the promo for "Nolita" and the album was crap. sorry, but it was. who the hell promotes an album the same day it comes out? because aside from V mentioning it in a few radio interviews and the buzz on the internet, no one else knew about it which reflects in the album's sales.

they need to force her out there into the spotlight. get people to notice her and start actually promoting the album & its singles. the single went to radio in july 2007 and they had her debut the video on TRL in october, three months later...what's that all about?

hopefully the promotion is tighter and in full effect this year.

XD, you might get a ticket for "disturbing the peace".
That would be quite a sight alright.
Don't worry you guys.

If he dares to give another interview in which states hig huge love and belief for Vanessa, i'll snap.

That's what i don't get, he says he believes in her. She's something fresh. And than he doesn't do anything with it.

At times i really think she made a mistake signing with his label. It still isn't on it's feet, and Vanessa is surely the victim. I hate to think this way.

Its great that he believes in her but he needs to believe in the publicity process too, like Vanessa said in pleased to meet you:
"some people live for the point of being famous, thats the point of their job...I dont. I've always gotten enough validation from my family and friends where i feel like i dont have to seek it out. But i want my music to reach people so i have to through the whole publicity process."
i dont know if the Harmonium publicity was good because i wasnt really into the whole music world because i was only like 10 or 11 when it came out, but i feel like it probably wasnt that great because the album only sold around 100,000 copies, and Heroes and thieves has don worse believe it or not, it has only sold 50-60,000. but i think she needs to get some posters hung up in music stores, start putting her albums in the front racks of the stores where you can see it while walking past the aisle and just jump the gun so to speak on the publicity.
but she also doesnt really care about being famous as long as her music reaches adn touches people, so she might be happy, and if she is happy then i am too.

Yeah, those are good ideas, but I wouldn't necessarily buy a CD just because it was right there. I would rather be introduced to it by a friend or a family member that loves music as much as I do. Publicity would be so great, and for those, let's say they were looking for a Vanessa Carlton CD before, and they forgot about it. But then they went to a music store, and they saw the CD up in front, so they went "Oh yeah!" and bought it. I don't know how many people just buy CDs for the sake of buying them, but I really don't want anyone to be deprived of having the chance to listen to music that they actually might like, a lot.
All this is really just a weird way of trying to say I agree, though. Irv should get his butt in gear. (XD)

i thought that Irv is doing his job well to promote her...Does he prefer to do more for his rap artists?

ordinaryday6 · « **Reply #44 on:** February 02, 2008, 09:42:36 pm »

i haven't really seen any promotion anywhere, except that music store someone had a picture of on here...
