VANITY 1984 INTERVIEW

[2tonsolid]

i used to like the host! she is beautiful. her fotos were horrible in playboy, tho! she worked her persona!

see! prince! i´m not a god singer...so honest! I AM VANITY!

i believe her and prince did have something together.

i remember that night at the ritz in new york with tina turner! sold out!

[Rodbattle33]

Dam he bad

[Rodbattle33]

I bet his Dick is hard

[JunebugObama]

Interesting. Looking at this you can tell she was on drugs really bad at that time. It must have been very difficult for Donnie to do this interview. I can't believe she actually said, "I'm not a very good singer." No recording artist in the history of music would say that during an interview with a new album out (even if it were true).

[BeautyinChaos1]

@JunebugObama Yes, she was high as hell!

[danoto1000]

BREAK THE LOTION OUT

[TEKKENBOII]

@danoto1000 Lmao hell yeah

[YouPickedTheWrongGuy]

Who talks about having a fur these days? LOL but man this chik was so dam hot...

[mikeyfresh420]

COCAINEEEER

[purplefashion03]

Donnie simpson seems so uncomfortable in this interview..Like he didn't know what crazy things she would say. I feel kinda bad for him. Vanity was obviously high during this.

[Redrumhydro]

@purplefashion03 why you say that

[rhinobucketkixass]

@purplefashion03 Willing to bet Donnie was high as well

[uncledave1234]

Vanity > Apollonia

[jjahmariposa]

damn, a gorilla coat? :-(

[spellbinderart]

@jjahmariposa I 2nd that. Try and pull that crap now,a dn see what happens. PETA would fry 'em to death. And Madonna, she guilty too for using a bull fighter in her videos.

[sweetandsexy9]

this is so cool,she was my idol bck then.so happy i was in that era:) it was great!

[lightning6029]

I WOULD HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH YOU, THERE ISNT SUCH A THING AS A CERTAIN TYPE OF WOMEN THAT BRING MEN PROBLEMS, SCANDALOUS WOMEN ARE EVERY WHERE, HER PROBLEM WAS THE FAME AND COCAINE, BUT LOOK AT THE POWER OF JESUS, SHE IS NOW COCAINE FREE AND IS A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN. AND GOES BY HER TRUE NAME DENISE.. PRAYS GOD

[tchoupitoulav]

thanks for posting

[sodear2meee]

She was a straight 10 on the scale !!!

[deleoa471]

this woman is so fucking beautiful i wish i was in the 80 she looks way better then any girls today the woman in the 80 were sexy ass hell the woman now adays are ugly as fuck and fake damn give me a time machine back to the 80 lol

[comecorrect1]

@deleoa471 agree a beautiful woman who is down to earth and fun is always a plus. She is so bad it hurts lol. I wouldn't mind going in that time machine with you.

[GiovannatheSTRONG]

You know Donnie Simpson thought he was too sexy!

[npgfunk]

Its hard not to worship this kind of beauty

[npgfunk]

Donnie Simpson is the cheesiest black man in history

[inaj27]

she was wearing a purple coat under the gorilla fur when she initially walked in the building. it sure wasnt on when she walked in to do the interview. the editing sucked back in the days lol

[Nanadsyl]

That coat is sick. Before the days of PETA coming out for you.

[cinnamun40]

I enjoyed this interview. Vanity here reminds of a classic movie star, she's not braggish or vain or high-maintenance, just sweet. I don't hate it.

[LuminousPhenomenon]

Vanity was sooooo pretty. I loved her when I was still in the single digits and I remember having a picture of her on my wall. Drugs or not, she is a beauty icon.

[JRock005]

I like how these interviews keep popping up on Youtube. But I really wish they had a an interview of all of V6 together.

[SuburbanoidMisfit111]

What the hell is she on?

[angelface3121]

@SuburbanoidMisfit111 She was at that time on that snow unfortunately. She is now very sober and an evangalist.

[npgfunk]

@SuburbanoidMisfit111 coke

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

she is the type of woman that brings men a lot of problems

[SuburbanoidMisfit111]

@giugnhgbvinierngvb89

And men would love every bleeding second of it.

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

@SuburbanoidMisfit111 just 15minutes using her body.- the rest is just all the bullshit men hate. 

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

@SuburbanoidMisfit11 every second? no, just 15 minutes using her body. The rest is just all the bullshit men hate about women.

[SuburbanoidMisfit111]

@giugnhgbvinierngvb89

I don't know, chief. Men would rather have a drop dead gorgeous crack whore with VD than a virgin good girl that looks pretty, but plain. Now, I may be a woman, but I know how men do. You can't shit me on this man! LOL. It's all love! Don't be mad, I'm just saying! XD

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

@SuburbanoidMisfit111 beauty is overrated. Only nerds that date ugly girls think these type of girls are God. Men want beauty but hate this kind of personality. Some men can stand it and not for long...love is just hormones when it comes to sexual attraction. LOVE is a different thing nothing to do with beauty.

