I can only speak for myself as to why Tori is appealing. Personally, I find her music very relatable (I won't bore anyone with examples), I like her obscure references to film-stars, pop culture, literature etc. I think it makes her music more individual and interesting, and there's a lot of wit in her writing which appeals to my sense of humour. I love the production on most of her music (except The Beekeeper, not that I think it's an entirely bad album, it has its charms). She also puts on an incredible live show, fantastic energy; even songs I wasn't particularly fond of on her albums, I have come to love once seeing her perform them live.

Actually I'd be interested to see if the Tori fans like Martha Wainwright?

The bulk of Tori's demographic is definately female. It might have a lot to do with the themes she writes about, I'm not entirely sure. I do like Martha Wainwright a lot.
