Ghostwriter Lenni You Gotta Believe Music Video

[natigrohl]

Ghostwriter from the hood!! hahaha 

[jumpers500]

The Video Is Garbage & I'll say this on a deeper level: Don't & I mean don't watch mtv.

[berrygirl6]

it's crazy I haven't seen this in about 12 years, and I still remember the words to this song.

[AtotheDamn]

I REALLY wanted to make a video like this when I was 11.....what a tool. Still. A Fine Show.

[LogicLyfe]

Man, Ghostwritter is my all-time favorite show. I would be tuned into it, every Sunday. I was mad as hell, when they canceled the show. Years later i found out they didn't axed because of ratings, but because of a lack of funding.

[jiveturkey25]

@LogicLyfe Made sense. The show was on PBS!

[MCSF24]

totally stole aaliyahs style...

[wondiefive]

The only thing missing in this vid, are PaRappa the Rapper characters to give it a boost of street cred. XD

[LBoogie023]

wasn't there an asian one? or am i thinking of power rangers?

[prettypinkprincessxx]

@LBoogie023 ya there was her name is Tina...her and alex werent in the video

[dnb200]

each one teach one

[jezeniaaa]

" Boom shaka la ka Boom " - Jamal

[jezeniaaa]

" Boom shaka la ka Boom " - Jamal

[ListlessAgent]

This song was my shit when I was a kid. Nice to see it's still as good as I remember :)

[noodlechick90]

Wow Alexa Vega, looks like the girl who plays Lenni

[leeleelayla5]

man this bring back memory i use to love this show they need to put it back on syndication

[jeremygoldberg89]

Wow we really did look that bad in the 90s... yay for the flagrant racism too... jamal.... wow

[thebjm1967]

i used to be obsessed with this show when i was like 11 and 12. i always wondered what happened to the cast. we had a huge crush on alex!

[audreey07]

Lmfao ! At 2:15

[audreey07]

Lmfao wttf .

[PunkyBitch]

Oh my fucking God. Serious memories from my childhood. I saw this episode and became obsessed with this song, I used to sing it all the time!

Seriously, thanks for this. Such a flashback.

[tautietata]

OMG flashback to my preteen years! I so remember this. Loved this whole crew.

[karmendie]

Ahhh, Lenni! :)

Love this show!

[cateyedshorty]

They don't make kids' shows like this anymore. So much crap on TV now. When my husband and I have kids, they will be watching real TV on the Internet.

[cateyedshorty]

Who cares if the guy is gay?

[brandonferr1]

being born in 1999 i laugh soo hard at this

[dizzygemini86]

fuck the 90's!

[lizcarter35]

LOL - I remember thinking even then that it was odd that Lenni was dressed all ghetto!

[MzTJones80]

@lizcarter35

How ignorant??? I can't stand people who categorize others by the way they dress. Her clothes are more hip hop, yes. Something that you'd commonly see blacks wear, but just because blacks wear them doesn't automatically equals "ghetto." Just like having a 4.0 GPA doesn't equate to being white. Hell, I like to eat and cook Mexican food. I guess that means I act like a Mexican, huh? I guess you're still alive because it's illegal for someone to shoot you!

[thebeatschool]

Man, that is so bad that its AWESOME!

[goddessnoire]

this was so 90s!

[fallysfinest]

aww yeeah aww yeeah, YOU GOTTA BELIEVE!!! y did i have to remember this?!??! ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!

[aboutangelica]

boom chakalaka bOOm

[allieyouradork]

Ghost Writer<33333333333333

[twannifufu]

Still can't believe Hector was on Real World Philadelphia.

[beedyeye1]

I think this is when Ghostwriter jumped the shark

[cheezin]

Where's Alex and Tina???

