[thebionicpig]

In the first few seconds he does indeed sounds like the guy who replaced him "Morris Day" to be the lead singer for "The Time" Prince discovered him to begin with...

[DaOrigTruthSeeker]

I saw him on UNSUNG and he shocked me with what he said about Prince. I never would have guessed Prince was that way.

[11LadyGrinningSoul11]

@DaOrigTruthSeeker I'm intrigued! What did he say about Prince?

[KoochyWoochy]

i prefer this to criticise

[foreheadboy]

You can play this song for the sistas today.Fake in every aspect....from the weave up all the way down to the heel.

[cushe83]

@MrJonas128

Alex was not gay, he was on crack though

[TJ347]

[SuperBaridi]

all day!!!

[Byootox]

Great tune to have up loud when going for a drive !!

[ASU19992006]

Alexander Oneal was on of the greatest R&B artists of the 1980s. I wish he would come out with something new produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

[robynsegg]

THIS WAS THE SHIT!

[MegaDodge05]

buy that man beer just when ya flaggin in the tractor at night put this on and yay here we go ,plant those fucking seeds baby

[TriniNY]

TWO PEOPLE ARE "FAKE, BABY"!

[Footsniffer51]

The "Spanish" dude has a name and it's Michael DeLorenzo.



[Footsniffer51]

If Beyonce's "Irreplacable" is the woman's anthem, then "Fake" is the man's counter song!!! DJ's should play both of these back to back. Whenever they play "Irreplaceable" then without even some 'dead air' between them, they should slap on Alexander's "Fake"!!!

[Tan78able]

don't make em like this anymore... xx

[gargamel55]

Thats the Spanish dude from NY Undercover at 0:28

[MaxMikeLatino]

@gargamel55 He's not Spanish, he's Puerto Rican and his name is Michael Delorenzo.

[CrooningRick]

Great Music of a great Decade

[pilotpot]

Need some tonite......... nasty base



[DaveWollenberg]

Alex hit #25 in Billboard, 9-26-87. Too bad that he's still a cigarette smoker, after all these years. I sure wouldn't wanna smoke MYself to death! God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[TheTtbone456]

yeah you know i just got out of this relationship with this woman that proved to be what 99% of most girleys are ultra fake,thats why she is fired,man where is that 1%that i can get and keep it real with so i can treat her like a princess

[homemixer]

The cigar she smokes is FAKE...

[amber2946]

Look at his face when he says "Can i get some naaaasty bass?" Lol, But the song's AWESOME

[ebeneezzer]

1:26

You call me Clyde

BOLLOCKS is the name I go by

[KINGWYCO]

brotha had swag

[ibedamned]

So many fugazis out here!

[09thenicholas]

[BigKev96]

[biggirl26]

@NIGHTWHMAN LMAO

[te4888]

that bass is nasty. love it.

[UserKim30001]

This whole album was the ish!! I listened to it everyday on the subway on my way to John Jay!!

[Footsniffer51]

Did anybody see the Detective Sanchez from NY Undercover? (Michael DeLorenzo). Watch it closely. There's also Tyra Ferrell "Doughboy's" mama from Boyz N The Hood. She's the one onstage that Alexander 'pushes' off.

[denissanchez10456]

@Footsniffer51 I just noticed that lol

[Footsniffer51]

@denissanchez10456 Better late than never huh?? LOL!



[MultiGuarddog]

tHIS WAS MY JAM

[NylaCoils]

This is for @curlynikki, look at Alex in better days! lol

[2damnfunny]

This is the Alexander O'Neal I remember.....my favourite of his.

[benzz2006]

Damn I miss New Jack Swing.

[blkbarbii]

Love is song. Alexander is a great, sexy singer!

[Paulwhoreigns]

this was the straight out jam, and its still so real today......

[brandnumom]

I think that people see similarities in Alex & The Time because of the Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis producing dynamic. They were AWESOME. They were even able to produce Human League and make a jam.....

[Redzombie13]

Badass bassline groove!!! Staright Minneapolis Funk from Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis; I still dig this song even though I'm grown now!!!

[louishenna]

The future

[MrJoesmokey]

Gosh I miss the Funk of the 80s now that was dancing music!!!

[ilovemusic32471]

Michael is NOT gay!!!!!!!

[ilovemusic32471]

Michael D from NY Undercover is NOT gay!!!

[vmotley1]

omg 1:46/47 dude from ny undercover looks just as gay as he really is. i didn't kno he did video's before playing the puerto rican cop!

[9oszkidd]

@vmotley1 Omg that is him! lol

[mrlavabeast]

"Your a fake baby

And I'm Disgusted

The game is through

And now your busted!!!"

What a fucking catchy tune - Long Live the 80's!

[jln673]

@mrlavabeast Oh yes tell it! I wonder if any modern singers could ever take on this song and do it justice? I still watch this video and think Alex was a genius of his time!

[abady123456789ful]

The funk of the 80's unstopable

[william52648]

Don't ever be "fake"...if U can help it !

[anita606]

alex in his prime here!

