Am surprised she did not go blind after all of these camera flashes. People are so damned rude.

What about the guy who yells out, "You're hot!" Stupid douchbag!

I don't think guys like that even realize what ass's they make of themselves when they yell out shit like that!!

[casey75204]

Totally agreed. Of course, if you ask me, it does seem that the general number of douchebags at concerts is getting out of control over the last decade. And, their levels of douchebaggery is reaching epic levels, too.

Call me old fashion, but I go to concerts to listen to LIVE music! Not scream at the performer, check my e-mail, send text messages, or take a phone call. Granted, I was holding a video camera during the show, so I could share it with you all. I am aware of the irony.

[casey75204]

To be fair, all the flashes you saw during "Lady in Blue" are mostly the whole throng of press that you can see right in front of where I'm standing. And, that's kind of the point of doing a showcase at SXSW ... press coverage!

But, under normal concert conditions, I totally agree with you.

*shrug* I loved The Beekeeper. But I am of Tori's age and by now, I have been through a lot of similar experiences to those which seem to have inspired TB. Musical tastes aside, a lot of Tori's fans (younger? dunno) seem very uncomfortable/uninterested/dow­nright repelled by what she made musically of her experiences in the worlds of newfound maternity, the onset of middle age, and the inevitable deaths of people she loves along the way. The second half of life has a lot of this stuff yanno. Deal

[casey75204]

I think this is a very valid, if not terribly popular, point that you make. And, I have no problems with artists changing and evolving over their career. As a married, middle age woman and mother OF COURSE Tori's records won't all be BfP or FtCH. I respect that. My problem with Beekeeper wasn't the subject matter, so much as I thought she didn't find any real new or interesting ways to explore the subject matter. But, I'd never deny anybody their Beekeeper experience and more power to you! =)

Epic levels of douchebaggery!!! LOL!

I remember when I saw Tori on the BFP tour in NY....this insipid girl came screaming out throughout the entire show, "Play Winter!" Like Tori was some sort of jukebox....finally Tori told her to simmer down. Wish she would do that more often!!

[Doylefromhell]

its been almost a year, and this is as impactful at this moment as it was at first listening... Thank you so much Tori for your gift to the world!!

[MithraMusic]

I started listening to her when I was fourteen, in '03 or something. I personally think ADP was unbelievable, but I enjoy every single album of hers (YKTR excluded lol.)

[RasputnaViolist]

i fucking love this song!!! it's my second favorite off abnormally attracted to sin.

[issofunky]

what I'd REALLY like to know is if she ever laid Plant....we all know she wanted to...but did she?

[issofunky]

I'll say this.....the critics pan her because she INSISTS that you induldge her lesser ideas to get to the better ones.

She writes some great stuff (police me) but at the same time she writes too much and not all of them are winners....not all of them are done when she releases them. overall...she is pan'd unfairly, but she could have a pretty serious effect that if she was concerned about it. (she isn't)

that being said...this song is one of her finest, her best in years.

[vins1979]

why journalists and critics are always writing not-so-good reviews for tori? to be honest with you, i find aats much more better than adp, and i was not really expecting that. this album has some really fantastic songs that nobody else would have singed nowadays!

[ScribbleScrabbleGirl]

the sound on your video is really good!! Thru the sound board?

[rekcufrats]

Oh my God! I love this song! I've heard the other songs on the new album and this is the one that really gets to me. Just awesome!

[Choirgirlfaerie]

really..did that tool seriously just scream YOU ARE HOT!!! Anyhoo..she is still PERFECTION AND WILL ALWAYS BE!! EARS WITH FEET!!!

[BoysForPele1989]

YES< if you can only get into one song, that one is by far the one to get into
