[augustviolahow]

[ICANDIGUOUT]

v lookin fantastic as usual

[Troy1967]

From "Ugly" to "Desperate" I think they've finally got their fifth permanent castmember-right there. ^

[countrysidermde]

Williams secured a record deal, and released her debut album, The Right Stuff in 1988. The first single, "The Right Stuff", found major success on the R&B chart while the second single "He's Got the Look" found similar success on the R&B charts.

[MasterGTALoquendo]

She's a 47 old years woman, And still turns me on!!!

[rodneyj2]

Rick Fox would have been ideal in this video with her...just in the video I did not say in marriage lol don't get your Victoria Secret's in a wad!

[MasterGTALoquendo]

@rodneyj2 No that son of a bitch have another woman.

[noahsarcooo]

@rodneyj2 she needed antonio sabato JR for that video!

[CL9361]

ppl are crazy........ans she is sooooooooo hot in this vid and luv the hair its so provocative

[1605jazz]

don't like the video..but music sounds good

[twatface14]

totally agree!! her hair is so nasty in this video!

[TMundo]

sounds like something bebel gilberto would write, in fact, now that I here the portugese I'm sure of it.

[livegreenly]

@TMundo yup it is Gilberto indeed

[I66Mhz]

Not even close to Mariah

[musikfan007]

that male dancer is too pale, he needs a tan, LOL

[TMWatkinz1]

You have to love Vanessa.. and the album i can't stop playing!!!

To a Wilhelmina comment... I'd love to see the Wilhelmina character sing. What an episode that would be for Ugly Betty!

[daveheel]

Vanessa said there would be a musical episode of Ugly Betty. I think she will be singing.

[TMWatkinz1]

Oh snap! I got to make sure i don't miss that!!! The only recollection I have of the Wilhelmina character singing, is the episode with Betty White so... LOL

[lover0fhackz]

@TMWatkinz1 I've seen the new series, and she does! There's a Willy impersonator, and at first she tries to shut the show down, but decides to join in and sing instead!! Yay!

[juantana7]

@TMWatkinz1 she did! did you not see when she filled in for the drag queen!!

[patattack33]

Magnifique, toujours la voix d'un ange !

[babbygurldenisse]

omg she's gorgeous!!!!!! luv you vanessa!!!

[MY0SECOND0SHADOW]

She's like a smarter hotter, more sensible version of Mariah Carey.

[louisvuittonfan90]

You're exactly right, and this is coming from a Mimi fan.

[noahsarcooo]

@MY0SECOND0SHADOW if i was blind and u had to describe the way vanessa looks how would u describe it?

casue teh comparison with mariah is just lame.

[QTBabyG]

@noahsarcooo you're right mariah never looks classy

[antifur15]

@MY0SECOND0SHADOW rofl she is not a version of Mariah Carey she made her lol she was the original :D

[dayg715]

@MY0SECOND0SHADOW

she more like a smarter, hotter, more sensible version of beyonce.

[mindful9]

@MY0SECOND0SHADOW and more talented

[maalat]

vanessa has such high standards that no men can be her equal.....luv yuh, vanessa, set the standards high for all women!

[Rico9XXX]

damn. she is just beautiful.. LOVE HER

[carterboy66]

love this cut too. Vanessa is a class act.

[KleineTash]

Omgz its Wilhemina!

[livegreenly]

Vanessa has such great boobs! Love the song!

[salvaje1326]

vanessa williams alway

[marikunha]

this mix with brasilian swing is great...

[skiz06]

This is a pretty song

--Skiz

[sbDREAM22]

KAZI 88.7 would love to play this on their station; Austin, Texas loves GREAT music.

[suavehinrg]

If CD 101.9 in New York was still on the air, they would have most likely played all the singles from "The Real Thing" album! Mainstream radio probably wouldn't give a song like this a fair chance.

[sexymixedbro]

She is absolutely breath taking...wow!

[alexanderdiaz1]

What I love about this video is that VM gets to show off a little of her ballroom dancing skills. She would never be invited on DWTS, because she would be considered a Professional instead of an Amateur or Novice, because she IS a trained Ballroom Dancer. She use to perform Calypso and Brazilian dances during her Beauty Pageant days which set her apart from all the other contestants. I hope that DWTS will invite her to perform as a guest so she can show the celebrities how it's done...

