Is it ok to not gush over Vanessa Fernadez?...one listener's perspective.


I bit. I purchased the first lp. I've owned it for over a year, played it completely through one time. I have played a couple of sides a couple more times. My point is, it just doesn't move me. Yes, she has talent. Yes, the production is great. Yes, we are suppose to fall in line, etc....

The lp has excellent SQ, so why doesn't it move me enough to listen more? Could it be that this has been done to death? Holly Cole, Jacintha etc... I listed those purely for examples, not to disparage in any way.

To me, just my own opinion, this particular artist seems to exist by the way of being sold to the audiophile community, solely for profit. American Idol comes to mind. IMO, this seems to be a manufactured product, made purposefully for the audiophile community.

I'm just expressing my opinion. I wanted others to have their opportunity. Not a debate just a reason for being.

Happy Listening!

VF's here but I am gone conveys the most emotion and involvement IMHO in the 2 albums that I have heard.  Maybe her most popular too demoed by many high end gear retailers. Very talented and well recorded but her song choices sometimes don't put her beautiful voice in the best light causing interest to be lost by listeners.  Any who are not a fan now should check out her future work.
The Zepplin covers record has got almost no playtime. It is just ho hum. Maybe it'll grow on me. Right now I feel like it was a cash grab marketed to 'philes and a large waste of my money. The first one I enjoy and listen to. 
I think expectations got the better of me initially cause I'm listening now and I like it. Glad I put it on again and didn't sell it. No it's not a record for the ages but shite turn it up and it works. I mean it's acoustic Led Zepplin, on its own merit it's really damn good.
