[lilacs91]

Women were so sexy and pretty back then. They really took care of / cared about their appearance.

[dyb67tsxd]

GTA4 VIBE

[rminister1971]

@dyb67tsxd only reason I came here was to see the clip from a great song.

[superbenterprises]

[HarleyRebel100]

great tune brings back so many memories. the good ole days. bless,thanku for great sounds

[georgedavis10]

classic hit. i enjoyed the music of Alex when i was growing up in Ghana in the early 1990s, and still do enjoy. I saw him on Jools Holland a few years ago. it was excellent.

[DJCossieMoo]

@youngstud214 yeah I heard it on GTA but couldn't remember what it was called good old sharzam

[youngstud214]

GTA4....of course

[Eastside28Kee]

This song is wett. Love tha women

[youngstud214]

Shout out to GTA4, never heard this song b4, now its top 10 jam...

[BeachChairz]

@youngstud214

I just looked at your profile.

If you really are 25 then how the hell did you miss out on this tune lol?

[mtlmagicbrownie]

@BeachChairz this song doesn't make much sense to 2 year olds!

[maxibaby72]

Love this song and great video! In total agreement with the comments about the drummer...lots of beautiful women in the video but she really stands out! Gorgeous!

[Haziebone]

Wow. A lot of beautiful women.

[phil14true]

When you have an all female band like Alex and Robert Palmer you are a player not a pimp !!!!

[DOHnutmuncherHOMER]

hmmmm,the facial expressions he pulls reminds of eddie murphy,,wonder if eddie copied him?

[FunkyWhitePimp]

@DOHnutmuncherHOMER hey you're right!! haha

[Patrakka69]

I'm not here for the video or the song, I'm here to see the hot drummer :)

[peengertie]

@Patrakka69 lookin at the drummer................. hmmmmmm

[goritsaman]

@Patrakka69 me too, whats her name

[FatFriendly1]

[TheCreedg]

The jayum in full swing!!! Dayum!!! Love this song! This song made me an Alexander O'neal fan.

[Ddrews1914]

Damnn this is the song...from back in the day

[Gmon3y72]

For someone being criticized, homeboy seems pretty happy.

[Ps3KILLZYOU]

Niko Beliec Rulez everyday!!! YEAH!!!!

[Shame85]

I know this song now thanks to GTA 4 :D

[Parasmunt]

The opening at 0.23 with the two lovely ladies is my favourite part, the dancing is quite sensual - the singers are 'feeling' the words.

Great backing singing and of course a fantastic lead from O'Neal.

[BlackRayman]

He look like Samuel L. Jackson lol, love dis song

[FunkyWhitePimp]

@BlackRayman I reckon he looks more like Obie Trice.

[BlackRayman]

@FunkyWhitePimp I stand corrected lol, he looks like him definately.

[matthewhowardwood]

Awesome tune, sad that you can't get music like this anymore. 80s rule.

[batbaby34]

This is my ex wife to the tee

[decka71]

wish i was back in 86.........

[ado1962]

awesome tune, happier times !!!

[MissMadchester]

absolute TUNE.

[GreenRedBlue20]

The Vibe 98.8.

[kurtmartial]

As coked and tripping as he was in this video, he was still the dude of all dudes, owned all them women, they would have sold out for his cash and fame, he put them in their place.

[yootuubinatwerk]

@kurtmartial lol tru dat

[wzMercy194]

[andycmac]

@100greggy Brie Howard

[EXPECTEDINSPIRATION]

As time goes, we will hear less and less from music artists of this caliber. I love Alexander's music. This is music.

[phil14true]

The 55 jerks that don't like this song are ones who always criticize!!!

[Piszczu19]

Triangle Club 4 Ever!!! GTA 4 :)

[LastHopethirtythree]

gta 4 life!!!!!

[LastHopethirtythree]

gta 4 life!!!!!

[101McSteve]

[kernott11]

[mochalady45]

[Mrfrankd109]

havin a 80s moment

[YCBLady]

I play this song all the time....love this album!

[1trl2]

Fine ass ladies back then. When a man has a all female band backing him up, that's pimp status lol!

[Yokandyman]

People forget how big a star Alexander O'Neal was at his peek....

[pavre69]

Im am happy to say, that was my time.. i lived it ... i loved it...

[Yokandyman]

@pavre69 WORD !!

[chefmonsur]

does anyone else think the drummer's really hot? :/

[Patrakka69]

@chefmonsur damn right she's sexxxxy!! lol

[TheJulieann1978]

who could criticize this its great

[TheJulieann1978]

the best one he ever did in my opinion respect to him a legend

[BeachChairz]

Heh, how sexy women looked back then. Jheezus.

