Tori Amos Interview with Kennedy on MTV

[sTapleEVA]

4:11 LOL XD

[MichelKulmann]

Does anybody know the name of the song playing from 0:57 to 2:10?

Thank you.

[SuperIllusiveman]

Wow, Tori has zero understanding of what fascism really is. Favoring the group or collective over the individual leads to intolerance of any opinion that doesn't go with what the collective deems acceptable. Usually, the collective will than silence the unacceptable opinion with the threat of or use of violence. To do so would be authoritarian and authoritarianism is fascism.

Kennedy on the other hand, who supports individual rights over "collective rights", is as anti-fascist as one can get.

[dubified89]

@SuperIllusiveman Amen

[TheSmallgGayChannel]

That's fascism! We've gotta think as a group!

[bwitchedfan1221]

i really like this interview. also makes me wish i had MTV when it was MUSIC television. too bad i didn't get cable til it turned to crap.

[mcraekidd8]

Who's interested in talking about Jesus, masturbation and rape?

Well what else is there to talk about?

[ChrissieBana]

6:43 Is a savior beneath these dirty sheets

[TakeApart]

I don't know why people don't like Kennedy, She was kooky, sincere and awkward. Can anyone name any interviewers on mtv or on any media channel that are at least half as genuine and not anorexic, plastic bimbos today? The only one I can think of remotely close is Alexa Chung and she got canceled after two seasons and she interviewed people who were just a waste of time like Justin Beiber and Rihanna. I would love to go back to a time when stuff like this and Tori were on tv.

[mistabook]

"Who's interested in talking about Jesus, masturbation and rape?"

[MrScoutone]

what was that duet on the beach, with one of the hosts, they did a acoustic mash up

[Famadeus101]

This is the show so many feminized nerds had a hardon for in the 90's. Pathetic

[rugan100]

@Famadeus101 i'm soooooooooooooo one of those nerds!

[kaliyuta]

@Famadeus101 There must be a reason why you find it to be pathetic.I guess the only "nerds" can be Masculine ized.Pathetic.

[Famadeus101]

@kaliyuta Awww poor little indie freak

[kaliyuta]

@Famadeus101 Nothing poor about it.I consider that a compliment.

[skatapoopy]

nice hair o_0

[joester07]

i would fuck kennedy lol

[Klitroseaxl]

Wow Tori has changed SO much. When I see her now she seems lifeless and down. When she was just making it you could see how happy she was. I know she is getting older now but she was stunningly beautiful back then..

[dubified89]

@Klitroseaxl Eventually being a feminist and 'liberal' makes you depressed I think.

[padlock23]

HOW DID THIS KENNEDY BITCH EVER GET A JOB ON TV? TRULY HORRENDOUS. TORI FOR GOD

[jovanna242]

damn..this must be 1994 because i hear Cracker and Juliana Hatfield in the background.

damn i miss the early 90's..

[Kayla82988]

Kennedy is a really bad interviewer, I forgot how annoying she was. The clip makes up for itself though cause Tori is so charismatic

[kaliyuta]

@Kayla82988 She was slightly annoying.Believe it or not.She was the "coolest" thing on that channel at the time.It was either that or the Penis head Mat Pinfield.

[monetlee]

she's so pretty when she made that album!! go TORI!

[GoblinGirl]

This interview confirms two things that I already know.

One, Tori Amos is awesome and a great artist.

Two, Kennedy is annoying as hell and this clip reminds me of why I never liked her during her heyday.

[zither88]

As much as Kennedy was an idiot lol, God I miss the 90s. Even hearing Smashing Pumpkins at the end of this made me go back. I guess it all wasn't sexual enough and by the late 90s many people wanted Britney, boy bands, and goatee metal rap. Oh well nothing lasts forever.

[SickForest]

When I see the whole interview I think "well (like she use to start)... to me, she´s so confident in her speaking" I realize I´m not that confident and I´m a 24 years old guy, and for one moment or two, I think she´s like 23 here, or something and I feel shame about my not-speak-the-truth normal ritual jeje, but I find out she´s 31 here... She looks so young, and I hope to be that confident and beautiful at that stage of my life (beautiful in different levels, of course).

[wickerman2kl]

Haha, I love both of them.  Ah, the good old days...

[narleynina]

stop looking at your fucking shoes!

[janotosinnumeros]

Why is Kennedy so nervous? She's just Tori Amos!...Oh...I get it...

[abortiongonewrong]

Kennedy is truely an idiot.

[DreamedOfHugeSpiders]

this was a good interview. the interviewers accent works for me. no idea who she is though.

[lezfriend]

This is a great clip. Thanks. Tori is an incredible musical talent and Kennedy is terrific. I really miss Kennedy. Does anyone know what happened to her?

