[weetook4]

[purealba01]

Her music style reminds me of Sara Bareilles and Colbie Caillat..

Or rather, they remind me of her =D

[rappigonen]

vanessa carlton is better then vanessa carlton <33

[Gamecocklady87]

Awww.. makes me miss my college years so much. We all have secrets in white houses. :)

[jamiepeanut]

I remember when this video had like 1,000 views. Now it has over 5 mil. :D

[rory12349]

if beyonce had done this video the press would been going crazy about it, she got nothing

[runrockwater]

looooooooooooooooooooooove this song to pisses cant help it havent heard in a while but still love it

[MeinHerzBrennt313]

I just Love you Vanessa, I want to dance with ya any day. Watch we will meet I have a lot of friends in Manhattan and I'm from San Francisco so I live in the two cities you love. Plus we have so much in common it's strange this never happened ever before, this is no coincidence. Don't believe in them, just fate.

[lvansexy33]

Love this(:

[dance31115]

I've been dancing since I was 3 and I STILL am not even close to that

[nvmaddog1]

VEVO you're a piece of shit.

[rory12349]

@nvmaddog1 why?

[nvmaddog1]

@rory12349 Because of their never ending adds.

[rory12349]

@nvmaddog1 it's what funds the music though?

[nvmaddog1]

@rory12349 You realize vevo is relatively new correct? Youtube was funded just fine before them, google has more money than they can ever spend.

[rory12349]

@nvmaddog1 not as much went to the artist

[marlon6475]

Plus I love rock with all my heart so much

[marlon6475]

Is funny how all this people talk about Vanessa dudes she is nobody because nobody can see that she has alot of talent she got to much to offer is just the fucking people dont like good music

[leopsyr]

love this song my first

[xoxopattybear92xoxo]

LIKE IF UR LISTENING TO THIS IN 2012 :D

[HammaRecords]

@xoxopattybear92xoxo yes thumbs uo in 2012

[LilyDiSilvestro]

whose that guy just awkwardly standing in the corner..?

[clearmusician]

@LilyDiSilvestro mannequin.

[HammaRecords]

@LilyDiSilvestro i think is a mannequin

[ashleyhersh9]

this song is also about her being jealous of her friend jenny. "jenny screams out and its no joke, cuz when she dances she goes and goes, beer through the nose on an inside joke, and im so excited i havent spoke yeah, and shes so pretty and shes so sure maybe im more clever than a girl like her..."

[ashleyhersh9]

this song is about vanessa losing her virgintity when she was in ballet school, she lost it to "Jenny's" boyfriend. "white houses" is refering to her dance school and being pure.

[TheShad000001]

that awkward moment where im a dude and I jus loooove this song....im str8 tho..the concept of the song is jus *speechless*

[kevdude357]

1:39

Is that real?

[leahmichelle69]

@kevdude357 im guessing so!! just lotsa dance training.

[merrymaddie]

This song gives me chills. Every time.

[CWrEcKBoY92]

@merrymaddie smh just experienced that feeling again lol

[starsinsaturn]

wow, took me this long to notice there's a guy standing on that wall... haha.

[rappigonen]

vanessa carlton reminds me of a book "jane air" <33

[megsweetie17]

What is this song about i never knew?

[TheViolinmusiclover]

hey does anybody notice the creepy guy in the corner?

[jurkeynumber2]

This song is really good and Her dancing was really good!

[Sylviabluebird]

This song is so good anyone agree?:P

[teddybalgos]

is there a rope in her hips???

[MeinHerzBrennt313]

I will win not only her heart, but also her love eternal.

[joycek207]

1:12 HOW?!

[danbay26]

She's the perfect woman.

