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!

76. So let me get this straight. If you show up late you are not admitted. If you talk you are thrown out. If you have to use the rest room during the show you either hold it or if you must get up you lost your spot.

The last time I recall someone running something like this was Hitler. Thank God the fans are aloud to leave at the end.

79. Even if these two women were being loud, I agree with other posters who have commented on Tori's behavior as rude and despicable. I mean, doesn't she have security she can motion to, or send word to, to escort these women out, if they truly were being such a nuisance? I think Tori showed to be very condescending, and it makes me much less interested in her music - I have been a fan of hers since 1998, but slowly over the years, I have grown to like her and her music less.

83. I'm with Tori. Not everyone cares about what song your friend missed. It's not like you can tell her later when she returns to her seat. I bet you're the type who talks on the phone during movies too.

Get a clue and have some courtesy for those around you

84. If this had been a rock concert, I'd disagree with Tori Amos. But this looks more like a sit down piano type music so the girls should show respect not just for Tori Amos but for the fans around them. It sucks to pay to go to a concert only to have it ruined by pesk talking people.

85. Having FANS is a privilige or you would be NOTHING, Tori! What a bitch, I don't even think Madonna would do something like that. Tori Amos deserves to have no one go to her shows ever again, stupid ungreatful spoilt DIVA BITCH.

86. Stop calling the woman "fat and black" what difference does it make what ethnicity she is or how big she is? That's freaken racist! So Tori's right to behave like a bitch cuz she's white and thin, therefore almighty? That's so lame. And no, I'm neither fat, black NOR white, I'm just givin my 2 cents!

87. Monique should shut her yap. People paid to hear Tori, not Monique's stupid selfish ass. She deserved to get kicked out and so did her friend. I'm not even a Tori Amos fan, but I am a fan of courtesy not just to the person on stage but to other audience members too!

88. Tori Amos is throwing people out of her show like she has a large fan base. LOL! She better be trying to keep the little fan base she's got. LMFAO!

89. Obviously the tossed-out chicks were passing the time and waiting around for Amos to perform one of the three or four good songs she's ever written. I could've told them to save their money. Wading through an entire concert of her silly spaced-out psycho-drivel would be torture at best. Count yourselves lucky, gals - maybe you missed the twenty-five minute long version of "Cornflake Girl."

Amos's music and concerts draw in a large percentage of emotionally disturbed young girls who are then like Amos herself - only she's not so young anymore. She knows it, of course, and really plays up to that segment of her audience. She thinks she's a psychotherapist lending great advice and help through her goofy lyrics. Uh...nope.

So when someone doesn't "fit the mold," and gets out of step with all the other adoring fanatics, she really gets her panties in a wad.

Many times at a concert, you're standing around thinking "Am I the *only* person in here behaving myself?" The type of behavior that got these two tossed isn't at all unusual, front row or otherwise. It's simply a fact of life at live shows.

Amos needs attention real, real bad - as bad or worse than Britney. But she could've handled this in much gentler fashion of course, but instead chose to lower herself down to the level of these idiots by dropping the F-bomb and flipping her childish finger. Reminded me of Michael Richards. Things would've turned out a lot better all the way around if she had just kept her mouth shut and let it ride. After all, she's got most of the people out there in the audience fooled, as the flowers and other homages start sailing up onstage.

You need to quit canceling those therapy sessions, Tori.

90. Her First Amendment rights were taken away at the door? Really? Congress was at the concert and passed a law abridging her freedom of speech? Jeez, I wish people paid attention in school.
