General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Vote on the Muchmoremusic Top 10!

« on: March 21, 2008, 10:32:44 pm »

Taylor Swift's Teardrops On My Guitar has been around for about 2 years, yet it's on this countdown... rather interesting...

And I definitely voted for Vanessa! I also voted for Daughtry, Alicia Keys, Feist, etc. Yes, I have quite the exciting iTunes library.

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / Any good songs?

« on: March 21, 2008, 10:29:11 pm »

My Best and Morning Sting are pretty fun songs. Heroes and Thieves and This Time are pretty strong lyrically even if they somewhat-fail musically, so that can really give you a better appreciation of the song if you play it on the piano. Who's to Say and Pretty Baby have pretty easy parts on the piano and  are pretty fun to sing in return. I recommend first doing your favourite songs and then trying them all out.

it was amazing!
though the live feed had its problems she did flawlessly.

Set List:
1.Ordinary Day
2.Hands on Me
3.A Thousand Miles
4.Nolita Fairytale
5.Heroes and Thieves
6.White Houses
7.My Best (encore)

im not sure if thats the right order..but those are the ones she played:)

Hmm... isn't the encore usually More Than This? How is My Best an ideal song to finish off a show?

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / Why are people hatin' on This Time?

I like the lyrics in the verses, and I've come to have an appreciation for the song after playing it through on the piano.

Are they gonna just be performing in separate performances or singing a song together?

I want this on HQ now! Without the lag, I actually kinda like the video. I also think the one on YouTube is slightly more censored with the skirt part...

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / More Than This Sheet Music

« on: February 21, 2008, 09:15:37 pm »

Today I was playing my "modified" version of More Than This (AKA random left hand harmonizing chord stuff coupled together with the melody in the right hand) in the band room, and my facial expression was all depressed, and somebody was like "You're playing such a beautiful song but you still look so sad," and then I privately thought, "Wow, my crappy interpretation of More Than This is that beautiful?"

Haha.

By the way, I need to complete it. Anybody wanna tell me the CHORDS For:

The trees grow so thick you can barely see through
And the forest bestows all the simplest of truths

I think it's a slight key change but I don't know! :\

I requested it on The Crave 95.3 in Vancouver, but I don't know if they've been playing it (or if they even have it at all) cuz I don't listen, haha.  But at least I tried, right?  

Anyone in Van City heard it on the radio yet?

Aww, I was going to request it the other night on the Beat 94.5 (mah station!) but I requested Touch My Body by Mariah Carey instead.

Teardrops On My Guitar is the story of my life (with appropriate gender modifications, of course.)

why the hell hasn't perez posted the damn video yet!
i'm really surprised the fat bastard

please guys let's send him more e-mails with the video link from youtube or whatever and put Vanessa Carlton in the subject!

he has to put it up on his blog.

I've dropped him an email telling him to write about it.

I even lied and said Vanessa likes him.

I sent him an email, I kinda lied to and said if he puts her video, we all  NESSAholics will love him!   :lol:

Hey, Perez Hilton is just 5 steps from being my homepage!

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / OFFICIAL CHART WATCH: Hands On Me

« on: February 15, 2008, 03:57:26 pm »

HEROES & THIEVES IS NOT A FAILURE!!!!

Critically, it's not, but in terms of sales...

I think Vanessa needs to go back to Ron Fair and make a song named A Million Kilometers, and THEN she can release Hands On Me. Ordinary Day's popularity (it got to #30 on the Hot 100, which is okay compared to how she's doing now) is probably just riding off of the success of A Thousand Miles.

I think this video could've been her walking around a video exchange and climbing Tibetan mountains and cargoing across the sea, intercut with the piano and her lying on the bed. The couples thing was pretty cool though, but the skirt thing and the shots of her running around with the camera at the end during the CLIMAX of the song... I mean, come on.

Actually, now that I've seen it with a little less lag in the beginning, it looks a whole lot better. However, the lag comes back around the middle, so I'm going to have to wait till it pops up on YouTube... Yahoo is so mean!

I suppose it's okay, but I watched it in lag, and that made it look SUPER indie.
