I worked on a couple of MB records years ago and she was a sweetheart so she wins this VS for me :)

ok, this Michelle Branch show is pretty lit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geNXd5Q850s
I can't decide if my favorite moment is when she bums a hair tie from a roadie, asks the audience if they've heard the band Lifehouse, announces that "Everywhere" is gonna be on TRL Wannabes, or stops twice in mid-song to berate her audience for abandoning her during the rain ("it didn't ruin Woodstock!") a minute before the announcer comes onstage to call off the show. this was a week after "Everywhere" was released, so there's this weird tension where she's on the cusp of fame but she's still playing middle-of-nowhere gigs with apparently no quality control from her road/sound crew. it's a little surreal to hear such a raw, real performance from an era when when major label singer-songwriters were generally polished and micromanaged to a fault.
(and ok, I hadn't realized that MB was such a qtπ)

Vanessa Carlton must be at least slightly annoyed that her biggest hit is chiefly remembered in 2018 as "that vine meme with the white girl and the rolling piano"

Norah Jones is boring as fuck. Going Michelle Branch, she’s great on the Santana cheese puff “game of love” https://open.spotify.com/track/41IShViF79gmulEkIHAjcb?si=vKPNn6CVSO6UEJmJ5zkIlg

Have you actually heard little broken hearts or is that just a knee jerk dismissal?
― kolakube (Ross), Friday, 12 January 2018 19:42 (six years ago) link
The final track on that album is more Mazzy star than Norah
― kolakube (Ross), Friday, 12 January 2018 19:43 (six years ago) link
Sorry man no I haven’t heard that particular trackBut I’m familiar with her debut which was strangely, hypnotizingly boring. And I did give one of her later albums a chance and it was just snoozeville...

Yeah honestly id feel the same way as you if I hasn't heard that one record. Rest is a snooze sure. Cheers mate

it's as if it doesn't even attempt to add anything to the song (apart from a less appealing diction)
thread title is nonsense
― niels, Thursday, 22 March 2018 17:30 (six years ago) link
I haven't formulated an opinion on that but the thread revive reminded me of one of the brighter moments of 2016: "Goodbye Ted Cruz."
