Tossed Out Tori Amos Fan: Diva, Please!

Last week, singer Tori Amos lost it and threw two fans out of her show for talking. Now Monique -- one of the booted ladies -- gives her side of the story. Amos might not stay so famous after this!


Ex-fan Monique posted a blog on her MySpace page addressing the confrontation, saying, "All I was doing was telling my friend who went to the restroom that I couldn't believe she missed her favorite song by Tori ... and Tori had the f**king DIVA audacity to stop her song and tell me to leave just because I was talking about how amazing her live rendition was." Flattery will get you nowhere -- except thrown out!

Monique went on to write, "Guess my First Amendment rights were taken away at the door." Clearly at a Tori Amos concert -- you better sit straight ... and silent!

61. First, who is tori amos?? a spawn from a "reality" show or amerikan idul? Second, since when is it a privilege to sit in the front row? You buy a front row ticket you DESERVE to sit in the front row. Third, if all her muzak is like that snippet, I would have walked out a long time ago.

62. Yes, it was rude of the girls to be talking. That is why security is hired...to escort them to the back, or remove them from the venue. Now, what Tori did was just plain self-incriminating. It was classless, trashy, and in poor taste. I've been a fan of hers since 1994, and I no longer will be. She stooped to a level that is expected of a little 10 year old, taking away what was thought to be a respectful musician.

63.

Would you go to your sister's orchestra concert or piano recidal and talk on your cell and chat with your friend loudly the whole time? No, because that would be disrespectful. Same premise here.



If you were a fan of Tori, you would know that her concerts are not like rock or crap or pop concerts full of screaming litte brats and Divas. Her concerts are for those who appreciate her music. If you buy a ticket not knowing this, because you are so ignorant, you deserve to be booted out for acting disrespecfully and YOU re the one who needs to shut the f**k up! It's all about good manners and respect, which have seemed to totally skip a couple generations in America.

65. From what I saw from the video I think Tori Amos needs to get out of the business. If she can't handle fans screaming or talking then she needs out. The fan base she seems to have is younger people and the music is not of low energy style. If she is doing a so called performance not a concert then she needs to clean her mouth up and her actions up. To me in watching the video her fans are just waiting for her to do this to someone. One can tell by all the cheering going on. The front seat thing if she wants to give front row tickets away fine but then don't expect the fans she gives them to, to be any different acting than they are in the cheap seats. After all her being a so called star/performer is all based on a privilege that her fans give her. For with out the fans she is nothing. Cellphones are a way of life unfortunately and some people will abuse them but still this is a thing she has to deal with when she performs so she needs to get over it. Personally I think they need to outlaw cellphones and go back to the time when they weren't around but it ain't going to happen.

Tori Amos is not a class act, she is a class ass. She is more in the class of a Britney Spears and Paris Hilton class. Which is no talent, no class, ugly and nothing but a wanna be star.

68. What 1st Amendments right is this Monique chick talking about? What is truly scary is that Monique probably has the right to vote.

69. Tori Amos sucks. I hope this ruins her career. She's not even a good singer, and she's not much to look at either. Honestly, I have no idea how she's made it this far.

70. I went to a concert of hers years ago. If you showed up late you were not admitted and you were only supposed to get up to go to the bathroom at intermission. She played with her legs cranked so wide open it was distracting. I guess when you are Tori Amos you get to pick and choose what you consider to be polite and justified. What a diva.

71. I went to Tori's show and I am a big fan, therefore I know how the shows are and how she is. She is not a diva, she is an actual artist. I think that there are two sides to a story and I doubt very highly that Tori would throw someone out for talking. I was in the front row, I talked to my friends and she didn't throw me out. I think that it is more likely that she was talking loudly and being disruptive. I know that I had to go to the bathroom and I know that I wasn't going to go because I wouldn't get my place back, that might have been the problem also, if she were a real fan then she wouldn't have left her place and she would have been embarrased about getting thrown out. And to all of the people that put her down, just go and listen to some Britney Spears album or turn the radio on, that is who your daughters can look up to. Why is it when someone speaks their mind they are bitch? The only thing she did wrong is throw someone out of a show for disrupting others and give a stellar performance to the rest, give it a break.

72. " Makes me sick hearing the crowd cheer her ego on! That girl will fall from grace soon enough! Be a biotchy one on stage and lose fans ...I don't even know this person and now i'm for sure i wouldn't buy any of her music..." I agree to that. I don't know this girl at all and I don't even like her. She will pay for it one day.

74. I'm boycotting tori, Cant talk at her concerts??? It's a privledge??? I'm sure those concert goers paid for those seats, I doubt they were "privledged" with free seats. Stuck up B!+ch. I never owned any of her albums and now i never will.. She's not PRIVLEDGED enough to have me as a fan!!!!

75. But see that's the thing all you fools don't realize. Tori already has a fan base. A loyal fan base that's quite huge. And something like this is *not* going to affect her ticket sales. In fact it'll just bring more jerks out to her shows and increase her sales from people that are hoping they can witness something like this. She sells a ton of albums already. She's had around 8 regular albums and a greatest hits comp. Not to mention all the singles, soundtrack bits, etc. Her first album was relased in 92, and this is a tour for her album released this past year. She's even had a couple of songs in the top 40 over the years. You people are just ignorant. No wonder why things like this happen. You have no clue, and make asses of yourselves on a regular basis, and then want to have no accountability for it.

Who cares if you aren't going to buy an album of hers? You didn't before, so doesn't that denote that it didn't change anything? I can't believe how simple minded most of you are.

On a side note, if you've been to a Tori show, she doesn't play like huge arenas, she plays CONCERT HALLS. Security can't just up and run into an ailse to grab someone out right away. And she can't just walk off stage to get someone to do it. She doesn't have a billion ppl around her on the stage. All singer songwriters play at smaller venues, and it's harder to deal with things, and LOUD noises carry and are distracting.

As for the bathroom thing.... that's sometimes the venues option as well. Haven't you ppl ever gone to a broadway show or play? Most of them do the same thing. Why? Because in the small forum people are SITTING, not STANDING. It's disruptive to have to let people just get up and down the whole show. THAT'S WHY THEY ONLY LET PPL BACK AT CERTAIN TIMES.

Get some culture and class. And no comments that b/c she flipped the bird she has no class. I'm sure you've flipped the bird plenty of times yourselves. Don't get all self righteous.
