Deborah Cox & Tamia (RARE) Same Script, Different Cast

[milyundlrsmile]

Whitney couldn't dare perform this now, next to Deborah Cox.

[lyricalkismet]

I disagree with those saying that Tamia's voice lacks the power needed for this song. While she's not a Deborah or Whitney (just a fact; Tamia is one of my favorite artists), I do think Tamia's voice adds some realism to the song. In the original version, it sounds like two equals facing off; here, Deborah is a woman who's been through it giving advice to a less experienced woman who needs the advice, but is too young and stubborn to take it.

Just my 2 cents. I do prefer the original, though.

[louisianasbabygirl]

Love it

[AJCTB]

two beautiful Canadian ladies both from Ontario

[mesha23]

I love them both.That sucks that there are both VERY UNDERRATED artists.

[devonpoe]

they can blow and are both great singers, but its missing that special thing that Whitney brings to her live performances

[Bahia82]

good version, but whitney is whitney on drugs or off, lol. Tamia has a nice voice but not powerful enough for this song. but she sounds good

[goffalboi]

@Bahia82 I agree with you 100% Whitney and Deborah's duet is awesome and Tamia's voice is not powerful enough for the "drama" of this song.

[hearts4ulove]

I love this song! Wish I could find this version to buy..

[njenkins1980]

This is my shit..

[staruga8]

Yes! Yes! I love it!

[Semekolon]

"I wanted to talk to you. You wanna talk in front of all these people?" Tessa

[Eager91]

Love it Tamia and Deborah cox

[KimiSapphire]

Its definetly a different cast... where is Whitney??

[DeborahCoxFan11]

tamia is so fucking ghetto

[TheMrMarilyn]

It's such a shame that Miss Tamia's mike volume seems to lessen in volume from around 4:50 onwards,because she does some blinding runs during the outro!!And Debz...well...what can one say about a girl that seems to have it all ('all' being gawjuss looking,incredibly sexy and a phenomenal voice)!!Ah tell ya...that girl can sAAng narrr!!She gits awl UP in tha place...and ah love the little rhythmic change she does with "but ah wish the one before had warned meh too"...brilliant,juss brilliant!!

[d814878]

i guess 9 women didn't like being warned 

[MrSexxxy20]

Loooooved it!!!

[theclient2k]

I want Tamia to sing Whitney's part and Deborah to sing her own part I love it still but I want it that way lol

[zergyzerg]

its funny, whitney was warning deborah in the orignial version. in this version, its not deborah warning tamia .. like the original version came true. haha very nice!

[TheMrMarilyn]

@zergyzerg Thass called irony lol!!x

[mandy10ca]

Canadian Sistas!!!!!

[americankrystle]

Thank you for posting this! These are two of my favorite female singers and they killed that song. I LOVE IT!!!

[pixxiesarebetter]

Whitney tod he so now she's telling Tamia lol

[cndygur990Girlicious]

i wish they had a video for this song

[tlp262002]

I do like it....original is better tho...nobody can out sang whitney!

[Latrinia81]

@tlp262002 You arer so right that was like gargage to me im sorry.

[TheMrMarilyn]

Love this performance!!Madame Cox wore IT out and meh WITH it!!That gewl can sAAng...foh tha GAWdz!!Those runs...juss the overal usage of her voice,is awesome!!Tamia (for whatever reason) relly didn't come across this night,and seemed like she was straining for volume and control of her voice,which is nothing unusual for any singer!!Two gewls voices that ah love,and a great track as well!!

[athlonamd999]

Good thing Tamia didn't decide to upstage Deborah, I love Ms. Cox but Tamia can go much higher in full voice

[sahara1924]

I LOVE TAMIA!!!!

[billicent1219]

Tamia could've sung instead Whitney's part and Deborah her own part.

[athlonamd999]

@billicent1219 it is logical for the "older" singer to sing the Whitney part, it makes sense because of the lyrics

[MrStyle23]

Tamia was blowing on this sucker!

[WaltBabeLuv34]

I am so happy I got to witness this....talk about DIVAS BLOWING IT OUT THE WATER......

