Vanessa Williams - The Way That You Love

[fresh66530]

Good voice and easy on the eyes, she needs to get some better songs if she is still in the business. She should be right up there with whitney houston and others; but alas, not many big hits.

[GeorgeAnthonysG1111]

I almost forgot how ahead of her time sexy she was and a NATURAL STAR not to mention SO FREAKIN GORGEOUS!! VANESSA WAS 1 HELL OF A SERIOUS BITCH beautiful talented a SURVIOR a SUPERSTAR and an UNBREAKABLE UNFORGETTABLE DIVA ! Much luv V!

[gilleunit]

<3 One Love to all those good music

[madonnagm]

I actually like this guy...totally sexy :)

[ElusvOptmst]

Vanessa looks horrible in those braids and out of place with the gay black dude. They should have stayed with the other theme throughout the video. Just saying...

[dashenell2010]

that guy is irritating, hes gay, stop pretending u want nessa!! he was dancin 4 the nigga on camera 2!!

[Chestun]

who's that in 0:52?

[hazelhybrid]

MICHAEL BERGIN>>>YUMMM!

[SADAHM1]

Blowing!

[HalClassof1980]

I could spend hours listening to and watching Vanessa Williams. If I could only take the work of just one artist with me somewhere (let's say) if I were lost on an island-- short of taking the real woman, (smile) Vanessa would be that artist. How can one person, one woman be blessed with so much magic? Her music and beauty are what dreams are made of. It doesn't matter which song of hers you listen to. They're all examples of the highest level of artisanship with class sweetness and perfection.

[jujubost]

wait! is this the Mad TV spoof of the video, or is this the real version? It's ridiculously funny! Willhemina Slater for ever!

[snowball1988]

I love this song....but those Brandy braids Vanessa's rockin'......... not so much

[ncatina]

The music composition was much different for the video than what was released on CD and radio. I prefer those versions better.

[Carmaker1]

@ncatina She thought that the album version was outdated when this video was shot in early 1995. This remix was probably recorded in late 1994/January 1995, as the album version is from 1993. She started making this album in early/mid-1993 and finished it in October 1994. I like the 1993 version on the album.

[jsull81079]

I loved when Vanessa made music like this. It wasn't long after this that the train went off the track for her music career. She definitely had/has the talent, but she abandoned this style and her "The right stuff"/"The comfort zone" type r&b, which was most of what her fans loved. I miss this Vanessa, she was great back then. If you don't know, check out the singles from her albums "The right stuff" (Dreamin', Darlin' I, etc.) and "The comfort zone" and you will see what i mean.

[Nikelea]

@jsull81079 Hmm...well this album was a bit different than Comfort Zone itself. Her first 3 albums were that fusion of dance, pop, r&b, and jazz to varying degrees. But I think this album had a more Jazz slant and Comfort Zone was more of a mixed bag, both r&b but different focuses. I think you're referring to Next which was a very good album but mostly r&b/pop. I think what she did on each album was indicative of the times.

[Nikelea]

@jsull81079 After that was a jazzy covers album and The Real Thing was a jazz album. So I feel like she covered it pretty nicely. There's not a Vanessa Williams album that I haven't enjoyed, no matter what genre. Perhaps she feels she matured, in that she can't follow what others want her to do but she has to find a niche for herself that works well for her. Now I wouldn't be opposed to another Comfort Zone in theory but I really am not sure today's sounds in r&b/dance/pop would really suit her.

[barber747]

@Nikelea

Especially considering that today's r&b/dance/pop is pretty lackluster to begin with. I support your opinion 100%.

[Nikelea]

@barber747 How true is that...thanks!

[euniqua74]

Vanessa tried 2 new things that did not flatter her: Braids and dancing! The video was more of a caricature of the r/b women of the 90s, and it was not her best work. That said: She has had more highs than lows with television, movies, and music, so Take That Miss America pageant!!

[snowball1988]

@euniqua74 she danced quite well in the 'work to do' video which was out before this! but her dancing is a little off in this video, i agree, lol

[DanniAlexAdams]

this is an abomination..I love Vanessa seriously, "sweetest days" is in my wedding album but this video is absolutely ridiculous and not her.

[honeegrrl]

OMG I forgot about this video. I like this song.

[786Resistance]

Is this a pisstake video? Id understand it if she or the director was paying homage to the RNB videos from the early 90s but i doubt this is the case. The style, the song, the image is downright awful

[TheOriginalTschan]

I can't help but Madonna was influenced by this track/visual styling for her human nature song, check it out

[snowball1988]

@TheOriginalTschan how?, coz both videos are black and white? you might as well say that this video rips of Madonna's 'Vogue' in that case then... Madonna was doing all bondage stuff in that video, i fail to see the resemblence and tbh i doubt she would have even seen this video... plus how can you say human nature was influenced by this when both songs were made in 1994??? they would have existed at the same time without being released so the whole copy thing does not make sense...

