Ohhhhhhh. They look great and sound awesome. The ones who disliked this video are crazy. They don't know real music! It could bite them in the ass and they still would be clueless.
I'm sorry, Troop is OK; But if it isn't broken don't try 2 fix it. Classics shouldn't be Touch! Because they're Gold, M.J had more soul in it, much Smoother voice especially hitting those high notes, perfect pitch. When he sings Woooh.. my heart melts, Troop knew they had a hit when they covered it because it's a Beautiful & Sexy song. I only wish MJ. had released it back in the day, like so many other PRICELESS Gems they didn't push 4. There's no Music like old school MUSIC, Good Days & Times.
I am an idiot-- i did not even know this was a remake-- when I was a youngster growing up-- I saw Jackson 5 version of this a few weeks ago-- Great-- But Troop did a great job remaking it.
I love this song...my old boyfriend from high school told me that when this remake came out back then it reminded him of me...awwww! Now I'm finding out 20 years later...lol!!! Reunions can really throw u off...love him!
they were so cute.my son was in high shool when this came out.he played it every morning before school.i think he was in love.lol.i think every teen loved it.i liked it too. nice song.
When I see these bruhs hair... it prevents me from getting a fad haircut like these brothas gettin mohawks now. In like 5 years they're gonna get clowned HARD!
I'm an '80s baby and all i would listen to was Troop's music...I had a HUGE crush on Allen even though I was about 9 years old.....he always had those sleepy eyes...miss those days! My kids LOVE Troop everytime they hear their music...proof that good classic music never gets old! Still in love is my jam...me and my hubby still slow dance to that! :)
The lyrics in this song seem too young for this group. They look so much older than what the song describes. I think of High Schoolers or even middle schoolers lol. Anyways, their version is still really good.
Oh WOW...I remember this...I have this performance on VHS somewhere. En Vogue was the other featured group in this BET concert series. I loved both groups back then... Still love their songs today..
yeah but think about the people that have done nothing to spread this to their kids along with core values and this is what you get today... rappers talkin about sex and everything... its kinda our fault
This was when all of the singers actually knew how to sing. If there was one who did not believe me he made up for it in others ways like rapping,writing, instruments, producing and REAL image. Unlike today all you have to have is a six pack and confidence.
I can't get over that opening dance move, lmao...and those Dick Tracey suits are atrocious. Nevertheless, this is one of my favorite early 90s R&B joints!
This was before the "boy bands" had to wear "ear pieces to hear the harmony! HAHAHA! F UCK THE CRAPPY R&B OF TODAY! HAHAHA! (Not really....they were all inspired by this stuff!)
Yes this is ALLEN MCNEIL from the R&B group TROOP. I do have a album out on CDBABY called HYBERNATION. Check me out on myspace, twitter, itunes, cduniverse, cdbaby and all affiliates. Thanks for your support. Remember real supporters buy music!!!
Also look for Mr. AL MAC/ALLEN MCNEIL on PUREVOLUME, LAST FM and OURSTAGE
If you love TROOP, you will love Allen McNeil aka Mr. AL MAC one of the lead singers of TROOP's new album Hybernation. If you haven't heard it yet check for it online. It is the sound of TROOP you love. Stay tuned!!!
@MRSSPECBLUESMITH...it was for sure a 2 girl 2 guy group...their first single was a song that had a positive twist to it...their 2nd single was a slow song that sounded more like a duet...they had 1 or 2 performances at the donny simpson show(but who didnt perform there?...lol)....ugh!!
does anyone remember a rnb group that consisted of i think 2 ladies and 2 or 3 guys...they were from philly i think...they had 1 or 2 hit singles and a very colorful album cover, lol...cant think of the group off the top of my head, ugh!!!
@jumpinjerseystudios ...you're right!!...i remember a song from them and the guy who rapped in the last verse said something of a small change...they had a nice slow song too in their album sorta like a duet...thank you so much for refreshing my memory....geez, that was about 20 years ago when they came out=)
i would hate to see this song be remade again with all the crap groups that are out there....i wasnt even born when jackson 5 was around, lol....but i was in 6th or 7th grade when this came in...and along with other groups like riff, guy, special generation, jodeci, bbd...these groups had genuinly nice people singing these songs....it was gangsta rap that killed this new jack swing era of great music...then later on up to now rnb groups gotta have some rapper on the 3rd verse or sumthin
@FroSoFoxy Troop made this song a hit! I remember when they where on BET and Donnie didn't even know it was a Jackson five song. Steve Rusell said, Michael heard there version and liked it! Video Soul yall!!!!
This is one of those groups where every member sounded like the lead singer.Each one of those guys could have been a solo artist.Hands down of the best singing groups around.
These guys are good but I like B5 version of this better they can really sing if you don't believe me look up some videos of them harmonizing I recomend the song no one else.
oh man michael jackson should have performed this in his concerts. also with the brothers. it was a great song that was underrated til Troop made it bigger. Michael Jackson had a lot more in his bag other than Billie Jean, Bad etc....
