    1. I see a lot of Beyonce in this video. It is almost like she patterned some or at the very least a lot of her dance moves from Karyn White. I might be wrong though:-)

    2. I think that I just discovered the secret to easy weight loss. Dance like she does in the video and when you can keep up with her through the whole video, BAM the fat is gone.

  • I almost forgot about this one. So many memories...wow.

  • 1988 take me back. Dayum cant believe its been so long. Makes me feel dated and old. Karyn was the princess of pop to me in those days.

  • The Deele jammin with a girl singing!!!!!!!

  • @IAM7DEMONS No don't look like the Deele,the Deele should have played in this video with her!!!!!!!

  • @IAM7DEMONS That's her husband!

  • Produced by L.A. & Babyface.

  • This song kicks ass !!!

  • Love it

    

  • SHE MADE GREAT SONGS MANY GREAT HITS WHAT HAPPENED I MISS HER I GREW UP WITH HERE SHE WAS AIDOL OF MINES

  • Did anyone notice that is the same dance from one of Janet Jackson's videos? I can't remember if it's Escapade or Miss You Much.

  • @canaanaija The song even has some things in common (musically) with Escapade.

  • @canaanaija weii its not that she is copying janet jacksons dance moves its just that they are both doing doing dance moves that pretty much a lot of the young people were doing then. self indluded

  • @hassan1814 I didn't say she copied Janet ... didn't this song come out before Escapade and Miss You Much? I was just pointing out the similarities.

    By the by, I do like Janet, but if I was going to imply that someone had ripped another person off (what kids now call "Swagger-Jacking" LOL), I'd have a difficult time forgetting that Janet has actually been caught red-handed (e.g. the Des'ree scandal).

  • Is that Tonya from Everybody Hates Chris?

    just kidding.

  • @officialthad she has a youtube account and I wrote her and told her she looks just like Karyn White. she didn't know who Karyn White was so she went to check it out and she agree they both look alike. lmao

  • @TheUniqueGemini I never noticed that but I see it! I think Logan Browning (Bratz/Meet the Browns) looks a lot like her too. Especially when Logan has her hair out (natural), like Karyn in The Way You Love Me video.

  • she dances kindalike janet

  • LOL, I would have killed for hair like hers back in the day.

  • The whole time I'm watching this I'm thinking 'go on and dance in them heels girl!'

  • Not ONLY can my girl hecka sing....but she was GROOVIN in this video! I love how sexy was in back then.....not trashy! AMEN???

  • LOL i used to love this song wene i was in elementary we had teen dance's @ are school we would break it dwn...... LUV u KAREN WHITE.

  • she's Sexxy!!!

  • Damn this cut reminds me of being stationed at ft.ord california back in 1988. My roommate from virginia would have his stereo system blasting in the room with this cut on as we were getting suited & booted to hit the club. Man those were the days. Music back then had so much substance,creativity,passion,s­oul,vibe,funk ect. I just don't see or hear any of this in today's music. I know times change & so do people,but we old schoolers know there is a BIG difference. I wish we can all go back.

  • ^ ^ Memories......  ^ ^

  • She is beautiful and I like the song. Back then you got by on talent, now it depends on how you look and how little clothes you wear.

  • Keep us posted on the new album. I'll be picking up a copy that is for sure.

  • Karen White was and STILL is sexy!!! lol She had a rack of hits back in the day! i used to luv seeing the soul train dancers BREAK IT DOWN to this song!!

  • @Aseop Thanks you for the sweet compliment! Just wait until my new album comes out, it's going to be great! Be sure to like my fan page on Facebook at KarynWhiteMusic or you can follow me on Twitter at karyns_world so we can keep in touch!

  • @slendergrl yes it is the same, but its no different now then it was back then. Back then that was the music and beats and dance moves videos and hair and clothes that was just the trend. Now it's the trend of big hair little clothes auto tune and massive amounts of makeup, and the music all talk about the same thing beats are so the same now it's funny how we like one song and not the other even though the underlying beat is the same thing. @Yoyoredman poor baby not at all gaga copy cat

  • Damn She's Beautiful. :)

  • @luv2bellydance4life Thank you sweety! Be sure to like my fan page on Facebook at KarynWhiteMusic or you can follow me on Twitter at karyns_world so we can keep in touch!

  • Lady gaga copycat....Are u serious???! lol.

  • u can hear babyfcae in background vocals..just one of the many artists he produced and wrote for in the late 80s

  • Another Lady Gaga copycat I see

  • @Yoyoredman u need a ballbat upside the head, this is 15 to 20 years before gaga young idiot

  • @Yoyoredman dummy smfh

  • Notice that Karyn didn't have to show crotch shots, act & look slutty in her videos like Beyonce & Rihanna, for people to love her music. Can't wait to hear her new album.

