So I was NOT impressed -- vanessa has been bad the past 3 times I have seen her, and shows are progressively getting worse....
First vanessa looked stoned out of her mind, and like she just woke up after being hung over. Her hair was a mess, clothing choices looked very odd. ...She wore a white spaghetti strapped shirt, long black gaucho pants, and a heinous red shawl thing.
She barely spoke, and when she did it was nothing new.
She played
Nolita Fairytale
Hands on Me
Ordinary Day (on Rhodes)
White Houses
Heroes and Thieves
A Thousand Miles
Home
More Than This
Her set was shorter than Anna Nailick's set.
Overall it was a waist for me to go see her, but the rest of the performers did well! She left right after the show, and did not sign anything or do any pictures. Her performances are becoming more and more robotic; she is just playing and saying the same things over and over-- I miss her spontaneity, and the old vanessa....
On a positive note -- it was nice to see her alone!

please don't get annoyed because this is my opinion, but it seem to be the consensus of the people around me.
SHORT
Boring
show

i guess i could agree with most of the stuff you said, but i wasn't as critical just because i haven't seen her in 2 years and was just excited to see her again. i'll have pictures and videos available soon.
vanessa didn't seem very happy or awake.. she kept complaining about the "apocalyptic" weather.
i loved anna nalick, though, she was hilarious.

Ordinary Day on the Rhodes? thats new at least. usually its C`est la vie. Eh I just think shes kinda depressed latley. I mean shes just playing these shows and nothing is happening. I mean I would want at least some recognition. All she gets is seeing people that know her. Not that that is bad, but if I played shows it would to be to get new people and get a few good numbers in cd/single sales.

Did you enjoy Delta though? :D Cause my friends and I are trying to make her huge in the US :o

She was very funny, I kinda liked her!

show
I'm not sure what the average number of songs in for a set like this where
there's a multiple line-up, other than to compare it to the 7 song set list of
V's support down under for Stevie. If you're used to more, disappointment
is only going to be compounded by V's demeanor as you've described it :?

For the most part I'd have to agree with Steve. I wasn't completely unimpressed, but I'd definitely have to agree that she wasn't very personable at this performance. And she clearly was "out of it" :wink:, my boyfriend and I both noticed, as did Steve. I personally don't care about stuff like that, but I wished that for the 40 dollars I spent to go to the show that I would have gotten a bit of a better performance. In any case, it was nice to see her again. Was cool that she played "Ordinary Day" on the Rhodes - that was something different. I feel that perhaps it was partly the type of show that it was... one in which the majority of the audience only knew her singles... not a show where there's bigger fans of hers at (at least.. not many). I tend to think when she, or any artist plays a show like this that they don't get into it quite as much as they do intimate ones with their fans. I enjoyed myself, was a good night all in all. And the wine, beer and food were wonderful haha.

Thans guys, I'm sorry the show was a little lack luster. I probably would have been disappointed too. At least she got a good review in the paper- the Buffalo news can be sketchy.
-
Carlton’s and Goodrem’s performances stole the show
That's what I would've expected; so its nice to see this outcome in print :razz:
Peace

Was this a show with Radin?
-
Not sure what you people on the Eastcoast do to her but I have never seen her so out if it as you described.
i loved anna nalick, though, she was hilarious.
Yes!! That's my girl. Loves her!! i haven't seen anything on her forum about the show.
-

No it was with Anna Nalick, Delta whatever her name is and I don't know who else. There's a thread about it.
-
What's happening to her?? If it was a waste of time it seems that she lost her motivation.... :(

I agree, I think shes depressed. Wouldnt you be? Shes on top of the music world, and what happens when her music gets deeper?! A flop. So what does she do? Quit her record label, and ends up signing with a man who make promises he doesnt keep. In my opinion Irv signed Vanessa, thinking it would be good to have her and it would be easy. He was wrong and gave up. Remeber Kiwibox? Se used to light up when his name was mentioned. Now its more of Oh... Oh yae hes great... I think she has a right to be depressed at this point. :(
(sorry about my run on sentences.)
-
no problem about your sentences! It's a pity that many people make promises and don't do what they promise to do.... I understand so why she's not happy...but maybe with the project she will understand that many fans support her!!
-
Just wanted to make it clear that it wasn't a terrible performance. I've just seen better from her... that's all :) Still enjoyed myself. And another positive note, my boyfriend (who runs a local music label) was extremely impressed by her.

There's a thread about her in the other artists section of this forum; click sig :wink:

sooo yea
Ferras, whom everyone forgot about was not that bad
Delta was amazing!
Anna was not amazing, very good though, but extremely hilarious
then vanessa - ok she was not awful, but I guess not like it use to be even when it was a small show she was still personable, and fun, piano was good, and was not really mechanical.[/list]

an online review gave her such praise that I was really glad.
But after reading your views, I felt sad again :(
Vanessa oh Vanessa.

it was in gina's post on the first page...

I heard the radio station the next morning say that they thought she was really impressive, but the way they talked about it, they thought that the other performers were much more personable than she was. Which is sad... hoping it was just an off day in that department.

I guess for me it was really similar to the way that she was in montréal and Toronto

I think it's the people that actually saw her may have not seen her live before, so they think shes always like this. I have never personally seen her live, but i have seen videos. And she sounds nothing of robotic, so this must've been a bit worse.
I was so happy when I heard that Delta and Vanessa were at the same event! I really hope some of yous begin to like Delta a bit more :)

Delta was the one who blocked Vanessa from going to the top of Chart Attack. I will never forgive her!
just kidding :D

Videos are taking forever to upload, but here are a couple pictures.
Forgive me for my overall lack of photography skills. I try.

idk why you are so unimpressed with her, she looks fine, its the lighting that makes her hair look like that. it is similar to a lot of the lighting in fitting rooms, it makes your hair look frizzy and terrible. although her clothes arent what you would call her style, i think she just wanted to be comfortable maybe. lighten up. she's a person, she can be tired or jet lagged or whatever. at least she isnt some stuck up bitch.
-
What are you talking about? Who said what?
-
people are saying that they are very unimpressed with her and that her performance sucked. thats what i am talking about.

i don't think her performance sucked, believe me, i was about to have a panic attack because i was so excited to see her. i think people are just saying they've seen better, which i guess i could agree with.. i still think she did a great job.
-
ok i guess i misunderstood [thank god].
-
sorry double post.
-
Yeah, I never said I didn't like it. I've just seen her quite a few times and found this performance to not be as good as the rest of the times I've seen her. That's all.

That is how she acted at the show in Montreal and Toronto -- something seemes like it is missing. I guess I just have a normal level to expect her at, and this was nowhere near that. Her whole image including like her face looked busted
