"Vanessa carlton is a really good singer who writes, playes, and sings her own music. Also unlike britney spears, vanessa uses her talent and not her looks to be a really good role model."
One of the BEST singles to come out this year

"I'm still not tired of hearing "A thousand Miles" played on the radio.The fast pace Piano playing of Carlton,the fantastic Orchestration breaks in between the hook,and one of the coolest video's I've seen without having a half naked artist on the film."
Awesome Song!

"As I've said before.... Vanessa is not a wannabe. She's not a reflection of Alicia Keys. So don't judge her before you hear her. Vanessa's got a real deep passion for her music. Just listen to Twilight, it's live too on this CD-single. Listen as she pours her heart out as she plays her piano and sings. Vanessa of course, left the impression that after
releasing "A Thousand Miles" the rest of her songs would have the same weight. If you haven't heard her CD "Be Not Nobody" then I'll explain what I'm talking about. "A Thousand Miles" is more lively and vibrant with the orchestral background, but once you listen to "Twilight" her music has also got a dark side. It's just her voice and her piano. When I heard this song, I just had to learn it, because I also play piano. Sure it was easy to learn but
it's not like it's easy to come up with the tune of a song and then come up with the melodies. It really can be complicated, So she really does deserves the credit for her awesome talent in composing. The "Wanted" remix is cool, but I don't really like the song, but it's still great. It's mostly her voice but has cool background. Kind of like an urban edged sound. Makes you think you're in the jungle or something, LOLHey, for once someone's got pure classical music with their certain edge to it, playing on our radios. Well the song "A Thousand Miles" anyway, if that's the only song you like by her.Just give her music a chance, you might find that "A Thousand Miles" is as enjoyable as any other song..."
Enourmous British Vanessa Carlton Fan!

"I'd never heard of Vanessa Carlton until I heard this song. It was awesome and I couldn't believe how pretty and talented Vanessa was! I'd definitaly walk a thousand miles to hear this song! Excellent song, Well done Vanessa!"
Beautiful bonus tracks

"Not only delivering the track "1000 Miles," this import single shines with the other two bonus tracks featured on the CD, the live recording of "Twilight," which is, quite possibly, the best song on "Be Not Nobody," and a very creative remix of "Wanted," which adds little details here and there which highlight the song even further. Along with the Enhanced Video feature, this single is definitely worth your money, especially if you are starting your Vanessa Carlton collection strong."
