[ssevkin]

[XxBabyGurlLovexX]

LOL LOVE IT!! xD Baby still got it, and don't care what anyone says about it! Baby got moves like no other!! Once a DeBarge, ALWAYS a DeBarge! He killed this baby!!! :D

[rarabarak]

loll at the :20 mark El telling them he needs a louder sound..he still does that ...if you are an El head like me you would know that he does that anytime they're stingy with the mic sound

[brother234]

this is the real De Barge here, he is really alive on coke maybe.

[heartandsoul202]

[xXKhaoticRinoXx]

LMFAO! THAT LADY TRYED TO TOUCH HIS HAIR! hahaha that just made my day! xD

[CaptainJess1994]

El MASTERED that tootsie-roll

[ninacleveland]

..... the only thing I can do is laugh out loud! I love El Debarge! ooh lol lol. El is great!...lmao.. lmao.

[mrsmjackson1]

this song could stand up to todays sounds and more. El has some great dancing songs from way back.

[Jewelz9013]

LOL El needs to stay away from the butterfly!! But the performance was good though.

[tunbev]

@Jewelz9013 check him out on the "Real Love" vid....I love watching him move doesnt matter how he is doing it!!

[mrsmjackson1]

Man, this man was away far tooo long. So sweet to see this video. Glad he's back!! El is gorgeous.

[ShamironOnline]

El can really sing , such a sexy brother ...

[bonitaxoxo007]

Pretty good moves he got right there!!!!!!!!!!!!

[songcandid]

I love that dance! He's so awesome and hasn't aged at all! I hope he tours once his album comes out in September ♥♥♥

[TheDancergurl1]

your way sexier than mj and better

[j3271979]

This was a really great song. Very much slept on

[raynay1500]

I laugh so hard when i see this video where was I when he did this the butterfly.

i love it.

[benzz2006]

LOL That girl in the audience almost reeled him in, that woulda been kid #11 LOLOLOL

[benzz2006]

Oh snap, was that the tootsie roll?! This performance was very Marvin Gaye-ish.

[scrunchnmunch0426]

El is ONE of the best vocalists ever, but my prayer is he would return to his roots and offer his gift up to Jesus only. that's why his life has been tumultuous. I don't pray for his continued demise but that the rest of his life would pale in comparison to his life thus far. God Bless El Debarge....one of the greatest.

[raynay1500]

Amen to that one , but I did enjoy that video

[cguttafbc]

He's all man; looks like all man, acts like all man, sounds like all man. He's the best at what he does. Stop discussing valueless things. He's a singer. People who look for meaningless crap have nothing else to do but criticize because they ain't got no talent themselves. El is in my top 5 of entertainers. He's nice to listen to and look at. All man baby!

[iamDamitaJo]

Girl he ALL MAN, LOL!!! i couldnt have said it better myself....love that Brotha!

[TJandDana06]

@iamDamitaJo I love El DeBarge 2. hope i get to see him in concert someday. He is ONE of the greatest! And OH SO FINE!!!

[iamDamitaJo]

@TJandDana06 Yes, that's my Baby and he is Supa Fly...LOL!!!

i heard he did so great at the BET Awards and i missed it. I can't even get time to catch a repeat of the show. Im not surprised though, he is just awesome.

[TJandDana06]

@iamDamitaJo girl he was amazing. I have the video of it on my facebook page if u have one as well. if u do, go check it out & u can eeven send me a friend request =]

[iamDamitaJo]

@TJandDana06 Hey Mama, sorry that im replying so late...Girl yes, that would be really cool, i'll email you my info...thanks so much!!!!

[inalud]

Man, I used to love this song when I was in high school!! I grew up on the DeBarges and have always been a fan! Thanks for posting!

[larstcon]

Wow I remember seeing this live when I was like 15!!! The crowd started laughing when he started doing the butterfly. Ilove El to death but this performance was comedic even if he didnt mean for it to be. For yall that dont know, Jermaine Dupri actually produced "Slide" and actually raps on the album version.

[dirtyharry1312]

do u know how many kids this man has, with 59 different people!

he is not gay

[fckinhawt01]

el is so fine and sexee

i want him to slide my way...

[angelalonnettpreston]

omfg...is EL really supposed to be released from prison in 2010??? i'm goin 2 cry my heart out...I Love You EL!!!!!

[ashnickwill]

yep 2010, i PRAY he gets special privaligies cause he os TOOO pretty to be in jail.... my man is locked up girl damn...

[angelalonnettpreston]

oh god...i'm goin crazy...EL is soo freakin sexy

[JERRiCKKABaBy]

Yes U on yo own wit dat boo aint nun bout him gay cuz i agree 100% wit ashnikwill

[reeree212]

Am I the only one who thinks he comes off gayish?

