If u ask me physically, I never even found Apollonia attractive (at all) in the first place, while for me Vanity is one of the most beautiful and charming woman I've ever seen, so there's no contest.

If u ask me as artists, I don't think much of either. Vanity's self-composed first album wasn't too great but I'm definitely in love with her second album, a true pop masterpiece, but from what I understood she wasn't really responsible for it artistically speaking. Apollonia's sole album is cool, I really like it, but it's not anything awesome, just a good dance records the kind they made them back in 88, and Apples wasn't much responsible for the artistic content either from what I understand. So in the end I'd say Vanity for that delicious second album and trying to be a composer on the first one (it was a brave move and I respect that).

If, at last, u ask me Vanity 6 or Apples 6 as Prince pet-artists, then Apples is the big winner! I really dig Vanity 6, there are awesome moments on it such as the insane Drive Me Wild and the hilarous If A Girl Hangs Up. But Appolonia 6! Boy! I never understood why this album was so poorly recieved, probably because the receivers aren't so much synthpop fans than funk fans? Appolonia 6 is a pure electrofunk/synthpop masterpiece! In the end it may be my favorite of the 4 1984 albums (yeah, including Purple Rain!), it's a real underground classic in the world of synthpop BTW, the synths sounds are awesome, the grooves are lethal, it's dirty and quite experimental in the end! If you ask me it's one of Prince's most underrated albums! Well, I don't care if I'm the only one to love it, it still makes my day every time I listen to it.

That seems to be the age old question, but from observation, Apollonia has a more wholesome sexiness, whereas Vanity has a more come hither, vavoom type of sexiness.I'm glad to know she's found the Lord, because her journey was tough, and it nearly destroyed her.

that 2nd album should have been Brenda6, or renamed the Vanity Project instead of Apollonia 6

A6 was poorly received because it wasn't really promoted well. The videos were chessy, Apollonia wasn't really in it, like Vanity, who owned that frontman position, I never felt any chemistry with Apollonia and -Susan/Brenda

.

A6 has some good songs, too bad a group didn't form out of Jesse, Monte, Brenda, Susan

.

Vanity wins over all

Personally, I think Apollonia is prettier (then and now, but with Vanity's past that isn't really a fair comparison) Both seem very sweet. I hate that Vanity chose the road she did but I'm glad she's happy now.

Everybody stop on the 1...GOOD GOD! Uhh!

Prettier if your idea of beauty is supersized breasts and cheek implants. Apollonia could pass for Kris Jenner's sister.

Denise (Vanity) became a Christian in 1994 and is a minister now. Apollonia lives and works in California. She still sings/acts sometimes and is a talent manager.

I like them both. I think they're both equally beautiful although Apollonia has the better body. As far as singing, they both couldn't but the music was so good it took me a while to notice.
