Me'Shell NdegéOcello - Who Is He And What Is He To You

[choclatdrop16]

Hey everyone. Why is there not a way to upload songs from youtube to an ipod? It would be all that if that were possible.

[SnooKERpig]

@choclatdrop16 Because Apple want compensation for EVERYTHING that is used with their product. They are an awesome brand that have worked hard but the reality is, people pay for the I brand because it's all synchronised media. You can achieve the same thing with generic branding for a fraction of the cost. In your case, go MP3.

[Doggfair]

@choclatdrop16 IT is actually possible, just download the song off youtube (by using external websites, likeyoutube-mp3(dot)org and put it on your iTunes folder. Then voilà. You're welcome

[TfunkTV]

Nine people just ain't got tha funk...

[MsCharlieBrown78]

She oozes it big time.

[yshoulducare76]

If you ever get a chance, catch this sista live in concert! Straight jammin'!

[gotmypearls]

I love the original of this song, but MeShell put a 'modern' spin on it-- it can be sung to a woman from a man to a man or a woman to woman to a man....

crazy

[greywolfone1]

I love this song!

[summerjewel63]

I love her...where is she?

[BibsyP]

This woman is great.... Def the top of my female musical artists list. She has been for the last 15 years. Didn't even occur to me to look her up on YouTube till now...duh

[TheGreenerItGets]

She has an amazing vocal range.

[purplesop]

LOVE HER! She is such a badass.

[skinnymexicanbuddha]

she could be singing to a girlfried or a boyfriend

[SarahRachel59]

Sighhhhhh. 

[suite508]

@SarahRachel59 

[daremejustabit]

She is a bad ***ed b****! Love her, love this version! She rocks!

[swomack72]

Every track Meshell's ever written, is freakin HOT!

[mnclesunkey]

@swomack72 true. but you know she didn't write this? Bill Withers did.

[swomack72]

@mnclesunkey This is true, But I still stand by my statement. EVERY song/track she has written is HOT! Thanks ;)

[rascalstar23]

@swomack72 she didnt write this its a remake...

[swomack72]

@rascalstar23 Ok, her vocal delivery of this remake is super Hot, fair enough.. ;)

[Dustwyrm]

A song that would be almost impossible to do wrong by, but she really takes a hold of it and locks that shit right in.

And great playing from her, and band. I love the clav.

Its the sort of tune I dont feel too stupid about dancing to in front of my computer!

[glennadelaware66]

i havent switched my diet or nuffin, but this woman is BAD!! where is she at now? and some1 bring her back! it goes to show, the ones that enjoy that OTHER meat, get gas faced also. chicks are shady, i know. im one

[LeeAnn20008]

Singer girl. I love this remake, awesome. Wher'es Me these days?

[LeeAnn20008]

Singer girl. I love this remake, awesome.

[med151]

Not Bad but still prefer the Bill Withers original and classic.

[bombaymahogany]

SHE NEVER GOT THE PROPS SHE DESERVED!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrBassSlapp]

omg dammit ... that's a f.... hot groove. i love those sexy nasty slowfunk beats.

[ladybost74]

bill russle should be proud

[blaknificent09]

This is the lesbo version...they cheat too

[75wishes]

I recall there was a great remix to this song in the clubs. i've never heard again. this a good album.

[Solful38]

Adriana Evans' albums "Walking With The Night"

& "El Camino" now available in the US on itunes

& Amazon!!!!!!!!!

[Meloman0001]

dope

[sephardimm]

been looking for this for 14 years, bcuz I didnt know her exact name nor the name of the song.

[Mswoocancook]

Me'Shell is fabulous, flawless and amazingly talented as well. She has a sultry, soulful prettiness about her. Do you Me'Shell, do you!

[therealraybaby]

@Mswoocancook Yes u are right. I saw her in concert back in the mid 90's & she looked at me & called me a cutipie. She is a serious musician & she got a cute face & a nice big phat ass! LOL :-)

[suite508]

@Mswoocancook EYE DO! BEYOND PASSION :o)

[Skeedaddy91]

woah keep it up on that bass sis! She's an inspiration for the players :) this one is so full of groove and feeling...

[elizabethlenahan]

i looooove her!!! and shes so hot in the video! love it! love it! love it!!

[1MISTRESSKAJUN]

DAM SHE'S HOT & SEXY!

[seanmcgpa]

Incredible!

[camilivel]

a queen.

[drewbacsi]

Mr. Wah Wah Watson on the guitar?

[DSHAWN666]

TALENT AND SEXY AT THE SAME TIME

[chiko54]

what a talent

[kricket15000]

holy shit shes sexy and im a chick! i think shes hotter then a dude!

[1MISTRESSKAJUN]

TRU DAT!

[iamdee1000]

this woman is what neo-soul is all about

[shabazz20815]

I think she made Bill Withers proud the way she "re-did" his original song.

The best I've heard her. AND that's saying something because I love her music and live shows.

[douwd20]

Her phrasing is so HOT.

[den84ca]

great video; i love her

[columbusohio72]

Plantation Lullabies will always be my favorite album

[droo314]

she's "Supposed" to be doing whoever she feels like doing. And if she feels like doing a girl, that's who she's "supposed" to be doing

[SphericSenseS]

You're the funk music savant, Meshell! Love ya~!