[sailorearth2007]

@cheezin Tina had a family matter (I believe it was a wedding to go to) and Alex wasn't up to performing (didn't like that kind of thing)

this was so awesome

[wansaponataim]

hermoso

recuerdo cuando escribia en mi diario RALLY jaaaaaa

qe buenos tiempos

[croberts752]

I lllooovvvee this show and the character the Lennie is da bomb. I cannot believe that canel this show. It was the best and educated

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

@croberts752 the best and educated.......that's exactly why they had to cancel it! Lol! Actually, I heard something about lack of funding from "Viewers Like You" and me! LOL! Seriously that's what I heard the reason for cancellation because the actors were ready to shoot for their next season

I can't get over how as much as I've heard the commercial, I found out Blaze is the voice behind the Swiffer Wetjet commericals!

[raynarayskye]

Whatever happened to these kids?

[adejobi1000]

AW YEAH AW YEAH

YOU GOTTA BELIEVE

[prosperabovehaters]

i miss this show...they never even did a reunion...anyway check out will from the real world philadelphia.

[Jessili612]

'Each one, Teach one?' I always knew Lenni was a Five Percenter!

[mizzilene]

for some reason this song came into mind, and got stuck in my head all day.

[MrChance18]

BOOM-SHAKA-LAKA-BOOOOM!!!! XD

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

@MrChance18 YES!!! That tickles me to this day! I miss this show. :)

[celestial81186]

I like the little Kid n' Play move at 1:50

[tkayube]

I think I had a secret crush on Lenni when I was really young. But I didn't even know what it was then.

[nUo4life]

1:33 inner homo coming out..

[lina107]

lol! i see i'm not the only one who thought he looked a little gay doing that xD

[m4rco]

lol woww

[llea1]

@nUo4life hahahaha

[MzTJones80]

@nUo4life

LMAO! Well, actually, the guy who plays Hector IS gay. I read about him not too long ago on another site.

[shysfinest]

@MzTJones80 You're right.He was a cast member on the Real World a few years back and he talked about being on the show.And he admitted that hes gay.

[dakid52990]

@nUo4life lmfaooo yeah he's really flaming i believe

[The01kic]

@nUo4life lol its funny cuz he's gay!

[ejwalker177]

I miss being a kid

[EM455]

[baalynduh]

[puetohoi]

2:17 oh hell no he did not just do that

[SouthOx]

[dudemonkeydan]

I thought the song needed to be 4 mins long before they made a video. whoops.

[sailorearth2007]

These were the days....boy would this have been fun to be a part of.....

[RICHn06]

i loved the show.. so much

[DiaMondIce2k8]

in grade 5 this use to be my show! my friends and I use to wear ghostwriter pens around are necks! i loved this song too.

[KnoT1me]

I luv this video...it shows the heavy influence of hip hop in the 90s, when hip hop used to be mad positive & influential. Also hence the the colors of that time, red ..green..and black. Man, luv those dayz!!

[whash03]

Lenni looks like a freaking hood rat

[piefacegurl4ever]

I love this video and show!! Gaby was my favorite. Lenni would be a close 2nd.

[MurderMilitiaChannel]

this just popped into while I was blazing...can't believe I still remember the whole chorus!

"Aww yeah aww yeah!" lmao

[VintageLefty]

Ah, why does this look like something from my 5th grade health class?! I loooove this show; it's the whole reason I'm a writer.

[saugagirl83]

I LOVED this episode! Lenni was my favorite character on the show!

[21mazy]

oh yeah oh yeah you gotta believe!! lmfao!!!! I love Jamal!!!

[seeChattrisse]

I used to LOVE this show!! Oh, and especially this episode . . . now it looks hilariously dated, but thanks for the memories!!

"Boom-shakalaka-booooooom" don't kill me lol

.C.h.a.t.t.r.i.s.s.e.

[thehardcore1]

I wonder if she actually went on to be a singer

[MNEP88]

Jamal rules!

[fskkwebshowsljh]

omg i remember singing that song constantly wen in primary school lol we loved ghost writer we loved the show but we had to keep a diary of it which we hated doing cos u couldnt listen u were writing i still have my diary!!!!!!!!!!

[eleeaune]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!