[RadeonMs]

watch the guy at times ..... sooooooooo happy, then melts right ;D

[depletable]

She is literally as beautiful as anyone could fucking be. Like no one can be more attractive than this right here. It's fucking crazy she went yonkers, and replaced the crack for the bible.

[questfam5]

@depletable HAHAHA!!

[wnet8]

Prince seemed to have done fine, and still is. So is Lisa and Wendy.

[wnet8]

I"m glad she's happy.... but looking at her in the Vanity years makes me happy!!!!

[TheLloco]

"u can't get more black than that" LMAO

[naturalhairedhoney]

@TheLloco LOL Yeah, that didn't sound right at all lol.

[creolefreak22]

Delicious woman

[ninewon]

I wonder if she still has that coat...

[124sexylady]

Vanity was so pretty.even with the drug addiction her beauty never faded,,thank god she found GOD..love u Vanity!!

[MsLee901]

It must've been really hot in there cuz Donnie Simpson sweating like he in a sauna LOL

[7beers]

I don't think the interviewer is very good.

[emsky2000posse]

@7beers actually ive seen much worse interviewers in my life

[7beers]

@emsky2000posse Could be, but this guy is really stiff. He just goes through the pre-arranged questions and nothing more.

[JayNJayShow]

Vanity....fine as a Christmas wine! How many cats remember her in " Never Too Young to Die " getting piped by Uncle Jesse from Full House? That lucky Devil

[811Bobbi]

I think she's high as a fuking kite, 100 yr old gorilla fur? I'm named after this walking just say no ad :(

[lucky44124]

she is the one that got nikki sixx into smoking cocaine... she was sooooo high at that american music awards in 1985! omg look for that clip, her and night ranger were high as fuck

[VforVisitor]

Vanity was flirting like hell in this.. I bet donnie was thinking girl you better stop ill take you to the back and jump them bones! lol He probably was married or something he didn't wanna say nothing that would get him in trouble..

[acizo1000]

Vanity sexy azz girl from da 80s. man if i was around dat time i wood share hit dat.

[Joy77]

thanks for posting this rare gem. is the rest of this video available?

[egoggles]

@Joy77

Sorry! that's was all that was recorded at the time,I don't remember too much after that, but it's been a long time since i recorded this thanks 4 viewing!

[Joy77]

@egoggles That's cool, I'm just grateful to see this one. Thanks so much.

[vivalaminion]

she is wearing gorilla fur...what a bitch

[forevermodelj]

@vivalaminion i very very like her clothing style and everything 80s.......

[forevermodelj]

@forevermodelj her 80s style was very classy and elegant....exactly this 80s style i love.

[Lavern4101]

That is the nerdiest, whitest black guy I've ever seen. Eddie Murphy would of had a field day with him lol. You could tell he was all boned up sitting next to the goddess that is (was) Vanity.

[doreal]

@Lavern4101 He is an icon.

[Lavern4101]

@doreal Never heard of him.

[soulchildsacomin]

@Lavern4101

He should've done a take on him in Raw. By 1987 (same year Raw came out), Video Soul longed became a black household name althoughout America.

[battlecatz90]

Eye candy truly sexy woman

[egoggles]

you're welcome! thanks 4 viewing!

[GregWn]

Wow, props for this video! Rare, great video quality, Vanity and Donnie - didn't know Video Soul went back that far! If you have any more of her appearance, please upload. Tx for the fantastic upload!!

[soulchildsacomin]

@GregWn

Video Soul started in 1981, but Donnie Simpson did'nt become the host in 1983 and 83" was the year when Video Soul started interviewing artists (mainly those that were upcoming)

[b3autiphulmokha]

goddess

[The096757]

the drugs almost caused her death not making sexy songs. she is going to need the money from royalties.

[lastwolflord]

lol...think he was staring at her tits most of the interview.

[tadowfromkc]

she is unbelievably gorgeous...

[efxman]

Ah yes, prayer. The last refuge of a scoundrel. How bout, just be happy to be alive, be the best person you can be and not go off the fuckin deep-end with the god shit? Wouldn't that be so much better?

[chachdee]

she's bad, but such a dry interview

[Vaniteez]

No stage manager? Somebody wipe that sweat off Simpson's head. Gross.

