but her last album was disappointing and I'm scared for her next album. The concerts for 2005 were okay, but vocally, not that exciting. I sometimes listen to the official bootlegs and while her playing is great, her voice starts to annoy me a little. It's not as powerful as it used to be. I miss the rawness of Pele and Choirgirl, and I miss the pureness and simplicity of Pink and even Earthquakes.
I first got in touch with her music in 1996, and it was HEAVEN, and I still adore the first few albums and I love the TVAB live album SO much, but that's also what I miss.
Same with her appearance...I know it shouldn't matter much, but...I kinda miss the old Tori looks where she looked sane and normal and not like this fashion icon. I know we all age, but I appreciated it so much when she would express herself in a somewhat normal, sometimes even angry way. Her songs, but also her thoughts helped me in so many ways and it's what I miss these days.
I think that for the first time in my life I will actually first listen to the songs online before deciding to buy the album. I really hope we'll get some of the rawness and pureness back with the next album, where her piano playing is more important than all the extra added sounds and instruments.
I never thought I would feel this way, and always ignored it, but now, with the upcoming tour and album I start to realize my Tori love has calmed down a bit. Which is a shame, cause really, there has been no other artist who has touched me, and still touches me the way she does...
