  • Kenan and Kel brought me here.

  • this song never got enough play, its brilliant and shits on anything out there today

  • the best song everrr

    

  • Ohh I remeber this joint I miss Tamia

  • Damn I have never seen this side of Tamia,lol. I do know a little somethin somethin about her, I do have one of her albums(More) but I never realized she was one of these types of artists ^^^ dancing around in the video. I always thought she was one of those "grown" artists and she still is to me, but it's nice to see another dimension to her. I like it.

  • the beginning of this song definitely uses a Jackson5 sample. Can anyone help me out with the song title?

  • @DaniB0626 I want you back by the Jackson 5.

  • Tamia=talented, sexy, and real

    rihanna=attention whore, shock and awe artist

  • Why are we talking about Rihanna here? No need to compare. Both artists are great in their own right! Come on now.

  • this was my ish!!! her debut album was just bonkers!!!

  • My old Jam i miSS Tamia, and that LEather Was slamin

  • I could see aaliyah doing something like this since she liked the darkside.

  • This was my jam I was like 13 LOL.... 90's all day!!!

  • Everybody knows Tamia can sing, but a lot of people don't know she can dance too! This is the only video where she showcased her dancing skills. I know grant hill is a happy man! Lol

  • Why are ppl still comparing one artist to another? There's nothing new under the sun,whatever you do has already been done......by somebody!

  • omfg this video came out when i was 16 and to this day i still get wood .

  • Oh Sh** the original Disturbia video?! LOL First thing I noticed

  • Thumbs up for pleather pants dayum

  • she was on kenan and kel, oh the good old days...

  • Love!

  • a lot of artists have covered this style of video not just rihanna. christina aguilera, nine inch nails, im sure there r a host of others. the backwards hate on videos is obnoxious now.

  • @dianniscool Nine Inch Nails' video for "Closer" came out about four years before this one.

  • @piroteknix i know .. im just saying its a style of video and it doesnt mean that anyone is biting another artist

  • Comment removed

  • Trust me alot of guys used their imaginations while watching this clip.

  • wow. now i remember why i fell in love!!!

  • What a nice song and nice video from Tamia!!!!!!!!!!!! It is amazing.

  • I love me some RIhanna but how is it possible that the "Disturbia" video is SO similar. The choppy, slow-motion imagery is the same, the tranny playing the harp is DEFINITELY in the "Disturbia" video. If I were Rihanna I would be upset with Dave LaChapelle, who directed the video, for coming up with the video concept as a novelty when it clearly has already been done in a strikingly similar fashion. Tamia is so underrated it pains me. She's beautiful and can LEGITIMATELY sing.

  • I am happy that i had to live in the greatest times of all (for hip hop and R'n'B).

  • thank you so much for the upload !!!!!!!! bring back sweet memories

  • love this song no matter how old it gets...!!!!

  • i all ways sang this song when i was in high school im 28 year young now and i still love, its like the first time im hearing it i loved the 90s

  • i all ways sang this song when i was in high school im 28 year young now and i still love, its like the first time im hearing it

  • Alot of ppl dnt knw about tamia her voice is crazy

  • Man....this video came out around the time I hit puberty. 2:28 pretty much changed my life...I'll just leave it as that

  • Tamia is bad! i remember this video from middle school. Always SEXY!

  • @es1910 I remember being in middle school and thinking this video was pretty sexy too (and I'm a girl).

  • @es1910 exactly!!

  • love dis song a def classic n very creative

  • She use to be soo volouptous!! soo pretty my girl!!

  • @Nona Bear there is remix of this with ludacris done by lil jon

  • she a monarch slave along with everyone else in hollywood and people cheering them on for it. makes no sense. 1LOVE

  • I dont see anything wrong with the she acted if you look at how old I am than she still appealed to that age group

  • She was really good. But, I think 1 of her biggest problems is that she seemed too 'grown up' in behaviour (not age) for the target market of teenage to mid twenties age bracket. She did not have that cute appeal, but more a I'm a woman appeal. For example look Keisha Cole is much older now then she was in this video- Yet, keisha has a cute appeal to her.

  • @love83forever I agree, they marketed Tamia too old and sexy too soon. though I must say Tamia is sexy in the best way... subtly sexy. Tami's career could have rivalled monica's and Brandy's more if manager pushed more (promo) it's not like her songs were bad they were awesome. she just needed a better manager who could get her things like lead songs for a feature film (Monica- for you i will) and TV series & Cover Girl Campaign (Brandy). Tamia sings such special music. I wish her more success.

