Just love when youngins finally hear our music. Also the very first Black winner of the Miss America contest.
This is Vanessa Williams signature legacy song. It went #1 for 5 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.
Her others include Pocahontas ‘Colors Of The Wind’, ‘Just For Tonight’, ‘Dreamin’, ‘The Sweetest Days’.
Vanessa showed the world just how truly beautiful she really is. WOW. I remember her being treated WRONG but shw landed on her feet with dignity and grace. What a WOMAN.👍💯⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
VW is one of the most beautiful women of the past 40 years. Totally underrated vocalist and served comedy gold on Ugly Betty. “Save the Best” should have gotten her the Grammy.
“Darlin’ I” is my all time favorite.. from her first release, while “Star Bright” is the only holiday album I’ve ever purchased and it goes on repeat every December.
She handled the whole Miss America fiasco with so much grace and class that it had the opposite effect- EVERYONE knew her name. And when she released her first album people were truly blown away to discover she had the voice to match the face. Vanessa showed us how to make lemonade!
Wow she didn't win a Grammy off this ‼️
What a beautiful woman Vanessa is. Maybe the most beautiful woman in the world.
It's a gorgeous song, and she does such a great job singing it. It can easily bring a tear to your eye. This song is a standard! It's not a soundtrack song. It's probably her biggest-selling song.
Love Vanessa. Her music career is so underrated. You forgot to mention another fire bop “Runnin Back To You” 😉
Oh yeah that was 🔥
This song is iconic
🔥
This was her biggest single and her only n.1 single. This was the third single of her ''Confort Zone''. This song spent five weeks at n.1 in US and was labaled to be her signature song and making her second album ''The Confort Zone'' her best selling album to date. She have four top 10 singles during her career.
Nobody wanted this song until Vanessa hear the demo and told that was her story of her scandal who she have a backclash after her nude pictures was released in magazine and lost her title of Miss America in 1984. After that scandal, she rebound and have a successful career has a singer and actress. This song resonated her so much and wanted to recording immidiatly. It's was one of the last songs recording on this album.
Fun Fact 2: Selena (RIP) remade Vanessa Williams "Dreamin" and made it a blockbuster hit
First black miss America! Then her crown was taken back when nude pictures surfaced. Big marylin/Madonna type of scandal in the eighties. “Dreaming” is another huge hit for her. Furthermore, her Christmas albums are among my favorites!!
A song the was a massive hit everywhere when released. ❤
✨❄️✨ Such a gorgeous song performed by a gorgeous woman. As much as I LIVE for edgy ladies like Madonna, there’s something so cosy and magical about ultra femme beauties with pretty voices like Vanessa Williams. The styling in this video is dreamy. This song is a perfect ballad, and the writers of course deserve a lot of that credit. It was a MASSIVE hit in Australia, to the point where it felt like it would never stop playing on a video chart show called Video Hits. The only hit Vanessa had in Australia. Early to mid 90s was THE era for slushy ballads!
This song and video were also essential to her comeback in terms of putting the Miss America nude photo scandal behind her. So interesting to compare the difficulty she had coming back vs the smooth defiance Madonna used to make her nude scandal just a bump on her golden road. Some of that is doubtlessly about race, about a white woman having more freedom to be perceived differently and survive, but it’s also about that polarisation that all women face in patriarchy, the virgin/whore dichotomy that Madonna explored and challenged right from the start, giving her more colours on her public identity palette. For Vanessa it was a very strong message of pick a side, girl! You can be our glossy virtuous beautiful Miss America, or you can be dethroned by the slightest scandal. I’m glad she triumphed, because none of those judgements are fair.
Absolutely agree about the Scandal and I think they apology was too little too late. Funny thing is no one remembers the name of the woman who filled her place
Great video. This song won a Grammy. Her best song
It's was nominted but didn't won. She received 15 nominations during her career, but didn't winning nothing
OMG EVERYTIME I HEAR THIS SONG IT REMINDS ME A FRIEND OF MINE.SHE WAS A KOOL FRIEND OF MINE.THIS SONG CAME OUT IN 1992 AND SHE WAS ABOUT TO GRADUATE AS A SOPHOMORE.....AND THE THEME SONG OF HER GRADUATION WAS .....VANESSA WILLIAMS(SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST) IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.WHERE EVER SHE IS I WISH HER THE BEST.
