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.

Was "Ordinary Day" really released as a single before "A Thousand Miles"?

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.

"Ms. Jones taught me English, but I think I just shot her son
Cause he owed me money, with a bullet in the chest you cannot run
Now he's bleeding in a vacant lot
The one in the summer where we used to smoke pot
I guess I didn't mean it
But man you should of seen it
His flesh explode"
