Beautiful voice and beautiful songs, i`m sure i`m not the only Vanessa Williams fan here...

Her duet with Brian McKnight, "Love is" is amazing

When we were both 12.....we were in love.

Huge fan. I just discovered her duet with Al Jarreau of God's Gift to the World. Love that song.

I have to check out that one.
Her latest album has many good cover-songs, her versions of "One less bell to answer" and "Midnight blue" are wonderful.

Yes, I have that album. I used to play the songEverlasting Love constantly. Saw her in concert for it and she was really really good. She danced and everything. I think we posted about her before in a thread. I think we are 2 of like 3 fans here on the Org.

She is a bad girl but my boy Rick Fox played her good.....

I`m not suprised, i think many people don`t take her seriously as a singer because of her beautiful looks and the Miss America story.
She does have a beautiful, mature voice, which is perfect for the kind of songs she sings. She`s also a decent actress

Well, according to Penthouse Magazine, she IS a FREAK OF THE INDUSTRY!

I agree. She's been doing this for years with her looks and the pageant situation she has been fortunate to be so strong and grounded personality.

She's very Broadway actually and alot of people just aren't into those kind of performers. Unless you love Broadway of course.

When I was 9, I wanted to marry her. She was the most beautiful thing.

Also, I think it's interesting how it seems you can't discuss her professional career without someone bringing up 'the pics'. You'd think 20 years later and with celebs posing nude and doing videos being so common, it'd be old news.

She's aight. Great voice, very beautiful, but saddled with hella boring songs all too often.

Now that Miss Congeniality has totally blown the lid on beauty pageants, it's a case of "meh".

WeLl hell, it was only thee BIGGEST Beauty Pagent scandal EVER. You think it would just "go away"?

Not necessarily but it's usually from people who don't even like her or know about her career. They just know there were photos which has nothing to do with Kiss of the Spider Woman. I do understand that it was a huge scandal and unfortunately, something like that will always be around. Guccione even wanted to reprint the photos.

I agree. The pics are passe. I mean what ever happened to Suzette Charles, the woman who took her place? NOTHING.

I wish Vanessa blew up more, but I must admit, that some of the stuff was boring as hell. But I have every CD except the latest.

I never really liked her songs but I did kinda dig her remake of "Work to Do"

Vanessa is very talented and also very beautiful-love her .

I actually adore Vanessa Williams music.

Used to play The Comfort Zone every nite before I went to bed when I was a little younger.

I love the song "Goodbye" and her cover of Angela Bofill's "Still In Love." Among so many others.

What a great album.
