It's not that Tori is sick, she sounds like this now. Voice changed with age. Same thing happened to Björk, Joni Mitchell, and the more popular (though much less talented) Madonna and Maria Carey. Don't try defending her, it's normal for a singer's voice to go down on the notes with age.
I love all the technical critiques of Tori's performance coming from people who know nothing about singing or performing. And comments on her skin tone from people who don't understand stage lighting.
She just sounds like she has a cold to me. My high range always goes when I have a virus. Plus, she's spending a lot of time on this tour trying to impress people by singing rougher, like a rock chick--e.g. Code Red and Body and Soul, etc. I love love love those songs but they will tear up a pretty soprano voice like Tori's if she's not careful. But yeah, sounds like she's sick here. She looks paler than usual too. Touring must be so exhausting, seriously. Ugh. I feel for her.
Tori's always been a rock chick. She's just getting back to her roots. I don't think she is doing it to impress, but more so to express. This is what she has to say at the moment, and how she chooses to say it.
You haven't heard anything from her 1996 tour, then, have you? Intense growling and screeching that would do more damage to her vocal chords than her rock chick singing.
she was soooo good, second best event of the weekend, Mika being the best (in my opinion...i nearly died from pleasure when him and Beth Ditto sang together)
i loved her set so much, especially coming on as Santa, classic!!!
her voice "goes that way", it's just not the best arrangement for this song - the guitars make it sound like it's drowning under water. her voice is fine
I agree. The guitar is way too much in the foreground. When I watch the performance of this song with the three piece band for aol sessions (I think it was) it sounded beautiful. It's hard sometimes to sing over everything and ones voice will strain. I've seen Tori live twice and she sounded lovely. She could be doing too many concerts in a row. She seems to overdo her self sometimes with that.
whoa whoa whoa!! just the fact that both of you got so defensive shows how bad she sounded here. just admit it. tori sounds way better on solo tours (at least recently). this song is soo beautiful on the cd and everytime she does it live it looks/sounds like she's struggling with the chorus. and fiona's voice is waaaaay more soulful than tori. it's true, tori rocks waaay better on the piano, but because of aging and so on, it's just normal for her voice to go weaker.
well i've been a fan of both for quite some time now. more of a tori fan at the moment actually. but this really wasn't good. and i'm not talking about the chorus where the guitar kicks in. let's be serious now, in comparison to previous concerts, would you this be on the top of the list? NO!! and all i'm saying is, it's normal for that to happen, hell, it's a miracle she can still do this past the age of 40. and fiona's the queen of alt. lyrics and i want no more talk about that!!

I think it's easier to appreciate the guitar riff more so in the live song :-)

I think this is just a bad version of the song. Other versions were much, much better.

It's hard to play two pianos at once while trying to drown out a whole band with her voice, while being tired from touring and probably 100% beat.
Kickin' ass, Tori!

Fiona has a terrible voice and is a melodramtic and pretntious performer if you can even call her that.

fionasapple 4 years ago
Um, her voice doesn't sound bad? Sounds a hell of a lot better than Fiona Apple, who can neither sing nor perform.
