Ball Of Confusion (That's What The World Is Today)

[polomaster217]

richard tryin 2 be david ruffin dats neck

[MrNostalgiaX]

I know this doesn't matter to most people, but as a hardcore fan, the people who made this movie totally screwed up the solos. Notice how Richard sang the breakdowns Dennis used to by this point? Louis Price always did. And they had David singing Dennis's parts when Dennis was right freakin there next to him! And dont even get me started on the Papa Was A Rolling Stone part of this movie. The only correct part was Dennis's first lead and Damon Harris's part. Oh well whatever. Great songs though!

[Jeiygo]

@MrNostalgiaX Yeah man tell them how it is! I want the facts.

[Jeiygo]

@MrNostalgiaX I hate how they always try to make David the star. First of all Paul was better then David and he wasn't even the best temptation Eddie Kendricks was, David was lucky Eddie was on his side (if that's how the story really goes exactly I find something wrong with that because I saw an original interview where the real Eddie says he never wanted leave the Temptations..but thats another story)...

[ForEverKingzNASE]

@Jeiygo well only the temps will really know what happen with eddie

[babygirloficc]

THE MAN DAT SUNG ON THE ORANGE SIDE AGAINST DAVID IS TOO FINE

[Goodman910]

EDDIE KENDRICKS WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST SINGER 2 ever sing for the Tempts

[prettyinpink622]

0:34 to 0:51 Makes me laugh for some reason!

[TheNorthernSoulKing]

They need more music movies like this from the 60s and 70s

[xTDWPx210x]

temptations were the best when it was

paul

melvin

otis

eddie

and david! (:

[Rhaiah223]

I think the battle between David and Richard at 0:33 is the best part, lol. Pretty awesome to watch.

[Klickage]

@laylasohappy34 his voice pulls me in even more. If only I could meet him n person

[Dkybaby17]

I like the "new temps" moves on the "Heeyy!" part.

[Klickage]

Terron Brooks is sexy

[prettyinpink622]

@Klickage Sure is, and that's an understatement.

[Klickage]

@prettyinpink622 It really is an understatement lol

[prettyinpink622]

@Klickage It is! He's just a very sexy guy (and that's an understatement). I just love his swagger from 1:12-1:20. The way he walks, the way he claps his hands, the look in his eyes... *sighs*

[Klickage]

@prettyinpink622 ummmm ihis voice jus makes it even better

[prettyinpink622]

@Klickage I know! Why does he have to be so damn fine? It drives me nuts!

[Klickage]

@prettyinpink622 We should ask his mother that question lol

[prettyinpink622]

@Klickage Oh goodness! How awkward!

Me: "Mrs. (Brooks?), why does your son have to be so damn fine? It drives me nuts!

Mrs. Brooks: My son's fine?! EW!

[iLoveeTempestt]

Eddie Kendricks's Voice Is Super Sexy !

[beatletemps]

why isnt Dennis singing he was the lead singer

[SuperShepard1]

@beatletemps I know they showed David singing, but those were Dennis' parts! I was confused too. Also in the movie when theynwere singing "papa was a rolling stone" they showed Dennis singing Richard Street's part. Other than that I loved the movie.

[lilHippo]

1:00 looking at otis cracks me up. hes just bouncing away

[beatletemps]

the guy playing Glenn Leonard looks and sounds just like Glenn Leonard !!!!!!!

[MacCedy]

the ex tempts were better than the other ones

[mjjcng8958]

everytime i see db woodside on single ladies i think of this movie!! lo;l

[Thormotocross199]

whos the guy with the glasses

[choclets2]

@Thormotocross199

Leon playing as David Ruffin

[TGODKID]

Leon kills it. He knows he's the best.

[TheHeavensSpear]

Sorry,,..Leon was perfect for that role..He is good at playing arrogant roles. Very talented.

[theelectkickenass]

david & eddie were out of controll yet on fire R I P they still cant touch em

[jokester859]

the actor playing Eddie is yummy in this clip!

[lilHippo]

@Minymina1000 how about a thumbs down ass clown

[sweetsueohio2]

The original Temptations were the best.

[bestsingerever111]

nobody can replace the original Temptations!!!!!!!!

[clayrad1]

eye for an eye

[ScuzziRorschach]

Eddie looks like martin lawrence with that beard

[nickjlover47]

i like this song

[rajahn32]

i wish i was alive wen this happened

[a1992aron]

they messed this part up David Eddie and Dennis toured in the late 80's until 91

[Foorehtnossip]

i remember hearing this on acid .. wow .. today i flashBacked on christmas day

[cami725]

@keekie5 David, Dennis, & Eddie are fuckin hott.

