She Lives on the Second Floor

The 48-year-old resurfaced at a NYC bookstore performance last month, looking healthier.
Suzanne Vega
Because "Tom's Diner" was used in early trials of developing the MP3 file compression system, Vega is often referred to as the "Mother of the MP3."

Suzanne allegedly tried out for Madonna's role in the 1985 film, "Desperately Seeking Susan."

16. #4: Just because she's not sporting the Skeletor look anymore doesn't mean she's overeating. You are the pig here.

21. I deliberately FORGOT about Suzanne Vega. I hated her songs. Thanks for drudging up the past TMZ. Now I'll NEVER get that stupid "Tom's Diner" melody out of my head. Grrr.

And I noticed that there are 2 sets of comments for this item. TMZ, you may want to hire an IT technician or two and combine the links.

24. People... the girl probably weighs about 110 pounds wet. Good God... all these nasty comments about her having gained weight. Get a life, people. And as for Nor Cal Reader - are you stupid, or just high?

29. Met her at a show she did in Londonderry, NH. She is very beautiful and is still a very good musician! If you get the chance to see her live it is worth it, especially if you have followed her music. Definately a nice person to have met, LOVE YOU SUSAN...YOU GO GIRL!
