I like it but i'm not a big fan of it though, yeah V does look very sexy but I definitely was expecting something a lot more artsy and bursting with wonderful cinematography. But i do like the video and the ending part was awesome... I just wish it could have been a little bit more than this. < hehe sorry about that

I agree a bit. THere was a brief moment where it felt like something huge was going to happen, but did not. But I love the meassage behind it and I think this video captured and portrayed the song and its meaning so well. Its pretty good I think. 9/10

I think it's boring for the most part. And lacks storyline. Was it that hard to show a video exchange?

It's a cheap video. And I really didn't like it when she was filming herself, took it even more to a cheap level. And the undressing part was random.

I do feel it's a continuation from the NF video. As she says that each single is a chapter (of the record.)

The caressing of V's face was so gentle it was very religious, like she was being blessed, and then with V singing about the religious figure, the dalai lama, I'm like "Woah, is V getting down with the dalai lama?"  To me, there are  subtle shades of Madonna's "Like a Prayer" in this video.  This vid will probably be the "Pretty Baby" of the "Heroes and Thieves" era, although I have to say that V looks very beautiful.

I do like the part where they showed the sky with the trees, but that was the most beautiful scenery it got to.
I actually do think it's a nice video, but I agree that it could be a lot more exciting.
I mean, I woke up early to see a video that almost put me to sleep again!
But that's not really a bad thing.

Still, I enjoyed it.

Hugely disappointed...What happened to her not having to take her clothes off to sell? Is sex going to become a part of her music? I pray not...The video was above and beyond cheap, fairly pointless, and yet it could have been amazing even without money.

I liked it but I kind of felt like..nothing really happens? especially in contrast to white houses and notlita fairytale where she is moving and dancing loads. I was waiting for her to get up off the bed and start walking around or something!

Lack of storyline, in my oppinion.
But I like it. Speacially the very end with all those couples.
Third video of vanessa where gay couples appear! So cool!

^^Does that mean she's gay!?!?! :razz: :lol: JUST KIDDING!
She obviously supports gay rights though :) Which is tottaly  fine! :D

And as far as the video goes...

It was too sexual for my liking....

I expected more piano playing and dancing...
and a DEFINITELY didn't expect her to be laying on the bed the whole time...
it was kinda annoying!!!!
and half the time you could only see her hands...or the side of her head....
but it's a Nessa video and I LOVE that song...
so its okay! :)

Seriously don't you guys think the wodka and redbul was neat. First thing I noticed.

I was expecting when she was reaching her hands in that forrest that someone would pull her. But it didn't happen..

And I actually think that the couples at the end are too much, it's like flashflashflashflashflash.

i really like it...i think it's so vanessa...first off she's not showing some skin just to sell... nudity is part of of art, not all sexually. She mentioned in one of her interviews that she could do nude pictures and thats not because she wants to sell, it's how she is. the nude painting in her apartment?... it's her style.. kind of a care-free attitude... we shouldn't expect her  to be like before... she's growing as years passed by, and things changed... as for us , her fans, it's either we think like a 10-year old or be matured, know better than getting all closed-minded... it's is just my opinion... if you really paid attention watching the vid... it's not cheap, it's sexy in an artsy and sophisticated way... the simplicity makes it genuine...^_^


right now im just so thankful that she never left us behind....  she still do this stuff for us...sell or not...

Except sex sells, spirtuality doesn't. lol

The video's not what I expected, but it's hot. The garter belt is all kinds of sexy. When she's lying on the bed though, her eyes are like, half-open and she's barely lip-synching - which I suppose is to create the affect of her day dreaming, but it also kind of makes her look cracked out, squirming in that bed like that. Haha.

Anyways.

I like this more adult side that she's displaying, she's incredibly sexy in this video and cleanly avoids being portrayed as slutty in any way. It's tasteful, simple, and poignant. And that's what I like about this video.

But when the guy was like, stroking Vanessa's face and they were grabbing each others hands and what not I was kinda like, "lol WHO DOES THAT. Shit grab her legs, look at those suckers, I'd want to grab those."

And you know Marc Klasfeld has been patting himself on the back for the ending of this video, I bet he thinks he's so clever. lol

holly cow shit.. someone i could agree with..:) i also agree with your explanation...^___^ cuz its true..
and yea i guessed it's her day dreaming the whole time of the guy she met at the video exchange. (following the phrase)"i'd lie awake at night for you, i pray"......................

I think that's what she said :lol:LOL

maybe im mistaken but anyway yeah...i think she has it in her apartment cause her grandfather painted it....
but that doesnt mean it hasnt grown on her... :razz:

i think that nudity and sexuality is, in a way, art....
but it depends how it is portrayed...

in HOM, it was shown in a very respectable way...

i just didnt really like seeing Vanessa laying in bed the whole time, cause it was kinda of boring...shes like waiting for him to come and join her maybe ? :lol: LOL
And i dont really mind it being art and all, but like for instance...i didnt really have to see him unzipping her skirt and taking it off.... :lol:
thats just my opinion! :) :D

Video was pretty hot, I liked it, could have had a bit more going on though I got a little bored half way through (until Vanessa's little moment at the end). I liked how it was sexy but classy at the same time.

