This cover was just very corny. Even when I was 3 or 4 years old when I first saw this on the Disney Channel I thought "this is kinda stupid". But that's not to take away from what a great singer Rahsaan Paterson is.
Closed minded people who make judgments like that don't realize how saying something like that can hinder a child's progress. People who create on the level of Rashaan they feel the world without prejudice. When you put a negative label on a child it hinders the child. There are more caring ways to get your point across. The real point is it shouldn't matter how he moves or act he has the voice of an angel. Remember our life experience shape who we are. Give love and love will return 10 fold!
LOL! WHAT on EARTH were the writers THINKING? It was bad enough we all assumed "The Kid" was gay anyway (not 'bad' but as kids we all kinda giggled and made jokes about it)...but to have him sing a LOVE SONG to another boy??? (Changing "love" to "Like" didn't make it any less awkward!) They REALLY shoulda had one of the girls sing this regardless of the context of the episode! Or just AVOID this musical number altogether! TOO FUNNY!
THAT'S IT! It's like-we all understand the concept of the message in the script (Don't get to hasty, thing before you leap-make mistakes and get "in to deep" with regrets), BUT Maybe the producers should have picked another song- not a chic flick type man and woman honeymoon song-and kept in mind that the public can easily take this scene out of context.
It goes without saying, but I need 2 say it. Much can be assumed from a mere fragment/clip from the whole segment; Hence Rev. Wright. TIP: never draw a conclusion without gaining the full picture.
Will u still be asking this if he sang this to a girl? They are not having sex, relax. Kids can communicate to the same sex, it's ok.
I am afraid the episode plot will confuse you even more, but here it is:
The episode is called Boy who cried gorilla.
The little kid here has been making up a lot of stories to everyone, and everyone thinks he is a liar. But now when he tells the truth, his friends: Fergie, Rahsaan, Rene, and Connie do not believe him anymore.
That oyabun83 person doesn't know what he's talkin' about. (scroll down to read his silly comment). This is a staged series from Kids Inc. Rahsaan don't want that boy!!!
Hey, there fella, it's going to be o.k. There's no need to call people names or wish bad things on them. This whole analytical hoopla is taken out of context. Just relax, breathe, and release. Do some yoga, eat a cookie. It's just a show, he didn't write the script, it's just music, and if he's so friggen gay, then so friggen what!!! You can't f*ck Soul Music, I'm sure it wouldn't want to bend over and catch something.
What does his sexuality have to do with soul music lovers dying? LOL!!! The definition if nigger is a IGNORANT person, not a "BLACK person". Somebody needs a hug.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
fuckin fags.... yeah that nigger was tryin to pick up on the white kid! and to say that they were just kids and not knowing what they were saying.... fuck yeah that nigger knrew what he was sayin to the white kid cuz it's at that time a kid is more homophobic but in this case this kid is so comfortable I think his intentions were gay and fuck soul music.... fuckin soul music lovers die...fuckin FAGS
I Agree with nyad225! Yeah, the song just goes with the storyline. Let's not get things twisted around here, Ya'll leave Rah alone, he's just warning the guy. Think first! Don't get In to Deep, you'll regret it later. We've all been there! Love You RAH!!!
It fits with the context, but COME ON! Why did they pick the most feminine kid in the cast to sing this to another boy??? Why not have Fergie sing this number? Or Connie???
Come on, peeps!! ( Some of you ).This episode was about Kid (Rah) giving the guy advise to THINK first before saying/doing something he may regret later/his association with Tevin Campbell is that he produced some of his hits as well as Brandy and other artists we know of (Research/Google).So I guess he's their lover too,(sarcastically speaking). Who gives a Rat's Ass if he's gay or not.The man can SANG his ass off!! He's Wonderful and Wines and Spirits is Off the Hook!
You're on point Digital. It wadn't that deep. It was a staged interpretation of a Genesis song ... use some imagination. I think the clip foreshadows his tendency to keep people guessing as an artist some 10 years (now 20) after this was taped. Rah is the rare artist who has the nuts to go on 'head and just do HIM. Don't matter who he's singin about and or to, I'm just glad that he does. ANC, For the record, DH is Donny Hathaway, the legendary father of Rahsaan's good friend Lalah.
Seems like he was taking a leaf out of George Michael's book....he did pretty much the same thing on his "Older" album from 1996. Bare in mind GM later revealed that he always tried to make it pretty obvious in his music that he was gay....LONG before his sexuality was exposed to the general public.
That said, I think Rahsaan pretty much said "I'm gay" on his new album "Wines & Spirits." First of all, not once on this album is he acknowledging anybody's gender, second he dedicated the album to "DH" - who knows if that's a man or a woman? Finally, the last track "Stars" is a cover of an old Janis Ian song and it has GAY written all over it..did I mention the fact that Janis Ian is actually a lesbian? Guess that's the reason why the song sounds to me as such.
Well I'm not trying to defend anybody here...or take anybody down for that matter, but I think what you all need to take notice of is the fact that Rahsaan and whoever that other bloke in the video is, were just kids around the time this segment was shot. Therefore they most probably had no idea what the lyrics were actually saying.
YO! Who cares what his preference is! You are ignorant for that comment. Alls I know is his music is off the hook. My views never changed once I heard rumors. His new LP is off the hook. And I cant wait for SRBC's first album!
Whatever you say jackass. There are many awesome gay artists, HE is not one of them. I was commenting on THIS stupid ass, borderline inappropriate video. Get a life asshole.
Wow, looks like Rahsaan's new fans are obsessed homophobes, to say the least. The same video that is tagged through Kids Incorporated, does not have any paranoid comments like this.
Funny, but Fergie, Rahsaan's partner from Kids Inc, has the same issue. Her current fans freak out when they see her singing 80's disco on youtube.
lol, I don't remember that well. But I think the theme of the show had something to do with no one listening to the kid or something. It's more to give advice threw song.
why did these adults think it was cute to put these boys in such a "preDICKament?" Goodness. And yes, Rahsaan and little Tevin Campbell 4EVA!! hahahahaha
Wow YEAH....WTF THIS SONG IS WRONG WRONG WRONG

it's still cool with me.... he's an awesome artist & every single one of his albums are really quite enjoyable.
Plus, he isn't the only gay artist on the face of the earth, so...no need for any of those unnecessary homophobic comments.
