Strike It Up - BlackBox (HQ Audio)

[kesfatih]

..tommorow i go Canary islands,and just want to dance at this song and not think of not being teenager anymore..

[iamtragos]

LOL @ quality of this video .....

[bun223]

I actually get kinda angry now knowin that lady ain't really singin it, Martha is... she did a duet with Luther Vandross.... I just found out it was her in that song, back when it came out, I was too little to know really who she was... the name of the group she was in is on the tip of my tongue... if I'd known the singer was from that group, I'dve known it was her in that duet

[miamivicepastels83]

@bun223 weather girls ...or c and c

[bun223]

@miamivicepastels83 Weather Girls

[bun223]

It kinda makes me angry now... to see this lady, and in their other videos, and know she ain't really singin... you know Martha did a duet with Luther Vandross... I didn't even know that was her on it 'cause I was too little back then to know... I think I knew her group too what was it?

[bun223]

I used to actually think that model lady was singin until Donnie Simpson broke it down, and got them exposed on BET. Then I was like....damn that's foul but it just made my respect grow for Martha Wash.

[giavellireport]

Where's Martha?

[aaronbxiii]

this was my shit when I was a baby

[itsthizzbaby]

why does the audio cut out 10x on this song?

[medellin1128]

wow i just read in wikipedia, this band used my city (Medellin) in other version of this song and it said that it was the city of drougs......well i dont know why people get angry at that....come on!!!! Medellin was!!!! they were just telling the truth!!! and about using that black model,......wel it was a project and it worked.....althought i cant deny it, seeing Matha singing this freaking rocks!!!!! p.d this model is so hot!!!

[sivazh]

How come when I Google Image Search Black Box I don't get any pics of negro vagina?

[daretosayit]

Judging from many of the comments, I'd say most people prefer the club/house mixes of this song and were expecting it for the video. I actually like this DJ Lellewel Mix; it was the 'official' mix released to video, whereas videos with the cd version [of the song] were dubbed over this version (as can be noticed during the rap since the lyrics are slightly different, and when the music is overdubbed on this video to the club/house version one can see the descrepencies with what he's rapping)

[centyneladp]

quiten los logotipos eso hecha a perder un buen video

[pikachufackyou]

NHL 2011<3

[MrLuigiMixx]

Esto Si Que Es Musica Carai J

ejejej,Amo Lo Mejor De El RapDance

[josielpontocom]

HD here stands for "Horrible Quality"

[weirdscience85]

This isn't the version I remember, I know theres the real one on here

[odrimar]

esas eran canciones que recuerdos thenks por subirlo

[brinpol]

I'm surprised at the time more people didn't notice that the same woman in this video and "Ride on Time" had different voices ;)

[YouDontDeserveItVids]

@brinpol REFER TO TOP COMMENTS SECTION, Uhh. Nothing more to say.

[brinpol]

@YouDontDeserveItVids You totally missed my point, but whatever. Nothing more to say.

[BeigeFunk]

she looks like the female version of Seal :D

[eazyice1]

drop the 9 inch on this instrumental :)

[m1974122]

regular calidad de video , pero sin embargo muchas gracias...

[johnnyjayramone]

My C64 running 2k midi files had better audio quality

[MaGiCxxGaming]

240p is the new 1080HD

[MEGAUFO777]

I absolutely LOVE this song!!!

[IKnowTheWayToSanJose]

What version of Strike It Up is this?

[medorioleonor]

DJ Lelewel Mix

[CarlitosDJmx]

@IKnowTheWayToSanJose DJ Lellewel Mix....still remember....

[rafaelmc76]

i didn't know that the fresh prince was in this vid... lol

[TheNostalgiaJunkie]

Like I mentioned in a previous video! "Streets of Rage man, Streets of Rage".

[CHO65]

two words describe this video. "Milli Vanilli".  nuff said?

[matrix2004]

This version sucks. Other one is better.

[radelta]

If you've seen a picture of martha you'd know why her image was replaced. Man the harpoons

[SpinDoctor91]

@radelta

fuck image people want real music,and Martha is a BBW for sure.a beautiful woman.this chick looks like a man too,they should have checked her gender first before replacing Martha Walsh...

[XtraKYM]

For Black Box HQ visit BlackBoxHouse Channel

[gerardo125zafira]

what ,,,,,who is she......is MARTA WASH!!!!

[indsoundmalta]

This is the poorest audio I've ever heard on you tube.

[oldredun]

@indsoundmalta - hi quality tragically afflicted by Tourettes (?)

