I allways liked Vanessa Williams and she still looks so good today she has come a long way and made a very good name for her self I have WHOLE LOT OF RESPECT!!! For her and there is life after Penthouse where are they now? and she is still doing her thing so like one person said IN YOUR FACE AMERICA PAGENT!!!!!!!!! she made it on her own and she is still T-W-O F-I-N-E NUFF SAID!!!!!!
you don't find this kind of natural beauty anymore in music videos. I remember when i rocked hair just like this. She is completely glamorous & sexy all in one without showing hardly any flesh. this was the biz back in the day & still is in 2012
OMG I remember when this song and video came out and she performed it on Soul Train IT WAS MAJOR for then! Also her albums first single it was fierce especially with the whole penthouse scandal and she was READY the choreography and some of those steps later seen by Janet love em all !, .. still Paula Abdul and Vanessa actually had it first! and introduction of the DANCE BREAK in the middle of the song ..!! MAJOR!!
I remember when I was 17, I was sitting watching Video Soul and Donnie Simpson said; "We have a premiere video from Miss America. So I watched the first few seconds and then when I saw Vanessa I was HOOKED!!! I watched this video over and over on VHS. hahaha!! This was the sh[t back then, at least for me. I never get tired of seeing her. BEAUTIFUL!!! What's happening to todays music? sad.
Vanessa Williams is a super talented singer and actress! She's gorgeous! I don't understand why she is not as big or bigger than Mariah or Whitney!! My opinion is she is better than both. Anyway, fans of Vanessa Williams let's get her some popularity! It's crazy that people don't know that she sings!! Share her videos on your Facebook page once a day, week or even month, let's get her out there more! Who's with me??
@syver9 She looks pretty cool. I thought that hat with the earrings and pink open collar shirt over a lace bodysuit was banging. Then she looks all cool in a short leather jacket over a bustier. Gold bangle bracelets on each arm. That's pretty cool.
@RandiSierra Vanessa look FIYNE with what she has on... I meant the groupies/dancers.. Reminds of the pajama pants we used to wear back in the MC Hammer days, and everyone loved Milli Vanilli, hehe.
HELLO EVERYBODY the hope of one is my hope of hope itself =) maybe you'd like to help a little fighter I’m trying to be a singer like million else But I am different I promise that... if u give me a chance i'll show u I am 17 years old and dream to have listeners of all ages love the thing I do.. please stop by my channel and check out my cover anyone who reads this could just press the "THUMBS UP" other people will see it. Thanks For Helping Make My Dreams Come True !!! :)))))) Lots of love XD
You know what, she's Miss Vanessa Williams baby! And she'll answer the damn phone in her heels and nightie if she wants to! That's what all glamorous babes do when they're home alone.
vanessa williams was the 1st african american miss america,also her talent in the pagent was well......what else singing :D great voice and real cute even now at 48! years later a young man by the name of brian mcknight would be discovered by her as her back up singer...
Hey, I’m a young artist, & I would really appreciate it if everyone would check out my cover of Michael Bublé’s “You’re Nobody till Somebody Loves You.” Although I’m knowledgeable that Michael Bublé was not the first to record the song, my version was inspired by his rendition, nonetheless. I promise you that you will not regret giving my version of the song a listen, & it will truly knock you off of your feet! So please listen & enjoy! Thanks!
Hey I'm a young artist, and I really would like everybody to check out my original ballad on my channel entitled "Why Can't I Live in Your Heart." It's a quiet storm ballad that sounds sounds like a cross between Boyz II Men's "End of the Road," Mariah Carey's "Can't Let Go," and Vanessa Williams' "Save the Best for Last."
@lookatdadamage94: SHE HAD NO WORK DONE.. . As she ages; she gets anti-aging spa facials. With either topical creams or injections to smooth out fine lines that will eventually become deep wrinkles if you don't get rid of them. THAT'S NOT PLASTIC SURGERY. Everyone should have a good Skincare Regimen especially after age 35yrs old to prevent pre-mature aging.
RuPaul: Ladies, I must admit that made me feel uncomfortable. i expect my queens to outshine, not outgun each other. But, I have ade my decision. Shangela, shontay you stay.
Shangela: Thank you. Thank you very much. (weeps) Thank you.
RuPaul: Venus DLite you may be leaving RuPaul's Drag Race, but youre returning to the constellation of great drag stars. Shine on Venus, Shine on. Sashay away.
Venus: Thank you for this wonderful experience from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Thank you
im going to be 100% honest and heard this on rupauls drag race.... i loved seeing shangela lip sync to this ! even though his nipples kept popping out, but lorddd i do believe that shangela can make it far :)
and blah, i dont see how raja won that contest... her look was random to me, and her photo just made her look like she had padding on top xD
@HarlemWorld32988 Some of us are actually old enough to remember this song when it first came out and didn't hear it for the first time on the RuPaul show.
@josbo51715 I heard this song too before the show but it was great seeing her on it and for them to use this song. I mean I was only 4 months old when the song came out but at least it can expose people my age and younger to her music