[amaka405]

2:12 sexy moonwalk!! xx Oh i love this angel!! xx

[amaka405]

[MissRoxieRiku]

[chinamap]

@MissRoxieRiku OMG ME TOO

[KiTTYKlaW77Cakes]

I was in love with the Harmonium album.Got me through aloooottttt

<3

[birbanto24]

wowww she is actually trained in classical dance i can notice that! not a pro but she looks good

[JapanNanaka]

@birbanto24 She's a kind of pro, she's been in ballet schools since she was 9. (wiki) No wonder she's wonderful both as a singer and a dancer.

[rappigonen]

i love vanessa carlton she's so cute and beautiful <33

[Savannahspeak]

i hate how rebecca black gets millions of views a day but this amazing video has been out forever and it only has 5 million

[superblottie]

This song's so sad, but I love it anyway x

[Bernardgerrard]

nice!!



[theawesomeartist01]

This makes me wanna dance!!! :)

[chocothundaish]

She's amazing at dancing!

[nanobotfreak]

she has a really high pitched voice, but its still pretty

[HIM47]

Man this song always gets me pumped!

[theawesomeartist01]

GO Vanessa Carlton. She looks so graceful!! Anyone agrees?

[pedrobast]

@theawesomeartist01 she's the woman of my life... I love the way she looks.

[LadyLoveBlood]

Her dancing is truly mesmerizing. :D

[anonnemus]

no way some of those moves are possible...not without some kind of support.

[elisewoahx]

i love this song because its so real

[PleaseDrinkMeAlice]

haha she moonwalked!:D

[rappigonen]

i love to be virgin, its feels so good <33

thank you vanessa, because of you i am a virgin for ever <33

[silentxnight]

the moonwalk is epic.

[exoticcar5482]

why is she so underrated? everyone who uses the auto-tune plug-in is so overrated! any auto-tune is her songs? NO! why do all the crappy auto-tuned songs get to be popular and have hundreds of millions of views and this song, despite being full of talent, ever become a hit and only gets 1 million views?

[dance31115]

This used to be me and my best friends song.... but she leaved me for the populars...

[xxmysteryxxx]

She's not dancing ballet, it's modern. A more rough and emotional filled routine. Like lyrical, it's a mixture of jazz and ballet.

[AWildMusicSoul]

@xxmysteryxxx I totally agree.. but I think all types of dance are equally emotionally filled.

[shikinoutaluv]

I remember this song, it brings back the best memories for me...the melody is so cute and laid back..

[daysfan213]

i think the Piano Vanessa is the older one the one telling the story and Ballet Vanessa is the younger immature one who the story is about. just sayin

[alemolano123]

Im in a dance group and I have to dance ballet and tap so for the ballet Im learning from this video ♥

[Daisey238]

Window open,sunsetting. *sigh* ilove this song =)

[Catherine007111]

I think the two sides represent the past and present. Piano V. is judging her past (dancer v.) The pants being uneven show how she has made mistakes and isn't perfect. She is ashamed 9when we walks away from the piano) and can't believe what she has done. That is why she is looking at her the way she is, curiosity and regret

[hungergameslover28]

She seductively*

[hungergameslover28]

I think the dancer represents 'Jenny'.. If you watch, the dancer climbs on the piano she.difficult.crawls to Vanessa and Vanessa curious watching the dancer (aka Jenny) and sweetness to just be watching her, kinda getting turned on. Just a thought.

[FloralGarden18]

pretty :)

[TheShhSecret]

I am so in love with this song.

[mdfiasco]

She's in a gang...like LL Cool J.

[tootsielovr]

o.o her pants aren't even.......ahhhhhhhhhhh stupid OCD!!! i cant watch this

[ConflictedTessie]

@tootsielovr lmfao

[Distractions13]

@Fireheariceeyes No go search the carlton sister, Twins

[PianoPlayer4570]

@Distractions13 No, it's the same person. They film both parts individually and then put them together in the final edit.

[Distractions13]

They are not the same people, they are twins.

[FireheartIceeyes]

@Distractions13 No it is Carlton. She is a dancer

[nonchalantd]

Damn, so she can sing, write, play, AND dance?

