As a fan of both Kate and Tori, I have noticed certain Eerie Similarities 
between these two artists.

1. Their names are both two words of four letters each, with two vowels in 
the same positions in the first name.
2. In the same year, each produced an album with a three word title, one 
word being a reddish colour: Under The Pink, and The Red Shoes.
3. The first single from Kate's album was "Rubberband Girl". The first 
from Tori's was "Cornflake Girl".
4. Cornflake girl drew some of its imagery from The Wizard of Oz, which 
features a pair of red shoes.
5. Tori's first band was called Y Kant Tori Read, which uses a letter to 
denote a word, as did the name of Kate's first band, the KT Bush Band.
6. The cover of one of Kate's albums featured her contorted inside a box. 
The cover of one of Tori's albums featured her contorted inside a box.
7. Their songs have had similar themes. "God" and "Deal with God". 
"Mother" and "Mother Stands For Comfort". "Me and a Gun" and "James and 
the Cold Gun". 
8. Tori recorded part of an album in Ireland, as did Kate. Tori claims an 
emotional link with Ireland. Kate is half-Irish.
9. Both accompany themselves on the piano, have wide vocal ranges and 
unusual singing techniques, have cultish fan groups, dye their hair red, 
are small-statured, and good-looking.
10. Finally, they are very nearly the only two female musicians to have 
newsgroups devoted to them.

Coincidence? You decide.

PS Don't know what went wrong with the first post. Zigged when I should 
have zagged.
