So I finally got around to checking out those 4 Elton John albums and... this doesn't sound much like Judie Tzuke's early material at all! At least that's my take on it. You really need to take a closer listen if you think Tzuke was ever just aping Elton John, even having been mentored by him.
I'll go back to the original point you made several pages back or whenever it was: I don't see any inconsistent behavior in me being a big fan of Tzuke that doesn't particularly care for Toto or Elton John. I really don't. Apples & oranges...
EDIT: Although it should be made clear that I think Tzuke's first album is a somewhat different thing than her later albums. It's when she really found her stride that I think she's great. Still much I like about the first album, but it's far from her best imo
