hello all of you. this is my first time posting. anyway in response to female songwrites , what about billie holiday? i agree we should stay away from tori and alanis, and quite a few others i could think of. well i'm sure all have more to say later.

i love billie's voice, nina simone is also quite nice, but why do you dismiss tori amos? She is an incredibly underrated talent, and please dont put her in the same category as that alanis person, that is not a fair comparison...tori's music is very passionate and beautiful and she is constantly evolving musically. her live shows are always moving and i can't name another artist who cares more about her fans than tori. she deserves to be in a category all her own dmitr^Y +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