  • wow she was soo ahead of her time..this is on some rihanna shit. and look how rihanna blew up. no-scratch that-rihanna is on some TAMIA shit! haha

  • Tamia kicks ass!!! She can outsing many recent artists (Lady Ga Ga & Rihanna) no disrespect to anyone who likes them.

  • well said

  • Thank you :)

  • I agree

  • @NonaBear10 its the truth and it hurts rihanna and lady ga ga aka lady get the hell out of here has nothing on tamia

  • Haha so true....she should have made that her stage name

  • This is my fav song from her. Like of all time :)

  • look @ mrs hill!! dang i love dis girl!

  • I mean Damn... She can get my whole check. She so fine she make a nigga wanna get a THIRD JOB!!!............. wit BENEFITS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • omg ...i used this song for a talent show in the 7th grade i think in 97...Me,Thomas Robinson, Suzzette, Mills, Sheena Choudry and more...we killed it. but came in 2nd place.

  • Comment removed

  • She didnt do this song with Ludacris.....what song are you even thinking of?

  • love dis song

  • Comment removed

  • this used to be my shitt back in the day...i remember i used to record this nd "No No No" by DC nd watch them over nd over, nd write the lyrics down:) i knew all the wordz...those were the dayz:)

  • love this song and love tamia.. shes so underrated

  • this song is very much similar to rihanna disturbia and micheal jackson songs thiller and others etc.

  • Grant Hill's A lucky dude

  • In Atl we used to bump a version of this that is twice as fast.

  • nice song from tamia.

  • The SMOOTH ERA was coming to a close around this time.Wow 11 years later and I just found this video.

  • it seem 1998 was 6 years ago but its 11 time flies by fast

  • I remember this song. I used to love this. I forgot she sang it. Shoot I forgot what the song was. I saw the title and recognized it but I couldn't remember the words. Ha, ha.

  • damn this song is old as hell! and i remember i really didnt like it lol i use to hate when this video came on lol but i STILL LOVE HER!!LOL

  • I also see a little resemblance with Rihannas "Disturbia"-video. The concept and content are almost the same. But its hard nowadays to do/make something new & fresh because the same stuff was done and made before!

  • real canadian talent right here mutha fucka!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Shit always repeats itself. See this is 1998. So you have to be of a certain age to remember this. I remember being about 11 watching this video. Thought she was so bad. So now if your young and you dont know about Tamia you would know

  • I cant even look at this video no more... Tamia reminds me of my old gurl I use to like so so so much back in 1995... but She kept dissin me all the time & everytime I see tamia doin something real freaky shit up in this video... All I can is that Gurl playin as tamia

  • ok the only thing is this song has nothing to do with the video...rihanna's song actually goes with the video

  • Yeah it's funny as much as love this video, the song doesn't match it. I definitely see your point, Rihanna's song concept does match the haunted house look better.

  • Disturbiaaaaa!!!

  • This video is less scary than Rihanna's

  • yooo Rihanna's vid is like this....but I don't even think she has that much control the video director stole this idea...and this video is probably based on something else...some of the best vids are based on videos

  • rhianna is a copycat

  • sure is but her fans are 2 blind 2 see it lol

  • i see a point in that damn u made me forget what i was gonna say lol

  • Comment removed

  • She's Waaaaaaaaaaay prettier than Rhianna!

  • @ccclassical wat year was u born in

  • i'm not lying but when i first saw the disturbia video i thought of this. rihanna is so unoriginal. anyway i love this song and tamia <3

  • disturbia disturbia

    rihanna really want us to know that she can't do anything lol

  • DISTURBIA MUCH!? RIHANNA IS SO TIRED

  • i like the song but not the vid

  • "classic" r´N´b back in the days

  • dis ma shit

  • I must agree without seeing the comments I thought of disturbia!!!

  • LOL, looking back at this now, I thought the same thing!

  • What great talent!

    5/5 stars for the song

    5/5 licks for the black PVC pants - Hott baby

  • im not saying its exactley like rihanna's but i have to admit that when i seen the first 10 seconds of it , it reminded me of disturbia .

  • I agree...the video isn't exactly like disturbia but the concept makes you think of that video

  • ugh,

    this is nothing like rihanna's disturbia

    it's not even sped up as much as rihanna's

    there is no tarantulas, bed frame, mannequin, headresses

    yes both videos have "thrones" and freaky people

    but she shouldn't be sueing

  • this is nothing like rihannas vid what the heck that person must hate rihanna and decided to agree with tamia

  • Rihanna's video doesn't look anything like Tamia's.

