i wouldn't say she's indie either, sorry.

i thought she had gone down that route when i heard the snippet of "nolita fairytale" though.

i'd say she was more pop-rock ish...

Yeah shes not indie I don't think very much. Be Not Nobody and Harmonium are sometimes referred to as rock on some music places and stuff shes like pop rock.

INDIE IS NOT A STYLE OF MUSIC!!!!!!


you're both wrong.

She's a classically trained pianist/singer songwriter.

That's probably the best way to put it.

but on her albums she doesn't play classical music. she's piano pop/rock, in my opinion.

There are a few things wrong. Firstly, Indie isn't a genre. That's just bullshit. She plays pop music. Whether you like it or not, get over it.

Now that  Ive cooled down a little and i started to actually think about it....I AGREE WITH U 100% !!! :D :lol: :lol:

He said she's a band...and i was like NO!!!!
She's a solo piano artist...
and he goes NO SHES ROCK!

being a band doesn't have anything to do with rock...right?
And on her myspace she is described as jazz/pop/rock i think

but i think i just wanted to prove him wrong  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:  :razz:  :razz:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :D

that's my opinion

You can call it how ever you hear it, but its NOT indie..
I think its pop-rock.

the point is irrelevant. she's signed by a label. therefore, she's not indie. indie isn't a style.. it's a fact - are you on an independent label? are you signed at all? if that's true, you're indie. if you're signed to a major label, you're certainly not indie. indie is short for independent.

Yes, Indie is not a style of music, it's a type of a musician related to the recording label, whether is major label or indie label and Vanessa is a major label artist.
I think her genre is mostly pop or classical pop...

When I put Heroes and Theives in my computer it's listed as General Pop, Harmonium was Alternative and I can't remember what Be Not Nobody Was but I think it was pop rock.

What songs of Vanessa do you normally play for your boyfriend? He may just have heard a few of her more hard songs.

itunes either lists her as pop or rock.

classical pop...


but that's not true either. there's really no such thing. just because she's classically trained in piano does not mean that her style is anywhere near classical. that doesn't even make much sense. she's pop, maybe pop/rock, or even alternative, and that's giving her a lot of credit (for harmonium).

Post by: musician on February 11, 2008, 08:21:08 pm
Ya, I'm not sure about the classical thing tho...She sounds pop and alternative could be the best put for her too...

He thought her new songs on H&T were rock......
And to me...that is the farthest from 'rock' that Vanessa could get...
 And keep in mind that for my ex-boyfriend...rock is like Metalica, Led Zeplin, and AC/DC....so yeah...thats why i was arguing with him... LOL

But if its alt. rock or pop rock then i would kinda agree...especially for BNN and Harmonium... :razz: :)
But I think that H&T has more of a classical sound to it...so maybe classical pop if theres any such thing...LOL! :lol: :D

I've never thought of her as rock...more like orchestra pop. if there is such a thing. ha

So i say somthing are you agreeing all im sayingn is shes not indie... But i dont see why anybody cares.

punctuation would be nice.. that was hard to understand.

i was agreeing with you, but the point is there's no debate; it's a fact that she's signed by a major label and therefore, not indie.

i don't know why anyone cares either, but alas, there's a thread about this.

why does this involve so many punctuation marks?