Michael sang the heck out of this song back in the day. TROOP did an excellent job remaking it. Man I miss these cats. Those dance moves were too sexy and loved the way they sang. Bring back the old skool groups like Silk, New Edition, Riff, Az Yet, B2Men...
and in 00's wit b5! look evn thought i am a HUGE b5 and jackson 5 fan troop did this song better hands down, i luved b5's version but troop was better, and ABSOLUTELY no disrespect 2 the jackson 5 though
Troop's version is better even though I am a huge MJ fan and I always love to hear Michael sing anything! They really did this song better they drew it out and their vocals are stronger. When J5 recorded MJs voice was changing and was sort of in between not as strong as these boys but not his adult voice yet, but still good though.
Of course we think this version is better because this is what we probably grew up with. I just heard the J5 version and had no clue that they did it first.
i never knew dat j5 originally sang dis song i went an listened to j5 sing it it was kool but troop version is way better then j5's version no disrespect to dem but troop made it a hit in the 90's i love wen troop sang it b5 was was kool also but troops version was the best hands down
no1 does it better den j5 sorry but dis version is ALOT better den b5-dey completely SUCKED.Did u see dem tryin 2 sing on 106 & park?O gosh,I had to cover my ears.
I don't really like this version. J5 version will always be the best because Michael sang it so beautifully. Everyone knows that no one can top Michael Jackson!
Ive realized Michael sung the hell out of this song,and Troop did well,who's singing the lead for them?But anyway Michael sung the hell out of this song,I loved his vocals.
I love TROOP they are underrated and they still tour w/ new solo music and together I cant wait until they come to my city I will be there FRONT ROW CENTER!!!
Troop did an excellent remake of the song. B5-butchered it. I will always love the Jackson 5 version though better for the simple fact that Michael sung the lead song and his voice was so beautiful and pure and he sung it from the bottom of his heart. and it had the more 70's soul sound to it. and to the Csway i agree. they should have went on the BET awards and sung the song. would have been nice to have seen that
It would have been nice to see them at the BET awards performing this song. Maybe when there is real tribute to Michael, these gentlemen would be called to perform this single. That would be nice.
yall ALL need to download the Jackson Family music archive & listen to it. The Jackson 5 are the original singers of this song as well as "Ready Or Not, Gonna Find You" by Lauren Hill & an assload of other songs by todays artist...
Actually, The delfonics were the original group to perform Ready or Not. But I agree that people need to dig into the J5 collection as well as other artists they were influenced by.
And to the other folks, even though I think J5's "All I do" is the best, Troop did the song justice. Let's not forget., J5 did their fair share of covers.
LOL. Who gave me a thumbs down? Everything I said was fact except for the opinion, and it was just that.
I came back to watch the performance again and discover a thumbs down, people will do that for anything. Which almost makes me wish youtube never started it.
B5 are only one hit wonders because Diddy doesn't know how to promote his artists. They have the talent, and they can dance on top of that but they didn't get the promotion they deserved. Diddy is really more known for taking other artists' beats and just remixing them for his newer artists or either sampling part of a song from someone for example like Aaliyah, Earth Wind and Fire people of that calibre. But this version is good too, so is B5's.
I think it's cool that you guys redid this song but you did whore it up with the moves, not my taste but to each his own. just don't forget that the jackson 5 are the original holders to the tune and they did it with such grace*
In hopes to put this to rest. TROOP always let it be known that this was a cover of the Jackson 5 original recording. Check my video posting of it them on Arsenio stating just that at the end. Also Michael & Janet told TROOP in person that they loved their version. So did a lot of fans because it was a b-side record that TROOP took to number one. So lets not divide & pay homage & respect to the Jacksons. In case you are wondering I know TROOP & work with Allen McNeil. All versions are nice.
I think it is cool that 3 generations have been able to enjoy this song. First, the Jackson 5 made it a classic in the 70's then Troop continued to rock it with a smoother beat,and the last group was B5 did a little something with it. I personally like the Jackson 5 and Troops version, but that is because I was a little girl in the 70's, and my late teens with the Troop in the 90's version(which I remember the most).
i think it's great that each generation got to experience this wonderful song..i like the jackson five's version and love troops version..i won't discount B5's(i'm not young)..if it's great music it shouldn't matter when it was recorded long as the artist is talented.saying that B5's is the worst lollllll
Thanks so much for posting this I recorded this when it aired and played it somuch til the tape popped. I was so disappointed and since BET has changed so much I new I would never see it again, surfing uTUBE tonite made my night thanks agian I love this group, bes t songs to perform 2
I love this song. It reminds me of my first "boyfriend", puppy love. It was innocent.

