  • Truly one of the "Greatest Hits Of The 90's!" ;)

  • This is one of those songs that I remember what I was going through when it first came out. Great song.

  • I love this song....wow the memories

  • I haven't heard this song in a minute! This is why I love YouTube, you can find old mucis videos you haven't seen in decades! :)

  • HELL YES!!! I <3 <3 this song. I was in 8th grade when i bought the single. I fuckin' LOVE THIS. such a great song. Thanks so much for posting this.

  • I am surprised to see that so many others are thinking about this song! I've searched for this rare song for so long. To see other comments as recent as one day ago confirms that it's a great song to many and not just me. Thanks for uploading this!

  • princesspurrfect11, you are hilarious. I thought i was the only one who kept playing this over and over again. This reminds me of a time in my life that was SO fun. Something very special about this song and artist although I was somewhat ashamed to admit that I liked it. I LOVE Nikki! I just found out he is married to Martika who also had one of my favorite songs from this time period.

  • this is mediocre at best. The vocals are so weak that they are almost laughable. Like every 3rd rate Prince clone, he gt over on being a pretty boy more than being good. I take the CD out every now and then though

  • Fucking love this song!!! I played it sooo much over the years, and I still can't get over it!!!!!! Hahaha!

  • I broke the replay button :)

  • @1245chester Nikki went on to marry Martika and they have a project together called Oppera.

  • @1245chester .. not on YouTube? HUH? lol... where do you think you are right now??

  • everyone go to Itunes, Oppera, Another Dollar, it isn't 1989 and it isn't Notice Me, but it is him and his sexy ass voice! mmm, MMM, MMM, mmmm

    wow, I am so glad I saved that box of cassettes, a gem does best describe it.

    80's female teenager

  • Ah a well written song.....so true.....mattered a lot back in the day.....

  • A Classic jam..and this song is 21 years old. and still a jam. Thanks Nikki for this Rare jem.

  • Michael was my first boyfriend ... well, if you count 1st grade as dating! :-D My family moved away after that yr & in the late 70's, he & I ended up in the same high school & became pretty good friends (Senorita's Spanish class - WOO!!!). He was a sweet, funny, creative guy. He left h.s. to start touring & I've always wondered what happened to him. It's great to see and hear that he's living his dream.

  • Great song- Haven't been able to replace my tape; need it on itunes!

  • Holy Crap, it's been soooooooooo long!!! I was eleven when this came out and I only saw it once! I'm freakin' 33 and here it is!

  • Wow...this brought me back. I still have the single of this on cassette!!! Awesome...thanks for posting this!

  • Oh my Damn.. I have been searching for this song for years. To whomever posted this, thankyou so much. I still love this song, this is a time when music was music and people had to have talent to be signed. I wish we could go back to the good tymes!!

  • his style kind of reminds you of Michael jackson!!!

  • THANKS TO WHOM EVER POSTED THIS JAM..BROUGHT A SMILE TO MY FACE TO HEAR THIS AFTER SOOOOOOOOO MANY YEARS..SPECIAL MEMORIES!

  • Somebody PUT THIS ON I-TUNES PLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAASSEEE??­?

    Thank you.

  • WOW ! i found my favorite song . amazing

  • I love this!!! Brings back so much!!

  • I had to buy this cd...just for this song...couldn't find this version for download anywhere.

  • where can i download this amazing song??? plssss helpp

  • I am Gone ... OH Y'ALL DON'T KNOW ... This was my long lost love !

  • I love this song. First time I heard it, it stuck with me. Anybody who wants to be noticed can feel his pain. But yeah, now that I'm grown up - it's a stalking song! He is now named Michael Daemon and he's producing and acting in a series called J8ded. Never heard of it, I don't know anything about it, but it does have its own website. Check it out. It's just info... I always wondered what happened to Nikki.

  • This song brings back a flood of memories...junior high in the early 90's anyone?!

  • OMG thank you so much for posting this video!!! I've been checking every so often to see if anyone has! Love this song then and still now. Ahh, the memories.

  • wait a minute,I was told this was a female singing this song.Many of the DJs who played this song ID Nikki as a woman.Anyway,great song.

  • You cannot find this song on iTunes!!!! ... I remember this song back in the day, and actually heard it played once recently on the syndicated radio show "Delilah", but could never remember the words, or the title... I NEED this for my library

  • Great song....was underrated then and still is now......good vocal to a very original song.....the chorus is simple, but his voice makes it unique because of the passion that exudes from him......almost like a softer Prince....how did this song do on the charts? I seem to remember it being out in the summer of '90. Definetely the best song on the album

  • I thought that I was the only person who remembered this song.It was such a great song(now,it seems more of a song about stalking)but other than that,it was still a good song(a top 20 hit)

  • Wonder what happen 2 him?

