Only a day and a half! I don't know how fast the other videos of hers have reached a million, but this seems pretty good.
Plus, if she can rack up a few million views this week, plus the extra sales the video will generate and any increased airplay, which should be a good amount, she'll make a nice move up the charts.
1,000,016 views
I am curious how 17 Carrie fans got this video to 1,000,000 views. You know who you are
In Grady's review, he says what's missing for him, is the reason that she's crying, but, to me, she could be crying for any of the reasons any of us cry. It's showing that she is not immune to tears just because she's a celebrity. I don't think it's supposed to be for any one thing. She may be a star, but she's still human like the rest of us.
I just did a quick search!

Yes, that's the way I think it's meant too. In asking that question, I feel Grady's missing the point. This isn't a "story song" that is built around a particular heartbreak or tragedy. As I see it, the song is bringing out a contrast, between a stage image, in the public eye, that artists are expected to maintain, and the artist's private life, where all sorts of emotion may be building to the point where they can no longer be pent up. And because that side of an artist's life is private, we really have no right to ask for a specific explanation of it. I think that makes it a more significant theme - the two sides of the artist's life are a part of who she is, and one will impinge on the other (as the video makes clear). But we shouldn't confuse them, and try to make the artist appear in only one dimension. If we did, that would reduce the artist to the fantasy role figure we've created around her - and the point of CP is to emphasize that there is really a complex human being in all of us,.
