A very classy, humbled and down to earth, young beautiful sophisticated lady!

[@TheAteeyah]

So poised and polished.What a true diva with respect for herself and others.She should be nominated in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

[@cullycucc]

the "Home" album is her masterpiece

[@Dzzy123]

Stephanie Mills is so beautiful. Her cheekbones are very nice, and she carries herself so well.

[@franklofarojr.2969]

So classy, smart, sweet, beautiful and talented. I love her!

[@tommyd.743]

The voice of an angel. Should never admit as a man but Ms Mills is the only artist whose singing can bring me to tears.

[@DavidRichardson95]

Stephanie Mills and Charlie Wilson are the only two R&B artists that that sound _exactly_ the same after all these years. Underrated legends. She may have not gotten to play Dorothy in the film version, but guess what? _Home_ is one of her signature songs that she can easily tore up and down like what....Salute to these legends.

[@stephaniemills_fanpage]

She’s not underrated.. nor is Charlie Wilson.

[@sanchez73day36]

Not true there's others too

[@clarencewright9841]

Stephanie Mills, Barbara Lewis, Diana Ross, Rochelle Fleming, Kathy Sledge just to name a few bring me to tears

[@RP.123]

OMG. I miss this element of class on BET.

[@tiffsaver]

SO GLAD you decided to bring back "Home" to your performances. I was the drummer for "Climax" back in 1971 and we had a tune called "Precious and Few." After years of doing it on the road, I asked our lead singer, Sonny Geraci, if he ever got tired of doing it. He told me, "That song made my career. So, every time I start to get tired of singing it, I remember how many fans want to hear it, and that they gave me everything I have. Knowing that, I never get tired of singing it! Weird, I know." So thanks again, Stephanie for including 'Home' in your repertoire. It means so much to so many. God bless.

[@NIKKIROQKZ11]

she was so classy,down to earth,and seemed like a fun person to be around at the same time..luv her as an artist..shes a great person with a great talent

[@zevilgehannivani256]

She sings better then Diana how the hell she didn't get the part lmaooooo! Eyes roll...

[@tpettaway]

Zevil Gehannivani true

[@zevilgehannivani256]

TRAMAR PETTAWAY Stephanie is bad mama. I will never understand this but its whatever Diana is no Stephanie lol.

[@Sttephy30]

Because Diana was the bigger name & star.

[@notynoty7526]

Diana was in a relationship with Berry Gordy. Enough said.

[@taylorsara1237]

NotyNoty Berry did not pick Diana the producers did. when they found out Diana was interested, they threatened to pull the plug on the whole project, unless Diana did the part! Berry was FORCED to let have it..

[@gracelove1842]

that's why her and Michael got together they connected being young stars

[@BCDC123]

Stephanie Mills is just beautiful. BEAUTIFUL. Just wow… so this is what they women looked like back in the day.

[@the430movie]

Vintage beauty!!!! Unbelievable!

[@MJ1958-Forever]

There's an interview on youtube where she says they broke up because she wanted to get married and Michael wasn't ready.

[@carolinagonzalezs.]

Michael Jackson was in love with Diana Ross, not Stephanie Mills.

[@MJ1958-Forever]

@@carolinagonzalezs. he was in love with a lot of people 😂 he wanted to marry Brooke Shields too

[@paulettechatman4604]

He never dated her ,she wanted a quick kiss💋,one kiss do not make you a girlfriend 🤣. Even though her version is different from Michael. She was more Latoya his sister's friend. Michael never looked at her or thought about her as a girlfriend How do I know Michael told me so,besides I lived in New York n met Stephanie.

[@ImmaBeast713]

I can't believe how hard it is to find B.E.T from the 80s snd 90s anywhere

[@dancewomyn1]

What an exquisite and elegant presence she has! I saw The Wiz back in 76, and ran out to buy the album because of that voice!

[@dromycatcher]

yes and she kissed him, "he's a very good kisser' she said about Michael

[@djbornpeaceallah7544]

Peace To The Goddess Stephanie Mills! I still got you in the mix Queen!

[@sandrafranks7627]

THANK STEPH,,,,, FOR THE PHILLY SHOUT OUT

[@quincytuggle2498]

Man. I miss video soul and video vibrations

[@scottcoleman2687]

She didn't get the part because she wasn't sleeping with Berry Gordy, that's why.

[@GQBlue3]

+Scott Coleman LOL

[@joshuamcdowell5782]

+chocolate smitten Berry wanted Stephanie for the part

[@asiajackson3070]

Scott Coleman Deaddd 💀

[@koolmoe1971]

She was with Micheal Jackson and was staying with him.

