name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Chris Toronto, Canada bockhop@home.com 21 Fiona Apple started out in my eyes as a stuck-up fame compelled little kid (despite the fact that she's a year older than me). Then I left the herd and bought her CD. That's when I realized I had been completely wrong. I can honestly say that I have never listened to any other artist who has so much depth in their music. And talk about being sensual! Personal opinion, "The First Taste" is one of the most erotic sounding songs I've ever heard, with "Slow Like Honey" right behind it. "Never is a Promise" is (just like the creators of this site) my favourite of her songs; I is the one song that I can truly personally relate to, as most of us can. Lastly, I think that Fiona should dump her boyfriend and get in touch with me; trust me, I can handle the pressure...
name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Emma Toronto, Canada closure@post.com I've loved Fiona and her music for many years now. I first discovered her in high school, a time in which I've always felt that individuality was totally "geeky". Then I found Fiona, whose message of "go with yourself" brought tears to my eyes and a deeper understanding of why it was so important to be truthful. My favorite songs on "tidal" were almost all of them and I remember knowing, after hearing "sullen girl", that there is a deeper connection, a deeper identity that everyone one has for themselves, separate from the what others perceive. And Fiona's courageousness to express even the "unthinkable" like in her video "criminal" told me that artistically, there were ways to be myself, and not be a total "jerk" for wanting it. Then something really bad happened to me, something affecting me so personally and painfully that it shattered my sense of well being for almost a year. I am still recovering from that hurt, and I know I will never be the same. The biggest problem was that, the hurt made me realize that my inner identity would have to be replaced with a new one, a stronger one, so that I could get on with my life. I sold all of my cds, including the gorgeous bundle of beauty that was Fiona's "tidal". I'm currently attending art school right now, and as a visual artist in training, I noticed that what Fiona expresses through her music, as touching as it may be, is NOT my voice. I am not musically inclined, but I am very visual. And now that I've gotten over some of my past hurt, Fiona's new album coming out in November will be a new chance for me to get into her again, only this time, NOT as a confused teenager, but a struggling artist in my own right. I can't wait.

name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	andi mahon Ontario aura_glitter@yahoo.com when Fiona first burst onto the scene i didn't like her... i was very much a hardcore goth/punk chick and i didn't even know she was around until "criminal" was released... i tried to kill myself a year and a half ago and on the road to coming back to sanity i rediscovered fiona through seeing her "shadowboxer" video on TV... something in her voice just made me feel, i had the same reaction to her as i did to tori amos and alanis morissette... i got her cd and fell in love, and i haven't looked back... "never is a promise" is my favorite fiona song and i also love her cover of "all across the universe"... i also related to her on that black sheep/silent/strange girl level... she is amazing and beautiful... she is a "grace" from above...

name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Gin Canada unusualsuspects@hotmail.com From Fiona I have learned a very important lesson: to always "go with myself." Words do not describe the feelings of strength remembering this gives me to stand up for my opinions, thoughts, ideas... myself. I thank Fiona for that.

name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Canada Pour moi c'est simple, Fiona est ma source d'harmonie. Je n'ai qu'a penser � elle pour me sentir apais�. Grace � sa douceur, son honnetet� et son int�grit�, ses parole m'enlace d'un parfum merveilleux qui m'ennivre jusqu'� l'extase de plaisir inconnu. Lorsqu'on entend sa voix on � l'impression de d�j� la conna�tre et encore mieux, lorsqu'on �cout attentivement on � ll'impression qu'elle ne fait que parler � nous. On se sent immetiatement compris. Parfois cela entaine une s�r�nit� et paix totale , d'autre fois une rage violente et haine foudroyante. Parfois seulment des larmes incomprise se glisse le long de mes traits. Le seul autre artiste qui su faire jaillir de moi ce genre d'�motion est nul autre que Serge Gainsbourg. Fiona je n'ai que de l'estime pour toi et je ne r�ve que de toi.......

name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Ingrid Montreal, Canada groud@yahoo.com Fiona revealed herself like a new moon in the sky/ cold & distant/ but essential to my well being/Becoming one with sounds that resonate inside/matching the rhythm of my soul/ she speaks the words that haunt/ And as easily as I could forget/ I don't/ For Fiona does have wings/ and she soars on the truth/ And as she rises herself from her blue oblivion she raises me/ And when she knows she's hurt because she hurts I also know/ So I keep on rising and one day I too shall meet me glory.

