Casey Stratton - Blood - Morning Show

[overlordMordax]

This was my introduction to Casey. Great to hear the performance again.

[PreciousEarthquakes2]

Ya. Tori Amos wannabe, but with his own music. I just don't like him using her trademarks: red hair, straddling piano bench, and really each movement and gesture... Just no. Voice and song is great though!

[kannbrown65]

He has an amazing voice and songwriting skills.

[skandarswife1]

why does he sound like a girl?

[sailorpfat]

@skandarswife1 The same reason you sound like an idiot.

[dragoon04]

He has an angelic voice... And no, I don't think he's over-influenced by Tori... I don't even like 50% of Tori's songs but I have almost all of his albums... And love them!

[BRANDONCARMODY]

This is beyond awesome.

As far as I can tell, sitting like someone else sits does not constitute plagiarism.

I'm a huge Toriphile and a huge fan of Casey's as well, and aside from "Blood," nothing else from his albums even vaguely resembles Tori's work. Mind you, I'm not saying that "Blood" resembles Tori, I don't think it does at all. Aside from the fact that it has piano and electronic drum-looping and "To Venus and Back" utilizes such things.

He's comparable to Sarah McLachlan, if anyone. & even that's a stretch.

Sigh. He should be my boyfriend.

Casey is a brilliant song writer and performer. Thanks so much for sharing this.

[bradleyroy12]

i love how you can just smell the sweaty balls in all of his videos

[rainharlequin]

haha, not very nice! but hey he does have that kind of raw thing going on, yes he's a lot like Tori, but has his own take on things. Casey is cool.

Casey, I gotta say "WOW MAN!" I have spent 10 years learning Tori music by ear and writing my own stuff. I would love to send you some of the covers that I have done just to see what u think. I noticed you don't have a version of Crucify. If you know how to play it I would love to meet you. I am trying to figure out what keys I'm missing.

[schroeder666]

Way, way too over-influenced by Tori.

[HappyChic727]

I disagree! I think he's done a wonderful job of making his music his own. I see some Tori in there. Oh well. I'm glad to have another artist out there like Tori - there aren't enough. And Tori would be proud of him, I'm sure.

[PoisonedSwan]

@schroeder666 I totally agree, the cheap red hair dye, the straddling of the piano and the arm/hand gestures alone just cry out Tori, I give him props for doing his own material but then again it all too sounds very reminiscent. I feel queesy and embarrassed watching him and I hate that feeling.

[MelTheFaerie]

One of my favorites... Casey rocks!
