tamia love me in a special

[marieOH5]

Nobody can equal the Debarge sound, harmonies and chords, especially with this song, but I love Tamia's take on it. She has a voice that can handle this song..beautiful. I kinda like the different arrangement but I will always defer to the original because it has a more gospel feel to it. Love her voice!

[504sierra]

This is the song we have make up sex to everytime this song reminds us of why we are where we are today

[rosamaryful]

Tamia was good, BUT not as great as EL was!!! Simple fact!!

[Celticsbig41]

@rosamaryful it;s one thing callin it your favorite verse but it's another sayn that it's better. i got kinda excited in a fun way when i saw your post. even tho it's what you think and i respect it i don't believe it's better. the sound was really made for a woman to sing it and she song it like a real woman should sing it. with el he just has nice vocals and i had soul to it but you can tell Tamia was in the zone

[rosamaryful]

@Celticsbig41 , Don't get me wrong, Tamia isn't someone to play with. I must admit that. In my opinion though, El was better. I am an EL-aholic so El is always going to better to me. ALTHOUGH, I most certainly respect your opinion

El DeBarge and Michael Jackson fan 4 life!!!!!!

[peacantan31]

i like the way she made this her own song

[marellamofo]

I love it when an artist covers the song of another artist or group, puts their own style into the performance of the song, yet remains true to the original version. Well done Tamia.

[Celticsbig41]

@marellamofo well said!

[ooiitaqkeyhonhiikqa]

this song really touches my heart her voice is so pretty

[Celticsbig41]

You can compare the 2 version Tamia and DeBarge but the bottom line is Tamia kills it and no one does Tamia better then Tamia nor no one does DeBarge better then DeBarge. if her verse came out before DeBarge most of yall would say Tamia's verse is better.

[puppy222able]

@Celticsbig41 well said

[Celticsbig41]

@puppy222able thanx just sayin what i believe is true.

[keishawarner80]

[diamondprincess48]

I love this song!!! Tamia is the sh*t

[alean9034]

The only problem in here is the beat they choose to have this song with. Tamia!! Shes an amazing vocalist so to my point of you I would have like for her to do it the classy way as a balad. Very tricky balad to sing and she have what it takes to make it lovely her voice ...................Awesome....­.......beyond amazing.

[glsstocker]

@Destroe1 Reel talk

[jigglegirl601]

I love both versions of the song. So Amazing!!!!!!!!

[1reselle]

This is one of the sweetest love songs. I still love the way the Debarges sing it.

[MCGEHEE1]

My Girl...Sorry Grant

[ashnburt11]

REMINDS ME OF GOSPEL..SHE HAS TALENT 4REAL <3

[7013232as]

I like both versions! She just hit some high notes and El. Debarge did too but he is a man....They are both awesome

[luda0628]

Tamia did a pretty good job on this but El Debarge's voice is so distinct and can never be imitated.

[itoya90]

I'm sorry but Tamia did this song it was great

[fashizze]

good song but not exellent like the original debarge version

[fresh0106]

I do like this song, but Debarge did this song so much better. It's amazing how El Debarge can hit the notes that she couldn't. I think Elvis could have done this song and I still probably would have liked it.

[8748091]

this is a song you jam to left to right not woohoo to.

[elloo1234]

MY SONGG !!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SOMG

[iluvmyboba]

GREAT!!!!!!!!

[lougrantheone]

The only thing that makes this stick out more than debarge is the beat. She rocked it but her vocals is not better. Imagine El on this track,OH MY LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[murry585]

omg i love this song wat else wuld you want a girl for man this so real hahahahaa

[murry585]

want this

[MsLaRue1]

I LOVE BOTH VERSIONS!!!!

[solidboi87]

TAMiA is AMAZING...If I was El Debarge I would be proud that SHE covered my song instead of some WACK ASS singer...lol

[yvetteblalock]

@solidboi87 i couldn't have said it better myself ^_^

[sweetiepie9411]

bothhhh songss r greatttttttttttt i lovee mee some tamiaa and debargeeee

[torri5000]

whoaaaa; i love tamia . & el . lOl;

[gplus46]

I'll go with Debarge for sure!

I love Tamia, but to me this song sounds kind of mechanical in some places, this one isn't really moving IMO

[bxvideojunkie]

@gplus46 i was wondering why i didnt like this song, and you hit the nail on the head. she took the feeling outta the song. and its way over produced. that wack drum omg!

