@Edward89 💯. If you think about all of what’s came to light recently about predatory behavior from powerful men in the industry…can you just IMAGINE how sick/perverse the average man was back then? Something DEFINITELY happened to her to cause her to turn to drugs in the first place!
"The Beautiful Ones you always seem to lose." Thank you gracing us with your beauty, sensuality, vulnerability and your music, Denise. We'll keep you alive in our hearts.
She was hauntingly beautiful and showed the world how dangerous beauty can be. She turned it around and became a woman of substance and followed GOD. God bless Denise. She did it. She spread the WORD and is at peace finally.
Vanity had an almost demonic beauty. Her countenance was dangerously confident in the knowledge that she could get whatever she wanted. When Denise found the Lord her beauty changed. She was no longer dangerous...she became righteous. Her demonic beauty dissolved and she looked softer and more authentic. Denise did it, she won souls for Jesus. I am so in awe of how much she loved God. God bless everyone !
Angie L u must hv discernment bc ur right... Many times ppl, celebs get that demonic beauty by demonic worship, many give themselves over to spirits of lust to be highly adored by the masses. Her beauty did look more innocent once she got saved, that's why..
With respect, there is no such thing as demonic beauty. Even though evil spirits can resemble the light, they will still be ugly in the end. Is that what you're saying? God made Denise, and he made her BEAUTIFULLY. That was her gift, but she allowed herself to be used by satan to pervert it. I believe satan himself was jealous of her beauty and did everything he could to destroy her and destroy her face and her purpose. That's why all that happened to her- the rape, the mental and physical abuse, the drugs and demonic oppression. But God didn't let her die till she fulfilled her purpose, thankfully. There is nothing wrong with being pretty or a model. She was using it the wrong way tho. I wish she would have continued modeling but not for playboy or anything scandalous. She was so natural and had so much influence that NO OTHER model has today.
I think the sadness is from the fact that she was never getting a REAL break. It was always about Prince. That's a shame. Nothing to do with the business at hand, but the lousy journalists and audiences alike who never gave her a chance away from Camp Prince.
Most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life!! I mean she could cause accidents on the street with people turning their heads and staring at her. Oh gosh!!!!
LOVED me some Vanity when I was a kid!!!! I love her STILL!!! She was such a stunningly, beautiful, Black woman!!! Poor thing could never hide her affection for Prince whenever she was asked about him. She loved him to pieces.
@@feliznavidad6958 Oh here comes another racetracker! I've never discounted her "German/Polish" side/heritage. However, her "German/Polish" relatives including her "German/Polish" mother discounted her and her siblings. She was raised as Black and identified as Black. If she didn't have an issue with that, why do you?!?
She was gorgeous. I love her so much. Forever my favourite 80's girl. Now she's with her true love Prince! I miss and adore both of those beauties so much. They are and will forever be everything.
@Angel Johnson why are you so weird. You keep stalking vanity videos commenting about a damn bernette nobody cares about her. She’s basic asf. She looks like 1,000 other girls in the hood
R.I.P. Vanity, Better known as, Miss Respectful Denise Katrina Matthews!!! You got right with GOD! I followed your evangelist's teachings! You got out of the life. Respect!!!!
There are a lot of rumors and internet conspiracies about her but to me she was just looking for love and she never found it..... men used her abused her and it all started with her father (by her own account of abuse she suffered from him)..... I hope she is finally at peace as she was beautiful inside as well as outside....
She found love and Peace in Jesus . When you have a relationship with Jesus everything changes . The World’s love is a false love and a false sense of security and peace . She didn’t need those things . People think they do
ONE WORD I SEEN BEAUTIFUL WOMEN N MY LIFE .....BUT THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN RIGHT HERE ... IS THE MEANING OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL N THE WORLD ..... DENISE VOICE SOUNDS SO HUMBLE AND PEACEFUL ..... LEGEND DENISE MATTHEWS AKA VANITY ....MAY YOUR SPIRIT REST N PEACE ..... LEGENDS LIVES 4 EVER
Beautiful kind soul! She will be missed greatly, we can take comfort that she completely changed her life around and lived more than 20 years past the time the Doctors told her she had little chance & that she is no longer suffering physically, she dedicated her life to God and turned her back on showbiz. Her testimony is a powerful one! R.I.P. Denise Matthews.
So innocent i can imagine all the slimebags and sleezeballs that were constantly up her back 🤦🏻♂️may your beautiful soul and spirit be in peace 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🕊🕊🕊
Denise was always gorgeous, but during this time period it's a dark aura around her that kinda puts a smug around her. I can notice it...........it takes away from her. When she got away from the industry and certain people she really did glow. It reminds me of way of Vesta Williams, when she was going through some things. You can tell she was confident with her weight. But she started taking better care of herself and her surroundings, and BAM !!!!!! Vesta was looking good during the mid 90's until she passed in 2011. Same goes for Lisa Lopes from TLC, she was always pretty but when she started cleansing and removing negative things about her surroundings, she started glowing.
