I am a big 80's music lover and this is how I want to remember this song! That BET shit was so disappointing! Cherelle had to carry the song and why they got them giving wiz an award! Alex you still my boy but the drugs have caught up to you!
Who cares about the supposed bad performance on soul train. They have had 25 great years. Screw u haters who even want to bring that up! Str8 FU! Go Alex!
What a relief! This is much better than that train wreck of a performance they had of this song on The 2011 BET Awards! If they ever do it live again, I hope they put on the CD and lip-synch to the song because neither seems to be what they used to be vocally.
@Junkay2 I agree with you. I saw the BET Awards and they should have 'lip sync'd' it. Alexander really looks like a shell of his old self. The way he looks should be a lesson to all those folks, whether they are entertainers, athletes or 'hard workin' folks: LEAVE THAT SHIT ALONE!!! It will make you 'null and void.'
@eyesley I just watched a repeat of that show and it was sad to see how drugs messed Alexander up. It sounded like he was still mad at prince for not putting up with his crap back in the day. If i understood the story correctly, he came in the door making demands and Prince wasn't having it..
Two of the greatest live performers. Most artists in the 80s used lipsyncing (let's be honest here) and it's a treat to find an 80s video with an artist actually singing.
Saw Alexander live in London. Dude was one of the best live id ever heard, and i've seen Joe live, Craig David, mark morrisson, some of the best live RnB vocalists
I was recently in London with my parents. As my Father decided to put in his favorite Alexander O'neal album, I look out the window´, and say "Hey that dude looks just like Alexander O'neal but really old". My Mother opens the window, peaks her head out, goes fricking crazy, my dad stops the car including all traffic, they both jump out the car and run to Alexander O'neal like teenagers again. Now we have like forty pictures of him, and I have to say, he's still a good looking man...
Yea he sung the shit out this. i put him in the same category vocally as Luther. Such an effortless performance. One of the last of a dying breed. So classy to. not all oversexed like some of the performers today theyd be simulating sex. Its too much for me and im only 30!
I got hit by a car that year~lol i was 13. that how i remember this hit. I got ran over on Chicagos Westside. North Ave and Central. By Davinci Manor~ Stand up!
I remember this song! 1986, I believe..Middle school memories! Lol!..Never on Sunday, Monday's too soon, Tuesday/Wednesday, just won't do...Thursday/Friday, the weekend begins, but our Saturday Love, will never end...Suga, Suga! Lol!
Man i love Alexander O'Neal thats one of the best Rnb soul singers of all times to me and no can tell me diffrent. I have all his records and i mean records old skool lol.
You know this is what i miss from music lol.. seeing if the artist could sing "live" like the recording... I use to live to watch live performances just for that...Now its about dancing and being slutty....
