Free Music Notes for Be Not Nobody
Free Music Review: Something Corporate, anyone?
Hit: 3 Stars
It seems strange, but I keep thinking that Vanessa Carlton should team up with Something Corporate or something. They're nearly identical. Fake string harmonies with leading piano and some high pitched vocals. Not bad, mind you. But they sure do sound similar.Free Music Review: Pop Fluff Radio Mulch

A lot of people tossing up reviews here think Carlton is a delightful, original singer who is truly talented. These people are wrong. If it weren't for her nasally, wooden voice droning on about babies, angels and other feel-good bits of laughable pop music nonsense, this CD might be good for muzak, but why have such low standards to start with? Like the spoiled daughter of the school principal whose overlong recital warbles on unchallenged while vastly more talented artists wait in the wings, this has gone on far too long. Recommended only if you're short on clay pidgeons. Free Music Review: Good Piano, SoSo Voice
Hit: 4 Stars
I think that these are really good songs. i'm really impressed that she wrote most of them and plays piano on most of them. most of the songs are good, but on some of the slower ones she starts to rasp a little. Thousand Miles, ordinary Day, and Unsung are by far the best songs. She is a wonderful musician and songwriter but her voice.......Free Music Review: Shove it back in the horse!
Hit: 1 Stars
I work in an office with seven other women and we have to listen to MUZAK all day long. I hate it, and I hate listening to "A Thousand Miles" over and over and over again.
After seeing Vanessa Carlton play "A Thousand Miles" at last years' New England Patriots halftime show during Thanksgiving, I was ready to murder somebody. Even my nephew, Nathan, who is ten, said that Vanessa Carlton's music "was kind of sucky" and compared her with Bon Jovi, who he also called "a jerk".
What could have Vanessa Carlton have possibly been thinking when she wrote "A Thousand Miles"? Does she have any music training? That would be hard to beleive.
Anyway, I give "Be Not Nobody" one star because I used to think that anything would be better than listening to that b*tch Alanis Morrisette, but I guess I was wrong.
Thank You

I LOVE VANESSA CARLTON. I became obsessed with "A Thousand Miles" and learned to play it on piano just from playing by ear. Don't worry I'm not that obssessed anymore haha, but I will always enjoy the song. The whole album is pretty good, but some of the songs may be a bit boring.
"Ordinary Day"--A very beautiful song. Most definitely my second favorite song on the album. It is about Vanessa going through an ordinary day, but seeing an extraordinary boy who helps her through her day. It is a very beautiful song, and you will love it from the first listening. 5/5
"Unsung"--An OK song. After 2 or 3 listenings it kind of tends to grow on you a bit. It is about her trying to talk to this boy who just won't listen to her and wants everything his way, yet she goes along with him because she loves him. The music is pretty good, but overall the song is just OK. 4/5
"A Thousand Miles"--SO SO ADDICTING! This is the song that took over airwaves in 2002, and the song that made me love Vanessa so much. The piano is breathtaking to say the least, and the whole song is an absolute masterpiece. The chorus pretty much explains the meaning of the song ("If I could fall into the sky/Do you think time would pass me by?/'Cuz you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you...tonight/"). The video for the song is famous for the travelling piano. The best Vanessa Carlton song ever! 10/5 (Yes, 10--I just love the song!)
"Pretty Baby"--The original album version is pretty boring, but the new radio version kicks [...]. It is so much better than the album version, and the song that should have been on the original album. For the old version: 4/5; For the new version: 5/5
"Rinse"--I really do like this song. The piano is beautiful, and I think it is about a girl who became obssessed with this guy, only to find out that maybe he wasn't Mr. Perfect. She tries to "Rinse" him from her memory. A great song. 5/5
"Sway"--Another great song. I can't really explain it, but it is just a good song. Listen to a sample of it from this site to see for yourself. 4/5
"Prince"--The album filler. It really doesn't belong, and is pretty boring. I think this was included just to make the album longer. 3/5
"Paint It Black"--A remake of the Rolling Stones song. It is pretty good, but is not one of the album highlights. 3.5/5
"Wanted"--the piano on this song is very fast, and I love it! The vocals could have been better, though; towards the middle she just shouts the lyrics and it's kind of irritating. Overall it is a pretty good song. 4/5
"Twilight"--very beautiful and relaxing. It is one of the album highlights. 5/5.
This album was nominated for 3 Grammys, but she lost to Norah Jones, who is pretty boring. Vanessa deserved all 3 Grammys, but oh well. She is still very talented. I highly reccommend picking up this album. Worth it!
