What is your least favorite VC song?
-
*hopes Let doesn't read this*
I would have chosen Greensleves, but she didn't write it. Of all her own songs, Pretty Baby is my least favorite.
-
Ummmm.... "leave?"
Sorry, even though she didn't write it, Greensleeves is still my least fave.
Awwwww... You don't like "Prince," Kat? That's my favorite! :( Oh well, to each his/her own. ;-)
-Joe
-
actually Prince is my least fav. I just didnt leave a comment at first. Katia hasnt voted yet.
-
I considered Prince too (sorry Joe), but it's just so good live I couldn't do it.
I went for Carnival. I thought it was pretty good when I first heard it, but it gets steadily worse with each listen. A re-record might change my mind, but until then Carnival is my least fave.

Oh okay. Sorry, Kat!
...but it's just so good live I couldn't do it.
I couldn't agree more with this comment, Kev. I like it on the CD because of the kick ass drums and bass but live it's absolutely amazing! Nate and Sasha just kick ass on it live! :D

I agree the music=shit, but the lyrical value redeems the song in my book.
*shrug* to each their own.
-
i didn't vote yet, i'm having a hell of a time trying to decide. I didn't like Unsung on the CD but Nate twirling the sticks etc totally changed my mind. I'm not a huge Paradise fan... i actually like Prince, and Greensleeves is my least fav but i'm not sure. i'm going to have some supper, then come back and decide... maybe i'll listen to a few songs again too :)
-
Katia is a pansy! LMAO :P
-
ROFL, Trish is being mean! ;)
ok so i was wrong about paradise... i do like this song!!! rawr.
I just went through all my Vanessa stuff and i can't say there is one song on the CD i don't like... i appreciate each of them for what they give. I would say the song i really don't like much is Greensleeves!
ugh! i AM a pansy! i can't decide!
OK OK, um i'm gonna go for uh Greensleeves! yea, um Ta!
Edit: BTW Kev how can you not like Carnival? I think the beat is really neat... i dunno. I think i like it because it's a lot diff then everything else :)
-
I'm not mean! :twisted: Then again...
Katia's still a pansy! She picked Greensleeves! :P
And Carnival rocks my socks, but for me Sway live = RAWR
-

i was listening to the Sway earlier -- live from Rochester (off Nate's site). I hafta say that is one of my fav songs from VC shows =) I don't like that she has to play the keyboard part in the middle without Mike :x
And why is it i'm a pansy for pickin greensleeves??? eh eh?
-
You're a pansy for picking it because greensleeves is top notch. ;-P
And to be honest I probably only chose carnival because it is new to us and has had the less time to grow on me. Plus it reminds me of candy floss which I don't like.
-Kev
P.S. I believe that you guys would call Candy Floss Cotton Candy. Right?
-

uh, yeah... hahaha. If you hadn't said that, i would have had no idea what you were referring to ;)
-
Well.... I guess after much deliberation I was forced to pick "Paradise." ... "Unsung" and "Prince" make up for their ehhh'ness on the album by rocking out live, and well, we've never really had the chance to see what "Paradise" can do.
-Brian
-

True, true. A crying shame that :( I considered picking it, but it used to make me smile on the way to work (yep, paradise makes me smile. lol)
-
*hopes Let doesn't read this*
I would have chosen Greensleves, but she didn't write it. Of all her own songs, Pretty Baby is my least favorite.
I did read it :cry: it's all good to each their own :wink:
-
i wuz almost gonna pick pretty baby, buut i picked prince. i guess it is good live, but on the cd i dont like it.
-
She may not have written it... but someone had to scratch out that god awful arrangement of Greensleeves...
The song itself is beautiful.. the arrangement could be done by nails on a chalkboard and sound better...
-
greensleeves has the most votes?? ive never even heard that song...
i hate painted black though, i hate the original and vanessa's version, even if the best musician on earth played that song id still hate it
however if some spunk wanted to serenade me with it, i wouldnt mind :D
-
wow that was really sad to do, i absolutly love EVERY one of Van's songs. Choosing was like deciding which Abercrombie shirt is my least fave.
Mike
-
i guess im the only one that likes red ditty the least :oops:
-
Prince. Despite the rawking live version, it's still the only song in the whole CD I would consider skipping
-
that much
for some odd reason
i just dont like it
actually that is wrong
sometimes i am in the mood
for sway
and other times i just cant stand it
i really love prince though.. i think the repetition just adds something to the song.. and greensleeves is great also! i bought the whole maybe this christmas cd.. just for that song hehe.

