I think that was the point. Once she started out with the "Nasty Girl" image, that's kind of what people expected at that time.

Her singing is as good as most of the chicks that get away with calling themselves singers today - you think Briteny Spears and Janet Jacksona re singing better than she was? hardly. And she was a better actress than all of them along with being sexier and more beautiful than all of them.

You mean to tell me this is the chick you people are having orgasms over every day? Sorry to break up the party guys, but this girl is the definition of the word bimbo confused

Yeah man, Janet Jackson is a weak singer but nobody ever says it just because she is Michael's sister. Vanity just needed better songs. The Wild Animal album was poor, Skin on Skin was better. 7th Heaven was bad, one of her worst. Under the influence was one of her better tracks.

"Under The Influence" is her best single and that's because it was...

*written by outside songwriters
*the bass is heavy and her vocals are buried in the mix

For the first album ('Wild Animal'),Vanity was given complete artistic control and she wrote all the songs.But when the album bombed,they kept a CLOSE watch on the recording of the the second album ('Skin On Skin').They brought in outside songwriters and made sure that her vocals were "enhanced" a little (with heavy background vocals on some tracks,and heavy bass on others).Unfortunately,this strategy didn't work either.The album bombed and Vanity was dropped from the Motown roster.
