Ok so here's the deal, I just listened to the song "My Fave" on Gwen Carlton's myspace and it's the same song Vanessa Carlton plays in PTMY. Around 2:52 she plays a little clip of it, and I was wondering what song that is? Does anybody know?

im pretty sure its: Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum by Debussy
-
I think it's fitting that she gets her own thread on the forum.
http://www.myspace.com/gwencarlton , if you didn't already see the link.
I like "Unfinished", her voice reminds me of V's throughout the song. Her piano skills are excellent, but I guess that comes with having a mom who teaches piano. "First" is good, but her voice could use a little control. I can't wait to hear more stuff from her.
-
Thanks for the link. I never saw a pic of her before. I think she was in the audience at VC's Bowery Ballroom concert. I recall thinking to myself "she looks like Vanessa, I wonder if that's her sister" before the concert started. She had that pouty look on her face then, too! lol:-)
-
Gwen says Thanks for all our support, by the way.
-
She reminds me of Regina Spektor a little bit.
"Unfinished" is an interesting song.
-
she reminds me of regina too (& VC).
amazing piano on my fave, i wish i was that good. maybe i would be if i didn't quit piano lol but i doubt it
-
I like her interpretation of Gradus, it's a very tough song to play technically (Oh my god, it took me sooo long to get the right finger technique).
She does remind me of Regina Spektor, in her old demo days (Songs, 11:11) and Vanessa, in her demo days too. Brilliant.
-
I like "First", and I don't think she looks that much like Vanessa.
-
I just checked out her myspace page. She sounds so much like Vanessa!
-
She sent out a bulletin as she posted another song on myspace called please :)

-
she sounds soooo much like Regina Spektor...!!!!
-
she sounds soooo much like Regina Spektor...!!!!
Yeah... like a cross between her and.... Vanessa Carlton. Lol.
Tried to add her on myspace but the page just won't load properly for me.
-
heres a link to add her http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=invite.addfriend_verify&friendID=234387275
-
She's nice but for now, I don't dig her voice. :?
Her piano skills seem excellent though.
-
She added a new song, called Desert.
I think her voice sounds a bit better in it.
I agree that her piano skills are craaazy good.
-
Didn't like her.. not yet, her music is not complete yet, maybe in the futre, I may enjoy her...
-
New song - In bed. I think I might like this best so far.
-
I like Desert.
I think she's an inspiration to all people who want to write like Vanessa.
I want to go to one of her shows.
-
Who is Gwen Carlton?
-
Who is Gwen Carlton?
Vanessa's sister.
-
I thought it was Gwen Stefani's sister. :lol:
-
Lol!! :lol:
i like her music , she plays piano very well, ( with a piano teacher mother it's not surprising) but her voice is not really good. she can get better.
-
Baby Bush is something else. I can't believe she went that far but I respect her for being true to herself. I like it because I don't like Bush either

I think he's obviously from another country so there's no reason to go all loco on him.
-
Does anybody still have the songs 'My Fave' and 'Unfinished'? Cause none of the songs are avaliable on her page on MySpace anymore..would u please upload the songs to any website or just tell me where can I just listen to any of them? :lol:
By the way, how old is she? She doesnt tell anything about that in her ABOUT ME either.
Thank u, guys..

I think she's really pretty, and I think she has potential. I'm certainly going to stay tuned to her to see what develops. :wink:
-
She posted this...
the sister topic.
So I have been trying to skirt around the topic of Vanessa since I started my music, but it's time to talk. I get too many emails about it, and I always feel guilty ignoring the emails with no reply, so it's time to address the topic. Obviously we are sisters, therefore we of course always will have love for one another, but we are not close.
With that said, I am VERY honored and HAPPY to have her fans be fans of my music too. I am a fan of both myself, but I'm probably a bigger fan of hers than of any of my amateur stuff lol. She has her jet setting life in NYC, and wherever else she is right now, and I have my yoga living life in DC, and that is who we are... Very different, but its a great thing.
thanks for all of your support.
xx

Its kinda sad that they dont talk.
-
yeah.....
they both seem very nice....it seems like they should be very close...and inseparable even....
it sad.... :cry: :cry:
-
Yea it is a little sad but it just sounds like they are at different parts of their lives and it's not as if they don't care or love about each other, they're just different. Anyone who has a sister knows that no matter how far you drift you'll always love them.

