@@mmurph617 exactly. There are a lot of talented women out there in the game. People just choose to compete against Beyonce. There was life b4 her and definitely after her. She's going to age eventually and no longer be relevant. That's the way life goes 😎
@@kevinlong5392 that's not what I meant at all. I don't even have a problem with Beyoncé. I'm just saying there are plenty of talented Black female artists out there.

People use her [Beyoncé's] name unfavorably for likes, and it's sad.
Vanessa and Vanity were the only ones that had the voice, the look and natural charisma that was captivating. You couldn't take your eyes away from their shownanship.
Many years ago, Vanessa did a personal appearance at one of the major record stores when her first album was released. I flew like a bat out of hell to the store to purchase the album and have her sign it. I knew she was fine as hell, but up close and personal she was breathtaking and very nice. It was an experience I will never forget. THOSE EYES WERE HYPNOTIC!
THIS BEAUTIFUL LADY HAS ALWAYS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE A "CLASS ACT". NO DAMN SYMBOLS OR HAND GESTURES JUST PLAIN TALENT AND GRACE. NUMBER ONO IN MY BOOK. NO ONE CAN HOLD A CANDLE TO HER.
@@RhinoXpress regardless of the "lot of makeup", she is stunningly beautiful and look better than a lot of you today. Of course we see she has on makeup. 🤡😒
Some professional photographers confessed to having trouble holding the camera steady when she gazed directly into their eyes as they took her facial shots. This girl was the REAL THANG.
Actually, mostly everyone who appeared on Arsenio had a well established platform. He was just a part of the run of the mill late night TV circuits performers visited when promoting their stuff.
@@TheRetroWoman80 RetroWoman! I humbly DISAGREE!!!! Arsenio put a lot of artists on! Vanessa Williams was already a so called OUTCAST for the MISS AMERICA debacle. She had to start from zero! Madonna was on Johnny Carson, but she DID HER THING ON ARSENIO! Are you telling me Bobby Brown or Jodeci would have been on Carson?! Heck no!!!! lol
@DavidPFrance Excellent point. Add to the list Portrait, Troop, Groove Theory. Arsenio also provided the best soundstage and lighting that artists felt comfortable to, as you mentioned, give an uncomplicated performance. ❤❤❤
@@TheRetroWoman80 "Actually," the _opposite_ is true (as David and LE9181 pointed out). If you're going to go around *_correcting_* people, you at least ought to have the common courtesy of being *_correct._*
slight correction it was "Running back to you" and TBH it was stiff competition - Patti - Aretha - Lisa Fisher and Gladys - and the Tie was Lisa and Patti - but the album should have won the grammy for best R&B as it was the most solid of all the nominees
@@timbalandj you are correct in regards to that year with the patti& Lisa thing. But I was referring to the following year, the year she was nominated for 5 total including best R&B vocal performance for the "Comfort Zone" and best Pop vocal for "Save the best for last" and the list goes on 🤔
She is so pretty. She had immense talent and beauty. She gave away the Miss America crown and proved herself. Miss America organization publically apologized in 2016.
I saw Vanessa Williams perform live in Concert, here in Atlanta, with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra backing her just before the pandemic. She was just as good as this video.
Great performance all the way around!!! The singing, the background singers and the dancers!!! I always loved how she wore her hair, like a 90's supermodel!!!
OMG!!! I remember this performance. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 This lady is absolutely stunning and so talented. Arsenio had the best artists, and they always performed live.
SHE IS AT THE PINNACLE OF HER POWERS HERE (during the initial run of her recording career). The late Great Aaliyah must have taken a few pointers from Vanessa....you can see it in this performance!
Beyoncé can’t hold a candle to Vanessa. Even today. Especially not today.
Vanessa was the epitome of beautiful in the 80's and 90's. Sorry, they better ask somebody😎
Not every Black female artist has to be compared to Beyoncé.
And you know this 😆😆😆

Success is the greatest revenge!!
No matter the outcome . Vanessa has lived a very good life . As a Fan , I am proud of her !
She didn't need that stupid crown. She still won at life.
That part.....
Yeah and ironically she’s the most famous Ms America of all time lmao, have any of the others even come close to Vanessa’s STACKED resume?
This woman was then and still is one of the most beautiful women ever. And she can sing, act and dance. Just a treasure and legend
boom......
Yes so fine multi-talented

Stunningly Beautiful - Forever Miss America and So Much More. TV, Movies, Broadway, Hit Music, Best Selling Author, Clothing line, etc.
👏👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿
The Comfort Zone" is a bad azz album the whole thing was dope I still play it
One of my fav albums
Me too
Me too, still…
Sameee.
Me too!
Real music '70's 80's 90"s !!!!
THIS BEAUTIFUL LADY HAS ALWAYS AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE A "CLASS ACT". NO DAMN SYMBOLS OR HAND GESTURES JUST PLAIN TALENT AND GRACE.
NUMBER ONO IN MY BOOK. NO ONE CAN HOLD A CANDLE TO HER.
That dance break is EVERYTHING!!! I've watched this so many times because I love that damn dance break!
Everything....
I can't believe how gorgeous she is.
+osimeon00 I know its ridiculous
Beautiful!!!!!
she's naturally pretty but there is also a lot of makeup that's involved too.
Believe it: that beauty radiates from her soul and intellect
🌜🌞

