Weeeelllll,  I don't know about that.  I think (as I mentioned in an earlier
post) that I think the emotional power of LE is equivalent to The Dreaming. 
I love Suzanne Vega, but for different reasons.  Her emotions are more
understated and internalized.

Tori is hardly a Kate clone.  They are both very talented female vocalists
who play keyboard/piano, write their own songs, and make musicians and
non-musicians of taste shiver with delight.  Apart from that their music is
as different as night and day...
	...which makes me wonder why we're focussing on comparing them.  My
original post was *intended* (although I think I may have worded it badly)
to explain that I love Kate but I love Tori too, and who else does, and why? 
Remembering what I wrote, I think I may have fallen into the "who's better?"
trap as well.
