Talk:Rachael Yamagata

message: No offense but this extremely unfair to all artists who have actually charted yet cannot meet wikipedia standards for inclusion. Rich kids who have parents paying for their careers needs to wait until they have acheived public noterity before their college years are being talked of. This is a joke and should deleted.

:Rachael Yamagata is signed to one of the Big 4 record labels (BMG), she has had songs featured on major film soundtracks and has sung on some very well known artists records. To say that she is product of rich parents is jumping to conclusions, nowhere does it say that her parents landed her a record deal... And yes I happen to be a fan, and she is one of the better songwriters around, maybe you haven't heard of her, but you probably aren't looking past MTV for new music now are you?... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.209.142.48 (talk • contribs) 05:41, 23 February 2007  (UTC)
My knowledge of music extends beyond limp sounding generic waifs/ Tori Amos clones such as this, does your's? No one knows who this is and her article is far too long.

:If by "no one" you mean the likes of Billboard Magazine and the singer/actress Mandy Moore, who's collaborated with Ms. Yamagata, then yes, no one knows who she is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Elephino-rob (talk • contribs) 20:41, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move to Delete 

message: I tried to cleanup some of the excessively informal tone of the article, but the Happenstance paragraph proved to be a bit hairy. Quite a few of subjective, unattributed claims, such as the Yamagata's music to Fiona Apple and Sarah McLachlan, and whether the guitars in "1963" recall the Jackson Five. The description of Klezmatics as the premiere Klezmer group in the country, seems to be unnecessary peacock-terming. Even if they're popular, uncontroversial assessments, they don't really keep with the formal tone of an encyclopedia, and should be properly attributed or removed. Dancter 08:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The description "Japanese American" was placed in the lead with a citation but I have removed the word Japanese. Because a) she was born in the USA  b) we don't describe people in terms of their past heritage ie we don't say  Denzel Washington is an African American actor. and c) even if we did, her mother was German-Italian and her father was also American born with "Japanese decent". -- — Keithbob • Talk •  22:24, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
