Vanessa Williams: Save the Best for Last 🤍 1991

I remember this song coming out, not sure how though. I was only 11! As a kid I always admired her and thought she was the prettiest singer I had seen.

I also remember a snobby classmate singing this for a talent show and ruining it 🤣

Share a song and a memory if you’d like ✨

@Bexsy Mine too! Before I read what you wrote, I just saw this song and that was the first thing that popped in my head about my loved it. But it def does hit home too!
Are we still pretending that the people around beauty Pageants are upright and righteous? That the world makes it necessary for young women to (in one way or another) sell their bodies? That the people who judge them so harshly don’t enjoy it tremendously?

A whole lot of those uptight folks are included in the Epstein files. That’s not my perception of ‘moral.’

All a visit to Epstein’s island meant was that you were rich enough to purchase the opportunity to violate young human beings. Same with Diddy. All while disdaining people who do it in alleys or hotel rooms.

Bottom line is the rich make it as difficult as possible to live a ‘good life’ without selling your soul.

Trash is trash, whether it’s doused with champagne and wrapped in $1000 bills or done by scary guys on the street.

@Mamapolo2016 I was just posting a song that I remember from my childhood by a singer I liked a lot 😬
@MellyMel22 My comment wasn’t directed at you. It’s anger that people are required to crawl through manure to get a break and then the people who require that wrinkle their nose and complaIn that it smells nasty.

I realize it looked like I was referring to you. I wasn’t. I apologize:

@Mamapolo2016 No worries, thank you for clearing it up 😌
This takes me back. A gf put it on a mix tape for me, back in tha day 🥰

Remind me of this one, which I really liked. Had a bit of a crush on the drummer

@mindstruggle It’s a sweet one ☺

I remember her mainly from the nude/lesbian photos that led to her resignation from the Miss America title. Much ado about nothing, as far as I was concerned, but quite a scandal at the time.
@ChipmunkErnie I have the original Penthouse magazine. It’s so mild by today’s standards. I mean, there are still nudes of Melania out there (I’m pretty sure Trump couldn’t pull them all). And she’s First Lady. Middle America didn’t say a mumblin’ word, either. 🤨

Did you see the ‘In Living Color’ parody ?
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@bijouxbroussard No, missed that. And I have to say, Ms Williams looks a LOT better nude than Melania did.

@ChipmunkErnie I believe that b/c Vanessa has a natural beauty to her.
Vanessa Williams, with one of the best second acts ever.

In Living Color parodied her song and her rise from the ashes of the Ms America scandal:
