That time could've been used so much more effectively...

yeah, i think there should have been a moderator next to her helping select the questions... she wasted a lot of time looking through the chat, and i don't even think she read the regular livestream chat or the fb chat....

thx =)
for graphics using pictures I prefer photoshop or - if you prefer corel -  paint shop pro , for vector illustration - using tablets - I prefer illustrator or corel draw. I do use corel x4, but the x3 and x4 came with a couple of bugs, like the screen going blank for a while when I use the Scrolling touchpad on my laptop,  so sometimes I think I should have kept my corel 12 :/

I got one of these for Xmas, and am trying to upgrade the bundled software (Corel Painter & Adobe Photoshop) whilst the exchange rate against the U.S. Dollar is at its best in 28 years.    Its making an upgrade to Corel Painter 11 & Adobe Creative Suite 5 a very realistic option for me   1900


Peace

intuos is one of the best ones! pair that with illustrator or photoshop and you're all set

We need to see if the VERIFIED ACCOUNT appears. If not, nothing is sure... Already following nessaholics

exactly, until we see that verified account mark we can't be sure of anything.

I read a couple of weeks ago that Stefhany is making 30,000USD per concert, a 2000% increase from what she used to make per gigs, since her youtube videos got more and more popular.


On a more positive note, Universal finally got her videos removed from youtube videos for copyright violation!
It only took what? a few months, a bunch of national tv appearences, live shows for them to take some kind of action...oh well, better late than never....

Checked today and it is still the same!

Her website not working, her myspace is not updated and is visually one big messy layout, her official forum the same, there is no twitter or blog or any other form of direct contact that she engages in. It's beyond unprofessional and let's face it, quite disrespectful to the fans .... honestly, not even sure why I still care...

I wonder why we never heard from those four people... Maybe they weren't fans and were actually just good enough?
Although I don't think Anastasia was the right one...
I have never seen that before. haha How cool.

actually the guy from duets registered at nessaholics at one point and posted here a couple times. you can find a topic on him on the musicians forum and find him here http://www.matthewjordan.com/

the others I never knew heard from them again....

^I don't know, but anyway it is pretty irresponsible to just leave that website like that with no sign, the forum with all those spam topics, and so and so on.... it all reflects on her image.

it's weird since the file http://www.vanessacarlton.com/vc_main.swf is still there and still on the source code of the index...I haven't looked that much into it, but I think it's more of a mistake then a website change. If they were changing the website I would expect to see at least a hiatus sign.

She's trying to imitate the choreography of "Single Ladies" 
HORRIBLE
Sometimes I am ashamed of my country.

I'm not ashamed of our country, I'm just ashamed of the mass culture and current midia. The fact that we have amazing musicians, incredible music history, amazing songwriters, great beats, dance all that  and then some girl with absolutely no talent gets more media attention then any of the other deserving talented artists.

The problem is that this girl, who only became a youtube sensation because 90% of the people who watched her videos made fun of her, is actually famous on the media now!

Then, her ATM parody or god knows what was that, started to become even more popular after two famous singers began playing that on their concerts.

Now this girl has been in national television shows singing this song. She is the typical "poor northeast girl with big dreams" with a stage mom who "writes" her songs. Overall the story seem to be moving to the masses and even to some celebrities who have shown support for her.

 However the last tv show she went happened to be on was one that Vanessa had performed years ago. So the host said she would not be allowed to play her famous parody because Vanessa did not release the song and then they went on to launch this whole  "Vanessa release the song" campaign, and now her increasing number of fans are doing petitions and all sorts of things hoping V. would release the song.  IMO the main problem seems that, now with her not releasing the song, Stefhany's fans and for the media covering this stupid thing seem to think of Vanessa as some snob, rude pop star....

Oh, and the car she mentions so much in the song, she actually got the car in a tv show last weekend and apparently the company wants her to have some sort of endorsement deal.....

SO YEAH, despite all this, PLEASE VANESSA, DO NOT RELEASE THE SONG!

Seriously, this whole thing is beyond ridiculous....and it's really annoying all of us brazilian nessaholics.

she (?) just wrote Had a wonderful dinner with some old friends. Playing a benefit show in New York tomorrow.

so maybe it is her, anyway, I still can't believe she would pick that ugly template though....

I doubt it is her managing that twitter account. Not only she is an "anti-tech-let's-write-letters-like the-old-days" kind of person  but the writing itself doesn't seem like hers ...and... I doubt she would go for the purple stars background design  . It's one of the ugliest templates on twitter ...
She would probably want to keep the same visual identity as the one on her website/album/myspace/etc...

I didn't stick 100% to your request, so don't use it if you don't like it...



it's gorgeous! :] i dig, v. much.

Nice work again Clarice! I now have a Wacom Bamboo fun to assist me, but need the extra memory of my upgrade to a Mac Mini to run Corel X4 and Corel Painter X... then SIGs like the one I've started on will be much easier to make and take less time. This should allow more time for experimenting with new ideas 

Peace
