Vanessa Carlton. Does anyone else like her? I think she is very talented, both vocally and on the piano. I love her new song "White Houses"!!!!! Have it stuck in my head right now.
I used to love Michelle Branch but all of her songs sound the same. She has great talent on the gutair though.
All in all, they both have great talent, and they get extra points for writing their own songs!

Posted: 10/5/04 at 11:50amIf it was a "you only have one bullet" scenario, I'd ask them to put their heads together so I could kill them both. I hate them both, especially that wailing wench Carlton.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Posted: 10/5/04 at 11:51amVanessa Carlton. I don't like Michelle Branch because she put's an ending to her sentences that shouldn't be there. Example...........I love you-ah. Have a nice day-ah." It gets SOOO annoying. Plus Vanessa just has a better voice

Vanessa. Michelle Branch annoys me. Although I must say I hate it when artists come out and an immediate competition is created between them and another artist.
Ex. Alicia Keys-India Arie.
Britney-Christina (although thats really no competition)
Jill Scott-Angie Stone

Posted: 10/5/04 at 1:20pmOne of the many many reasons I loathe the Carlton is she was dismissive of Tori Amos in an interview I read. Without Tori Amos, Vanessa Carlton wouldn't have a career and it would be nice if she realised it.

Posted: 10/5/04 at 1:29pmI am not a fan of either but if Ihad to pick one I would say Michelle cause she seems more down to earth!
It started with a sipmle idea, collecting one paper clip for every life lost, the feelings that connect us...are greater than those that divide us!

I have never liked Vanessa Carlton's music. The lyrics are nice, and appreciate the crazy piano, but I really cannot stand her voice. Really. At all. And I really WANT to like her, because her music videos are cool, but I always end up putting the TV on mute and just watching her dance around to "White Houses" because the song is so unbearable. Oh well.
Michelle Branch I didn't love when she first hit the scene. Good lyrics. Mediocre voice. No stage prescence whatsoever. But now, I frickin' love the chick.
Her album "Hotel Paper" has some really amazing songs. I highly recommend listening to "Empty Handed (Drowning in My Misery)". It's one of my favourite songs of all time. I'm also a fan of "Tuesday Morning" and "Breathe". Everything on the album is good though. Seriously, check it out.
I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

I'm kinda equally fond of both...I kinda wish they'd do a duet together.

Posted: 10/5/04 at 7:38pmBoth of them are actually more enjoyable to listen to than most fake pop stars of today.

Posted: 10/5/04 at 9:27pmVanessa Carlton. I was obsessed with her first album (before I discovered Broadway), and I saw her in concert, which was amazing.
I have my books and my poetry to protect me...
