Leela James - Baby, I'm Scared Of You

[MrLeegeorgiou]

magic?

[Onlythetruth247]

OK, she is just too cool. R&B for sure.

[luvmifro]

that was nice...Loved it...thanks for posting:)

[porkchop745]

great song, lousy video

[tmartinclark]

loooooooove this song...been looking for this version for FOREVER! lol

[Caiente559]

she looks like Ophra. I like her thuo!

[MrMiketsmith]

nice, but no where near as good as the original

[USMCtop4top]

dang! just when I was bout 2 get my groove on, song ends...def should of been longer

[TheAudrisrozelle]

This woman is the truth!

[sasszy89]

LOVE this shit! it so relaxing when ur chilling with yr home girlz.GREAT VOICE keep the music coming would love 2 here more Betty Wright from u r Womack and Womack.

[tonyblair999]

@ILuvMusic4real =) H.E. REV.DR. YORK IS FREE!!!

[crit1227]

Yes lawd my bar music. If your not from Jersey. You wouldn't understand. Paradise was my bar.

[sirratloc]

Wow! I didn't know Oprah and Lauryn Hill had a baby together! Lol....anyways, Leela has done what most people cannot do! She has actually taken a great original and made it better!! Leela is the greatest!!! I'd play bass for her for free....well, almost free! Lol

[AyEEniCKii]

@sirratloc lmaoo oprah and lauryn hill das a good one.

[bearATL05]

Leela is beautiful, physically & voice-wise...I simply love her!!

[travmac80]

She is very talented and i really like her verision of this song. I cant believe I just heard this song for the 1st time last month. I must admit that i like the Womack version better b/c of the breakdown at the end. I love his part.

[BoohemaYaa]

looool i just discovered this song today its a tune though i love this more than the original :)

[tonyblair999]

these new people always F-ING UP A CLASSIC!!!! IM DISGUSTED

[jazzycassadine]

@tonyblair999 I'm not exactly disgusted but I do agree that this has nothing on the original. Her spin on it removes so much of the soul (the runs, riffs, etc). She dulls it down. Seems like something you'd here in a sleezy bar that can't afford to pay its singers...lol

[ILuvMusic4real]

@jazzycassadine This is an edited version for the video. The album version is a little over 5mins long. It sounds real nice.

[imyjam]

@jazzycassadine Lol! @ sleezy bar comment. I remember a Bar owner goin back on his word and payin my band less than originally agreed...lol. However I think her version is quite nice.

[ILuvMusic4real]

@tonyblair999 Aw, that's too bad.

[BrownDiva29]

Another Fav song of hers i enjoy..

[sexyjewel48]

love this song done by her, we need more music like this. but what stations are playing their style of music (neo soul)! its a shame! ole head so i love soulful music with folk that can really sang! n don't need studio magic (smile)

[MrScubalibre]

zouk riddim .... really nice .!!!

[nubenell24]

i love this song soooooo much and when i first heard it......i turned it up so loud in my car on the expressway...going 70mph

[ShugaShugaRai]

she is just beautiful and her voice is to die for!! this is not only what you call an artist but shes a real woman

[fastbiker1234]

I love this woman's vibe! She is so sexy!

[SillyKisha]

What a woman!..Da-amn!..Love her style!..

[zeelove8]

I love her style, not since luaren Hill has any one been so nice an smooth with it,, an lil miss Layla J, has that true soulfulness, she's amazin,,,*

[pianoman74]

wow, that feels like good ol' Soul Train times :))) But hey, it's a 2000's video xD

[warriormami]

Womack & Womack did it better. I hate remakes & SHE DID NOT do this song any justice.

[Pirate7X]

@warriormami Leela is a an incredible, talented, innovative SEXY ARTIST.

But I do agree, it's disappointing someone of her skills did not do this justice. She could probably do a good version live on stage with a male singer doing the closing vamp like the original.

[BrownDiva29]

This is my ish!!!... Oww.. Go head Leela.. !!!.. I... I.. I dont believe in magic.. I believe. I believe in love everlasting..

[parisel313]

Sing it girl! Millie and Candy!

[Onegurrrlrev]

too good to be unnoticed. Maybe she is singing in the wrong music genre. If she was doing rock or pop like Shingai (noisettes) i bet she would get more recognition.