  • @therealraybaby this guy is married to 80s pop singer Martika (etc. Toy Soldiers, I Feel the Earth Move)

  • @PopCulture20 Are you serious? I had no idea they were married. I have liked both of them for years! Any idea what Nikki is up to these days? Any new material? This is the best song he ever did. I still play the album once in awhile. I have a whole new respect for his music. Sometimes if you listen to something you haven't heard in awhile, it has a whole new perspective. He is very talented, almost reminds me of Prince, but in a poppier way.

  • @MrChicago891 And here's another shocker...........Nikki legally had his name changed Michael Daemon so it could live up to his now-edgy image that he & Martika both have now because they formed a goth band over in the UK called ''Oppera''. According to wikipedia, they're now both back in the U.S. trying to rebuild their careers because the whole Oppera stint didn't work as they planned.

  • Fantastic song, very well written and moving. Takes me right back to a really fun time in my life!

  • To me, this song sucks. But why do I keep listening to it? Odd. Usually I'm used to listening to Ke$ha and all those today's song, but I wish we were back in the 80s-90s. The songs had meanings to them.

  • whatta fucking amazing song! it make me cry couse i m in love and she s not notice me

  • Oh yeh, i know he was a guy, i went got the music back them. I wish i could find it to download it.

  • I remember Him, love this ! i remember when they were going to interview Nikki via satellite live on a live radio show, and a soft girly-boy voice answered and said Nikki wasn't available, even though the show had the call set up, and that the voice speaking was his manager. I always wondered if he was in fact just shy, or perhaps transgendered. Not being harsh, just what I thought as a young pre-teen, but he is wonderful and a terrific singer.

  • I remember Him, love this !

  • No wonder she never noticed him...that's one ugly dude. haha Anyway, I can't believe I never hear this on the radio. #21 peak on Billboard is certainly high enough to garner a few classic plays, especially since it was played so much way back when. I got the promo CD single of this when the song came out and never knew what he looked like. Weird to see this video after all these years. Definitely a one-hit wonder!

  • @JTinGR I feel the same..This song got alot of airplay on our local top 40 station in San Francisco (KXXX "X-100" at the time)...I stumbled across the US 12" promo single of this years back..As far as I know this song was'nt issued on vinyl commercially in the US so this promo is a treat..

  • Live Performance is on jaialover5!

  • JUST PERFECT!!!VERY EMOTIONAL I LOVE IT!!...KISSES AND LOVE FROM GREECE...:-)

  • Everybody should check out my remake

    by J-exclusive!

  • Thanks for this post. Great song!!!!!!

  • So love this song

  • I never knew there was a video for this song, but this was my jam. I'm so glad they posted it on here.

  • This song was and still is underrated.

  • I don't hear this anymore anywhere. You know this used to be one of the most played softies on Muzak channels for restaurants and other business back in 1990. I'd hear it daily even after it's peak on CHR (Pop) radio.

  • First time I heard this was in March of "90" on "MTV" and then would hear it in stores very frequently thereafter.

    Gosh how I wish I could go back to those days again

    How I would've done things so differently than I had :(

  • i remeber this from mtv 89 he had on a big blue coat and theres a door sticking up outta the sand.etc. been looking for this.

  • see, dayum this is that track you put on a SLOW TAPE, lol and U make sure this is either the first or second track on the tape... excited to give it to her or him(for the ladies)... and Mrs J Cole, yeah U right U can feel his raw emotion even to this day.

  • damn... this was my shit... folks slipped on this

  • Very good song.  Thanks!

  • Wow. Night Tracks. I thought Michael Jackson didn't have kids until a few years ago. Ummm... Blanket?

  • Ouch...although the truth hurts n this case I can still dream.

  • Alas...the theme song for wallflowers like me. All of the guys I hopelessly crushed on since the 1st grade comes to mind with this cold cut classic. Unfortunately, Nikki did not blow up. My opinion is that vocally and stylistically, he was too reminicent of the DeBarge family which meant the end before it began...

  • Love this song!!!!!

  • I have always loved this song and now to se the video has mad it even better for me.

  • I didn't know this had a video!!! OH SNAP! I useta seng this song while bucking up to call my crush in 7th grade!!

  • Wow! I've been a-waiting and a-waiting for this to appear on You Tube for the longest time and hurrah! Finally!!! Thank you for posting this awesome video; I do remember watching it on Night Tracks way back when. In my opinion, there is no great music after the mid-90's.

  • great guitar solo..and voice ;)

  • awesome

  • omgosh i have been looking for this song for years!! i recorded it off of the radio back in the day.. ty ty ty FB!!!

  • @katespade1977

    I have this song on a cassette but I have been looking to download it. They don't have it on Itunes and I don't know how to get it added to their website.

  • used to love this song. still have the cassette single somewhere.. anyone else remember what cassette's are?? lol

  • @mjr1701

    But of course! And 8-tracks too and how about 45 rpms and 33's . . .

  • @mjr1701

    So I'm not the only one who has the on cassette single anymore LOL!! Yes, I remember what cassettes are and those singles were the bomb back then. I hate they stopped, but with the advent of CDs and MP3s, they were going to stop them anyway.

