White Houses Live vs Studio Version

[kaysha]

which do you prefer?  the studio version or how it is being performed live (see z100 thread).

I always like studio versions better.  I like some live studio versions of stuff, but i'm not so sure about this one.  One of my favorite versions of ATM and Paradise is a live studio version for instance.

I prefer the Studio.  It's interesting because there are quite a few that i didn't really care for until i saw/heard the live version -- like Unsung.  I'm not sure what i was expecting but after hearing the Studio version and really liking it I wasn't as fond of the live version on the radio.  I will, however, hold all judgement until i see her live in concert to perform it.

I'd have to go with the studio version, but I get the feeling that the song is really going to be the shiznat when it is performed live not as a total P/V. I do like the P/V live version though   ... so I put both (I am such a linetrotter lol)

I'm not sure. As for now, I guess I'd go with the studio version, but hearing new stuff live has really given me the shivers, building even more anticipation... I can't wait for the rest

I really prefer the studio version, maybe thats just because i don't think it sounded to great on Z100 and thats the only time i've heard it live. We shall wait and see!

[badsrx7]

i'm going to go with the studio for now..
maybe i'll change my mind when i hear it live in concert.

Hard to say.
I think I'm sooooo into the studio version right now (listened to it like 1 million times!) but the live version sounds, hmm, different.
Not that it is bad, but like Katia said, I'm waiting for the "tour" version to decide, hehe.

I guess I am the only one who LOVED the live version. It started off rough, but I loved the piano vocal thing about it. I love the demo tape SO much because it's 100% piano/vocal. I am a sucker for acoustic stuff. I think I am on the verge of hearing the studio version too many times. O_O But once it hits radios in Cincy, I won't get tired of it.

Studio, because it sounds a lot cleaner.  At the beginning of the z100 version, she sounds a bit shaky...I'm sure after she's performed it a few times, it'll sound better.  I remember the first time I saw VC perform ATM live on tv, it was very rough, but everytime I saw her perform it again it sounded better each time.  ATM sounded the best I've ever heard it on the z100 recording for example.

live...I don't like it so...high.

Alright after hearing the WBLI stream, I have to change my vote to the live version.  In that performance, she was so on!  And I do like the voice and piano without the bells and whistles.

i loved them both....in the live you hear more of the piano, but in the studio her voice is a little more...uh...manicured? i dunno...awesome either way though.

[Mountaineer]

I loooooooooooove both of them!
