The Tori Thread

[RobB]

That is a nice design.

Here's the track listing for the album:

Midwinter Graces Tracklist:
What Child, Nowell
Star of Wonder
A Silent Night with You
Candle: Coventry Carol
Holly, Ivy, and Rose
Harps of Gold
Snow Angel
Jeanette, Isabella
Pink and Glitter
Emmanuel
Winter's Carol
Our New Year


I think only 'Pink and Glitter' & 'Our New Year' are Tori originals.

If nothing else I admire the enthusiasm of Tori fans at atforumz.

The 'Winter Graces' thread is a mere two months old and is 91 pages long,containing 1,360 replies and has been viewed 85,888 times.

I wonder if we'll get the same level of interest here with Stina's next album?

Those stats are actually an indication of how disillusioned and cynical a lot of the core fans are now, Rob - new album threads would normally be well over a hundred pages within the first few days. The fact it's taken the Midwinter Graces thread TWO MONTHS to get to 90 pages is shockingly poor form.

With every cycle of building hope and then crashing disappointment since TBK, people have become less willing to invest in the idea that there might be some kind of return to form. I know AATS was a huge watershed for a lot of hardcore fans - hence the cynicism and lack of real interest around Midwinter Graces. I have to say, it's the fact that the artwork is so beyond ludicrous that's stirred people to express, once again, their complete amazement and bafflement at just how bad Tori's art has become. That's the reason the thread is up to 90 pages.

Christ on a bike. I didn't think it could get worse, but here's the full cover:

Perez Hilton has been very supportive for Tori's music. But even he said that she's got to stop with botox and photoshop.

[blue]

Yep. You know it's bad when even Perez can't talk it up!

[RobB]

hmm.....sounds like sour grapes to me. What does she know anyway,she should stick to modelling.

[blue]

Perez is never going to be a model. Except for horrendous dress sense, perhaps.

The thing is though, he does wield a lot of influence in some quarters, and up to this point he's been a staunch supporter of Tori. His blog is one of the few places she consistently gets positive publicity.

The day the WG cover was released, however, he made comments on his twitter account likening her to infamous plastic surgery nutcase Jocelyn Wildenstein, aka The Cat Lady. This is in full public view. His remarks on the actual blog were much more restrained, but the damage is done, in a way.

Incidentally, I've just been looking at someone's pics from the meet-and-greet before the Luxembourg gig, and for the first time I can see what people were on about as regards her right eye seeming to be drooping - the pics won't post here but yeah, there is definitely something wrong with it.

Surgery gone wrong?

[RobB]

Unfortunately that link doesn't work so i'll just have to use my imagination.

And i've just realised I was getting mixed up .......I thought you were refering to Paris Hilton.
Perez Hilton i've never heard of.

[blue]

OK I've removed the link, I didn't realise it wasn't working. Damn I wish I could get those pics to paste here, because the droopy eye is really noticeable. I've heard of this kind of thing happening to people who've had eye surgery before, I don't know what else would explain it. Ugh. Tori, Tori .... you should have stayed away from the knife and the botox, sweet girl.

I thought you were making a joke about Paris/Perez Hilton, Rob. Basically his blog is one of the most notorious and popular on the web, he runs stories about celebs of every stripe, often things they would rather the public didn't know.

[RobB]

I thought you were making a joke about Paris/Perez Hilton, Rob.

well,no one laughed anyway.

Well I did, sort of. It never occurred to me that you actually didn't know who Perez was, he's so annoyingly ubiquitous on the 'net.

Another fan-made alternative cover:






I love this one, it's still 'WTF?!' but in a good way. She used to be brilliant at that. *sigh*

[blue]

Damn. Even her rubbish songs sound 300% better when she plays them by herself on a keyboard.





More proof that she needs to ditch the band.

Ruh-roh. A listing for a double-disc version of Midwinter Graces has appeared on Amazon. 1 cd, 1 dvd.
