i totally agree. i still think white houses was her best video and that was sophie muller. all the videos mark and vanessa make together tend to be a little boring with little emotion.

I agree as well. Sure she likes to collaborate and stuff but I mean he did not direct WH and I loved WH its my fav! I think they should have gotten a fresh mind for this vid, someone who is not used to vanessa themes and stuff.

Hah, I disagree. The video for White Houses, as amazing and emotional as that song is, bored me. I loved Vanessa dancing and all, that was all good but I wanted to see more of a story rather than just her dancing.

This video is going to be good.

hm, well, i'm indifferent. As long as it's a good vid. WH wasn't anything spectacular. The vid had a shallow story to it. Just a pianist envying the dancer. Nolita and all the others have many scenes to them. As long as something worthy is conceived, I'm content. so hooray for the news!

i wouldn't say "just" a pianist envying a dancer, it really is more than that. Seeing that you're a nessaholic, I would think that you would understand the true symbolic importance of that video!

As long as it's not as indie looking as Nolita I'm fine with it. But please no odd colours and all that like in Nolita. It fit the song.

But HOM needs to be as mainstream as possible, Nessa needs to breakout. It's time for some recognition.

i really think she should do a solid story line about the romance in the song and make it really cute. nothing too abstract.

I'm not sure I understand the true symbolic importance of the video. I do have a theory but I'm probably wrong.

Vanessa was a dedicated dancer who gave it up in favor of music. She recently reembraced her inner dancer, but she still has those conflicting passions inside her.

I think the average music video turnaround is a week, two maximum these days. So Vanessas vid should be out within the month.

Id imagine theyd rush it out for Valentines day. Get some momentum in song requests for dedications.

If they dont release the video a week or so before valentines, then they will have lost a big tool in generating gumption.

Don't underestimate it. The problem with Nolita Fairytale was that it was an oddly constructed song which had no vantage point.

Hands On Me is a deeply romantic song that will have much greater connection with both men and women. It's the first Carlton single since A Thousand Miles which has possibilities to appeal to both sexes.

Ordinary Day was about a girl's story.
No song was ever as feminine as Pretty Baby.
White Houses was a girls story again.

I wish Afterglow and Who's to Say had proper releases, they could have taken off. But Hands On Me, Fools Like Me, Heroes and Thieves and More than This all have huge single potential.

I truly think if anythings going to take off for her, This is it.

If you actually visited more frequently you'd realize that people here argue amongst themselves what would make a good single and what wouldn't EVERY DAY. Every day. And it gets really redundant. If I hear, "Spring Street needs to be the next single!" "NO, I think Heroes & Thieves should be the next single, blahblah, just because I think so.", one more time so help me. No one here backs up their opinions with legitimate insight into the market, etc. So it's pointless. And quite frankly it's tiring.

The next single will be what Irv and his team decide it to be. Deal.

I think people bring it up so often because they want to see Vanessa succeed. If this album stays under the radar like it currently is, who knows how much longer she will be able to stick around in the industry. So I think people just CARE which songs get released. And sometimes people DO state legitimate reasons they think a certain song should be released. For example, I said I think Spring Street would do better than Hands On Me because it has a more catchy hook and lyrics that are easier to relate to. Honestly, not that you care, but I think once again HOM is going to weigh in on the side of too much specificity (talking about temp work/ indie show / Dali Lama) and not enough general relatability. Same thing with Nolita Fairytale. Know why ATM did good? A great hook & pretty much generic love/life lyrics. It's not saying these are her best songs or anything, just what people think will sell for her ... which in the long run means what will get us more songs in the future.

agreed.

i thought it should end the album as a single, but then i realised they'd have to edit it somewhat and that would fuck the song up. so yeah...i don't think it'd be a single.

