[CanoSunjata24]

@ceeza314 Lmao! lowkey it do look like that's what he doing

[ceeza314]

That awkward moment when you revisit this video and realize his move were TERRIBLE. :(

still the jam though..

[drell2471]

he cant dance like bobby brown just stop it !!!!!!!!!!!!

[apricotvixen]

That took me back. Awesome!

[etornel79]

if you didn't play football ..but sang...you would have johnny gill and not bo jackson....

[jlmarc01]

better voice than Bobby Brown, too bad he could not be media whored

[iwouldbonekerihilson]

I just discovered this song few seconds ago and I just could not help but start dancing to it. Awesome tune.

[afbey0511]

[BillyKnockout]

I just seen Johnny Gill on " Unsung " and he looks like he lost some weight and looks ill .

[Diamondgrl2007]

age 3-4 we danced to this song for a talent show and im just now realizin we stole damn near all the dance moves he did lol...2:45 is when we start tearin it up lol...those were the days..i miss the 90s!

[BlkAmerPncS]

I used to love this video. 

[Shane86Rus]

San andreas

[COMPFUNK2]

Great song, but I never understood why he appears to be in an abandoned building.

[antirblack]

19 people got rubbed the wrong way

[LocdNLovelyRita]

Wait didn't johnny gill REPLACE Bobby in new edition? Because they weren't in the group at the same time.

[COMPFUNK2]

@LocdNLovelyRita They have been since 1996.

[samoafanatics]

@LocdNLovelyRita I'm not sure but I think they brought Gill in because they were expecting Ralph Tresvant to leave.

[LocdNLovelyRita]

@samoafanatics Oh no!! Not Ralph!! He's always been one of my favorites :0)

[samoafanatics]

@LocdNLovelyRita Don't worry, he didn't leave lol, he stayed on for a couple of years and then they all went their separate ways.

[dogcat126]

i'm 63 and i just love johnny gill!!! he's great looking, a great singer and a great dancer. I just saw a video of bobby brown on vh1 then johnny came on. bobby's good too and they were great in their group new edition!! thanks so much for posting!!!!!!

[Frankzvpl]

0:00 here we go again!

[Jefgg]

I used to think Johnny Gill was a great dancer. Should I mention if I was any whiter I would be transparent?

[beigewood]

@Jefgg i have never seen this video before but OMG!!!!

[TheRoque1974]

you still get me moving Johnny! love it!

[akili71]

This is some high energy shit...

[dathird11]

@akili71 i thought i was the only 1 that realized that cuz he was pump'd the hell up on dis video....

[burbuliukai]

Who is that girl in the video?

[marc96accord]

Im rocking this hair cut right now in 2011

[evilapplesauce]

Wow, can't believe this was my jam at the age of 7! LOL So much time has passed

[herkeda]

A great club banger from Johnny Gill! However, he looks like he's having an epileptic seizure on the dance floor. While his dancing was (barely) passable as part of New Edition, he ain't the best solo dancer. I'll give him a pass though, because he's a fantastic singer.

[jaedub74]

@herkeda I TOTALLY AGREE W/YOU ....LMAO NEVER HAS HE BEEN MUCH OF A DANCER, SEE HIS DANCE SOLO IN BBD'S WORD TO THE MUTHA VIDEO (HILARIOUS) HOWEVER JG WILL KILL ANY SONG YOU PUT IN FRONT OF HIM #TEAMNE4LIFE

[iwouldbonekerihilson]

I meant to type now instead of not.

[iwouldbonekerihilson]

Not this is real music right here. Upbeat jams. Sadly they don't make music this good anymore.

[ginoccat]

hott!!!!this would bump in a club

[Jefgg]

I heard Eddie Murphy rubs Johnny Gill the right way.

[BBoiiLite]

@Jefgg I heard Jefgg rubs himself the right way.

[akili71]

@Jefgg Give it a rest, unless you wish to join them..

[ThomasxicoFree]

@Jefgg lmao i've heard that too lol

[ThePocahontas225]

@Jefgg that's just a rumor, he got a super fine girlfriend.