XD

[SurrealDeal02]

this has nothing on saved by the bell

[JayCroix]

Mem-o-ries!!!!! I used to miss church just to watch this show. LOL. I remember meeting "Jamal" YEARS ago and he was shocked that I knew the storylines and everything. LOL. Yes, they don't make kids shows like this anymore.

[Robdeltonie]

When did you meet "Jamal" (I assume the actor who portrays him, Sheldon Turnipseed)? Were you the grand prize winner of that Ghostwriter contest? (I know there was one because a promotion for it on a Ghostwriter tape at my local Public Library.)

[GreatAuntCayce]

Did you get to meet Blaze Berdahl to and if so what's she like in real life?

[shadyshane212000]

I read all the books, and watched Ghostwriter all the time.

[shadyshane212000]

I read every Ghostwriter book and saw every episode, I used to love the show

[ttmarie03]

OMG hahaha memories! i loooved ghostwriters

[Yezeta]

ohw lenni was my favorite....i used to play with my friends the ghostwriter at school...lmao....we even had our notebooks and pens for the cases...xDD

damn, i wish nick at nite airs this...soo good...xD

[mrs9thwonder]

wow. nostalgic. Ghostwriter was the shiiiit. They just don't make kids shows like they used to.

[computergamer888]

Does anyone know where I could possibly buy the show? I loved it also

[rodriknot]

Blaze!!

[Kikey16]

Written by Cheryl 'Salt' James.... Get it Lenny!!

[Sophierocks008]

i like the never cant wont part BOOM SHACKA LACKA BOOM

[acarmyofone]

BEST. MUSIC. VIDEO. EVER!!!!!!!!

[MrTruth10]

Gaby, And Lenni were very cute kids. the music for this show may have been corny but there are alot of artists today who couldn't hold a candle to that kid and they have record deals.

[omgSHMAYLERZ]

OMG in primary 7, my teacher made us watch these and we couldn't stop! we always made him put more on :D gosh, this brings back memories!

[PaisleyVixen69]

BOOM SHACKA LACKA BOOM!Lmao

ha ha luv this show..i useto want to dress like lenni.she had the most intresting outfits..Aladdin lmao

[msbkchick]

LOL ahh memories! I absolutely loved this show when I was a kid. LOL he had to come with the "BOOM SHACKA LACKA BOOM!!!" at the end.

[alrober1906]

Yes. Yes. Yes. I remember Ghostwriter. I loved this show to death. I remember writing my on song around this time when I saw the way she wrote this song. Yes cheesy, but hey, I was young. They don't make shows like this anymore.  Hannah Montana has nothing on this show.

[NuwaniDeNubianLadyIE]

yup i remember wantiing to rap just like her and raven and I use to cut of the words in boxes just like lenni did. You right they don't make shows like that no more that encourage kids to write all these kids nowadays are dance videos tryna be pimp or video girl.

respek

[Miracle490d]

@alrober1906 I was just about to write that. I loved this show and remembered that song. I don't know why her music never took off like Hannah. Hannah doesn't sing about anything cool like friendship and believing in yourself much. This girl would've been a much better role model. If you got the gift for words, imagination, and drive; there's nothing cheesy about writing. I got it.

[410n5o]

haha i remember this video, so funny i loved it at that time, mayteana is so hot hahaha

[sonyamortal]

where's rob?? :S

[yellowsharpie16]

He was off the show by then, I think Hector replaced him.

[sailorearth2007]

This is such a great song...so inspirational....

[KinshipWAMBaGhanaba]

OMG...this was the song for me. This song made me like rap for reals. As a new immigrant in America, this show did it for me back in the day

[jj201]

aww yeah aww yeah, you got to believe!

:D

true say sister, spread the positive message!

damn, what happened to these 90's shows. they were so uplifting, educational, and fun at the same time! :D

god bless the 90's!

[Lamp1n]

boom shucka lucka boom!

[DAblackdahliamurder]

Goddamn catchy chorus hook! Why did JAMAL have to fire up that MODEM and lock GHOSTWRITER in the old internet haha.

[noxidleinahtan]

I've had this stuck in my head for the last 15 years

[DragonHill87]

I remember this was my favorite song for a while. I put my tape player against the tv, and pressed record. If I could go back in time, I'd slap myself across the face and take the tape away.

