Tossed Out Tori Amos Fan: Diva, Please!

121. Way to go, Tori...that was even better than Barbra Streisand telling the heckler at her concert to "Shut the F**k up!"..Tori wasn't acting like a DIVA...she was acting like Tori..anyone who is a fan of Tori knows that she is brutally frank and honest, in her lyrics and in her interviews. Obviously something was going on in the front row that's not being told right, because the music being played is kind of loud as it is. It may have messed up your night, Monique, being thrown out, but oh well, I hate it for you.

122. As many others have pointed out, LOL at the whole "Guess my First Amendment rights were taken away at the door" statement. I swear, can this chick be more ignorant? I guess she was absent the day they taught civics in civics class.

The reality is that monique was probably an rude, loudmouth, obnoxious twit through the entire show because it's really, really, REALLY unlikely that Amos managed to hear just one comment over lights and music. The chick was just being a monument ass and got called on it. whinner.

124. Tori Amos is a big sell out anyways. Im guessing she doesn't need her rape story to sell albums anymore.

125. Every performer knows how annoying it is to hear talking when you're trying to work. Especially when they're there to see you. Performers have the right to kick anyone out.. But it's not worth doing it, trust me. You can lose a lot of respect that way.

126. Whatever...I've seen the video. Tori had every right to toss them out! Go Team Tori!

127. Until these famous DIVA A#$Holes start paying me to go see them, then I'll sit and not say a word and enjoy the show. But if I'm paying to see your ass perform "sing and dance little monkey", then I should be able to do whatever the hell I want at your show. Take off all my clothes, drink some beer, throw up at my seat, smoke inside, laugh it up...WHATEVER, these people would be noone without us buying their CD's, or going to see their movies, whatever. It's pathetic. If I was the girls that got thrown out, I'd demand my money from Torn Anus.

128. They deserved to be thrown out, if you want to talk do it somewhere else, what idiots. It is a rare privledge to sit in the front row at her concert, and they were ruining other peoples time, they totally deserved it and then some. Ha Ha

129. First Ammendment being taken away at the door??? Oh puhleaze! When you go into a paid venue, there is are rules like no taking of photos or recording devices. It is COURTESY that is lacking in many such events. So Monique, it makes me wonder how loud or for how long you were telling your friend about the song she missed. And how considerate of you to tell your friend something SO important it couldn't wait till a break came up in between songs.

Sorry, no pity for you here. I think if you were loud enough to be heard by Tori, you deserved to be tossed out. Imagine what those sitting around you were hearing...did they need to? But I guess it was more important for you to tell your friend she missed her favorite song. Like that was gonna make anyone feel any better....or maybe just you. I'm kinda thinking you like the sound of your own voice.

see....you seem to be the type of person who has NO RESPECT for others. you pay your money so you should do whatever you want. (if) you pay rent where you live, you can't just do whatever you want. it's all about what YOU want to do, regardless of how it affects others. it's people like you who cause such turmoil in the world WE ALL live in.

yea, i dare ya...go ahead. go to a venue and take your clothes off, puke in your seat, smoke or be loud. see if the management doesn't throw your ass out or have you arrested.

131. I have seen Tori Amos twice in concert and it's true that people who talk during the show do run the risk of being thrown out. We weren't even in the front row, but rather were a good five or six rows back when we almost got thrown out. Tori was performing one of her many "I wish I had recorded this before I ripped it off of Kate Bush" songs (the title escapes me because she only changes a few of the words to avoid copyright infringement) anyway... when my friend asked me what I had done with my purse, I started looking around on the floor for it and Tori thought I wasn't paying attention to her and got sooooo mad she stopped prentending to play the piano. Pretty soon, they shut off the record she was performing too and the whole place when silent. I looked up and Tori was standing at the edge of the stage just GLARING at me. We didn't get thrown out, but it was close.

hey, sorry singer. i was at the same show and felt really bad about the folks sitting directly behind the two guys rolling side to side. i agree; somehow, you should be compensated for your inconvenience. don't know how much good it'd do (their disclaimer before the entrance to the venue stating it would be recorded.) but i'd contact the paramount and see what can be done about that. good luck!

(haven't changed my mind tho about monique and L)

133. Tori had every right to throw those girls out of her show if they were distracting her during her performance and inflicting the rest of the fans around them, who spent their hard earned money to see her, with their rude, ignorant behavior. If I had the opportunity to sit front center at one of Tori's shows, I definitely wouldn't be on my cell and having a loud, full-blown conversation when I'm literally 5 feet away from the stage. It's rude, end of story. It's refreshing to see an artist who isn't afraid to stand up for herself and her true fans. I can't imagine how embarrassing that must have been for those two girls, but they brought it on themselves. I've been to so many concerts, that I've paid good money to see, and have been stuck by obnoxious, rude people who are talking loudly the entire time, blowing smoke in my face, or spilling their beer on me...and it does take away from your concert experience, and that isn't fair. If you are causing a problem to people around you...you deserve to be tossed out. Props to Tori all the way.

134. Why is it that only the temperamental artists with millions of loyal fans are expected to behave with decorum and dignity when being insulted, while so-called "fans" get to talk on their phones, annoy other concert goers, and act like escaped zoo animals?
Tori Amos seems to have an exponentially larger fan base every time I'm lucky enough to see one of her shows. I can't imagine how some MySpace tramp with a "greater-than-thou" attitude can really alter that. Especially given that Tori Amos has always been pretty deep and most of these comments aren't. Most of the people commenting here don't appear to be intelligent enough to be Tori fans.

135. What a BI**H! I will never buy an album from her again.
