There might be a thread on this already, but here is the vid.  

She's not that great, but seems to like playing the piano.

singing incorrect lyrics saddens me.

why does everyone think it's "did he" instead of "didn't he"

it angers me. :?

She said freeze. In the sheet music book for Be Not Nobody the lyrics are written "Time will not freeze." And she was most likely following the official sheets. *Shrugs*

I really dislike how Ordinary Day was transcribed in that book, the bridge isn't anything like what Vanessa actually plays. I taught myself how to play the bridge by ear because I'm a perfectionist and get annoyed with innaccurate sheet music. lol

And she adds a high C to the Gsus chord and the book leaves that out as well. There's all these little things here and there that are wrong.

Don't even get me started on A Thousand Miles, they fucked up that transcription horribly. The bridge is wrong, the pre-chorus is wrong and they added an extra F# in the chorus, etc etc. They attempted to make the song way more complicated than it actually is, everytime I look at the pre-chorus part they wrote in there I'm always like, "WHY." lol Okay I'm done.

The Harmonium book is even worse, I mean, what the fuck did they do to White Houses. Haha. Okay, now I'm really done. I swear.

I couldn't even be bothered reading through the 'Harmonium' sheet music book. I just printed off what people on here transcribed and did it that way.

Haha, I just edited my post and mentioned the Harmonium book. That book is AWFUL. Holy crap. And yeah, I'm glad we have people around such as Baronessa who write awesome transcriptions. She has the most accurate ones here I've noticed.
