    Tori did both "Silent All These Years" and "Crucify."  I though that
her performance was great with "Silent..." but about the same as 
Letterman for "Crucify."  She did both of the songs with piano only - no
band, and while it works for "Silent," it leaves "Crucify" with little
edge.  Of course, on both Letterman and Miller, I found it hard to
understand what she was singing - sometimes she just sounded like a 
screaming banshee.  Also, it is very distracting watching her perform:
over-dyed hair, funky leg-positions, etc.  But her eyes are just 
incredible.
