General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / V & Stephan dissed alongside weird Michelle Branch news

« on: January 10, 2004, 06:34:14 pm »

Old-fashioned romance seems to be coming back into fashion, judging by the chivalrous behavior of a fan who worked his way to the front of a Michelle Branch press conference in Hong Kong earlier this week to present her with an impressively sized engagement ring -- and a glance at a somewhat less impressively proportioned portion of the marital contract. The unidentified gent dropped his trousers midway through his marriage proposal, leaving Branch stunned enough to walk out before taking questions from the press. While that might've taken the wind out of Michelle's sails for a night, she can console herself by remembering that, unlike Vanessa Carlton, she doesn't have to go home to Stephan Jenkins.

 :roll:

:sighs: I hate Rolling Stone sometimes.

That's pretty hilarious about the guy dropping trou in front of Michelle Branch though. HAHA!

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Vanessa at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

Don't know if this has been posted yet but I was looking through an old InStyle magazine from Sept 2003 and there's a picture of Vanessa at BCBG Max Azria, she's wearing a light gray herringbone vest, w/ midriff showing, a brown tilted fedora and jeans with the pointy shoes. She's standing with her hands on her hips and not really smiling. :?

It also says this: "Taking in her second show of the day, Vanessa Carlton was feeling the fashion-world peer pressure. "It's very stressful. I don't know how other people can get different outfits together for every show," she said. "It's just not going to happen for me. I ended up wearing a shirt that I slept in."

And I found this tidbit on the ExtraTV site: And few beauties could resist ribbing TV's Charlie about not being picked on the “Bachelorette!” Vanessa Carlton said to him, "Now you can score any chick you want!”

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Does anybody know...

« on: January 07, 2004, 12:53:38 am »

where I can find C'est la Vie on mp3?

I'm trying to burn a cd of her unreleased songs and live stuff. I only have the video clip of C'est la Vie (found on here) and I dunno if only the audio'll transfer onto CD.

um, and speaking of unreleased songs and live stuff, does anyone know where I can find some of that flavor?

I haven't heard:
Birdie
San Francisco
All I Ask

or, basically a whole live show of hers. I've downloaded a show but it won't play for me somehow. Help!, My computer's incompetent. :cry:

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Pomegranates

« on: January 07, 2004, 12:48:52 am »

You know what I find funny?  At a time other artists are taking off their clothes, intentionally or unintentionally, VC is relating herself with something probably just as powerful: food.  For the life of me if I ever hear or see toffutti cream cheese I could be in a coma and in the back of my mind there would be a connection made.  Maybe she should be the national spokeswoman for pomegranites. lol

tylor

I just love how you said that.  Nice point, and I wholeheartedly agree about the toffutti cream cheese thing.

Hey, is it spelled pomegranites or pomegranates?? lol

once i was at the store with my mom and i made her buy me one so i could try them bc i knew VC loved them, but then i forgot about it and it got rotten  :roll:
so i never got to try it

lol :lol:

i think V likes them because you really have to pick at 'em and use your fingers. it's uh, a very interactive fruit.

i'm eating one now and my fingers are completely stained... probably not good for the keys, letting the juice sop down. but oh well...

I saw the old Stephan Jenkins MTV Cribs tonight, and he mentioned Vanessa a few times... First he was like, "My girlfriend [flashes to a clip of ATM video] lives out of a suitcase [hangs head in shame], and, that's where she lives [points to a corner where a suitcase overflowing with clothes and a laptop stacked on top is]... She plays the piano, ya know." He's got a really cute lisp when he says "girlfriend". Or when he talks period! (If you couldnt tell- I REAAALLY like him.)

Then the next mention is when he's showing us his fridge and he's like: "My girlfriend (with the lisp!), she eats pomegranates, and when I say that I really mean, she eats them obsessively."

Oh yeah, he also had a VC poster framed up in his 'office'. AND he put on a red unicorn VC beanie near the end. Awh. He really does promote her a lot doesn't he?

My point, and title, is that after I found out about the pomegranate thing I had to have one! Have you guys ever found yourselves buying or trying a certain drink/food that you know your favorite band/artist likes?

I do it all the time.. :oops: and was just wondering if any of yall do too.  :?:

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Re: Vanessa Carlton Shows Sweetness and Sting

« on: January 02, 2004, 08:56:43 pm »

Taken from http://www.houstonchronicle.com:

Critics and the public seem mesmerized by singer-songwriter sirens hammering on pianos and creating epic melodies and angst-heavy lyrics to lure men to desirable doom.

Vanessa Carlton revels in that mode more than a little. The singer-pianist's blues and funk are rich and dark (Unsung, Prince). Sometimes there's too much sugar in her recipes, but there's nothing saccharine (or subtle) about her sinewy voice, the orchestral frenzy of her arrangements or the rhythmic whirlwind she conjures.

This emotional urban sandstorm, honed on Ordinary Day to Laura Nyro-like perfection, elevates the stark commentary of Sway and Wanted. Those complex classical-soul mélanges drip with piano pomp and melodramatic circumstance.

Grade: B


bah, only a B.

ew. I'm so ashamed to be from Houston at this point. The writing in that article was just AWFUL... Take that first run on sentence for example, read it out loud.  :oops: So bad. with all the cliches and friggin.. food references. was the writer hungry or what? "rich and dark" "sugar in her recipes" makes me crave some coffee and a cinnamon roll. :roll: No wonder we've been voted 2nd Fattest US City this year.  I wouldn't take it to heart.

:arrow: LOL, and i want a new username already. pfft, VCfosheezy. what was I thinking?!  :?  sooo corny!

anywho, my name is Nikki and I've been lurking around these boards for the past 2 months or so. I'm a new fan, and I can't stop listening to my BNN cd! Every night, with the headphones I tell you. I'm just as anxious as ya'll are for the new record.  

I got curious about Vanessa after I found out that she's dating "Old Man Jenkins"  :razz: , who I just LOVE... and yeah, I was just discovering him and 3eb at the time too. That was about 3 months ago. I think they make a pretty perfect match... especially after looking at those pics of them at the Marc Jacobs show during Fashion week. they look so happy together!

My favorite songs from her at the mo' are Ordinary Day, Rinse and C'est la Vie. Haven't heard a whole lot of the unreleased/old songs yet, like Birdie and All I Ask, but I will soon.

Hrmm, what else?

That's all for now.  Just happy to be a nessaholic!

Well although that would be cool I think Vanessa should duet with Delta Goodrem my two fav artists

Delta Who?


if theres going to be a duet on the CD its probally gonna be stephan jenkins :roll:

hehe  :razz: that would be a good thing, i think. what's up with that? do yall not approve of them? becuz' i do. anyway, stephan was once asked if they'd do a duet and he said, "no. 3rd album."  

i'm new to the board, btw. HELLO all!!

and her covering "dream on" would just be really, really odd. especially since eminem sampled it... overkill, i say.
