[kahmncntz29]

Miss you our "IVORY QUEEN OF SOUL" Dec.26, 2010 on Sunday you passed on and it's been 1 year and 3 days as of today12/29/11. Thanks PhoenixStillRising for this post and I also believe there were unresolved feelings for R.J. because all you have to do is listen to her CD Sapphire from 2006 for verification.

[cammicty]

The only White Chick who actually was a real Soul SIster, no fake crap just to try and sound like us, she was a true ghetto soul Sista!

[arlenerogerswilhite]

@PhoenixStillRising I always thought she sang this for Rick..she was so private, and that's how she left this world privately. I love this video. she went out like a true gangstah woman, classy woman, soul sistah, and all that! Thanks for the post Phoenixstillrising..are you from AZ? i'm from Blythe. Take care.

[PhoenixStillRising]

@arlenerogerswilhite Hi, Arlenerogerswilhite, thanks for your comments and question. I too, think Teena, till the end, still carried a small torch for Rick James, and she was very private, classy and oh so talented!

I am from PA. I chose the name PhoenixStillRising because of the mythical bird, the Phoenix, reborn and rising from the ashes...victorious! I luv the lore of the legend.

[arlenerogerswilhite]

@PhoenixStillRising Oh okay, I was curious cause my home town is lke 100miles from Pheoniz, AZ...But I can relate to your liking the story cause I am a Phoenix! lol I graduated from the University of Phoenix and that's there slogan and symbol! I thought it was a cult at first then I read up on it! lol

[eclass325]

Damnnnnnnnnnn Teena! She is straight gangsta!!! There will never be another like you!

[leigha33w]

Shes a pimp. Such a loss on so many levels.

[Mspike456]

DAM THAT VOICE IS AMAZZZZZZZZZZING !

[LBOWEDOUT]

who the hell tapes something off a tv and reproduces it?

[tweethang1]

COME BACK LADY T!!

[tinyavenger4u]

Lady T always put it down. I remember roller skating to square biz. None of my friends was into R&B (they listened to hard rock etc), but when Square Biz came on at the rink everybody "got up." No white woman can sang like her. She never sold out and remained true to her music. I always wonder why Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber are so popular. I pity kids today who didn't get to grow up with Lady T. Its a damn shame few know who she was.

[Choozyums]

@tinyavenger4u

Well said, Tinyavenger. Lady T was one of a kind, multi-talented and she had the voice of an angel. She is greatly missed.

[kingmike2088]

shit go head ms teena baby u got it...r.i.p sweetheart.

[robertsnowden19]

This is when I found out she was white! I was only 14 at the time. lol

[IMissMyMichael]

Incredible! Truly Missed! I love you Teena.

[bashfulbabe1]

this 'sista' can blow!!!

[barnabas50]

great live performance, lady t was real!

[sexymarqullo]

YES!!!



[jamal23227]

2 people masturbates to Justin Bieber's girly vice.

[jamal23227]

R.I.P Lady T :(

[1100ayanna]

I would like to state that celine, mariah NONE OF TODAYS best can touch this woman in this LIVE performance!!!! I so love her and used to get my behind beat for listening to her because they just did not understand that soul is soul and music is transparent and people are people. I so respected her because she was HERSELF and she did it all wrote sang PRODUCED HER OWN AND SHE WAS A VERY DOWN TO EARTH NICE PERSON WHO WAS GENUINE OING WHAT JESUS PUT HER HERE!!! I am so sad.Wishmorewerekindasshe.

[cemirasol]

Great video thank you for posting. She will be missed.  Grew up with her music all through high school. My condolences to her family.

[ButterflyLady59]

My soulful Lady is gone :(

[MizzHunnyBunny4Life]

#Yesssssssssss

[olaray50]

i never saw her, but every time I hear song I just fall in love with 70's all over

[tunett123]

A true soul sister. We will miss her.

[407greg]

R.I.P "Teena Marie" From: Gregory Alexander aka Gregory Antwone Alexander

[icehouse1112]

Whoever responsible for this video, I only have two words. (((THANK YOU)))

[PhoenixStillRising]

@icehouse1112

Hi Icehouse, Your welcome! I have always had much love and respect for the incomparable Mz. Teena Marie, so I posted this back in 2007 when she was on Showtime At The Apollo. She deserves all the accolades that she is receiving, I'm only sorry that she didn't get more of it when she was alive. She was a tremendous talent and she is sorely missed. ^j^ ^j^ ^j^

[ironkobe]

love this song, so souful and her voice is so unreal, lady t rest in peace

[fathead1962]

Teena Marie...there will be no one like you ever..a true singer, true talent. The real entertainers are leaving...rip Lady T...you will never be forgotten, she is truly "blue eyed soul" Miss you!

[chocotacojewboy]

Anyone else miss her deeply?

