Amos Goes Ape****!

76. I saw Tori in Lousiville, KY. She was awsome! I would have given anything to have front row seats. Our audience was rowdy, but not rude. Tori respects her fans and was way into the audience. If Tori is a bitch then being a bitch is a good thing.

77. Good for Tori! She's right about the tickets - my friend and I, avid Tori fans, were in the nosebleed section unfortunately (being students on a budget we had to get the not-as-good tickets) and her bodyguard came to us and gave us front row tickets - I think doing that for her fans is EXTREMELY gracious and I've never heard of any other artist doing that. She is fantastic and flawless in concert so if those 2 girls were on their cell phones all night, as alleged, I'd be pissed off too as a nearby fan. Go Tori.

78. I was once at a Tori Amos concert and got "a look" from her when I leaned over and asked my friend if she knew what I had done with my purse. It was obviuos that Tori noticed I wasn't paying attention to her. She stopped playing the piano and glared at me until I stopped talking. Then, later on, Tori stopped playing again when this old lady in the front row got up during her "Boy's in the trees" number to take a restroom break. Tori was furious and screamed into the mic "Where are you goin' !!" The old lady said "To use the commode" and Tori told her she was luck she didn't come down and kick her back side for interupting her show. Tori is very touch when she thinks people are not listening to her, especially when she sings that soung about the dull flat chested girl who never got a boyfriend and wrote songs that appeal to angry women who missed the boat on finding a man.

There is an incredibly ugly side of the tabloid world. TMZ along with other celebrity media buy pictures from paparazzi who regularly break laws and put the public and those celebrities they stalk in danger.

Below is just a partial list of what most paparazzi regularly do while trying to get that one unflattering and exploitive picture of a celebrity:

Paparazzi stalk celebrities no different than any other criminally insane stalker would,
Camp out in front of celebrities homes,
Go through trash cans of celebrities,
Fly through red lights to get a picture,
Drive on the wrong side of the road to get the picture,
Scream at celebrity children in order to get pictures of them crying,
Harass, intimidate and push the buttons of celebrities in order to get them looking uncomfortable, angry or scared and any other emotion that is less than flattering.

How is this legal?

Tabloid sties such as TMZ, PerezHilton.com and most other tabloid trash sites would rather get pictures of a celebrity at their worst in order to attempt to destroy them and their careers than acknowledge the fact that if it weren't for that celebrity they wouldn't even have a job.

Clean up your act TMZ, otherwise the law will.

80. #7 and #15

Maybe she's tired of rude people with their cell phones. I'm sick of trying to enjoy a movie, concert, and even CHURCH, while people fidget with their phones. It's childish and it's rude. You think she should have quietly given them a warning, and if that didn't work then what, interrupt the show again? There were respectful people there enjoying the show, people who paid for their seats. Maybe they didn't want to pay for a constantly interrupted show.

You guys must be defending those idiots because you too can't put your phones down long enough to watch a show. Grow up.

THANK YOU, TORI

81. No, I think they mean Amos should quietly give notice to the offenders, let front row security know, and if the idiots continue their self-absorbed chatter, get escorted out unceremoniously by the heads up ushers/security. No need to disrupt the show 2X.

82. Have you been at a show when security is hassling someone next to you? It sucks. They often wind up in your way, or yelling over whatever's going on ... no matter how you do it, it will interrupt the show for someone more than once ... first when security and the idiots are warned, and then again when security removes them. By Tori throwing them out right away she caught them off guard. If you warn people you're about to throw them out that gives them more time to cause a scene, or to protest. And how did those even "fans" earn a warning? They were LUCKY to be in those seats to begin with.

At first I even thought "she should have just sent them back to the cheap seats", but that's pretty much telling her less fortunate fans "here, you deal with it". She did the right thing. I've always liked her ... now I like her more.

Again ... THANK YOU, TORI

83. Never a Tori Amos fan but I think I might be now. Been to too many concerts where all people do is talk to each other, or on their phones the whole night. It's very distracting, especially in arena type events where it is never loud enough.

And contact a lawyer? Yes, please. I would love to see these two defend their rude behaviour to a jury and expect to get paid for it.

84. Anybody that is giving Tori grief about lashing out at the rude guests, talking on their CELL PHONES, is sorely mistaken, and can't possibly be a true Tori fan. I have been listening to her, and going to her concerts ever since Little Earthquakes came out. I have followed her for two concert series and met her several times. Her concerts are moving, inspiring, and most of all one of the best experiences of my life. By far the best concert I have ever been to, and that's no lie. I think everybody should buy her CD, they are amazing. My wife is a Tori convert, and is now as much a fan as me. Listening to Tori is like a religion, and the people that follow her are like a movement. So back off to the girl that says don't but her CD, she obviously doesn't take anybody but herself seriously. I have probably been to 50 Tori shows, and she has never lashed out at anyone, so these girls must have been pretty damn rude, most artists would be too worried that it would be bad PR to do what she did, but that's just Tori.

86. If the girls were infact on the phones or talking loudly, they should've been escorted to the back by security or removed from the venue (thats why venues have security), but Tori shot herself in the foot, behaving like that. It was classless, trashy, rude, and in poor taste. I've been a fan of hers since 1994, and I no longer will be. She stooped to a level of a 10 year old brat, taking away the uniqueness and and professionalism that a musician carries. Big mistake Tori.

87. I cant argue that if someone is disrupting an artist or others from enjoying a concert, then they should be made leave if they dont stop. But how she did it is why she is NOT a diva. I dont want to hear her tell a couple of kids "F u" she should have handled it differently- with a little class. I have also read from too many people that she will not let you back in your seat if you get up. I dont care how big of a fan you are , sometimes a women HAS to get up and use the restroom for obvious reaons. Tori , being a woman(who seemingly is always on the rag) should know this. You can use the restroom and go back?? What is that . I personally have a bladder disease called Interstitial cystitis. Sometimes I just cant help but get up. I would be humiliated if they treated me like that. It is no different than any other handicap or illness. Does she throw out people in wheelchairs?

88. Just another diva. Handled very poorly. I wonder, did anyone who paid to watch this nobody, sign anything stating they would not talk on their cell phones? Nope, because no one would attend a concert if that was the case. If they were on the phone, and no one has said they were except Tori's spokesman, they were probably telling people what a great concert they were at, how wonderful Tori was, etc. Wonder what they're telling people now? NO CLASS!!!!