This vid should get her some pretty good attention
8.5/10 for me

true but i think the vid was not supposed to show what was written in the lyrics..
it showed her lying in the bed the whole time and day dreaming of the guy she really likes, crossing oceans, dalai lama, climbing tibetan mountains and and them having a decendants (chlidren) that grown old...
the whole surreal story in it were assumed to be just in her thinking...and it'll definitely look boring...
but was put in a very honest way... the little sexuality is part of it...(kind of a human thing..lol..) that some of us could probbly relate with...^_^

unfortunately, the vid was made in a different way as opposed to what most think it'll turn out..
but i anticipate that the lyrics with full of colors and amazing images to picture ARE FOR US TO IMAGINE, and vanessa in the vid is doing just the same...^_^

She could have done so much with this song. It is so spiritual and she pretty much killed it with this video.

I noticed how some of the lyrics don't correspond with her mouth movements and the piano didn't correspond to the track! It was poorly made. It filmed her sitting on a bed with a garter on.

It was bad. Very bad.

I was just a bit disappointed. There wasn't much to it... I pictured this video so epic, then i saw it, and that vision shattered. It was alright but, nothing spectacular. I thought they'd play a little more of the grass and forest scene. I don't know, it just didn't grasp me in that "nessa" way/

Woah wait what? The parts where she was moving her lips out of sync wasn't just my computer lagging? Was it supposed to give a dreamlike effect because now that I see it that way, it seems to give the video a cheap editing feel. I thought it may have just been the youtube vids but both I saw had the same effect.

Still a nice video all in all, too bad it doesn't seem to be being recieved well  :(

i think this is a better link.. it's to the yahoo vid, but through another site: http://www.dailymotion.com/country:us/video/x4dqyr_vanessa-carlton-hands-on-me_music

i like it.. it's cute. and she's really damn hot.

the song's so damn short though. but so's the album. at least, it feels really short.

I love the song, but the video is only okay.
Nothing special. Better than the Nolita Fairytale video in some respects.

I honestly think the ONLY good Vanessa Carlon music vid has been A Thousand Miles. She seems so reluctant to tell stories with her videos even though the songs are such narrative affairs.

Post by: Zloska_of_yy on February 15, 2008, 02:57:56 pm
Hmmm not that bad. I like the atmosphere of the video for the most part and the way it was shot. It almost has a sort of vintage feel which I really like. Also, I think Vanessa showcased how you can be sexy and classy at the same time.
However, there are some things that really bother me. It is slightly boring, I mean hardly anything happens. Also, when Vanessa is on the bed it either focusses on her upper body or her lower body (read: skirt and garter belts) which seems to me a very cheap way to convey "sexy".
Also the "homevideo" bit at the end felt incredibly pointless and out of place with respect to the rest of the video. That's my major gripe really.
Small things that bugged me: Vanessa has no neck, because of her hair when the touching begins and I don't like the guy's hands, but that's just me.

Oh and big yay for the lesbian and gay couples!

i have always thought this and this video really proves it, vanessa is very victorian, the clothes she wears, and just the way she looks, i love the victorian era, and the lace blouse, and "underwear" [they werent really underwear in my opinion, more like a really short pair of pants or skirt] were both the victorian style, as well as the piano and room she was filmed in.

and unlike others, i really like the calmness, and focus on vanessa Carlton, i mean it is Hands On Me by Vanessa Carlton, it should be about her. again another vanessa original that i love! yay! it is beautiful, i could watch it over and over again and fall in love with it even more each time!

well, i'm not really sure that'll happen. maybe it will though, but just a chance. there is obvious sexuality here but not in the way that most "popular" videos are done nowadays... which is a shame really because this more mature and romantic. Maybe a lot of people will really fall in love with it... it's just an iffy video in terms of popularity.

Post by: Bigtuna on February 15, 2008, 03:41:38 pm
To me, watching it a 3rd time, I think the big kicker is that the tempo of the video really kills the building nature and fast tempo of the song. When the chorus first comes in, the video is still going with slow shots of her grabbing grass and reaching from the bed. The lyrics are so imaginative and yet you get pictures of her laying in a bed and reaching out with shots of grass...

Everything in the video moves so slow even when the song moves so fast.

I still think it could have been done so much better...even if they "dumbed" down the content...

I think this video could've been her walking around a video exchange and climbing Tibetan mountains and cargoing across the sea, intercut with the piano and her lying on the bed. The couples thing was pretty cool though, but the skirt thing and the shots of her running around with the camera at the end during the CLIMAX of the song... I mean, come on.

