No backing track. No background singers. No auto tune. Flawless beauty.

[@glenlaw2743]

Ms. Williams owns the song forever, so effortless! Wow! Perfect!👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

[@황영준-k8f]

We listened to this beautiful song together as of Sep.30th. I hope our passion for love won't change.

[@trainstar5]

This is one of my favorite songs by Vanessa. The words are very deep. Heart warming.

[@kevinclarke1222]

No matter her discrepancies at the beginning of her career she stood tall and evolved into one of the class acts of her generation. My hat's off to Ms. Williams!

[@keithgriffiths9864]

Well said.

[@montinacarson2350]

Right Ms. Forget RF!!

[@pattybraithwaite2589]

I agree! What a voice! What a woman!

[@irenegroves7015]

Agreed

[@magdalenamalczewska3218]

She doesn't need to be Whitney Houston. She is amazing just the way she is as Vanessa. Beautiful name , amazing voice and beautiful woman. I love this song and Vanessa ❤

[@ronalddippenaar2381]

Agreed 👍 Some people don't know what to say.

Vanessa is one of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life.

[@DonnaC-w1f]

Here too in March 2024 ❤ she's amazing and beautiful song

[@roberttheron4697]

all of us who were lucky enough to grow up in the 80's and were blessed with music like this. Vanessa, you should have never been treated the way you were and forced to resign your crown, you will always be Miss America, exhibiting class, beauty, and talent. 💗

[@kris78787]

Her music and voice has a beautiful, peaceful, calming effect when you listen to it. Not many singers have that. That's a gift from Heaven. True talent 💯

[@rodelbunag9823]

So true !

I completely agree!!!! ❤

Sure

[@muslimumar3434]

I wish we could have this kind of stuff of the current generation

[@remyfacade]

In what way, the NATURAL beauty, the class, the talent, the lack of over compensating, the presence, the intelligence?

We have this kind of stuff in the current generation. You just are getting old.

@@2point7182818284590 like?

[@2point7182818284590]

@@remyfacade She's a good singer but she's not a Whitney Houston or something. Beyoncé is actually a better singer than her for example and the quality of the music is not worse by any means - the lyrics of "Save The Best For Last" actually are quite cheesy (though I still like the song and the singer).

[@DeniseSPSP]

Vanessa Williams was the first black American Miss (USA). And she still presents us with this beautiful song. Art and beauty in a woman. She continues to have the beauty of an incredible Miss.

[@Yatile62magic]

Wrong. the beautiful Vanessa is not black, but mixed

[@lightninseed]

Miss America, not Miss USA. There's a difference.

[@disneytoysr4fun975]

@@Yatile62magic wrong, both of her parents are black Americans. She is no more mixed than Will Smith or any other light brown black american.

[@chayannesantiago9384]

Absolutely classy and beautiful 😊 no rapping and butt shaking! True talent always wins ❤

[@Jiorgiapeach]

Miss America. I think 1st black Miss USA was Kenya Moore

[@darengoudeau742]

THIS IS TRULY AMAZING SHE IS BEAUTIFUL WITH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE IM IN AWWWW❤❤❤❤❤

[@Dreez76]

Zero Autotune... 100% talent .

[@timothywilliams1359]

Has any song ever fit a human voice better than this melody and this woman? Just absolute perfection...

[@mayangoddess9949]

VANESSA WILLIAMS is MISS AMERICA forevermore. Why? Because SHE is the ultimate ROLE MODEL simply by her UNDENIABLE SUCCESSFUL CAREER...of which SHE has maintained without BEGGING for anything from anyone. That is correct...SHE is SINGER, ACTRESS, MOTHER, and a PERFECT CATHOLIC GIRL...even with HER writing a successful BOOK about her ABORTION for a handsome WHITE guy. AWESOMENESS!

[@tamarahildegard1688]

Beauty, voice and lastly, CLASS!

[@jasonbelter3536]

My mind came across this beautiful song today here in 2024, Vanessa truly is beautiful from the inside out, with a very beautiful and powerful voice, with great talent. Wishing all the very best and continued success.