[salhange]

wow 

[atltallone907]

[RebbieFan]

[Dieselboy969]

[ThrowbackSoul]

Terrible song but I love the stage drama.

[HipHopMarly]

WOW!!

[cireewol]

Dude, where did you get this?!?!?!? I was at this concert! It was held at the Atlanta Civic Center. Chante Moore, who was one of the opening acts, put on an almost one-hour show! The best concert I've ever attended! No doubt!

[KakkoiGuy1]

@cireewol Chante needs to call me. LOL! I "lovededed" her since she first came out. HAHAHAHA. I hope you at least got her beeper number for me. Dang man.

[90sToInfinity]

CLASSIC PERFORMANCE!!! Never seen this done live. They truly brought the lyrics to life. LOVE 90s Artists!!!

[90s2Infinity]

@90sToInfinity My old comment from my previous account! Thanks for keeping it alive LOL!

[RasheemC]

YAY!!!!!!! The Canadian SANGIN CHICKS!!!

[delocollier]

real singers they have a group coming out cant wait

[AyBayBayBaby]

Aint nothin but some black folks in the audience being messy at the beginning when Deb & Tamia were doing the interlude of the song....lmao...only us..

[supermkz]

Naaahhhh mean lol We rude na'rarse

[AyBayBayBaby]

Lol, we would have it no other way...but I love us, nobody does it like us, lol.. :)) but we will act a fool anywhere, not always good but that ish be funny.

[ItalPrincesa]

wowowowowowowwo amazing amazingggggggg i vote tamiaaa !!

[Sarah404]

WHAT they got rid of the best part... " im the future ur his past" COME OOONNN... im sorry but this did nothing for me.. they were good but the original is better..

[1LuvEvery1]

Chances are they didn't do that part b/c this was Deborah's part of the concert. Tamia had her own segment. She just joined Deborah for this one song so they didn't really need to do the full song.

[manofsteel1223]

Dawg, thank you for posting this i always wondered how this would sound with Tamia, D. Cox killed it

[babysdaddyATL]

You're so welcome. What a joy to share this with the world.

[kmaur21]

Tamia hit that high note 3:48 sing it out girl!

[kountykappa]

the wonderful thing is that they are forming a group called TDK standing for Tamia Deborah and Kelly Price! First Track entitled "Queen" due out before the end of this year!

[13Keepers]

Whhhhhhhhhhhhat? Oh that is going to be HOT!

[kmaur21]

Deb 2:17-2:21 tore that up like Nippy would have!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[13Keepers]

I hope that won't be too much Diva for one project an these Sistahs make it work! Certainly am looking forward to TDK.

[Altovise0214]

Beautiful,real talent , and real singing. I LOVE those TWO.

[achumph]

I saw these to ladies at gay pride in 2005, and they were amazing!

[Samantha4271]

WOW they killed it!!! it brought tears to my eyes!!!!! great job ladies!!!!!!!!!

[Stephon02]

stella damasus and deborah cox look just alike

[gajuicypeach]

they did that

[08cree]

WOW! BEAUTIFUL!

[glamgoddess31]

OMG! I just realized what they did... They switched it around...Deborah is singing what was originally Whitney Houstons part and Tamia is singing Deborah's part... and it all makes perfect sense... Deborah has a Whitney like timbre to her voice so while Tamias voice is great but much softer. I always said that Deborah sounded alot like Whitney!!

[Floetry30]

also its saying Deborah has now been replaced like Whitney said was gone happen

[Stephon02]

DEB COX u BADDD to the bone babe!!! I will always love Tamia, they both killed it!!!xoxooxo

[soupnazi27]

Deborah you are the best!! The way you phrase on 2:18 - only u could do that. Tamia, I love you but she got u there!

[Stephon02]

CHECK IT OUT DEBORAH COX AND STELLA DAMASUS ABODERIN LOOK JUST ALIKE!!!!! JUST TYPE IN STELLA DAMASUS AND YOU WILL SEE EXACTLY WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT!! p.s. BTW ur rite only deborah cox can spice it up like she did at 2:18.

[GMHazer]

i love tamia and d cox. These are true talents. not for show.

