I was 19 when this song came out. I’m 51 now and I just watched this video again for the 1st time in 30 years. My my, Vanessa is so beautiful!! I can’t find a flaw anywhere with her. She is still so gorgeous today. Thank you for the great music Vanessa!!!!!!
@@ibelieveicansoar Always has to be at least one person who has to be a smart ass, even when they weren't asked for their opinion. I'm sure the original poster is really losing sleep because you said something smart ass to them in social media. You sure are brave to talk smack to people online! Such courage! You must be a very unhappy person, to go and run your mouth to a complete stranger who apparently doesn't give a shit what you said because they didn't respond to you. Sorry you didn't get the response out of them you were hoping to get! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
UNDERRATED video from the early '90s. This video used to be on regular rotation on American MTV when it was first released. MTV used to play this song a few times a day during the single's peak of popularity.
No she doesn't...she's aged a bit...why do yall people keep bending the truth to fit what you want...she is not as young and has filled in a bit bodily!!! She's not as svelt as she was then...STOP THE LIES!!! but I do agree she's still beautiful but not as attractive as back then
I forgot about this banger! I'm watching this in mid-2024 and I think it's the 1st time I've heard this since the '90s. I'm so thankful for it popping up in my recommendations because I forgot how much I loved watching it on MTV when I was a kid.
I'm glad she did, I'm glad she had the balls to just be herself and be uber-successful! Hate they leaked those photos of her, always thought it was done on purpose to take her down as the first black Miss America. She showed them!
That dance break in this video is one of my all-time favorites. Vanessa looks like she's having the best time shaking it up -- and she looks good doing it!!
Vanessa Williams is truly one of the most beautiful women alive.......not just her beauty but her strength,and talent and to triumph over loosing the crown,shows her real strength and resilience to still be beautiful have grace and class under fire and come back bigger and more successful than was originally thought.Vanessa laid the foundation for others to follow, remember Love is all that matters we are All beautiful in our own perfect way, celebrate life thru love for you and everything Alive
That whole Penthouse thing was staged. It was her Humiliation Ritual. Every celebrity has to do it. Plus she was raised Catholic so as a result, her success was given to her by Rome. Revelation 17:5; 12:9 KJV.
Thank you Vanessa Williams for sharing your never-ending talent and for allowing the world to witness such timeless beauty, inside-out. You are eternally loved.
There are many beautiful women in the entertainment industry, but Vanessa is so gorgeous that it literally rocks you. No matter what your sexuality is. She's without question among the most beautiful human beings that has ever graced our planet. And she also happens to be humble, talented, and a kind and classy woman.
I love Vanessa during this time. This also reminds me of how much influence Janet Jackson had on all these women back in the day. The sass, the speaking at beginning and end of songs, full on choreography. Ijs
Never! what an insult This woman's beauty is Unmatched, often otherworldly. Vanessa is an 16x Grammy nominated singer and Broadway Superstar. I would think not. Not even back when.
And like I always say: when one thinks of miss America, regardless of race, age, religion, creed, or sexual orientation, the first name to emerge is VANESSA WILLIAMS
Vanessa Williams is one of the greatest black female unicorns.Meaning, that she has always excelled at anything she aspired to accomplish. I absolutely love that she's a rebel who doesn't conform to societys standards, while keeping it sassy, sophisticated and gracious.💖
My favorite Vanessa Williams song!!!! This video is so 90's!!!! I love the dance breakdown too!!! I remember she had a concert on tv and she was doing all her ballads and things then she went into the songs like this and called that set old school!!! I loved the fact that she went back in the day with it!!!!
Perfection! The clothes and music are back in style.This song and video could have been re-created today by Miley Cyrus and crushed it . Love Miss Williams then and now.
Vanessa Williams is a legend. She was humiliated when her Miss America crown was taken away for a petty reason. She proved herself with her real talent . She is certainly the most beautiful woman on earth
well it wasn't really petty......however she is the greatest miss America and the most successful of all time. there will never be another one like her
TODAY IN MUSIC HISTORY: August 10, 1991 - 27 Years Ago Today: Vanessa Williams debuted at No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with her single, "Running Back To You." This Trevor Gale/Kenni Hairston-penned song was Williams' leadoff single from her sophomore album, "The Comfort Zone." It peaked at No. 18 on the Hot 100 and went all the way to No. 1 on the Billboard R&B Chart spending two weeks at the top. {08/10/2018]
This was my tuuuuune back in the day. Thank god my mother used to record music videos on VHS otherwise I would not have any memories of great classic old skool jams and videos.
Love absolutely most of Envogue's songs but this one has to be my absolute favorite. In this video is absolutely BANGIN'!!! BLACK CULTURE AT ITS FINEST.❤
I don't care what anyone say back in the day she's still a very lovely woman but back then she had that young hungry fierce feline look in her eyes those eyes , mesmerizing and haunting and she can actually sing and dance and act very talented and scary beautiful it unnerves and you're just there standing with your mouth gaping open in awe of her beauty .A beautiful entity Vanessa means God's butterfly and she definitely was a butterfly of the rarest kind from Paradise.
Uhh...this was a flawless pop, r&b, soul, dance, BANGER w/ sound & vibe ALL over mainstream radio. Checked every damn box (& imo as good if not hotter than En Vogue, SWV songs at the time etc..) = NO idea why this didn't easily coast into the Hot 100 Top 10/5! Ya, #1 r&b which is good but come on deserved a higher peak on the pop charts. Fact.
...I'll tell ya why...Billboard released "Soundscan", a device that 'scanned' actual sales of singles at Record stores (Fall 1991), and it 'indicated' that "Running..." only 'sold' enough, to get a #18 Pop peak... (cont.) ....but, Vanessa KILLED on the other charts; #1 R&B (3 weeks), & #2 Dance (for 4 weeks, behind "Finally" (Cece Peniston) & "The Pressure" (Sounds Of Blackness)....
I was driving over Laurel Canyon years ago and Vanessa Williams was in a Jeep Grand Cherokee driving the other direction. The traffic was slow she glanced over my way and her eyes lit up that whole car. She was stunning.
It's 2024, I'm 62 yrs. old & still loving this song!
That song was bad and still is the beat fire 🔥🔥
Old ahhhh🤣
One of the best!this lady rocks!
Yeah I'm 45 still loving it lol
Do you look 👀 as good as Vanessa? If so,I am going to do a Whitney Houston and
"Run to you " 😮😮😮😮😮😮ooooo
I miss this time and music! Still a banger in 2024!!!
She's theee most famous of any national or international pageant winner.
Good God do I miss the 80s and 90s
Happy 61st Birthday Vanessa Lynn Williams!(Born March 18, 1963)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂🎀🌷🌹💐👍🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
This was all before Beyonce ok,
Vanessa Williams was that Girl
in the 90s, beauty and talent
goes along way for this Queen
MATTERS PEOPLE PEACE&LOVE
Vanessa and Pebbles is our Beyonce of our time
Unfortunately, k. Kardashian is a better example....
Give her her crown back!!!!
Some things were the best back in the day
She showed them !!
i will never ever understand why this wasn't a worldwide smash hit...still a banger
lvmeszoely because we were in shock!
There's a reason why she was nominated 11 times at the Grammys but she should've won at least 5 of them.
IT WAS A #1 HIT SONG FOR HER
Want #1 what are you talking about

