DRRRR!  I caught the tail end of it this morning.  *Wishes she could have heard Afterglow*

I thought the show was great, but that Anastacia girl was awful.  I think Vanessa was thinking the same thing, and was just trying to be nice.

And she was truly not a big fan of Vanessa.  If I would have walked into a room and Vanessa was playing Afterglow, I would have either:

A) Died
B) Died
C) Died
or
D) Just freakin' listen.  Why the hell do you interrupt Vanessa Carlton playing a song that very few have heard before?!

Oh well, I didn't think any of them were really that good.  I liked the chick from NY myself.

when afterglow came on, i was like "awesome!" and i was screaming...lol i knew what it was called and all the lyrics, i was singing along, not like anastasia. "oh, is that a new song?" geez! its called AFTERGLOW .she didnt even know the song, im sorry, but if u get picked for something as big as this was-a once in a life time thing, then c'mon, at least learn " One Thousand Miles" lol she seemed like she hardly knew who vanessa was...in my opinion.

I think MTV picks casual fans on purpose... it honestly makes for more tv friendly responses... when you put a die hard fan with the artist, it changes the interaction.  Imagine if like Let was on there, the interaction with Vanessa wouldn't have been that "everyday" common fan feel.  The majority of fans who watch MTV and go to TRL and watch the crap MTV spoonfeeds people is meant for the common fan.  The CASUAL fan... so MTV picked the person they thought would portray that fan...


run on...

Plus she's from the Ukraine.  Of course she's not going to know a song that's only been played live twice.  Give her a freaking break.  She doesn't hardly speak English, so sue her for saying "One Thousand Miles".

ah ha!  not a bad idea...

but really.... i'm not trying to bag on her, i'm just very diff.

didn't people submit tapes for this contest?  wouldn't you know the song is "A Thousand Miles" if you had done the time to research the artist or the contest you're submitting your tape to?  *sigh*  i'm just saying, with the world of the internet, i would have made a point to know the name of the song, purchased the CD, read the name of the song and listened to it a couple times prior to submitting to do a duet

If i was going to do something, i would make sure i researched Vanessa, her songs, and everything prior to submitting a tape... then when Van was playing Afterglow instead of saying "oh hey, is that a new song?" i would say "Hey, you're playing Afterglow... very nice!"  :-P

I enjoyed how real she was tho, getting frazzled trying to learn her part and how she said she had to just stop for a bit.  Her compliment to Vanessa when she noted how Vanessa knew exactly what to say to help her learn her part was neat.

/ramble.  i watched it again today, this time from the beginning.  i dig how they showed her listening to each person and how she recognized the other gal was playing Chopin and she noted that it was a hard piece!  Go Vanessa with her classical style as well  :D

word, Katia!! There are mad resources out there. I would have been all over everything I could get my hands on about Vanessa.

For real mad impressed with the Chopin knowledge. But there you go, just like we would have known that was "Afterglow" she knew Chopin.

Nessamoron, Charles? if I remember correctly...nice comment. Unfortunately I cannot sing and can all but play the radio so yeah...no tape from me. I leave that to the pros, which Vanessa so is!!