[Jefgg]

@ThePocahontas225 Johnny Gill's girlfriend might be a "beard". I heard things.

[COMPFUNK2]

@Jefgg You have any idea how old that rumor is?

[bonessack]

Had to search through 3 versions to find the B.E.T/MTV after 10pm version of this track. Remember back then, when there were multiple (*white people friendly) versions of songs? Crazy shit man lol

[daymude63]

no, the 90s were good for dance music. this, chris williams and others gave us some fantastic tunes!

[debbiechickie5]

Hmmm...who to choose: Bobby or Johnny Back In The Day...mmeeoowrr...



[CVTom]

Great singer, but can't dance to save his ass!

[dkthg]

STROKE!

[crouchhill]

DAMN THE WHOLE ALBUM WAS SICK, I WAS GOING OUT WITH A GERMAN GIRL AT THE TIME AND AFTER WE SPLIT THE BITCH LIFTED IT.

[patrick7471]

from our world today he would look like a retard but back in the day he was groovin

[patrick7471]

thumbs up 4 gta soundtrack

[CharmingFinn]

Johnny Gill has an aversion to shirts like Dennis Rodman does to a man's clothes in general...

[sarasmilepiano]

This track is beast. New Jack Swing = New Johnny Shwing

[LatinaSpicy08]

YES johnny you rub me the right way

[LatinaSpicy08]

OMG! i love this video and i love his voice and he looked good in this video , so smooth .good luck on your comeback though you never left . mmmm would you marry me johnny ?

[daniellecmann]

Johnny can still dance fools under the table. NE too...

[herkeda]

Johnny Gill ain't rubbing on any women LOL. Good song though.

[HomebreadOG]

Real music

[najjif]

hes the man!

[Dstreetz17]

he looks like bobby brown at 1:20

[TenaciousTennia]

honestly!!! this is degrading!!! i just think his camp wanted him to put something out ppl could dance to as oppose to really displaying his vocal talent! and they coulda gave him some backup dancers!! johnny is above this!

[surambaya]

@TenaciousTennia - Are you listening to the lyrics, the power, the passion, the greatness.... do you actually feel the magic in his hands?

[GooGooBear24]

REAL TALENT! Take note.

[GooGooBear24]

This that NEW JACK JAM!! You can't find jams like this anymore!!

[tinkerbell1824]

thank you jimmy jam and terry lewis!

[FarleyTube]

It's so weird to be older and look back at him and realize how young he looks.

[TheRoque1974]

ooh this brings back memories! make's me wanna hit the floor!

[jzeema]

so when this came out i was like 7 and had no idea of the things this song was about. now that im older...... just realizing how dirty this song is. new appreciation.

[TH3FR4G1L3]

@jzeema I prefer the dirty songs of the older days to the newer dirty songs. Simply because they left something to the imagination.

[FarleyTube]

@TH3FR4G1L3 And you could hear them on the radio without a bunch of words being blanked out.

[TH3FR4G1L3]

@FarleyTube Amen to that!! People knew how to be creative back in the day.

[blade3327fan]

san andreas!

[HomebreadOG]

Dont hate on this man

[lkp1215]

go johnny! go johnny! go johnny! go johnny!go johnny! go johnny! go johnny! go johnny!go johnny! go johnny! go johnny! go johnny!go johnny! go johnny! go johnny! go johnny!go johnny! go johnny! go johnny! go johnny!

[babytaylorm]

He has one of the best and most underrated voices in R&B music. During the Motown days, Smokey Robinson could have written a song to showcase his wonderful baritone . Hopefully, someone will.

[VarietyMusicLover]

love this one new jack swing  new jack city were big early 90's !!

[bdoug202]

press 2 for budget AZZ Michael Jackson moves

[markaustin65]

WOOOO! this useta bump those Alpine's in '90. Love it still!

[rcdone]

aye our band plays this...

[jmanexpress]

he could give Breezy a run for his money with those moves LMAO!

