Ruppel Saginaw, MI jrcrash@hotmail.com 18 fiona's words seem like they were taken from my soul. they represent everything that i stand for, what i believe in, what i feel. she seems to have dug deep into my mind and taking what i was to weak to say and put in to music. fiona apple has touched me in a way which i have never been touched. she has let me know that it's ok to be me and that there are other's going through what i am.

Packard (aka abbagirl) Ann Arbor, MI abbagirl@cyberspace.org 20 Fiona never ceases to amaze and inspire me, through her musicianship, her blunt frankness, her survivor spirit, everything...she is truly a poet, and a wild child, and I love her music to death. Seeing her in concert on Nov. 21st, 1997 (in Detroit) was a truly magical experience, one that I hope to repeat someday soon... :) I am confident that Fiona will have a long and glorious future in the "biz", and I'm so glad she's out there making music.

DeRue New Baltimore, MI dsderue@gateway.net 17 Fiona to me: she's the most inspiring, talented, over all she's the main thing i enjoy out of everyday i live. I never could explain it but i get a feeling all over, a chill or unfamiliar feeling all over when i hear here enchanting voice and lyrics. i thank her for sharing so much of herself and for making great music in a time were the radio and tv is corrupted by talentless acts who like to generilize there style as pop, which isn't were they belong, along side such groups as the beatles, but instead belong the side of many other one hit wonders and fakes. i just hope fiona never stops doing whatever it is she's doing.

zerbel Hastings, MI cloud__19@hotmail.com 17 i'd have to say that fiona hasn't changed my life, but has changed my opinion on it. she showed me that its ok to be sad, or even be a bitch when necessary. i have to thank her for making me see my life in a different light. i think that it is amazing how she touches so many people so deeply. i would think that would be the greatest of riches. thank you fiona for being my glasses when i couldn't see.

Aiuto Detroit, MI Andrea_Aiuto@yahoo.com 18 Fiona means a lot to me. I first saw her at the Lilith fair 97' I believe and I had just bought her c.d. the prior week. I thought she was so amazing. Her voice and character made me really respect her. I continued to listen to her and saw her again in concert in 1998 and she blew me away. I yelled out "I LOVE YOU" and she yelled it back. When she sang Jimi Hendrix's song "Angel" I was so impressed. I just recently saw her again March 10th and she just kicked butt. Anytime I listen to her c.d's , her music really makes me feel better and I love listening to her.

Fillmore Ann Arbor, MI afillmore@prodigy.net 18 never met Fiona, and not really sure if I should. Not that I'm shy or psycho or anything off the wall. I think of Fiona more as someone I connect with - from a distance. Don't get me wrong, I probably would wait for several hours if I knew I could, but it's not as if it's a "goal." sometimes I wonder why I collect Fiona stuff. It seems silly sometimes. But I do it. I just won an eBay auction actually. hmm. I have alot of the promos and singles that have been released, couple bootlegs, Sweet Angel is awesome. What Fiona means to me. Well, I think I started liking her for her music solely, then I read some stuff about her, could relate to the isolationism and all, and I liked that no one really knew her. Then the criminal video and the MTV speech turned her into "bitchy slut girl" to the masses, and I had to defend my liking her to friends and morons, just as she had to defend herself from the media. Her connection to her true fans through the few web letters shes written made a lot of difference. Kind of kicked my ass into gear about putting myself in an objective position. Drunk or not, "go with yourself" is sound advice. To be honest I dont feel that connected to her as a kindred spirit like I used to, it's back to just good music. I love when the pawn...

Katie Bay City, MI Verucasalt100@aol.com 18 No one's words have ever expressed better how i feel then Fiona. She takes the utter feelings of helplessness, loneliness and just self loathing and puts them into a beautiful poem, then on top of that makes it something that is almost painful to listen to it is so true. I have never felt closer to an artist in my life then i do Fiona Apple. She gives me strength to keep going.

Gwynn East Lansing, MI gwynnmat@msu.edu 20 Ever since Tidal, I have never experienced music remotely near Fiona's. Being pretty eclectic, i have heard a lot of stuff from many people, which can make me laugh or rock and roll. Fiona is the first artist, the first person who made me feel through music. It can grab hold of who i am and move me like nothing else. That much passion and artistry put into a song, or a chord, or a note, escalates Ms. Apple, in my mind, to brilliance that is more than most could ever hope to imagine. A creation that would other wise be clouded and disrupted if the artist herself was not as truthful and honest with the world as she chooses to be. I love you, Fiona.

MI gootgirl@yahoo.com 15 I just wanted to say that Fiona is the world to me. I don't know where I would be without her and her music. Now, I know this probably sounds really corny, but it's all true. Day after day I catch myself humming her songs and it makes me wonder if my dream will ever come to true. The dream of meeting Fi. My biggest fear is that she'll quit writing music and never come out with another album again! I just hope that she keeps on writing. Fi, if you see this somehow, I just want to say, don't let those reporters get you down because they don't understand you like we do. And we need you. Thanks a lot, NIAP. Feels great to write that all down. Signing off, Gina

angella MI panda_jay@hotmail.com 16 Wow. Fiona is my light. For me, Fiona represents pure genius. She is beautiful because inside her soul is floating with the depths of a thousand leagues beneath it. Fiona is pure truth and beauty. I don't know much about her past, i've only had the privilege to witness three of her videos, and i've never seen her in concert, but I've listened to her soul through her music. She combines powerful, deep, wise lyrics, with beautiful rhythmic beats and melodies to make a creation that's visionary and honey to my heart. I've realized truths through her music, and I forever welcome more to come. I love you Fiona. Thank-you.

Amanda Rosado Macomb, MI chibi_gaaru_182@msn.com 18 Me and my best friend were in her living room watching music videos on mtv when we were 13. We weren't paying much attention. instead we were joking round and laughing until we heard these unexplainable musical vibes coming from the tv. We turned our heads and noticed this gorgeous girl on the screen with an earth shaking voice and a heavy piano and we were like WHOA....WHO IS THAT?! at the end of the video we saw "Fiona Apple: Criminal" then we looked at each other and knew this was gonna be the next big thing to us. At the time i didn't have my own $ to go buy the Tidal CD and with time i forgot bout buying it but NEVER forgot bout the impact that single song had on me. In 2000, I met this guy who was into a variety of music. When i found out he was into Fiona i remembered the time i was 13 and was amazed by her. I told him and he let me borrow Tidal and When the Pawn. I LOVED THEM!!! I finally had $ of my own so i bought them. Wow her voice was absolutely amazing (ppl have told me she can't sing and i gave them a look to kill), her piano, and the whole composition... everything was so awesome. I still get chills everytime i listen to her music and i can't possibly hold myself back from singing. That's another thing, she inspired me to start singing. I was in choir in high school and my senior year the teacher allowed the seniors to have a solo for our final choir concert. I looked and looked and looked for the piano book to Tidal or When the Pawn but couldn't find it. I really wanted to do either Pale September or Love Ridden. But anyways, she gave me the inspiration to sing and as soon as i can afford it, i'm taking piano lessons. One of my friends back in high school told me i could be the next Fiona and those words never left me. I won't try to be the next Fiona that won't ever be possible but i'll keep her in me as my inspiration in my singing and piano playing as well as poetry. I find her words speak louder than her other talents. She's simply the most wonderful thing that could've happened to the music world and i trust that the "hollywood life" will never drug her. She's too good and too strong for that. Those are my thoughts on Fiona oh and hi dave :)