[cami725]

0:59 to 1:05 (lmfao)at Otis hopping like a clown & Blue chessing like tht wit his happy ass. I love Blue & David.

[prettyinpink622]

@cami725 How about the Orange Team from 0:51-0:56? LMFAO!

[nastrocksxd18]

they should've had a part where the basses from both groups said "and the band played on"

[DatBKdiva]

look at eddie tryna show off his lil ring at 1:19 lol and dat dude singing at 0:33 in da red is sexy...jus sayin...lol

[cami725]

@DatBKdiva you got badd taste(lol).

[DatBKdiva]

@cami725 no i dont.u r blind.did u see da movie???watch it and look at how he looked in the begining of the movie...dat light skinned dude is sexy as hell fa reel..

[cami725]

@DatBKdiva light skin dude is Dennis. nw he is fine.

[DatBKdiva]

@cami725 no the one im talkin bout is richard...he is sexy.i think we need to set up a day n watch da movie together cuz u got it sooooooooo twisted lol

[cami725]

@DatBKdiva (lmao)bring it on then:))

[Panamaschild]

Leon, Ruffin's character is such an underrated actor in my opinion

[yeti189]

this song is more important today than ever!!!!

[trojanluck88]

This song was so ahead of its time!!

[killerdemon304703]

i got this movie

[OsmoseSound]

Yo!!  What is this movie?? I gotta see this!

[Datkid7534]

@OsmoseSound The Temptations mini series man

[Destiy557]

*sigh*...leon is just too fine.....and he can sing very well.....

[bless14me]

i have to reply to all the comment later...i love the movie....so i will do some research before i can judge...i am a early 70's baby, so i will get back to yall...if not then peace..love the temps

[qwertymanor]

This happened after though. Eddie and David split up from the temptations after the Reunion stuff.

[sxysinfield]

better than the actual song...

[rayraywife]

eddie group was good they were blasting but if paul would have joined god knows how many people would be watching i just hate paul killed his self but he could had join eddie and david like i say they would had been blasting

[NoraWakelyTenley]

@rayraywife Paul would've been the missing link to Eddie and David's group. Not only would their sound have been amazing but Paul choreographed for the group so the dancing would have been phenomenal. Paul was SO talented.

[motownazn]

What happened to Dennis that made him separate from the group?

[sxysinfield]

@motownazn He did what david did. He realised that he was the one earning the money... started drugs, turned up late... even tried to change the group name to dennis edwards and the temptations, so otis got rid of him... what it doesn't explain in the film is that david and dennis were very good friends so they got together in the end

[vipzonly]

"wooooo hey" I think MJ might have got his lines from this song... "all i wanna say"

[MJFCN93]

@vipzonly prolly, seeing as he was a huge fan of the temps

[vipzonly]

@MJFCN93 I didn't know he was such a fan... but, then again i don't know much about MJ, other then he has very talented!

[fyfytj]

Which Temptation is that singing at 0:25? He was never named in the movie.

[stu0812]

@fyfytj That's Glenn Leonard. Best known for singing lead on the Tempts version of silent night.

[fyfytj]

@stu0812- Thanks.

[slickkidmem1]

I love this song it telling the truth to whats going on in this world today. I listen to this song every day at least two or three time a day. This song will never die. The beat and the words to this song is awsome.

[sexyblack436]

i <3 the temps period . .!

[rrrgovernment01]

bloods vs. the crips. hahahahaha

[will434usmc]

great scene with the split screen

[MrJoseph435]

no they wernt david group didnt compare

[bigjay10]

DAVVVVIIIIDDD!!!!

[ctray]

Is there a reason why the producers had David singing this song for the blue group instead of Dennis? After all, Dennis was the one who actually recorded the song with the group, not David. It just seemed dumb.

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

@ctray Thank you Plus Dennis had returned to the Tempts in 1980 while David and Eddie were performing as a duo

[tiantazz1]

i can listen to this song over and over its the truth

[legal32]

"Without me, y'all just the temptations lookin for a David Ruffin." LOL!! All great lead singers have an ego.  It's just comes with the territory.

[brothaontherun]

Dennis would at least clean up from Drugs and it was different. Dave was so hooked on the Dope, call it what it is, (Dope). That he could not sing his way back to the light

[ajkrunch94]

yall some fake ass temps,IM DAVID RUFFIN

[Majik808]

@ajkrunch94 without DAVID RUFFIN y'all

aint NOTHING!

