Interesting comparisons. Tori Amos is very talented indeed, but I find her music much harder to decipher than most. Ayumi's intent seems more clear.
I don't think that Ayumi's aim is
only to have mainstream music. I find it so interesting that Alterna was on the Fairyland single. Was ourselves a mainstream song? Mirrorcle world? I think she experiments when she can. But yes, Tori Amos' music is very unique and is a class of its own, thus the very devoted fanbase.
Lady Gaga? I though we were talking about
established artists who have more than 1 album and have a larger vocabulary than (insert word of choice) stick.
