@Dirty...your comment .."Vanessa Williams is over rated and needs to go get a sun tan"...is sad and points to you having issue with Vanessa's color. That is your problem! Not Vanessa's. I don't believe in separating because of such an issue, but here's the real. This America we live in is biased towards lighter and medium skinned complexions. Don't blame those who were born like that. That is prejudice! If you don't like it, create your own media outlets for modeling, commercials, movies, music vids and do something about it. Until then it is what it is. If you are not that complexion and it bothers you that much I'd suggest highlighting your other talents. Its really not that big of a deal unless you MAKE it that way.

Vanessa Williams as always looking beautiful and classy. She looks beautiful and a lot of the young sisters of today (Beyonce, Rihanna etc..) could learn how you can be STYLISH , SEXY, AND CLASSY AT THE SAME TIME.

To sickofit. I'm a say this, then shut up. I didn't say Vanessa Williams was not accomplished, hardworking or didn't keep her self nice. I didn't even use the word Hate. I said I didn't like her. First Impressions go a long way. I will always see Vanessa as the women who disgraced a nation with her nude photos and lying. I'm sure you can think of one or two people who you don't like.

I can not believe the dispicable comments towards such respectful, highly esteemed, and well acheived black females such as Vanessa Williams and Beyonce Knowles. Not to mean beautiful as hell! Jealous bitties! I guess you want the Lil Kims of the world to represent you?

to the last three dark skin haters you should love everyone and maybe seek counseling because of your inferiority complex you have about beautiful light skinned women

Hey haters! get over it! that whole thing was 2 decades ago! and what the hell does her skin color have to do with who she is inside? "Guess Who" and "Plan" some role model you are drawing fences in the sand. Would you say the same of "Queen" Alex Haley's grandmother who was 2 shades lighter????
