5.0 out of 5 stars 1000 Miles I would Travel..., March 12, 2002

By	Tori Pearce (Portland, Or USA) - See all my reviews

...To see this girl play. Vanessa does a wonderful job on this two track cd. A Thousand Miles is a catchy song but after going through the two tracks way to many times to count I've found that Twilight has a bit of catchyness itself, because it is live the recording shows a lot more of her real voice rather than her studio voice that has been synthesized. Her talent shines through. She is out to show the world her true talent. She may not be as talented as Tori Amos and may be a more polished Michelle Branch but she has a style of her own not to be compared to any other piano player or any other musician for that matter. I can't wait for the full cd to come out so we can all see the full talent that she has.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, March 19, 2002

By	Deanna (Maryland) - See all my reviews

Late one evening I was watching videos on MTV and most of them were ones I had seen before and didn't interest me. But when Vanessa Carlton's video for "A Thousand Miles" came on, I was entranced. I asked myself "who is this girl?" Her amazing piano playing is what first caught my attention. I've never seen anyone play as well as she does. I was thrilled when I was shopping one day and saw the CD/single for it on sale, especially for such a low price. Another thing that pleased me is that she wrote the two songs on here ("A Thousand Miles" and "Twilight") by herself and probably did the same on her soon-to-be released debut album. Vanessa is extremely talented and deserves to be noticed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Have been waiting a long time for Vanessa's work..., February 16, 2002

By	"serapis-ny" (New Rochelle, New York United States) - See all my reviews

I first heard Vanessa on New York's Metro cable channel about three years ago. She was playing a small, intimate club, and from the first note I was captivated. As the first reviewer mentioned, she is quite appropriately being compared to Tori Amos. Her piano playing immediately channels Tori's earlier work [not the last album Tori did, which was HORRIBLE!!!]. I've seen her perform several times down in the Village, and she's even better in person. Ever since, I've been keeping a close eye out for the release of any of her music. The first sign was a song on the "Legally Blond" soundtrack, which turned out to be this single, "A Thousand Miles". Really good song, but in my opinion, the second song, "Twilight" is even better. It's very emotive, and to use Tori as a comparison again, it very much reminds me of her song "Winter".

At 1.99, these two songs are an absolute steal, and if the work on this is any indication, Vanessa will be a house-hold name by the end of 2002. You won't be dissapointed when you hear her. Run out and get this CD!

P.S. - She already has a following here in New York. I was lucky enough to get the second to last copy of this CD at the Tower Records on the Upper West side :)
