I enjoy these debates only up to the point where they become actual
Tori-bashing, and then it stops being fun.  

Tori is *already* an original, and Kate fans who bash Tori look just
as silly and uninformed as Tori fans who bash Kate.  There are *lots*
of us who love and appreciate both.  Taste is one thing (you don't
*have* to like either one or the other if you truly don't like the
music) but to junk Tori as a Kate clone is obnoxious and insulting.

I get angry at the suggestion (in any form) that there is only 
enough room on this planet for one female singer, and that anyone
who follows after is, of course, a clone and a rip/spin-off.  Kate
may be God to some (she is to me) but there are *many* wonderful
female singer/songwriter/musicians, and there's plenty of room
in the world for them all.
 

We'd all better give this a rest before it gets out of hand.
