It never surprises me how every... person, has a different perception. That is due to us having different life paths.. expericences... Denise is sharing her perception of her past, I really do not feel.. she was calling prince the devil but if moneymade.. perception of that paragraph, made them feel like she was speaking of prince.. then it hits home to moneymade. I think the book will be an interesting read. Much more entertaining.. than last 3 set cd that was released.. MJ

I think it will be an interesting read. I'll support her since she's so passionate about what the lord has done for her. Denise has been through a lot and there are some to this day that should be reading a page from her chapter of life (Amy Winehouse for starters). At least she's walking the walk unlike another overzealous religious person we know.

I'm wondering how much of that crazy stuff she can even rightly recall given her mind state at the time.

I still think a story of redemption is much more effective and inspiring when you don't skip over the lowest of lows. How can her readers move forward without acknowledging the past?

Her righteous message will reach more people if she tells a more truthful story.

i think i'll buy the book regardless, though i too was hoping for the juicy details lol


it's unfortunate she had a change of heart in the early 90's, which is when she originally wrote the book. In the first version, she apparently dished everything but then she decided it wasn't good to write a book that outed everyone and everything like that lol She didn't begin rewriting the book again until the late 90's when she "had grown up" and she decided to write a more "mature" version that focused mostly on how she has changed after being born again.

I get the impression that she'll describe some key events in her life, such as her childhood abuse at the hands of her father, trying to become a star, meeting Prince, getting hooked on crack, and of course when she decided to stop being Vanity. I think she'll just gloss over the "sinful" stuff she did.

BOOK REVIEW....

One persons opinion of "Blame it on Vanity"

"The devil’s perversities snatched up what little strength that lay within me, seeping and sneaking through, preferably choosing their way into my joints, branding and searing my lungs and oh so much torment from scraping away at my own flesh. He waited patiently for the reading of my obituary. I was unrelenting, unreasonably lost, suffocating in dumbfoundedness, further seeking pleasure in a round glass bottle full of vitriolic venom, which slid me into depression beyond blockades. I should have been thoroughly engulfed in an ocean of careful wondrous dreams with the whole Kingdom beset before me, however my ocean thrust me against the rocks and ripped my sour soul in two, thus rendering my upper half to a tornado and with my lower, i lowered myself to that of a squatting dog, dare i say sucking up his own vomit."



She is refering to Prince as the devil. She was caught up with him. She wanted more, and he was ignoring her; she was yelling for attention. When she writes "scraping of away at my own flesh" , the wording makes me think she was cutting herself, depression? Still, Prince ignored her wanting something more, she was suicidal. I believe this evident in this sentence "He waited patiently for the reading of my obituary." Prince probably said peace. Vanity didn't kill herself; although, she was caught in infatuation,stuck around "I was unrelenting, unreasonably lost, suffocating in dumbfoundedness, further seeking pleasure in a round glass bottle full of vitriolic venom, which slid me into depression beyond blockades." She could no longer her hide depression from everyone, it had begun to take over by this time. She felt she entitled to more than what was given. Prince was her "ocean of careful wondrous dreams" . She believes, she should have had Prince to herself, also more success "the whole Kingdom beset before me" , Vanity was looking for a fairy tale ending with Prince, really her Prince and her the superstar pop princess.

however my ocean thrust me against the rocks and ripped my sour soul in two, thus rendering my upper half to a tornado and with my lower, i lowered myself to that of a squatting dog, dare i say sucking up his own vomit."

This whole last part is a big ass typo. Anyway, her fairytale she so badly wanted slid through her hands. She got caught up in a storm of infatuation with Prince. She let herself get played by Prince. She let herself be disrespected by Prince, because she knew he was going to stop bullshitting, one day. She lost some of her self worth because it played out so publicy. Though, I do not get sucking up the vomit completely. That could have been better said by writing I am down, out and until this very day I this won't pass the stomach and out the bowel because of what i've gone through is known to most of the world. I try to become a evangelist, people still bring this up as I get to digesting and almost, almost put behind me. I have to look back at it again. This time i'll purge myself, on my terms and I kinda need the money too.

SO FUKKING OVERWRITTEN ITS KILLING ME, she needs to write it over, nobody but me is going to take the time to understand this lol. Her story is not worth $45 dollars and this happend time and time again. Sounds like Effie White lol.

Could you please read the whole book and interpret it for me? I can see this will be nearly impossible to read and understand. You do that so well... so what do you say?? razz

wow, she sounds very sincere in her conversion/born again.

(Unlike some other people who had religious conversion but still do the same old things.)

The excerpts read like poetry, the way it is overwritten and full of symbols and constant conclusion