[ludapimpdogg]

Wow. Just wow! X0



[soulchildsacomin]

Already comin in and shes high as a kite. She almost knocked over the albums while walking on the stage (see point mark 0:47). lol

[pinteous]

@soulchildsacomin - She was SHIIIITY for the WHOLE interview!!! She was/is beautiful...I think Apollonia was prettier, but Vanity was/is colder than Halle Berry

[sicarrious]

@pinteous i think apollonia is pretty but i would never say she is prettier than vanity

[7beers]

@sicarrious Apollonia was the prettiest actress in the godfather.

[pervmanyesican]

@soulchildsacomin lol she also hit the door way before she went to the stage

[b7r7u7c7e]

I met her in Fremont California in 2001 in Kinkos. She was so nice and was telling me how shes born again. I was suprised how short she is. I think shes 4'11 but shapely built.

[lookatdadamage94]

@b7r7u7c7e wow really id think she was atleast 5'7 thats intresting

[swissbeats2k]

@b7r7u7c7e She aint no damn 4'11.

[b7r7u7c7e]

@swissbeats2k Yes she is. Prince is a little taller then her in his high heels! lol Shes between 4'11 and 5'1 Shes tiny...all you got to do is google. lol

[swissbeats2k]

@b7r7u7c7e She was model so she could not have been that short. She is probably somewhere between 5'3 and 5'7.

[b7r7u7c7e]

@swissbeats2k Wrong. Theres all types of models. She was not a runway model. They have to be 5'8 at least. But a cover model, ebony model, and cover model can be very short. I saw her btw and shes not 5'3. My sister is 5'3 and shes not that tall. Keep in mind she had heels. lol She not the first famous person I saw and was surprised by there height. Johns Stewart is 5'7! Was not expecting that. I ran into MSNBC host Rachal Maddow and shes TALL. 5'11! Again vanity short all you got to do is check

[swissbeats2k]

@b7r7u7c7e I'll just ask her and get back to you in a few days.

[b7r7u7c7e]

@swissbeats2k Ask her but be sly about it. Say daaaum I saw this girl today that was 5 feet with a big booty. She either say oh thats my height..or..geez that really short. Just dont come out and say oh someone thinks your 4'11 because women treat height like there age and weight. They lie. But if you talk about someone else it takes there guard down and there more honest cause the focus not on them. Also check out the movie the last dragon. Dude is 5'7 and towers over her when shes in heels.

[swissbeats2k]

@b7r7u7c7e lol ok. Was she looking good when you seen her at Kinko's, I live in So Cal and i'm always in Kinko's I wish i was the one.

[b7r7u7c7e]

@swissbeats2k Let me put it this way. If you saw pictures of girl you had a crush on in high school that image is burned in your brain. lol My image of her was the early 80;s Vanity so when I saw her I was like wow she old! lol But that happens with anybody when you only see there young image. She looked good. Very shy and really into Jesus. Again I was shocked by her height but then again it made sense. Prince would not date someone thats a giant. He 5 feet with heels on! lol

[swissbeats2k]

@b7r7u7c7e haha ok, but did she still look hot?

[b7r7u7c7e]

@swissbeats2k She looked ok. As far as past fine women from the 80's she looks the best. Keep in mind I saw her on a weekend at Kinkos! lol Its not like she was dressed up for sundays best or a night out to dinner. Hots not the word. Lets say shes age very, very well. Nice looking women. What I do remember was the look she gave me when I called her Vanity. It was as if I was calling her by someone she didnt know. I thought you knew her?

[swissbeats2k]

@b7r7u7c7e haha she gave you a dirty a look when you called her Vanity lol.

[utubegirl]

@b7r7u7c7e Why would you be surprised by the look she gave you? She said several times over the yrs. since her Christian conversion that "Vanity is dead" (her words - not mine). She's minister - has been for about 20 yrs. now.Why couldn't you have just called her Denise? Sheesh.

[b7r7u7c7e]

@utubegirl Well maybe because I didnt know all that info at the time. She told me she gets called Vanity everytime someone sees her. She was nice enough to explain to me her current mind set on life and God. And the "look" was more of a....big sister...smirt. It was more playful then being annoyed. Like boy no you didnt!! lol Anyway relax it was a postive meeting...Sheesh lol

[Lavern4101]

@b7r7u7c7e If you saw in her '01 she must of been in her early 40s then. She looks like an old granny now, seriously father time was not so nice to her. Though I'm sure the smack helped speed that along. I mean I know she's around 50 but she looks more like she's in her mid 60s. God I hate that a Goddess like the 80s Vanity has to get old!

[xensboy]

Fascinating interview with one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. The interviewer is at once kind and mischievous, and Vanity is humble and honest.

[marcusrob02]

@xensboy WOW..."the inteviewer" is the legendary Donnie Simpson!