  • @LightMeUp777 I have always thought being classy is so much sexier than being trashy. I can't wait for you to hear my new album too! It's going to be great! Be sure to like my fan page on Facebook at KarynWhiteMusic or you can follow me on Twitter at karyns_world so we can keep in touch!

  • @LightMeUp777 i love it how right you are i mean thats what are generation is all about i mean its just crazy, and its annoying how we never here good music like this we here all that nonsense its not about how you look who has a bigger butt, but its about do really love music or money, now and days its about who's the sexiest celeb. of the week man i wish black people made music like this:(i miss those days even though i;m only 15 that was the age of REAL MUSIC when Karyn sang!!!!

  • nothing is wrong with seeeing skin color, just don't let it decide how you feel about a person, male or female. i think it's great that God made us all in different colors, contrast is a good thing.

  • I love Karyn but damn, they had her biting janet big time back then. Jimmy and Terry hooked her up and I know she married Terry but the marketing coulda been done differently for real

  • @slendergrl You must not be familiar with Karyn as an artist because if you knew of all the music she was doing during this time she was a different artist from Janet. Their styling musically and look wise was different. Janet could never pull off Superwoman. As for the hair...that's typical 80's hair that all the females was rocking, not just Janet.

  • it has taken me forever to find this song again. nobody ever knew what i was talking about

  • Oh Snap...this used to be my JAM!!!! Ooooh Weeee...where is Karyn White today???

  • love her

  • 1:18 is the sexiest Running Man I have ever seen in my whole life.

  • I REMEMBER WHEN I READ THAT JODY WATLEY DIDNT LIKE HER AT FIRST BECAUSE SHE WUZ TRYING TO STEAL HER LOOK. KARYN WHITE HAD HER OWN LOOK, STYLE, AND VOICE. SO JODY WATLEY SIT DOWN LOL!

  • I think I found the original.

  • my mom and cousin says i look like her

  • Karen While kicks Pebbles ASS!!! lolll! I love Pebbles but Karen had more pizzaz plus she was chocolate tone a good role model for the 80's during the whiteskinned slave mentality phase back then when it comes to music videos and TV!

  • @MissTia777 ..Oh gosh, no not the skin color thing - the comments will just turn to arguements. :-) Besides, no one and help what color/skin they were born with. So Perri was a different hue; however her sister Gennifer is the same complexion as Karyn ...but I know what you're saying, especially with how they were marketed. It just gets redundant when the comments revolve around color when it's something that was not controlled by either artist; as well marketing was controlled by the company

  • What a great song.......pop music of today sucks!

  • Karyn & Pebbles was the finest things walking in the 80`s and Karyn is still fine

  • 12 people never had a rendevous lol..they had a justin beiber interview lol.

  • I love this song. I wish she would release some new music.

  • they dont make music like they use to im an 80's baby.and shit like this make me wanna go back in time

  • took me three agonizing days 2 remember who sang this!!!! love it!!!!

  • AND>>>>>she whipped her hair back and forth at about 1:26...JUS SAYIN!

  • "THE Running Man" @ 1:19 "The Rodger Rabbit" @ 1:24 ......I miss the 80s & 90s all the music kind of sucks now.....

  • Go  head!!!,Karyn!!!!

  • Good Lord, she is dam fine,beautiful and can sing too.....What man broke her heart...i want to bust his head wide open......

  • LOVE this jam !

  • Beautiful lady, beautiful voice. Too bad she had the worlds worst choreographer for this video, LOL!!

  • @germanitalianamerica ...LOL. almost everyone had bad choreography in the 80s - Janet had taken Paula from everyone..lol

  • miss those days.

  • I was with her for 2 nights - I come here sometimes to imagine what it could have been like if I had the sense back then to pursue more.

  • @CaneFu I don't think i would have messed that up.

  • @Promoney22

    If you were me you would have - the very characteristics I had back then that attracted her to me were the same ones that doomed my relationships of that time to failure - being young & wild, independent, and not needing anyone. Youth is wasted on the young.

  • what happened to karen white is she still singing or anything???

  • @retroguy1976 According to Wikipedia - She currently resides in Rocklin, California, a suburb of Sacramento, and runs a successful interior design and real estate business.[1] In 2006 she recorded a new album, titled Sista Sista; which was slated for release in 2006, but has since been shelved.

  • I loved Karyn White I wish she would have made more music she had some beautiful meaningful ballads too she was awesome I heard she went into interior design

  • I always thought of Karyn as a Barbie doll... she just had that perfect face...

  • 1:20 - Doing "The Running Man" in heels is no joke. Wow!

  • @mrcrymnd - LOL, she went HARD didn't she!

  • Karyn is a beautiful woman, then and now. And I'm a white man. So, what? I don't see skin color, just beauty.

  • @gatorhunter1 You don't see her beautiful skin color? Just kidding. I get what you're saying.