[KarmalBeauty]

I always thought he was talking about fake WOMEN, but after analyzing the video, I notice how she gets close to a man (in the beginning of the video) and then, she gets close to a woman as well which makes me wonder if he was REALLY singing about trannies and cross-dressers...check the viceo again and pay attention.

[vxy357]

@KarmalBeauty This video was made back in 1987. Those topics weren't even on ANYONE'S radar back then like they are today. Back then, you had a lot of females wearing fake hair and nails & trying to play guys for fools. That's exactly what he's singing about. There is no "alternative" vibe to it. You're seeing what you want to see. And trust me, I've seen her on other R & B videos and she's ALL woman. But just to be fair to the ladies out there, guys can be fake too.

[vxy357]

I dedicate this song to Harold Camping and all the idiots who told us the world would end on May 21,2011.

[blissmermaid]

@vxy357 and anyone who actually believed this was just as stupid as he was.

[method110]

U KNOW WHAT U DO WITH FAKE PEOPLE, NOTHING, TREAT EM LIKE AMUSEMENT TO YOUR MIND.

[smedheat]

you called me CLYDE

[DaveWollenberg]

Is it just me, or do Alex, and, Morris Day have similar singin' voices?

[MyJunior1975]

@DaveWollenberg Well, to be fair Alexander O'Neal was the original lead singer of The Time before Prince "replaced" him with Morris Day...under questionable circumstances.

[brandnumom]

@DaveWollenberg Morris Day was not on Alexander O'Neal's level with the vocal ability so I would have to disagree about their voices being similar...

[tinynogood23]

OMG I LOVE THIS SONG

NEVER GETS OLD !!!

[ccbs82]

Is it me or does this guy appear to have a little sugar in his tank.

[Footsniffer51]

@BeautyHealthZoneBlog: Uh, you really need to chill. If this chick did all the stuff you said she did, then that says you weren't 'man enough' to hold your own. We teach people how to treat us and obviously, you didn't hold class long enough for this woman. Now if you are going to cry and post what some woman did to you on an international site, expect some comments. Some free advice: Don't try to get into a war of words with me..You'll be up wayyyyy past your bedtime.

[BeautyHealthZoneBlog]

@Footsniffer51

Unfortunately, something is broken with Google's YouTube as per usual and I didn't see your comment until today.....Who is getting into a war of words with you?

The woman is a stalker....Go and re-read my last comment to you, obviously you didn't read and digest it well....Go back to sniffing feet....your specialty.

Simply put, don't poke your nose into stuff you know nothing about....End of story.

[Footsniffer51]

@BeautyHealthZoneBlog: Uh sounds like somebody needs to just LET....IT....GO!

[BeautyHealthZoneBlog]

@Footsniffer51

Well, that son of a bitch hacked into my Google blog, Youtube account, and my hotmail doing all kinds of criminal things, so do not preach to me, And that crawling serpent is damn lucky I don't know EXACTLY where she is because she has done more than that. STUPID CRAZY PSYCHOPATHIC SON OF A BITCH that she is.

She should be in a mental institution.

When the SAME thing is done to you then tell me how you would react SAINT.

I love dancing to this song!

You're a FAKE baby! WOOO!!

[BeautyHealthZoneBlog]

@Footsniffer51

Besides, what is YOUR business? Read my blog detailing what happened first and then leave comments. Unless of course YOU are VAL aka Patricia aka Bianca. After all that crazy fool has lots of alternative Internet personas that she uses.....Hmmm, maybe you are her accomplice, sticking up for a criminal Mr foot and shoe sniffer?

[elainebmack]

There's something about this video that I like. I keep watching it, and it intrigues me for some reason. Maybe it's because it's in black and white, or the mixture of different types of people in it. Of course Alexander O' Neal sounds and looks great. I guess I just like everything about it.

[BeautyHealthZoneBlog]

We gonna talk about a girl who FAKE....That's right......Her name was val, but now it's Patricia aka Bianca......FAKE ASS BITCH....It's lying season....This song is dedicated to your fake snake ass!

[CVTom]

My jam back in the day!!! Bringing back some great memories!

Those false eyelashes got your attitude!

[badside562]

Prince was an idiot for firing this man this was the time original front-man until Prince fired him listen... to that voice and that Jimmy Jam And Terry Lewis Beat Is Too Damn Wicked!!!

[KettlebellCity]

@badside562 Prince Didn't really fire him. They Didn't wanna pay Him the money He wanted and Alex

said He could make more money on His own so He bounced

[badside562]

Prince was an idiot for firing this man this was the time original front-man until Prince fired him listen... to that voice

[apicius50]

Ohhh What??? Where are these days? SEX had been wonderfull and MOTORSPORTS could be deadly! Today it´s otherwise turned around!

Men looked like men and behaved themselves!

Women were women and didn´t want tolook like guys!

Sound and lyrics were straight!

And today? Ooohhh... F#§k!!! Would give an empire for a Time Machine!!

[AnoukaKC]

Prophecy.

[chazneyhawks]

I was born in 1983, and my earliest memories include alex's songs in the car singing along with my mother. Happy days.

[2916316]