I think Vanessa needed to be a lot more passionate with the guy, same thing with the other couples,they should have matched the intensity of the music, the choreographed touching takes away the emotions of the song. There are too many scenes of her almost still in bed or over the piano. Even with a low budget I definitely expected more from the video. And the whole "guy in imagination comes and goes away" was already done in Ordinary Day, I would love to see the video doing well on tv, but I doubt it will =(

I feel like this same concept could have been used for White Houses. Hands on Me needs something much more epic.

i like it a lot. the end part with all the people was really cool. when the hands were on V's face it looked almost awkward, like he was shy or something. but the rest was really good.

i agree...lol... mybe because the nhs expected more from it since we imagine the lyrics that have a lot of things going on... and we've heard of it many times...
but i'll "bow" for the simplicity of this music video... it just shows how many ways we can view Vanessa as an artist.... it's just something different from her last vids which showed many symbols and images,,,,
this time it's all her in the reality of delusioning... that made it special..[:

Lack of storyline, in my oppinion.
But I like it. Speacially the very end with all those couples.
Third video of vanessa where gay couples appear! So cool!


oh really? that's awesome, i never noticed it before! which ones are the others?


Ordinary day and Pretty baby.
Lots of gay couples in OD.
In PB, watch the party guests carefully.


Are there really gay couples on Ordinary Day? :o , I've never seen any.


There isn't any gay couple in OD, I've always thought that they should have done that...
And in PB, what can you see? a boy touching the other boy's chin? meh.

I still don't know about the HOM video... I liked the grass thing..the redbull thing, the without skirt thing XD..and the end thing. But it's what some say, you wait to something good or beautiful to happen but...instead you see that guy hands with that wtf green huge jacket...

I may have to go with the "I think they wasted the song...".

Can't wait to see it sync do, maybe i will change my mind ^^

of course there are gay couples in OD.
Check it out carefully (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJD5UddPVd8).
Give it a look at 2:02 minutes.THere are more, but I'm too sleepy to find'em.
And in PB, it's obvious that they're lovers.

I just have to say that Vanessa's hair is totally fierce.

I kinda expected something, more, for the lack of a better term, epic. That I'd get to the end of the video and say, "Whoa." And to have to watch it over and over again to get the full effect. I think the song was too, I dunno, the song really told a story, and I think the video was way too--general--for such a song.

Wow, I really need to expand my vocabulary.

Come on, that's a girl and a boy, you can see the hair in the armpit and no, it's not a shadow, and he has a boy body... There isn't any gay couple in that video, at least that they show in a close-up.

I know that in PB they are lovers, just saying "meh".  :wink:

Yup! I was talking to her a few minutes ago, she said:

all i can say is
vanessa carlton is a sweetheart, kind and genuine.
she's talent
she is more beautiful in person
Im excited they used me a lot
they filmed like 15 couples
and i was the last one up
and they warned us we may not all be used
we didn't know what we had to act out
becuase they alway have Confidentiality Contracts
so as not to spoil it
and they were like we need two guys to pair up together
and two girls
and we were like Wha? that's dope they are respresenting for all
but what are we doiiing???

thats from Medic's upload of the vid and it has 9,458 views. I think this is  pretty good for it being up what 2 days? plus if that one above site put it up, a popular gossip blog and liked it, thats good publicity. I think people will listen to the song simply by the name of it or knowing its V than once they hear it they will get hooked! b/c its got some great hooks in it!

Oh, V - I love this video! Even more than I love the actual song. Yes, I'm biased because of the sweet nod to the gays ... and because you toured with Stevie Nicks ... and because you smoked pot every day ... but it's still an amazing video, I swear!

Vanessa Carlton's second single from her Heroes And Thieves album has me loving her all over again - and not longing for "1000 Miles" quite as much. - NewNowNext

Of course I know that! That's why we have to keep sending him e-mails! He said that that's the only way he takes notice of it, out of all those e-mails. Sending one or two isn't gonna do anything.

So keep sending! Perez said it himself. Also I have a feeling he doesn't have interestest in V so we have to evoke some!

I think the video is great! Like most of you I was hoping for something a bit more, but its really growing on me. The ending is awesome, too.
I did send an email to Perez too. I sent him a few songs  of Nessa's when Harmonium came out, and he actually emailed me back and said thanks for the suggestions and that he liked Vanessa! So i think there's a very good chance that he will post her video.

I think the video is great! Like most of you I was hoping for something a bit more, but its really growing on me. The ending is awesome, too.
I did send an email to Perez too. I sent him a few songs  of Nessa's when Harmonium came out, and he actually emailed me back and said thanks for the suggestions and that he liked Vanessa! So i think there's a very good chance that he will post her video.