[TMBuxton]

I don't know what the rest of y'all are smokin', but if someone couldn't dance, you'd be able to tell right away from how uncomfortable the person looks. You would NEVER catch me doing a video like this (I don't dance). Not only does he look comfortable here, he's quick in his movements and pretty on top of the beat (which is vicious). I can't understand why noone can see that. Even considering that this video is 21 years old, his dancing still looks pretty dope.

[ifitwasntforHIM]

love this video Johnny is on fire 

[MrSallymac]

cant find the version with Heavy D doing his rap.I use to have it on tape back in the day.But can't find it anywhere.Am I going crazy in my old age?It did happen correct?I even remember the words and everything.

[InLoVeWiThLaNgStOn]

18 People Were Rubbed The Wrong Way .

[THIZZ30]

gta san andreas lmao

[RapistRonald]

@Cadillacpimpin314 Those days were also filled with plenty of cream and apple pie.

[RapistRonald]

He dances like a true rapist.

[bigarmsabe]

lol johnny is the best dancer ever

[bkgangstashawtii]

Ya'll leave Johnny alone!! LMAO

[GameFont]

...And WHAT THE FUCK is he wearing?

[RapistRonald]

@GameFont He is wearing the latest version of pants from the Mc Donalds chain.

[GameFont]

Holy SHIT! What the fuck is he doing at 0:39?!

[RapistRonald]

@GameFont He has sexperienced what its like to have crabs for the first time.

[lilpimp994]

The MAGIC in my hands when I TOUCH

[RapistRonald]

@lilpimp994 The magic in my pants as YEW TOUCH

[Agent1W]

I think I was closer to R&B in the 90s than any other genre in the 90s. I can even remember practicing these dance moves in elementary school, as well as Michael Jackson's moonwalk, spin turning, and crotch grab.

[RapistRonald]

@Agent1W Yew must of be a real sexpert now performing the crotch grab. Care to show us on Youtube for those little kiddies who know nothing of this act? I promise to give yew a tasty burger not only will satisfy your needs, but also the children next door.

[Agent1W]

@RapistRonald I didn't even know that it was about sex back then, it just looked cool. I was told not to do that because I could get into trouble but why? Guess nobody else really liked Michael Jackson in the 90s but me at school.

[iwaswatchinthat]

he is working HARD in this video,lmao!!

[jellis0723]

JSU PLAY THIS SONG BETTA THAN ANY BAND OUT THEA

[MuzikFL007]

lmao @ the gumby hair cut, that was the shit back in the day

[itsarationalgospel]

do you know whats funny back in the day I did not even notice he could not dance ooo but this song yeah johnny one of the most underrated talents in r &b

[JSCOTT215]

Yo...the song is beyond dope...beyond dope...but yall know his dancing was sub par......at best.....good thing he can sing his face off. lol!!

[BigOldMrKnish]

his dancing looks alright to me. all i do is the two step. =/ great song, btw. i hear those days were gold. lucky you.

[rrbrown813]

Non stop jam. 90's weren't too bad either. (I'm an 80's baby)......

[Athena2849]

This music will forever live on even as i get older

[caseyjburk]

I think his music (and dancing) kicks ass. :.)

[Rlowe928]

The whole vid should be that girl in the leotard.

[KoolKenny1133]

Hard to believe ,21 years already.....blessed with a Teddy Pendergrass voice at such a young age...had high hopes for him,when this album was released,but...taking away Will Smiths first wife ..not a good move by him.....karma is a bitch...

[TheLexie57]

who cares about his dancing! he getting money!!

[musicman65000]

N'spite of the black mullet, I used to kill this song back in the days. You go, Johnny!

[frede1sj]

"Hey!" (My fav part)

[CraziazcanB]

He's Gay as HELL but I still can't deny his Talent!!!

[MrExodus]

0:36 that little self rub down and facial expression is effin hilarious pause @ 0:37......oh yeah couldn't dance to save his life.

[marytujaka]

Y'all are nuts- his dancing is DOPE awesome!!!! He's hot on the beat ....maybe the choreography is different thatn what you're exposed to- but he is totally on it...amen @tht- goo JOhnny Gill ...rub you the right way :)!!! :P

[KaishaLaSha83]

His lack of dancing makes up in his voice cause Boogie can SANG!!!

