Feruary 27, 2002, she performed at the Grammys.

You can also include the date when the nominations were announced but I don't know when that was.

What about Pretty Baby?
Title: August 16th 1980
Post by: liquidblue244 on January 08, 2007, 07:05:20 pm
How 'bout the day she was born August 16th 1980? That's pretty important....

thanks for the input, everyone.  i've added the above to the list, and anymore help/ideas would be great!

as far as the ordinary day single release date, both mtv and amazon.com have OD cd singles in their catalogues with original release dates of 1/1/02.  i also find it hard to believe that OD was released before ATM but that's the info i found...

the earliest release date i've been able to find for pretty baby is 2/10/03, which doesn't really make sense if it was on the top 40 earlier than that, does it?  so i don't know if there was an earlier version of the single that i haven't seen online or what.  i'm so confused! *lol*

'kay, back to researching...

I don't think it 'Ordinary Day' was released before 'A Thousand Miles', because I remember Vanessa saying how she wanted to release 'Ordinary Day' first, but the label persuaded her to go with 'A Thousand Miles'.

OD was absolutely NOT released before ATM- ATM is the single that got her famous, and i remember waiting in anticipation for the OD video to come out.

'kay...after finding v's report on a & m records online, i finally have the correct release date for ordinary day... according to a & m, ordinary day was released on 8/13/02, after having been "deleted" on 7/17/02, whatever that means (http://www.smileyvillage.com/smilies/confused0007.gif)
