okay

so ATM proves that the catchier a song is the more radio play it will get. so of V's songs which do you think would get more radio play if given the chance?

i say private radio

on harmonium, i think Private Radio, San Fran, Cest La Vie, or Whos to Say. Out of the new songs.... i think the single should be Best Behavior or PYHOM>

"Private Radio" would have made a great single, along with "Who's To Say"

From the new songs, I agree with the person above me who said "Best Behaviour" or "Put Your Hands On Me". But you never know...she may have a first single lined up that we haven't even heard yet

Yep! like everyone else i think private radio would make a great single. Even my sisters like it!

and perhaps, who's to say, pyhom, and afterglow! i think it would esp be quite popular in asia [where i am now] cos there slow tuneful songs with nice lyrics are quite popular.

i like songs like cest la vie, but i dont think theyd make good singles...i dont know if theyd get that sort of airplay atm got?

its kinda sucky you know ....i mean if u look at private radio ...it is so not nessaish...

its so "pop"y...if u know what i mean

its kinda unfortunate that an artist like nesa whos like officially out of the main stream is like forced to put forward songs like this ...just to stay in the limelight ....

but yeah ...private radio,the one,this time,...would defintiely get more radio play...

i think a lot of it is gothic. not just that part. the whole thing is about insomnia, and then there's the deny, oblige part.. that screams nessa.

also, not all of vanessa's good songs are gothic, and yes, a lot of them are poppy. a thousand miles anyone? san francisco?

sorry if you feel like i'm jumping on your back. i'm not trying to. i guess i don't see how you can say it's an amazing song, but it's sucky that she has to put it out. doesn't make sense to me. but whatever floats your boat..

Definately.

And the tempo of that song goes along perfectly with someone experiencing insomnia.  Your heart-rate is slightly up and your all antsy and stuff.  I think it is a really well crafted song and show's Vanessa's range.  And I'm sure Stephan had a lot to do with that song ending up the way it did as well.

If you want to feel sorry for her "having" to do something, I think it would be more proper to take a shot at the Time Warner commercial.  That's more likely something she didn't want to do, but had to due to Harmonium's weak numbers upon release.

I think Private Radio is a song that has great potential to be a hit, because it has a really catchy melody, and it's well-crafted, and fun to listen to.

However, I think what joey meant is that it kinda sucks that other amazing songs, for example, She Floats, just aren't seen as "suitable" singles for the market. It's unfortunate. But I guess that's the way it is. That Vanessa is capable of writing "hit"-type songs like ATM etc. and other fantastic songs like Wanted, The Wreckage etc., that aren't necessarily suitable for singles, really shows her talent and scope as a writer.

totally agree with that...i mean V is a very versatile writer of songs...she can write ones that are catchy like atm, pretty baby, and private radio, which is good, cos then if they are released as singles theyd definitely increase her airplay. but at the same time she rocks at writing unconventional, darkish songs, which really show her maturity and talent as a writer. so i guess both are good, and i wouldnt worry too much about whether v's music is 'poppy' or not, as long as she's not being forced to produce ONLY poppy songs or only a certain type of song to suit the market, you know? like as long as she has freedom to develop and continue writing the songs she wants to write, whichever style they are, i'm happy...