[Choozyums]

@chocotacojewboy I sure miss her voice, her musicality. She left us and in the words of the late king of pop Micheal Jackson, she is "Gone Too Soon". Tina was the epitome of the definition of multi-talented, she was the real deal and she is sorely missed.

I know she is with the Angels and there is a mighty choir in heaven, singing right now. I just know it! ^j^ ^j^ ^j^

[sleepy310714]

RIP TO TEENA MARIE RICK JAMES MICHAEL JACKSON LUTHER VANDROSS GERALD LEVERT JAMES BROWN THERE WILL NEVER B MUSIC LIKE THESE ARTISTS PUT OUT EVER AGAIN

[407greg]

@sleepy310714 Thats very true. but me Gregory Alexander aka Gregory Antwone Alexander will be the next. i will bring it.

[93Newyorker97]

Rest in peace.

[zenitramable]

Thanks

[zenitramable]

[Choozylady]

@zenitramable

Hi Zen,

Monique was still the host and this was posted on Oct. 4, 2007

[Thatsrightnate]

[80sKatt]

Her fans not only loved her but they respected her..... Thats a big difference compared to your gagas and Beyonces.... With Lady T it was all about the music nothing else that the music industry uses to distract you away from it...

RIP MA T YOUR WERE AND ARE A BLUE EYED SOUL ANGEL your WITH RICK nowNOW.

[scatcat3]

@80sKatt That's straight talk.

[isurvivedwithgod7788]

[reeree2264]

Lady Tee laid the satck down yearz ago......and noBODy has been able to touch her since! True grownfolks style!!

[MegaPurpleviolet]

There will never be another female performer as great as Tina. NEVER!

[Sh0rty901]

[Sal1675]

this is just such a bad ass tune - mmmmmmmmm

[tadpole96100]

Shite! I'm British and really white but the music I listen too is soul, R&B and it's not a white vs. black thang 4 me. It's how music makes me feel. dunno really. Luv this song. I never see colour in people's skin just what kinda person they are.

[gldtng0867]

Teena Marie IS a true legend!!!! These no talent "singers" of today need lessons from a true super-star.

[Bigggpoppa]

After all these years Tina still has it!

[MyInfinity123]

Lady T is the greatest. No one can touch her. WOW.

[tweethang1]

She kicks ass!

[BoriquaRikan1227]

SHE WILL KILL IN SINGING ALL THESE BLACK GIRLS THAT (((((SCREEM)))) like they Giving BIRTH OR TAKING A SHIT!!!...:LMAO!! TINA IS A BAD ASS!!! Natural Flow....and she is ORG. No cop style!!

[funkateerkitty]

@BoriquaRikan1227 Yeah, I read where someone commented on her "poor choice of snakeskin pants and the fur coat" Well, she lived on the East Coast and that was the style of coat for "fly girls" to wear. The leather outfit probably got tossed aftwer this performance

[tweethang1]

You go Miz Lady T. I love Teena Marie.

[funkateerkitty]

@tweethang1 Partied w/The Lady "T" she is BADD and sweet and kind and Loving!!! I wonder if the kids of today know how funky and Bad-Ass we were back in the day :)

She is totally Gangsta, and ya' know it!!!

[funkateerkitty]

Thay's me right there at 2:40 :) Hah, I dig her just like the woman here !

[funkateerkitty]

@funkateerkitty How maneeee times do I have to tell U ppl (Craig...) that Teena is called "Vanilla Child"

listen to her song...Square Biz "cuz' baby names don't cramp my style..."

"Can ya' dig it?" as the Lady says

Now YOU LISTEN to her lyrics...it even rhymes...How in H--E-- double toothpicks did U come up with "Vanilla Choc"? Man that doesn't even sound cool...think man!!!

She says: Vanilla Chile' " it's with her little accent that she has man...

cocobuda is right :)

[tweethang1]

@funkateerkitty Im a young kid myself. My mom and dad loves to listen to her. I totally love miz Lady T. Now let's all listen to her sing about love. Peace.

[Currev007]

Love her swagg!!!~

[SouthSideSoul]

Teena Marie smashed it!! What a wicked wicked tune. Remember this Diva was mashing up the dance floors here in the UK way back in the 80's where she had a string of hits. Well done girl, nice to have you back on board again.

[lrowell1]

do u know what cd are lp this song is on?

[courtney2purple]

thats my shit!!!!!!!!!!!!

[babygurlkay16]

ohhh you go lady t! shiet!

[craighere7]

Teena is amazing! I wish we had video from her very first Apollo appearance, when "vanilla-choc" made her debut! I love her.

[kmaur21]

What is her vocal range? I think she has at least 4 to 5 octaves cause I know she hit Minnie Ripperton like notes.

[kmaur21]

how high was that note 3:42?