[antjuanoden]

MARRY ME LEELA!!!

[TheGrownasswoman]

Grown & sexy Ms James does it well ....(Baby I'm Scared of you).

[VirginUbiquity]

couldn't agree more harlemkid:) cool soul laid back song with a stunning singer...need we meed more?;) <3

[allbiznessboxing]

This lady here is what I call sexy. Man she is jazzy. Nite time anytime is the right time with her.

[Qluvz2beluved]

Saw Ms. Leela on The Monique Show.....people, i'm tellin you. I don't turn women out, but this is one woman i'd DEFINITELY make an exception lol. So glad our generation (Gen-Y) has our own soul sista, a REAL soul sista! I'm in love ^_^

[miamiwax]

THIS SONG NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST 6-7 MINUTES LONG!!!!!!!! TOO GOOD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE!!!

[wphillybabe1]

lord this woman better be glad i'm married!!! dam she's fine and she can sing!!!! but my HERsband looks better......

[crat4life]

They shole look like they are having a good time!!!!!

[Specialdark23]

This is a more laid back version!  I like it!

[The504lover]

love it

[Yanica1627]

A really smooth, groovy song. I love it!

[Kelnnc818]

LOVE this and the original....Can someone please point me in the direction of the nearest liquor-house please?....LOL 

[TyjaluvsChaka]

Bout time someone had the sense to cover this soul classic.I thought Chaka would've being it has a lot of her elements in it!!!

[nhXCdboy]

sooo fine

[tina11275]

love this song great remake

[otisdoes]

The editing on this video is off the hook, who did the editing?

[mschas2006]

This is my song...if you got games and tricks for me!

[nonstopflight08]

She looks like a cutier version of Oprah lol

[pianoman74]

@nonstopflight08 hey!!! that's mean! :P

[Kaknelson]

souuuuul

[nhXCdboy]

she is sexy as hell omg!!!!!!!!!!

[datemash]

can't decide between this one and the original, they are both jamming. love the beats.

[myhappyness1]

I've been sleeping on this wonderful talented young lady. I'm awake now. She is such a great singer & she has that unique voice. I hope she won't be looked over as some of the other good talent that we have been blessed with. Blessings to you Leela James.

[ciaridah]

very nice interpretation, true to the original however very nice twist.

[shadayafreeman]

I listen to this almost everyday! So soulful...her moves,music,voice,even them damn faces...yeah she did her thing on this one! Thanx for posting

[eflat1968]

Yes getting lot's play here in Oakland, CA ! What a great track!!!

[nhXCdboy]

I NEED THAT!

[almokla]

I love the bass line.. last part with the phrasing is amazing I wish it lasted longer

[TerraRyzinglives]

Her voice is similar to Joss when Joss goes to her lower register, but I think Leela's shit is more natural and she is just better.

[peacejk]

this entire cd is classic, sultry and should be on top ten of list for r&b

[TheMidcoast1]

This girl jammed on this one!!! this is played in the clubs alot.

[VideoPharaoh]

Leela James is a true songstress

[AmiableOrchid]

Sounds like Joss Stone!

[ladyluck538]

looove this song...this is my jam

[yesusisgodloves]

but lauryn more preetier than her

[benGO94]

no Leela is prettier in my eyes but everyone has their own opinions

[ladyluck538]

she is not, they look a lot a like...she just has a lil more meat on her bones...they are both beautiful black women...its not a competition

[yesusisgodloves]

i think she looks more like Lauryn Hill is that right?

[debalynz]

Love this tune!

[2madd86]

I saw her in ATL. fall of '09 . POWERFUL ! SHOW . if she comes to your town its a must see. hope she comes back soon

[VideoPharaoh]

@ 2madd86

What was the admission price and was the venue sold out? Thx

[bj4beps]

omg... this chic looks like Oprah!

[coreymiller21]

ok, i got up way too early this morning and came across this song. needless to say, after hearing this fierce Songstress, i no longer needed any coffee. she's simply amazing! i so was taken back to the soulful simple days of my youth. i could only smile and begin my search for more of her material. i am now a devoted fan:)

[putitontoast7]

Leela James is r&b's unsung hero . . . so sexy , so talented and I love her ! Her Lauren Hill, Melinda Williams and Oprah must be from the same tribe in Africa !