Post by: iluvvanessa on January 27, 2008, 08:48:59 pm
Thats a good statement but i dont think that Vanessa is looking for the sales and catchiness that many other artists think that a song requires. I think Vanessa is about her true experiences and making her songs stories [like the theme of H&T takes after German Folklore and fairytales] and chapters in a book as she described them in concert, she is one of a kind and a true artist.

it was just my opinion, i dont want to piss anyone off.  :wink:  :wink:

If this album stays under the radar like it currently is, who knows how much longer she will be able to stick around in the industry. So I think people just CARE which songs get released. And sometimes people DO state legitimate reasons they think a certain song should be released. For example, I said I think Spring Street would do better than Hands On Me because it has a more catchy hook and lyrics that are easier to relate to. Honestly, not that you care, but I think once again HOM is going to weigh in on the side of too much specificity (talking about temp work/ indie show / Dali Lama) and not enough general relatability. Same thing with Nolita Fairytale. Know why ATM did good? A great hook & pretty much generic love/life lyrics. It's not saying these are her best songs or anything, just what people think will sell for her ... which in the long run means what will get us more songs in the future.


I understand what portions.for.foxes is saying because it really seems, in any thread you go into, there is some discussion about singles and after a while it gets extremely repetitive. I think it is much better to kinda stay on the topic of the thread, especially if there is an existing thread for that topic already.

But, I completely understand what you're saying too Noelle. The reason why we're all talking about singles is because we care so much about the
success of this album. I think most of us feel a deep connection with V's music and we want her to keep making records for a long time.

I agree that there is way too much single discussion. It also annoys me when people are like OMGGGGGGGG THIS SHOULD BE THE SINGLE CUZ IT MY FAVE!!!! If there was intelligent discussion about the single based on what would honestly be the best fit for the radio, fine, I wouldn't be so annoyed. But teenies are running around yelling about how their favorite song should be the next single because it'sthebestsongi'veeverheardomg... anyone who thinks that More Than This is going to be on the radio because it's the "best" is sadly mistaken. Same for Home. The single is not chosen based on what is the "best" song on the album, it is what is the "best" song for RADIO.
Why is anyone talking about a good next single, anyway? HOM has literally been released 3 seconds ago. Focus on that.

I don't see a problem with discussing which single should be next because it just shows how good the album is as a whole. I think people discuss it because they want their favorite song made into a video. And of course you're going to get teenies running around cause those teenies love Vanessa Carlton, but as long as their not creepy who cares? They're just fans. Plus, not everyone here is very mature or intelligent for that matter.

And people are discussing HOM. They discussed it a bit as a single but now people are just anxious to see the new video.

Honestly, relax. It's not a big deal.

you have no idea how often i come here. the reason i don't post often? people like you. yeah, i used to be a fucking bitch. look at some of my posts, which i'm assuming you already have. but i have calmed down a lot, and i don't think sharing my opinion warrants your reaction. maybe you should calm down a little. free flow of information and opinions are good things.

just calm the hell down. you weren't even involved in the conversation.. it's sad that you need to spend time denouncing other peoples' opinion.

to ADD to my opinion, the song is too long. it would fit in a movie, or something, but not on radio. i think that's a good thing. because the majority of radio is utter shit.


You used to be? lol What. You're still one of the most irritating and useless people that post on this forum. And I'm perfectly calm, don't interept my annoyance as not being calm, because that's far from the truth. The only person getting themselves worked up into a tizzy and jumping on the defensive (geez, I wonder why you feel the need to be so defensive at all times :roll: ) is you. lol

i love vanessa dearly and her music since i first heard ATM. but, she is so over commercial images with this album. im just worried that if she doesnt come out with another good single she will be another one hit wonder and her songs will be released on those info-mercial compilation cd sets twenty years from now and she will only be remembered for a thousand miles...

i think fools like me would have been a better single

Now it's just getting crazy...but if you think it's that bad here you should see the o-board! :crazyeyes:

Anyway, it's true that ATM was V's biggest and most memorable hit but Ordinary Day was a hit as well. Some people know her for OD more so than ATM, obviously not the case for most but still.

On the topic of the video...Any guesses as to when we'll see it? I wonder if they'll put up a banner on the official site like they did for NF. I hope it's not too long.

I'm pretty sure even if HOM flops with the general public Vanessa will still have a career in the music industry.

There are SO many artists that keep recording that would love to sell half as many copies as she has sold of "H&T"

Joanna Newsom
Ben Kweller
Broken Social Scene
Emily Haines
Metric

The list could go on and on.

Nothing to worry about folks, Vanessa will be around for as long as she wants to be.