[thechamotte]

this is not HQ Audio imbecil

[shuttlemasterbkg]

This video is fake as a 3 dollar bill; any knowlegdable person knows this is Matha Wash's vocals; not some phoney front "artists" ( and I use that term lightly).

[scoreyr]

Love this song...it brings back memories from my college days with the Thursday and Friday night Dances in the Student Center back in the early 90's....The good olde days!!!!

[BrainMetabolism]

the dancing girl is Katrin Quinol from Guadalupe, a French Territory.

[anybody6142]

no doubt about it. this works... go to mp3ifier.com for the best site to get this song.

[555aahouse1]

@12reeree12 you right man!! Martha walsh was the original true voice for this group and others but unfort that was not the case. I wonder if she's gotten any credit from it!?! She is the queen-diva of house/dance musik.

[TheGrix2112]

why the hell is this in NHL 11! muting this song for sure...

[NORTHERNKONFLIKT]

@TheGrix2112 search "dancin larry". its part of rangers culture thats why.

[backyardtimes]

nhl 11.....? actually....

[doh23]

@backyardtimes its for break in play

[aalan2703]

Linda cancion, lindos 90's, lindos recuerdos.....

¡Cómo pasa rápido el tiempo!...

[alexman128]

90's ruled !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[smjakkkk]

This girl is beautiful!!!

[axelbar496]

excelente video...... hp......... que no saben de musica

[djdavemick]

Best version of Strike It Up here. I have always thought this was *not* one of their big European hits (Ride on Time, Everybody Everybody, Open Your Eyes, Fantasy are the 4 that come to mind).

[djdavemick]

@djdavemick

Add I Don't Know Anybody else to the mix, a hit on both continents.

[12reeree12]

Man the only thing I hate is they should have let Martha be in da videos for real!

[cerebro3500]

i like this song!

[vxf2007]

Martha should've been in the video. This skinny bitch lip synching to Martha's voice irritates me!!!

[12reeree12]

@vxf2007 ME TOO!!!!

[absolutelynerko]

una belleza de cancion!!!

[drout0]

and HQ means "H"ell!! where's the "Q"uality ?????

[drout0]

HD in this case means "H"ard-to-believe-there's-any-­"D"efinition-at-all

[cassiopol]

CLÁSSICO TOTAL !!!

[bobbyyy007]

isnt that a shemale?

[clarkkent502]

rememebr this song when i was in middle school also remember the controversy over the group using martha wash's voice and although it was extremely disturbing the music industry is a business that is all about money and image in order to move product so we as fans need to better support those artist who have real talent and give the pop tarts who are skinny and half naked the boot!!!!

[domtheodore]

that's far from hq audio. but thanks for uploading!

[MrOdowd]

Pensate che quell'anno ho compiuto i miei 18 anni.....Ero a Parigi....Le prima libertà conquistate.....

[nina20021]

I wish my girl Marth would have been in the Vid...just because she is a BBW doesn't mean she shouldn't be seen. and the girl they had in the vid was ugly... that power voice doesn't even match her

[LageBandage]

Title misleading. Bad sound quality.

[connymat]

Damn, havent heard this for ages, almost sentimentel!

[eidr8]

Poor Quality Audio)

[bryanb16th]

@eidr8 yes very poor.

[nfldkillboy]

EXTREMELY poor audio...

[Ecossaise]

nfld it wasn't that bad ... have you ever seen some of the vids on this site ?

[easternmafia]

there is 2 version of this song. i prefer the dance version. what is the name of the dance version? thx.

epgrove... this is house style/rare music ... stick to your gang

[epgrove1961]

Another Milli Vanilli scam group

[nina20021]

yea it was..but Milli Vanilli could actually sing....so sad because one the guys was so hurt about what people were saying and how they were screwed over he killed himself.

[am4d3u]

(Poor Quality Audio)... distorted

[RubenZepedaA]

Excelente. De las numerosas versiones que existen de esta canción, esta es la que más me gusta. Qué lástima que haya desaparecido esta agrupación, pues su música era increíble.

[koyrampiedes]

You fucking call this HQ Audio? This sucks more than a hoover

[DoctorOrgasm1]

@koyrampiedes LMAO nice choice of words!

[panamaniak]

@koyrampiedes Lol!