[cavaleer]

Haha, HE is what she's supposed to be doing. The comedic ironic truth was too much to resist.

Love her voice though.

[droo314]

????? why is "HE" what she's "supposed to be doing"

[cavaleer]

Haha. Come now, if you're asking the question you already know the answer. But the fact that you asked me that question means you're delusional, or whatever euphemism you prefer to use.

Hahaha....

[lokijordan]

Because she's in a relationship with someone and this "HE" just tried to stare her down as she walked down the street with here Significant Other. In this scenario, it doesn't matter whether the other person is a man or woman; her SO is steppin'. And that's not cool- and that's her point.

[aj71169]

PREACH!!

[auggienique]

I love you, will you marry me? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

[RonnieFukinSize]

The original is far superior. I don't think she had the right voice (nice as it is) to cover this song. It's just not strong enough

[teemadis]

when did this come out

[pman247]

I Love this Girl's Voice, always have.

[JeshuranOfPhoenix]

perfect voice, amazing production and a head like an 8 ball - i love it!

[lucybean975]

Gender-fluid, butch-femme, and music doesn't get better than this.  She's got everything.

[liennto]

i'm sure that Bill Withers, as a song writer, couldn't (or wouldn't) ask for a more suiting performer than Me'Shell for the song. everybody wins on this one.

[thejukejoint]

I agree 100%. I also love how she channels a young Mavis Staples (with ooh! ahh! ey! umph! dack gumit, uh). If she had sad "sookie, sookie now.. I would be too through! Love Ya MeShell, Bill and Mavis!

[TheGrooveriders]

Oh YEAAAAH!!!!

[khaliamoon]

I love this!

[1MISTRESSKAJUN]

SEXY..............

[eric601d]

Great cover of Still Bill classic. Love the strings here. Wish she would have let those strings linger on longer.

[SeeMeFlow]

Truly an underrated artist. Me'Shell never got the props she deserved from the entertainment/music industry IMO. Unfortunately it's all about superficial commercial pop "artist" with no real talent.

[007vix]

so true seemeflow, so true.....it hurts to think about it!

me'shell is one of the best performers in her field.....so gifted.

[edricthedragon]

@SeeMeFlow so agree...

[dunnk90]

@SeeMeFlow I agree she doesn't get the kind of fame that the plastic girls get ... but she is still putting out amazing music. Why talk about her in the past tense? Bobbi McFerrin, the Grateful Dead ... lots of amazingly talented artists had no real pop fame. Heck, I wouldn't wish the fate of Lauryn Hill on Me'shell.

[lima4u]

@SeeMeFlow I totally agree i remember her premiering on the Arsenio Hall Show she has been around a long time true artistry in this day of time will go un deserved damn

[mstamika01]

@SeeMeFlow I agree!

[LeftCoastFemme]

She just sizzles.. oooh la la

[artmunky]

Great cover of a great Bill Withers' song. Love it.

[markdlowe]

Sometimes a musician has the power to move and she can do it. Goosebumps! She's a great musician with a great attitude.

[Chelsea432234]

thats that funk rite there, that soul filled FUNK

[crazedaarson]

I looove her music. Has that soul/funk/acid Jazz feel to it. She is a musical genius. I really think her music deserves much more exposure.

[olympiada06]

Definitely. She should get more publicity. She is much more talented than other female musicians who get all the hype.

[themoon1]

SO FUNKY

[samudaseraphim]

Me'Shell be doin the damn thang. Go ahead girl!!

[MaxAime]

SHOW ME THE MONAAYYYYYYYYYY!!! lol

[sonya3020]

beautiful voice, right in this video she do look ok in a dress, it's that red hair and looking straight like a hippie boy I'm not used to, yet. I mean her life is her. What is her son saying?

[SophiaSanchez87]

I adore this song and I am in awe of her talent.She is amazing.

[ludwina80]

amazing woman!!! Very sexy!!!

[Bwannadawn]

I love Meshell to DEATH.... but she don't even LOOK RIGHT in a dress!!!!

[sweetbutdaring]

i agree

[pebolooks]

Funky

[Shed98]

[wackiirahki]

[smoochesboo]

i love her n this sing

[woodie62]

She may be gay but she is fine!!!! And of course the sound is marvelleous. . .

[freedomlane]

Love her, lover her! Question remains: is the 'you' from the title a he or a she? If it's a he, what makes that the other 'he'? Big fun, those topics.

[wumibamidele]

LOVE IT!!! LOVE IT!!! How is her last name pronounced???

[chasingskirts]

n-DAY-GAY-o- chello

[bxlunar]

i would like to see alicia and me'shell together as a duet.

[alrune8]

I love that woman! She's the only one to talk openly about "touchy" subjects and still be so musically creative!

[isper69]

Me'shell is bad ass, I love her.

[drassie]

I love Me'shell's music; thanks for posting!

[bigalt21]

This song is bad as hell. I heard that Bill Withers did the original version

[SidewalksOfNY315]

You heard correct.

[Gerri000]

I LOVE THIS SONG !