There is no truth to that . She always had an upbeat like personality. And if you watch some of Prince’s interviews he was copying him in this interview .
You all mean well.. I knew Denise she was always spiritual ,,Nothing ' Demonic ' About her ..She was a good actress and very comfortable in her Skin.. The World labeled her ..This and that and now everyone's trying to do the same in her passing . She found the her spirituality and there was NOTHING FAKE " OR " Over the top about it. it was pure . Thank you Deniese for the wonderful Songs Movies and showing how you found true Beauty in your Spirit !!
Still naturally beautiful even if she was under the influence during this time but she later straightened herself out and became a Devout Christian. I think that she was suffering from personal demons that she never talked about particularly her childhood
ariana336pm People would disagree and say that Sheila was his soulmate. I like her and all, but Vanity took Prince's breath away. When she left him, she took some of his heart and mind with her. I really wished that they could've worked things out so she could've been in Purple Rain. Don't get me wrong, it was an amazing movie (actually one of my favorite movies) but it would've been perfect since it was the story of their life together
That Jackson Girl Is Bad Tbfh. People would also say Mayte was his soulmate, but I personally believe Denise was all his life. I wish Denise was in Purple Rain as well because that was the story of their love life together. Some people think Apples was the one that dated Prince but it was actually Denise. She was just a replacement of Denise. He had to find some other woman with a similar body and looks just like Denise. He tried his best .. but Denise will always be #1 and his prettiest protégée to me ..
ariana336pm Preach it girl! Apples was beautiful but Denise is #1 for me. She could actually sing, dance and act. Apples didn't really have the ability to sing and dance like Denise could. I remember watching an award ceremony and both Prince and Denise hugged. That also shows me that they never stopped caring or loving one another. They were the baddest, royal couple the 80s to this day. They always had this strong bond and connection with one another.
Yeah in every interview, that´s not too ugly tho, like it usually is, but it is painful to watch, at least for me. Imagine the beauty she would have been without the drugs, I mean, we can feel she has things to say.
She let the fame get to her. She could have been the black Madonna! But she got out of hand. I'm happy I guess, that she found God and is going in a positive direction. From one addiction to another.
Seasonal Mommy try Madonna copied her vanity 6 was the start to nasty girls literally no pun intended.... 😒🤦🏽♀️ Sound like a whole fool as if that witch MADonna is any better, at least Denise found piece Madonna looks like you can find her in pieces she ain’t and was never sexy it’s the music ghostwriters write fir her that made her successful....
r.i.p beautiful I wasn't even born when you were featured in the movie Purple Rain but I love your music you are a beautiful woman may you be in heaven with Jesus now
Ari Seymour yeah that was her she looks way different in real life from the movies but you know how Hollywood puts a lot of glam on people to make them look way different
I love her earrings!! I think she was definitely on something though cause it's like she's staring out into space or something like she just came off of a high. Her story was so sad though :( its good she got her life together in the end though!! ☺
Vanity gave up her stage name and became a born-again Christian in 1994, the year she almost died from the effects of smoking crack cocaine. She recalled that after being rushed to the hospital, doctors said she had three days to live while on life support. She said that Jesus came to her at this time and spoke to her, saying if she promised to give up her Vanity persona, he would save her. In 1995, she said, "When I came to the Lord Jesus Christ, I threw out about 1,000 tapes of mine - every interview, every tape, every video. Everything." She has stated that she has chosen not to receive any further revenue from her work as Vanity, and has cut off all ties with Hollywood and her former life in the music business. After a kidney transplant in 1997, she decided to devote her life to evangelism. She now speaks at churches across the United States and worldwide.Due to the effects on her kidneys of years of drug use while a performer, she must now undergo peritoneal dialysis five times a day (each session is 20 minutes long).
I think it's so funny how people find God when they are most vulnerable and susceptible to asinine beliefs. You don't think God could've given her that message before she destroyed her body and almost killed herself?
steelty Sure. He could have but then how would he be able to use her as a tool to reach other people suffering like wise on what God could do for them?
steelty He gives people messages all the time, but ppl usually don't want to listen until they're at the lowest point and realize they need something higher than themselves.
steelty I think that would be the best time to come to someone, when they're most vulnerable. Negative energy (The devil or whatever) plays on people's vulnerability all of the time...

