  • I used to really love this damn song. I used to make my mom mad because I played it so much. oh how I remember those times well.

  • Something went "wrong" in her presentation, or maybe her manger pissed of the wrong person along the way. Why else would we be listening to Rihanna instead of Nikka?

  • this some is so glamourious...

  • Classic! Always make me wanna rockout!!! Nikka, big pimpin!

  • the uncrowned queen of funk and soul , unbeatable . just so sexy in voice and appearance

  • I was looking for this song for years!

  • "Scorching!"

  • A superstar who never had the chance to truly shine... Instead MTV would rather choose to show inbreds from New Jersey complaining about their hair and whoever they hooked up with the week before. A real shame.

  • I could listen to that walking baseline ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • At 2:28 I heard a little of Huey, Dewey and Louie.

  • @quiktymevideo LOL...hell yeah you right

  • love this song still!

  • Maybe enough of us who remembered her and loved her can get her on top. It's never too later.

  • she is just amazing !! she just did a show with Raphael Saadiq!!! in london i think..

  • nice music!! she has an album comin out in june 2o11

  • THIS IS STILL MY JAM AND MY FRIENDS THINK IM CRAZY ND WEIRD BECAUSE I LISTEN TO MUSIC LIKE THIS LOL...I LOOOOVE IT

  • reminds me of a groovy tina marie..

  • @dirtylilpig98 wit a bit of macy gray

  • @stresswun1 i agree....

  • Record companies are afraid of real singers like Nikka because they might actually out sell, that chick that sings single ladies, hmmm what is her name? Oh yeah Beyonce.

  • Just saw her last night in Cambridge, MA! She slayed the stage! what a voice , she def deserves more Recognition! met her in the resturant before she performed she is so nice! and sexy! =)

  • This song was featured on a jean commercial, this is what made her big

  • so amazing! what did happen to her? ugh so upset. loved this song!

  • @Conioangel82 She's on tour, check your local clubs.

  • 22 people ain't got a clue.

  • Awesome, love this. Love Nikka, Christ knows why she ain't massive now.

  • i remember this video on MTV...she never "took off" here...its a REAL shame, shes way better than most of what u c on MTV

  • @oasisgirl1978 NIIKI WAS GREAT, SHE PERFORM, A LED ZEPPLING SONG, WHOLE LOTTA LOVE IN INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNAI, AT THE FOURM! JUIST 3 BLACKS FOR MY HOME! 4/30/11! I SAW HER SHE WAS GREAT, THE VIDEO WAS ON YOU TUBE FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS IUNTIL HIS_MAJESTY PRICE PULLED IT OF THE YOU-TUBE LIKE ALWAS! FORTUNALLY, I WAS ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE VIDEO AND SAVE IT! I WILL TRY TO POST IT BACK UP, BUT I AM SURE PRINCE AND HIS CAMP WILL DELETE IT AGAIN! WHAT A DICK!

  • @oasisgirl1978...that is so true!!

  • @oasisgirl1978 The only thing I see on MTV are reality shows, never music!

  • @jasiekel86 didnt i say something along the lines of that?

  • @oasisgirl1978 I thought you meant the MTV at the time this was released! Back when they played music!

  • @jasiekel86 responding to your current comment i feel that MTV has become crappier over the years, for example the in the 80s MTV rocked, the 90s...MTV started incorporating reality shows such as the real world and trl which dumbed down the whole concept, and after that in the 2000s and beyond just became really bad with pretty much all shows and no music...which comes back to my original point nikka was underrated.

  • @jasiekel86 If you notice the MTV logo it used to be a big "M" with music television onder it, well now its just the big M, It's a shame too, they had shows for pretty much every tase in music "Headbangers Ball" Yo MTV raps and my hangout 120 minutes

  • Now that´s called IMPACT, Nikka for ever! :-)

  • i was looking for this and I didnt remember the name of her.. finally. wasnt easy to find

  • lol i was looking for this song, but couldn't remember the song, i knew it was something feather lol

  • this is my jam

    

  • BANG BANG BOOGIE!! That's what I'm talking about!! ^_^

  • White Chakka (pronounced like; "white chocolate")

  • I wonder what they did to that neon set wall, that thing is awesome!

  • Love you Nikka!

  • I love, Janis Joplin, I love Nikka Costa, somehow, I see them both in this video, she is awesome.

  • @Fancylooks I was thinking the same thing! I definitely see Janis

  • the closest anyone has ever come to janis joplin! she's fucking gorgeous!!!

  • This remindes me on Lenny Kravitz!

  • Such a good beat, sexy lyrics and different sound. Should of been so much more popular :)

  • She was so good. Where is she now?