[TonyClark120682]

This video might be showing it's age and even those fantastic looking ladies might be too now, but the pure quality of this will never fade. I just love this! Always have, always will !!

[shortt99]

SHUT UP NAGGING ME !!!!

[uncromulent]

Awesome stuff. Minneapolis in 1986 was amazing.

[carlsburgh]

good old days,best thing 2 me was these artists could sing,not like half of them nowadays.

[SynchroEurope]

sounds like craig coulton !

[RoscoeTravis]

@SynchroEurope

Sorry, but not in Craig Coultons wildest dreams could he sound like Alex!! He can certainly sing, but has no real individuality in his vocals.

PS, I'm from Liverpool so this isn't an anti Scouser thing:)

[Hanzi63]

Love this song !

[MrJonas128]

let's here it for my band sexual chocolate.................damn that boy's good

[TheARMAProductions]

The days of good music, before blacks were gangsterized and whites were pretty boys...

[dee2183]

I was 4 years old when this song came out! 24 years on, I still love it!

[Junior42409]

Tunnneeeeeeee my god ,listening to this shows you the talent and passion todays songs lack.

[Specrotors]

Big tune man the memories sigh...

[jmar1973]

Ah,the tight dresses,the Big Hair...

I wanna go back to the 80's!!!!

[Patrakka69]

That hot drummer, hahaha she is so fine lo

[gragidram]

@Patrakka69 HUH MAN! KNO THAT SHIT IS RITE!

[Patrakka69]

@gragidram Hahaha damn right :P

[MrRoxyboy1]

The drummer is Brie Howard. Still playing at present in a band called the Fighting Ghandis. Various clips here on Youtube. You can trace parts of her career through Google.

[Brady2k10]

haha it says hes playing in islington thats wher i live in 1 month, i wasnt even born when this came out, but i appreciate good music over todays trash, well not all of it is trash but the majority is and if i wasnt so young id definately go n check it out, cos he has other great songs too like sunshine, if you were here tonight and fake

[MrRoxyboy1]

Awesome! Bought the single when it first came out but to hear it alongside this video, WOW! The female drummer makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand, amongst other things.

[SpymanTIVC]

Best song in GTA IV !!!

[eventhorizon55]

@SpymanTIVC I 100% agree! This and Swizz Beatz "top down."

[simplyred28]

All I have to say is GO 80's!!!!!!

[praetorianc130]

@FridaLaReina

This Mr O'Neal's Bar !

[praetorianc130]

Just about everyone of these women seem to be writhing in an O'Neal vocally induced state bliss....

Art imitating life I bet .

He must have had so much ass !!

[0661984]

55 FUCKIN' ASSHOLES ARE CRITICIZED ABOUT THEIR "SMALL" TALENT..

[bigswole79]

the chick on the keyboard is the mother from the movie baby boy!!!!! WOW!!!!!!

[fomiz]

feminist of the 80s x

[LYONNAIS69FUNK]

GTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAA

[vknong]

I wanna be like him in this video

[njaswal]

damn i wish i lived in this era...F U JB!!!

[Garethincyprus]

Still makes me tap my toes and try to sing along almost 25 years later. The man could sing with style....

[gards2]

great audience :)

[ForceFagerstorm]

I love the hook on this song. "Don't just close your mind... ooh ooh ooh oooooooh... you don't realize... I just want what is right for you to say criticize." Lisa Keith did the damn thang.

[AsherBenjamin3000]

Damn those girls in this video are HOT! x) love that one on the drums, keyboard with the yellow dress...man basically all of Alexanders crew! BTW Alexander is a Man for having such beautiful ladies be in his band! :)

[SeffieArtis32]

Alexander O'Neal can get you through some female criticizing your life. Lol

[ldnztruizt]

fuckin classic!!!!!!!!

[pewmanfustudios]

I love this whole album.

[bizophecles]

i luv sittin in the strip club when this song comes on and im like " You wanna criticize ???" and then I start cappin everybody in the place, startin with the girls :D

[interestingtheory414]

I'd seen this video every chance I got when I was younger and never knew that was Adrienne Joi Johnson from "House Party" & "Baby Boy". I never knew she was a musician. She's one fine stallion. I'd love 2 ride her till her legs break.

[jippyjester]

GTA has done quality music a huge favour - countless classics have been included in the series and many of them were unknown to the recent generations.....big up to rockstar programmers' music tastes lol

[undeadkillers]

@jippyjester Agreed. Starting from GTA 3 and to the latest there's nothing I can say but damn well they did a good job.

[bizophecles]

@jippyjester

u got that right...sumtimes i hear a song and it reminds me of riding around and shootin up everything....

that one song from vice city really does it...cant remembr it tho

[simplyred28]

@jippyjester I have to agree with you. I've never played the games themselves, but the soundtracks have introduced me to songs that I have never heard before. Even though the songs are old, I'm thankful to get to know them.