[jon88tryfan]

That 'guy' in the corner.. .... Pretty sure that's a mannequin

[hil0o0o0]

For years I thought Hilary Duff sang this(I obviously hadn't seen the video)

[billnye518]

love this song. she's able to touch real and true emotions

[Mysterygal08]

Is there a point to the guy in the corner. Not trying to be ignorant, but I just want to know if anyone knows if it has significance to the song or video. On another note, she has an amazing voice and a very brilliant dancer!

[xolovexo57]

@Mysterygal08 where's the guy in the corner??

[SuckMyRightToe]

@xolovexo57 Just after the 3:30 mark, hard not to notice when you look out for it though it's somehow escaped my observation through all the times I've watched it too

[manuelestuardo89]

@Mysterygal08 maybe it just happened to be there.

[girlclasse]

@Mysterygal08 Ever consider that the mannequin is just a bystander? This is could be significant in the way that Vanessa is battling her out her differences in the music vid (hence, the double shots of her at the piano, and dancing), and the mannequin is just witnessing. Anyone in this situation is just witnessing her story unravel. At the end of the day, it's all left for artistic interpretation. That's just how I see it.

[002sprinkles]

itd be cooler if the girl in black started to play the piano and then the main chick would starts dancing a lil switch-a-roo (and yes i am aware that they are the same ppl duh)

[3rdinoshikachoV2]

I like how maybe 1% of the comments are ctritizing the involvement of sex in this song and the rest of that 99% talks about "how it's so ufair that people hate this song even though she is so amazing for singing about sex with so much depth and emotion while songs these days are so slutty and blah blah blah my comment is so insightful yakidy-yak-yak-yakers."

[Prymification]

favorite music video of her <3

[TheSkellington100]

that random guy in the corner >__>

[Candy2545]

Other than the fact that Vanessa can put something like sex into such a simple and beautiful light is amazing, but then there's the way she makes it so easy to relate to. I love how sweet she managed to make it, and I have no idea why anyone would ever think such a talented artist is slutty. This song is beautiful <3

[fantagedeliah800]

I can do that thing on 1:11

[TheJaxFallen]

freakin love this songg! me and my gf's ball dance(: freakin love her tooo!!

[OfficialCarly]

she's SUCH an AMAZING dancer! :O <3

[fantagedeliah800]

wow she can dance

[SammyAMusician]

I think Vanessa Carlton is gorgeous and she is very talented singer!

[rappigonen]

to be a virgin for many years and play the piano all the time its very difficult.

because i am a virgin and play the piano all the time. <33

[TheIsobel51]

Love, or something ignites in my veins,

And i pray it never ends.

Why is that line so awesome? x)

[kmrw11]

i freaking love this song

[tinkerbell716]

Holyy she can sing, play piano and DANCCEE. sick.

[GRJ95]

this video makes want to learn how to dance ballet :D it looks so cool

[DuoInCaroUno]

@GRJ95 This isn't real ballet.. That is call Contemporaneo in spanish, but I don't know who you call it :) (I'm SO sorry for my BAAAD English D:)

[kungfoolai]

wow, this is the 2nd song ive heard from her, i didnt think she could write such a heartfelt song... but this was really meaningful and epic, love it :)

[flowr96]

Her voice sounds like Hilary Duff!:D

[Quay4MVP]

@flowr96 oh hell naw

[flowr96]

@Quay4MVP Oops.Sorry :D

[purplebutterflygirl]

I remember when this first came out. I was 13 and loved it instantly. I used to try to dance along to the ballet, but I am no dancer so I am sure that it looked awful. hehe.

[leonardo23634]

apesar de linda canta muito bem parabens!!!

[xHearterx]

and god her voice is so pretty too. it has such a unique sound to it

[xHearterx]

she is so pretty!! and I love her vibe! it's so unique and you can tell she's such an amazing person

[marmify17]

1:13 POWER TO YA GIRL

[saakther14]

she looks so much like my friend valeria..

