Tori anyone?

I've been gone all summer, and it seems that Tori-talk has died down, so I may
actually be sending this to the wrong place, but you'll never stop me. So I
finally got "Little Earthquakes" this summer and was blown away, of course
(although I do get the feeling after listening to it that, as a male, I suck),
and I think that it's the single best album of the year. Still, after all of
the Tori-KaTe comparisons, I am confused that another one didn't come up. Is it
just me, or is there more of a similarity between Tori and Joni Mitchell, circa
"Blue?" Tori's songs are much more complex, but in the subject matter, musical
invention, and primarily the vocals, I can see more of a Tori-Joni connection
than I can with KaTe. Doesn't mean that I don't love 'em all, tho.

Just wondering.