Yeah...I have 4 siblings: a twin sister, 2 younger sisters, and a younger brother...
And i know sometimes i feel like i wanna strangle them and never talk to them again! :? :? :lol: LOL
But in the end....I guess we are all eternally bonded to our siblings....
Because whether we like it or not, there will always be some kind of feeling towards them :lol: :razz: :D
-
I am not close to my sister, just because you are family does not mean you have to be close, or even friends.
When people ask me how my sister is doing, I always lie and say "Oh yeah she's great." When really, I haven't talked with her in months, years. I have no clue how she's really doing. We live in the same house! And we avoid each other and only talk to each other if its something like, "can you move your car so I can wash my car?" things like that. But I am very close with my cousins, and one of my friends I consider her to be like a sibling/sister to me more than my biological sister. We have different lives, and we are different people. I totally understand what Gwen said, but they will always have love for one another.
-
This was on her official Myspace so she has her songs for sale now! thats cool! :D

Is it just me, or is this girl (young woman in CA, CO, CT, FL, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA, and WA) amazingly beautiful to look at? And not just that, but I love to hear her sing, too! Hope she keeps it up! :D
-
Yeah, I really enjoy Gwen Carlton's music.

Is this girl not just one of the most beautiful living things I've ever seen?
-
sorry but I don't really like her.. :?
don't like her way to sing. Vanessa is more professional and talented. maybe cause of more experience and ....talent? :D
-
I actually have discovered that my sister and I aren't very close either, we live in the same house, but I just don't feel a closeness to her, we are such opposites, fire and water. Its sad, but its life, I plan in 2 years to move to New York, which is accross the country, I will be so far from everyone, but its what I feel I need to do, even though it'll make me so separated from my family.

Alas, comparisons to Vanessa are inevitable, but certainly understandable. They both have the same mother (and father, for that matter), so a good chunk of their musical background comes from the same place. There is also certainly a familiarity in their voices. And as this is a Vanessa Carlton message board, almost any other musician discussed is likely to be compared and contrasted with Vanessa, regardless of their relation to her.
Vanessa started out in much the same place. Most of her earliest recordings are quite weird-sounding compared to what she does now. She's a much better singer and songwriter these days. Her playing ability may have matured some as well, though she was never dull on the keys. Most any musician that we really like today had their awkward starting-out phase. I doubt Gwen Carlton is any different. I turned on to Shannon Thomas a few years ago, even before I had heard most of the marvelous tracks that became 'Brainstorms', and her work since that album has been even better, on average. I still strongly believe she's going to really glow in the near future.
Of course also, Gwen is really only doing music part-time, and hasn't (yet?) opted to go the "starving artist" route. She has a life doing other things at the moment and readily admits that her musical exploits aren't defining and that it's not necessarily her dream to be a star. But I hear promise, and I'll keep tuned to her channel and see what comes out. I have a strong notion that anything could happen with her.

Yes she does remind me of early Vanessa... If she chooses to work more on her music... Ill just wait and see.
-
I think that her work on the piano is less....complicated? Don't find the right word. Of course, vanessa was a bit like her at the beginning, but personally it's different though. Anyway it's normal that's different: they're sister and not clones :lol: . It's better to see two different way to write music and to sing. But for now I don't like her voice. Maybe in the future?... :)
-
^ ^ ^
I agree with Kate...her voice isn't that good..yet...but she does sound like Vanessa's voice in her Demos....kind of whiny and high pitched :lol:LOL
I also think that she records the songs at home..or somewhere not too professional...so you have to count that in too....Vanessa's songs are recorded in a studio and they are edited and mixed and all.... LOL

She definitely isn't recording professionally - and, believe me, that makes ALL the difference in the world. You'd be amazed at how hard it is to make recordings sound good when you don't know what you're doing.
-
Didn't Vanessa make five whole tapes of stuff recorded at home?
-
she sounds a loooot like vanessa sometimes. it feels kinda weird.
i wish she had gone on with her music.
how do i download her songs? myspace won't let me do it. i would love to have "snow" on my itunes.
-
that's so weird, I was just looking at her myspace yesterday as well! but no, I don't know how to do that.
-
Ask the people in the Downloading thread. They can provide you stuffs you never even heard of before. :D

i was looking for something to distract while we have no bells, and i discovered that gwen sounds a lot like vanessa, so i can pretend i'm listening to new stuff from vanessa haha.
