Wow, such a hard question, are we talking underrated by the general public/media or by her fans?

If its the former, then honestly all of her songs including A Thousand Miles which really was one of the best pop songs of the 00's but I never hear it on radio in Ireland/UK.

If its by her fans then I think Home, its such a beautiful song with beautiful meaning, fantastic melody and great outro.

But then again you have Unsung, Sway, Paradise etc etc etc .... far too hard to pin it down to one

Would love to make the trip from Ireland and would do if I did not have other commitments at the moment.

Hopefully we will see it on youtube though.

When I was rediscovering Vanessa, All Is Well was one of the first tracks I came across on youtube and she won me over immediately with this performance  

Really love her talks before each song

This is my absolute favourite one too I listen to it way more than the studio recording. Also, this one of More Than This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4dNkN_m9C4 is perfect for me.

Love that one of More Than This, have been looking at that recently, that whole concert looked brilliant.

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / Re: Spring Street - What do you think?

« on: December 29, 2010, 03:36:49 pm »

I guess I'm the oddball in this thread, but I loved Spring Street the first time I heard it. I think it was the first song on H&T that I fell in love with.

Definitely not, I loved it the first time I heard it also

Polls / Re: What delicious alcoholic beverage do you prefer?

« on: December 28, 2010, 10:46:57 am »

As I have got older I only drink alcohol that I like the taste of. So for me I love bitter, bitter is a very English type of beer, also known as real ale, whenever I'm in London I love having a bitter called London Pride. It is available in Ireland in bottles but it is much nicer in a pub from the pump.

Also love red wine, Shiraz, Chianti and Merlot

Yeah, an European ! Welcome I enjoyed your story. What other artists are you listening to ?

Thank you.

I'm also a big fan of Gary Barlows (Take That) songwriting, more a fan of him rather than Take That,  again a songwriter who writes at the piano, have loved the stuff he has written for himself and the group, and the songs he has written for others.

Don't really have any other favorites, though I do like Avril Lavigne, especially her first album.

Listening to some Coldplay at the moment, also love Snow Patrols Chasing Cars is a top song.

Find this quite a sad song but I love it  A very laid back melody, lyrically definitely a song that you can very much relate to as you get older, and find yourself thinking back to your younger days.
