just to clarify as well... I was joking when I said lets go cuss them out. Like I said, after the initial anger wore off, I'm reasonable enough to understand that people have different opinions. I was angered by someone saying she is a bitch. I was angered when people put down all three of her albums because I feel they are equally wonderful, but in their own unique ways. Someone said she has shown no growth, which is BULL honkey if you ask me. But that's just the thing, like you said eclv, we all have our own opinions, I just don't always appreciate when others don't agree with me hehehe 
Sorry, I still stand by my statement that VC is a huge snob. And I'm not the only one who has said it. First time I saw her in Philly in 02, we were leaving the show, walking to our car about 30 or 40mins after the show had ended (we got a steak sandwich first), and it just so happened VC was walking to her bus in front of us (we had parked in the lot next to where her bus was parked). I spotted her first, but without saying anything we kept walking and sure enough V and her assistant (?) were heading towards the bus, so at this point I knew it was her, and then a little girl (maybe 8years old) who had already been waiting near the bus who saw her coming said "Mommy! it's Vanessa!"...whoever VC was walking with looked at the little girl and said V will sign autographs later, and then they both hurried onto the tour bus and closed and latched the door. We stuck around for about 30mins (mind you, it was December, so pretty chilly out)....V never came out and the look on the 8 years old face was sadness. Her assistant did come out and say that V was on the phone or some BS excuse....I just remember the look on that little girl's face. It's not like a herd of people were bombarding her, just myself, my friend, and the little girl (her parents didn't seem interested in V lol). That just rubbed me the wrong way.
Later on, at a show in October 04, Vanessa did the same thing, there were a few more fans this time tho, she quickly ran onto the bus and didn't even say Hi or thanks to the fans. Pure snob moment.
There was also a show in my area (Allentown, Crocodile Rock) where she attened a 3rd Eye Blind show, when she got out of the van heading into the show, she ran right inside, where as 3EB (albeit briefly) did wave and sign a few autographs. Not her tho. Quick, get inside, SUNLIGHT! OH NOEZ! I can't totally blame her here tho, I mean, it wasn't exactly her fanbase, but a few people did yell Vanessa...no acknowledgement, nothing. Just right inside.
Well, that's my opinion....maybe she's changed in years past...but those incidences just rubbed me the wrong way. If you weren't a hardcore fan, and you got snobbed like that, would your opinion on that artist differ? I don't think so.
Hopefully that clears some things up. Nothing was said to be hurtful to anyone. Just opinions on that matter.
