tell her that my chemical romance took advantage of "pop/punk/emo" being all the rage, and that any band (while i do like mcr) that can (and should) be in the same sentence as fall out boy, should not have fans trying to knock other artists' fans for liking someone who essentially kicked off the singer/songwriter genre, and who does not sound like anyone else in the mainstream.

Your friend probably only thinks that Vanessa is only singing "What's in right now" because she thinks MCR is 'unique' but she is sadly mistaken in that MCR is a VERY popular band right now, and I think, basically she's got it a bit mixed up.

No offense but whoever said that must not know much about Vanessa

yup definitely! Vanessa's works are unique in a way and obviously hard to catogerize them as "taking the easy way out". Her ideas came from hardwork for years, not just instant sparks in a mind for no good reasons. Just compare her lyrics with others who are "really in" right now.

Vanessa is 1 in a million. Shes far from all the other lame artists of today. Her voice and her look give her a different edge compared to people like rihanna or Natasha Bedingfield. She takes risks with her music and it works out sooo nicely!

Yea I find Vanessa's voice distinctive, but it's not so much the voice that seperates her from what is mainstream....it's her style of music. She doesnt hold back on her emotions or mask how she feels about something to please people, and in my eyes that sets her apart from what is mainstream these days.

I agree completely.

easy way my butt!

VC has had to do so much in her life just to get to where she is now.  If anyone thinks she's mainstream, they are obviously wrong.
MCR is very different, but whenever they have a new CD come out, they usually are in the top 10 on iTunes.
That's been hard for Nessa to do in quite a few years.
Way back in her BNN days, she decided to pave her own path, instead of following the one led by Britney and Christina.
Her voice is unique, her style is different than anything i've ever heard. Let's face it, she's one in a million.

No way is VC considered "mainstream". If you do, yur on crack.

Vanessa definitely isn't playing what's popular right now, or every album she has would be a best seller.   She hit the popular note on her first album, but since then has been going against the grain.  So I don't see that as a valid argument.

I love Vanessa's music, and her strength in my opinion is her songwriting and piano.  

If I had to critique her however, I'd say her voice however is probably the part I'd most want improved, as it just seems to be lacking just a little something in many of her songs, not certain what.  

Or perhaps I'm just used to the over synthesized recordings of other artists today, who rerecord their own voices over themselves to give the vocals more power.  Don't know.  One can just feel a difference in power listening to Vanessa singing versus someone like Kelly Clarkson.

Not that I'm trying to slam Vanessa or anything, just noting my observations.  Again, I love her music.

Do you think Vanessa is light?
Title: My friend does not like Vanessa becuase...
Post by: NESSAussie on May 29, 2008, 05:46:18 am
Light as in light [alternative] pop? Perhaps you could classify the 3 singles
from BNN as that - but you don't have to look far to find songs that are so
much more full on. if someone needed an idea I'd play  Wanted for them :razz:

Peace

I love wanted. I dont understand why alot of people think she is light. Well mayvbe I do its becuase they havent heard anything beside Ordinary Day and Athousand Miles, and that they all think screamo is SOOOOOOOOOOOO much cooler it really bugs me (not screamo the thought on the rest of the teenage population).