[josbo51715]

Thats true but Kristi Yamaguchi was considered a professional too because she was a figure skater. She was still allowed to compete on dancing with the stars and so should Vanessa Williams. In the end, it's all about ratings and Vanessa would bring good ratings.

[JanetLuvaJoButter]

Vanessa is giving me everything I need right now!

[aaliyonce]

I can't stop listening to Breathless and Just Friends. LOL! Love VW

[airplanefreak27]

Those blue eyes are INSANE!

[adelgado75]

I hope Vanessa does a dance album

[suavehinrg]

I hope there are remix CD-Singles for these singles!

[daveheel]

there are few new dance remixes of the title cut, the real thing

[suavehinrg]

I know. My favourite mixes are the Maurice Jousha and Soul Seekerz mixes.

[tman406]

Wow. I don't have the words in my vocabulary to describe her beauty and sexiness. I wish her all the sucess with her new album. Its music to calm the soul. :)

[hatesit1]

this whole cd is amazing!!

[ypdcs1]

i'msorry but the original from Brazil is deffinitelly much better, how ever it is still nice... to hear this version

[Troy1967]

Lately, Across america many smooth jazz stations out there are rapidly disappearing in a heartbeat. Most Soft AC stations are now using Smooth Jazz on their HD-2 channels. and lately, Smooth Jazz stations are being replaced by Urban AC & Regional Mexican.

KTWV, KKSF, KOAS, WVMV, & WSJT still happens to be the survivng staions that caters this format, and they're doing pretty much strong now.

Let's Bring Smooth Jazz back to Non-Commercial.

[SEFYH]

AMEN, Troy!!

[datrustarr]

I know here in Kansas we had one now its a country music station...the only time we hear jazz is on the community radio station and on saturday nights on the ac station and sunday afternoon on the other ac station...it sux cuz i love this music and i wanna hear it more...

Im 19 and I love this more than what the popular stations play...

[AAu99]

Demand more good music...

[alexanderdiaz1]

You said a mouthful..lol and I couldn't agree more...thank goodness, the jazz station here in Las Vegas is strong I don't see foresee it going anywhere anytime soon...and we have free jazz at the pool side at Red Rock Casino on Fridays and Saturdays there is Free a Jazz Concert at The Lakes in Henderson, Montelago Village...Smooth Jazz is very popular here in Las Vegas, you ride the bus and you hear jazz from ppl listening to it on their headsets...lol

[Troy1967]

I just found out that that KKSF in San Fran has just ditched Smooth Jazz in favor of Classic Hits, which is now called 103-7, The Band. Smooth Jazz listeners in the bay area are now relying on KBLX or KISQ for their jazz fix right now.

[Shed360]

Where is the promotion? This is the REAL THING.......c'mon now. What a fantastic project.

[CescoPisicoli]

Wow, one of the most beautiful woman ever made!

Like the chilaxing sound be good to set a dinner mood.

Man can that woman work the camera!...lol

[blachubear]

This is a great summer jam. I'm sorry radio or VH-1 are not playing this.

[bobthenerve]

Unfortunately, everything on radio, MTV, Vh-1 and the rest of them only put junk on the air. It's up to people like us to keep classy music alive. The youth culture doesn't know what real MUSIC is anymore.

[mg25cv]

Very true, but there are some exceptions.

I'm a teenager and I hate the radio!

This is real music ^^^

Vanessa is my favorite!

[SEFYH]

Good for you! It's so refreshing to hear that a young person appreciates REAL music!

[1LonelyStargazer]

Nice song.

[barber747]

When you say "us", do you mean ppl 21 and up? Cause if so then you sooo right. Music like this has got to make a comeback!!!

[barber747]

Maybe because it's brand new music...it probably hasn't been released to radio yet.

[Screamlook]

It's great that it' became a single. I liked it since I bought her cd.

Vanessa's amaizing!

[dayg715]

i swear Vanessa is making me start to hate her, she's so damn STUNNING LOL!!!

take notes, beyonce. THIS is what you call FIERCE!!

[SEFYH]

Well said!!

[Troy1967]

I love to see Vanessa show off her incredibly tanned body on the front cover & inside of MAXIM Magazine, in front of guys half her age.