I don't really like this version. J5 version will always be the best because Michael sang it so beautifully. Everyone knows that no one can top Michael Jackson!

I grew up on this version. Just discovered J5's version which is now my favorite. MJ was phenomenal on the vocals.

Troop did an excellent remake of the song. B5-butchered it. I will always love the Jackson 5 version though better for the simple fact that Michael sung the lead song and his voice was so beautiful and pure and he sung it from the bottom of his heart. and it had the more 70's soul sound to it. and to the Csway i agree. they should have went on the BET awards and sung the song. would have been nice to have seen that

Definately a Jackson 5 song, but O.K.
B5 && Troop need to go somewhere,
J5 is the original.

It would have been nice to see them at the BET awards performing this song. Maybe when there is real tribute to Michael, these gentlemen would be called to perform this single. That would be nice.

yall ALL need to download the Jackson Family music archive & listen to it. The Jackson 5 are the original singers of this song as well as "Ready Or Not, Gonna Find You" by Lauren Hill & an assload of other songs by todays artist...

Actually, The delfonics were the original group to perform Ready or Not. But I agree that people need to dig into the J5 collection as well as other artists they were influenced by.
And to the other folks, even though I think J5's "All I do" is the best, Troop did the song justice. Let's not forget., J5 did their fair share of covers.

LOL. Who gave me a thumbs down? Everything I said was fact except for the opinion, and it was just that.
I came back to watch the performance again and discover a thumbs down, people will do that for anything. Which almost makes me wish youtube never started it.

He is cocky though. But to be honest I'm not even that into him, I just love that picture of him.

B5 are only one hit wonders because Diddy doesn't know how to promote his artists. They have the talent, and they can dance on top of that but they didn't get the promotion they deserved. Diddy is really more known for taking other artists' beats and just remixing them for his newer artists or either sampling part of a song from someone for example like Aaliyah, Earth Wind and Fire people of that calibre. But this version is good too, so is B5's.
MidwestFemcee765 2 years ago 3
I agree! Jackson 5 has the best version over those other 2 1 hit wonders.

I think it's cool that you guys redid this song but you did whore it up with the moves, not my taste but to each his own. just don't forget that the jackson 5 are the original holders to the tune and they did it with such grace*

TRoop and B5 some COPYCATs....CUZ JACKSON 5 ARE THE ORIGINAL CREATORS of THIS SONG AND THEY HAVE THE BEST VERSION!!!! RIP M.JACKSON!!!!
999mimi 2 years ago
In hopes to put this to rest. TROOP always let it be known that this was a cover of the Jackson 5 original recording. Check my video posting of it them on Arsenio stating just that at the end. Also Michael & Janet told TROOP in person that they loved their version. So did a lot of fans because it was a b-side record that TROOP took to number one. So lets not divide & pay homage & respect to the Jacksons. In case you are wondering I know TROOP & work with Allen McNeil. All versions are nice.

you know obdiane, you are right. people should just enjoy the soul of the music.
Bigjuice1979 2 years ago
I think it is cool that 3 generations have been able to enjoy this song. First, the Jackson 5 made it a classic in the 70's then Troop continued to rock it with a smoother beat,and the last group was B5 did a little something with it. I personally like the Jackson 5 and Troops version, but that is because I was a little girl in the 70's, and my late teens with the Troop in the 90's version(which I remember the most).
obdiane 2 years ago 2
I wish people would just enjoy the soul of the music,and stop fight over which was better version. God Bless...
obdiane 2 years ago 2
i think it's great that each generation got to experience this wonderful song..i like the jackson five's version and love troops version..i won't discount B5's(i'm not young)..if it's great music it shouldn't matter when it was recorded long as the artist is talented.saying that B5's is the worst lollllll
