Aww... I hope I get to go; I couldn't go to the Roxy Theatre in July. Problem is that it's a school night... would this place have any problem with minors?

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Extra Tracks?

« on: October 04, 2007, 06:36:33 pm »

Japanese CDs are very expensive, which doesn't seem to make much sense because it seems to encourage them to buy imports rather than domestic.  But that's why Japanese CDs usually include bonus tracks as a way to encourage someone to buy them instead.  At least that's how it's been explained to me.

Erm, I'd figure it's because they have to ship it over the US or wherever you're purchasing it from. Maybe there's a tax... and there's shipping costs... that sort of thing?

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / Is this legit?

I checked one of the links, but didn't go very far. If it is real, it's a really annoying method of downloading (each song individually); but if it is real, you don't want to provide a link, mainly because it's illegal and it'd get taken down anyway by the mods.

Completely Off-Topic / I'm going to buy a violin

« on: October 01, 2007, 03:22:08 pm »

Yeah, if you've played guitar (or any instrument), you'll know the notes and stuff on the violin pretty easily... but the violin is ridiculously hard =/

Is there a good quality version of "Carnival?" I downloaded it from someone's site... but I was hoping for an even better quality.

Completely Off-Topic / New iPods

« on: September 05, 2007, 03:28:39 pm »

Well Apple announced their new iPods today... a color refresh on the Shuffle, a new video-playing Nano (which has been dubbed the Fatty in the tech community), a refresh of the video iPod (now dubbed the iPod Classic, but it has a new interface and features 80GB or 160GB), and the iPod Touch (basically the iPhone without the phone features, speakers, or the mail application, and has a 8GB and 16GB models).

The iPhone (both models) have dropped $200 in price ($299 for the 4GB, $399 for the 8GB)...

Anyone interested in buying them? I wish I had the money for an iPod Touch =/

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Re-release of ATM

« on: September 02, 2007, 01:06:26 pm »

Vanessa is a multi-platinum selling, three time grammy nominated musician who's been in the industry for five years now & is about to release her third studio album.

I guess being a "one hit wonder" can't be all that bad, can it?

It's pretty bad considering her last album completely flopped and her next album is on the same route.

You can have whatever opinion you want, but do you really have to voice it so negatively?  The last thing we need to do as Nessaholics is expect the least for her career; we're here to support her.

Okay, you started this topic to talk about her re-releasing ATM.  Then you called her a one-hit wonder.  So you want her to re-release the track that made her a one-hit wonder?  How does that make any sense?

Being supportive and being realistic are completely different things. Of course I HOPE this album is a hit for Vanessa. But after her last album flopping and her being out of the spotlight for the past two years I honestly don't see that happening.

Being supportive ISN'T saying on a fan message board "H&T is gonna flop."  Please keep stuff like that to yourself, unless you can really back it up with something other than "Harmonium flopped". Negativity really is NOT necessary, or helpful.  Instead of talking about how it's going to flop, go out and try to help promote it however you can as a fan.

You didn't answer the one-hit wonder question, btw.

Quite frankly I don't have time to go out and "promote" a record. If people like it, they'll buy it. Me or 200 or 1,000 people aren't gonna make a difference.

Or they'll download it; records just aren't selling like they used to.

In any case, Harmonium flopped sales-wise because of poor marketing and weak promotion by her label. Is it really her fault? I thought "Private Radio" was a much better choice for a first single.

You can't exactly say Heroes & Thieves is on its way to flopping yet... Gotti won't simply give up on V so easily. He's put too much time and effort into her for her to fail.

Re-release of ATM = popularity of H&T? I don't see the logic in that.

Re-releasing ATM would let people remember Vanessa, but it won't fully entice them to go learn about her other music. It also will not notify them of Heroes and Thieves, so I don't see where you're coming from.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Vote For Nolita Fairytale on VH1 Vspot top 20!

« on: September 02, 2007, 08:17:02 am »

Maybe at the end, they look at what IP addresses the votes are coming from? Maybe multiple votes from 1 IP address are discarded. Hence, us voting millions of times wouldn't help much. I dunno, just a thought.
