General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Re: Meet and greets

« on: November 16, 2015, 07:46:15 pm »

I met her a few weeks ago. I crossed the Atlantic especially to see and meet her. It was in Louisville. I was smoking outside after the concert and she came at that moment. I was stressed to meet her (at last) so I drank too much beforehand.  When I saw her walking, I prostrated myself before her !  She smiled at me and became closer. I explained to her why I was here and how much I love her. My English was really confused but she understood the general idea.
I was surprised to see a very nice and open-minded girl.

I met other famous people but I don’t think you know them. Véronique Sanson, Amélie Nothomb…

OMG. How was Amélie Nothomb? Ça a dut être très intéressant...

That sucks to hear. It deserves better.

It definitely does deserve better sales wise, but at least it's getting excellent reviews. And anyways, huge sales doesn't seem to be Vanessa's goal. Saw this exchange on Twitter the other day...

LOL you didn't need to hide that person's (your?) username. all it takes is to go on V's twitter to see it haha

No, it's not mine lol. I just blurred it out because I was posting it somewhere where the OP hadn't agreeded to his tweets being posted.

Haha okay

Anyways, I'm glad it wasn't made to go mainstream. However I do think "Operator" could have a fair chance to be played on radio and become a minor hit.

True! Operator has the potential to get some major airplay.

I'm not sure how that stuff works, though. Would her label have to send it to radio stations?

So excited about the shirt! I love the design.

Probably going to get a shirt and a hoodie at the Toronto show :'). Do you remember if it has a zipper?

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.

Glad you brought this up, it's important. However, my guess is that she didn't know. Personally, I didn't know it was a slur until I read your comment and I Googled it. I mean, obviously I know about the oppression Romani people suffer in Europe, but in North America(as far as I know), the word 'gypsy' doesn't have the same negative connotation that it has in Europe... yet.

Of course the album has to become available when I'm in a place where I'm almost never left alone and the wifi is the woooorrrrrssst. Being the dedicated Nessaholic that I am though, I didn't give up and I was finally able to listen to the album last night.

Liberman is a freaking masterpiece. I honestly can't decide if it tops Rabbits or not, but they're both pretty different so I'm not sure I can really compare my love for both of them. Vanessa definitely succeeded in creating the 'dream-like' sound that she was talking about. The album is so beautiful and peaceful and smooth and dreamy and oh-so lovely.

My thoughts on each song(sorry - I had to gush about this album SOMEWHERE):

Take it Easy: Although the live version will always have a super special place in my heart(and I still listen to it from time to time), the studio version has really grown on me and I adore it. A great choice for the first track.

Willows: Lovely.

House of Seven Swords: Wowowoow. Magic. Vanessa sounds like an angel on this track. Also, it's really interesting to see how much the sound has evolved from the demo(which I also adore - it's so trippy).

Operator: I'm so happy that this track ended up on the record! Absolutely in love with this song.

Blue Pool: Lush and dreamy. Love the piano on this one.

Nothing Where Something Used To Be: I know some people are unhappy with the studio version, but I'm in love with it.

Matter of Time: Wasn't the biggest fan of the live version, but I'm very impressed with the studio version. It's going to win me over in a few listens.

Unlock the Lock: I adore this track. I love the piano melodies.

River: I have to admit that I wasn't the biggest fan of the live version, but the album version is great!

Ascension: Just like In the End, I'm going to have to listen to this one a few times before my appreciation for it really grows.

The wait for Liberman was so worth it. I'm so happy with the result! I really can't wait to take long walks with this album.