A classic, a song that stood the test of time. You can’t sleep on Vanessa at all. This song still pulls at the heartstrings. Her delivery is so genuine.
and she can sing her ass off, and shes an 11 not a 10
💯💯
Its still shocking how beautiful she is. Brains, beauty, & triple threat talent!! Movies, tv, Broadway, pop charts a national treasure!
🔥🔥
Her song Love Is with Brian McKnight is another great ballad from her.
Unfortunately, Empress didn’t like it.
sure is...fire too
This track was massive. She also sings that duet “Love Is” with what’s his name dude. Love that track also.
Great song, I think this was one of her biggest hits. I also liked her hit “Dreaming”, and a dance hit I really liked, “Running Back to You”.
Oooooh, this was just on VH1 the other day. Yes, we had on VH1. 😂😂😂. Classic! Hardcore HS memories with this one. ❤
Love this song never gets old.
I know you love a good ballad Empress! 😂 I remember being shocked when I first heard this song because it was so different from her previous singles. I was a fan of her music from the beginning starting with her first single The Right Stuff but this song became such a huge hit for her that it will always now be her signature song. I think there was a lot of universal appeal in the simplicity of the lyrics and the sentiment and also the fact that she sang it in a very beautiful but standard style. It doesn't hurt that she is just a drop dead gorgeous woman and looks stunning in the video which I remember was played on heavy rotation on both MTV and VH1.
So interesting that this was a change in style for her and I agree the way she simply sung it had to do with its mass appeal
Hello Empress
Vanessa Williams was miss america in 1983
Love Vanessa since the very first album!
Classic VW ballad!!!🙌🏽🔥
And i remember Vanessa Williams, since i was young. The first time i hear Vanessa Williams song was with the theme song of ''Pocahontas'' (Disney movie), ''The colours of the Wind'', a another massive hit for her and a another incredible ballad.
She looks absolutely Gorgeous in this video what a Beauty ❤💯
Such a sweet, romantic song. Love it!
Last fall I got to see her for a special live interview and concert in NYC. She performed a variety of songs--Broadway show tunes, jazz, and a couple of her pop/R and B hits. Of course she ended the evening with Save the Best for Last. Just piano accompaniement. She's a very skilled singer and performer. In between songs she sat down for an interview about her life and career and music. First time I ever saw her perform live and had a great evening out.
Oh wow! That's great
A voice that is SO warm and satisfying.
💯💯
This is my baby. Had her PH centerfold in my high school locker and used to touch it for luck before PreCalc exams😇
So beautiful and romantic..Vanessa is great!!
🔥
A classic love song. Loved a diva’s Christmas carol-a holiday classic! She was also fabbbbulous on Ugly Betty. ❤
Yaaas
Here's a fun fact. This song was featured in the credit scene of the 1994 movie 'Priscilla - Queen of the Desert'
Awww such a great song that I'd almost forgot about! This was like....5th grade for me maybe? She had so many great songs and this was so catchy.
🔥🔥🔥
I loved her.
To answer: I think it was in the Australian 1994 film: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Amazing film.
Thanks
I've loved her since the first time I saw the music video for "The Right Stuff". My 2nd favorite music video ever, with all its late 80s glory. 😂 Dreamin', Happiness & Running Back to You are all excellent too. Great artist and easily one of the most beautiful women to ever walk the planet! The first black Miss America too.
Just For Tonight 🔥
@@rpdbu8250 I forgot that one and Darlin' I.
“Work To Do”, “He’s Got (The Look)”, “The Way That You Love”, “Still In Love” (Angie Bofill cover).
Vanessa Williams was underrated as a pop artist/singer. She kinda was in the Pebbles space during the day and she was kinda hot for a minute as an artist but it didnt last long.
Oh dang!
Timeless song❤
🔥
A signature song for an incredible artist. Her CD, The Comfort Zone, is in my car now. Loved her then and still enjoy her today.
Just For Tonight 🔥
🔥
Yes beautiful song. Great actress. and Miss America.
This was me and my ex-girlfriend’s “song” when we were bf & gf in the 7th grade. Lmaoo We slow danced to it at some school dance 😭😭
Ah sweet
❤❤ ❤❤ love this song....and Vanessa 😍
🔥
Perfect.
i absoloutely love this song, another one to check out if you havent already is get here by oleta adams.
It drives my husband mad when she sings sometimes the sun goes round the moon, because he’s a scientist and no romantic at all, but I think it’s a beautiful song, and coz it drives him mad I have to sing that part the most :D
As if anyone could overlook Vanessa Williams though. She’s stunning inside and out.
