Hey kids!! It's that time again. We have to get "White Houses" on TRL and make our way (not downtown) but to the top of the chart. I know that together we can do it.
You can vote online here (http://www.mtv.com/onair/trl/vote/index.jhtml) scroll down and of course choose Vanessa Carlton :wink:
or/and call
1-800-DIAL MTV (342-5688) from 4:30-5:00 EST. When Carson comes on hit 1 then 826. They will say thank you for voting for Vanessa Carlton "White Houses" and dial again. You only get three votes per phone line.
So... who has voted? I know a lot of us started when the video premiered and have been voting all night or even have a link in their sig. That's awesome!!
-
voted!!! :D
*sigh* this is so awesome...
-
I lost count of how many times I've voted between 7pm last night and right now. But I'm going to keep on voting.
Goal 1: get White Houses on the countdown
Goal 2: get white houses to no.1
Goal 3: keep white houses on the countdown, until the video has to be "retired"
The video is great and so is the song. It shouldn't take long for non-fans to even start voting too!
-
I don't know if everyone knows the history but we did get "A Thousand Miles" retired but not to #1. We did get "Ordinary Day" to #1 but sadly were only a few days shy of retirement. "Pretty Baby" well...
-
I have voted easily over 100 times. Probably 120. I am going to continue voting until 5:00 PM. I am taking a day off of doing anything, I am worn out from tennis. I have the time!
-
Yay! :D
-
w00t! I have been voting loads today- i just hope it counts, i'm only entering the birthdate they ask for at the bottom of the screen- does that still count as a valid entry? Because it seems to be letting me vote regardless. YAY for the return of TRL voting!
-
Grrr. The MTV site is so slow. I need broadband.
i'm only entering the birthdate they ask for at the bottom of the screen- does that still count as a valid entry? Because it seems to be letting me vote regardless.
That question bugged me for ages when we set up the TRL comps. Also whether repeat votes actually count. They could be denying repeat or incomplete votes silently. In the end I just decided that there's no way to tell. So there's not really any point worrying it.
The best chance to get votes through would be to fill in all the details, wipe your cookies between each vote and perhaps replace your IP address between every vote. But who can be bothered to do that?! I just vote and hope for the best :)

just voted for the first time :D i've got three more hours to work, so i'll be voting for the next three hours since no one's coming in the store and i have nothing better to do :razz:
-
You guys rock!!
I am not sure about how many count cause unlike the phone thing. They don't say how many times each person can vote online.
We always wondered if TRL is rigged or not but all we can do is try.
-
I've voted online but since I'm working so much I haven't been able to call.
I'll try to get some votes in.....

How often can you vote.. ist only one time or can you vote again after a certain time...?
-

By phone, you can only vote 3 times per phone-line but as far as I know, online voting is unlimited.

i'm pretty sure it's unlimited. otherwise, how would they know if it's the same person voting or not? unless you're logged in as a user, but even then i don't think it matters.

they can't limit by IP or else you'd have a huge problem for all the people on AOL that use their caching servers and come from the same IP.

pretty much what i was thinking but i'm computer illiterate and don't know the fancy 10$ computer words :razz:
but yea
my boss has dialup. 'tis taking forever. i'm on vote number 11. pathetic, i know, but hey it's better than nothing :-P
-
well I was hoping someone knew the correct time to call. I read on another site that it's from 4:30-5 EST. To me that seems so last minute but years ago it was that the phone votes count for the following day show. I am so out of the loop.
-
You can vote (I think) during the half hour before the show airs.
ie: PST 1:30-2:00
MST 2:30-3:00
CST 3:30-4:00
EST 4:30-5:00
All votes called in today count towards tomorrow (or the next TRL date).
That's what I remember from my Michelle Branch voting days. :D
-

True enough that.

