Assessment comments

Changed link of "The Secret Life Of.." as it currently leads to a television programme about food.

I added their year of birth as 1984, which if they are 20 years old in 2005 should be correct.

While tidying up I removed the reference to their style as Scene. Not sure about this.

Does anyone know which sister is which on the photo we have, so we can put a caption on there.--Commander Keane 06:22, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

In the picture Jess is the one wih the neclace and Lisa is the one holding her hair.

The veronicas turn 22 in december 2006.


In their Archie Comics appearance (Veronica #167), Lisa has brown hair with blonde highlights, and wears a loose necktie and musical-note earrings, while Jess has black hair and large round earrings, if this helps. *Dan T.* 15:17, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
Jess has a nose ring, and it seems a slightly wider face than Lisa. - Matthew238 22:29, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Um, about the year of birth, I'm pretty sure that they turned 21 on Christmas 2005 cos I remember thinking that they were only a month or so younger than Delta Goodrem. I wont change it cos I'm not positiveBanana.girl 11:56, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

"The Secret Life Of..." shipped over 35,000 copies in it's first week, it didn't sell that many. Also when an album goes x2 platinum, it ships 140,000 copies not 250,000

[edit] Mexican?

Someone seems to have changed this to list the Veronicas as mexican...which is false considering they are Australian. Someone should prob change this...124.191.116.60 07:44, 1 August 2007 (UTC)MbOrO


[edit] External links

I find it incredibly rude that someone continually removes the link to VeronicasFans.com -adam, vf.com

Looks like a bit of spamming given that you run the site yourself. Referring to Links to normally avoid point 9. - RandomEcho 02:00, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
I hardly think it's spamming given the wealth of information contained within the site. Besides the fact that it is a simple text link, the appears ONCE within an accepted area for external links. It happens to be the largest and oldest resource Veronicas on the internet, and it's not unfair to assume that a link to such information would remain on a page that is intended to provide information. VeronicasFans.com is far more of a resource than, say, the IMDB pages, or even the official site, as far as touring information, appearances, media, and photographs are concerned. --Adamjk 02:01, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Given that you run the site, you have a non-neutral point of view towards it, therefore you should not be adding the link to the article yourself. --ozzmosis 02:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rumours

Edited some sloppy wording about the rumour of them working on an Archie comics movie, but is it really appropriate? -Ambientlight 21:38, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About The Veronicas in other wikilanguages

Ready! ;):)

[edit] 5th Single

Hi everybody, can anyone give a citation that 'Leave Me Alone' is the 5th single? Someone added this (forgot his/her name, sorry if you're reading this) and didn't cite, so wasn't sure to delete or leave it with the [citation needed]. ~ EmeZxX 14:43, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

It's the fifth single. You can check it from this link[1] Commando happy!® 08:13, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] school

Cite this please, whoever you are. And please sign your name after you write something..~ EmeZxX ` 13:09, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Career commencement

[edit] Sims 2

I think there should be something to aknowledge that they have a song on the Sims 2. I'm not sure where to put it, but if someone could find a good spot, it'd be great. 68.112.36.203 01:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


It should be noted that the Veronicas originally recorded demo songs with producer Stuart Stuart in Brisbane at Chartsong studios. There were at least 8 original songs recorded in these sessions (between 2001 and 2003), which attracted music industry attention.

[edit] Unreliable sources

Please note that Myspace, The Veronicas' (official) forum and videos uploaded onto youtube are not reliable sources and cannot and should not be quoted. Thanks — *H¡ρρ¡ ¡ρρ¡ 14:13, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank God You're Here

I'm noting here for possible future inclusion in this article that The Veronicas appeared on the Australian version of Thank God You're Here on the 26th of September. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sesh (talk • contribs) 11:24, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Height

In the "Thank god You're Here" thing it says most fo the jokes were making fun of their height. Are they overly tall or overly short? How tall are they? Is this stuff even in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.160.222.253 (talk) 20:22, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Does this stuff have to be in the article? — *Hippi ippi 08:06, 10 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Tattoos

I've heard that the girls have matching AFI lyrics tattooed on them. I was wondering if anyone knew which lyrics and where the tattoos are. Also, if they share these tattoos with Nils.

[edit] The Suite Life of Zack and Cody

Shouldn't you mention that they appeared on an episode of the Disney Channel series, The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody on the episode The Suite Life Goes Hollywood Part 2. I thought that was important. Also on that episode they perform their song "Cry". Heres the link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0946692/

[edit] Goodbye To You

The Veronicas' cover of Scandal's 1982 song "Goodbye to You" has an interesting mistake in the lyrics. According to Scandal member Zack Smith who wrote the song, the last 4 words of the third line are "your fear to choose." Source However, almost every internet listing of the lyrics contains the wrong words "I feel it too." The Veronicas must have gotten the lyrics off the internet, because they sing those same wrong words. Here is the youtube video of the original version by Scandal, which contains the correct lyrics.