Yup
the most beautiful girl in the world. I could only imagine the pressure
There is no women today with all that makeup, plastic, collagen lip fillers that can compare to Denice’s natural beauty.
Truly stunning!
WOMAN!
Time to go outside and touch grass. Though there are plenty of naturally gorgeous women on youtube like Kaavi, Mina Zibayi, Kali Ledger, etc.
One of the most beautiful women that has ever graced this planet.

Very true. Unbelievably beautiful.
+superserial1 OH god people smh
U GOT DAM RITE
@Angel Johnson
Nope. She wasn’t hard to look at back in the day, but not even remotely as beautiful as Denise was.
She was drop dead GORGEOUS no doubt. But I could tell she was suffering on the inside. Drugs seriously screw people up. But now, she can rest in eternal peace.
Halleluiah she was saved sanctified living in tbe spirit of God. She was A woman of God very beautiful glad I was able to speak with her before she died she ministered to me
She was SOBER AND A CHILD OF GOD IN THE END
She wasn't Suffering after SHE GAVE HER LIFE TO CHRIST
......satanic music industry!
@Edward89 💯. If you think about all of what’s came to light recently about predatory behavior from powerful men in the industry…can you just IMAGINE how sick/perverse the average man was back then? Something DEFINITELY happened to her to cause her to turn to drugs in the first place!
"The Beautiful Ones you always seem to lose." Thank you gracing us with your beauty, sensuality, vulnerability and your music, Denise. We'll keep you alive in our hearts.
Here! Here!
Could this woman be anymore beautiful.
She was hauntingly beautiful and showed the world how dangerous beauty can be. She turned it around and became a woman of substance and followed GOD. God bless Denise. She did it. She spread the WORD and is at peace finally.
+Angie L ---- Yes!!
Vanity had an almost demonic beauty. Her countenance was dangerously confident in the knowledge that she could get whatever she wanted. When Denise found the Lord her beauty changed. She was no longer dangerous...she became righteous. Her demonic beauty dissolved and she looked softer and more authentic. Denise did it, she won souls for Jesus. I am so in awe of how much she loved God. God bless everyone !
Angie L u must hv discernment bc ur right... Many times ppl, celebs get that demonic beauty by demonic worship, many give themselves over to spirits of lust to be highly adored by the masses. Her beauty did look more innocent once she got saved, that's why..
With respect, there is no such thing as demonic beauty. Even though evil spirits can resemble the light, they will still be ugly in the end. Is that what you're saying?
God made Denise, and he made her BEAUTIFULLY. That was her gift, but she allowed herself to be used by satan to pervert it. I believe satan himself was jealous of her beauty and did everything he could to destroy her and destroy her face and her purpose. That's why all that happened to her- the rape, the mental and physical abuse, the drugs and demonic oppression. But God didn't let her die till she fulfilled her purpose, thankfully. There is nothing wrong with being pretty or a model. She was using it the wrong way tho. I wish she would have continued modeling but not for playboy or anything scandalous. She was so natural and had so much influence that NO OTHER model has today.
PrettyTiaF I'm not saying there's something wrong with beauty... I would try to explain but I doubt you would understand. Respectfully.
At the end where she says, "That's me." the look of total innocence and a bit of sadness on her face just pains me. RIP, Ms. Matthews.
Chris P Yeah I felt that when she said those words 😭💔😩
me too
I think the sadness is from the fact that she was never getting a REAL break. It was always about Prince. That's a shame. Nothing to do with the business at hand, but the lousy journalists and audiences alike who never gave her a chance away from Camp Prince.
I dont see that
She is so beautiful! She has no makeup on and she looks amazing. RIP
A kind heart and one of the finest women ever.