  • @gatorhunter1 Thank you honey! What a sweet compliment! Be sure to like my fan page on Facebook at KarynWhiteMusic or you can follow me on Twitter at karyns_world so we can keep in touch!

  • @gatorhunter1 Thanks for the love, Booboo!

  • @gatorhunter1 Please don't apologize while giving a compliment to anyone of a different ethnic background. Let the comment or compliment stand on it's own. Yes! Karen White is beautiful and along with that is her lovely brown complexion. Unless you're "colorblind" and I do mean blind!!

  • @gatorhunter1 Beauty comes in all colors thta what makes the world so beautiful we have so many choices and you are right

  • @gatorhunter1

    Cool, and white gator hunters can be pretty hot too :) (and no I am not joking)

  • I dont remember what age I was but this song could never get old... One day im going to be on my own videos... Oneday soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love K!

  • now all the pop whateva wanna beeeezzzz move ova cuzz this is how it's done...love it!!! yes, Jody, Karyn and the old Janet not the new Janet lol..awesome..

  • love this fuckn song...on da ipod

  • @ 1:07 - Jamie Foxx

  • NOT NATURAL LOOKING DANCING AND THE THE LAST SKAT ALL THE "HOLD YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT" VOCAL RIFFING WAS USED BY WHITNEY A FEW YRS LATER, AND I THINK AFTER 7 TOO

    PLUS SHE'S EMULATING JANET WAY TOO MUCH

    THE "CUT AWAYS" EXPOSE LACKING TALENT... I HATE SOME 80s EARLY 1990s STUFF, AND THE 1ST VERSES STYLE WAS STOLEN BY FUNKY DIVAS "NEVER GON' GET IT"

    ATLEAST SHE CAN SAY THAT SOMEBODY COPIED HER AS MUCH AS SHE COPIED OTHERS...

  • Comment removed

  • @MIMI88998899 ASSHOLE GO BACK AND READ WHAT IT IS THAT'S WRITTEN !!!!

    I NEVER SAID LITERALLY THAT ANYTHING WAS TAKEN FROM ANYONE (YOUR ENGLISH TEACHER MUSTVE GOTTEN A GED)... THE ONLY THING I WORDED DEFINITIVE WAS THAT KAREN WHITE IS NOT A VERY GOOD DANCER (SORRY FOR STATING THE OBVIOUS...AND THAT, IF ANYTHING, WAS WHAT'S "NOT WORTH COMMENTING ON").

    I SAID EN VOGUE SEEMINGLY BORROWED FROM KAREN, IDIOT. I KNOW WHOS CAME OUT AND WHEN, FOOL !

    HAVE A GOODNIGHT : )

  • @NewWorldRob She dances better than anybody you see in today's videos.

  • @Promoney22 DO YOU REALLY THING SO?? WOW... WHAT ABOUT CIARA, BEYONCE (YOUNGER)...AND SINCE THE TIME OF THIS VIDEO...TLC, AALIYAH...

    I DISAGREE ("KAREN WHITE DANCES BETTER THAN ANYONE NOW A DAYS"), BUT FAIRLY ENOUGH...

  • Comment removed

  • @NewWorldRob Dude! What these chicks do in videos nowadays ain't dancing, it's fucking.

  • @Promoney22 I get what you're saying, but even in that...rhythm is rhythm..having it or in KW's case "not having it". So I was in judgment of her poor timing and rhythmalism.

  • @MIMI88998899 read closer before disagreeing nextime

    " THE 1ST VERSES STYLE WAS STOLEN BY FUNKY DIVAS "NEVER GON' GET IT "

    STOLEN >>>>>>>>>> BY<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

  • @MIMI88998899 IT WASN'T MY INTENT TO BE HURTFUL OR RUDE...JUST MY SPARK REACTION...BECAUSE I ALREADY KNEW, UPON READING YOUR COMMENT THAT, YOU MISREAD MINE. I TRIED TO TELEGRAPH THE MOOD OF WHAT I WAS WROTE BACK, BY ENDING IT WITH "HAVE A GOODNIGHT"

    PARDON MY LANGUAGE. BUT IN THE END IT WOULD ME WHOS RIGHT, AND YOU WERE MISTAKEN. ITS ALL GOOD : )

  • I forgot how much I loved this song back in the day!

  • 2 min and 40 sumthin secs lol...THE EGYPTION DANCE OmmMMGGGG~

  • damn, you betta NOT tell her band they weren't jammin' and their hair is more laid than hers lol

  • Oh My God I use to LOVE this song. I use to listen to it on my walkman, had it at the begining, in the middle and at the end of my mix tape. I miss mix tapes.

  • @psychoboysaz get a ipod.

  • Now This is MUSIC !!!!!!

