Tori Amos - Northern Lad, Live - Manchester Apollo

[MayweedMole]

I was at this gig, as I never miss the lovely Tori and I am from Canada and am married to a Northern Lad....they are awesome!! :)

[nateb79]

I think her voice is phenomenal here as it usually is. This song gives me goosebumps. This version included. I would have loved to have been there.

[mirandalatimer]

Her voice is fine here.

[mcflystyle]

This is great! But hey did you notice at the beginning she points over the piano and changes the word ''lad'' to ''lady'' ! :) Interesting and adorable!! Love Tori! x

[carlandwayne]

P.s anyone on thisd thread who has anything bad to say about Tori should not be on here or call themselves a fan! She may be nearing 50 but fuck me she pisses on all the shit in the charts and still has a voice like an angel! unlike aomw of the 'stars' of the charts today!

[carlandwayne]

At the meet and greet b4 this gig she asked where I came from because she recognised my accent. When I told her Doncaster, yorkshire she said she knew Doncaster and she said to me and I quote " so you're my northern lad then" and I nearly died!! especially as she played it that night!! God I love you TORI!!!! X X X

[liledz1]

so cool

[DrNordo]

My favorite Tori song.

[Lynchyguy]

I went to this gig too and I'm really glad you managed to film a whole song. I'm hoping someone filmed Big Wheel too! That was the best live version of that song ever! Matt Chamberlain is a monster drummer.

[randyandy97]

first time seeing Tori on Sunday and words can not describe how amazing she was

[seanpdoherty]

Yeah thanks for the video, there was too many good moments, but what about spacedog! loved it!

[lilleulv73]

What happened to her voice? God, she sounds like she's panting, not singing!

And the falsetto is terrible!

[jasperweary]

Im sorry, but you're a fucking moron.

[lilleulv73]

I beg your pardon? Just for your information I WAS a huge Tori fan. I have all CD's and singles she released. But if you can't hear that her voice is totally unrecognizable, I think you're either deaf or fanatic.

[aenemalateralis]

hm lets hear your falsetto you genius. get the fuck outta here.

[lilleulv73]

First: my falsetto is not the issue here. Not even my person, so please comment on Tori's voice and do not insult other people.

Second: I have the same right to be here as anybody else, and you have no authorities whatsoever.

Third: I've just come out from a WONDERFUL Tori concert in my city, where her voice was amazing. I think I can be objective in my criticism, praising her performances, when she deserves it. And criticizing them if her voice is completely out of tune and out of passion.

[darcyd13]

Well, she's getting older and has been touring for months. I think she sounds beautiful, and not just in spite of all things considered. Nothing can stay the same, you know.

[montsyblackmadonna]

@lilleulv73 It is not falsetto,she is a soprano.

[lilleulv73]

@montsyblackmadonna

For your information

"Soprano" is a name that defines a tonal range in a woman.

"Falsetto" is a technical way of performing on high note.

So a "soprano" can sing a "falsetto", which is exactly what Tori does in "but I FEEEEL something is wrong".

[montsyblackmadonna]

@lilleulv73 I know what falsetto is,and I know what a soprano is.Tori was not singing falsetto.Her high note just sounded off.

[lilleulv73]

@montsyblackmadonna

We can discuss if the "FEEL" is falsetto (and I do think it is) but the (awful) "'cause of the rain" is certainly a falsetto. And no excuses, her voice and interpretation in this performance is painfully awful.

Tori is such a gifted singer and performer, and she has proven she can do so much better than this series of panting...

[montsyblackmadonna]

@lilleulv73 I agree with you that it is painfully awful,because for whatever reason,Tori's voice was not cooperating.Nevertheless she was not singing falsetto.

[JZjnr]

Loved it!

Northern Lad and Putting The Damage on were my highlights, on top of all the songs I really wanted Curtain Call, still it was my first ever Tori Amos gig and my second ever gig and I loved it, it was the best!

[BelMagick]

ahhh it was so good. i didn't film this but i got precious things, caught a lite sneeze, cornflake girl and take me with you. I wish it hadn't ended :(

[brainwaster]

Excellent gig, my hilight of the night was Putting The Damage on and Precious Things

[bekonia]

Precious things was mindblowing, best of the night!

[bjorkbjiggler]

It was such a brilliant show - wouldn't have wanted to change anything in the set list - perfect.

[annaclare]

Such a fabulous show - gorgeousness!

[karrisco]

Thanks - the show was brilliant and this was the highlight for me
