I don't know where to post this. But what do you guys make of the comment Irv Gotti left on her instagram post about taking a break from/ using less social media? I am intrigued.

"irvgotti187@vanessacarltonactual I actually knew this was gonna happen. As I know my V too well. So please before she disappears. Please. Someone. Management. Record Label. Someone. If not her. Get in touch with me. I have ideas and business to do with my V. This is real. I need to connect with her. She will love the ideas that I have for her. Trust me. And yes. This is Irv Gotti. And yes. Heroes and Thieves came out on my Murder Inc label. And yes. I'm Vee's GANESH! And Yes. I love and respect her and think she is a genius with the pen and that piano. And Yes. I will never stop fighting for her cause of the genuine love that I have for her. So please. I know someone is reading this. DM with her IG account so I will see it please. And get to talk to her. ❤️❤️❤️"

I won a meet and greet with her at her Toronto show this Wednesday, so I will let you know.

I am beyond excited about it!

I've met other celebrities as well, and they have all been super nice. I've never had an issue with a 'sbobby' celebrity, although I've never met any A-lister.

Yes, everyone please let me know what the meet and greets are like!

Has anyone had a meet and greet with Vanessa or any other artist before? What are they generally like?

Does anyone else think it is odd that Vanessa used the racial slur "g****" in River?

I understand it that does not have the same weight in the USA as it does in Europe, but it is still a racial slur. I find it really odd. Like does she actually just not know?

I really like River, but every time I hear that lyric I cringe.

I was wondering if anyone would bring this up. Some people had the same conversation when Lady Gaga came out with a song called "Gypsy" in 2013. You're right, that word doesn't have nearly the weight of other slurs in the US; there aren't nearly as many people here who are bothered by it as who are bothered by the N-word, the F-word, etc. I didn't even know it was a slur until that song came out. I'm sure neither artist meant harm by it (but I understand that's scant comfort).

Yeah, I definitely don't think she meant harm by it. I won't hold it against her. I just hope other people won't catch on to it and make a stink. It is unfortunate that the word is forever immortalized in the studio recording though.

Live, she could easily replace it with some other word if/when she realizes the negative connotations. Maybe "nomad" or something, and it would convey the meaning (I think) she is getting at. The studio version is forever though, which is why I think it is weird no one said anything to her before it got released. I guess both of you that replied are right, and that a lot of people just don't know.

Yeah I'm really glad we have the living room session of NWSUTB. It's probably my favorite thing on the album so far. So so good. The studio version is growing on my now, though. The outro kinda sounds to me like Animal Collective's "Winter Love" or something.

Now I can't wait to hear it. Winters Love is one of my favorite songs!

What songs are going to be on the Blue Pool EP?

In the YouTube video description of "Nothing Where Something Used To Be" on her official YouTube it reads:

" 'Nothing Where Something Used To Be' (Live Living Room Session) appears on the Blue Pool EP that will be released in North America on July 24th. The full length album (that will contain all the songs on the Blue Pool EP), Liberman, will be released in late October.

So this means whatever songs are on the EP will also be one the album. So we will have 2 album songs: "Blue Pool" and ____(not sure what the other song is).
AND we will have 2 live songs of which we will get studio recordings of on Liberman. Those will be "Noting Where Something Used To Be" and ____ (Not sure what the other song is).

Someone please tell me what the other songs are!