[SpecBaby08]

love dis song

[jordunantoinette]

dis my jam rite here!!!!!

[vitorvog]

amo as duassss

i love them

that was just great

[changingmantra2]

Does anyone know if this who concert is on DVD?

[devonpoe]

i love Tamia's voice, but this is a song for two powerhouses. Whitney and Deb killed the original even though that was during whitney;s rough years, she still did her thing. i would love to see Fantasia and J-Hud do it now

[yo1o2eggs]

Goosebumps! I wish I saw this live!

[LadyTai7]

Lady Cox all day long baby!!!

[hallsbstn]

deborah sang whitney's part instead of her own, i guess because tamia's voice is lighter so thats why they switched. kewl!

[jayecards8907]

i love this

[mcmichel90]

Wonderfull!

[latarra81]

I used to love this song!!!!!!

[SaoPauloBrazil2]

Oh man, thanks for this video! I love Deborah Cox and always keen to watch her singing this song live. I know Whitney would be impossible to do that but Tamia is a great singer and the performance of both were amazing. It could be a professional recording, but that video made me happy anyway. :-)

[librakidd]

taima making me so mad so holding back great song love it

[HUbestalum]

I think she held back too. But if she had done all that we know she's capable of they may have ended up in a shouting match. I like this b/c it wasn't over the top.

[BEUTIIBOUND]

Its funny because The song was intended for Whitney and Toni Braxton not Deboreah Toni couldnt do it at the time...I think Deborah was the perfect replacement.

[NJNupe1911]

really? wow i didn't know that!

[squall0512]

SUBARASHI!!

[lloydsbaybe21]

i like this duet cuz their not screaming at eachother and singing over eachother..they compliment eachother!

[dischicbwonderful]

they should have whitney come and be like, I TOLD YA ITS A RECURRING CYCLE

[stampidd]

true!

would have been a nice touch

[kena08]

there must be something in the water in Canada because these women are AMAZING!!!

[Leyah2552]

Boy CANADA produces some beast!!!

[seeme0624]

broke...I agree, but its because Deb has a stronger, more husky tone to her voice

[09txchick09]

Two amazing strong voices.

[PW08]

This totally just highlights the song because it's like Whitney told Deborah and now Deborah is telling Tamia on stage what Whitney already den told Deborah!!!! I LUV IT, it just Emphasizes SAME SCRIPT DIFFERENT CAST.

[PRNeneChulo]

I never thought of it like that, WOW it gives the song a new version and meaning.

[broke2471]

I loves me some Tamia and Deborah Cox, both very powerful singers in their own right. But watching this, and I'm glad you posted this vid, cuz I had never seen it before, but Deborah showed Tamia up, and I don't know if it's because it's Deborah Cox's song, but despite that I gotta give it to Deb, although Tamia can definitely blow, and Love them both, I wonder how Whitney and Deb would've done live because the 2 of them Whitney and Deb sound alike but there are some destinctions betwen the 2.

[Rosannasfriend]

I thought they tied.

[GeorgiaSkyez]

Ain't this Whtney Houston's song?

[taylorboi429]

MY CANADIAN SISTERS

[Kingmidus86]

This is coo I wish Deb and Whit would have done this live at one point though

[Blackmage001]

Amazing live voices. I miss those days.

[honz1984]

Luvs Tamia!!

[oldirtydanic]

I was waiting for them to start taking their earrings off, pull the wig off, throw their spikes at each other, whip out the razor and start cussin..but this was aiight too

[sweetnsexy80]

LOL

[aguirrelmjzn]

Not much to say about this song its just amazing, just grabbed the official ringtone for this song at DownloadEveryTone. Com if anyone is interested ------------

[twister126]

Heavenly.

[tjsexy]

deborah cox please come back show these other women how to sing

[LightningStash]

Glad to see these two are getting along.

And yes, I do have their Music too!

[justhangginlow]

This is some black soap opera sanging here.Deborah and Tamia go 4 it..........

[sexy912]

Deb and whiney sound so much alike until deb goes up but when I first heard the song i thought it was just whitney c ause they sound so alike