Post by: chrisb on January 28, 2008, 09:19:41 pm
I think the reason so many are worried about the Hands on Me single and are voicing their choices for singles is because Hands on Me just doesn't seem marketable to any audience, yes the lyrics are awesome but the music is just something I feel would put off many mainstream music fans. I hope the video is able to catch the attention of many, I really do, but at the moment I'm just not optimisitc.

My personal choice for a next single would be This Time, the music composition is heartfelt but also a bit attention grabbing and I do think the song can connect with a lot of adults. While all of Vanessa's songs are written well, her music composition is just too different. But regardless I just hope we get a next single.

Post by: musician on January 28, 2008, 11:46:27 pm
I agree your thought about HOM being somewhat not marketable to any audience, but I prefer Fools Like Me to This Time coz the cathyness of the song and it's radio friendly as well...Either way, any next single would be just great... :)

HOM is one of the catchiest songs on the record. The melody just grabs you.

It will for sure make a better impact than Nolita.

I'm a huge fan of both Emily Haines and Metric, and I enjoy Broken Social Scene, but I'd like to point out that they are indie artists on indie labels.  Thus, their sales barely make a dent in those of many major-label artists.  Vanessa is a major-label artist, so you can't really compare her record sales to some of the artists you mentioned.

I do think Vanessa would do extraordinarly well as an indie artist, though.

Anyway, I'm dying to see the HOM video and hear about any progress made with it. I wish I'd found out about the casting earlier; my brother and his wife (both extremely attractive people) live in LA!

The reason y i think not many people are interested in V's new songs is because every song out there now is like dancy-club type if u get wat i mean....
V's songs are more calm and classical than pop....
And not many people are into that kinda music and her songs wont just magically pop up on the radio all the time...so they have no way in being introduced to V.

That's my opinion at least... :razz: :D :lol:

I think that V has a lot more of a chance of blowing up today, because look at Feist! 1234 was just in this commercial and it suddenly caught fire. If V becomes one of those Vh1 you oughta know artists, she'll be so popular. Ingrid michaelson also got so much popular and she's not a dance/club pop artist.

So, V definitely has a real chance to become so popular again. just keep pushing with a lot of adverts and stuff.

There's no way she can be a you oughta know artist because she's not new. They only feature up and coming artists and V already had her big hit with A Thousand Miles. However the commercial idea is a good one. An iPod commercial would be amazing.

you're being ridiculous, you havent even seen the video and you're making stupid assumptions. im sure the director, or whoever chose the kid, knows what he's doing. its not like he forced the directors to choose him.

im fine with predictions but you didn't make any predictions, i was just annoyed at the "one tree hill or oc jr" comment.

It's okay for her to appear all sexy and hot.
But you know some people will act weird and say the craziest things like childmolester lmao.

he can NOT be the lead guy. he doesn't fit the part imo.
He can look as hot as he wants, but just no.


I hope he's not the lead guy....

Maybe there's some other younger couple in the vid and he is with some other girl and not V. I hope so. :)

Yeah. He's cute but waaaaay too young for her. Heck, he's waaaay too young for me even! haha. But, hey, at least he's legal.
I bet if he's in it he's not HER boyfriend. Maybe there is another couple? Or in the video and there is a younger VC (like in retrospect) and he's her bf? Who knows! Maybe he's not even really in the video. Is there hard evidence for that?
I'm excited for Friday! :)

the thing about the song is it is about having a lover throughout different lifetimes, so maybe it follows like 3 different love stories with all different people and the young guy is just one of the love stories with a differnt girl

That's really interesting and creative. It does come over mainstream right? Cause V can't be TOO creative that people can't relate to it, cause that would be a shame.

It's OK.  Not a blockbuster.  I'm beginning to wonder if the "video exchange" refers to You Tube or even a dating site(witness all the different couples at the end).

It's pretty simple, simpler than NF.  Here's hoping it does something.

agree.

This has got to be her simplest and lowest-budget video ever :(. The first half is amazing but then in all the scenes she just stays in one place and that's really boring. When she reaches to the light, it would be nice if someone pulls her out of that room and into the forest. Again, the idea of people touching each other would be more interesting if they are in somewhere else.

I love the grass, forest and the taking skirt part :D She sings the "oh-eh" thing herself, amazing!!!

She looks like Alanis Morissette when the guy first touched her.