[08WSChamps]

@koyrampiedes hahahahaha lol one of the best one liners ive seen on youtube, so true, sucha great song but the quality is like am radio quality

[luc5tar]

@koyrampiedes kkkk high quality ass , he meant

[askbob]

@koyrampiedes i cant thank this man enough for this blue ray like quality

[michaelgraham2]

Black Box, one of my favorite dances groups of the '90s, even despite though most vocals were done by Martha Wash. Just glad to see that she fought for the credit she deserved very much.

[whycyber]

i like the song and the video, but your upload lacks of quality. sorry.

[atlfine]

that transexual looks sick....lol....fake ass

[glamslammer]

You guys know that chick is not singing...that voice is Martha Wash from the Weather Girls.

[odog65]

why the hell did they not have Martha out there are people fataphopic and besides I like seeing a BBW on a vid anyday over a twig

[watgirl]

@glamslammer same thing happened wtih C&C Music Factory with Gonna Make You Sweat

[sangolt88]

@glamslammer No thats the model Catherine Quinol.

[leachud]

@glamslammer i know and its a fuckin shame. i respect Martha.

[psychozmusic]

@glamslammer true

btw the chick on the video is transgender ,she used to be male

[britneyslut]

@glamslammer I know she sing on that snap power song also

[CarlitosDJmx]

@glamslammer come on man...we all do know that....just enjoy the music...they were one of the best then

[odog65]

@glamslammer a strong voice come out dat skinny ass hoe on the video LMAO. we we're all duped from Black Box to Manilli Vanilli when it came to who the real artist was behind the voice. I'm glad no more damage was done beyond those 2 and C & C when it came to the videos. we'll always love the talent I swear there were more pawns then a damn chess board when it came to the music industry then. now it's just about fucking us out of releasing quality music today

[darkshiningstar3]

@odog65 ... THERE ARE WWWWWWWAAAAAAYYYYYYYY MORE MODEL LIPSYNC CASES THAN YOU THINK, BELIEVE ME!

[getalongperson]

i like this song

[plenty2say]

The chick in this video looks like a tranny. From the first time I saw here, I knew that she couldn't be a real singer.

[Mammasaymammasaw]

I thought she looked like a trans too.

[TroyRamseyyy]

DAMN, I CAN;T Believe I Forgot This One.

[BlackBoxHouse]

For the original vid and top quality sound... check out th BlackBoxHouse channel

Hear Black box how they are supposed to be heard!

[doobyboy21]

do not post videos if the video/audio quality sucks please...

[mctroll89]

where can i find this version of the song?

[xese4lifex]

What's with the shitty quality?

[YourShitStinksToo]

You know what, THANK YOU! This video keeps skipping!

[Ralpymorris]

Amaizing to know details such as the original singer to whom, anyway, we should be thankful for sharing her talent in two or maybe three -who knows- dance grups. Of course lip singing is nothing new but just listen to these beats, that was the evolutionary top of disco music, those 90s...

[fluggster123]

Love Martha Wash!!!

[aishaparker]

LOL. yeah me too, she got a nice strong voice.

[dulzurainsaciable]

El video muy bonito pero ustedes no saben que la chica que aparece ahi no es la que canta , la verdadera cantante es una gordita que se llama Martha Wash , que fraude !!!!!

[gitanomestizo]

Según mi hermana Creo que confundes de grupo los que hacian eso eran los C&C Music factory.

[BettyB313]

the backup dancer could'nt dance. sound like c&c music factory, cause martha wash singing on back albums. blackbox=martha wash! c&c= martha wash

[madamecarroll]

Why does this sound like C+C Music Factory?

[AutoManiac123]

Because the vocalist (Martha Wash) of Black Box, was also the vocalist for C&C. BTW, that is not her in the video. Yeah, the audio quality on this one stinks What up with it cutting in and out?

[texmatt]

should be listed as "CQ" - crappy quality

[roylikesitlikethat]

tin can audio NOT HQ

[discopawaa3]

HQ audio?

[jordan20pe]

Video de la PM

[TheZaramoreno]

[alex1312n]

[CarloCoutinho]

Look for the DJ Lelewel Mix, you can even find it here in the Tube!

[tigrillopower]

[temoc76]

THE real singer is Martha Wash! Everyone who knows this song knows! Martha is a fierce voice!

[lurisena]

It's a shame that they didn't put her in the video... shame on them!!!! Martha's voice is OMG!!!!!

[Zwikster]

HQ audio?

more like PU Audio.......

the sound is really terrible.

[BlackBoxHouse]

For decent sound and the official BlackBox video... check out the BlackBoxHouse channel.