Quadruple threat of pure talent and hard work !! What a Queen !!...and FOINE !!

Same here George. This song was playing a lot in all discotheque (then we call it club now 😝) in my hometown...
Your numbers don't add up, George
The camera has always loved Vanessa. Easily one of the most beautiful people in the world.
The Comfort Zone was her best album to date!
YUP
Good music
Agreed. I bought that album alone just for the cover!😉🔥
I agree 100%!
It sure was Kevin! And today marks the 30th anniversary of the album's release!
I have liked this song for 30 years
UNDERRATED video from the early '90s. This video used to be on regular rotation on American MTV when it was first released. MTV used to play this song a few times a day during the single's peak of popularity.
I was in fifth grade from 7 to 3 pm so i missed it all. After school it was nes time and homework.
I know! MTV would go one to nom this video for "Best Cinematography" and something else the following year.
If it was on regular rotation, then how is it underrated? I swear you all love calling every song you love underrated.
No it wasnt underrated at all. It was on TV and radio all the time then.
Soul Train dancers played it best… ruclips.net/video/-au7zIJSheA/видео.htmlsi=wKcl1mMOtNWQJX7s
Vanessa is still a true talent. Still listening in 2023🎉
Vanessa Williams still looks as beautiful and hot today in 2024 as she did back in this video. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No she doesn't...she's aged a bit...why do yall people keep bending the truth to fit what you want...she is not as young and has filled in a bit bodily!!! She's not as svelt as she was then...STOP THE LIES!!! but I do agree she's still beautiful but not as attractive as back then

2023 still 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 after all these years!!!
Try 2024 👊🏾
And...Miss America Pageant apologized to her!
Talk about an comeback……nobody knew how multi talented she was… but she came back and killed it
I'm glad she did, I'm glad she had the balls to just be herself and be uber-successful! Hate they leaked those photos of her, always thought it was done on purpose to take her down as the first black Miss America. She showed them!

Stunner of a woman and multi-talented. She is a triple threat in the business. Absolutely gorgeous woman.❤️👌🏻
That dance break in this video is one of my all-time favorites. Vanessa looks like she's having the best time shaking it up -- and she looks good doing it!!
I miss the dance-r&b era of 1988-1994. What an epic time for music!

90s the best music
See what im sayin
Miss America...and rightly so!
Miss the old days! Wonderful music! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 cheers to everyone
Vanessa can sing. And she is really a good looking woman.
A truly talented lady. They tried to destroy her, but she showed them. Like a phoenix she rose from the ashes better than ever. Great attitude record.

A total "She-Ro". Talented Queen !!
God this was my favorite song in the early 90's. So is "Dreamin" and "Save The Best For Last".......I miss the 90's and the 90's music. Xo
Beyonce & all the singers of today are good but as far as beauty goes, noone can touch this woman. You couldn't paint a girl this beautiful.
Had this CD and listened to it a million times❤
So you're the reason it went platinum..😮.I made it multi platinum 😮
💯
Her eyes are electric ⚡️ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She even made mom jeans look good! You go girl. Only few years older me and still gorgeous as ever. #ilove90svanessa
Damn, she was really awesome! I don't know, she acts lifeless these days :/ maybe she has done everything already.
I'm trying to figure out how she still looks pretty modern in this 25 year old video!! Fierce!!
gay man here with a man crush on MISS VANESSA what a performer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those were in style back then, and weren’t considered “mom jeans.”
Back then they were just called "jeans."
comfort zone was banging back n 92-93
and still sounds good today. Vanessa, u go girl
Tanya Arroyo Swear!!!
that whole album u can play without skip
This video was the bomb
Thank you Vanessa Williams for sharing your never-ending talent and for allowing the world to witness such timeless beauty, inside-out. You are eternally loved.

And tramatized
The end…her eyes 💎
Sept 29, 2024 had a stong case of nostalgia for the good ole days!! I was about 13 when this came out. Her & Janet were definitely my favorite!
