@loobycliff i agree,thing is,he can sing,just chill mr gill, lol. manchester apollo holds many sweet memories for me,maze,anita,luther,freddie, etc. live in west mids but my old talbot horizon could drive itself up the m6 in the 80`s :-)
The Guitar Player on the Michael Baisden show, After dark! Was a member of the Micheal Jackson never to take place Tour,called THIS IS IS!~The boy got to bad on guitar if MJ considered him to play with him on his final tour! That's BIG~~
Ok, we all can all concretely concur that "yes", hands down... the man can sing. I just wish to God that people...artist....singers - or what have they, would grab the mike and allow their voices to speak for themselves. Many seem to OVER-sing resulting in what we have all just beared witness to; a catastrophe; which in my opinion, seems to be highly unnecessary.
lol we as woman are expensive i mean our men likes us to dress good, look good, so there u go and OMG Johnny u have such a sweet sweet voice - shivers surely runs down my spine!!!!!
I have to beg to differ @ ter8we ... i love me some Johnny think I'm his number one fan ... I will be glad when he comes out with his new album ... @ ter8we I'm kidding w u, but I love me some Johnny forever ...
@wilfri14 never paid much attention when he was w NewEdition? not into boy bands black or white................saw a performance of LSG, and was pleasantly surprised at his voice.......very nice~~ + youre right, not many ''artists' nowadays can actually carry a tune or sing with any emotion. This was a nice video to find on Youtube
yesterday i listened to this song the first time in my whole life and i got addicted to the smoothness of his voice. its crazy that i noticed this guy 20 yrs after he released this song goddammit i missed something for so long!!
@musicstah92 Huh? you mean to tell me that all of these whinning singer out there today are original? Auto tone idiots are original? Sure Johnny has influences just like any singer, but Johnny is a bad ass singer that's very underrated.
@KingMellow11 excuse me but i never said he is not talented i just said that he is a biter of luthers sound..it is sooo apparent...look at 3:24 and 6:23-6:33..if u watch luther perform a house is not a home he does those exact riffs....lets keep it real!
jg should just sing..no dancing required...i reckon he'd bring the house down more than if all of NE stepped in complete unison..no dissing NE i love them..but you gotta recognise JG's vocal talent alone...
I agree . Johnny Gill is one fine black man. If I was not married I would like Johnny to be my man. I like him since I was 18 and I'm 37 now. My husband likes to tease me about Johnny and I don't care cause he is so dam fine.
beversane, you are so right. The label had an ubelievable chance to bring back soul singing (otis redding, wilson pickett...) when the "discovered" Johnny. they blew it. With so much crap out there now, I would not be surpised if Johnny became a reinvented headliner later in life because he can actually SING!!!. Is there a producer with the guts to write for him and Stacy again? the public would love it.
Why the hell couldn't you just say "no, he did not play lamont on sanford and son" why do people always act so hard on the internet? can someone answear me that??
stop listening to tabloids asshole, he isnt gay thats one of the biggest entertainment rumors out, i know im an ex professional bodyguard. stop listening to bullshit
Because they set out to shelve these artistes for the disposables of today - cheaper to work with people whose voices you can use pc technology to brush over and clean up; not to mention how the older voices also prefer working with raw instruments and their own natural melody.
Johnny is the greatest vocalist in the last decade. He makes a sound in the way that nobody can which drills your body up and down. His technique of sinning is so exited that makes you feel co cool.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Just watch the live video of him doing "Distant Lover," or look up his cover of "close the door" on here. The difference is absolutely night and day, people. At his peak, he was the likely the best vocalist that ever lived. If this video here is an accurate representation of his current capabilities, then I may as well assume he's dead(unfortunately).
Johnny always tears it down. I knew he was going to go to church on them LOL. One of the best male vocalists ever and he grew up so nicely. Whew. That's my guy well, one of them :).
He started off slow... Then he started to sing a little...Then he really started "sangin'.....He still has it...He was always the best singer from New Edition....Ralph and Bobby could "sing" and dance....Johnny is a pure "sanger". lol...That boy is bad! I wish everyone a good year in these hard times. Good music helps you to forget... At least for a moment.
He still the man and i dont care what anybody say me and my ole lady listen to him so much my little kids know his songs they dont make muzic like they used to
Response to the HIGH PITCH VOICE comment...looks to me like he's doing the "melting an entire ROOM of women" technique here - not just one or two women like on the original verson. This method obviously works incredibly well as you can hear.
Yes, Johnny...no problem...:) high heels, red dress...perfume...you got it...anything you sing is my command ;) What an incredible voice!!! You've GOT TO GOT TO GOT TO give it up for Johnny - he's so AMAZING!!!!
Johnny Gill is the man. This is an all time classic he sings it so well. He was great with LSG as well. Old Skool Jamz are still and always will be the best music ever!!
Dam!!!! I tell you johnny is so sexy he just sing so good with his eyes to here and watch him just sebds chills through my body and that little laugh that he got justify every thing Greattt!!!! Performer!!!!!
My my my I love hearing Johnny G. sing whew he did that sh**
