Just sitting there on a chair, no gymics, no dancers, 8 months pregnant, in front of all those talented people & a worldwide audience, ripping out such a beautiful, memorable performance of a lovely song
2023 and listening! This song is a childhood memory in itself..my Mom used to have this song going playing in her car usually on some radio station. I always get butterflies listening to this!
@@jaquayviusThe song had been released in August 1991 on her "The Comfort Zone" album and as a single in early 1992, as it spent 6 weeks at #1 and charted throughout 1992. Therefore, it was a 1991 and 1992 song and it was nominated for a 1993 Grammy Award, which is where this upload is from.
@@lifeofneacy3891The song was released twice. First, in August 1991 as part of her album "The Comfort Zone" and as a single in 1992, as it made #1 on the Billboard charts for 6 weeks in a row in early 1992. So, that is why it met the criteria for the 1993 Grammy Awards, as shown here in this upload.
That is one weirdly specific thing I’ve noticed about her singing. She seems to annunciate every single word. Even the la da da! It’s not necessary but just her way of singing. Such a pro. And often an overlooked / underrated voice.
This fabulous record was first offered to Barbra Streisand, Linda Rondstadt and Celine Dion with each turning it down. Vanessa took up the mantle and scored a number one hit with the song in Australia, Canada and the United States - also making it to a very respectable number three in the charts here in the UK. Oddly enough, I can quite imagine Barbra Streisand singing this record, although a quarter of a century later - I can't imagine Vanessa not doing. I was only ten years of age in 1992 but can remember my mum singing along to this. Happy memories and one of the greatest records ever sung in the history of popular music. Chris (UK).
YEAH, EXACTLY. WHY DOESN'T VANESSA L. WILLIAMS WON A GRAMMY AWARDS, HUH? I TRIED 2 GET TO KNOW HER SONGS WHEN I WAS THE AGE OF 15, BUT I DIDN'T. BECAUSE SHE SHOULD'VE WON MULTIPLE GRAMMYS, BUT DAMN MAN!
@@CharlesThorpe-l4b YEAH, I KNOW THAT. BUT THIS FUCKED UP, ALRIGHT? WHEN I WAS THE AGE OF 15 I TRIED 2 WATCH THE 1996 BLOCKBUSTER FILM "ERASER" WITH ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER FOR WARNER BROS., BUT I DIDN'T. O.K.? I FUCKIN' LOVE THAT MOVIE, MAN! 😠😡😭 I'M FUCKIN' ANGRY AT MYSELF.
This song should go down in Guinness as the best love song ever!!!!!!!!! She is pregnant and singing her ssa off just like the record the live is better.
THANKU. I've become mesmerized by those last few seconds, its insane how she leaned on that note long enough to introduce that sublime ending, geesh, the "breath control' of it all. Rewind. Tthought I was the only person on this planet obsessed with that.
just remember those infamous pictures costed her the Miss America Crown. Considering the Academy is very conservative, I have no doubt they were influenced by those facts. Even Madonna needed a while to take her major Grammy...just in 1999!
One of the Grammy performances that are burnt in my brain. Vanessa looked gorgeous and her performance of "Save the Best for Last" remains a favourite of mine.
A lot of times in a live TV situation like this, singers will will lip-sync the vocals. None of that going on here! Totally sang it & nailed it. While pregnant. Also remember that there was no Autotune in 1993. So she wasn't leaning on that either. Always loved the vocal melody in this song. It's hauntingly beautiful. Vanessa Williams was, at this point & time, the most beautiful lady in the world.
She was beaming with life, beauty and talent, gorgeous performance. I'm sure that baby grew up to love music after mom was able to produce those vocals while pregnant, just beautiful 💖
This is probably the best version. The back ground instrumental music sounds different but better than the original. Here voice sounds better here as well.
Sometimes the snow comes down in June Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon I see the passion in your eyes Sometimes it's all a big surprise 'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish You'd tell me this was love It's not the way I hoped or how I planned But somehow it's enough And now we're standing face to face Isn't this world a crazy place? Just when I thought our chance had passed You go and save the best for last All of the nights you came to me When some silly girl had set you free You wondered how you'd make it through I wondered what was wrong with you 'Cause how could you give your love to someone else And share your dreams with me Sometimes the very thing you're lookin' for Is the one thing you can't see But now we're standing face to face Isn't this world a crazy place? Just when I thought our chance had passed You go and save the best for last Sometimes the very thing you're looking for Is the one thing you can't see Sometimes the snow comes down in June Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon Just when I thought our chance had passed You go and save the best for last You went and saved the best for last
Those incredible musical theatre skills on display. A stunning performance by a stunningly beautiful woman, and her motherly glow. It’s almost too much. 🫶🏾
Words cannot describe how much I love this woman and her absolutely beautiful voice. I thought she looked a bit heavier than usual, I looked it up and she was 8 months pregnant when she did this song in 1993. I thought that might be the case because she was sitting down during the fantastic performance.
Vanessa, Madonna, Jody, Sharon Stone, Rosie, just to name a few embraced the fight early on in their careers, gave hope, and inspired many! unlike so many "fake" favs from that era, beyawnce included.
Ohh My God! Ohh My God! Ohh My God! This Is Absolutely Phenomenal! I almost forgot that Miss Queen Vanessa Williams sang this Great Song at The Grammy's! 🎤❤️ At This Very Moment In Time She Has Proven That She Can Stand Up Again After All The Issues She Has Gone Through! That those people who posted her nude photos on Penthouse Magazine as well as those people who asked her to resign as Miss USA are all stupid and absurd. 😡👊 From this Album on her Star continued to shine so brightly. ❤️🙏 I hope they would post the original copy of this live performance of hers. Love This Song 'Save The Best For Last' So Much and Love Miss Queen Vanessa Williams! 🎤❤️🎁🎄🙏
May our wonderful dear sweet loving and precious HEAVENLY FATHER through his dear sweet wonderful loving precious Son JESUS CHRIST our SAVIOR bless Ms Vanessa Williams. I love her soulful voice and that ending is breathtakingly beautiful. Everytime she sings this lovely song live I am impressed by her perfection. This song bring back my childhood memories miss the 80's and 90's.

