Title: your opinion please . . . Post by Nikolita on Apr 12th, 2002, 3:20pm A few of my friends have described sarah's music in the past as a mix between Tori Amos and Sarah McLaughlin . . . and it makes me cringe!!! :P I thought it was just coincidence, but then I was searching the web today and TWO different sites said the same thing. I prefer to think of her music as completely unique. What do you think? nikolita^_^ PS . . . in my procrastination I found this website: http://www.smoe.org/jeffw/gallery/script.cgi?page=54&options=D&options=T&options=U I don't know, I kinda thought it was funny. There's almost 30 pictures of almost the exact same Sarah. |

Title: Re: your opinion please . . . Post by Allison on Apr 12th, 2002, 5:56pm I definitely think that Sarah has always had a very unique sound. I don't see any similarities between her and Tori or Sarah McLachlan other than the fact that they're all female vocalists who play piano. But then again, almost all female pianists that release music nowadays get compared to Tori or Sarah in one way or another. |

Title: Re: your opinion please . . . Post by menagerie on Apr 12th, 2002, 10:14pm I think there are definitely Tori-esque qualities to Slean's piano playing... you know, the way it twinkles and shimmers. But other than that, there's no real similarities. :-/ Do you not like Tori or Sarah M.? I find that many fans of Slean's are fans of Tori's and Sarah M.'s... *shrug* M |

Title: Re: your opinion please . . . Post by Thom_E_Yorke on Apr 13th, 2002, 3:15am It doesn't really matter who plays like whose [already] famous artist, does it ?... The only song I know from Sarah McLachlan is "Black" from the "The X Files Movie Soundtrack". She sings and plays Piano. Like our dear Sarah. Does it mean that Slean copies McLachlan ? I know you all think that's a basic thought. Of course it's basic. Muse seems to do the same thing like Radiohead's "Ok Computer". But it doesn't matter. The only important thing is that the artist can create its own universe ( ¤oups lol¤ ) and progress in this one or, like Radiohead, find another way of expression. *christophe, "hey, I didn't find any difficulties to write this ;D !!"* |

Title: Re: your opinion please . . . Post by BananaPie on Apr 13th, 2002, 3:30am I am a huge Tori fan and I completely agree with Allison...I guess because of the female/piano thing, you could say that they are similar types of artists, but I consider Tori to be much more of a storyteller, weaving characters with her songs and Sarah Slean to be much more about drawing "pictures" with her music. I adore them both for their own personal styles... Sarah S and Sara M....are just....well, both chicks named Sarah, but...that's about it! :) |

Title: Re: your opinion please . . . Post by Nikolita on Apr 13th, 2002, 11:34am I really like both Tori and Sarah McLaughlin, though Tori quite a bit more. It's just frustrating when you know an artist and you appreciate everything about their music to be unique, and then they get compared to already known artists . . . I mean, in one way its flattering I guess, but then, they should get their chance to prove themselves first. I have one friend that just despises Tori's music and had I told him Sarah sounded like Tori, he would have never picked up her cd, and now he LOVES it!!! ;D as for the french . . . j'appris le français en l'ecole secondaire, mais français est dificille . . . un petit peu! je comprends beaucoup, mais oublie beaucoup de vocabulaire parce que j'appris japonaise l'annee passe et j'apprend espagnol maintenant. Beaucoup de temps, je veux emploi espagnol avant le français. ??? comprends-tu?? nikolita^_^ |

Title: Re: your opinion please . . . Post by Hejira on Apr 13th, 2002, 1:23pm I think her first two albums definitely have that Tori influence...and I can see the Sarah links as well. I just think that Sarah was finding her own musical identity with her first two records...Esp. on Universe there was that generic Lilith element to it... I think on Nightbugs a lot of her own personality and her own quirks have come out. I would not make a Tori Amos comparison probably at this point, and I would definitely not make a Sarah McLachlan comparison. |

Title: Re: your opinion please . . . Post by Thom_E_Yorke on Apr 15th, 2002, 2:46am Don't worry Nikolita, I understand everything ;) I studied german for 8 years... and english for 4 years... I stopped school ( after being graduated ) and I lost many words... I have some difficulties to write ( or speak ) in english but I can understand it easier... It's quite strange, isn't it ? ??? *christophe hat german gesprochen* |

Title: Re: your opinion please . . . Post by Nikolita on Apr 15th, 2002, 11:15am christophe... I know!! it gets so confusing when you learn more than one language. Right now I am learning spanish and so many times, if I can't think of the right word, I try to use a french word or even a japanese word!!! But it is even worse when I try to speak in japanese because I have forgotten almost all of the sentence structures. I think your english is fine... I understand everything that you write! nikolita^_^ |

Title: Re: your opinion please . . . Post by angrysnatch on Apr 15th, 2002, 11:22am sarah does have a unique sound thats completely hers.. however as a HUGE tori amos fan i can see the comparison. climbing up the walls at first reminded me of tori's *spark* and it was that song that had me completely hooked.. and now when i listen to climbing up the walls i no longer see the connection to *spark* ... so as a new fan i think your always looking for more of the 'same' but once you become a hardcore fan you no longer see the similiarities. |

In no time you are going to be an anglophone like the rest of us! haha! what a horror :o nikolita^_^ |

Title: Re: your opinion please . . . Post by JayNeilson on Apr 26th, 2002, 10:48am Sarah is her own voice, her own style. People have a hard time dealing with this. Uniqueness isn't something people are usually fond of. Example, they have to compare eveything to chicken. haha I hope Sarah does well, she will... She's honest as air... Jay |