[bigmeechlightskin]

@bxvideojunkie You such a hater.........yu prolly cant even sing.............so yu shouldnt judge

[skittl3s101]

Singing this song for my show...=)

[MCGEHEE1]

Tamia singing gets "FIVE STARS"

She has a throne!!

[verbina25]

I was just speaking with my BFF saying I don't think anyone can pull this song off even half as good as Debarge it seemed to be made for the the lead singers voice only......I guess I was wrong! Beautiful

[imbouttosnap]

I Jus Found My Cd With this on there i'm so happy this is My Damn Song.....she ripped it.

I'm Keepin this in my car and never misplace it again!!!!

[BlowMeAway]

Tamia's version is amazing.

[fladude06]

@BlowMeAway .... i sooooooooooo Agreeeeee with you! amazing A+

[216renee]

this is good, but nobody can top El's version <3

[muziqxandme]

Love both versions.

[apatte4975]

@muziqxandme me too

[70sbaby80schild4ever]

Debarge and Tamia BOTH tore this shit up to pieces!!!!!

[dedeauld01]

Love Debarge and Tamia. Both did beautiful jobs on this song. I kinda like Tamia's better because she has such a mellow voice.

[1BIGDEAK]

Yeah, you can't touch theDebarge original. Vocals aren't nearly as smooth and when the beat comes in on the chorus, it's way too strong. Destroys the beauty of the song. You can't just change every song the way you want to...

[cassball7]

Love, love, love Tamia since I'm so into you but this is Debarge's song.

I only hear El's voice singing lead, Mark, James, Bunny and Randy singing background and my man Stevie Wonder on the harmonica.

Still love Tamia though!

[mdooms76]

She butchered this song. The original was so delicately sung...just pure beauty. I didn't like the up tempo change to the beat, and she oversang the song...especially in the end...I stopped listening afterwhile. Some songs need to be left along. A remake is just a pure insult to the original.

[tivey3]

@mdooms76 You are entitled to your opinion. I must respectfully disagree though.

[81GeorgiaGirl]

Very ambitious, however, does not come close to DeBarge. Nice try though.

[sunraypower]

I never heard this version before only the original by DeBarge. Nice rendition but it doesn't touch the original.

[adbeau82]

JERRiCKKABaBy no they didnt....i was jus lookn 4 it but I see no one posted it! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE POST IMx's VERSION OF THIS SONG!

[princejamel06]

She never let's you down.

[TriviaOne]

This is runner up to the orginal version.

Debarge and Tamia RIPPED this SONG!

[illwillj]

she made this her own... Go Tamia

[MsLadylay]

now that's how you remake a song!

[dannip333]

your right about that!!!....one of my favorites by Tamia....next to Officially missing you.....

[CraftLulz]

she did the song justice!

[LYCIABOO2]

I LOVE YOU KEITH

[maceo720]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE TAMIA SONG!!!

[msdixon2010]

i absolutely loveee this sonq !

[fruitydivine]

I like both versions

[heyheyheyheyhey100]

She sings so good.

[msrozie2004]

I LOVE THIS LOVE

[SShortyDogg]

I remember somewhere in the 90s she did her thing on APOLLO that Y I fell4 this song here

[hollywould1503]

Haters!!!!!!

[Nov21scorpio]

hell chea

[jazzyjaz0105]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

[hyphiegirl12]

El is so much better

[Machelle3200]

this sounds great....

[minniemasue]

I Love this version better than the original one

[MahoganyMusiq]

and listen to the smoothness of her voice at time 3:37 of the song... man I could just listen to it all day and escpecially that part

[ColdHeartedBeautyy]

This My Fav Song In The Whole World...No One Can Sing Dis Betta Than Tamia

[whoseanb]

You must haven't heard el debarge sing this...

[Tireese32]

if u gone do a classic, it should sound like this. good job!

[xetal7917]

The original is better. However, I've listened to a lot of cover version of this particular song and if I had to listen to any of them, it would be this one!

[KoolDa1]

I agree!!

Boyz 2 Men did their thing to one of their classics as well!!

[shikera123]

i love this song this my favorite one on rhat cd

[truevinetempleboy28]

i love this song sing it tamia

[truevinetempleboy28]

this is my song what here sing it tamia she my girl

[LCJBoi2007]

love this song my first time hearing this song was when my mother Performed it i insteadly Fell in love with it!!! Sang tamia

[hollywould1503]

She did that. I love original version but Tamia is my girl and she always rocks her songs. Get it girl.

