Vanessa-Mae News Forum

Trying to make a life out living like everyone else, thank you for asking. Right now, I'm trying to save up for my violin, as the one now I absolutely HATE with shoddy workmanship and a horrible sound. NEVER ever buy any instruments from Southwest Strings (http://www.swstrings.com), or any of these...

The video is indeed out of sync, but I think that performance was live, but later overdubbed with tracks from the album. The reason I say that is because her fingerings are different than from what she recorded on the album. I doubt she'd do this if she was miming the performance (she'd go exactly ...

Did you even bother to read Glenn's explanation? If it's such a pain, why not offer your help?

First, to Jason Tee, who oh so eloquently described the site as "dull and unorganized" and then later posted that he hope he didn't offend anyone. Well Jason, don't worry, you've probably only offended a handful of people. Namely me, Maysan, Glenn, and whoever else who has spent their tim...

Of course there was devotion and compassion initially on Maysan's site, but it disappeared. Updates of VMH at this moment are not present. There are no tour dates, no interivews, no links to articles or recent photos. So basically you expect vanessamae.com to do the work that her official site shou...

Frankly, I'm pretty pissed about the statements made regarding vanessamae.com First, to Jason Tee, who oh so eloquently described the site as "dull and unorganized" and then later posted that he hope he didn't offend anyone. Well Jason, don't worry, you've probably only offended a handful...

Benji, 6 years isn't that bad. She has many fans in HK. Yet, we have waited for 5 years. Why so long then? I don't know, but one thing is sure, people here still love her. I'll have my finger crossed that once she has signed a new label, things would turn out much better. That's why with the recent...

Unfortunately, my decision has come to this.. If here next album is not released in the U.S., I will not purchase it period. For the last 6 years, I've had to put up with broken promises of visitations to America. In the last 6 years, Vanessa-Mae only had 1 concert in the U.S., a classical concert ...

Just one small remark on specialists. Sometimes two equally acknowledged specialists (physicians) come to diagnose different perspectives for changes of curing for the same patient. I know of people that are stil alive and cured now after going through heavy surgical treatment, where some doctors t...

Well you know it seems to me that you both just want to say that she mimes!! No, I've never said that she mimes all the time. Take a look at some of the concerts I reviewed in the past (well on second thought, you might not be able to since the old board is now inaccessible). I also want to reitera...

Benjamin's argumentation using the differents sounds of the electric violin as proof for miming is not correct. The amplifier and the electric part of the violin makes it very well possible to create changes in sound within one concert. The sound can very well change from almost acoustic like to a ...

why do you think vanessa-mae mimes in the pop pieces when in fact these are easier than the classical? One of the easiest ways to tell that she mimed the pop pieces is to pay attention to how the violin sounds. The first pop piece she did was Toccata and Fugue. You can tell that the violin being he...

Haidee, could you close this topic? NO This is precisely why I left the board in the first place. There's NOTHING in this thread that can justify it being closed. No one has called anyone any names or crossed the line in any such matter. There will always be debates and disagreements. The day that ...

Thank you so very much Benji! I can't wait for you review. And please tell us about this concert, like where and when it was held, and when was it broadcasted on tv. Ray I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. I posted my review of this concert in the "review" section of the site. I hope it prov...
