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!

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.

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.

✨❄️✨ 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.

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.

We have been transformed into the New Jews and given the title of his chosen ones !