[ashnickwill]

omg YES!! cause i kno MILLIONS of woman would fuck him in a second..

[reeree212]

many women fall for downlow men

[angelalonnettpreston]

nd i'm one of them...lol

[fckinhawt01]

i think ur the only one....=]

he never came off as gay to me...neither him or his family...

[HoneyKone]

El Debarge is definitely NOT gay. This man has about 60 kids and he had his first when he was about 15 years old. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Just because he's got "pretty boy" looks doesn't make him gay.

[reeree212]

Take your own advice. Just because a man has several kids doesnt mean he doesnt sleep with men..but I know you'd prefer me to keep that on the "downlow". Plus him and some of his siblings were molested by their Dad. His sister Bunny wrote a book about it.His pretty boy look has nothing to do with my opinion.

[HoneyKone]

Being molested by his father doesn't make him "gay." The man has 11 kids and the first was born when he was 15 years old. That's a helluva lot of kids for a "gay" man to have.

Can you offer some concrete proof that he is "gay?" Hmmm.... I didn't think so.

[reeree212]

The point is that having kids doesn't mean you can't be gay. It's called "keeping up appearances".There are plenty of men with a wife and kids sleeping with men on the side..Wake up!

[HoneyKone]

Yes, but where is your proof that El Debarge is gay?

[reeree212]

Come on..Neither one of us have proof to "verify" his sexuality, because we've never been in his bedroom.You have your "opinion" and so do I. I think he's gay..bottom line.

[HoneyKone]

What is your "opinion" based on? You've confirmed that you have no knowledge of who is in his bedroom. I KNOW that he has had sex with women, based on the fact that he has several children. That's what my "opinion" is based on.... so, what is yours based on, again???

[reeree212]

That's fooloish because a gay man can produce children too.Anybody with a penis can inpregnate a woman.The fact that he produced children does not confirm whom he is sexually attracted to. .Producing children only confirms that your sperm is acute...ever heard of Governor McGreevey..google him,then you'll get it.

[HoneyKone]

The guy has ELEVEN children. I doubt very seriously that he had sex with women simply because he wanted to procreate. However, you have failed to reveal what your "opinion" that El Debarge is gay is based on..... I'm sure you must have some really convincing evidence. Share it, please....

[reeree212]

You keep repeating yourself..he has 11 kids..so what..how does that prove that he's not attracted to men just like all the thousands of downlow men with kids????answer that! I already stated his gayish mannerisms, and his own sister's book about his molestation and affects of it formed my opinion.

All u have at the end of the day is an "opinion"..not a confirmed fact.

[Honeykone23]

A downlow man with ELEVEN kids??? LOL The first one born when he was only 15?? Yeah, it sounds like he's definitely gay! You're right! LMAO!!!

It IS a fact that he has sex with women... a confirmed one. Now, can you confirm that he has sex with men???

[wilhelminasmth]

He's not. Don't listen to folks who don't have a clue what they're talking about.

[HoneyKone]

Hey.... I know he isn't gay. I was just being facetious. I hate when people come out and call somebody gay because THEY don't think he's masculine enough.  Gets on my damn nerves!

[wilhelminasmth]

Mine too. People are always talking about something and someone they don't know. To them, a rumor is better than the truth, even if they start the rumor.

[wilhelminasmth]

Get your facts straight. In Bunny's book, she said she was the only one molested, not any of the others. These were her words.

[cguttafbc]

Yeah, he's pretty and talented too.

[lldimples]

I love EL!!!! So Fine!! Come back to us EL!!!

[outspoken34]

"i need just a lil' bit mooore music" = turn the music up soundman! lol

[monuine]

I'm an eighties baby so I didn't get it when girls thought he was so fine and went crazy for him. But now I must say he is one sexy man with the cutest smile and the smoothest voice. But he's one of those guys who looks better with age because I didn't think he was that cute when he was with the group.

[mystique180]

It was probably all the hair, makeup, and flashy eighties fashion, which was a real distraction from his true beauty.

[BLAKPEARL69]

he can really sang. some artist sound like straight trash live.

[BLAKPEARL69]

you can butterfly my way anytime baby. fine song.

[breezycomicalqt]

LOl the lady in the front tryed to touch his at 3:03 LOLOlol

[shutupnlistentome]

xD oh wow.

[AmRickJamesBitches]

Haha LynRuiz. I had to do wat i had to do!

Ok I'll stop now, lol. I've made my point

[MizzYoli]

This video has got to be the best laugh I have had all day!! Thanks for posting it.

Damn,this takes me way back,considering I was the dark skinned brother in the background.

Wow

[badjab326]

really?

[kvocal1]

yup

[breezycomicalqt]

DO background singers get paid well

[deelowda1965]

What ever happened to Ms. Apollo? That was the old lady in the glasses, she used to always sit up front and grope on the male guests. HA HA HA!!