I though I had heard Paradise live until I realised it wasn't Paradise and I didn't have a clue what it was (turns out it was She Floats). I thought I didn't remember Paradise sounding like that!
Anyway, after very little deliberation the award must go to Pretty Baby. I haven't heard all the songs in the list though. She Floats and Carnival for instance.
-
Prince!?!?!?! HOW DARE YOU! :wink:
-
"Prince" is alot of people's least favorite.
To me, it's not up to par with her other songs.
-

Mike
do you want to know how scary it was when i read this. i was about to post this same statement and i was about to add American Eagle into it to. but i guess you beat me to it. i also said Prince was my least fave...
-
My least favorite Vanessa songs would be ones where she doesn't sing or play piano. Other than that, just her presence on a record makes it awesome.:)
-
this is the saddest thread :oops:
Mike
-
I dont like Prince...
-
Wait, why do we have this poll??? This poll is not nessecary....
-
I voted for Greensleeves as its a cover and isn't a patch on the other choices :P
-
"She Floats"
:? don't kill me!
heh i know so many people love that song.
But it just doesn't do it for me.
"Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" would probably be my vote if it was up there, though..
-

i agree. i like it, but i dont love it. and it is probably my least favorite vanessa song. Although i do love what they did wwith stephan and vanessa's voice...multiplying them to sound like a choir...
-
I would have to say Prince. It's not that it's bad, I just don't like it as much as Vanessa's other songs.
ikwyd (iKnowWhatYouDid) i love she floats. Same here about Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me.
-
i picked Paint it Black
:?
probally cause theres no piano :roll:
dont worry, i still love the song.
-
I would vote for Meggie Sue if it was up there. It just doesn't do anything for me and is rather boring.
I love the rest of her songs, but I think I'm going to vote for Red Ditty, since it's very short and I rarely listens to it.
-
My least favorite song is Pretty Baby. I think it tries to hard to be a pop ballad and the vocals are terrible in my opinion. I think it is VC's weakest work. I was shocked when it was a single. It was like her label was trying to kill her even then... But it seems that a lot of people became fans after hearing the song.... To each his/her own, I guess!
-
I voted Sway and with difference. Paint it black follows it.
-
Why Sway? That is actually one of my FAVORITE songs...I think it is such a soothing and deep song---though there IS a hidden message behind it--I swear by Madonna there is!
-
For my least fav though I had to say "Big Yellow Taxi" first it's not a V song, it's a Joni Mitchell song I believe, second Counting Crows covered it and didn't do the best, and third, V barely sung on it at all, I wouldn't even call it a featured song. :(
-

SWAY IS TOTALLY AWESOME!
-
Paint it Black is amazing... I like it much more than the Stones' version. Nothing against the original, but Nessa's sounds darker and creepier, thus suiting the lyrics better. It's brilliant.
Greensleeves is great too. It's a bit slow, I will admit that, but the arrangement is unexpected and really suits the song.
I chose "Superhero", coz I never listen to it. I find the chorus annoying. I do however like the "mother may I lay my head down" part.
-
Prince. :? 8O
-
haha, I wonder what I voted for in this poll because apparently I did at some point in time. Who knows.

I was thinking the same thing.
-
the reason why I don't like big yellow taxi is because vanessa just says ooo bop bop ooo bop bop. I wish she would have had a bigger part in the song.
-

Yeah. I didn't vote for it though because I don't consider it a "Vanessa Carlton Song"... she didn't write it, doesn't play piano, hardly sings, etc.
-
I think it's C'est La Vie for me although I'm not crazy about Prince either and it's far and away my least favorite on BNN but there's just something about CLV that irks me. My least favorite part of a Vanessa song is by far the ghastly screaming in She Floats.

I fucking love it.

paint it black isn't a vc song. it's a rolling stones song.
-
i voted for paradise. it'sa little too moody.
-

She didn't write it, but it is on her album...well, that's obvious... but I would consider it a VC song because of that... primarily, it is a Stones song, first and foremost, but it is also a nessa song... and I prefer her version
-
the part of the song PARADISE when she says, "don't pretend to holdit in, just letit out." After a few seconds more of that section, she starts to incorperate werid moans into the song. The lyrics + that terrible sound just makes me dislike that part. Despite that road bump, the rest of the song rocks

That song really harkens back to her early days. If you listen to the version on her demo tape, you'll see that there never was much evolution done to it, so you're hearing some fairly raw Vanessa, when compared to most of the other songs on 'BnN' that have revised vocals and richer instrumentation.
-
Prince is odd. I never got into it. It is moody...like paradise. I listened to paradise when my hamster died, its a great song when your crying!
-
I thought I voted on this once, too... I don't like Afterglow very much.
-
im beginning to dislike ORDINARY DAY, maybe because i'm getting sick of it/