[TheOriginalTschan]

I can't help but Madonna was influenced by this track/visual styling for her human nature song, check it out

[LifeIsNotorious]

Both of her parents are biracial and so that means she's black/biracial end of story. She still a black woman

[MzSarenaX]

@mybrown...it just stinks when people dismiss BRAIDS as not classy...don't front!

I'm not letting racist connotations go unchallenged....and of course the braids are not her best look, and anyone can say that, but watch your attitude and what you SAY!

you didnt say a damned thing about that blond wig she donned in this video! HMMM....homegirl is black...so "natural" as you put it...is ANY style she wants to wear right?

[NativeNYCgirl]

@MzSarenaX the woman is half black and half white. She is not one race nor the other, she is mixed like myself. She is a in fact a person who does whatever she wants with her looks for the purpose of ENTERTAINMENT, obviously. I respect that. In my opinion now, since the braids do not accentuate her features - the braids hide her natural beauty. Those things are just plainly distracting. Period.

[mybrownb]

@MzSarenaX : That's because she looks HOT in the Blond Wig. I Wear Braids myself sometimes and NOT MY BEST LOOK. My Natural Hair Styles are Always more appealing.

[mybrownb]

@mybrownb: SORRY if I offended you.

[MrKharyzma]

This is wierd.

[MrNicoleCherie]

i never seen her with black hair and braids...it looks good

[face237]

ya with those braids it looks like a spoof

[GAGABOY999]

i miss welhelmina slater!!!

[MzSarenaX]

Lots of women wear braided styles that are ELEGANT...was he trying to say braids are not classy? TYPICAL!

[mybrownb]

@MzSarenaX : Looking Decent and Cute with Braids doesn't mean a person looks Classy. Vanessa looks way better with her Natural Hair Styles. She doesn't look so Classy with the Braids, Although she has more Class in her Pinky Finger than Most have in their entire Body! LOVE VANESSA. The Braids take away from her Usual Classy appearance.

[bgeeky]

The wig reminds me of Fey Sommers...lol and I have to say, much as I love Vanessa...I cannot see her with those braids without cracking up.

God, this woman was made to look elegant...braids are so not for her. I like VW looking...well, like the way she does in the other parts of the video. She's a classic beauty and should be treated and shown as such. Can't help but love this woman--so awesome.

[mybrownb]

@bgeeky: DON'T LIKE THE BRAIDS ON HER.....She looks way better with her Natural Hair Styles.

[Danielle58282]

I LIKE HER IN HER REGULAR HAIR BETTER AND NOT BRAIDS ITS PROBABLY BECAUSE THATS WHAT I GOT USE TO. BUT I AM STILL A BIG BIG VANESSA WILLIAMS FAN. NO HOMO, BUT SHE IS SO SO PRETTY. SHE IS MY IDOL.

[mybrownb]

@Danielle58282: I DON'T LIKE THE BRAIDS ON HERE EITHER.

[MrJuly1990ish]

Vanessa is sexy as hell in this video with braids and all.

[GeorgeAnthonysG1111]

@MrJuly1990ish  100% AGREED!

[MrChicago891]

I totally looked this up because I remember seeing the video on VIDEO SOUL and Sherri Carter said something about her rockin' those braids.....Vanessa could wear type-writer ribbon on her head and make it look good, she's the best

[MzSarenaX]

hey there doaplu...i just happened to pop back here :-p

I would still think a movie with those two as sisters or action agents even...would be block buster!

[MzSarenaX]

Can someone please tell me what Vanessa is saying at the 3:09 mark? "You want me to------?". Then, after he says "I'm sorry, go'head"...he looks down a bit... then the shot of her at 3:13-3:15...looking like the cat that swallowed the sweet cream! It's subtle...ya have to be sophisticated to notice that ...lol!...she IS dressed up in cat's pajamas and making clawing moves...

[hotmale773]

@MzSarenaX "You want me to continue?"

[MzSarenaX]

I'm Mezzzmerized by this video. The music sounds fresh; sexy R & B ...the dude with the shades and washboard working it behind her is PERFECT with her....so sexy with it...and I know Vanessa's braids are a bit much but if you look at the video (over and over and over) like I did, you appreciate it for what it is...she is unparalleled in beauty, sexiness, versatility, smoothness. Bet Wilhemina Slater can still roll with it! Vanessa is my GIRL-CRUSH like Angelina Jolie is to some women.

[doaplu]

@MzSarenaX I totally agree with the GIRL-CRUSH thing, and VW over AJ any day!