[ceeza314]

@ohemgee85 no what youre not getting is these moves were wack then and theyre still wack now... artist from the 60s 70s 80s and 90s dance moves still hold up today.. see new edition. michael jackson whoever.. johnny couldnt dance so what .. his music holds up.. his dancing was and will forever be a fail..

[ceeza314]

ohemgee85 no what youre not getting is these moves were wack then and theyre still wack now... artist from the 60s 70s 80s and 90s dance moves still hold up today.. see new edition. michael jackson whoever.. johnny couldnt dance so what .. his music holds up.. his dancing was and will forever be a fail..

[bdot7]

He performed in new haven for free last night at least a mile away from my ladies house and we could hear him perform this clearly through the windows. Crowd was going crazy.

[swvcat1]

This song was cool when it came out and it still sound is great. 

[daylamont]

aint shit wrong with his dancing,such a bunch of critical bitches.........dam

[ohemgee85]

@daylamont exactly.....the dancing is not going to look like something you would see today because this video came out in like 1990,so the dance moves are going to fit for that time.i see people are not getting that.......

[WeInTheFlesh]

michael jackson was a good dancer from the time period of the 80's and 90's. don't make the 90's look like they were prehistoric..

[darien811]

@daylamont Check out 2:13 again. He can't dance for $h@t!

[breezy9127]

Love his voice...but when I watching this video, I was thinking what everyone else was thinking.....he CANNOT dance! Looked like he was ripping off some of MJs moves and what in God's name is he doing at 1:30-1:32.

[lolligal2]

@tht kid can move close ur eyes and move with the beat

[TheMinards]

Love Johnny's pipes but damn his dancing was ROUGH. If you notice in the New Edition videos he was always buried, never a focus unless it was a well coreographed section. I saw him in concert with NE several times and his singing was always ON POINT but his dancing was, er, challenged....miss that voice, though

[Spiralls]

PAUSE AT 0:47 BUWAHAHHAHAHAAH THATS HIS WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FACE LOL

[satyricon55]

@adangme the video sucks....a parody of MJ.

[IRVINGTONTS]

shout to jonnie for bein gay b4 it was a fad lol

[wilwat9]

The dancing is funny but the version does not suck!!! Man you can workout and groove to this!! JG rocks!!!!!!!

[xMASSxDx187x]

dope shit ... he looks like MJ

[EBTerriers]

He looks like Sugar ray Robinson in this video lol

[patriots234]

wer my jackson folks at lol

[mark24402]

real music

[detriotman]

He just may, be talking a bout ediie murphy.

[teemad]

LMFAO @ all the dance comments! Yeah, dude definitely couldn't dance if he got forced by threat of violence... :P Like quite a few others in the RnB scene (Usher etc) his dancing was more pose at best than any real "move". But unlike the others, he had an incredible voice and it's in full force here.

[chuuwaayZ]

If this type of song was made now, they would just forgo the hidden sexual meaning and put "fuck you the right way" in the lyrics.

[electrictroy2010]

It was the early 90s

.

Everybody danced even people that didn't know how (like Cathy Dennis)

.

[bembry409]

You know you can sang when you gotta do the stank face....

[treyspr]

When I was a kid his dancing was awesome. Now it looks awful lol! Homie still one of the best singers alive though!

[ceeza314]

OH LAWD!!! His  dancing gets a big fat F... the song however is an A++++

this should be heard not seen.. why Johnny whyyyyyy... lmao

[slaveluna1]

Who cares about his dancing, he's a singer...that voice makes me melt every time :) Love you Johnny

[DaNumba1Rapper]

Yall needa quit hatin on his dancin. Yeah at times it's kinda embarassin, but I like it (no homo) he busts out some pretty nice moves too at times, like at 2:20

those faces though...lmao

[lukeloveslauraalways]

I think he is dancing his ass off in this vid. Love it!!