Call Now!!
1-800-342-5688
hit 1 then 826
-
I was able to get 3 on the landline, although I could have sworn it was 4 but Q told me I hit my 3 max. I was also able to get 3 on my celli. I guess they got smart cause before I could get in more than 3 but there was that damn Q telling me I hit my 3 vote max.
We still have time for online, you guys are doing great. I hope it pays off. Thanks!!
-
I voted 3 times by phone, and like 10 times online...
and still voting online...
-
TRL starts in fifteen minutes here.... *hauls arse to MTV.com and starts voting*
-
i got 32 votes in online....not many, but this dialup doesn't help :-/
-
I'm having fun making up names to vote with :-P
I have nothing better to do...heh
-
lol i did the same name everytime and occasionally put in a comment on the vid.....i've always (even way back in the day when trl first started) my comment to show up on the bottom of the screen :oops: :razz:
-
Haha. Well I'm just bored out of my head :roll:
-
I voted like 5 times.
But it's too late now, I'll vote more tomorrow. :D
-

I just said earlier that it lets you vote even if you don't enter all that data- and only the birthdate. I think thats right anyway, hmmm. It will save you a lot of trouble.

No trouble...I'm bored.

i've been voting a lot online..
i tried by phone.. but didnt get through today :-\
-
Well, it looks like White Houses didn't make the countdown today. But as they say in 'Gone with the wind", "Tomorrow is another day"!
Don't get discouraged :!:
-
Don't get discouraged :!:
Its the first day! It takes a LOT for NESSAholics to get discouraged!

yupyupyup. I was been told to shut up about VC by many of my friends but I still kept bugging 'em and now they're all spreading the news <3

Alright then. That's what I like to hear!

Totally true. We have played this TRL game before and we know we can get it done. Vanessa deserves it.
Keep spreading that word.
You guys rock!!

My connection is soooo slow! :( :( :( :( :( :(
-
OMG!!!!

I am a little late but just make sure after you submit it says:
Thanks for voting, be sure to tune in to see who makes the countdown. Feel free to vote again
-
*voting lots*
I'm on #19 right now...
-
Call now!!
1-800-342-5688
then 1 then 826
there is still time.
-
Did she get on yet? I came in at # 11.
-
Sadly, no. Since it is Friday the 13th they even did the top 13. But... they have this Five for Friday thing where they show clips of videos and "White Houses" was one of them.
Not gonna give up. We can vote online all weekend and hopefully our efforts will be rewarded.
Some of the videos on their countdown I just find it hard to believe that people are actually voting for them but whatever.
-
Okay, we made the "Five For Friday".
Is that like the "Wannabes"?
I don't watch TRL quite as often as I used to. Oh well, they're basically saying "vote for it". But WE aren't voting enough. KEEP VOTING! And I wanted to punch Quddus when he said "especially Jadakiss's 'Why'". Little bastard.
-
Cool, so just vote like crazy over the weekend and maybe we'll get her on the actual countdown Monday..
-
Some of the videos on their countdown I just find it hard to believe that people are actually voting for them but whatever.
I can believe it. People vote for absolute crap. I see it here on the top 8 at 8 countdown every night, and on TRL and the BET Top 10 Countdown, lol.
That said, my voting will not be deterred :wink:

Hey guys!! I just wanted to remind you to take a few minutes and put in some votes for "White Houses." You know V's birthday is on Monday so what better gift then to get her on the countdown. Maybe add a birthday message in the comments part. :wink:
You can vote online here (http://www.mtv.com/onair/trl/vote/index.jhtml) scroll down and of course choose Vanessa Carlton :wink:
Thanks :)
-
Voting
tylor
-
I've voted a little over ten times now; I'll keep it up as long as I can. :wink: I hope we can get WH on TRL for her birthday--go V!
-
Voting with my fingers crossed!
-
I hope White Houses makes it on the countdown in honor of Vanessa's 24th birthday! Let's keep on voting and dedicating the video to Vanessa!
-
I voted like 30 times last night; I'll see what more I can do right now. We have what, about an hour until TRL starts over on the East Coast?

