sounds ok me,

like where the piano is sitting, the vocals are right in your face, I would rather hear the vocals a little more roomy and a bit lower in the mix, but that's just me, I'm not a commercial music listener and I couldn't get into anything from Tori Amos since Boys for Pele, So I'm probably not the target audience.

not a fan of the mid-bass vocal bump either, seems that is the trend to push 250ish to make it feel like they are right there in your face. The Death Cab for Cutie albums, Plans, for example is a great example of that bump. Might be what you want.

Overall I think it works, the piano is a little sterile in parts, little clunky and choppy, maybe a tweak on the programming could help. I would also kill the high end attack on her vox on a few places too, maybe around 5-6k.

Great job though, please don't take my post as an attack, I think it sounds good overall.
