[cheryl95622]

You have picked up a brand new fan. I love it when an artist like you have not forgotten the fans that enjoy wonderful soulful music like this. I have been telling everyone that I know about your new album and the motown feel of it and I hope to hear more music like this from you. Thank you so much for your talent. Can't wait to see you if you come to Nashville Tennessee. My birthday is November 21 and would love to see your performance. Wonderful talent!!!!! Thanks for a great sound.

[erocablok]

He looks the same from tony toni tone days. This guy doesnt age.

[iluvrachellef]

My man is a true musician & its a good & its a good cd,love u bruh!!BTW he is 43yrs old!!

[doob234]

yeah, but thats a good thing that he doesn't look 43, he look like he did in the 90s and he doesn't act 43. It really doesn't feel like he is 43. He looks like a baby. With a baby face

[Goose943765]

i love this man

[wondiefive]

"The Way I See It", one of the most gangsta R&B albums I've ever heard in my ENTIRE LIFE. Definitely in my top 3. I got my parents hooked on it.

[AcousticUplift]

Raphael, a perennial crush of mine with his ulgy-beautiful brand of good looking. Consummate musician too...

[londyjamel]

we do like your little weird self lol do what you do, honey. we appreciate you, saadiq. since we all thought your name was tony.

[OrgPradaBoyz]

I AM A FAN

[AnnePori]

Me too :-)

[Musiholic2286]

Recycle those classic tunes Saadiq!!! You are a true artist!! Speak to these young male crooners, help guide them and bring REAL R&B BACK!!!!!!!!

[Altogirl1000]

Raheal is the dude so glad he back out, i had the huges crush on him. love the voice, go.. head.....

[SABRINAJS]

oh wow this is now im really getting a good view at him and he's CUTE !

[chocolatevogue23]

he is so sexy, he's a man , man without the extra garbage that these middle age /young guys are doing. Does saggung and thuggin make you manly or sexy? what happened to men ?

[baggyness]

Just saw Raphael in Zurich, Switzerland and he truly is at a next level as a artist and performer to anyone else in soul music. Tight 3 minute soul bangers, tight band with energy to kill and showmanship allied to just damn good songs. Killer suit too!

[mayebella]

i love his speaking voice just as much as his singing voice. i love him in general

[RaelNYC]

So I can't have The Way I I See It

for free?

[rvanbeusekom]

nope, just buy it, it's worth every penny

[urheadonastick]

Damn hot chick alert at 2:00

[VIXEN187]

I Love His Smile!!!

[omitchell04]

Me 2. I love everythng on him! LOL

[QueenChoc]

He looks at least 32 not 42.

[whoseanb]

Are you saying raphael is 42?

[QueenChoc]

I did'nt knw how sexy this guy is...wow.

[Oaktownrob]

Consistently Brilliant! Thats Mr Saadiq. You sure cant say that about many artists

working today. Keep on pushing the music forward and upward with that bonafide Soul!

[blackPowerStick]

when is he working with D`angelo again

[bgoldrock]

I wish Raphael all the best with his new album! He's a genius -- and deserves much respect! So much talent; lovin' his new sound, too!

[redwalls76]

He has what it takes and It is time to fly. Thank you for making good music that I want to hear . Your CD is number one in my book. Stay strong and true to your music my brother.

[imbees2]

I hope that raphael looks at these notes from people. Cause we are the ones that make or break a song. Not being audacious, just being truthful.

[imbees2]

I love raphael in Ton y Tony Tony. He was the bomb in that, too. He's got it going on now. I think Raphael is one of the people that are playing new music. He's will listen to every song he sings. I was listening to the radio and heard his voice.... that was it for me. Raphael is someone I will always follow

[blackPowerStick]

ok i neva realised he was with them because its funny i thought he looked like 1of them i could`nt make out the face at the time and how funny it was saadique

[imbees2]

I love this song. Raphael is the bomb, he knows what's going on!

[imbees2]

I'm an oldie but goodie. I love this song, reminds me of the old days. Has the beat. The motown beat.  That's a good thing!!!!

[BIGBADLAMONT]

tell me how it went on the concert, with him, in toronto I'm very interested BIGBADLAMONT RAPHAEL SADIIG

[BIGBADLAMONT]

THIS IS THE MAN I SAW LAST NIGHT CONCERT AND NOW I HAVE FINALLY FOUND AN ARTIST OF TODAY I CAN TRUELY APPRECIATED WITH OLD SCKOOL SOUNDS I WAS BROUGHT UP ON definitely getting his cd BIGBAD LAMONT

[mayebella]

Im guessing it was good? Im gonna see him next month when he reaches Toronto...very excited, first time.

[dustee]

This, is the way I see it. This young man is making good music. Anytime a singer, rapper, performer can throw some *old school* sounds in their tracks is likely to be a hit.

To me it means that there is still a hunger for some old school R&B. Those greedy bastards in the recording industry wanted to get rid of R&B because everybody can't sing it. Todays artists all sound the same. Sad day, sad times for R&B.

[adriannaa19]

Raphael is 42.

[biyutch90]

lol niice i was just bout to let dustee know that...he still a cool cat though

[imdgyrl]

i know he is gorgeous!! is he married? if not omg!! he is gonna make somebody super happy!!

[omitchell04]

He's not married that I know of. I totally agree with u! LOL

[imdgyrl]

yea he dosen't have kids or a wife....I WANNA MARRY HIM!! LOL!! HIS MUSIC MAKES YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM!!

[omitchell04]

I know what u mean! He's adoreable and his voice is so sexy!!!

[play3t]

the brother is a leader. he ain't follow'n anyone. he's doing his own thing and do'n it well. 'the way i see it' is the best album, cd, downlowd, for 08 and i doubt anything in 09 will come close unless ray drops it

[omitchell04]

Your cousin's hot. :) You must have some really great genes in your family! He's gorgeous!!!

[capdeelite61]

I'm so rediscovering and loving myself some Raphael! Great album!!

[girlbritttneygirl]

I luv luv luv him!

[RichAF2008]

One of the best albums of 2008

[lingapop]

Jessssssssssssssssss awsome, great ,and so mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[tajmabruno]

Talented and gracious he is a superb artist

[rfgagnier]

I had the opportunity to meet the guy in his studio with one of my boys from Re-birth. Damn I wish I could direct one of those videos! He is as much a gentleman as much as he is a talent!

[BLUYEiii]

so sexy...extremely talented so glad he came back...callin is my fav...

[PhuckHue2]

Raphael is keeping R&B from becoming a total crapfest. If I hear Auto-Tune on another R&B tune..

[teeski02]

nothing but talent.hot hot hot

[rihannafentyfan4life]

awesome dude! very talented!
