Jill reminds me so much of Janice Joplin in this performance.. the way she seems like she's in a musical trance.. the way her hands move throughout the performance.. #priceless..
Luv Black Thought. He soooooo sexy right... And Jill, beautiful as always and ever so talented. I wish they were a couple. That would b black luv in it's greatest form...
who do jill and eryikah try so hard to look stoned in public, we don't have to kow their business. , take that back... they don't have to try very hard at all, badu usually looks crazy as hell and jill goes for the "I'm so high look"
@ajspruell That was meant to say "WHY do they" and it's the truth. they always want people to feel as though "We are all just here to get stoned with this music" I have never used drugs, and listen to music naturally. Jill and Badu promote smoke culture. and yes I must surely be the idiot you think to even bother responding, so do yourself the favor and don't respond to this, it's not worth it. !
this song is just amazing. Until some days before I only new the version with Erykah, but Jill Scott has so much individuality, soul and jazz in his voice and expression - wow, I'm speechless! Thank you for posting it.
There is a great version of this song, Live, with Jill Scott, on Itunes. Its on The Roots Live CD. I know Jill wrote it, but I dunno, I still kinda dig Eryka Badu's hook a little better.
Wow! I just added this version on to my ipod now! But the quality still sucks :( the quality is actually worse, still i enjoy including it in my collection of music. I listen to it to.
Jill Scott all natural and less heavy before the cheddar started rollin in.money sure does some good coz she looks like a goddess now.i luv her either way tho
The Roots....& ... JILL SCOTT....representing N. Philly yall.........this is a killa version of the song....yall know Jill is gonna kill .......everythang she blows.....keep it 1...Jill
@misterali512 u just made me say size does matter yo - those curves are real, she's real! In case I didn't mention let me agree w U right here right now
@graffkidd21 I wouldn't give her amazing with her being a little heavy . She looks great here. Without the weight on her face you can really see how amazingly attractive she really is. She is pretty regardless.
It's great but I still like her other version the best. Badu is also good but the other version of Jill scott is simply amazing

Jill Scott is great...but Erykah Badu added that lil bit that just makes it more "haunting" . Both versions are great though.