😂😂love that
I've been away for a few months building a custom home for someone and just got and looked for asap id forgotten just how beautiful you are dang darlin there's a saying in Spanish perhaps you know it already ay que mujure tan mas hermosa ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ wish I could say it was about the beautiful music you play every day but I'd be lying today's its all about you and just how gorgeous you are ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Regarding movie soundtracks, this gorgeous track runs through the end credits of the 1994 movie priscilla,Queen of the desert.
I figured
Fun fact: Kim Wayans did a spoof of this song "Y'all can kiss my a**"
Gahhhhd what a beautiful women. Love her.
Gorgeous song! I remember hearing it on radio as a kid. I don’t know much about her music but I think this like her most famous song.
Yes, it is her most famous song (depending on your age); “Colors of the Wind” would be the other.
🔥🔥
You know this song Empress!
First time hearing it
This was a really good album..thx 1
Check out Dreamin by Vaness!
E, thought you may have heard this @ Kroger when you were growing up. Anyway, being a music nerd, I’ve always said this about VW: no disrespect to her pop hits (and signature songs) “Save The Best For Last” and “Colors of the Wind” but _I_ love the R&B side of Vanessa. “Work To Do” feat Black Sheep (Isley Bros cover), for starters. I 😂 bc in the CZcams comment sections of V’s videos where she’s showing some ‘sista girl’, you’ll see an “OMG I didn’t know Vanessa was like that” post. 🤦🏽♂️✌🏽
Interesting and Kroger is such a random place to hear a song 😂
❤
This was the end credit to The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen Of The Desert movie. Worth watching.
But this song came from her second album ''The Confort Zone'' in 1991.
Noted
🧡 😊
You seen Vanessa in the movie Soul Food too right?
Oh dang I forgot about Teri😂
Yes, _UPTIGHT_ Teri. 😂 She and Nicole Ari Parker, who played Teri in the Showtime series, could pass for sisters/cousins. Another, VW lookalike is Giselle of RH of Potomac.
***VIVA VANESSA!! ..TRIVIA TIME!!!*** ....I just HAD to save the Best.... (4:51)...
- ....I wasn't gonna post because I'm working, but Empress HAD to drag me in with 'Nessa! ...this, was THE Song that catapulted her into SUPERSTARDOM...She released her "Comfort Zone" Album Fall of 1991, and had a Pop / Dance Hit ("Running Back"), & a R&B hit with the title track .....
- ...but, SHOCKED everyone with this Adult Contemporary Ballad, as the 3rd single....uh-OH..... ba-BOOM! ....MASSIVE Worldwide hit, and it hit #1 AC, and #1 Pop...for SEVEN WEEKS! ...Vanessa was FINALLY respected as a Singer....ACTRESS, came later....
- ....a Song about a Woman in love with her (Male) Best Friend, who FINALLY 'picks' the One beside him all along hit a LOT of Hearts, in Spring of 1992....It wasn't a part of a 'Soundtrack' (5:23), but Vanessa was asked to do a LOT of Soundtrack Songs, afterwards, bringing her into acting....
- ....she is, and will ALWAYS be...the *ULTIMATE* Miss America....I'd give the charts, but I GOTTA WORK! ...ha-HAA!!
Get that 💰RBS! Thanks this was great😍
It topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 5 weeks along with the Hot 100 Airplay/Radio Songs. It also topped the Adult Contemporary chart as well.
Mariah Carey’s ‘Make It Happen’ was #2 at the time, Radio Songs.
Vanessa Williams is a terrific singer.
‘Just For Tonight’ is another 🔥
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the drama Vanessa had with LA and Babyface re: Pebbles and the hit song “Girlfirend”. LaFace did her dirty but it’s the backhanded nature of the music industry.
@@gabrielmcdonnell8699 ...well, since I WAS in the 'Industry' I'm aware of the backhanded nature..this was from her 2nd Album, and I already gave Empress info about "Girlfriend" on "The Right Stuff" post....
@gabrielmcdonnell8699 oh wow! What is the tea?
This is a song about Jesus ! Jesus first miracle ! Bible reference! Which is why this song has such spiritual significance- it’s about Jesus turning water into wine (the best for last ) to save us from shame and his promise of the New Covenant and promise of a new day to come upon Jesus’ return! We have been transformed into the New Jews and given the title of his chosen ones !
Amen!
“Ballad of a pick me”
🤪
😂😂
Love that this made you so emotional
Great song!