[tisha812]

I'm diggin' this.

[Discormt]

This is one of my FAVORITE songs! HOT ASS REMAKE indeed!! Disco LIVES baby!!!

[RP4EVR]

Oooo.. . mad sexy appeal, caught my eye

[dia92008]

i heard this song some time ago, and loved it.I know it's someone else song,but LEELA jAMES verison is nice, haven't heard Syleena Johnson verison of it(the original singer of the song)

[deweze3]

sweet.  she's like a juicy ripe plum. mmmm i like me some leela.

[shadayafreeman]

@deweze3 Yes Suuuuh!

[strawberrykisses0106]

She looks like a younger version of Oprah...she can sing her behind off...

[DeliciousDimplesTV]

for a second i thought you looked like Lauryn Hill

[CHolt1914]

Can someone PLEASE post the original Womack and Womack version?

[DeliciousDimplesTV]

i did...and Youtube deleted it....bastards

[millfordsange]

Oh my god! that is a hot remake!!!!

[Riola123]

hot

[nadimu143]

I was just about to write the same thing. Lol! Catch her from the right angle and she could be Lauren's cousin LeeLee, Lol!

[4zoezeno]

Leela James is Truly AUTHENTIC !!!

[solehass]

DAMMM!!!!!

What an excellent remake.

Leela James is definitely not for those who like digital studio music (today's sound) because she brings soul and nothing but.

Btw, i love her sound but she looks 21 and sounds 65 LOL!!!

[badgalfwd]

Oh Yeah.Leela does this classic justice. Love this tune

Blaze it gal.

[TheMidcoast1]

They might have to start giving this young lady her due respect. At first they thought she was less then authentic you know sort of like that guy from Cleveland "life Jennings" who grew hair on his face and tried so hard to sound like "old man river" LOL.

[WhoIzShe]

I can't find the Womack & Womack version of this on Youtube :( I like this version but the original is quality, when I get my old hard drive back I will upload it!

[P8SN529460]

have you found this track yet

[ddesign63]

WholzShe..., please, please, please upload the original. Been lookin for the real joint for months! Hit me up when you do, please. Thx! Missin' Real Music

PEACE

[SPYSINA1]

@WhoIzShe ITS EVRYWHERE

[rx7here]

@WhoIzShe the original womack & womack is now up on youtube. enjoy!

[tastyluv50]

This video is hot! She looks and sounds so good! Go Leela girl, still got it!

[Dejasanders18]

This is such a sexy song, Get it Leelah.

[mayalakishadennies]

yes leela is the truth a lotta people sleepin on this soulful sista

[MsCrooklyn718]

love it

[fizzmissus16]

Lol, She looks like a finer version of Oprah!

Very smooth song.

[313designs]

LOL...a finer version of oprah?? Now thats somehting I never ...ever...thought about!

[tlofee]

I would put this sista up there with Erykah Badu,Kindred The Family Soul,and Musiq Soulchild as far as their appreciation for classic soul music.Leela James is the truth for real,i hope she comes to DC I would love to see this sista.

[gmccall22]

she sounds like lauren hill

[tlofee]

I disagree she doesn't sound like Lauryn Hill,they both are great singers.But I would say she sounds more like Angela Bofill than Lauryn.

[mspancake07]

she reminds me of barbara tucker for some reason the way she presents herself on stage i love them

[ExploringReality3000]

Ms James did the damn thang!!! And she sho can work dem hips...go head sista gurl

[MzmeekaBABYYYYYYY]

yes, THIS IS WHAT I CALL SOULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[delirous8]

Joss Stone has a good voice but her delivery is more generic and kind of imitative

[Onlythetruth247]

Sing that solid gold soul, Leela. Keeping it alive!!!!

[kaleba]

I'm a bit torn on this one. The original is one of my favs of all time. It effortlessly goes from blues to danvehall to afrobeat/calypso.

Now with that being said,if youre gonna remake it why not try to take it somewhere further instead of just repeating it. Wish she would have taken more risk.