  • if i were a stripper id dance to this song lol i love this song, she would so rock in the 70's

  • shes a great singer

  • damn this song is awesome. i forgot all about it.

  • I love her

  • Holy Shit! This is like an early female version of Prince!

  • Sexy ass song!

  • one of my favorite songs.

  • fantastische frau

  • Sexy...Fine...Great Dancer...Great singer. What more can a guy ask for?

  • very sexy cool

  • You guys should check out her and Prince doing "Push and Pull" live if you haven't already...man, this chick can BLOOOOOOWWWW!!!! And Prince is amazing on that guitar...They made a good duo...

  • @hotpkt24 I saw them do it live in London, a few years back. They were great together!

  • @candelise Seriously?! I am sooo jealous!!!

  • phantastische frau

  • This is what happens when you don't promote artists who have REAL talent....she was a beast man what the hell happened to Nikka Costa......an damn shame

  • @JagMills Seriously. I don't know what happened to her, but I remember she was great.

  • @JagMills They use to play her music on 106 and Park when AJ and Free use to host it. That's when I could bare watching that show. I thought Nikka Costa was the sexiest female alive when I saw this. I heard Push and Pull afterwards on the BLOW soundtrack but she dropped off the face of the earth after that. She really could've been something if she had the right marketing. But I heard she became strung out and had to go thru rehab. Damn....

  • @phesterjr well, she seems quite well, no rehab etc.  has released a couple more albums after Everybody's got their something. Just that record labels are not doing their job to promote her stuff right!

  • @spikehikari YOu know, there was a time when you had TRL on MTV and artists had a habit of showing up on every music channel or sometimes after a program they would advertise the person's album during a commercial. Nikka Costa lucked up on her first album and they were using her song "Like A Feather" for a Gap commercial to promote her record. Now? You have to pay attention to the internet or Itunes to see what's going down. Labels barely promote albums anymore other than Ga Ga bitch or Bieber.

  • @JagMills Quite right too! I don't care how tired my feet are, when iIm out dancing and if a (good) DJ drops this- I am shaking my thing all over town. She was phenomenal, great attitude and voice. Pity she's disappeared. Luckily we have the FANTASTICALLY TALENTED "X factor" winners to entertain us. . .(that's sarcasm for those who can't tell)

  • @JagMills She's finally coming back.

  • @JagMills : EXACTLY!!! I LOVE HER, AND THEN SHE JUST DISAPPEARED! SHE IS THE BEST POP ARTIST OUT HERE TODAY FOR REAL!!! I WANT MORE OF NIKKA COSTA.....!!!

  • @JagMills she just put out pro Whoa, Search NIKKA's BOX - you can get it on itunes "PRO*WHOA" it's awesome

  • @JagMills She's on tour again!!! She started her own label called Go Funk Yourself and is still fucking amazing. I'm glad she's still doing her own thing instead of doing what other people tell her to do to sell more records...but I STILL don't understand why she isn't just crazy famous.

  • I. Got. This.

  • This Was My Favourite Song When I Was Like 10 Or Something OMG She Was Dope!

  • Comment removed

  • You don't know how long it's taken me to trace this single. I was in the middle of watching Coach Carter with Samuel L Jackson and a catchy tune came on called 'Everybody got their Something'. Pointed my mobile phone to find the music, and voila!! Looking it up on Itunes, listening to her album, low and behold I found it!!! It's taken my nine years.

  • @ticlarke i share ur happiness!

  • My mama always said she liked Nikka because she reminded her (her style & crazy red hair lol) of Janis Joplin. Which I agree, I think she's a prettier version of Janis.

  • @kajunbaby5 With respect to Janis, that's not hard!

  • Dang I had her album and it was great...Whateva happen to her?

  • @MzKatLB She made a few other albums.

  • WHAT!!! i have heard this song countless times on mtv and the like and have had no idea it was sang by her. now i love it so much more

  • I like this song.. She is working those hips.. Do your thang sista!!!!! Is she still performing?

  • aaayyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

  • so finally i found it.

  • Why cant she be as popular as Lenny Kravitz? She is every bit as good and can rock it funk it like a soul queen!!

  • id put Joss Stone and dear Lady Costa up against Katy Perry and ke$ha any day of the week.

    Period.

  • טוב שיש קונטרה לחלב שני אחוז שיש בתעשייה

  • ...Okay, im guessing double sided tape.

  • I've been a fan for a long time!! She just oozes sex appeal. MAN!!

  • love the chorus

  • lol i remember this sone came out n it was on BET, i still dont kno why lol

  • it's because her cup runneth over with soul in every way i.e. her voice, her moves..

