Saying something is "musical" is a compliment. It doesn't necessarily mean "A musical". I was at a mastering session recently and said "that compressor is so dang musical", and I meant that the thing sounded good, and added to the sound we were looking for. Actually, there are only a few musicals I like.
I think things are being read into Vanessa's statement. Maybe she feels that the people she is with now get her kind of music, but who knows? Hey, I hope she got that gig. More bucks for her!
