I would bet but I can't take a trip "just" for a half-hour lesson with V, even though that's very tempting... :cry:
With me and my piano skills, she would need half a day probably or even half a week!! ROFL
-
did you see the Carrie package Ghis? Damn she's so expensive.
-

Heck yeah!!!!
Does it include a night with her? :oops: :amylee:
-
I don't believe I could learn in a half an hour. :?
-
HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!
thats freaking amazing. if i ever got a personalized piano lesson i'd probably die in front of her actually..
good luck bidding everyone =)
-
the cool thing is the handwritten lyric sheet,
-
that's unreal!
-
oh wow. That's so amazing
-
That's awesome! I hope someone from here wins that.
-
omg! so cool! not just the fact that you can have a HALF HOUR LESSON WITH VC(wow!), but also the fact that shes doing it for charity...i think its quite sweet too!
and im not a guy, but i also have to say - nice pic :P
-
If only I had an extra $500 sitting around :lol: lol.
-
^^Seriously! Me too. :? And also the money it would take to travel to meet her! :roll:
Whomever wins will be SOOO LUCKY!!!
-
Hopefully the lucky bidder will be a Nessaholic so wear can hear about their experience.
-
The best thing about this is the funds raised for MOC from all 85 of the items :D
-

Yeah, I'm just envious. Thanks for contributing to that worthy cause.
-

makes sense... 16 year olds don't have mortgages :)
anyway, congrats to the winner!
-
its my daddy's credit card
but it is for a really good cause (tax write-off)! JK!
I wonder what we'll do since I already play ATM as well as she does!
-

Pretend you can't play it lol
OR
Ask her to teach you another song.. :D
-
Congrats! It's great that it was a Nessaholic who won it. 1200 is a lot but it's going to such a good cause.
I like white_houses idea of asking her to teach you another song. :) Or maybe you can just talk to her for 30 mins. That would be cool.
-
I'm sure Nessa won't mind if you tell her you can already play it. I can't see why she would mind just chatting and giving you some other playing tips, etc. It would probably be more fun for her, anyway :lol:
-
I have an idea for you: why don't you try playing ATM with her?
That could be fun! :D
-
I can't even imagine whats gonna happen...
i have my first AP test tomorrow and the only thing getting me through that is nessa
(and the part 2 episode of house tomorrow)
-
Ahh AP History?
-
ahh is right
yeah, AP World History...
its done and im so relieved
we had the worst DBQ, it was on the impact of silver in asia and europe
TERRIBLE
but the other essays, about classical civilization, 100-600 and the communist revolutions in russia and china were really good
the mult choice, idk...
-
So today we get the ebay package and inside is a file folder with vanessas picture in in, signed. Its the same one as on the eBay page. And its not written SHEET MUSIC, rather written lyrics for ATM...she has the weridest hand writing.
And it had a little certificate that I have to bring that day
but still no word on that day yet
-
ooo can u scan it?
-
ooo can u scan it?
ya!!! i'd LOVE to see it to!!
-
Yes, please, could you scan it for us??
-
i'll learn how...
-
yeah yeah! when you do figure out how, do post it up for all of us to see!
always wondered what v's handwriting is like!
and do tell us all about the session with v! i'm sure it won't bother her if you can already play atm..she could teach you something else you can't play! or you could play for her to hear and let her give you tips to improve! i'm sure both you and v can come up with other stuff to do:)
-
i'll learn how...
just get a picture of it with the digi camera,easier than scanning
-
omigod yea do that!!! I wanna c V's handwriting!
-
yeah yeah! please do that :)
and even if you cant, please do post here about how your session went! :)
-
You know wahts so sad?
I have absolutley no idea how to use (a) a comptuer (b) a digital camera (c) a scaner so adding them all together to get it on the comptuer is going to be quite a task
we have to call...idk when, but we have to call to make an apointnet
i swear, ill tell u all about it
-
keep us posted as to when you are going!
:-)
-
We're almost as excited as you must be, lol. I'm so glad one of us won. :D
-
At around 5 o'clock today, i get a call from Vanessas agent.
I run to the phone and she congratulates me, she was so sweet.
She asked my age, and i said 16. "So next week you're still going to be in school?" i said yes, I have regents.
"Vanessa wanted to know if you guys could get together next week because the end of June she will be away."
I told her no and said, "Tell Vanessa i am sorry. July will be a good month!"
"Oh defininitly! No problem kiddo"
And i wondered where i would be meeting her...
"Probably at a recording stuido in new york city" :!:
I want to master all of her songs on the piano before i meet her...
i have bout 14 down pat now
-
^aww, that's great :)
-

