However, take away the lights. Take away the fancy sound system. Take away the drums and guitars. Leave the artist and leave her piano. The response from Tori's fans would not change.
Tori brings more to the stage than just excellent music and an amazing performance.
She brings with her a story, a life, an aura. To ask a fan what it is that attracts them to her would be like asking Michelangelo why he painted. To her fans, she is a role model, a mentor, a savior, a friend. Hundreds of fans line up outside the venues before and after her performances for a chance to receive an autograph, a smile or a hug. Tori graciously meets them and talks to them, never once acting like a celebrity.
