Vanessa Williams accepts Human Rights Campaign Award

[waterp0l02012]

She's beautiful and classy and intelligent! Ohmygod! I ADORE her! :)

[SirLaurenWilson]

@avalonjoyous the person who owns that ericcunt channel didn't take their background off or take the icon pic off. The only reason why you think so is because youtube had taken it off due to using a couple of accounts to report the background image and the icon image. If that person was really sorry they would have taken that whole channel down by now.

[GETOSUPASTAR]

vanessa is truly too fierce for words. i swear she is one of the few real "divas" in the industry (in all the good meanings of the word) in the tradition of dorothy dandriidge, lena horne and diahann carroll, lady v is pure class & beauty! LOVE HER!!!

[attore25]

[Italiabeefy]

Love Vanessa, such a Beauty and huge Talent!

[CCarmen]

I LOVE THIS WOMAN! I've always loved her since Save The Best For Last came out, I have followed her career and I always hoped one day she'd get the sort of recognition she deserved. I'm so glad to see her having such opportunity with Betty and to see it opening new doors for her, she compeltely deserves it! I LOVE HER!

[cappuccinoskin]

it has been written it was from a Lebanese designer she had worn that night, though she loves Vera Wang, Kevan Hall and sometimes Escada its pretty amazing how she carries that dress very well it simply blends well with her skin.Oh, she's so gorgeous!45 and that gorgeous!

[pkourav]

i just love her dress, anyone knows who designed it?

[DriveAustra]

Vanessa is extremely loyal to designer Vera Wang, who designed her wedding dress when she married Rick Fox... it might be her design.

[lalohan2]

SHE IS SO FABULOUS.

[MiiZZPOOH94]

[Gatosaenz]

thank you so much for posting this.Shes so fabulous! And this is hugely inspiring to me.

[missluthor93]

she's perfect!

[ENV714]

shes so fabulous

[girliciousfan4real]

I don't support what gays do, but I would never discriminate against them. They are people too. I believe that God meant for it to be male with female. But I know plenty of gays at my school, and they are really cool people. I would never hate or discriminate against a certain group of people. You shouldn't hate anyone.

[SEFYH]

Uh....yeah....OK.

[girliciousfan4real]

Are you being sarcastic?

[skiz06]

V is so jokey...LOL

--Skiz

[AaahUnagi]

I Love Vanessa Loads. She's Truly So Talented. She's Gorgeous I Think She Deserves This So Much, She's Amazing, And Such A Fabulous Person. I Love Her. Xxx

[proteanview]

Could she be more appropriate and tasteful?

[adavis8605]

Vanessa is absolutely gorgeous!omg and I friggen love her!

[antneya]

I LOVE HER!!!!...She is seriously deserving of all of her success

[ar31969]

can vanessa be more perfect than she already is? NO! she is perfect

[australdrive]

It's good to finally hear her talk about her Miss America experience and setting the record straight on resigning and not being dethroned and serving 11 months and not having her reign quickly come to and abrupt end. She stayed quiet for too many years on that subject. Also, I think we all know that MISS VANESSA is very open and respectful of all people and would never intend to shed a negative light on any one group of people. She was being very gracious sharing herself with this audience.

[SEFYH]

Thank you australdrive! My thoughts EXACTLY!!

[AaahUnagi]

Love herr! <3

[pcomputer]

you're awesome vanessa

[australdrive]

MISS VANESSA is so frick'n elegant and eloquent. She is the black Audrey Hepburn in hollywood now. I would like to see her get some high profile leading lady scripts. She belongs on the big screen in Oscar-level movies.

[Sasslove]

I don't know what else to say about Vanessa when i learn some new words that exceed Amazing...Extrodinaire...Devin­e...Talented...Awesome...Unbel ievable...Fabulous..REAL...Bea­utiful...then I'll leave a comment ...*Smile*

She's good people

[SEFYH]

Sasslove, You've just said it all and YES she's just plain "good people." I couldn't have put it better!

[marion876]

I LOVE THIS WOMAN....she sets a great example for what a true allie is...Im so happy she received this award and im proud to be a fan of hers!!!

[espadrillio]

Love her, respect her, she deserves kudos for her support. However...

Not to be a joykill, but way to reinforce stereotypes. Hairdressers, Judy and Barbra aficionados, superficial, materialistic label queens and brand whores-Prada and fancy cars and jewelry, etc.etc.etc. Doesn't she know any gays social workers? cops? guys who listen to indie rock? Please...

[DivaliciousChristina]

What is she supposed to do? Those are the people she knows.

[australdrive]

Maybe not... It is what it is. She is the best.

[australdrive]

MISS VANESSA is fierce! She is totally self-realized and makes no apologies. The best Miss America ever in every way.

[SEFYH]

She's in the ENTERTAINMENT industry. These are the people that she's surrounded by every day. If you re-listen to her speech, she also mentioned growing up knowing a Teacher and an Attorney. She's merely speaking from her own personal experiences.

VANESSA WILLIAMS YOU ARE TRULY THE BEST!!!

[flimsypizza]

Way to miss the point, people. She praises her teacher for introducing her to Judy Garland, and the Lawyer for lavishing her with expensive accessories. And if, as you claim, "these are the only people she knows" (which is bullsh#*%, why the hell is she representing an organization whose fundamental reason for existence is to celebrate DIVERSITY!!??

[SEFYH]

Dude you need to chill the hell out! Vanessa Williams gave a mere portion of her experience with the gay community. I'm sure she has been exposed to other forms of gay life as well. Damn, give the woman a break. You can only fit so much in limited amount of time to speak. I thought it was a great acceptance speach and VERY inspirational.

Besides, if WE the gay community want to be viewed a certain way, then WE need to lead by example. Images of DIVERSITY must start within our own community.

[SEFYH]

I just love how some in the gay community pride themselves on being so FABULOUS. Some of us base our entire existence on youth, beauty, cars and other material things. These are images that WE helped to perpetuate. Yet the moment someone outside of the community points them out, we get our panties all in a bunch. There wasn't anything derogatory or negative about what she said. Maybe if she were a WHITE woman, you wouldn't have a problem with her comments, huh? Yeah, so much living "DIVERSITY."

[QueerSwede]

You go GIRL;)

[SEFYH]

And for the record...The "chill the hell out" comment wasn't directed towards you. It was for the other poster.

[rednop44]

bitch shut up.

[DaxShaw]

@flimsypizza She's mentioning them because they brought things into her life that she appreciates. They encouraged her to do well, the teacher introduced her to Judy Garland because Vanessa loved theatre and the lawyer gave her gifts as a reward for doing well, much like she has been rewarded in the entertainment indusrty for doing well

[velocity246]

@espadrillio Well as a gay man I don't mind it. I mean, Vanessa was doing theatre and music so she is going to run into gay guys like that. Guys in musical theatre listen to Streisand and Garland. It's rarely going to be indie rock.

[lisamj]

i was there. i have pics...it was an AMAZING night. so wonderful. vanessa ROCKS.

[vanessawilliamsfan]

she looks really young her b day i9s on the 18 of march
