Bump!!
there is no need to bump threads. she is a poser, I have to agree. At least Vanessa stayed true to her style of music, even if it might have made her more successful financially.
country was more successful for michelle branch? are you kidding? she did what she wanted. she made amazing music, while doing a project with her best friend, and took time off from pop/rock music (with all her huge pop/rock singles, she made a ton more money, i'm sure) to have one pretty big single (in the COUNTRY world, not the whole music world) and one not so big single, and then is going back to pop/rock music.
sure she uses a fake country accent, but damn! she can do what she wants. and for that matter, vanessa can show as much skin as she wants to, and that shouldn't be used as leverage in an argument that no one can win because opinions aren't right or wrong.
your post doesn't even make sense.