name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Ashley Winnington-Ball Toronto, ON awball@hotmail.com 18 her music has been part of my collection from the beginning. she's the only one out there who has abundant lyrical and musical worth. i'm inspired by her words and moved by her music. my favourite songs include: the first taste, pale september, carrion, love ridden, paper bag... and oh, they go on. i love them all, i do. anyway, i admire her talent and her honesty and that she's true to herself and her music no matter what people say. (grammy speech = perfect example) i am eagerly awaiting a tour date in toronto.
name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Selym Nitnelav Toronto justapaperbag@home.com 20 or so Honestly, Fiona probably hates it, but its the Criminal video that got my attention, thats honestly why Fiona's got a lot of male fans. But thats what you gotta do nowadays is use the media, but Fiona did it in a clever manner. The thing I'm most impressed about is there's the drug thing, she doesn't DENY, nor does she GLORIFY and thats a good thing. She's not hypocritical nor does she encourage. She's also the best cover artist I think. She actually made the Hendrix and Cliff songs better than the original, which is surely a breath of relief from the Puff Daddy's of the world. She may not hit the charts like the Britney's and A.J.'s of the world, but she'll be a legend 20 years down the road.
name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Jillian Clapham Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada jilliebean_86@hotmail.com 13 I have never met Fiona, nor have I ever seen her in concert, though i greatly wish to. Her music, and her lyrics, they touch me, I don't really know how to put this into words without sounding really dumb, but her music affects me in a way that very few other musicians do. The lyrics are so real, so powerful, that it's really too much for me to put into words myself. But some of her songs I feel like I can really connect with. Sometimes, if I feel like I just can't go on, like there's so much stress in my life, I can just listen to her music, and drift off into my own little world, then all of a sudden, everything feels alright again... I see music, and poetry, as a way to express my opinions, and get things out of me, and that's what her music does to me. It greatly inspires me to write, although I feel as if I could never write anything as powerful, as real, as beautiful as any of her work. I find it really rare that a singer/songwriter such as Fiona can inspire me, and touch me so deeply. It just means so much to me, because she is what I want to be. As long as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a singer. I look at Fiona as such an idol, such a role-model... someday, I hope to be as great as her...to be able to compose such wonderful music, get my voice out into the public, and share my heart with the world through music. She just has such a mezmerising, enchanting voice...it's simply beautiful... her music is unlike anything I've ever experienced before. I love it.
name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Laura Toronto 19 Fiona is so beautiful in every sense of the word because her lyrics make me feel. Her song "Carrion" makes me feel so powerful. If I am ever feeling depressed I just blast her music and sing along with her music in front of my mirror and I feel like the most powerful woman. I love her music so much because when I listen to her music its as if I can actually feel what she is feeling when she sings. It's like her experiences suddenly become my own. I think that's why so many people love and appreciate her work. I went to see her in Rochester on Feb/26 and I cant even begin to express the emotions I felt while watching her perform her brilliant music. A Toronto date, please!
name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Letitia Goerlitz Penticton B.C./Canada LetitiaGoerlitz@hotmail.com 15 Fiona has this voice, its so incredible. You can almost smell it, or maybe even touch it. One of my favorite songs that has touched me so is "across the universe" the re-creation that the beatles had once done. Listening to her just, it feels as though her voice seeps into my veins and massages all over my body, and relaxes me so much, i drift off into this amazingly beautiful sleep. Fiona is the best, never actually used to like her much, but as soon as I heard "across the universe" i was like "o-my-god" lol. well, later all! luv: ~-tishie-~
name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Teresa Toronto, ON sleepingtodream@mail.com 20 To be totally honest w/you, I didn't start listening to Fiona right from the beginning, but when I saw her make that speech at the awards, I knew she was trying to tell us something meaningful. It wasn't until last summer that my cousin recommended Tidal to me and ever since then, I can't get her cds out of my cd player! I, too, have gone through some not-so-great times and Fiona's music has helped me get through it all. If it wasn't for her artistry, and powerful, honest voice, I don't know where I'd be right now. I still have yet to meet this truly talented musician/writer but when I do, I know I'll be at a loss of words. I'm still waiting for her to have a Toronto show too, so I can enjoy seeing her perform her music live. She has inspired me in many ways. I have started to write my feelings down in poetry form when I can't find the nerve to say it aloud and it has done wonders for me. I thank Fiona from the bottom of my heart for changing my life the way she has - her music touches me deeper than I can express in words. Thank you, Fi. Hope to see you soon :)
name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Megan Canada jump_in_the_river@hotmail.com 17 I don't know where to start. I began getting into Fiona's music when I was 12 and in grade 8. I've never been one of the "popular" kids, and I've always been teased or ignored by everyone of my peers. Because of that I turned to music. Fiona was only one of the artists that I fell in love with. I really respect Fiona and her music, she doesn't put up with any shit from anyone. She's so strong, and I think that's great. She's totally honest and truthfull in a world that doesn't even know the meanings of those words. I just really want to thank her for all the music that's she's made. She has and still will always inspire me.