[shawlasosexy01]

david was cute

[MystickalChristian]

man...david and eddie really were "the voices"

[MsVarrie85]

eddie face and movements.. lmao!

[joe05061993]

you are retarded...

[DONNAS7ANGELS]

I love this movie

[dnjrobo]

Richard is a beast

[ec13andre]

cool music man

[10Tuxedo]

Is that Richard Street matched against David Ruffin or is that another singer?

[dnjrobo]

@10Tuxedo your right its richard and david

[colbymercury]

Stay in school toodly. Great english..

[ToodlyPoo13]

iHated wen dhey splited up...dhat really pissed meh off

[SexyProfess]

. . . And @ 1:26. ;-)

[SexyProfess]

. . . Favorite part @ 0:24. ;-)

[bramstokerful]

Was this part of a film? Denis was easily the best singer.

[hazin786]

yea thats glenn leonard vs eddie kendricks

[LmySR17]

haha otis and blues group does sooo nerdy in this video ( 1:00- 1:05 ) as compared to eddie and davids group. soooo slick ( 1:11- 1:21 ) ... i especially like otic bobbing up and down lol....classic

[Redrumhydro]

haha otis lookin all stupid, lol david n cornbread temps is way better

[LmySR17]

@LmySR17 haha yea eddie; doesnt get any smoother :) and david was just the shit, lets be honest. love otis and blue, but they looked striaght up dorky.... still love the classic 5 though... paul, eddie, otis, david, and melvin <3

[doowoppingchainsawer]

Ball of Confusion is the best song they ever did.

[djishailed13]

That part was so intense, it really tells the story of their song.

[chadleegray]

David and Eddies temps were better as they were the voices

[kaliedoscopesharinga]

yeahhh no

[Redrumhydro]

fuck yeah im surprised dennis went with em

[JYC316]

@chadleegray they also had dennis who was the voice of the group also

[chadleegray]

@JYC316 maybe so but dennis shouldnt of been a voice it should of always been david he has the better voice dennis is meh

[JYC316]

@chadleegray i def agree with that but david got kicked out of the group so they needed a replacement and that was dennis. david is the best but he had problems.

[trojanluck88]

@chadleegray Agreed!!

[joshmosh99]

its funy the charecters in the movie look NOTHING LIKE THE REAL TEMPS

[TheNBAfan1]

the person who plays david kind of looks like the real one

[BZOE]

lol thats why he was picked to play him

[djishailed13]

except david

[SpeedyJay247]

i'll type howeva tha hell i want... if u dnt like it den go to hell and u aint gotta see it no mor....

[D0ublezer0x]

Just another ignorant nigger who thinks he's above the system.

[SpeedyJay247]

bitch, i hope u fukin die 4 bein racist.. and hatin.. y the fuck r u worried about wat im doin aniways.. bitchazz mothafucka..

[D0ublezer0x]

I'm not worried about what you do. Actually you just make it easier for people to see that whites are the superior race.

[SpeedyJay247]

bitch pleez.. get it strate

[D0ublezer0x]

Denial is not a river in Egypt.

[sleepyace1]

haha ive heard that a hundred times and it never gets old lol classic

[tuzwol]

ya'll are only superior at getting killed by animals,thats it

[sleepyace1]

if that was the case u wouldnt have to argue about it would u? i guess in this day and age superiority is arguing like a kid?

[SpeedyJay247]

LUV Diz Song... and itz so sad that there is no musiq like dis nowdays

[gta4lovr]

i no right

[NecronNecri]

What's sad is that you think you are something special because you type like that.

Translation:

Wutz sad iz dat yoo tink ur sumthing speshal cuz yoo tipe lyke dat.

[PALIMOST]

i'm a david fan but on this song dennis is the man!!

[cactusjack39]

This movie was one of my very favorites. But in this scene, I was wondering why David is singing Dennis's part?

[raveonsteviewoo]

Because he's better than Dennis. Just kidding. Sort of. No offense to Dennis.

[BreakinTheCitysHeart]

I love this part of the movie and I think David ruffins part is awesome! Its just so sad drugs robbed him of so much.

[vcfrnhjuhn]

david and eddie's version was way wayyyy betterr.

[ntoyou]

I heard the other guy for about 1 second 33 second in the song in the rest was david

[mssquirrely]

MY FAVORITE MOVIE !!

[CasteloserROX101]

This is one of my favorite scenes. :)

[REDXLR8]

is it bad-ive been a temp fan since i was young but i like most movie versions better....