    Whoever said that is wrong.

  • I have always loved this song...it came out when I was in college and the fact its about masturbation just makes it that much better

  • Oh mann dis song was live back in the day and still is

  • Tamia is amazing... Drop-Dead Gorgeous, Talented... She's an inspiration...

  • rihanna coppied this video

  • what vide0 did Rihanna c0py Tamia fr0m?

  • One thing I noticed about the videos from the mid to late 90's, they were kind of dark and gothic influenced. For exmp, this video, Timbalands videos, along with Total's videos. The "dark look" was the style! Not to mention platform Skechers:)

  • Yep its from 1998.

    I love this song...I can't believe I still know JD's part!! Its been years! Thanks for posting this!

  • THROWBACK!!!!!

  • i can't believe i still 'member the words to this song. it's been yeeaaaaarrrrrsss since i've heard it.

  • Wow! Tamia has really grown up from music like this.

  • I knew that Tamia could blow, but when i saw the little dance moves. I used to want her after that. for real

  • This video brings back good times!I have this video on tape.

  • i always liked this song!!

    but ive never been a fan of tamia she just seemed really run of the mill..hot but plain....

  • hahah oh shit i remember this when i was in high school!

  • True - so true...

  • loved dis whole cd

  • Good stuff

  • she hasn't been this sassy in any of her later videos. she has a beautiful voice

  • ahhh i memba dis song frm tym bac..me n mate made a dance to dis song wen we were abwt 10 lolzzz

  • That girl can sing

  • i think this is the fisrt tamia song i heard, i've been hooked since.

  • The dance outfit is very Janet. Maybe To much.

  • Cuz everybody knows only Janet Jackson can wear that..

  • The remix with Lil Jon and Luda sounds much better i don't know why they didnt release it,it's only on Vinyl, but this one is coo too

  • wow this is def a throwback..I use to blast this song...after hearing this song i realized that i wanted to go into the music indudrty just to work with talent like her. i def agree the video is a lil much.

  • new album is called 'Between Friends'. some really great songs on it

  • Always liked this song, tamia is beautiful. but im not feelin the video.

  • I love this song!!I never knew there was a video for this song.I took a picture with her on a promotional stop she had at the Atrium in Atlanta back in 98.The picture was taken in the back seat of her limo and I've never seen it!!!Booooooo!Who ever has that picture get it to me!!!

  • Who directed this video?

  • Paul Hunter directed this video. Paul Hunter has directed some really great videos including Aaliyah's One in a Million and Janet Jackson's I Get Lonely. Lots of his videos have this dark, surreal vibe to them like this one. Watch this video and then check out Nine Inch Nails video for Closer...some of the imagery looks similar.

  • Lamo ,Yah leather pants is flattering on noone >.< ! Tamia has such a unique voice , It's great Wonder where she is now o.O Maybe retired or something .....

  • Nah She Got A New CD Out. And A New Single.

  • gosh i hate the leather pants every singer wore in the 90's

  • COOL!

  • This vid is scary - I'm such a scaredy cat lol. Great lyrics. Love using my imagination...hehe

  • i love this song still till this day

  • Love this song,but its kinda of dark for Tamia.

  • Ahhh......dwarfs.

  • i remember this song and i remember the video being having a dark color scheme. but i dont remmber the video being all morbid and creepy.

  • JD owned the 90's

  • that masturbating theory does sound correct lol

  • Wow i never knew she was Canadian

  • wow this song reminds me of high school damn how time flies.

  • one of the better r n b tracks out there

  • awesome song

  • i love da beat

  • shes from windsor Ontario Canada Repesent yeee

  • Wow, this was her first single? I vaguely remember this song... mostly just the hook. Wow, so this is what she was like when she first came out? Her style was interesting. I'm glad she matured into the R&B artist she is today. She has a lot of great music out there, why are people sleeping on Tamia?

  • This was not Tamia's first single. This was actually the second single to come out. "You Put A Move On My Heart" was the first one. But I was really too jazzy for the age group producer was trying to target so he had to go way on the other side of the music style and added JD (who was hot at the time I guess)to the track to get younger peeps to listen. Honestly She had me when I first heard "you put a move on my heart"

  • This was the first single "you put a move on my heart" was Quincy Jones First Single off of his album where she made her debut..."You put a move on my heart" was added to her cd as a bonus track

  • I LOVE THIS SONG

  • is she talkin about masturbating?lol

  • I LUV DIS SONG AND VIDEO!

  • whoa, that's the guy from twin peaks. he's sexy!