[@carolinagonzalezs.]

Michael Jackson and Diana Ross had REAL chemistry, not Stephanie Mills.

[@Karamel2233]

Ya, she said that she kissed him or they kissed and he was a good kisser. There are pictures of them together on youtube and elsewhere online but I don't know why they broke up. I wish that she would write a book or something-like a tell all of her life. I love Stephanie Mills!

[@Karamel2233]

You know what just occurred to me....you don't hear artists talk about the creative process or music and their talents like this anymore. I mean, I suppose I can be wrong here because I am not really into the music of today (with the exception of a few artists) but still, I really don't see artists in 2011 just being sincere and open about their 'craft' and the means by which that craft is honed and brought to us like Stephanie is doing, so well and so candidly, in this video.

[@tasiawood]

Karamel2233 This is the kind of show I would love to see. A round table of real vocalist discussing the ins and outs of their craft. Their music, the downfalls and the highs of their voice. Their journey musically and musical inspirations. Maybe a round table of older and younger vocalist. So it would be a learning and teaching segment for both.

[@BValor-xo4gi]

I guess they don't talk about it because the music now a days isn't real...back then music was and still is real and people were passionate and much to talk about...like love, happiness, making love, family, real friendship, and now it's the complete opposite.

[@marvinjosephhenderson9553]

Its a joy to hear Stephanie speak

[@TheLanard]

My people knew Stephanie from Hart Street, in Brooklyn. There has never been any print stating she's from Mount Vernon. Every print states she's from Brooklyn, even WIKI. She may have had family in Mount Vernon she visited and stayed with, but she was born and raised in Brooklyn.

[@bettyboopsie9836]

Is Stephanie Caribbean?

[@bubbojones]

I remember this. Loved it.

[@tahirahsmith101]

I love seeing natural beauty in black women!

[@ogkeedah]

Love her and my friend Sami McKinney. R.I.P.

[@emmettk]

Stephanie started at Cornerstone Baptist Church, Brooklyn NYC

[@darreinrobinson5681]

Smooth interview

[@jhondoe110]

Nice, day looked like day got a long welll.💗

[@dbroadna]

Beautiful People! BHA!

[@loveyu2778]

I'm so surprised that Nick & Val never got their hands on Steph.. Stephanie is such a solid person...

[@DDot-im3jr]

They did ,they produced Keep away girls for Stephanie Mills....

[@loveyu2778]

@@DDot-im3jr Oh !! Yeah, i completely forgot about that...👍🏽

[@theronclark6037]

Back when there was no comparison.

[@jhondoe110]

*Shh Got Talent*

[@clarencewright9841]

yes brownboy i love Stephanie Mills, she should be used as an example for todays artist

[@TheCallowayBride]

That Brooklyn accent was long gone.

[@h_a_d_d_sx6216]

Wym

[@LeeRobinsonjr]

Soooooo Beautiful, big voice in such a small lovely package.

[@vino1954]

on the sly she kinda shaded Diana by saying i don't think i wasn't old enough to get mad at her lol. even though Diana was in her thirties playing a very young teenager which i thought was very weird even as a child and i only watch it because of Micheal Jackson like most kids in the late 70s and 80s.

[@do123able]

secret lady Hmmm... Could she had been MJ secret lady?

[@jhondoe110]

*MoTown Blew It*

[@nomibe2911]

They should've cast her in the movie The Wiz with her then boyfriend Michael Jackson.

[@BValor-xo4gi]

Stephanie and Angela look just alike 🤤

[@CodyCole80]

Nah.

[@Karamel2233]

but Michael and Steph did really date back in tha day.

[@umesodoku526]

Where's Donnie Simpson? I need a conversation with him and her.

[@KDavis904]

What year was this interview?

[@quincytuggle2498]

Kenneth Davis 1990

[@terrencemalbrough1173]

Hmmmm the host looks a lot like RUPUAL. Her smile and teeth and eyes resemble Rupaul's attributes. The world's stage has many parts played by the same people.

[@Sunny_sideDee]

This back when Bet was influential. Now they have sold out.

[@Karamel2233]

IDK Michael was probably just too shy to take the relationship to the next level, but really IDK : (

[@victoriasmith9405]

I like Stephanie Mills voice she would voice acting a black mouse

[@JAZZLlFE]

I'm a Diana Ross fan but I believe she was wrong for the part and threw her weight around to 'steal' that role from Stephanie Mills.