Her ad-libs sound so perfect with the flute solo.
She had this sultry sexy affect during her Comfort Zone Era & those mesmerizing blue eyes are everything!🔥🔥
She and Toni Braxton had this sensual feeling that made them very alluring without trying.
I agree
@@timbalandj Yeah sensuality over sexuality I miss those days.
‘The Comfort Zone’ is a MASTERPIECE of an album. ALL OF YOU should be listening to it
Her best album period.....
The Real Deal! Vanessa has always represented herself with grace and class. A True Talent! I love her.
I always said her and Lynda Carter were the two most beautiful women ever.
That part
They totally look related, even at different ages. It's uncanny!
Totally agree. But i have to add Jaime Sommers (aka Lindsay Wagner) in there. She was every guys first mad crush...
Great, now I gotta Google Lynda Carter!!
I do agree!
Some professional photographers confessed to having trouble holding the camera steady when she gazed directly into their eyes as they took her facial shots. This girl was the REAL THANG.
Keith Bell I believe that
She still is. :)
... And with those blue eyes...
@@lindsaydt66 Lol! I re watched the video. And you are right!
... I'm sure.
Beautiful & Amazing, my favorite song, love her ❤
2024 & Still loving her!
Arsenio's show put so many artists on, that would NEVER have had the platform! Vanessa Williams did really well here!

@@dlw1221 point taken and I agree with you totally
Props to Arsenio for putting her on his show, if you know the story than you know why!!
What’s the story ?
*I MISS THE ERA OF REAL TALENT AND NATURAL BEAUTY & ORIGINALITY*
The Natural bodies back then wow 😍😍
So rare to find a person who can sing and act.
Triple threat, she dance as well.... Yessssssssssssss.
Barbra Streisand, Cher, Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson, Zendaya, Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, Madonna, and many more.
@@eduardomerino8098 Madonna cannot act. Everyone knows it. She is too rigid.
@@eduardomerino8098 streisand and cher, period. None of the other ladies can't act at all.
Lmao Jennifer Lopez??? Sing??? That's Ashanti on her songs
We love you Vanessa🎉🎉🎉🎉
Seriously, such a PERFECT live performance. The singing, band, background singers, dance move... ALL SPOT ON.
So this woman’s needs to honored with a Life Time Achievement award for her career achievements.
Indeed.....
This is still a tight album!!!
Yep, I revisit it frequently.
The album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
True
Everything is on point here! Vanessa, the band, the background singers.
How is it possible to be that stunning beautiful?
+1
She is so pretty. She had immense talent and beauty. She gave away the Miss America crown and proved herself. Miss America organization publically apologized in 2016.
Underrated!Where is Vanessa Williams Grammy?🎶🎶❤️💃🏽
This woman is LEGEND!!!!
She is more than just talented and beautiful she is extremely intelligent that is what she wants to be known for not just her looks

❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
i've been following this womans career since 89 when i was 5. she's like my Hollywood mom.
I met her 30 years ago
I feel you. I call her my Auntie ❤
I saw Vanessa Williams perform live in Concert, here in Atlanta, with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra backing her just before the pandemic. She was just as good as this video.
I'm sure it was amazing - she's one well rounded performer...
Great performance all the way around!!! The singing, the background singers and the dancers!!! I always loved how she wore her hair, like a 90's supermodel!!!
Her entire lewk is Versace Fall 91/92
Vanessa did such a phenomenal job on both songs. I’m just intoxicated by her beauty.
I've been searching for this. I love the dance break.
+MrJTYoung7 that break was always the Shit....
could not agree more *****
Yes!!! The dance break is too cool
That dance break was the epitome of fun. And this early incarnation of Vanessa was here for it. Loved this version of her perhaps the most.
Favorite vanessa jam number one
Thankyou
Vanessa williams rules
OMG!!! I remember this performance. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 This lady is absolutely stunning and so talented. Arsenio had the best artists, and they always performed live.
God she’s breathtaking!
She was hott as fish grease and she could actually sing unlike these so called singers out here today.
breal9028 still hot as fish grease and you are correct could and still sing for real with no smoke and mirrors
Yes she is
Smokin hot
This woman is beautiful and multi talented. The Most famous Miss America!! I love this Album!! She did that!!
I love how the band sounds playing this song.
TheLanard Brian McNight on the Keyboard, he worked on this CD
CP7088 Thanks for that info... I never knew that!
I see on the left. First time I heard him was on "You Gotta Go."
Vanessa DID that! Vocals, moves, look all on point & all the way LIVE!
Thus is one of my favorite songs by her, so good to see her perform it live! Damn I miss the 90s and the Arsenio Hall show🤦
it set the tone for the album which was great from start to finish - a classic
@@timbalandj I agree!
LION BABE definitely got it from her mama! 🔥🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yes, that flute accompaniment and Vanessa's perfect vocals makes the arrangement so sultry!
The comfort zone this album was fire but still relevant today
Her best album period...
That dance break just gives me life every time!

QUEEN VANESSA…she will always be our queen!!!
Yes definitely a Queen and diva❤
I'll be glad when they make it illegal to be this beautiful.

Queen Vanessa ALWAYS kept it classy!
All these years and still gorgeous!!! LAWD!!!
I can't stop staring. and the flute in the comfort zone is perfection.
Thank you for posting this. I saw her on Broadway in Kiss Of The Spider Woman and gained a whole new respect for her. She wore that stage out!
Absolutely gorgeous and the PERFECT voice!