[underpaidpeach]

Johnny is a church dude. He came straight out of the choir stand. He didn't know anything about dancing. For those of you wh don't know, what the boy is doing is shouting lol! I remeber watching this at 10 thinking, Johnny catching the Holy Ghost instead of dance, poor baby lol. This song was and is great though.

[underpaidpeach]

@underpaidpeach excuse the typos please, a bit tired lol

[furrylucy]

He totally made this up as he went along. he looks like he is gonna fall down thru most of this video. 3:30 is my fav

[furrylucy]

He totally made this up as he went along. he looks like he is gonna fall down thru most of this video.

[DatingGames2010]

I think Johnny was making this shyt up as he went along....LOL

But don't trip, Johnny was the effin MAN!!! New Edition was one of the only groups where ALL of the members had huge success after they went their separate ways!!!

[ibreathemusic81]

@DatingGames2010 lol funny, but yea I was thinking the same thing New Edition was like the only group that had all of their members do well solo

[719kai719]

My dad gave me this cassette! Love this song!

[eatnray]

This is actually a bad jam...  rubs you the right way.. ahem.. but the dancing is funny as hell.. like some joker down at the 80's night disco.. funny stuff!

[719kai719]

@eatnray lmao

[therealjasonwhite]

This track had all the hooks back in the day. Should have done better in the U.K.!

[missbham205]

Damn, he's a worse dancer than Keith Sweat is in that "Don't Stop the Love" video.

WTF is he doing at 1:51? Looks like some type of windshield wiper move!

[76BomberGeez]

@missbham205 correction thats the Johnny Gill wax on wax offn lol

[missbham205]

@76BomberGeez LOL

[9cgx]

@missbham205 you just mad cuz you cant do it hahaha. for real that move was dope and keith sweat had soul girl. both dance with a flow... try it some time just move with the music. then criticize.

[missbham205]

@9cgx I am a fan of both of these artists, especially Keith Sweat. You're sitting here saying this stuff as if I hate them or something. My comment was simply a joke! And I have do have freedom of speech, so I can criticize and state my opinion all I want!

[powerman2g]

@missbham205 You are certainly free to have your opinion. I never really looked at the dancing as unusual until I realized how crazy it looked. Johnny even admits he's not a dancer. This video proves it.HAHA!

[sdeschanel1]

@missbham205 what? he's rubbing you the right way! that's how it was done back in the day - where were you and @FGwriter ? JG goes hard man! ( it is kinda funny now tho ;-D )

[iskateboardonaboard]

@missbham205 back in the day he was jamming!

[jparri40]

@missbham205 lmao



[InLoVeWiThLaNgStOn]

@missbham205 StopBeing A Hater, Those Dance Moves Were Bomb When I Was A Kid .

[missbham205]

@InLoVeWiThLaNgStOn

Why am I considered a hater just because I say something you don't agree with?

I am far from hating on Johnny Gill, and I could care less how good those dance moves were when you were a kid. I don't even know why you felt the need to tell me that.

[InLoVeWiThLaNgStOn]

@missbham205 Well I Felt I Needed To Tell You That Because Obviously You Know Nothing About Good Old School Dancing

Your Considered A Hater Because You Said DAMN Hes A Worse Dancer Then Keith Sweat Which Is Dissing The Both Of Them, I Suggest You Stop Being Such A Big Ass Hater Grow Up And Stop Being Childish . You May Not Be Hating On Him But Your Hating On His Dance Moves . Good Day .

[Shirma82]

Why did this man had to die? I remember this tune way back in the day. I miss him!

[gothamknight100]

@Shirma82 Johnny Gill is not dead he's at the Indiana Black Expo June 17-19 2011

[719kai719]

@Shirma82 He is not dead! Wrong artist hun!

[Shirma82]

Why did this man had to die? I remember this tune  way back in the day

[ceeza314]

please stop dancing johnny .... this song however will forever be THE JAM!!

[evanglillianlloyd]

boy this video takes me back to jr high fingervwaves bamboo earings and cross colors

[akerockstar]

New Jack!

johnny needs to stick with the choreogra
