Welcome, what part of Britain are you from?
Yeah it's cool that talent can still do well in the mainstream charts these days. I like the way DioPolytropos put it in another thread.
"she certainly writes interesting melodies. Compared to the likes of britney, nsync, and nearly the entire mainstream hip-hop scene, she's a giant ray of hope. Listening to most other mainstream artists, their music is horrifyingly repetitive and simplistic"
This board is a lot calmer than the one at vanessacarlton.com. But like you say, its all good.