Excellent :twisted:
-
Looks like their doing OLD SCHOOL vs NEW SCHOOL on TRL today. I hope if Vanessa makes the countdown, they pick "NEW SCHOOL". I hope that doesn't make me too picky.
-
I watched it earlier and no, she didn't make it :cry:
I only got in 3 phone votes today. I was in the car and couldn't get any landline votes. :cry:
-
hey they brought back carson. i miss him. makes me remember the old days when it was just him in a closet in mtv playing videos for us youngin's. *wipes tear*
anways. voted some more. :-/ i'm gonna be pretty much gone for the rest of the week until sunday, so i'm trying to get as many votes in as possible tonight.
VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!
-
i called in 6 times

hmm, hopefully she's on later this week
Amanda
-
Just a reminder at 1:30 PST call in your votes. I had to call mine in from the movies yesterday.
1-800-342-5688 then 1 then 826.
10 mins til time to call. :D
-
I called in my 3 phone votes and I did a bunch of online votes. I am hopeful that we'll get her on the countdown by the end of this week.
-
Awesome!! It's so easy, I got in my 6 in less than 2 mins. I only got a busy signal twice.
-

Yeah, I was suprised how smoothly the phone voting goes...before today, I usually only voted online....now that i know how easy it is to get through, I'll keep phone voting in addition to online voting....It was so cool to hear Vanessa's name on the automated phone message...of course it will be cooler when we hear her name on the countdown!
-
I got in my 6, sorry I couldn't get online to remind you folks. I hope you were able to get some votes in.
I know it's not looking good still but don't give up.
I HATE all these songs on TRL they need some new ones. We'll not all of them but most of them.
-
Pick up the phone and call now
1-800-342-5688 then 1 then 826
-
I voted but I missed the bottom of the countdown (as is what usually happens). Did VC break into the top 10 yet?
-
Hey guys, Just a friendly reminder to vote for White Houses on TRL :dr evil:
-
Bored... so im voting. Lol Alternating between her and Maroon 5.
-
Just wondering.. i know.. was it ordinary day, or pretty baby that someone made a generator thing to vote through....??
That would be a good idea if someone could do that for this video.. it owul dmake online voting go so much faster... esp. since i cant call their from the dorm phone here.. :-\'

So that's those Avril fans' secret...an automatic voting program would make this a whooole lot easier... :twisted:
-
ugh...these automated voting thingies show how unfair this TRL stuff is....I understand it's so hard to track but I wish it was 1 vote per person, then we really would see what videos the fans want to see...However, with that being said, if there was one made for VC I would use..hey, if you can't beat 'em join 'em..I guess....I'm so conflicted....
-
I have been in training this week so I have not been able to watch, but I do get in my phone votes.
I guess we still haven't made it yet, huh? :?
-
I missed TRL today, but I know yesterday she didn't make it, from what I caught of the show.
-
I just voted about 25 times online.
-
You go Steve!! :)
I am gonna put in a few before bed too.
If anyone else wants to...

-
when they first said they were gonna ask what the celeb's favorite subjects were, i was all, "oh god please let Vanessa be on this" then i heard her voice and went NUTS...suealing and straining my already hoarse voice (i have the flu right now lol)...But it WAS kinda cool to know that me and Vanessa have the same favorite subject. i LOVE English. :D

-
Awesome! Thanks for calling. I got my 6.
Yeah the TRL thing yesterday was cool. They also asked her about the best thing about going back to school and she said shopping for new clothes.
-
Well let's continue voting online. Her video still hasn't even made it "on deck" yet.
-
I'm trying to get as many votes in as I can now online before I retire :P...I hope she makes it! Can't wait to see her performance tomorrow :D

Man, my wrist is hurting because I have voted so many times on-line. :)
We must continue however! :D
-
I missed #10 and 9 yesterday but I hadn't heard any celebrating so I guess we are still missing it. The sad thing is they did a little thing where they showed (not the video just the name) up to #15 and still no "White Houses"

-
Sound like Carson, haha... maybe that's why I said it. Actually, I think that word is in my vocabulary again.
That would be cool if they could do that. She could say thanks for voting for me. But I usually hang up before the recording is done.
Well, Carson comes on every few months or so.
