Piano Crashing Comeback!!!
Heaven Hi!!!
Reinvention is wonderful when it is done in a positive way. With all these young entertainers in the need for help these days we look at one promising familiar artist who has made a comeback at the ripe age of only 27 years old.
At this point, viewers may feel a little deja vu: So far, the new video is a step-by-step copy of the one for her breakout 2002 single “A Thousand Miles.” Only this time, things go screwy. Carlton cracks a sneaky smile before skipping away, leaving the piano in the street. Seconds later, it gets creamed by a yellow taxi.
The destruction of the instrument is Carlton’s attempt to make a fresh start — plowing through a five-year-old image that got bigger than the artist herself.
“That image kind of trumped everything else. It became almost iconic — the girl and the piano,” says Carlton during an interview at an outdoor cafe near her apartment in the Nolita neighborhood of Manhattan. “They don’t know who I am, they don’t know the song, they don’t know any of it. But they know the traveling piano video.”
In order to open up a new future, you have to close the door to the past, and have to be present. In other words to be in a state of BOP. Carlton realized this at a very young age and decided to depict it with a type of ironic imagery. Her creativity is a great way to look at the six components of human behavior. Vanessa Carlton focuses on 50% of her humanities by feeling the need to productively move on with her live of music. 25% is her sexuality as it is a vital part of her appearance in perfomances on tour. The other 25% of her character is focused on humor by her subtle way she conveys her messages and opinions about moving forward in a balanced and healthy way. Since she is an entertainer it is vital for Vanessa Carlton to utilize these vital character components. Even if she has to demolish a piano or two.
Take a look at my book, Acting For Real, and see how you too can erraticate pianos, Wait, I was just joking. See how you can utilize the six components that make up human behavior in your own life. How to live a balanced, observent, and present life. As we say in Hollywood, action is lifes only command, so start now and learn how you can lead the life of a star.
Be BOP!!!
