General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Westlife ripp of from Vanessa song..

« on: November 10, 2007, 01:20:23 am »

..well I think its interesting how similar the piano riff of the new Westlifes song "Something right" is to Vanessa Carltons song "Come undone"..  
You can find the westlife song here.. :

Spring Street and The One are both produced by Linda Perry, right?

Loved This Time live, but it is just sooooooooooooo incredibly slow on the album version.

The one is produced by Stephan Jenkins..

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Re: Spring Street.....and the new album

« on: September 30, 2007, 02:51:18 am »

To be honest I'm not sure that this album IS Nessa's best work.. Like don't get angry at me its just my opinion, but the whole reason I loved Nessa in the first place was cause I love Classically based music, and I loved how she was so creative not just with words but rhythms and styles too. All her old stuff, especially the B-sides and many off Harmonium like Papa, were all amazing songs that were so original compared to ANYTHING else out there. She has to be the only performer who can play just her and the piano and still sound complete.
With Heroes and Thieves this isn't the case. It needs the back up vocals, the drums, the orchestral arrangements and the layers. I'm just not sure she has stuck to who she is, or whether she is sacrificing her style for the sake of commercial success? Thats not to say I think that's wrong, its all about different priorities. But If you guys listen to Other Linda Perry songs- many of Christina Aguilera's songs are written by her. You can hear the EXACT same construction techniques. Simple compositional techniques like not straying from a key, sticking to simple triad chords (major or minor) modulation, 1st-5th and 7th chord progressions etc. Very "modern" But NOT avante garde or original. Vanessa's new album is very beautiful in its honesty, and I think it will do well. But only because it's content is aimed for those with a limited musical palette. Notice how it's labelled as "Pop"?
I just feel that creatively, Vanessa showed SO much more variety of styles and ideas in her old stuff! Compare Red Ditty, Papa, A Thousand Miles, Unsung, Prince, Birdie, and Twilight. All very different from each other. But to me, The One, This Time, and Home are all very similar. Don't get me wrong I love her stuff! I just think maybe she gave up on her old stuff because people "didn't like it"
So sad....

Anyway just my piece ^_^ Hopefully no one takes offense to this. 8O
And this isn't a dig! I'm just disagreeing with those who think that this is her best album..

I couldnt agree more in what youre saying!!!

Can't we ask for an album to be released with all her unrealeased songs like ameriteen expecially Superhero!

All her non-released songs could be hits therefore they should all be released!

But I do love All I ask aswell

i agree.. "All is ask" is also a perfect piano song... and "best behavior" and
"morning sting"...theyre all good...

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / My review..

« on: September 29, 2007, 10:03:04 am »

FIRST WANNA SAY:
Why Oh Why
...isnt "All is well" on the album? (++++++   6/6 from me)
That song is my personal favorite and it couldve been a great first singel. REALLY!!! Oh well

1 Nolita Fairytale- An ok singel, but should never been the first singel. Never.
its just to simpel in a way... Not deep at all.. almost shallow lyrics. Average producton and average video.. Why cant they step it up a little for the first singel???
++++

2 Hands on me. I heard it live the first time, with just the piano, and i thought what a great song that could be with a full orchestra with lots of violins and cellos and everything. But NO!! instead we get a pop song that seems just fake from beginning to end. The violins are really boring and very different from her first two album. Its like they dont wanna try to make the violins interesting. Its not. it repeats itself in a very easy setting.  
WHO PRODUCED THIS SHIT??? REALLY??? The drums are also just as bad. AND NOW I WONDER...: is it all effects from machines?? the drums and violins?? because it doesnt sound real at all??
Really bad produced and i swear i couldve done better.
I miss some kind of "ordinary day" production.
++

3 Spring street. A good song. Original lyrics. But the beginning is really bad. A low tone for Vanessa doesnt always work.
But the song has a really good a well done production.
+++++

4 My best. Really good opening. "We scream and shout and try to make it last"..    And I love the simplicity of the song. Good production...BUT She ruined the song singing after chorus "like a promise guest, its like you never left, ...) That just horrible...
+++

5 Come undone. 40 sec into the song it starts, with a beautiful piano.
Weak chorus. But i like the fact that the piano takes over the last minute and a half. Nice to lisson to...
++++

6 The one. My favorite on the album. THIS IS THE NEXT SINGEL, IT MUST BE... it cant be any oher way...honestly... This song could be huge..A hit!
I can imagine Vanessa and Stevie making the video in a fancy old age style party where they sing infront of an overclass dinner audiens.... Anyways..
Great production. A beautiful opening where both of their voices is just great together. Really good bridge..
All of it is perfect.  Except Vanessa didnt write this song 6/6
++++++

7 Heroes and thieves. When i heard this song live first time i thought it sounded like a children fairytale song...Whatever that is... Its not a hit.
A good song. Good production.
++++

8 This time. The worst song of the record!!!! HoW the #""$ could she miss the rythm of the chorus, or is it the producers fault??? Shes actually out of tune some places and it sound like she couldne care less. When i first heard the song live i thought the song was good, and the bridge part was really could, with the piano, but that piano riff drowns in violins...
And the song is slowed down to absolut minimum. And thats bad. When the  the sceond chorus started i had already sung the song finished...
Really bad production!!!  1 out of 6
+

9 Fools like me. I really didnt expect a up tempo song, cause it sound a little bit more slow live. But its cool and i like it. Great lyrics. Ok production that again drown in violins.
+++

10 Home. One of the slow songs on the record. I love the lyrics. Original and creative.. The song is building up from piano in the beginning to everything at the end.. I really like this .. It should be the third singel!!
+++++

11 More then this. Finally, a good song that i didnt hear until i heard this album. It could also be a singel. Really good piano that got me hooked from the very beginning. One thing i would change is the piano in the secong verse, that should take off a little more... A perfect closure for this album.
+++++

All in all im a little bit dissappointed.
A lot of really bad production here... And thats something that wont grow on me, lke Harmonium did because it was produced perfect...
Funny that Vanessas dog ends this album with a couple of barks...!!!