Wow, good job!!! Which ones do you know? I really want to learn her songs but I'm so busy already with the pieces I'm learning for piano lessons... classical stuff.
But anyway, I'm happy for you. :) You're going to be the most popular Nessaholic, hehe :wink:

Ask her if she likes Crocks, lol.

With me and my piano skills, she would need half a day probably or even half a week!! ROFL
haha ghisy remember when i tried to teach you ATM at guitar center in hollywood haha
i don't know how she could do it in half an hour....
-

-

Just ask what comes to your head. No pressure from us Nessholics.
Maybe you want to ask her about when she thinking the new album promos will start or the first single released?
I look forward to hearing about your once in a live time experience!
-
Thats really cool........
-
I've been having the weridest dreams lately...
Vanessa walks into the room and says OKAY, START THE 30 MINUTES! and says, excuse me and comes back 30 minutes later.
8O
I don't want her to think im a crazy fan, even though i am. I want her to feel like we can be "friends."
-
ooh cool! yeah, no worries about what to ask! just whatever you want to know..like about her upcoming album and things like that? like which songs will be included and things like that :) and wish her luck!
yupyup do tell us how it goes! dont worry about the dreams :P theyre normal i would think!
-
Yes, that and about what's on her other four demo tapes that the Library of Congress says she has. :wink:
-
"Hey Nessa, play ur new album for me!" :amylee:
-
.... :twisted: with a sneaky sound recorder on your person....
-
i can't record the session, or can i?
Isin't that illegal?
-
i can't record the session, or can i?
Isin't that illegal?
i don't know but i think that you probably shouldn't.
-
It's not illegal unless the police find out. And then again, I don't think it's illegal even if they do. RECORD IT!!!! Try to get her phone number by being really nice and such.
-
If you want to record the meeting, I would recommend asking VC/her management. It is unlawful to record someone (with sound) withouit their consent/knowledge of it. Respect Vanessa:-)
-
well, duh im gonna respect vanessa
just curious
-
Chill, I was just making a joke. I don't believe you should record it. ALthough you did pay a lot... lol.
-
Lizards.
-
Lizards.
Was that a lapse in attention span? lol. Lizards are cool though. They feel so smooth!
-
No, I just think they're fun. They're hard to catch though, but they're easier to catch in Florida than Kentucky. <3 2 U
-
LOL you should like bring a notebook, so you can take note of everything she tells you.lol
-
You should bring a lizard! So it can wash her piano!
-
You should bring a lizard! So it can wash her piano!
:? lol. alritey then....
-
I wish I had a lizard to wash my piano. I play it every day, but it still gets dusty.
-
ethan is from mars ::terminator::
-
Planet of the... Lizards!
-
Actually, I'm from Evansville, Indiana, where I lived in 912 Stewart Avenue, and now I live in Louisville, Kentucky, which is the bestest city EVAH!
-
Don't take a lizard. Take an owl. That way you can learn to play with an owl on the piano just like in the video! :D
-
I have a good idea. You should get her to teach you a little section of another song from the album we havent heard...
-
like SPRING STREET
-
-
like SPRING STREET
Ya

