I saw this.
I don't know what's worse - the fact she's so low or the fact it's the highest she's been on any chart since 2002.

It's not a bad thing to be a one hit wonder. Some artists are able to live off of that 'one' song for quite sometime..and I think V is one of those artists...I felt weird posting this as a thread...but I honestly don't think it's a bad thing...I hear ATM ALLLLLLL THEE TIMEEEE. So it's better than not hearing it at all! I have to say, it has grown to become one of my least favorite V songs(I think V's as well) but it's also a good thing that she had that song.....we all discovered her because of it...I like to think that some of us would have discovered her down the line anyway..but hey ATM is what got my attention..here we are almost 8 years later supporting a great musician...I'm just sooo lost and confused as too why she isn't hands-on AT ALL when it comes to a huge chunk of her career? She should be updating fans more often..people lose interest. I don't care that shes considered a 'one hit wonder' by anyone(i don't think she cares either)....I just want new music....and more updates? haha is that too much too ask for? It's kind of a low-blow when she pops up right before an album is coming out to say "hey" aka "buy my record".

You're right :)

Well, we don't know why she does it like that. I mean her last album was titled, "Heroes and Thieves" with a bunch of them knocking at her door and I guess her being confused for a long time. Then her main page of the official site had the forums hidden in between trees in a dark place with spooky eyes peering out. That could point to the problem, but that is just me (and I have a way of over-rationalizing.)
There are even people who run this board that I wouldn't call my favorite people in the world (that is an understatement.)
but heh --- but I think she's starting to make an effort, who knows. It's demoralizing but maybe we should just be the cool fans we have always been and post stuff to the board so other people can see all the things going on in her career and what devoted fans she has.
-
I agree, there's nothing terribly wrong with being a one hit wonder. It means everyone knows her, at least, for that one song. I just hope she keeps making music-- whether it becomes popular or not. I'm actually kind of glad that she's so low on the list, because that means she stands a better chance of coming back!
-
Yeah, better to be considered a "one hit wonder" by some than to have no success at all. Of course, all her fans know that she's so much more than just ATM.
I agree I think it's good that she's so far down on the list. That means her second single did better than the people who are higher up. And damn, in my mind I thought that OD did much better on the charts than 30! It deserved to be #1.
On a note unrelated to V, I hated that "Bad Day" song! So overplayed! I love the cheesy one-liners in this article too LOL.
-
Yeah, the bad day song is really hard too listen to know..but im not gonna lie, i still like mambo number 5! haha
-
What about Ordinary Day? That was a hit.
Technically, she's a two-hit wonder. So there, list-making people.
-
She will get on top again, don't worry. This album she's composing is great, no doubt. I'm sure we'll have the pleasure of hearing her music again on the radios very soon ;D
-
Although I'd like that too be true...I don't really see it happening...I just don't...and thats not necessarily a bad thing.
-
I think her being perceived as just another one-hit (or two-hit) wonder is a challenge to us Nessaholics. Promote, promote, promote! ;D
-
She isn't a one or two hit wonder, she is a awesome chick that writes good, original music. Good and original enough to send a song that some people said sounded like a piano recital, into the top ten, out of apparently nowhere.
You have to have skillz to fight booty videos. ;) A little duct tape helps too. Just ask Macguyver, he knows.
-
I agree with the one who said "We should just be good fans and support her no matter what"
Also I don't think it's bad that she isn't played about and all over, I am really actually glad she's not "popular" anymore.

I just think it's awful she's underrated so badly considering the quality & awesomeness of her music.
Still, I guess it's a good thing otherwise she could end up doing what Regina Spektor seems to be doing ><
-
I'm always going to support Vannessa...I've loved her music/words/mind for nearly 8 years!! I honestly couldn't give a shit if her songs are played on the radio and tv or not....most artists I support are not... But it's nearly impossible to give a shit or have any kind of motivation to promote(as someone mentioned below) when the artist herself doesn't show any kind of interest into her dying fanclub. I don't expect her to pop-up every day, or every week...not even every month...but damn, maybe a couple times a year? I think online-presences'(myspace,fanclubs,twitter,etc) can do wonders for artists of V's caliber. Just wish she'd take advantage of them more and more often. All constructive criticism....

That's it, just one big creepy smile?
It's partly a reference to the music video "Pretty Baby," you know.
-
After seeing THAT version of the music video back then, Pretty Baby has never been the same for me haha

OH! That's the only version I've ever seen! I thought it was maybe something more I don't know, weird.
I love that video!
-
When it originally aired on MTV they had to cut out the end because they thought it was too "controversial." Silly, I know.
I love that video too!

Haha. I know. That ending is great. The best part of the video. I don't know why they cut it!
Hahha.

Didn't the censor white houses as well? the blood lyric? STUPID! I couldn't tell you the last time I even watched T.V..but I do remember seeing tons of booty shaking and camel toe shaking n shit....but the word 'blood' in a beatufiuly written MASTERPIECE...ugh makes me mad....White Houses is probably Vanessa's best song. Just my opinion...and it's weird..cause I usually tend to not like singles...but that song is sooo moving too me.
ps: its so weird watching ANY video from the bnn era....i don't know why..i feel like it's not even her haha

I think it's because the BNN era was her starting out. Might be because she hadn't grown as an artist yet at the time. Of course, eventually, her artistic growth produced this wonderful artist we all know and love!

WOW! Yeah, hypocritical! I hate MTV, beautiful music is stifled and crap is held high.
I love BNN era videos, I think it's because it's the time period that drew me to her!
-
I think that is the next question someone should ask her, "Do you presently have a roll of duct tape at your house?"