name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Utopia Canada psychochick_30@hotmail.com 13 Fiona is..an amazing poet and artist. She is a creative genius and words are not a worthy description of her. She is of higher or greater being that most existing people. She is amazing. And i thank her for all the art she has contributed to the world.

name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Campbell Graham Canada agraham83@hotmail.com 17 Well, i started off being a major PTA fan. (I'm a movie fanatic, lol.) But last month i bought her first album and was completely blown away. There are really only two people whose music has meant a great deal to me and they are Bob Dylan and Fiona Apple. She's just great!
name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Brielle Ontario angel_fyre_33@hotmail.com 13 To sum it up in four words: "Fiona is the greatest." My favourite songs are Never is a Promise, and I Know, and they will be for the rest of my life. It is nice to know that there are others who love her music as much as I do, I have never met another fan. My aspiration is to become as great a singer and poet as she. I am lost without her music. Any others as big of fans as I, I would love to hear from you.
name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Ainsley Szewchuk Victoria, British Columbia ainsley.Szewchuk@brentwood.bc.ca 15 As most songwriters do, when Fiona Apple writes a song she is writing what she feels for herself. But what makes her so amazing is that she can sing what most of us, I included, do not yet have the awareness or perception to translate from feelings into words and music. I found Fiona's Tidal when I was 12. I don't remember anything particular influencing me to buy it in the first place, I think it might have been after seeing Sleep To Dream on tv, but from the moment I heard her amazing and honest voice I was hooked. Listening to her music and reading her words helped carry me through the confusion that I have yet to fully figure out. Fiona's strength is amazing to me. To be able to open yourself up so much to the world is one of the most courageous things someone can do. Her honesty in her music and her words are such a relief in this world of plastic substitutions, and pseudo-pop-music. or is pop already just pseudo-music? And her originality and realness are a comfort to a young girl trying to figure out what to believe in. My respect for Fiona as a singer, writer, musician, and person is tremendous and undiminishable. Even though I have never met her, and most likely do not know her as much as I think I do she has taught me so much in the past four years, I could never explain all of it. Two things in particular have given me so much strength and so much to think about, that will hopeful be with me always. "Go with yourself." are words that I hope I can live by, and as someone who will never be "normal", and most of the time never wants to be, they are the epitome of individualism and strength. When I first read the full title of When The Pawn.. I didn't quite get it. But after looking at it for a bit I began to understand it. I don't know what Fiona was thinking of when she wrote it, but parts of it like "depth is the greatest of heights" and "if you know where to stand then you'll know where to land, and if you fall it won't matter cause you'll know that you're right.", mean so much to me. Reading these words remind me to stay true to myself and what I believe in, and when I am not sure how to be or act, and when the temptation comes to change myself to match others peoples standards, they echo in my mind and allow me to be free. As cheesy as all that may sound, (and believe me I took a long time finding a way to sound as least cheesy as possible) I mean every word, and I hope that Ms. Fiona Apple knows how much of a wonderful person she is. I have not yet had the chance to meet Fiona and don't know if I ever will. But when that day comes I know I will probably be too nervous to say anything more than what I have wanted her to know since 1997. Thank you.

name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Laura Canada lcm_420@hotmail.com I don't know what to say. Everybody takes their music in their own way, makes it their own. We come up with our own meaning for it that's untouchable, because it's ours. I think the reason Fiona Apple is such an influence on me is because she seems to keep it real with her music and I don't think I'm wrong about that. If I am, I know this seems selfish, but I can keep it real, because I know what each song means to me. I mean, I've had this unbelievable connection to her lyrics and the way she got the message across in her music. It's her and Acyalone for me. Those two artists helped me survive.

name: location: e-mail: age: connect:	Geoff Mckay Canada gmckay@rogers.com 41 Fiona's strong vocal style really got my attention. Her lyrics are her own, and that they are sung with such conviction/emotion is so powerful. For a guy (and one a generation apart) who can relate to her tells you that she has universal appeal.