[@montinacarson2350]

Ya know. I can feel what she's singing when she does it live and in person. U are a beautiful person Vanessa❤❤❤❤💞💞

[@grannydeeallinforhealth]

She proved her worth with her head held high and with grace and no bitterness. She was so young when the photos were taken… and yet she is always a class act. She was great in the movie “Eraser”. Her talent is HUGE and she did not let the past define her future. Now that’s a great role model for everyone.

[@SMETSYSGNIMIT]

She still has an amazing voice and she's still stunningly beautiful.

[@nettepki]

yes but this video recorded at 2004....

[@jczgator]

I completely agree!!

[@axelackens2157]

But she is still beautiful today, even if she is already 60 years old, people can still be beautiful even when they are older.

[@jasonburger3533]

​​@@axelackens2157 Especially Vanessa Williams, at one point Miss America 1984, September 1983 through July 1984. Then the music came along and hit after hit followed from there, especially from the late 1980s through the late 1990s.

[@MinPrivate]

@@jasonburger3533she has 1 hit…

[@jolanhowes3604]

Vanessa has a heavenly tone of voice. Her eyes, lips, and everything about her face are just added beauty for us earthly beings to admire.

[@Kshep84]

She sings so clearly and her tone is on point. Excellent performance.

[@lavetafobbs3088]

She never tried to be a replica of Whitney Houston. Just the Beat she could be. And she did that. A beautiful singer.❤❤🎉😊

[@JanLigthart-d3v]

And she didn't try to be the Beatles or Frank Sinatra.

[@irvingtang9869]

Access to beautiful music should be universally free for music has healing properties

[@cjturner370]

The only Mrs.America anyone ever remembers. And the forever the Best one

[@mayangoddess9949]

Imagine...Not even her NAKED PHOTOS circulating across the 🌎 GLOBE...made an impact on her career or her personal and private life. Because her peers are still SUPPORTING HER...150%....ALL THE WAY! MISS AMERICA... FOREVERMORE!!! SHE is the ULTIMATE AMERICAN BEAUTY QUEEN. 👸 READ MY LIPS: AMERICANS are NOT HYPOCRITICAL PEOPLE. NO, THEY are not .. NEVER!

[@Rico-ow3ys]

Vanessa Williams will blow away any singer of today. She has a real voice, no auto tune BS.

[@hakonfinsland6866]

No, she does not blow Lucy Thomas away...More and more people listen to her singing Moon River, Suddenly, Starlight, Somewhere...Lucy has a better and clearer voice than Whitney and Vanessa.... .

Vanessa has a voice with class and grace..

She still as beautiful as before! God Bless America!❤

[@orchidemmy6185]

I just love the way she sings especially live. Her gestures say as if she’s talking and telling me a story in melody. Just beautiful..

[@davidhihm4353]

That's Our Miss America!

[@FrankS-d5j]

This song sounds just as good as did when it came out. I was in high school and primarily a punk rock fan and still am. This song never gets old and I never pass up a chance to listen to this.

[@blessing291]

i dont know whyy..but this song is always a comfort, a hug, and warmth whenever i hear it

[@freeagents100]

Just maybe the most beautiful woman ever, also one incredible voice!!!!!!!!

[@brizzle3903]

Her vocals are so crisp and clear I love the fact she never tried to be another Whitney or Patti she remained true to herself, and today she still looks FANTASTIC 😩😍

[@martydewitt4006]

I need beauty in my life and Vanessa provided that. Thank you beautiful

[@darrenmorfoot1052]

Does this beautiful woman ever age my god... Her vocals have always been underrated.. Doesn't require a tone of make up either she's amazing

[@MinPrivate]

Yes she does age - this was recorded in 2004.

Oh that era when singers could actually sing...

[@samdamon2224]

I can't believe how gorgeous she is in this video. The colors of her skin, hair and lips are all shades of the same color, blending in perfectly. She's all about subtlety, both in her vocals and her appearance. Yet, I still find her stunning.

[@garykingsbury4758]

Vanessa has owned my heart since I saw her for the first time in the Ms. America contest. Respected her through her trials in life and shared in the joys of her life. I went to see her perform as much as possible here in California. She was the opening act for Luther Vandrous. I was there to see her, listen to her songs, and just enjoy her presence. A big crush, huh?😎

Vanessa was also a musician from birth. Both parent were music teachers and Vanessa not only sang from an early age, but she also plays French horn and piano too.

[@carleluere4131]