[neqquah]

LOL I did the same thing

[myenmoni]

aww yeah aww yeah ya gotta believe, I LIVED for this show Wish they would put it out on DVD.

[tiggerlily619]

omg thanks so much for the video!

[yellafella05]

omg, i'm getting old!!!

[ghettobama]

OMG thank god for youtube. Been looking for this video for ages! I remember I taped this song off the tv to listen to it on my walkman. AW YEAH AW YEAH!!

[poutaine]

Lenni is totally Six LeMuere from Blossom. Aw yeah aw yeah!

[0SimplyUnperfect0]

Wow...i totally miss ghostwriter!<3333

[weasley19]

[agustinceretti]

[jaz4urmr]

[kazooie1404]

Hola alguien tiene este video en español?

[geenzc]

OMG! This show was shit! This was a must for me to watch every Sunday. It's corny ass hell watching it now though. WOW!!

[nataschaafsma]

The sad thing is that I was actually able to sing along with this. It's been well over a decade since I watched this show, but I remembered almost all the words!

[mdtamika]

I feel the same way. I know the lyrics of this song, and it has been more than a decade. I was waiting for Jamal to see the boom shaka laka boom. I love that part!

[Moshid88]

I was rapping almost all of the words too!!! YOUR NOT ALONE! LOL

[irisbustos]

don´t you have the latin version? =OO

pleaaaassee!

[applesauce2100]

[Lisaluv1]

[silverdaz27]

[stardustL12]

best show ever, good ol' times :P

[nancyismyname]

God, I loved this show (this and Sailor moon)! I can't believe I actually knew the words to this songs by heart. Serious throwback.... I wonder what they're up to these days. I know I saw the guy who played Hector (Willie) on The Real World.

[trixnkix637]

Lenni (blaze Berdahl) is a successful voice actor.. the others I don't know

[americansongstress]

I loved Ghostwriter. That was my show. But the best part is that my cousin got married a couple of years ago. His new brother in law------Jamal!!!!!

[transfan1988]

No, simplemente es fea. En serio, bien fea.

Y la otra estúpida se murio en un accidente en el mar.

[landomagicus25]

hey alguien sabe si las actrizes interpretaron a Gabi o a Lenny aun siguen solteras o esbeltas?

[transfan1988]

No, la latina es horrible y la otra creo que se murio.

[landomagicus25]

por que ?

engordo o que fregados?

y de que se murio mi amada Lenni?

[Jassy1804]

omg i wish they never took ghostwriter off because this was my show back in the day and i still love it

[Goobian]

Anybody around me that says Aww yeah it reminds me of this song. I loved this show when I was in 4-6th grade.

[mrsdicaprio22]

OMFG! I remember those kids and the show! OMFG! I can't believe it's been almost 20 yrs since this show was on tv! OMFG! i feel old! I wonder if they have this on dvd. What ever happened to all of those kids? Where are they now and what are they doing with their lives roght now? Does anyone know? I'm curious. I LOVE Ghostwriter!

[ShinbiBelldandy]

It's been a while since I read their bios but I know the girls who played Lenni, Gabi (the first girl, not the second) & Tina went to college, which is excellent! I think a few of them continued to act as well. Try looking up the show on wikipedia! =)

[mrsdicaprio22]

ShinbiBelldandy, Oh wow that's excellent that the girls whent to college:) That's also great a few of them continued to act as well:) Yeah I'm going to look up their bios on wikipedia. Thanks:)

[Kajual525]

BOOM-SHAKALA-BOOM...The only line given to jamal ...lmaoo...I wonder what race the script writers are...anyways it gave me a good laugh ...BOOM-SHAKALA-BOOM

[Kevindl1985]

My guess is the writers were in thier 40's and tried to sound hip...hence the 12 year old white girl rapping lol. I used to love this show.

[pippigladstone]

this needs to be in a tv carnage tape.