[raveonsteviewoo]

REDXLR8, no, it's not bad. I mean you got hottt guys like Leon in the movie right? So it's hard not to love the movie. Besides the graphics and the clarity is so much better in the movie, so as GREAT as the Temps are, it makes it easier to watch the movie visually.

[skaterdj67]

this song is bad...david ruffins part is ridiculous....all the songs on this movie are good.

[jimbronxny]

dont like it

[LiZZ071394]

Blue Is Hilarious When He Dances!

[ILYmuchosluv]

and otis

[msoclassychik]

question?!?!?!

why did the lead singer (the one after david) leave blue and otis to sing wit eddie and david?

[raveonsteviewoo]

Because he (Dennis Edwards) was late to rehearsals and missing sessions and was doing drugs, just like David. He was fired 3 different times and he hooked up with Eddie and David.

[msoclassychik]

see the movie leaves out so much!!

thankss

[unconditionalluv]

Damn just about every singer had a addition back then!

[raveonsteviewoo]

As far as we know a lot of singers still have addictions. It's easy to say kick the habit though. I have a cigarette addiction, which is also really hard to kick, because I love to smoke.

[ripmichealjackson200]

got damn david is so damn sexxi and eddie and i like eddie and david group betta and david said that part good and fast

[PALIMOST]

in my opinion if the stuff that is said about ruffin is true, they should have kicked him out, because when edwards came in they kept rollin

[GregoryMcIver]

I finally got some closure from the movie on the two group, because I was a young teenager want to be and totally onfused. Thanks for posting this.

[oleskoolk85]

dhisz 1 of my favorite parts of dha movie

[alanfordfloor]

asome

[xxxginoxxx92]

otis didnt want david back because he thought he was bigger then the group but dennis didnt think like that so otis took th one with less problems

[tuzwol]

All 4 Tempts fired Ruffin,he did many chances like "eyeonwashparish" said. The movie has to be dramatic. David got himself fired,just know that Berry Gordy made the final decision as only he has the power to fire people

[Jennykate1985]

:@tuzwol: WELL SAID, DAVID RUFFIN, OOPS MY BAD, MEANT TO SAY CRUFFIN GOT HIMSELF FIRED BECAUSE OF HIS DISGUSTING BIG FAT ASS EGO!.

[gabbieandtasha]

actually three did cuz eddie wanted him in cuz he new dat him n david was dhee voices so how yhu feel

[eyeonwashparish]

Based on reading Otis' novel, David was given many many chances. The stuff that kat did was just foul in my opinion. When he was there and handling business, he was great as numerous videos and testimony can attend to. But when he wasn't.......unless Otis made it up, this kat ditched a performance to go be with his lady. Who does stuff like that? The man was talented no doubt. But this doesn't put him above foolishness.

[cobal2081]

I believe everyone who joined the temptations was talented.. but no matter what.. you just cant replace Eddie.. Paul and David Ruffin.. I just wish they could have somehow found a way to keep it them five with otis and melvin..because i think they would have made some more cool tunes together.

[daisysilver]

This song is brilliant and the video is really clever love it.

[MegaMaverickMan]

Thanks Aljor00. I thought it was either him or Glenn Leonard.

[raveonsteviewoo]

Dennis joined David and Eddie because Dennis was fired. It was said that he, like David, had a drug and attitude problem and also missed rehearsals etc. But "unlike" David, Dennis was fired 3 times. Why couldn't Otis give David a second chance???

[Aljor00]

yeah but Dennis never stole the mic from the Temptations' lead singers.

[raveonsteviewoo]

Aljor00, true, but in a lot people never focus on anyone else's bad attitudes...etc, just David's. I'm not saying that he couldn't be a jerk at times, I'm sure he could, but Ruffin is solely "DEMONIZED".

[raveonsteviewoo]

at xxginoxx92, Dennis might not have been as big headed, but he was a heavy drug user and did miss shows like David. I believe Dennis was fired like 3 times by Otis.

[MegaMaverickMan]

Does anyone know who's singin falsetto for the red suit Tempts opposite Eddie?

[solorzanolao]

pause on 1:23

i know that there's glenn,melvin,richard,who's the 4th guy?,and otis

who is that guy?

[AnimeFreakLover201]

i couldn't really tell but I think he's the guy who replaced Eddie Kendricks after he left

[BARRACUDA112]

louis price he replaced dennis.

[kyokomirror]

Why did Dennis leave Otis's Temptations? I don't remember...

[ladygirl217]

no he didn't that how it was a posed 2 be u just misunderstood ^_^

[bigwill123456]

david messed up wen dey first start clappin look
