Ok.......

This Tori Amos video was uploaded to youtube, then deleted, then reuploaded. We have no idea what happened but it's back now.

The comments are really depressing (aren't youtube comments always depressing?). Most of them centre on Tori's face and age. But really it's the music and the visuals that should be everyone's focus.

"Flavor" is an orchestral rework of the opening track from an album very few people bought (compared to her previous records) so really it doesn't have the right to be as BRILLIANT as it is. Seriously. It is sumptuous, dark and dramatic and addictive. Also totally better than the original. The video, too, is her best music video for years. It's not lifechanging, no. It doesn't hit the peaks that the videos of her youth did. But considering most ageing artists give up on music videos altogether, it's a rare treat to get one at all.

Also the pigeon moment is fierce.