  • @djerikward : whatever bitch

  • @TarantulaCandy fck you pussy

  • i luv this song

  • I told my boyfriend that she was my wife when I was a little girl. I can't remember how old I was but I remember when I saw her I was like OMG this bitch is bad.

  • What ever happened to her. I liked her shit. And she's gorgeous too.

  • @mrcheereo She just put out a new album, Pebble to a Pearl. It's amazing.

  • great song!!! cool artist!!!!

  • You realize she is Frank Sinatra's Grandaughter right?

  • Close. Shes his GODdaughter. They arent related, he just baptized her. But if there family is like mine, he might as well be her grandfather.. eh more like an uncle.

  • You know I swear I heard her on MTV when this came out that he was her GrandFather. But it has been a while since this came out. Sorry for the misinfo.

  • sinatras only 10 years older than her father so im pretty sure he's not her grandfather. hey either way, the man had an influence on her musical upbringing im certain. all i know is for sure is nikka costa is one funky, bad ass chick and thats not arguable. mmm mmm gotta love this woman.

  • Does anyone know who produced this song for her? Sounds like a Prince creation to me. Kinda sounds like him in the background singing, too...IDK???

  • didnt lenny kravitz play guitar on this song?

  • Fuckin Bitch is Hot...!

    Tight Tune...!

  • A little Janis Joplin, a little Tracy Lords, & a little prince= NIKKA COSTA! she fuckin hot and dirty!

  • This used to be my song!!! Still is...

  • She is beautiful and so cool

  • for some reason she reminds me of Janis Joplin

  • erection!

  • LMAO you said what every dude is thinking my friend. that might be my all time favorite youtube post.

  • yeah, i forgot just how funky this was!! blastin now, and my wee girl dances like her too..! nice one nikka!

  • This whole album is tight!

  • Damn good song - a classic .

  • sound a lot like Anastacia is a backing voice in there!!..

  • this bitch is damn sexy.

  • Ms. Funk, I love it when you hit that note on 2:30.

  • I loved this song!

  • i belive she's related to frank sinatra....he was her grandfather

  • you are a fucking idiot, as a child and now, again as an adult

  • Greatvid to intro her back when it dropped. Love being able to review vids on youtube these days. She is quite striking and funky as hell.

  • This was a Funky Ass Song. I loved it.

  • like a muhfuckan feather was my shit......the beat is toooo sick....

  • why do singers have to dance? I don't give a shit if you can shake your ass. there are strippers for that. I want a singer who can fucking sing.

    ... Nikka's good tho =)

  • Why are all these great singers such as Nikka, Mariah Carey and so on "forced" to act as sexy brainless chicks unless they wouldn't have many chances in pop music buisness? :(

  • yo for a white girl she got alot of soul in her moves bigs ups white gurl do ya thang i see ya

  • love this song, she had another good one too that i know, Everybody's Got Their Something, fun song :) I was like 13 when this song came out though, and I remember thinking "how is her shirt staying on!?" haha, shes so cute. People should do their own thing again like this... except not suck like they do nowadays haha

  • Nikka is Sexxxxy! Love this vid and song!

  • "My words turned to side or around to ´richlove´..."

    Oh yeah!!! I remembered this song when it came out in 2001 because I was in University . This song-rock,because I loved the colors in the music video it makes the song so beautiful and also the coreography too. I have not heard the second album yet that came in 2005. This song is great because you can listen to the beats of the song carefully and you can dance to it.

  • sexiest video ever!

  • That outfit is soooo HOT!! I would totally wear that out!

  • She is not Frank Sinatra's granddaughter. Her father, Don Costa was an arranger for Frank Sinatra.

  • what? how is she frank sinatras grand daughter???! (im confused)

  • her father(Don Costa)arranged music for MR.Sinatra.

  • That's funky great energy

  • It pisses me off that she's not as popular as she should be. There is so much garbage on the radio. I wish stations would play more quality stuff like this instead of the same stupid song three times an hour.

  • I always wondered why NK wasn't pushed commercially as other musicians...

  • GOOD VIDEO AND AWESOME SONG...

  • I used to swear that her songs where old tunes from the 70's!

  • I have this cd, great tunes and grooves on it. I'm man enough to say, her slow songs can make you cry too. Yes, men cry too, without commin' off weak or gay. Oh' yeah, plus their nothing wrong with being gay. It's just not my thing. Heck, just be you and don't care what others think. Anyway, great post.~Phurdrick

  • It was my way at sharing how I felt about Nikka Costa's music, then realizing that I might have offended someone gay. It's one thing to leave a opinion, it's another thing all together to judge someone or group of people. I'll leave that to God, and I'm not Him!~Phurdrick
