Default Stephanie Videos

I was browsing around on YouTube and decided to do a search on 'Ouragan', and I found the music video for 'Ouragan' - she sings in both English and French:



Here are some others:

You are welcome, Beatrice and these must be nice memories, saphills

Steph performing in a French television show - her trousers look like she had renovated and painted her flat earlier that day, don't they?!

Maybe Steph's voice has improved and gotten to be really good after more training, but guys, come on, let's be real. If she was not a princess, no one in the 80s would have paid attention to her so-called "music" back then. Those songs just weren't very good. Her voice just was not very good back then. Sorry. I like Stephanie a lot, but my liking her does not blind me to the reality of her talents. As a singer, she is just ok. I don't hear the "amazing"-ness that all of you hear in her voice.

In those pics posted by iceflower, the one with Stephanie in a pink blazer, i had to look twice as i thought it was a man at first! Not trying to be rude here, but her build looked like a mans build, not to mention the hair.

I have just had a chance to listen to Ouragan first time and it was really good.
Thanks for posting video links with Steph's music.

I was browsing around on YouTube and found a new/old video of princess Stephanie performing Flash at MCM "Ultra Kitsch" :(
The clip is high quality and lasts for almost 6 minutes. She signs, dances a lot and looks stunning :).
Here is link:

Actually, I don't like this kind of music. But I' bought a CD of her two years ago. (don't know the title, with irresistible, flash, fleur du mal, dance with me . . . )
To tell the truth . . . I know every song by heart! Just because I like Stephanie. Thats stupid

True. And the back-up vocals and musical arrangement were really designed to camouflage her thin voice. She sold the records that she did because people were interested in her being a princess.

Stephanie however was honest enough to admit to her vocal shortcomings in the book "Rainier and Grace" by Jeffrey Robinson. She admitted to being surprised herself of being able to record an album with her voice.

Her songs were catchy, feel-good little tunes, very like the pop songs of the Eighties. I found her voice to be pleasant, if a little weak. I enjoy the French versions more than the English versions.

The french language is more delicate and flimsy than English and therefore it is in line with Stephanie's voice. I also like the french versions more than the english ones.
I love the songs "fleur du mal" and "besoin" because they are a bit different. The other songs are typical 80ies pop song and I don't like the stuff from the 80ies. . .

Besoin is a great song, I actually think it's more of like a poem.
