Talk:Vanessa-Mae

message: Not that I have listened to any of her music, but I am fairly confident she hasn't got anything to do with techno. Can someone who knows her works and has a better grasp of electronic music change this to something more appropriate?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.141.57.115 (talk) 17:46, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The album covers and info on the albums could be moved to articles on each of those albums. I reverted the Vanessa-Mae article. Maver1ck 19:39, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I'm not an administrator, but I thought the album list should be in a more simple format, and then the album covers and additional info could go on each album article. Maver1ck 19:05, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there a strange property of violins that they gain value when they're broken?
She once fell and broke the Guadagnini, but then it was pieced back together, giving it a current price tag of almost half a million USD.
That's ~200USD more than it was worth before.  Is this a mistake or am I ignorant?  Did they use platinum duct tape?  Either way:  citation needed.  Alex Dodge (talk) 01:56, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Anyone have access to this book?
Summary: Vanessa-Mae is the world-famous violin prodigy. In this book she tells of her upbringing in London and Communist China, the true story of the falling out with her mother, and how her career took a controversial turn when she was marketed as a pop artist.

thread_title:  Potential source 

message: Vanessa-Mae announced in 2006 that she would be releasing a new album sometime between 2007 and 2008. The album was said to draw inspiration from great ballets and opera themes. A new album was expected in 2009,[3] but the year ended without the expected release.
Is the 2007/2008 album and 2009 album the same? Then it should be The album was expected in 2009. A new album in that sentence suggests that would be different album. 82.141.72.97 (talk) 14:58, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Unless this is an issue I'm having with my browser, Mae's official site is only one page and contains only a picture and contact details. Seems pretty worthless to me.--Τασουλα (talk) 00:25, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems she is inactive as a musician. There was going to be an album in 2007, 2008 or 2009 but nothing have appeared since 2004. 85.217.22.25 (talk) 11:15, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Photos

message: I haven't seen this noted in any reporting yet, but as far as I know, Vanessa-Mae is the only individual who has both participated in an Olympics competition and had her music featured in an Olympic competition.  Shizuka Arakawa won the gold medal in 2006 skating to V-M's rendition of Violin Fantasy on Puccini's Turandot.
Interestingly, Julia Lipnitskaia skated to a Vanessa-Mae piece, Sabre Dance, for the Closing Gala at the 2014 European Figure Skating Championships (); I wonder if she'll use it here. 
This would be an interesting thing to add if it is noted in reliable sources.  TJRC (talk) 20:27, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Some albums include the surname Nicholson in her bio, but it is never mentioned in the article. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 19:53, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it was mentioned in the article once, but it has perhaps been lost in all the recent revision. I agree it should be mentioned somewhere, if it can be suitably sourced. --Deskford (talk) 21:25, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It was removed in this edit apparently for not being sourced. The Straits Times says  "Mae Vanakorn Nicholson", assuming they didn't take it from Wikipedia, which happens a lot for these kinds of stories. Telegram also: "Vanessa, whose full name is Vanessa-Mae Vanakorn Nicholson"; but this seems to have included an interview with the woman herself, so it is less likely to be citogenesis.

message: Forgive me if I’m wrong but it seems from this article - to me - as if her playing career ends around 2002 or somewhere. Then there’s a colossal amount of verbiage about skiing. Is it really that simple?? Best wishes DBaK (talk) 22:04, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, those skiing controversies should be trimmed down radically. Regarding her career, it does seem to have faded away since she stopped recording (no new album since 2004 per Vanessa-Mae discography). Looks like she performs occasional concerts these days: 4-5 dates per year in 2017–2018 (). There should be information about her concert performances in the article. — JFG talk 07:05, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