Almost 8 months pregnant (!) singing one the best songs ever. 👏🏻
She is so beautiful. Her face is a work of art. Beautiful voice 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love how loud & clear her voice is.
Yes! But it’s also dynamic. Beautiful ❤️
@@danaehernandez6794She is among the best of her era or any era.
One of my favorite voices of all time. Like silk. And her beauty and stage presence are mesmerizing.
All of that!
The best song of 1992.
1991
You must have never heard 'Will you be there'

VERY underrated singer!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Artist all around! NO AUTO TUNE EITHER!!!!!!!!!
Clear diction, great vocals and rich emotions. This what makes one of the best ever graced the stage.

Most beautiful woman in the world right there!

Chris (UK).
I heard Bette Midler turned itbdowm too.
Also number 1 in the netherlands. And it was meant to be. This is her song
This song also takes me back to childhood. I am so thankful for such a masterpiece. God bless.
@@ForeverMarcus check tou tube ahead song it better a few years ago
It's probably a good thing they turned it down. This song is for Vanessa it just as beautiful as she was back then.
She should have won multiple Grammy's! Vanessa is so talented and beautiful. She is perfection.

11 nominations , sadly not one award
@@sohoboy506YEAH, I KNOW. BUT SHE SHOULD'VE WON AN OSCAR, GODDAMN IT! 😠😡 I'M ANGRY AT MYSELF, MAN!
Eric Clapton said that she should of won the Grammy over him in his award speech.

