2014 new album

The new album will be released on Mercury Classics internationally and on Mercury Classics/Universal Music Classics in the US. - I doubt this is true. I watched a recent interview clip on Youtube where she mentioned another label. Also, it would be strange if she released a pop album on a classics label.(84.250.45.95 (talk) 07:08, 11 March 2014 (UTC))

Tori Amos did in fact release Unrepentant Geraldines on Universal's Mercury Classics. "Launched in April 2012 by Universal Music, Mercury Classics aims to identify and work with strong creative individuals who bring a distinctive and fresh perspective to classical music, whether they are young artists approaching the genre in a new way, or established musicians, outside the field, curious about exploring the genre." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chorvacommander (talk • contribs) 04:31, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Photo

Does she really still have that horrible "carroty" hair?? If not, I'd appreciate it a lot if someone had an alt photo to put in. This is just ... er ... unpleasant. -andy 77.190.58.4 (talk) 12:45, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

The infobox image is there to identify her and is not necessarily there to show what she specifically looks like today. Because she is alive we can only use a freely licenced image, so unless you can find a better portrait, it should stay for now. A performance image would make a poor substitute. Of the 300 or so freely licenced Flickr images I can only find lower quality performance images, usually where her face is obscured by a microphone where she is too small to extract a reasonable sized headshot, or from around the same time as this one with the same or very similar color hair. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 15:57, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Amos' appearance has changed since that picture was taken. Still, its the best quality, most recent image we have. 12.217.185.194 (talk) 16:47, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes please we need a new photo, this is horrible! If I find one, how can I submit it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.169.132.154 (talk) 21:15, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

It must be a verified freely licenced image. You cannot upload unless you are a verified registered user. ww2censor (talk) 22:45, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

This picture is atrocious. I am sure there are tons of fans who have taken pictures of her in which she looks a lot better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.77.139.152 (talk) 22:44, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

this is the same irrelevant discussion regarding the Kate Bush article..why these two? I wonder...it`s what she looks like..this is not a fanzine leave it alone..if it bothers you so much change it but stick to policy...the powers that be will have a problem with it otherwise..they love to argue rhetorical pseudo legality when it suits them or they have something to prove although what rock star is sleeping with what movie star doesn`t seem to be a priority with them..opposing academic careers politics or money maybe..i think she looks just fine the way she is.97.82.198.30 (talk) 01:38, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

MusicBrainz missing and incorrect information

I recently used https://musicbrainz.org/artist/c0b2500e-0cef-4130-869d-732b23ed9df5 to tag many recordings. The most incorrect tags were related to Tori Amos recordings, which are apparently based on this and related Tori Amos Wikepedia articles, many of which take information from hereinmyhead.com, only to find tremendous errors in some basic information intensely wrong: composers/publishers/release dates/especially given many releases of the "same" song/different recording/version etc, were a unified mess. While Tori Amos covers many many other artists, sometimes authors of books written about her, even some so obscure that extensive searches could not find said book, end up as composer of her music, and it then follows that publisher etc gets messed up. Many links that point to information in the articles here have apparently been wildly misinterpreted. I honestly don't know where to begin, but when trying to edit MusicBrainz, I was pointed here for many releases starting at the main article. Is there a correct way to begin to fix this? I can fix my own collection, but I would rather see the sources corrected, since right now it resembles an awful game of "telephone" where every time something gets transferred, it loses or changes facts in the "translation." (Also hereinmyhead.com is not as well maintained as it once was and underwent a massive hack several years ago.) I am duplicating this question here as well as MusicBrainz.org. Thanks for any help. --Useralreadyexistsx1000 (talk) 23:06, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