[sbh302]

It took a lot of courage to touch this song 1st off. Love the upbeat tempo, instruments, and rhythm. It modernized the song. Both versions are hott! Can't pick one over the other, b/c they both have unique qualities of their own.

[Aseop]

LOVE THIS VERSION!!!! Tamia SANG the hell outta this song! She gave me shivers at the end hitt'n those notes like El. I am a BIG DeBarge fan(listened to them and Hall&Oats back then) and Bunny is a great singer(hear Share My World) but Tamia sings circles around her!

[phillyhustla]

Tamia really grabbed me with this song... I love it Nd i say 4get the original version

[ASLBQUEEN]

Great voice, but she is no Bunny Debarge.

[swaqlafemme]

I disagree with the people who said she failed with this song . I really like this version especially the addition with the spanish guitar . that`s her signature sound . I really LOVE this version ... not as much as DeBarge . Hell , I even love iMX version but that`s my opinion !

[cyntem1972]

I am old school, but I like this!!!!!!!!!!!

[SweetKiissesWiitLove]

iiLove thiis song.....[!!]

[jrynds]

One of the problems when an artist covers an song is the automatic comparison with the original. No, she's not El Debarge but she is bringing her own flavor. I respect that. Nobody wants to be compare to someone else. When someone wants to cover your song, that's a compliment, noone covers a bomb!

[McGriff00]

i agree,most people think when you cover a song dat it has to be sooo much betta than the original,now im a 80's baby but i dont rememba El Debarge's version. she did a great job on this song,typical Tamia and i love the flare she added to this version

[dnichols31]

I love Tamia's voice. The major diiference in this song from Debarge's version. The background on this track is more studio and the other one sound like real instrutments. It doesn't move me like Debarge.

[HardHeaded7th]

I LIKE DIZ SONG

[dutch4ya]

I think she sounds great!!

[AltruistiH]

Great song!!

[Brandtley86]

ps. it's not called a remake if it sounds exactly like the original.

[Brandtley86]

I listen to both versions and I a fan of both. Tamia's is soulful and deep and Debarge's is classic and very sharp-noted. I can see what both of you saying but Tamia herself loved the song enough to remake it. If I were you guys I would just listen to the one you like the best.

[OBAMAISBUSHpart3]

Now this is a good remake of a real classic,not that corny remake by IMX of this song.

[Bignose64]

Beautiful and pitch perfect.

[AMERICANSOLAR]

Im n love with this song

[jmurrell2929]

Love this song!

[Roddy010]

Tamia is actually capable of singing alto and soprano she has hit a c6 effortlessly so i know she can go higher than that and also El Debarge is a man Tamia is a women two different voices she has a bigger range than he does

[JERRiCKKABaBy]

NO U MUST NOT HEARD IMx'S VERSION THEY TRULY BUTCHERED THIS SONG

[InfinityNebula]

Tamia has a nice voice However... this song is too much for her she doesnt have the vocal capability to pull it off its not just about High notes its about authenticity control tone pitch..she was all over the place and FLAT on all high Notes..Listen some singers arent capable of singing certain songs as a producer myself Tamia doesnt have the vocal skills to sing this song..El Debarge has a Higher and smoother voice.. Tamia is more of a Jazz singer which is why her label probably dropped her!

[lele89119]

you couldn't be more wrong about Tamia's voice. She shouldn't sing it just like them, it's supposed to be her version. She did a great job. Stop hating.

[Roddy010]

Her label didn't drop her she left and now she has her own record company and sold 70,000 records all by herself...and Tamia is actually capable of singing alto and soprano she has hit a c6 effortlessly so i know she can go higher than that and also El Debarge is a man Tamia is a women two different voices she has a bigger range than he does

[fresh0106]

Oooh!!!!!! She sold 70,000 records. really? Please. Do you know how pathetic selling 70,000 records is. Look. I never said that the girl couldn't sing. Just that she should choose her battles a little more carefully in the future. Cause' she lost this one.

[Roddy010]

LMBAO Sorry I meant to say 700,000...and she did this all buy her self...She had to put HER OWN money into this project and to sell 7000,000 is a huge accomplishment...She sold more than Sasha Fierce in its first week.....And wat battle are you talking about you sound stupid who's battling?

Battle is a metaphor referring to her choice of songs. She chose to try and do a song by Debarge and failed miserably. Maybe next time, especially if she were to ever read these comments, she'd think twice. Please don't call me stupid again,