[Brady2k10]

@jippyjester yh and hopefully in the new gta 5 they'll do it again

[MrCouldbeakiller]

@jippyjester don't you mean quality music has done GTA a huge favour ?? music was around long before any stupid fucking computer game.... wake up dick.

[jippyjester]

@MrCouldbeakiller you've missed my point dude......sure the music was always there, but these days teenyboppers and younger peeps are so tied up in justin fucking bieber and lady fucking gaga that its hard to get them to realise what real music is.......GTA is a good medium (and popular) to make them realise that real musical merit is not about getting your tits out and/or looking shaggable.....lol

[JadPker]

@jippyjester GTA4lyfe

[mkelley3000]

@jippyjester I think GTA Vice City has a special place in my heart. I could just drive around and listen to the music without even doing a mission!

[soulburst]

You cannot touch the womens of the 80's so much style and class all shapes sizes and colors.

[vitolegend]

go away viva 

[prazzio225]

there is no video to the rik waller version on youtube and google i looked everywhere

[chilliedog2918]

i could be wrong but looks like 1 of the girls is lou anne from in the heat of the night

[clarenicolson1]

Love you Alexander - this makes me want to get up and dance!!!!

[PitsnBulls]

Adrienne Joi Johnson?? 0:28

[MsKiisable]

@PitsnBulls nah! that's not her but gho knows

[brazeisha80]

Thank God for the 80s! and Alex O for making it memorable; thank god for U tube and in keeping his amazing voice and music alive forever for us all to enjoy! We are truly bless!

[BinaryGoldMine]

I was in a greeting card shop the other day when this came on the sound system and the fact that card shops are pretty much the same as in 1987, (they don't change much) in combination with this song playing took me back briefly to how life felt in 1987, it seemed cosier, more trouble free than nowadays, kinda like de javu, mind you I was 14/15 at the time.

[darnsfdj]

Alexander o'neil is a don!

CLICK LINK, SEE TALENT..HE'S 5 NOW..APPRECIATED ; )

[Vulbor]

That drummer is hot.

[soulburst]

@Vulbor

I think she is also in the robbie neville vid cest la vie

[TheLovwomen]

god the drummer lady is so horny looking, just dont get tired looking or listening to this song if their was ever a tune along with "can you feel it jacksons" to get up and dance to I havent heard one "damm who is that drummer"

[britt9710]

i love this song 52 people criticize and they suck :) im playing

[MrJeffw223]

Slamming song ! Alexander is the man.

[jjsassenach1]

Saw him in concert at Wembley arena, absolutely brilliant

[3DPeter]

yeah bring back the late 80's fashion and this kind of music ofcourse!

[lastschicker]

Just now realised what this song is all about!!!!!!!!

[mrjace3]

the keyboard chick is super cute and the drummer chick is smokin hot

[civwarfan]

I'd bang every chick in this video everyday and twice on Sundays! Thank you GTA IV!

[TheRobstoke]

remember this tune from goin blackpool when i was little.31 now and still think this song is mega.

[Htowngirl88]

love this one!!! this was my jam!!! Alex Alex Baby Alex ;)

[TheShogun1987]

crack is a hell of a drug.. lol

[ChrisyJ1]

Just give me about 5 women and I could have sex with those 5 women FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE if they never aged. That's how gorgeous the women are in this video.

[shymar]

gta got me here

[PHILIBOYLONDON]

Yes I know its annoying that people discovered alexander via GTA, but lets not be too pompous, I found him through celebrity wife swap!

[bigtoneson]

@shardyshaw that is her

[cinnamon3re]

Man iluv dis.song add me if u do!! Id evdn hav freinds on dis:(

[PaoloVeneziano1958]

@FridaLaReina Nice try, brother. May I make a move on the drummer? 

[klevermess]

blah blah blah racism sucks blah blah..... fuck all the bullshit listen to this great song!!! :D

[kurtmanerz1]

This is the house band at Robert Palmer's nightclub...

[MultiBlitz7]

@FridaLaReina rather it be a lesbian bar than a sausage bar

[MrBABOUCHE1]

ALEX YA PAS DE HASARD DANS LA VIE J AIME CETTE MUSIQUE GRAVE ET IL CE TROUVE QUE TU LA FAITE EN 1987 ANNEE DE MA NAISSANCE LOL

[shardyshaw]

Is that Cherayne from House Party at 0:31?

[GrumpyOldAssFart]

was that AJ Johnson on the keyboard?

anyway, I'm not a fan of R&B music but I liked this when I first heard it back in the '80s because it wasn't a love song.

[luckyjosh84]

my favourite song from GTA IV
