I don't.....Tori's musical stylings that remind you of Kate - anybody 
can hear in the music and vocals of the late and great Laura Nyro, 
whom both Tori and Kate credit as a major influence and influence.

And so, there you have it, except that Laura was, in the 60's, only 
overshadowed by the fame of Janis Joplin.

What you hear in both of them, you will find in abundance in Laura.

Agreed, and, with The Spice Girls having hit #1, there are much more 
troubling matters to consider.