[craighere7]

Craighere7, you are so right. She even says her nickname in one of her songs. It is "vanilla-choc". The rest of you are mental for giving Craig grief. Know her and listen to her music before you speak. Lady T is all about the love.

[cocobuda65]

@craighere7

Love me some Teena too, Craighere7, but I gotta say that she's bka Vanila Child, not Vanilla Choc. No respect...just for the record's sake.

[ladyLweb]

[Mstayfraz]

Wonderful voice.

[sharyssa1]

Teena is the best female vocalist period!

[scdotson1]

she is so awesome and one of the best: Minnie riperton was the best

[2sxxy4ubaby]

straight up Lady T ... no other lady can let the men know how we feel..

[italianbrowneyes66]

What a great soothing song ... if this song was to go on the radio, it'd be wicked popular...shes so great!

[rojoy2]

Unbelieveable. What a voice!!  One of the best Female R&B singer on the PLANET!!

[Lemech3]

[cllamont]

Baddest white chick ever - period.

[Svew225]

[triptoheaveandho]

[littlequeen64]

Teena wears whatever SHE wants!!!And don't forget it!

[ref1ex]

I really like this tune, especially when she's going off with the bridge of the song.

反射

[tiana1017]

heartnsoul2008 is a freakin idiot..u got the nerve to have that heartnsoul name because obvoiusly you don't know what it means.

[miggy221]

much better than christina augrilla!!

[jongotty316]

umm...did any a yall saw dat ass on monique? GOT DAMN!!

[squirrell57]

Brilliant - wish I had been there..Somebody tell Teena that her fans in the UK are waiting for a visit...

[heartnsoul2008]

Teena Marie thinks she's black! What a shame.

[blackrocker1]

Nobody knows what Teena Marie is thinking unless she tells us.

[rufus317]

Thinks? Teena earned her black card back in 79' when she hit the scene. She's the real deal. No other women was bad enough to hang with Rick James in his prime but Lady T.

[Bagface]

CHURCH!!!

[GamingQueen88]

I don't care how old this comment is. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Teena Marie can SING. She's in the league of Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, and Natalie Cole. She's got soul!! More soul than some black people have.

[ericmtl]

Lady T's got more soul and power than some of the so-called soul singers these days. Her vocals rival any vocals of the beautiful black mamas out there. She's a sista in a white body and ain't nothing wrong with that!! She is the only white singer along with amazing Lisa Stansfield who was was accepted by the black community cuz she ain't no poseur!

[blackrocker1]

You might want to include Natalie Brown from Canada; and possibly, Louise Perryman from Australia--she almost sounds like Anita Baker, only not as good.

[775hiteenaa]

I agree teena marie is the best female singer of all time i remember i bought the cd that has this song its called La Dona in came out in 2004 i remember on her my space they talked about it the cd should of got more credit

[xxxlady77]

thot u only liked JODECI! didnt know u grove like this 2

[wyle93]

man this lady can sang her ass off!!!! she's not getting enough credit as one of the best singers!!! fareal

[prwash]

Dat white girl can sang!

[jewellszuniga]

I remember seeing this! I almost had a coronary! After 20+++ years, she came out and PIMP'd the Apollo!!!!!!! I could not sleep... I had to get that CD! Look at her... she still rocks... its amazing!!!!! Love you TEENA!!!!! she deserves some awards!

[oleskool61]

I hope you are still with us, but I completely understand, it is not about skin color or any of that negative BS that we hear, she just straight out makes people feel good. Go Teena.

[lescas1159]

this woman is the bomb...period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

white girl rocking the apollo

and their STILL LOVIN HER

[msutiger68]

Teena Marie gives me the chills when she sings, one of my all time favorite songs.

[mariah1257]

AWESOME voice.

[iloveteena]

gone girl wit ya bad ass!!! im still in love wit u baby!

[vickyisthug]

I LOVE TEENA MARIE ALWAYZ!! Can it be LOVE is mn my favorite!

[jjyl22]

no. 2 singer in the world. Whitney got no.1

[rufus317]

Only reason why Whitney got as famous as she did instead of Teena Marie was because Teena didn't sell out to the Pop audience. She chose to strictly be R&b, just like Confunkshun & Frankie Beverly & Maze did. They were strictly R&B n stayed true to their fans. Truthfully Teena is more musically talented than Whitney because she plays her own instruments, writes, and produce her own stuff.

[LiLMiJA08]

You are so right. She's amazing. Her range is ... I can not deascribe it. I've all ways loved her.

[tiamarc]

That Teena is a BAD ASS!No1 n I mean NO1 got a

voice like her,she is the BEST.She has a "distintive" voice that u automatically know

has soon as u hear her songs.I'm so glad she's

BACK!!!!!!!

[Choozyums]

Teena Marie has an incredible voice and presence!