That's nice to know! So he is interested, awesome! Let's see if will put it up soon.
Title: V's Feet ?
Post by: Barry on February 17, 2008, 11:09:48 am
Anyone else notice in the video that her feet look kind of weird ?  Like maybe her toes are messed up from the ballet dancing ?  I do love the video, though, V looks ESPECIALLY beautiful in it (except for those feet lol)

I love the video! It's simple... which I think fits well! The feeling of passion through someone simply putting their hands on you is amazing and I think this video (and song) captured it well. Plus, she's beautiful in it!

Err not a big fan. I like the part where she is leaning over the piano like she's thinking while playing and the end with all the people, but everything in between is kind of boring. Her face looks strange from the lying down angle & the guy's hands almost looks plastic at some points... it's definitely not "loving" or "romantic" seeming, it's pretty contrived looking. But I'm not sure she got a huge budget either, you know? =\

It wasn't exactly what I expected, but then again I didn't have that clear of a picture of what I thought it would be. I like it though, and I think it suited the song really well. HOM is such a down to earth, lie down and stare at the ceiling type of song that I think if it had a big story line and such, it would have been overdone. Plus the whole concept of the people touching each other, and staring at the sky thing was really neat  :D

I'm not a huge fan of the beginning of the video... I do like how she is portrayed as thinking about being outside.

I REALLY like the ending! I think that was such a great idea. I think it's classy, I don't think it's inappropriate as some comments say on youtube... All she does is take off her skirt, and she is still fairly clothed.... especially compared to most videos. I'm in the opinion that if you are too immature to be watching it.. then don't. Have your parents go put in a Disney movie for you. If that is too inappropriate for someone, then why are they on youtube when there is a LOT in inappropriate stuff there...

And yes, way too much homophobia on youtube...

Agree on that, it's nothing really sexual about that (eventho I still don't quite understand why put such scene in it) compare to those rap/hip hop vids..

Did he seriously? That's really funny.

And I meant "now", not "know", by the way.

And I don't think that this video should have been any more "dramatic", per say - love is not really an insanely dramatic thing, is it? Or at least to the people that aren't involved. I think they found a way to make this video apply to -everyone- and give meaning to -everyone- instead of sensationalizing it like they could have done.

in terms of the sexuality shown... i don't really understand the reaction to vanessa's videos. yeah, so pretty baby had bondage, white houses talks about losing your virginity, hands on me has her wearing a garter belt.

i don't really understand how you can compare that, with lyrics (and videos, etc that support them) like this..

"Ooh na na naa naa im so horny and i want you to fuck me im tired of masturbatin got my body shakin no orgasm fakin wit me *ooh na na naa naa im so horny and i want you to fuck me" - lil jon & the eastside boys, "Ooh Na Na Naa Naa"

there are more examples. this is the first i found. i don't know if this is a single, or something they put on tv, but everytime you look at mtv or some music channel, all you see are asses and tits, and you hear people talking about sex.

personally, i don't really give a shit. i don't watch, i don't really listen.. but when you ban something that an artist that i love has created, in favor of complete smut, it makes me angry.

I think people are starting to use common sense!
The video, although has a slow start, is a really good one. I think the lingerie she's wearing is extremely classy. Though I'm not totally sure why he's taking off the skirt and how it adds to the video, not the song, I'm sure she'll explain it sooner or later.

And you can't forget the song. It's amazingly thoughtful, and the lyrics...they're not direct.
You have to really look into them.

it's so depressing isn't it? it's like they're scared of sex to do with love and real lives, but if it's like a porn film it's ok? it's weird. And you either have to go all out and take your clothes off in every video and always talk about sex, but if you're like vanessa and you don't do that then when she does it's like...get back in your box young lady.

You guys pidgeonhole vanessa carlton as some innocent beautiful teenager when infact shes now a young woman who has every right to explore her sexuality and be sexual. One day shes gonna do some video where shes naked or something and there will be an uproar that shes selling out, but I believe everything shes done in relation to sex has been very artistic.
Title: Hands On Me Video (discussion)
Post by: iluvvanessa on March 02, 2008, 07:45:53 am
I don't think she will do full on nudity unless it has a special meaning in a song that she wrote and is played in an artistic way.

I watched an interview where she showed a shirt that hardly showed any skin and said "This is as naked as i get." I really love and respect her for not giving into that because all of the other music videos have it. Yes she took off her skirt, BIG DEAL! shes 27 years old, it's legal for her to do much more worse things than taking off a skirt, and i truly thought that brought a lot more drama to the song.

I think it brought it's own point across.  For it to be less boring and still be the same video it would have had to have more nudity in it.  :wink:   But then people would have griped about that.

Many people would argue that if you are going to bring up the sensuality/sexuality as a subject it should be rounded enough to include all orientations. Which is maybe why you have that in the video.

no time to type more...