  • @tromeoandjuliet I'm 21 years old and I love this contemporary 90s music!!!! today's music is mostly based off of mediocre teen pop!!!!

  • and for those who don't know, Nikki is married to former 80s/early 90s pop princess, Martika, who known for her hits such as ''Toy Soldiers'', & ''Love Thy Will Be Done''. She was also a member of Kids Incorporated right along with Fergie & Shanice Wilson

  • Comment removed

  • @tromeoandjuliet there's a clip on here of Martika singing ''Never'' by the band Heart on Kids Inc. it was her best performance on that show in my opinion

  • @PopCulture20

    THAT QUEEN MARRIED A WOMAN!

  • @MaxMikeLatino HUH? I so did not get that

  • @PopCulture20

    Back in the day everyone thought he was gay and not only that but a big ol' woman. As in a big Queen so I was surprised to find out he got married. But trust, he's a homo he's not going to fool me.

  • @MaxMikeLatino Maybe the thought crossed everyone's mind b/c its always a possibility. However, alot of male performers had that "androgynous look" during the 80s-early 90s. Admittedly, your news of him being married made my day. A girl likes to think she at least fundamentally has a chance with someone who appears a little suspect. LOL!

  • @RavenlucJanie He's a queen and he ain't foolin' nobody. Women are such fools. That's why so many are married to closet cases.

  • @PopCulture20

    Get outta here .... Martika ..... who'd of thunk it!!!!

  • Wasn't this person the new lead singer for Shalomar ?

  • wow the song came out in my freshman year

  • WOW...what ever happened to a decade of amazing music that had so much heart and meaning?! Everytime I hear this song a flood of emotions come rushing back...ahh the momories...

  • @jsbrandon: What's a momories?

  • my father was a senior vp at geffen and he brought this home when i was on break from school... too bad guns and roses kicked his ass

  • That's crazy! I thought I was the only person who remembered this dude. LOL. I was ripping my cassette to MP3 tonight and I decided to see if I could find any NIKKI on You Tube and presto!! There he is!!! What a rare video find!! Thanks for posting.. Where is Nikki these days anyway?

  • very cool song which still holds up today!!!!

  • I love this song!, and until seeing this video. I did not know that Nikki was not female but a male!! Nontheless I loved this song then and I still love it!

  • Here i am up at 3 in the morning and come across this masterpiece of a song. Nikki made this song a hit due to his raw emotions. How can u not feel the words.Thank u 4 posting this video and im sure many others will comments on it as well;) gudnight.

  • I always loved this song. i thought Nikki would have been very successful if his label didn't try to make him the second coming of Prince.

  • i had this old single tape forever, the other day i pulled it out,and it had some stickycandy stuck on the tape of the cassette, i almost cried!! but now i found it again on youtube,and i love it!!! love it..to many memories to throw it away..ill keep my sticky tape..lol..love this song!!

  • wow that one takes me back to some simpler times...

  • i found this CD at a yardsale a few weeks ago! None of my friends remember this song, but i loved it back in the day! Good lookin' out!

  • Thank you for posting this video! I loved this song back in the day and it's so great to see the video again!

  • OMG! I remember Night Tracks!! Every Friday night. Excellent memories indeed!!

  • Thanks for uploading! Do you also have his other song I think it's called Mr DJ won't you play my song...or something along those lines. Much appreciated if you do

  • I love this song!!!! So happy to finally see the video. I would love to hear more of him.

  • I am pretty good with faces and I remember meeting this guy when his song was a top hit....I recognize him now as Michael Mozart from the duo, Operra with his wife Martika (yes--THE MARTIKA).....  I bet my life they are one in the same

  • you are correct google singer nikki and there you will find it

  • I absolutely love this song . I never could get the name thank you google.

  • Lovin this song, takes me in the waay back machine to happy times as a kid

  • Man, I can't believe it's been 19 years since I last saw this video! I'm still a fan of the song, and I know every word to it.

  • This song got alot of radio play here in San Diego back in 1990.

  • RARENIGHTTRACKS: Good lookin out, phasing in a better quality audio track. ;-)

    Good job!!

  • Man, this is a trip. Only saw this video a few times on Night Tracks, and even on MTV, I believe. Recorded it on VHS, too. I remember being totally repulsed by Nikki's wierd effeminate look (stubble and makeup) but looking at this video now, and comparing it with today's off-the-meter insanity, this is nothing! ..the hell was I trippin about... lol!!

    One of my favourite songs, by the way; I've listened to it very often in the past 19 years. Very cool to see the video again after so long.

  • This is the first time i've ever seen this video and I've always liked this song. But, what surprised me is the fact it's a guy. i always thought it was a girl. LOL

  • love this song. have not seen this video in years. he had another song called.. if your ganna be with me. but this was his best song Thanks.

  • JETIT: It was called "If You Wanna." I have the 12" single.

  • One of my favorite songs of all time. I have looked for this video forever. Thanks for the post!!!!!