[ambre15]

Ok...I just noticed the black guy standing in the corner at 0:23. Mad creepy.

[PamitaPhiola]

@ambre15 Yep saw it too, and right after he disappears. Whoops a mini failure.

[destinaj234]

@ambre15 its a mannequin....

[JGoutify]

@destinaj234 I don't think it's a mannequin. At 2:41 you can see his white shirt moving. He put's his hips forward. But you have to really look. Maybe it's just some wind blowing ...

[Dinoxdeath]

She is such an amazing dancer and singer. I used to listen to here for days. She is so talented and absolutely gorgeous!

[kinusakina]

the way her body moves is mesmerising. And so much for all the controversies around the lyrics. If this had been released in 2012 no-one would have blinked.

I love the message behind the video. It's so simple, and so beautiful. ugh. I love it.

[AmethystLunitari]

I remember when I first saw this, I saw Vanessa approaching Vanessa, then seductively crawling across the top of the piano. I thought she was going to make out with herself or something. Anyone who watched this video knows she didn't. But it would've been interesting. ;)

[whosesaturn]

been watching this vid since 04 and will never know whos that person in the white in the background....kinda creepy O_O

[dannyyspencerr]

is this like a kind of black swan/white swan situation in relation to the context? it's really beautiful and i think it sparked controversy because it actually gave meaning to sex..... unlike Nicki's "Stupid Hoe" or other stuff that's out now. People are just singing about it like it's whatever. Vanessa is putting meaning to something that should be felt with more than skin.... This was really beautiful and I like it

[kSuNsHyN3]

i love this song >.< since the day i first heard it its so beautiful ('; i can relate.. ;

[leopsyr]

2:12

michael jackson o.O

[nihome85]

Many people don’t know this, but Vanessa did took ballet when she was a kid all the way through her teenage years, and let me tell you…this girl has more talent than many have seen. Love the video and the song. We all went through it somehow.



[MrLrndlph]

@nihome85 She is actually classically trained in ballet, that was her first love. But between the structure and rigidity of classic ballet and her mother being a pianist and music teacher, we were lucky enough to have her switch interests. :)

[ngardne2]

that little backbend thing at 1:40 is so sick

[distortedponyy]

I'd like to white her house if you know what I mean.

[emmanisms]

its really a no big deal!

[Crazyismygame]

0:30 Ninja!

[AllRLove]

When i was about 6 years old I would sing and listen to this song all the time.. i had no idea what it was about though BUT now im 13 and i get it....... O.O

[SuperSpeciallk]

This song is about purity. As in 'white' being a pure color. But this song also is telling when she lost her virginity to a guy at a camp who she loved, but he didn't love her.

[FlubberNub]

203 people live in plaid houses!!!

[justmechrista]

this song is seriously my first semester of college... im brought to tears when i hear this song.

[ordinarigrrrl]

@justmechrista Are you reading my mind? Lmfao, I'm sitting here crying over my first semester right now ..

[KoolAidKammers]

@ordinarigrrrl Oh, no. I know that this comment wasn't originally to me, but-- Don't worry. Things will get better for you. Use your pain to fuel you, for the rest of life's journey. You can do it. :D

[MsBudgies]

Omg....I didnt know this song was about her first time and etc.

I just liked the tune and her voice when I was younger and i realize the lyrics are amazing!!!

Very well thought out and beautiful <33

I don't see the need to bash on her it's a very nice song xxxxxx

[MrYoy]

LOL, if you think this song is too promiscuous then you have a pretty fu*cked up view on sex, and are pretty narrow minded. I get that if you're from the 17ht century this might be a bit to much, but as long as you were born some time during the last 100 years you should see that it's a pretty good story and far from being bad. "my first mistake", know the lyrics, she said it was a bad thing, a mistake, so if anything it sends out a good message to young girls, and boys for that matter.