Ciao. x

[FGN123]

Dude your sound quality is awful.

[carlosRRRRChitown]

This gril at this video is a fraud the real singer for this song was at CHICAGO'S GAY PRIDE FEST last night MISS MARTHA WASH

[hotboded]

they did that in a lot of videos martha sang the song for

[BlackBoxHouse]

See the Official Black box videos on the BlackBoxHouse channel

[xese4lifex]

So is there ever going to be Strike It Up: The Black Box Story, where they talk about how they did lip-synching for their videos and live performances. Its something I can picture being on the E! network.

[alex1312n]

No!!! NO!!! no es una trany!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOO

[alex1312n]

JAJA!! SHE IS A BEAUTIFULL WOMAN!!

[takiswakis]

sorry dude... but thats not a woman lol thats a transexual

[hotnub2]

the person we all see as a female is realy a male lip singing. take a close look she is a drag queen, was well known in the slums of london she was very well known. everyone in ny gay seen during this band rise knew the truth.

[coloradosooner]

why does this song make me think of jeremy jordan and or brandon walsh?

[coloradosooner]

best song ever....well, for the next 3 minutes it is

[LazyMansClub]

if they didn't want martha in the videos, why didn't they at least pick some bimbo that could dance???

[jesusnap]

this theme is in real top dance 90 find in youtube , exito aparece en real top dance, busca la lista completa en real top dance aqui en youtube

[breezwonder]

Man someone bring back the 90's!!!!

[nathene069]

Yes!!! Patent leather shoes and rayon polka dot shirts with see through sleeves and mc hammer pants!!!

[harleykman]

Uh no. Even when I was living through the 90s I thought the fashion was strange.

But the music?

The music was awesome! I love dance songs, and I'm glad guys like Timbaland and singers like Rihanna are bringing some of that "feel" back to the radio.

[Chrisspy704]

whaaaaaattttt? 90s feel thru rihanna and tim? not on my world.

[kaleid75]

Esta version es maxima. Lastima que no se comercializase tanto

[ornitorinco2009]

como encuentro esta version

[21sttnmemphis]

Love the song! I didn't know Martha Wash did this song too. I remember edshe did Snap by C&C Music Factory. Martha is one the most underrated singers ever. It all about talent

[mikedtn]

Martha actually did most of the female singing for Black Box. The skinny chick can only lip-sync.

[KrystalStJames]

you mean skinny transexual lol

[mikedtn]

Yea

[panamaniak]

damn, i miss Arsenio and the Party Machine with....Nia Peeples! Lol!

[sintek2000]

UNIKO !!!!!

[craziestbxboy]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaa get on down i miss the 90's too!!!!

[grizzlyfan41]

Blackbox, now that's what i'm talking about.......i miss the 90's!

[jburr1982]

yeah.  me too. i love 90's party music.

[tootster1]

However, in just posting this comment, unfortunately the video clip is playing up. Lots of gaps and skips, Uurggh. You know what though, I actually thought that Catherine Quinol was . Sorry Catherine. You hear the rumours at the time and apologise if this is not the case.

[tootster1]

This is one of my favourite songs in that time. The good ole 90's!! Snap, CC & Music Factory, and the list goes on. There have been many different versions of Strike It Up. I love this version however....and also enjoy the others, but preferably like this one...thanks again.

[CoolColJ]

add &fmt=18 on url for stereo :)

[TSquared2001]

This is the best version PERIOD.

[carriersignal]

Without a doubt! Its hard to find this version. I seem to remember it being on a compilation cd "best of dance 91 or 92" or something. Would sure love to get my hands on it again.

[nk3219]

thank you for posting this jam***

[joceeco]

If I had the line

and you had the bass...then strike it up and you'll find- the rhythm's on tyme- line after line- going straight to your mind...that shyt was nice! my group used to perform this song when I lived in Germany. I loved this group.

[bravoman70]

Good video from the past!!! Where are all those  good singers? Well, for the moment you make me feel so good, thanks for the video...

[shuttlemasterbkg]

You're referring to Martha Wash of course. She did the actual vocals for Black Box, not the model in the video. They tried to screw out of her credits and royalties but she took 'em to court and got PAID! Go Martha!

[MikeHummyButthole]

Also same woman who sang "its raining men"

She is amazing.

[pharao707]

what was the point in replacing martha with this model? if i was martha i'll get very offended. and i don't really think this girl is especially pretty: at least martha is real and talented, while this katrin girl is just a doll who probably can't sing.