shes coming back from out of town july 29th
-

I feel you on this one.
I clean my keyboard keys all the time and within an hour they get dusty as fuck!
-
I clean my keyboard keys all the time and within an hour they get dusty as fuck!
I don't even want to know what that would mean if I tried to be cute and take it literally. 8O
-
hmm lizards...my sis saw a huge one the other day!!1
but yes if you wnat to record, i guess you either 1. dont get caught, or 2. ask for permission first? [but you have to be prepared that V or her management will say no though!]
personally i would prefer 2 over 1, but 1 over not recording at all. but then again, if you ask and it gets turned down, then you cant sneakily record anyway right, cos you'll get caught easily?
-
I honestly don't think you should record it...
-
I honestly don't think you should record it...
I definately agree...
-
Like I said, chill, it was a fuckin joke
-
Like I said, chill, it was a fuckin joke
maybe...but i'm sure some people would really think it was a good idea.
i didn't realize it was a joke.
-
It's cool. It's just that I already said this:
Chill, I was just making a joke. I don't believe you should record it.
-
Oh ok. Somehow I missed that. :lol:
-
well one thing u could do would be jus tell her that we NESSAholics are missin her and are waitin like hell for the new album.......
-
shes coming back from out of town july 29th
Ooh, less than a week away. Hope you are feeling less nervous.
-
Okay, before anybody says anything, this is a joke:
Take two recorders, ask permission, and if you're denied, you can take it out turn it off, and use your hidden spare to do it anyway. :twisted:
Now, that being said, I repeat that this is only a joke. :wink:
-
So my dad called Lori Levine today on her cell phone and she told him she was just speaking to vanessa about the piano lesson

Today was unreal. It was really unreal! I got Vanessa a unicorn with a breast cancer awareness ribbon around its neck and I made her a card with a personal message in it.
From the moment I woke up this morning, I was so nervous! I wore a very nessa outfit, straightened my hair to look similar to V.
I listed to harmominum the whole way there.
At 2:45 we met with the coordinator of Musciains on Call on fifty something street at a recording studio. She brought me upstairs and there was a photographer taking pictures for publicity for nessa.
A little while later her mom walks in! Mrs. Carlton is beautiful, just like vanessa. Shes sowell poised and friendly. She has been playing for 30 years and asked me to play alittle something for her so i played THE ONE and she was impressed
Then vanessa walks in with her publcist. She was wearing this black vest and black shorts. She sat down next to my mom and I told her that i wanted to play ATM FOR her. when I played the first few bars, vanessa said WOW! and as it progressed she told me that i was better than her! She was hysterical today. i kept playing and then she started singing. Vanessa sang as i played. SOMEONE PINCH ME!
Then vanessa's mom wanted me to sight read some material, but me and vanessa got side tracked and started talking about getting inspiration through classical music. She told me that she played Mozart sonatas when she was young and it just so happens that im playing them right now. She kept telling me to make up my own music and have my own stlye of piano.
After, Vanessa played me a brand new song. I swore to vanessa that i wouldn't say anything about the song itself, but i can tell you that its wonderful and you all will love it!
Later, Nessa played THE ONE for me, because its my favorite song. When she sang, she had so much power in her voice. It was like my own mini concert. Shes really great!
I gave vanessa her card and gift and she gave me a big hug. Then she went to go sign my piano book. She called me DR. Samantha becuase i told her I wanted to be an infectious diesease specialsist. "SOUNDS MESSY" she said.
Then the photographer took more pictures and v said to me, "we'd be twins if you weren't so tall!" everyone thinks we look somewhat alike, and so does vanessa.
I said goodbye to Mrs. Carlton and she kept telling me that I needed to start singing! "SING! SING!" she told me as she left with vanessa.
Also, my brother works for he new jersey nets and we asked vanessa if she'd be interested in playing at one of the games. She seemed interested. We spoke with her publiscist and my brother will contact her monday. Wouldn't that be cool, vanessa at the nets stadium. We'd all have to go to support her!
She said that the album is coming out in the spring and that she will post soon on vanessacarlton.com becuase i told her about how everyone wants to know about the album.
This has been such an amazing experience. Vanessa is so lovely and her mother is as well. I will never forget this day and it was for such a good cause too.
-
Sounds like it was INCREDIBLE! :D
-
said it on the o-board...gonna say it again...I'm jealous!!!!!!
btw...i thin u should make this a new post so that people will read it...