[ChrisAmericaUSA]

Magnifique!

[lapilinga1026]

Could Vanessa look any more sexier or beautiful than she does in this video. This is by far her sexiest video and yet one of her most simpliest in terms of production. Goes to show you don't need all the bells and whistles to shine! true talent and of course beauty always prevail!!!!

[Reformchick]

This is Bebel Gilberto's song.

[Cafetino]

BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!!!

I LOVE THIS SONG!

I'm gonna play it again! 'Cuse me.

[deltanz]

Vanessa is great, both as actress and singer!

[TheWilhelminaSlater]

This song actually sounds a lot better live!

[fatblkboy]

true! there's a live version from the cd release party on here. it has a lot more instrumentation - which i personally prefer. but i love them both!

[dsabedra]

I'm twirling around my den... I love this song soooo much!

[gillsntails]

this is hot!!!!

[jamesyu18]

such a smoooooooooth song =)

[daveheel]

catch vanessa on good morning america today and jimmy fallon & the view on 6/3!

[ashlies]

Go V!! ;)

This video makes me want to pop in my "Dance with Me" DVD lol. She's brilliant in that movie; as well as many others!

[mg25cv]

Vanessa is amazing in that movie!

One of my favorite movies of all time.

[williedearest]

It is so amazing!

[talexathomas]

So funny, ashlies...me too! I've been resisting watching it yet again after I bought this CD. The entire CD is phenomenol.

[ashlies]

LOL ;)

Yeah I bought the CD too, the day it came out and I like it as well. I went to the shelves to get it and it was only 1, I got to the register and asked the guy why there was only 1 out? (How dare they only stock 1 CD) but he said they must have not put them all out... I felt better after that! They need to stock the shelves w/ full of Vanessa's Cds. ;)

[Troy1967]

That does suck. I was looking everywhere at Wal-Mart, and low & behold-I got my album online from I-Tunes. You're right. they need stock more albums from Vanessa :(

[msmilesftw]

she sounds/looks AMAZING!

[Elzibubb]

That dudes having a good time lol :)

Lucky man.

[adelgado75]

Grammy nomination for Best R&B album.

[Troy1967]

Make that Best Smooth Jazz Album.

[grodriguezjr]

I really love this song--but it sounds ALIKE like Bebel Gilberto

[daveheel]

i think he wrote it.  that's the reason.

[talexathomas]

Bebel Gilberto (who is a woman, by the way) originally sang the song...Vanessa does an excellent rendition; so sultry and sexy. Bebel's version is really nice, but more of a thoughtful and quiet song.

[daveheel]

the gender was a guess. sorry.

[talexathomas]

No worries!

[daveheel]

in the description box, it said he wrote one of the songs so this has to be the one

[DJDonBozo]

Wonderful woman, but what about the song???

[anaga02]

(: Vanessa

[Italiabeefy]

Vanessa and Concord have it made!

I hope Concord knows what they have in Vanessa, this should be her new label for the next 10 years at least!

This song is also a great track...I have seen Vanessa in concert a few times, and she daces beautifully,always a sheer Pleasure to hear and see Miss Vanessa Williams!

The Diva is BACK in full force!

[daveheel]

wow! 3 videos out already. i like all 3 songs too. i'll be in line for the CD.

[Elzibubb]

I love this like, soft R'n'B.

It's so relaxing. As soon as think comes out, I'll be drinking Pina Coloda's with this in the background :)

[mg25cv]

HOT!!!!!!

Vanessa is too good to be true!

[devolmedical]

Vanessa has found a music company and concord has found an artist.... Thank you to both. Vanessa, how do you do it... Well, that how!

[cappuccinoskin]

this woman never lost her brilliance how does she do that? Smoking hot!!!

[jaye97s]

I really like this song! Can't wait till the album comes out!!

[Troy1967]

i bet Vanessa had a good director behind all of her three videos from her new album. I think she hired Jake Nava, who directs most of Beyonce's Videos or Jessy Terrero, who happens to direct most of 50 Cent.'s Videos as well as "Keep Bleeding" by Leona Lewis.

[adoremipo]

OMG!! The third video from Vanessa's new album!!! Thank you Concord!!!
