Live Shows / 8/2 Spiedie Fest (review)
« on: August 03, 2008, 01:22:50 pm »
Hey all, so Vanessa's performance went really well last night. The only bad thing about it was that it was wayyyy too short. The singer performing before her was Ace Young, a guy from American Idol (I had no idea who he was until someone told me). He was good, but sang for an hour. Vanessa's piano was set up, but had to be tuned which took about 45 minutes!

Since things were running an hour and a half behind schedule her set list had to be cut short, and it was pretty short to begin with. The set was:

Nolita Fairytale
PYHOM
Ordinary Day
White Houses
Heroes & Thieves
Who's To Say
Pretty Baby
ATM
Home

I snatched the set list which also had More Than This on it, but that had to be cut. Anyway, I'm pleased to say that her vocals were great, and the only times she faulted were during White Houses on the first note, which always happens, and on Pretty Baby when she forgot the words.

Pretty Baby was actually one of my favorite songs she performed, and I'm not a huge fan of it. She performed with a guitarist, and instead of playing the piano she had him play the guitar while she sang. She told the audience that she prefers that version as opposed to the one on her album. She also had a cheat sheet on her piano since she hadn't sung it in so long, but she still forgot the words. Most of the people in the audience were singing along and filled in for her, haha.

She told the story of how she came up with the idea behind Heroes & Thieves. She said she was walking Viktor in Central Park and got caught in a horrible thunderstorm. She tried to open her umbrella but it turned inside out right away, and then she had to take off her shoes. She said it was a disaster, but sometimes disasters are good things, and that's what got her thinking about disasters and heroes & thieves.

She also looked great - a typical white lacey/boho top and skinny jeans with boots. I do have pictures but don't have anything to resize them with (they're huge) so if anyone can resize them for me, let me know and I'll email them to you. I also took some video clips but have no idea how to host them, so if someone could help me with that I'd be greatful!

There was a decent sized audience considering the weather (thunderstorms on and off all day) and it was all around a great performance, despite the fact it was way too short! No meet and greet afterwards, but because it was so late she wouldn't have been able to anyway (she finished just as the festival was closing). She got a great reaction from the crowd!

Completely Off-Topic / Hair Tips
« on: August 30, 2006, 06:04:42 am »
Since we can't seem to stop talking about hair tips in the Recent Pictures thread, I figured I would start them their own thread :-P

I think my biggest tip would be to ask around to find a good salon when wanting to get your hair cut. I really don't think anything can be worse than a wrong haircut that makes you look like Keith Partridge (which actually happened to me at the age of 8, causing complete strangers to call me "little boy" haha). But, even if you have to spend a little extra, getting someone who knows how to cut hair, especially if they're specialized in the kind of hair you have, can make all the difference.

[discussion]

one of my friends from college went to this concert. she went for stevie nicks, but she said that Vanessa was awesome :-) the only two songs she knew by her were WH and ATM, and the stories she told me that vanessa told were basically the same ones she's been telling at previous concerts (being mad at mtv for censoring WH, etc).

Live Shows / 3/2/2005: Rutgers University - New Brunswick, NJ (review)
« on: March 02, 2005, 08:08:03 pm »
so i just talked to my friend from the Ben Jelen boards, and it appears that Vanessa did a show earlier this evening at Rutgers! I'm not sure if this was posted about earlier, if it was my apologies.

According to Melissa, she played for about an hour and a half. No Meet and greet, but she did sign some autographs on her way out. Melissa said that it was a small show, but really good. She even overheard Vanessa saying to someone else in the crowd that she's going to do some dancing at future shows! *crosses fingers* I hope Vanessa was serious, that would be awesome!  :razz:

Edit:

After talking to another one of my friends that went, Vanessa played the following songs:

ATM
White Houses
Ordinary Day
Twilight
Wanted
C'est La Vie
The Wreckage
Half A Week Before the Winter
Papa
Swindler
She Floats
Sanfrancisco
Afterglow

she played more songs but those were the only one she could remember :-P There was no meet and greet, but she did come out later and sign stuff for people that waited around.

Oh wait... that exists.  It's called Feminism :dr evil:

FIGHT ME!!11!1!1!!1 :troll:


hahahahha. actually, feminism is expanding more towards the category of gender issues. while gender issues is basically a 10$ name for feminism, it can also include the male perspective. anytime you argue something through a feminist perspective, you have support your claims with evidence from the opposing side you can easily prove wrong. meaning that there has to be a counter to feminism, you can call it anti-feminism if you want to, but basically it all falls under gender issues.  [/random]
