Isn't this the Vanessa Carlton song?

Ugh, It's the Vanessa Carlton song

So does this mean she let Vanessa record her demo first?

Josh2003 · #4 09-05-2014, 05:33 PM

I believe Vanessa wrote this one.

Interesting choice, and I really like the way this one sounds. To me it sounds much more polished and "interesting" than the other snippets we've heard.

Looks like Stevie covered a Vanessa Carlton song...

I wouldn't be surprised if Stevie is putting the royalties from "Carousel" into a trust fund for her future god child...

Lame. I was really hoping (for the first time ever) that EVERY song on this album would have been written solely by Stevie...

BUT...if Stevie's new version is great, then I won't complain.

I would've preferred another demo (and an album made up entirely of Stevie-penned songs), but I'm digging the sound of this one.

well ... she COVERED The Rose
WHY didnt she record that instead lol
although i would have preferred Space effing Needle

STEVIE ... if you're TROLLING us ... please appease

Ooooh, snap!!! Better late than never, I guess! Now I feel bad for b*tching earlier!

Sooooooooooo...is this a Stevie song then? If these are "songs from the vault" then why would she do a Vanessa Carlton cover? Hmmmm

Josh2003 · #9 09-05-2014, 05:31 PM

Yep:

I haven't heard Vanessa's version, but I like what I'm hearing with the snippet. But yeah, count me in as those who think it's a little odd to have a cover song on an album that's supposed to be all about vault songs. And it's not like this one was set to be a bonus track, as it's on the regular album.

But hey, as long as it sounds good, that's all I really care about.

I don't like Vanessa's voice. Never got into her music. But the song sounds okay with Stevie singing it.

If this was a regular album, I wouldn't mind if Carousel was on it. Stevie has included other peoples song's on all her previous albums.
But if an album is titled '24KG Songs From The Vault', and it's being promoted as demo's that weren't officially recorded before, one would think that it is mainly comprised of said demo's, no? No. And this is why it strikes me as being odd.

And I'm still not understanding why Twisted is on there. Third time's a charm?
Stevie could have recorded two other demo's in their place.
Maybe we'll get lucky and she'll make 24KG: part 2. Some of those songs are too good to be left in the vault!