[wwefan4life56]

She's older now, approaching 40. Apparently, she hasn't been on tv for 2-3 years now, as far as I'm concerned. I love to see old clips of her.

[Imxoneofthefallen]

I love Tori Amos!

[GDGspire]

At 5:00, it's like Tori got Kennedy crying during the commercial break or something. I bet she did lol. Tori seems to have the ability to cut to the truth of someone after a minute of knowing them. That's how people seem to feel at the meet & greets. There's just something about her...

[kevvie100]

@GDGspire Can you explain what you mean about the meet and greets, any examples? Just that I've never been to one but imagine if I did I'd burst into tears or something.

[guysmileyiv]

Kennedy is the MTV's Steve Urkel! :D

[jmfulls]

lol that was cute "yeah, gits! i love grits!" haha go tori.

[HarryPalma]

Kennedy is hot

[Gerkinstock]

She looked great in pantyhose, that's for sure.

[AerowsX]

Worst example I've ever seen of a woman (kennedy) being intimidated by an incredibly gracious and gifted woman.

Tori Amos was far more gracious than Kennedy deserved, in my opinion. Tori has class.

[Spirithz123]

"A lizard walking around with a stolen genital."

Ahaha, oh, Tori. I love you.

[tickedoffnow]

omfg, I luv Kennedy, I always found her cute XD

[grapefruitiswinning]

Kennedy *does* seem nervous. That's a good observation.

[tissetatten]

kennedy seems nervus of tori.

[Enganox]

Wow, common sense on MTV... what's going on here?! THIS ISN'T THE RAP, FASHION, AND THOUGHTLESS COMEDY THAT I USUALLY FIND ON MTV!

Seriously though, Tori Amos is cool. And in reality, all of her views should be common sense, but aren't. I just wish everyone thought more like her.

[deathtouch100]

Yeah Tori it a bit more intelligent than kennedy, I knew she was southern but was'nt sure from where she wass from until now. N.C, cool.If you truly met her hess, I envy you. I would relish that opportunity.MTV has been horrible since about 1990, this is one of the few decent moments. All you see now is really intellectually unstimulating programs and rap music, good God, I do miss the decent days of mtv.THe only thing I have watched on that crappy staion in the last 15 years is jackass,lol

[njg2q]

Wow, MTV has really changed, huh?

[nextstep333]

@njg2q Its slogan was the Music never stops, now its the Music never plays. The Only reason why it play about 6 hours of Music in the wee hours in the morning is because, they have to prepare the crap they are trying to put on during the daytime programming.

[HilburnMcCormick]

@nextstep333 Seriously. Poor fucking kids nowadays have no idea what MTV once was to pop culture. It was massive. Now. sadly, it's become a platform for vapid "reality" television. The powers that be ought to give it the respect it deserves and just kill the MTV brand, and change it to TDTV, (Teen Drama TV, which is what it's become.

[hessrobertoasheville]

---the way she is watching kennedy "act" in the very beginning is priceless.

---"jesus, masturbation and rape" "FEMALE JOURNALIST"

---"you're a LIZARD walking around with a stolen genital"

----she rolls her eyes at kennedy in frustration at kennedy not being able to grasp anything

---that's "fascism"

---"it;s about rituals"

----"different rituals"

[hessrobertoasheville]

this is very interesting. i have met tori amos very recently and we had a chance to talk about a lot of things that were going on in the world. i will say that tori amos is ver y genuine and she knows exactly what she is doing when she chooses certain words in her lyrics or certain subjects to talk about in interviews. she also knows what is going on on a broader more metaphysical level .

[RedJunkMusic]

i love how they have 'for the birds" playing

awesome

[njg2q]

yeah i love that song too

[swans1997]

Kennedy may be a sweet person, but listening to her, listening to herself talk, always made me want to rattle her friggin head.

[evanymanny]

I dont understand why everyone hated Kennedy so much, I love her, shes so awkward, but in a fun, friend of Daria kind of way.

[rjeanleonard]

that seemed like an incredibly awkward exchange

[ninpiggy]

Wow. Yeah. Kennedy was extremely annoying. She definitely didn't want to hear Tori's viewpoints on things, that's for sure.

[fox0027]

i miss grunge/alternative

[CharlieLeek]

Kennedy, shit she's annoying!

Tori's great though.

[AlucardsQuest]

I might be intimidated by Tori because she's so intelligent. Kennedy is just bonkers though, she's easy to understand.

[MaryJamesMurdoch]

God I forgot how annoying Kennedy was...

[YodaPala]

She rolls eyes at 4:12 ha ha.

[replikantzero]

also juliana hatfieild for the birds...

[replikantzero]

that is curve-superblaster in the background. that is way cool.

[ladypharmtech]

seriously..thanks so much for posting this. I really miss this era....this show and remembering my feelings when I found Tori, because this was the time that I found her. Thank you so much!

