Hi showmethetv! Welcome to the board and thread. I totally agree Vanessa is a great actress, she's very talented. Are you a fan of Hannah Montana? I'm not so I didn't see the movie but I'm sure she was great in it anyway!

Same here, it's awesome that some celebs use their status to try and do good, but also just makes them seem more regular and "normal."

I saw her CD in the shops today, it was pretty cool

They seem more down to earth.

It's great when people choose to do that stuff when they have the resources.

That is cool about her CD. Yay for her!

Has anyone actually bought her CD yet? I wanna know what kind of music she's got before considering a purchase.

Wynter · 07-13-2009, 02:51 PM

If you look back a page, you'll see that I've posted a few videos of her songs and her performing in general, so you should get an idea of her music from those

Congrats to Vanessa on her Emmy nom!

I'm really happy about it.

Wynter · 07-16-2009, 04:19 PM

Congratulations Vanessa!

Though it doesn't surprise me, because she is awesome

Hmm. How did I miss that? Okay, so I heard the two recorded songs (because on the whole, I prefer studio music to live performances.) And it really sounds good.

If I don't buy the CD, I'll definitely download those songs!

And of course, congratulations to her on that Emmy nomination.

She deserves it.

Cross-posting this, just because Vanessa is the one who talked about it:

Betty's Musical Is Back On!

"Our musical episode is back on!," Vanessa Williams tells me exclusively. "I think it's going to be our 16th episode of the season."

Vanessa, who was just nominated for an Emmy for her role as Wilhelmina Slater, says Hairspray composer Marc Shaiman, who was attached to compose the songs for a scrapped 2007 musical episode, may no longer be involved.

"The man who does our original scoring will be writing some of the music. I think it's going to be a combination of original material and some really popular pop tunes—similar to Moulin Rouge, pop tunes integrated into a musical show. We're all really excited about. I'm sure Wilhelmina's material will be really biting!"

Yay!

This is exciting

Also some pictures of Vanessa with her 20-year old daughter Jillian at the NYC premiere of Harry Potter a week or so ago:

Veiled Vesta · 07-26-2009, 05:29 PM

Oh neat! That means she likes Harry Potter!

BTW, I should probably know this but where is the NYC HP movie premier usually held? Or at least where was this year's premier held?

Wynter · 07-29-2009, 05:46 AM

I googled, and apparently it was at the Ziegfeld Theater on the 9th July.

I like that both Vanessa and her daughter were wearing denim, the matching is cool

colorful_dust · 07-29-2009, 05:04 PM

The matching is cute. Thanks for the pics.

Love the bit about the musical episode.

I can't wait to hear Vanessa sing in it.

Wynter · 07-30-2009, 02:27 PM

Vanessa will totally rock the singing. I wonder what Wilhelmina would sing about though.

Thanks Sadia.

Wili's got to have some kind of high octane, crazy cool song for that future musical episode. Though I can't seem to combine her soft smooth singing voice with her villainous yelling voice.
