Heroes & Thieves released today
Tuesday, 09 October 2007
Vanessa Carlton's new album Heroes & Thieves with Stevie's cameo on the song "The One" was released today. If you're expecting a thunder-stealing backup vocal (like the one on Marilyn Martin's version of "Sorcerer" from 1984), you'll probably be a little disappointed with Stevie on "The One." The vocal is a little understated and gravelly, but the harmonies are warm and fuzzy. Vanessa has a voice that's more suited towards musical theater (not my favorite genre), but I can appreciate what Stevie sees in her. Here is a girl who can sing, write and play a musical instrument. In the production-driven world of today's recordings, she's clearly the outcast...and the underdog. So I'm rooting for her, even if I'm not a big fan of her music.

well if you do it in terms of like sales, she is the underdog. But if you do it in terms of talent, she is most def. not an underdog. But we are bias b/c we are her fans. Outsiders that are not fans, might not appreciate Vanessa as much as we do.

I think you took the comment about being the underdog all wrong. Vanessa is the underdog cause clearly she is more talented than what mainstream 'music lovers' like and can appreciate. I don't think the comments made above were at all negative...basically saying that Radio and Media don't appreciate real talent, and because V is so talented she doesn't get the credit she deserves...

I agree with that and the terms of sale making her an underdog, her talent doesn't.

I'm not saying that what they said isn't true, I know we're more biased towards Vanessa, but those were kind of personal opinions and they kind of had a negative connotation.

I dont think her voice is musical theatre. Musical theatre has alot more vibrato and i appriciate it becuase i do theatre though I wouldnt listen to it on my ipod.

I've done musical theater my whole life, that isn't Vanessa isn't that, she could be if she sang differently, but her voice is a different style naturally.

AisforAdrn · « **Reply #13 on:** July 27, 2008, 08:53:51 pm »

Vanessa is a far cry from musical theatre. I also have done it for many years, and...haha she's just...nothing like that.

As a huge Stevie Nicks fan myself, I'd have to say that the online group is torn half and half.

There's the group who loves Vanessa (like myself) and there is the group who does not understand what Stevie sees in this girl.

As far as the comment made above, I'd take it as positive. Heck, he critisized Stevie, (nasally voice on The One) before he said anything about Vanessa. Calling someone the underdog is not a negative comment. If anything it's something nice, in a way saying he hopes she pulls through and gets the recognition she deserves.