[AugustusLarch]

This is the good days before the culture crash of the late ninetines. It's hard to get back there. People are too medicated these days. Folks gotta burn all the prescptions. Get some diesel and a trash can then go outside and torch that voodoo. Maybe this culture will all come back to the mainstream.

[AlucardsQuest]

You can't stop change. Grunge & Alternative took itself way too seriously and it had to be destroyed.

[AugustusLarch]

Nothing about what labels are attached to a movement is the movement. Commercailization is a sign of the end.

An innovative time, like from the ninetes, is coming back. Just wait.

Post Recession Blues

on the radio,

[swans1997]

Grunge and Alternative were never destroyed Ha Ha They simply were regurgitated into lesser forms like the kiddie punk and EMO that's around now. THEY NEED TO BE DESTROYED.

[ShaNaNa1973]

God, Tori is so cute. I love her.

[whyumnot32]

It seems like Kennedy keeps looking down and won't even look Tori in the eyes when she's interviewing her. It's just bizarre to watch.

[YodaPala]

Could this interviewer be any dumber? Everytime the interviewer mentions something that isnt pertaining to the point Tori serves her right back.

[mandacantu]

BoysForPele1989 sure knows what he is talkin about :)

[Istandbyme]

Yeah-real women Genxers not like the mass of bimbos who denegrated Hillary Clinton from Geny and the echo boomer bimbos!!!!

[badwhodo]

i never even noticed the Du Champ in the background. god, MTV was cool back then. i miss those days!

[AntwerpAnt]

Hahaha  Thumbsup!

[Dominicano1197]

why are radical sociopaths allowed youtube accounts? that is a question that will never have a justifiable answer.

[suggarin]

Kennedy is a Republican and she has a talk radio show in Los Angeles on KFI, bashing most Democrats like NObama and Hillary.

[Dibrini]

Where's the video of Henry Rollins trying to rape her?

[phorse]

Who's the moron that gave me thumbs down?

[phorse]

I love kennedy.

[phorse]

YES! This is back in the day when MTV was the best channel on TV!

[iheartcyndi]

dont hate kennedy coz tori's a stiff old think-too-much-er phony.

kennedy is hot & gorgeous & awesome, but not you, you just smell like crap, okay? she smells nice. not you.

[buzzpupster]

This interviewer is simply AWFUL. She is condescending toward Tori. This Kennedy gal--despite her Bachelor Degree in Philosophy from UCLA--has no intellect and no class. Her outfit here is tragic. Tori seems so uncomfortable, and I don't blame her. Kennedy obviously is not too familiar w/Tori's music (despite only 2 albums out at that time).

[LAnotBoston]

Back when a decent interview could be conducted by a decent artist on MTV. This was before Tori and MTV became irrelevant. I was a teenager when this was going on. Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Tori, Bjork, Rollins were all getting air time. It couldn't last forever I guess... eh

[coolgirly08]

shes so beautiful lol!! love how cool and random she is!!xx

[wickedmiranda]

God Tori was hot. I hate Kennedy, god damn republican.

[phorse]

YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!!

[phorse]

Yeah, you're a moron.

[wickedmiranda]

Why? Because I'm not a psychotic, frothing at the mouth Republicunt like you?

[phorse]

Psychotic? Nice attitude, Asshole. I'm not a Repubican and neither is Kennedy.

I suggest you do some research before you start talking a bunch of shit.

[Americanissima]

OK--I'm confused.

You're a woman, calling someone else a cunt??

You sound so angry, too.

[rosario508]

Christ! Tori Amos is a fucking FLAKE!!!!

[BoysForPele1989]

Love your lack of evidentiary support. Shows the frivolous, hateful nature of your mind.

[rosario508]

I can't argue with that.

[liaserethguitarist12]

that interviewer is a fucking twat tori is such an angel and inspiration to us gotta love her please done insult her

[rjeanleonard]

lol, this interview felt awkward? aww i love tori

[RussX5Z]

Tori Amos is brillant I love her. She is so bright, beautiful, talented, and intelligent. Kennedy in this interview is an obvious airhead!

[Gerkinstock]

Lisa Montgomery had great legs.

[metalgirlxxx]

Tori is great and I think the interviewer is cool.

[mark1800]

"You're not a woman, you're a lizard walking around with a human....gential" (motions towards crotch)

CLASSIC.

[RSVibe]

hahaha!!

Tori always has the greatest things to say!!

[JessicaClark]

Didn't Kennedy name her baby Pele? She must be a really big Tori fan! :) That's sweet.

[josie421]

tori is great, but the interviewer is stupid...

[dogbyte420]

yea... Kennedy always pissed me off..don't know why...she just did lol

[wyguy3]

thanks!

[RiotAdiposity]

I LOVE TORI...and I always loved Kennedy...