Why she never won a Grammy is unreal
Joshua Tree she was in a very competitive era.
She had no chance... she was faced with the holy trinity of female singers in their primes.... Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Celine Dion
@@deelo2281 I'm sure vanessa had potential to be on their level vocally with more training but I guess she was content
Isaiah King True- Whitney’s purpose was to sing. God gave her that gift. 💕🦋
It doesn't matter what kind of competition you have all you need is that one great song!!'
Sometimes all you need is the simplicity of a well-written song.
This song should go down in Guinness as the best love song ever!!!!!!!!! She is pregnant and singing her ssa off just like the record the live is better.
I was 20 when this song came out. I loved it then. I love it now.
Her talent is surpassed only by her beauty
That very last section - she was in the zone … her expression, and how she leaned on the very last two notes was Magic
“Yeaaa ….. 🎼 🎶 🎵
eeaahhh ” 3:18
THANKU. I've become mesmerized by those last few seconds, its insane how she leaned on that note long enough to introduce that sublime ending, geesh, the "breath control' of it all. Rewind. Tthought I was the only person on this planet obsessed with that.
Jeez she is so beautiful!
How can this song not winning record of the year 😮
I HAVE NO IDEA, MY FRIEND.

@@jorgeantonioreinoso7579 YEAH, BUT VANESSA L. WILLIAMS SHOULD'VE WON AN OSCAR, GODDAMN IT!
Love this live version! Women tend to produce some of their best vocals while being pregnant. She slayed this!
Live, no autotune and pregnant.
Absolutely
I just tuned to watch and I immediately said, she's pregnant...we women can tell..😊
@@beago0810 Men too. (I'm a man)
I wish I could go back to those times where real talent was truly appreciated!
👏🏼 applause
and Respect 🏆
Her face... Soo pretty... Soo angelical... I was obsessed back in the day lol... I was like 8
this song is like a time machine it brings you back to the past
One of the Grammy performances that are burnt in my brain. Vanessa looked gorgeous and her performance of "Save the Best for Last" remains a favourite of mine.
Wow she was a very talented singer. Not just a model dabbling in music.
Yeah, like Naomi and Tyra
Real performances by real artists. Thank God for TH-cam or we would forget the Grammys were actually something to look forward to😢
.....absolutely agree 100%. Very well said ...back to a time when talent was real.
One of my favourite songs those days,each time I listen to the song It reminds me a particular novel James Hadley chase,I red that moment.
This song and artist are my favorite! I just always feel drawn Vanessa Williams. She’s one of my favorites and this song is just so beautiful 😍
We all love the Trinity (CD, MC, WH) but this song was MADE for Vanessa’s voice
Can’t imagine any of them pulling this one off
There is now an AI cover of Mariah "singing it" its as stunning as the original
Completely superb Dear Lady 🌹❤
Thank you
Mam, your dignity as well as your beauty are truly monumental. Thank you
God she sounds dreamy, looks beautiful ❤️❤️
Beautiful Vanessa, beautiful voice, beautiful song

Lindaaaa canção! Meus olhos lacrimejam, todas as vezes que ouço.🫶🏾🌻🫶🏾
One of the best song I love.
class act.. just sitting there, no hands on the mic and looking straight at the audience. almost too perfect in a way
❤️ God bless America!
It's one of my favourite songs. Such a beautiful rendering of a classic 😍 ❤
Class act also absolutely Gorgeous 💯
I love the verse says , some time what we look for it is something we can see.
One of the performer that balance both of singing & acting career.
Wow terrific job, breath support key to great delivery when singing, eight months pregnant and struggling for breath? Stellar performance 👍🏾
Love that ending yes miss America you still got that title to me you have grace and beauty.
Back when the Grammys had class
Is it me or is she incredibly beautiful and great looking?! Such an awesome voice and talented woman, thanks for the nostalgia Vanessa
She is!!!
Where are you from??
She's been one of the most beautiful women on the planet since the 80's
An icon here in America

Back when the Grammy had a real true classic talent of all times and Whitney houston was one of them including Vanessa Williams
I KNOW, RIGHT? I FORGOT 2 KNOW THE WORD LYRICS CALLED "SAVE THE BEST 4 LAST" BECAUSE I KNOW THE WORD LYRICS A LITTLE BIT, BUT MY BRAIN HURT.
She was beaming with life, beauty and talent, gorgeous performance. I'm sure that baby grew up to love music after mom was able to produce those vocals while pregnant, just beautiful 💖

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you
'Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're lookin' for
Is the one thing you can't see
But now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
You went and saved the best for last
Maravilhosa, Demais👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Vanessa Williams' dad was my dad's music teacher in school!
Now this is what beauty is all about!