But like I said it's one of my all time favs and I love hearing again..Thanks Leela

[harlemkid159]

This is how a sexy yet respectable video is supposed to be done!!! No need to go hoocie wit it. I got mad respect for Ms James!!

[los4004]

leela is sexy

[csuoh]

Obviously the individuals who think Joss Stone and Leela are similar know nothing at all about music leela is on another level and can sing rings around Joss, nothing against Joss but see Leela live and you will see her range.

[KokoKashmere]

I agree with you they don't know jack!

[goddessnoire]

And for the record. Joss Stone can sing. I've listened to the girl, she can sing. Leela can sing as well, it's not a strike against to her say she sound like Joss Stone. It means they both have wonderful voices and they can both sing. She does look like Lauryn Hill though!!!!

[supergirl123love]

Like this song! She did a good job! ;-)

[cg225]

Not Womack & Womack, but she did a very good job.

[lword1970]

someone with a rich voice that can sing gets a $1 music video budget and someone like Beyonce with zero talent gets 5 million for a video - black music is in trouble

[goddessnoire]

voice like joss stone, looks like lauryn hill....awesome.....

[lword1970]

joss stone ?? leela would sing circles around joss stone .

[goddessnoire]

Actually they sound the same and I think leela could pretty much match joss stone.....joss stone came before leela..so leela is mmicing joss stone. Fact, joss stone's been on the circuit since 2001...know your facts people. Just because joss stone sings like a black R&B soul singer doesn't mean that leea james doesn't sound like her.

[KokoKashmere]

Actually what I was speaking on is that Joss Stone is that blue eye soul who has copied the sound of blackness. So check your facts Leela sounds like what she is a real black woman!

[goddessnoire]

Why is there such an uproar because I said they sound similar? This wouldn't be an issue if we were talking about two black women, but because it's Joss Stone, one cannot say that her and Leela sound alike? Joss Stone does have a black soulful sound, no one is denying that, but they do sound alike and that fact remains true regardless of their singing style or regardless of Leela being black because both have great voices and that's the real truth behind my comment. Not that one is coyping.

[pianoman74]

@KokoKashmere I didn't DARE comment like that, but hell, I was thinking the same.

[lword1970]

they don;t sound anything alike IMO. doesn;t have anything to do with who came first blah blah blah - they sound nothing alike. My repetoire of soul singers is not limited to just joss and leelah . every soul singer does not sound alike.

[KokoKashmere]

You mean Joss Stone is mimicking the sound of every soul singer out there.

[sexxyjr]

it has a sorta reggae feel at the end

[lword1970]

have you heard the original version of this song ?

[sexxyjr]

no I havnt

[88goodstuff]

Ms James has a sexy ass vibe for grown & Sexy Adults ......Her sound is so sensative 2 the ear and adults all over love her......Lady A...2009

[onlytymecantell]

sexy muthafucka. Watch how she moves as she sings. Swaying her hips with the melody.

[anikadiamond007]

She is soo soulful!

[soulquarian73]

When are you coming anywhere near Atlanta? SUPERSEXY, with class.

[mazedull]

[blockkboyz729]

[shashou124]

do it miss thang!

[TerraRyzinglives]

Bill Carson, this isn't a Bobby Womack song. It's Womack and Womack which consist of Lucille, Sam Cooke's daughter, and Cecil Womack, Bobby's brother.

[Geezyone]

This woman is so damn sexy

[phillyroxx]

Sorry Miss Erika609, she did this classic justice!!!! Knock-it-off with the sour grapes!

[Jewelz9013]

I definitely agree with you!! :-)

[Jewelz9013]

I don't care what anybody's says I love me some Leela!! She has so much class and style for someone so young!! She has an old soul and there's nothing wrong with that!! It's nice too see a young lady get up and perform with all her clothes on for a change!! Leela keep doing your thing girl!! This is real music!! Luv ya!! :-)

[MissErika609]

i dont think its a good version at all actually... i'm sad. she's tainting a really good song. I'm gonna cover this song soon. gotta reclaim the energy.

[Geezyone]

wow an authentic soulful singer...and she a lil sexy too

[grlblu73]

Love BETJ

[mknuwet]

Excellent!!!!!!!