[Meridian83West]

While this version is fine, I actually prefer the original mix on her "The Sweetest Days" CD. This remix always reminded me a little too much of Brandy's song "Baby" which was out around the same time. All things considered, Vanessa could sing the phone book and it would sound great!

[shebop1980]

Love the song. The braids are a hair don't! The part where dude says "I'm sorry g'head" at 3:10 trips me out. He sounds like Mike Tyson--LOL

[gwomenlove]

This is too funny!!

[EatinCactus]

Dude is Gorgeous @ 0:35 and throughout the video.

[ragazzoshitfuck409]

at the beginning they talk in italian!!!!!!!!!

[snowball1988]

@ragazzoshitfuck409 they are saying something about love, 'amore' is italian for love.. i think

[ragazzoshitfuck409]

@snowball1988 yeah, i speak italian. he said "quali sono le cose che ti piacciono di piu?" (what things do you like the most?) and she said "amore" (love).

[Tintinnabulating]

This is really great!

[Machelle3200]

no one appreciates afrocentric hair more than me......but wtf is that on her head!lololol

[soulLady73]

who is the white dude? cute.

[xiaural2]

@soulLady73 michael Bergin, he used to be a Calvin Klein model and was on baywatch... Fioyonnne lol

[7kinki7]

Great!!!!

[Kirpichpapa]

That niger is gay

[Tintinnabulating]

@Kirpichpapa Niger is a country

[snowball1988]

@Tintinnabulating looool @ that response!

[Albertcan2]

I remember buying the cd single and there was a slow version of this song, I stil have it. Vanessa could have turds on her face and still look good.

[OHMYGORDIE]

It took me a minute...but this is an old Paula Abdul song...

Vanessa hooked this song up!!

[PopCulture20]

@OHMYGORDIE uh Paula Abdul never had anything to do with this song except she a song of her own called ''(It's Just) The Way That You Love Me''

[waynegreer72]

Like the song. I've always loved Vanessa Williams. She is a really a classy lady. She is gorgeous, but really don't like the braids she is sporting in this one.

[ICANDIGUOUT]

i always prefered this version over the album one...i like v with the braids but i understand where everyone's comin from who doesn't like em

[Marichan19]

I love that 2nd  look

[mineralogyom]

its a great song from vanessa

[dubbsakamelodee]

The song is pretty good. She's breathtaking. But those Salt 'N Peppa braids that she has are killing me! That wasn't a good look for her.

[neshamurrayone]

@dubbsakamelodee lol

[Elektrikkiss]

@dubbsakamelodee LMAO definitely she looks awful with those braids

[lalovelyj]

@dubbsakamelodee i agree.

[kyw0202]

@dubbsakamelodee LoL! it reminds me of brandy in her baby video!!

[barber747]

@dubbsakamelodee

I agree a whole lot. My girl Vanessa does not look right with those '90s style braids. They just aren't her.

[kim123792]

@dubbsakamelodee WOW DO YOU KNOW HOW TO DO HAIR YOU EVEN KNEW THE NAME OF THE BRAIDS

[MasterGTALoquendo]

1:00 Balls Nigga!!!! jajaja I love Vanessa Im just obssesed with her

[caliking100]

They got her straight Lookin like Letoya Jackson wit does braids. Hot

Ass mess!

She too pretty for all that

[ericsansgene]

This would have been a GREAT video if they had stuck with the "La Dolce Vita" theme...braids is not vanessa@all....

[313BigDaddy]

this one is cool BUT The CD version is better!!!!

[mg25cv]

GORGEOUS!!!

[carrieunderwood5223]

I like her save the best for last song. This one is okay 4/5

[njboricuaparati]

She worked it at 1:48. Dayum

[ATRAINC]

Only Vanessa can sing like that.And the braids on her are beautiful.

[limoguyitalia]

she's beautifull !!! the 90 brought some crazy stuff but many artist were so gracefull, the evolution of the music industry is the los of many artist like this... to bad!

[snowball1988]

@limoguyitalia i agree, the 90's were very classy, the 80s was a bit naff and 00's and 10s is just cheap.... viva la 90's!

[marbie83]

wow she had brandy braids interesting. well that's the 90s for you! lol

[josied1996]

@marbie83 lol i was think that she had brandy braids to lol but brandy look much better in braids i think she should stick to her hair

[chaliceofchange]

@marbie83 Yes it was a look for the 90's Janet Jackson did them in Poetic Justice. Not so much for Vanessa. Vanessa is stylized and just gives it to you!! Love her

[honeegrrl]

Brandy did not invent those braids.

[ATRAINC]

HI honeegrrl!Your right it was a hairstylist somewhere although I forget it was around the time Brandy came on the music scene back in 93-94.

[betcamus]

Love this song and video.
