Now that the HOM video is out, which of V's videos is better:

Hands On Me- Gotta love V pining her heart away for her lover, and her skirt comes off! 8O

Nolita Fairytale- What's better than V finding a fairytale in her own neighborhood... unicorns, Rapunzel, and spiders Oh My! :)
and if you don't believe me... just Put Your Hands On Me

For me it's Hands On Me. I like the NF vid too but the HOM video has a really strong effect on me, and I really like the ending!
and if you don't believe me... just Put Your Hands On Me

I like "Nolita Fairytale" better, it's more active,  I kinda don't like that she is just lying down and playing the piano, it kinda reminds me the video better by regina spektor, the first one was really boring, no creativity. but I think the Hands On Me video could have been better.

Nolita Fairytale definately took a little more effort, I love the fantasy-style of it all. (Well of course. Nolita FAIRYTALE)
Hands On Me, I have to say disappointed me a little...a lot.
But it's still a very nice video.
That's what she said.

yous are so going to kill me. But I like Hands on Me better. I think its because I can relate fully right now. Its like you like someone you want them to embrace you, touch you, put their hands on you, but they are just there, you trust them enough to handle you and than they leave. I think HOM vid is a lot better than Nolita. 8)

NF...a new image for V and her telling us whats up with her life and that shes happy, well and found peace in Nolita.
HOM: In my opinion WONDERFUL! it's full of soul, love and compassion.

both are beautifully written, i love them and all of the soul and heartfelt words put into each line of the song!

Yes, I definately agree.
It really depends what mood you are in to like a certain music video.
All the reasons why songs and poetry and movies and everything are so sucessful, is because we RELATE to them. People can't reach for something they can't relate to, so they'd much prefer something they could find association with.
That's what she said.

Yeah but the poll isnt about the song its about the video and nolita fairytale is much better than hands on me. hands on me is a really wonderful song but the video falls short.

i didnt like the hands thing where shes reaching for the sky, i feel like i could've made that myself. and i didnt like where shes filming herself either. she appears to be somewhat melancholic throughout the entire video especially when the guy leaves at the end and her filming herself all happy is totally random.

hands on me is such an amazing song and im so disappointed by the video. this is honestly my least favorite Vanessa video. =/

Nolita Fairytale makes me feel like I ate a mushroom and was on a psychedelic trip...I don't like it.

Hands on me was absolutely beautiful, the poses, emotion, everything was brought together very well.

Nolita Fairytale: I think this was Nessa's best video, and she looked....happy. for her last few vids, i've seen her looking all sad, so this was definately a start of something new.

Hands on me: it's a beautiful song, and i can totally picture this music video for the song.....almost. but i felt the piano lost it's meaning, if that makes any sense, which it probably doesn't. like, the piano isn't as big a deal as it is, compared to her other music videos.

I personally liked NF better, but i would have to say, it's definately a close tie.

I love Hands on Me, but I voted for Nolita because I thought it was more fun to watch.
