75k is awesome! I would have never expected it the way yall pay her on this forum (only 2 pages?!).
The album is cute for what it is, especially when you get over some of the basic lyrics. It's a good mix of what we know her for. Expensive is a smash, but I'm guessing they didn't push it for the 2nd single bc NL didn't do too well and this has a very similar vibe. I wouldn't have minded a Treasure or Paper Hearts type record, but I'm proud of this effort. It's solid.

This has very solid pop sensibilities with a string vocal to back it up. It lacks some overall originality but it's an impressive debut.

Her voice is amazing and her talent is undeniable but the album is a massive disappointment for me.

I am going to have to drive to another city just to get the target edition of the album. I'm still in shock that her album is out. I still remember instantly falling in love with her based on the few seconds I saw of her on Idol singing Hot N' Cold. Talent and determination can really go a long way.

wAIT WHAT? She's performing at the BET Awards? Bitch WORK For the past few years, they've been having up-and-coming artists singing between performances and before commercial breaks. I'm pretty sure it's something like that.

That's the VMA's though. Plus why would BET promote a pop artist in between breaks?

I don't know if this a joke or meant as a serious question, but I'm listening to Tori's album right now; holly hell is her voice incredible. That said, the material itself feels a bit faceless, although I do love "First Heartbreak, and she threw it DOWN for that live vocal of "Funny." Pop needs stellar vocalists like her more than ever right now, so I'm stoked to hear this album is projected to do so well.

And Twitter lit up with positive reactions when she was done! LOVED it! The icing would've been some kind of advert letting people know to go get her album NOW!

The thing about her performance on BET is that as amazing as it was, it's not even her absolute best. I saw her in concert in 2013 and she ripped just about every pop artist out there right now to shreds with her vocals. I'm so proud of her right now. She's come so far.

You can watch the BET Awards performance here. Outstanding job. Is this even the same girl that's singing on her album?

If only her album sounded as good as she did on the EBT Awards. I can't really justify paying $10 bucks for a physical copy of such bland, basic material. I do like her first single though.

She's definitely a lot better live. Her performance on Kelly & Michael today was amazing.

The album is boring as I knew it would be. I like this girl, but I foresee her being another Stacie Orrico. & her sales are alright. I just can't seem to get over how huge she is on social media. Once again, subbies/followers don't translate into sales.