@HarlemWorld32988 Honey, some of us are old enough to remember boogieing our asses off to this one when it debuted. No one even saw it coming at the time (pre-internet); it was like OMFG, it's the dethroned Miss America chick! It was a kick seeing RuPaul pay homage to the great Vanessa Williams on Drag Race.
I think it's sad that people are on here because of RuPaul & you wonder why music today is so mediocre & repetitive like that crappy new Britney album.
@DaniFPalmer ........ I knew Vanessa Williams as a singer long before I knew her as an actress, model, & way before RuPaul came out with his tired-drag show. What brought you here? RuPaul?
@soulburst I agree 100%, I don't care if you are a former NBA superstar (Rick Fox) when you have a woman like that you never let her go...end of story.
Former beauty queen ala Miss America '83 Vanessa Williams in her debut music career. Vanessa name is corrupt form of the correct name which is Venus, the mythical name for Goddess of Love and Beauty. Well, seeing this beautiful creature in the video it is fittin, you disagree?
@jowaness Truthfully, when one female singer is popular, there's always a batch of look-alikes and some sound-alikes produced. The reason is simple the formula worls so why tamper with it.
V.W. is on the cover of Ebony Dec.2010 and she still has the right stuff after all the marriages and children. I would not kick her out the bed, I wouldn't let her get away from me!!
hey thats pasadena city hall in the back ground where the limousine is i love this song i played that so much when i DJ'd in high school it drove them crazy
hey that looks like pasadena city hall in the back ground where the limosine is im gonna look that up i love this song i played that so much when i DJ'd in high school it drove them crazy
I was surprised then and now that this song (peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard R&B Singles charts in 1988) and "(He's Got) the Look" (No. 10) did as well as they did. They were both generic songs that no intrinsic quality outside of that period.
Not to mention when Vanessa Williams came out as a singer, she had to overcome major credibility issues. On top of that, there were a ton of female singers making dance-heavy music circa 1988. But they worked and put her n the map.
Why are you surprised the songs charted so high on the R&B charts? These songs were great!!! AND THEY WERE HUGE (especially this one) IN THE CLUBS AND ON THE RADIO...:)
@NJNupe1911 Because they were average songs even for their time. They are simply generic, heavily-sampled songs that really sound dated today. Not to mention it wasn't like people were looking at Vanessa Williams as a serious recording artist at the time of her debut album.
"It wasn't like people were looking at Vanessa Williams as a serious recording artist at the time of her debut album."
Funny you should mention this, because I recall some DJ in LA was making fun of her before she even release the single "The Right Stuff" saying Vanessa will flop even before he even heard the song! When he debuted the single on the radio, he ask the audience to call in if they liked it. Everyone liked (so did I), and he did too, lol!! The rest is history.
I remember when Vanessa WIlliams' first two albums came out, and it was obvious she was trying to get away from the prim-and-proper image (Hustler pictures notwithstanding). All the typical '80s sampling, choreographed videos to sell the image she was a homegirl. This song and some of her uptempo songs did enough to move past the Miss America scandal and preconception she wasn't "down."
i remember when i first saw this video on "Video Soul" i couldn't stop smiling cause she was just so damn sexy. I just saw it again right now and that smile just came back. Vanessa ooozzzes Sexyness without trying!!!! DAMN!!!!
@spike378 what do u mean too ghetto, she was a huge pop star in the 80's who crossed over to the white mainstream audience. She showed a wide range of diversity in her songs, and videos.
@lwj24 Vanessa is very popular with white audiences as well as black. Her image actually isn't ghetto at all. Maybe a little in this video but overall she isn't really ghetto. Just classy and talented. You could never call Save the Best For Last ghetto
This was a couple years after the Miss America scandal, Vanessa returned with a vegeance. She proved that she wasn't just a pretty face. She had talent.
The Miss America organization can shove it....Vanessa is way bigger than them or any other Miss America past or present!!!!!

too bad her image is too ghetto. Even though Mj was black he featured alot of diversity in his video and that is an important factor to his image

@spike378 what do u mean too ghetto, she was a huge pop star in the 80's who crossed over to the white mainstream audience. She showed a wide range of diversity in her songs, and videos.

@lwj24 Vanessa is very popular with white audiences as well as black. Her image actually isn't ghetto at all. Maybe a little in this video but overall she isn't really ghetto. Just classy and talented. You could never call Save the Best For Last ghetto

@spike378 With all due respect when you say that her image is too ghetto are you basing this on all her songs/videos?

@spike378 I should've said is your comment about Vanessa being too ghetto "based" on all her videos?

Yeah, Vanessa wasn't just another pretty face she could sing, dance and act.

This was a couple years after the Miss America scandal, Vanessa returned with a vegeance. She proved that she wasn't just a pretty face. She had talent.
The Miss America organization can shove it....Vanessa is way bigger than them or any other Miss America past or present!!!!!
