you know how when you look back in retrospect and ask yourself why did i think that person was cute? lookin at this video doesn't do that to me. i still think he was adorable.
@blackboysports why yes, yes i am!.......you are one of those nut job fans that would kill yourself if anything happens to Akon wouldnt you?.....*note to self: loosen one of Akon's tires on his most used car*
@carmellac2000 no i am not fan and i do not like Akon's white money music to white ppl but i don't hate him just because he don't look like justin bieber, though it maybe because i am male!
@blackboysports its not about how he looks, he just makes music that makes my ears blood and my eyes melt out of my skull, it has nothing to do with how he looks.
@ENEMENCIO123VISION i AGREE hip Hop does suck. But this is NOT Hip Hop well he does a little Rap But Other than that this is a an R&b SONG. I hate when hip-hop/Rap is Mixed with R&B But I like this song still. Because its the Legendary Tevin Campbell and he rarely if Ever raps so I give him a pass.
Ah, the late 80s-early 90s!!!! The last generation where it was evident that kids got proper exposure to the classics by their parents/relatives/elders!!!!!!
Tevin Campbell was a great talent and probably still has a little gas in the tank. He might not be completely gay but he was arrested in 1999 for propositioning an undercover cop (male police officer) for oral sex and a bag of weed and he actually requested that he wanted to give the head. Long story short, he got fined and had to attend NA and AID's Awareness classes..but supposedly he has a girlfriend now. But not hating, he was one of the best young talents ever.
@dfucku1 I used to waer this song out. I found out later on once I got older that it was a remake. Oh well. Prince really found a great talent in Tevin.
What has happened to real music with harmony and substance? No love, No romance, just tipsy in the club. Will the real musicians come back - What happened to Dru Hill, Jodeci, Zhane, Groove Theroy, Shai, Silk, Troop, Tevin Campbell, Tony! Toni! Tone!, Intro, 112, Jagged Edge, Dru Hill, Mint Condition, just to name a few.
I had a crush on the girl in this video the first time I saw this video back in the days when my sister was a big fan of Tevin Campbell then I suddenly like Tevin's music. By the way does anybody know the girl in this video's name?
He was talented.. too bad his career couldn't survive that scandal.. he hasn't been heard of since... Never get caught trying to solicit dick in the bathroom. A career breaker.
@uptownbronze Nope. Alive and Well and getting ready to drop another CD soon. He also appeared on last year's BET Awards and preformed on Monique last month. Visit him at TevinTV on youtube.
@cotb16 so then it means that his letter is letter 23 and hers is letter 22 right? i really was asking the question for the original johnson brothers song. im pretty sure they dont say letter 23 in their lyrics.
In my opinion as a young man in my early 20s, Bieber can't hold a candle to Tevin, especially when it comes to Tevin's vocal range (particularly shown in Tevin's ballads like 'Tell Me What You Want Me To Do' or 'Can We Talk'). As much as Bieber has great dance tracks like 'One Time' or 'Baby', Bieber needs to step it up in his ballads, especially as he transitions into an adult singer in a few years down the line.
Pretty good remake. I guess a great song will stand on its own as long as any artist covering it doesn't butcher it. Hard to beat the original, though.
I bet Q. Jones wouldn't allow one of his originals to be butchered by a remake he oversaw. But, I stand corrected because Brandy butchered Rock With You and Q was involved in that version as well.
@ chrizbrownzwife101! Yo fellas out here, why do chicks have NO UNITY & HATE on each other. This bird should get a beatdown by C.B. just for naming herself his wife. I bet he would love that, he whips bitches ass because he got caught out there instead of just leaving them. I guess ya'll young girls don't learn or feel bad for each other unless it happens to you.
people just mistaken him to be when he really said he felt "experimental"...more times..its his music dat really counts..he is a super sweet person though..i feel what ur saying though..he's a cute guy
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He's gay as hell, so what are you talkin about? It's pretty obvious from his mannerisms and the way he moves in ALL his videos. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahhaaaaaa
Tevin is a FINE black man! I was 15 when this came out in 1992, and I had a TREMENDOUS crush on him back in the day. Tevin will always be in my heart.
I didn't know this song was original sung by the Brothers Johnson until I heard them on the radio a few years after Tevin release his version on the radio and video. I like both versions, though.
I watch this video often bc Tevin is so handsome, talented, gifted, creative, and has such a beautiful smile with those big dimples! I wished that he wasn't so underrated in his profession as an Artist. He is one of the Best Artists in the business! I will always be a TC fan!!!
I love it! Thanks for posting it again. Tevin seems to be really enjoying himself. I like the rapping. He an Artist is many gifts and talents. Such an amazing and incredible voice with some pretty good moves! Tevin please hurry and make a comeback! We love you! We miss you so much! God Bless!!!
