General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / H&T a flop?

« on: August 06, 2008, 10:32:23 pm »

It annoys the hell out of me that she is not more popular. Unfortunately, Heroes and Thieves was a flop. I have a few ideas for what she can do in the future. I think the goal should be to get to a point where she can afford to release cds every few years. Possible venues in order to do this
1. Pursue using her music or at least a few songs as actual soundtrack music-did they even try with this last cd??
2. Market to the correct audience-I honestly do not get why her labels keep on trying to push her for a younger pop audience. Her music is made for an Ac/Hot Ac/Triple A crowd. Why fight it?
3. Think about writing songs for other people. All she needs is a song or two that she had a hand in writing to blow up or hell, even make it onto a major artist's cd and she could fund or help fund many, many cds from that.
I am so afraid that eventually she will not make another cd. I have seen artists fade into total obscurity before for financial or just fed up with it reasons and I would hate to see that happen to her so much. All she needs to do is find a way to keep funds moving in and have the right song at the right moment promoted the right way. The Kohls thing is good-I am hoping whatever her involvement is paid off for her.

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / Nolita Fairytale-First single??

« on: June 01, 2007, 04:11:08 pm »

The clip is sure interesting! Its difficult for me to tell how it will build because it sounds chopped at a weird time, but I like it and I do think it sounds like John Mayer's more bluesy side.
I cannot believe its finally happening you guys!!!!

I changed the title so maybe people will notice more now he he.

That site lists upcoming singles so it looks like it may be the first single. But its weird because I always assumed it would be a song we had at least heard the title of and that Vanessa herself would blog something. I wonder if its a mistake?

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Vanessa Carlton 3rd album

« on: July 18, 2006, 10:06:25 pm »

I dont think the problem is finishing the album. I am more worried about her record label lacking faith in her.
An artist can have a completed album and have to sit on it for awhile because the record label either doesnt have faith in it or the artist or is unwilling/unable to promote it properly.
I am praying her record label hasnt given up on her because that would be a bad situation.

I didnt see this discussed anywhere else-please direct me to it if it has been. A fellow fan just told me they are hearing at least one Nessa song on Promosquad now, including This Time. Does anyone have it recorded or know if this means they are testing for a first single?!
(Sorry, Im excited, Vanessa is a musical goddess to me)

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Weird article....

« on: March 11, 2006, 11:01:30 pm »

Oh good god. I see people constantly flirting with everyone-young, old, straight, homosexual, taken, married, etc....
That doesnt mean there is something wrong with our society. Innocent flirting is nothing. I think anyone who thinks otherwise is either incredibly rigid or insecure.
Innocent or light flirting is very different from heavy flirting or serious flirting of course.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / 2nd single?

« on: January 11, 2005, 09:16:30 am »

Just trying to be realistic. The second single better be a hell of a surprise hit. Her label isnt behind her at all anymore. And thats the truth...

Every artist says that...but every artist also wants to do well so they can continue making music on this level.

I dont know if SHE has given up...but she is in a very, very tough position right now. She has entered the "dark times" of a musician. Im hoping she deals with it well.
