Vanessa Carlton Has Roman Hands

March 7th, 2008 // 6 Comments


I am not going to lie to you people: that Janet Jackson video where the guy reaches into her pants and pulls out some sort of jewelry made, uh, a big impression on me as a teenager. And this Vanessa Carlton video also spoke to me in some deep and unfathomable way. Don’t get too worried when the creepy disembodied hands start playing Chester the Molester with Ms. Carlton around the 1:40 mark–there’s patronizing multiculturalism to come! [YouTube]

    I would hate to see the “dateline black light” test for that bedding.

    The morphing at the end wasn’t as good as Black or White. Close.

    The Janet Jackson video you’re referring to is “Again” from janet. She was wearing a belly chain–and I’m shocked that those things didn’t die out in the 90s.

    And the dude in the video is Gary Dourdan from CSI. And A Different World around the time that the ratings declined for that show, but CSI.

    Piano rock reference overload! Sloan ftw!

    It’s too late to apologize, Vanessa Carlton.

    (is anyone else hearing major echoes of that song here?)

    (I’m referring to the Timbaland mix, of course)
