Thanks, AG. I wish I could've included all of the performances, but the background instrumental wasn't long enough. So, I decided to use the most 'memorable' ones. I don't think this vid even shows half of the media coverage for ATM. I hope it does some justice to its legacy.

Well, HOM music vid didn't have a plot either. Neither did ATM. WH did to some degree, but I could never grow tired of watching either of those three. Klasfeld directed both ATM & HOM, so I'm slightly disappointed that Bride isn't being released. And yes, Carousel was very pretty. Especially that leap during the final chorus! Davis hopefully will amaze us this time, as well.

Well, I'm technically a week late, but I have valid excuses. The actual anniversary date was 2/12! Anyways, I worked relatively hard on this project. 2 very late nights, and one full day. This is what happens when you devote yourself to an artist and his/her works, and when your friends leave school to go home for President's Day weekend.

Please enjoy (and share with other fans)! Tweet, facebook it, blog it, tumblr it, etc.

This is just to keep us posted on where HTB is going. Jake Davis just tweeted this pic this morning:

Jake Davis @JakeDavisFilms  
First shot off w/ @VanessaCarlton for Bells http://twitpic.com/8ljuuk

And Vanessa just tweeted this pic:

Never too old 2 waltz in a silk dress. Must do lil edie proud. Heard the bells today. Loud. And. Clear. http://t.co/XtQ9jlIQ

She's gorgeous! Another observation worth noting: V lost some weight! She looks like she's back in shape, must've been the dancing? I guess we'll be seeing her waltz through the graveyard

Manny is right. We need as many signatures as we can get to increase the chance of being noticed.

Her passing is one of the more tragic events of this decade. And also, to pay my respect to her, has anyone checked out her achievements on her Wiki page? I'm speechless.

Houston was the most awarded female act of all time, according to Guinness World Records.[3] Her list of awards includes two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, 22 American Music Awards, among a total of 415 career awards as of 2010. Houston was also one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 170 million albums, singles and videos worldwide.

Just had a thought. It seems unlikely that Vanessa herself could have changed her mind, and I am not trying to accuse her, but perhaps the end result of the Bride video wasn't living up to her expectations? Maybe it is a risk she decided not to take? (Of course there is many other possibilites as to why as well).

Reason I'm thinking about this is people seem to be blaming razor&tie for the stop on IDWTBAB... I don't know, it is all rather confusing.

I'm pretty sure Vanessa's tweet said R&T decided against bride.  I'd have to double check

edit: she tweeted "@razorandtie can't do bride"

GOOD SPOTTING.

I just don't understand "can't", it's more like won't.  It's not like they phsyically cannot release it or make it.

"Can't" suggests that they are, for whatever reason, unable to release the vid. If V instead used "won't", that would be indicate R&T are choosing to not release it. Both are vague in this context unfortunately, so we can't draw any conclusions.

VCarltonIndo have posted a link to a petition for the release of Bride, so if you want to possibly attempt to influence R&T sign it:

Thanks for sharing this! Manny is a gem for setting this petition up, and I've been meaning to share with everyone here, too. We only need 100 signatures, from what I remember. We'd only need a fraction of the Nessaholics here to sign. Thanks!

Question: what is this artwork people are referring to?  I've been kind of out of the loop but would like to see it.

Just saw her perform and met here a couple of nights ago. She was pretty much flawless. And one of the nicest and coolest people I've met. She wrote, "Let's go get high sometime…" on my cd. What. Amazing.

You are too lucky. I suppose you went to the SF venue? How was it?? If you have any pics or vids, could you possibly share with us?

Also, if April Fool's was nearing in, then I would be absolutely convinced she's kidding. However, we're still in February. Is there any chance that this could be a little.. hoax?

The "Bride" splashpage from her website has been taken down, so I'd say it's definitely true.  Stupid, but true. Haha

Yeah, that definitely suggests that this is actually happening. My mind hasn't completely come to terms with it, like a hard breakup.

Regarding the artwork, I think it's something like the girl leaning for a kiss?

Looks like she's just posing very boldly to me, like some kind of stride forward. I guess it can be interpreted as leaning in for a kiss.

This is lush. It also makes you dance when no one is watching. Enjoy, WASHED OUT Call It Off http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJsT9z03ZeI

She must like this band. She's RT them twice. Not bad stuff. I feel like I'm in a gorgeous 80's retro wonderland.
