General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Re: Is Vanessa recording a covers album?

« on: March 16, 2018, 02:40:07 pm »

You were on to something Maag! Vanessa just revealed on Twitter that she's releasing a new cover each month starting next week for the next 6 months. The Robyn snippet sounds amazing! I can't wait. Hope this is some kind of build up to a new era and full LP.

please let us know, i'm courious about that too.

Okay, just had a listen at the european version and it is absolutely the same. The sequencing and the songs are exactly like on the US version so sadly no "Nothing where something used to be" remix on it

You mean on the european release?? I bought it recently, it has the logo from Caroline records on it but the tracklist doesn't add the remix. Must give it a listen to see if the remix replaced the original album version. Will get back to you!

The setlist was rather short. She did all of Liberman with the exception of Ascension (has she ever performed it??) and Carousel, Hear the Bells and The Marching Line (which was very emotional since she dedicated it to those who died or lost someone in the Paris and Brussels attack). I was surprised she didnt do an encore and sing ATM. This seemed to disappoint some people who probably know her only for that song. I didnt watch any live recordings from that tour so I was very pleased to see that she's touring with Skye Steel!

The Brussels show was a little different because it was a festival and they only had one hour. That's why she ended up removing ATM and Tall Tales For Spring (if I remember correctly). She also shortened some of her intro stories.

It's the only show where she didn't stick around to sign stuff because, again, it was a festival and things weren't set up the way they are at her "regular" shows on this tour. I got to talk to her tour manager (really nice guy btw!) before the show and he told me she wasn't probably gonna stay afterwards which ended up being true.

Sorry you didn't get to meet her! 

Oh that's a bit sad. I travelled from Switzerland and picked Brussels over Paris because it was on a weekend and before a national holiday. If I hear the show in Paris was 2 hours long I'm gonna be devastated haha. But still... I got to see Vanessa perform live and that is amazing!

Glad you had a good time! Disappointing to hear she went to Europe to perform for the first time in what 14 years? and didn't meet people after the show. So happy you got to see her!

Thanks

Just got home from Brussels. The show was amazing, I can't believe I finally got to see Vanessa Carlton. Got there early, just to see where the venue was and by chance Vanessa was doing soundcheck at that time. I got to hear (but not see) Vanessa sing "Get Good" (which she didnt perform at the actual show) and Take it easy and Blue Pool. At some point I unexpectedly saw her just a few feets away from me, she didnt do eye contact and was talking to someone so I did not disturb her. That was a bit heartbreaking haha. I was all ready with my Liberman copy and a pen

After the show, I chatted a bit with the nice guy at the merch table. He said that Vanessa was very tired and went straight back to her hotel. He did however ask for my e-mail and said he would hand it to Vanessa. I'm not gonna get my hopes up but that was a very nice gesture! In case you're reading this merch table guy : thank you

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / V's thoughts and pictures about perfect bodies

« on: March 17, 2016, 01:30:06 pm »

Don't know if V's instagram pictures and thoughts about perfect pictures on social media made the news in the US but it got a little attention in Switzerland in a popular free journal. Here's the link if anyone's interested : http://www.20min.ch/ro/entertainment/people/story/Elle-ne-trichera-pas-sur-son-apparence-31796451

Can't believe that after being a fan since 2002 I'm finally able to say those words : I'm going to my first V show!

I don't actually live in Belgium but I'm travelling from Switzerland since it's on a weekend and the following monday is a national holiday. Hope to see some of you guys over there! Ca serait chouette

J'ai tellement mais tellement envie d'y aller mais je suis en Suisse... Mais comme ça fait un moment (depuis 2002 approximativement) que j'attends de voir Vanessa en concert je risque d'organiser qqchose... Là j'hésite entre Paris et Bruxelles, j'espère vraiment que ça va être faisable!!!!!!

Super heureux pour toi si t'es de Paris en tout cas

That sucks to hear. It deserves better.

It definitely does deserve better sales wise, but at least it's getting excellent reviews. And anyways, huge sales doesn't seem to be Vanessa's goal. Saw this exchange on Twitter the other day...

LOL you didn't need to hide that person's (your?) username. all it takes is to go on V's twitter to see it haha

No, it's not mine lol. I just blurred it out because I was posting it somewhere where the OP hadn't agreeded to his tweets being posted.

Haha okay

Anyways, I'm glad it wasn't made to go mainstream. However I do think "Operator" could have a fair chance to be played on radio and become a minor hit.
