Doesn't matter if she writes her own music and plays a piano--it's still pop.

The first songs of her albums are pop songs and the rest of both albums is something weird kind of goth.

Quote from: "kev222"
Vanessa's music is "singer/songwriter". I know that's not a real genre, but I've always felt that the category "singer/songwriter" encapsulates all pop musicians with some artistic integrity. It's a way to seperate the Vanessas, Michelles and Deltas from the Britneys, Christinas and Spice Girls.

Basically: Pop, but not too pop :)

Yeah, but everyday it's harder to distinguish one from the other, I mean Christina and Britney write their own songs now and are in control of their music and Christina's upcoming album seems to be great and original, and Nelly Furtado who I used to think was a pop musician with artistic integrity has some new really Britney music, she even has a choreography on one of her new videos and she's showing more skin than she used to.

 Delta Goodrem...artistic integrity.... ?  :lol:

Man, I can't stand her. Did you know she was a complete Britney clone, wearing Britney outfits and dancing Britney-style, with back-up dancers etc. until her first single ("I Don't Care") didn't sell... so then she discovered that playing the piano and singing different songs did sell, and decided to create that image instead. That "nice girl-next-door sweetie pie" image. The "I am an artist because I play the piano" image. She is so fake, and tries so hard to be inspirational it sickens me. I find her so transparent, and it seems that lots of people don't want to see that just becuase she had cancer. It's sad that anyone would have to go through that, but it's also sad when having a disease is your greatest career move to date. Vanessa is in a whole other league and I would love to see her kick Delta's ass.

Yeah. "Alternative" could be pretty much anything that's an alternative to the mainstream.

Some songs are pop, but I don't know what to classify the others as.