  • Karen is working the hell out those 80"s dance moves. I've had the CD since it came out, never seen the Video till now. Go Karen. I miss this type of Music and the Women that performed it.

  • Love this song. White's best one.

  • Where did all the TALENTED female singers go?????????????

    I miss songs like this and talented singers like Karyn White

    LONG LIVE THE 80's!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Lol @ the dudes in the back i hate when they're dancin near the chairs they couldn't get more off beat if they tried...but i love this song and karyn white's voice!

  • *DEAD* @ the dancing and outfit but this used to be my Jam

  • In this video Karen always reminded me across between Janet Jackson & Jody Watley, lol!! Still sexy as hell in her own right.

  • @MrJuly1990ish , I was thinking the same damn thing. LOL All are my gurlz from the 80's. They made CD's that you play all the way through. I miss this so much. I still rock her cd to this day.

  • @MrJuly1990ish Interesting... I actually got more of Stephanie Mills in her facial structure and Jody Watley in the dance moves and clothing. :)

  • @MrJuly1990ish Hey, I could not put my finger on it, but you are right, janet/Jodey, but I also see a little Stephanie Mill too! Do you not agree?

  • @SuperHurricane75

    Yeah I agree, Karyn and Stephanie Mills do favor or look a like.

  • @MrJuly1990ish she reminds me of leona lewis

  • @MrJuly1990ish Janet & Jody... I can see that. You know who else comes to mind? Thelma from Good Times. Now that was another throwback entertainer who's still sexy.

  • @MrJuly1990ish --she totally has the Janet hair and dance moves! Very sexy!

  • I love her voice.

  • THIS WAS MY SHIZNIT!,LETS NOT FORGET KARYN WHITE WAS BABYFACES ORIGINAL MUSE!WAY BEFORE TONI BRAXTON!LOL.LOVE U KARYN!

  • @POORGEORGIE1

    That's right...I almost forgot it was Babyface that put her on the map. I was wondering why "The Deal" is back there. lol I guess after she hooked up with Terry from FlyteTime..they cut her off? ( Babyface that is.)

  • Her energy is amazing, I love her style of dancing, I wish I knew the 80s it looks sooo real,

  • who ever said that was fake hair obviously doesnt know that ,that is her real hair -_-

  • i had a MAJOR crush on her

  • has anybody noticed how these singers Karyn,Stephany Mills,Angela Winbush were really similar in looks and height.I dont think any of then were taller than 5'2.

    So tiny.

  • I wasn't quite old enough to get a job and buy my own albums, so I used to buy blank tapes and record right from the radio-lol. I remember meeting my first love in the summer of 1989 and I wore this song, listening to it over and over again until it made my mom sick-lol. Lot's of memories that summer, Thanks for posting :)

  • This is when women back then wasn't afraid to rock out and groove to a tune, and still was sexy!  Didn't have to show everyone their private parts!!! Sigh...I wish the young girls would see these videos and take note!

  • She  is working that fake hair. Swing it girl! LOL! Love the song!

  • Love the jam but not her fake hair.............

  • @casketkey it her real hair

  • shes very good

  • Karyn White would been 47 years old by now.

  • @kenyaloveful , actually she's 44.

  • Do ya'll see those Jeri Curl woohoo...LMAO all that juice must be dripping like crazy lol

  • That is my jam back in the day. I STILL had her first album on cassette. And the way she did the running man in heels... OMG!!!

  • Sweet

    what she up to today?

  • Dang, beautiful, talented and a great dancer in heels. Karyn was awesome!

  • Karyn kicked ass in this video! One of my all time favorite videos.

  • "I couldn't let anyone disturb this screw"? 8--|

  • @harleykman, it's "disturb this groove"

  • @harleykman groove...she was really singing as if she was dancing while she recorded the song lol..almost out of breath it seemed but no~

  • Man i miss Karyn White, very underrated talent, she was also fine as hell!!!

  • man i love karyn white;; i wish she'd come out with another album. so underrated., i could cry. that's okay i'm still a HUGE fan of hers and i know all of her songs though i'm 17;; i'd choose old school R&B over today's R&B anyday.

  • omg i forgotten this song! DAYUM so good!

  • this woman is fine as hell.

  • @MrStyles73  YES!!!

  • I was 21 when this video came out and I never noticed, but is she stacked or is it just me?

  • Karyn White is not just another gorgeous face. The song is HOT! LA & Babyface did a great job writing and producing (with Babyface singing background vocals with Karyn).

    I have to say that this video screams "Janet Jackson / Jam & Lewis / Paula Abdul (choreography). Karyn still shines through.

    I'd STILL take this 'substitute' over ANYTHING TODAY!!

  • She's so sexy, from head to toe!!! & a sweet, sexy angelic voice.  Wonder what she's doing now?

  • I still love you Karyn! Think of me!!!

  • She was a lot of fun back then.