[yeremizun]

is great see they guys again i live in cali colombia but i love so munch your program i soed all the season but yerars ago because in my country dont see your program but i think you're amazing congratulations...

[prosperabovehaters]

wasn't that dude dancing hector from the real world philadelphia?

[jeffm1083]

Yeah

[eomm88]

Hay muchos chicos sin oportunidades de que les pregunten todas sus verdades y que andan diciendo que no tienen valor acaba con eso y mandalo bien lejos Si tienes algo en mente expresalo de frente y demuestrale al montón que tu tienes la razón Debes saber de donde vienes y también a donde iras Y con el que como cuando donde también estarás Debes Creer el cielo alcanzar, Debes creer deja tu alma volar Debes creer y tu camino seguir Y tus sueños se harán realidad, algún día

[eomm88]

Oh si oh si, tu debes creer (Sho sho)

Oh si oh si, tu debes creer (vamos hazlo ya)

Si el obstáculo parece difícil de pasar

lo debes tu vencer y volver a comenzar

cuando tengas un tropiezo y te salgas del camino

busca siempre esa luz que ilumine tu destino

.

.

Lo importante no es dinero es buscar lo espiritual

Paz, amor, bondad eso debes dar

[VidenTheColdOne]

lowl. This is from the episode "Don't Stop The Music" They stated in the episode that ghostwriter wanted to be in the music video too, but that nobody would be able to see him. Ghostwriter was viewable only to the TV audience and the team, but not to anyone who might be watching the video.

Best show ever!

[Mistletosy]

It's got ZIZZ! lmao

[liljammydodger]

my friend thoughth this show was crap i loved it !!!!!ghostwriter

[InSolitaryRuin]

LMAO this song still gets stuck in my head once in a while.

Man I miss this show

[aussiecan]

If this is a real MTV video, wouldn't the audience be wondering what the fuck this floating ball flying around is? Only the Ghostwriter team can see this fucking ghost, but those rules change for a music video? Ah, PBS....

[Goobian]

They are the only ones that can see ghostwriter. No one else can see him in the music video other then them. Even when he is recorded. But yeah there are so many ridiculous loopholes to the plot.

[solidsho]

I used to think Lenni was so hot.

[PrescottValleyMan]

SHE PROBABLY STILL IS

[TheNormalGirl]

I love this song!!!! oh yeah oh yeah... great memoeries

[Bennome]

1:19 Lenni is Sooo 90s in style. reminds me of something Aalyiah or DaBrat would wear.

[disneysongtape]

[REPEAT CHORUS]

outro

Aw yeah, aw yeah - You Gotta Believe

Aw yeah, aw yeah - You Gotta Believe

(Boom shaka laka BOOM!)

Aw yeah, aw yeah - You Gotta Believe

Aw yeah, aw yeah - You Gotta Believe!!!!

THE END

[disneysongtape]

YOU GOTTA BELIEVE" (end of song)

It's not how much you own

But what you've got inside

Knowledge, dignity, self-respect, pride

[disneysongtape]

test

[baileelduende]

i'm loving lenny's flow in this song...keep on keepin' on, lol

[liljammydodger]

omg!! i remember this show it was da BEST Ghostwriter word... anywhere when jamal says bom shack alacka i think he kind of ruins it but my cozins teacher has some of them on video and watchs them after a practise paper i 4got about this song but its the BEST!

[yungi12]

i feel kinda embarrassed that i ACTUALLY loved this show.. but damn. it was awesome

[alienkid]

blaze was sofa king hot! I wish she still acted

[Cozarjr]

I have the first 4 episodes on VHS, they stopped releasing them after that. But if anyone hears of them releasing them on DVD I'd love to know.

[cubanitaa]

OMG thank u soo much. I loved this show and song. kinda corny but so cute. We need more of these kinds of shows. I used to watch this every sunday. memories!! im 27 now :)

[jac51182]

I luv this show!!!.It is still the best show to ever come on public television.I wish they would put all the episodes out on DVD or VHS already.I would totally buy them!!!!.Does anyone have any whole episodes on site?.

[bubblinbrownsugar616]