[rell531]

I believe she left when Steve Harvey left and then KeKe Shepherd left too and got her walkin papers...I remember her too So sad all good things come to an end...As Far as I'm Concerned Steve Harvey was the best host of Showtime At The Apollo

[iamDamitaJo]

@deelowda1965 LMAO!!!! Yup!!

[hamoan05]

El is the best he is Michael Jackson the way you wanted him. still not good enough for some of yall.

this world prefers Fags. thanks El for not been one.

better to be a drug addict than been a fag. no offence. Dont need to be a fag to think you the best

[sweetiepie01]

Grow up. El and MJ are both extremely talented. MJ was "it" becuase he was promoted well, tried to be more mainstream (like rihanna is doing now- with success), had better songs and could dance better...

[msvernice]

What year was this?

[Lswisdom7]

I remember that, they still in as far as I'm concerened, but they are stuck up as hell, just like the cute light skinned girls.

[rell531]

tHIS wAS WHEN LITE SKIN BROTHAS WAS IN LOL LOL

[russbro]

Ya were making a come back too. DAMN RIGHT lol

[rell531]

Yea lite skin making a slow comeback U got the rapper T.I. ...the dude Marcus Patrick from the stories..then there's my boy Daniel Sunjata from Rescue Me...and of course Terrence Howard to name a few!!!!

[rell531]

oh and Boris Kodjoe

[sweetiepie01]

and you forgot Chris Brown...

[duhjuce]

umm.. he lookin' sooo good i juss wanna take a bite I thank he wuz talkin' to me when he say you too much gyrl thass cewl cuz Chico minez anyway.. p e a c e

[ithons26]

el debarge is clean cut here.... what happen to all those hair?

[Nike5221]

El looks like Stevie Wonder trying to do the butterfly even though he's blind. Im sorry not feeling this one and the crowd was being nice to him, cuz normally they would boo!! I know El is better than this

[bigazzpimp407]

no, i'm pretty sure the crowd was feeling it. you sound like an idiot, and a hater!

[blackita]

im glad i see el everyday ^_^ he's my uncle hahaha

[Prettycitygirl]

Well, tell El "Hi" and get back out there so there can be some real music we can listen to!

[BenJabituya]

YOU ARE LUCKY!

[breezycomicalqt]

Your uncle is a beautiful person , hopefully we can get some beautiful music from him soon

[fckinhawt01]

well you got a handsome uncle...and his voice was too gorgeous

[Alyn08]

Everytime I see El do the tootsie roll, I just want to laugh. I'm always thinking, "no he did not" lol.

[kspeach]

El DeBarge is not new to the crowd at the Apollo. El and his brothers and sisters are veterans in front of the crowd at the Apollo. I KNOW, and I can tell from the applause I hear (don't know what the rest of yall was listening to), that the crowd was feelong him. Yeah, brother man did the butterfly. He can dance! Who cares when he learned the moves??? LOL. El Rocks and so does this video.

[shutupnlistentome]

Plz tell me the time he does the "butterfly"

[shydmples]

lol...I think they're referring to 1:12...I don't know if it's the butterfly or what...I can't dance, so I definitely can't judge anybody...lol

[shutupnlistentome]

LOL thx for tellinq me xDD

[raynay1500]

i agree with you kspeach they have real stage presence. i remember seeing them when i was 23 yrs old and it was snowing about to be a blizzard and nobody in the place came because of the snow and they still perform we was in the front loving it. it was a great memory.

[madmaxgroove]

Damn! Thanks for posting this vid... You took a brother back, for real!!!

[chalik360]

I done seen it all now.. El DeBarge does the butterfly??? Cmon now.. You can tell he just learned it to, because he wont let that move go!

[ATLNice]

i just had to read your comment twice i mean't three time n with everyone i jus burst out laughing you are right on the money.lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

[edgrady]

looks like he came close to getting booed off stage at first

[ATLNice]

funny very funny lol lol

[Kimmica20]

It looked like it, espcially when he was doing the butterfly, tootsie roll or whatever that was. Hahahahaha

[macksboy87]

this was the game.....we wasnt getin love from the apollo......they suck

[SoulPowerful]

What the heck did that old lady in the glasses think she was doing, LOL. This the most talented (and the most goodlookin') DeBarge in my opinion.

[BenJabituya]

Speaking of old ladies; They think I am cute, like El!

[BenJabituya]

Was that Steve Harvey at the start of this vid?

[kittkatt]

Yes it was.

[kittkatt]

It's always a joy to watch this one!!!. I have it on video.

[renee06]

[MasterKhem]

I liked this one a lot. El was doing his thing. He delivered so well and was teasin' the ladies. LOL, This was great

[nevra2hook]
