When did you first become a Vanessa Carlton fan?
For me it was the first time I saw her on TRL, on January 4th 2002. 2 years ago today! :D

I watched and was glued to the set, before it was over I had a pen and paper ready to jot down her name to look her up on the net, see what more I could find.

first time i ever heard atm...ever. on the radio. yup.

I was watching buzzworthy on televison because I was *ahem* depressed, and I saw that some girl was walking into her garage with a tacky outfit and I was like, "god not another michelle branch look-alike, wannabe...." but once I saw her hit those keys and heard that music I was seriously in awe. I quickly memorized everything and wrote all the info that was on my televison screen. looked her up, and I've seriously been happier than ever because of Nessa, I dont know why I just am.
I first heard her my freshman year, middle/end of the school year, now I am a Junior, and I still lover her loads.

Around January 20, 2002 because it was a few days after my birthday. I saw her ATM video on MTV at around 2:30 am. I then knew I was powerless over NESSA. Hi, I'm Steve and I'm a NESSAholic. LOL

I saw the video early in the morning too and was like 8O who is that?
I then saw her on TRL. Found my way to her site when it was like dead and only a few people on and what came next?

lol everyone liked her when she was first seen on T.V... I first saw her on TRL in Jan. but I didn't pay attention to her and I didn't really like her, but then one day it came on the radio and I was in awe....thats when i started went to her site, but i didn't go to her boards until a couple of weeks later.

In August of 2002, I was referred by someone who I know to download "Paradise", because the song was "her fave!!!!!!!", so I did, liked what I heard, burned an *inaccurate* copy of BnN (A lot were the chorus repeated over and over). After that I joined the board even though I wasn't a big fan yet. I downloaded a correct version, fell in love, and bought the actual CD. I was a fan by mid-October 2002. I joined the O-Board August 22, 2002.

I remember exactly what I was doing when I first saw her... I had gotten a new radio for Christmas and I was programming my favorite stations into it while watching TRL. i wasn't really paying attention to the show though, more to my radio. But I heard Carson say something about a new artist that he thought was awesome, so I payed attention. I was a fan from the first notes in the song since the intro is amazing! I watched the video and afterwards I immediatly went on my computer to find out more about her! Carson only said her name, I didnt see it written, but luckily Vanessa Carlton wasnt hard to spell and I checked to see if there was a VanessaCarlton.com and luckily there was... so I was able to find out more about her! I also imed several of my friends asking if they knew about her, none of them did yet though! Actually one of the first people I remember asking about her was Lani, and now she's a NESSAholic too! :)
-
well, i was a fan since the first time i heard her.. :D
umm i'd say ...
hmmm...
febuary or march of 2002? im not sure when the first time i heard her was..
i remember..
one day my sister was picking me up from school, and she was talking to me and was all like,
"you know that song with the girl who looks like michelle branch, and she goes around on her piano?, do you know what her name is?"
i was like.. uhhh what?
then a few days later or whatever, my sister heard it on the radio and made me listen to it.. yay...then still didnt know her name.. and like a week later my sister found out her name.. and so i searched for it on the computer, and found her website..
at first i just looked at the website and totally ignored the message board.
..then after i heard it on the radio a couple more times, i rEALLY liked it and i wanted to hear more of her songs! ...so when i found out that she was just about to release a cd, i was like WOO! i am SO getting this!
and so the day the cd came out, i went to Best Buy and bought it!
i spent like ALL DAY listening to it..
and blah blah a couple days of lurking on the board, i got interested in it,and joined it on 5/5/02 :)
so thats ruffly my story..
(no, i didnt see the ATM video before i got the CD., but i saw it shortly after)
-
they used to air the US trl here and thats where i first seen Vanessa sometimes around end of Jan/Feb

It must have been early/mid January 2002 for me... I remember perectly well I was babysitting these two friends of my brother's, and while they did their homework I was doing mine (I was studying for a Geography exam!) while I listened to the radio and ATM came on! While I was listening to the song I tried to figure out the title so i could d/l it later... lol I wrote "making my way" quickly on my book before hearing it was called "A Thousand Miles"
After that I downloaded it, started searching for info... and came across the O-board. I just checked it once in a while til I decided to join in February :) And here I am, 2 years later, ta-daaaaa! Still a Nessaholic! :D

I first became a fan when I went to France like July 2002?
We were staying at this really nice hotel, but it was extremely expensive to have a evening meal! So instead just my mum and dad went for the meal. My brother and me were a little annoyed at first but we had the TV all to ourselves! And that's when we turned onto MTV and 'A Thousand Miles' starts playing! :D It was so different from anything out at the time, and made a huge impact on me! She just came a inspriration from then on! I learnt the beginning by ear and started playing on their piano :oops: lol.
As soon as I got home, I brought the single and the album and in August that year joined the O-board.
Since then never stopped being a NESSAholic :D