you ever where lol ..agree glad she changed her life
there was nothing wrong with her life she was sexy and glamorous.

She did change. Prince ironically was doing more work interviews about God before he died...

Denise was always gorgeous, but during this time period it's a dark aura around her that kinda puts a smug around her. I can notice it...........it takes away from her.

It's called cocaine.
That "aura" you pick up on is called satanism. Being fine and rich is dangerous. For her. God Bless You Egun.
This is one of the interviews where she was high... hands down. But wow she was gorgeous.
There is no truth to that . She always had an upbeat like personality. And if you watch some of Prince’s interviews he was copying him in this interview .

Was in love ❤ with the woman, back in the 80s!!! Wooooo... ❤❤❤❤❤❤
this bish is my inspiration for REAL I watch this & wanna workout 😗
Still naturally beautiful even if she was under the influence during this time but she later straightened herself out and became a Devout Christian.
I think that she was suffering from personal demons that she never talked about particularly her childhood
I was sent here from Ashley says so!
Ella fue Tan hermosa.... RIP Denise...
Her and Prince were meant for each other.
Ikr. The fact that they both died at 57 and were months apart tells me that they were real soulamtes. They never stopped loving each other
That Jackson Girl Is Bad Exactly! They were soulmates from the very beginning since they've met each other! I don't care what anyone says..
ariana336pm People would disagree and say that Sheila was his soulmate. I like her and all, but Vanity took Prince's breath away. When she left him, she took some of his heart and mind with her.

Very beautiful but you can clearly tell this is one of her drug moments. She's very spaced out like in and out of it.
that painting of vanity at 0:49s is dope. i would buy that
A friend once said, "Pocahontas🌹BEAUTY is a curse. Its true BEAUTIFUL women are bullied, sexualized, raped etc.
Rest in peace girl. Amazing beauty.
She's all drugged up here. Sad. Glad she turned her life around.
Yeah in every interview, that´s not too ugly tho, like it usually is, but it is painful to watch, at least for me. Imagine the beauty she would have been without the drugs, I mean, we can feel she has things to say.

She let the fame get to her. She could have been the black Madonna! But she got out of hand. I'm happy I guess, that she found God and is going in a positive direction.
From one addiction to another.
She was many heights ABOVE 'madge'. Was DEFINITELY a MUCH more talented singer/performer.

I can’t find her book, “Blame it on Vanity” anywhere! Where can get it??
i liked Vanity] wanted to hear the songs prince dedicated to her] heard it was "the beautiful one" where he put her actual name in it]
she looks east-indian here.
she does. Black white mix.
***** Yeah, here in particular she definitely does. In some vid/pics I can tell what she is though.
Her dad was black and mom German
Eccentricka1 She has some Indian in her. Denise Matthews(vanity) Mother is German Polish & her Father is African American with Indian(look it up).
I looked it up..No Indian! only all black and white.. when you're mixed you look exotic..

RIP beautiful..
damn this chick was geeked up like she just finished snorting an entire 8 ball by herself
badabingnyc free base!!!! Lol
Nope, sadly Crack Rocks, but its all relevant...she imploded with her fame and wanted a way out
It's funny, to me she and Lisa Bonet's mannerisms are very similar

Sure. He could have but then how would he be able to use her as a tool to reach other people suffering like wise on what God could do for them?
steelty He gives people messages all the time, but ppl usually don't want to listen until they're at the lowest point and realize they need something higher than themselves.
steelty I think that would be the best time to come to someone, when they're most vulnerable. Negative energy (The devil or whatever) plays on people's vulnerability all of the time...
Wish I had her back then
RIP Vanity.
