  • You know what's the sad truth about this? It's that the music industry doesn't recognize talent like Tamia, they only recognize Beyonce because she's mainstream. Mainstream artists get more air time than the lesser known artists and that's a sad fact because Tamia, clearly, a very talented singer who never got the same recognition that Beyonce has.

  • This song is so hypnotizing...

  • You all talk about singers and compare.. do any of you have million dollar contracts? LOL. Answer that.

  • @LoveforPlusSizeWomen Pure talent and ability, the kind of voice that can transform/hypnotize/inspire/up­lift - is priceless. Many no-talent/ no-singing people got the big contracts. Hope they spend their money well.

  • Lord, that child can sing!!

  • U.K. R&B Diva Mica Paris sang the original which was written by Rod Temperton.

  • I like this song and Tamia is gorgeous along with a great voice.

    

  • Classic R& B from back in the day now this is a real tune not like many today

  • Ohhh what a voice. We need more singers like Tamia

  • Why do we have to compare singers? Who cares really? Respect both singers equally.. Tamia could not sing Beyonce's songs.. LOL. Ya'll will argue that, I'm sure.

  • I don't just love her, I'm in LOVE with her.....Like Quincy did when she sung this song to him.

    She touched my soul.......I'm in Love with you Tamia.........

  • Tamia is good, but I'm sorry to say, she does not do this song as well as it's original vocalist Mica Paris.

  • i dunno what it is but for some reason this song gives me a NEW YORK CITY feel. thats the #1 reason why i love the song so much. for some reason it just reminds me of NYC-the greatest city in the universe! and yes i love the song's beat too.

  • and she is sexy as fuck to..dam grant hill ...lol

  • @yubsnme

    yea that dude got a winner

  • Best song off the album...

  • this has always been one of my favorite songs. it's such a beautiful song and it takes real talent to sing this song. it was definitely made especially for Tamia.

  • To all the ladies out there thank you for being what God made, a woman I can say that this song is  ballet for men and woman all over the world. and at 59 years old I find myself alone again. my wife died and this song was our song. baby doll I miss you. I will try and move on with my life. maybe in the next life we will be togeather again.

  • I've always loved this song!

  • This song is so sexxxy.....

  • This video reminds me of Paula Abdul's Crazy Cool video

  • i used to sneak and stay up to see this video on midnight love lol

  • the fact that she had such a mature voice at 19 when she sang this

  • Quincy knows talent and beautiful women. This is definitely on of the best jams ever!

  • LAST OF THE REAL VOCALISTS....

  • Favorite song of all time by Tamia! Girl got skills! Thanks for posting! Takes me back to Winter of 1996!

  • Some people sang, this girl Sings, a real singer can step on stage a with out a piano with out a drum, or a horn and bring life and light to a room with their voice and that = Tamia, and if your not made of rubie’s and gold, the Dude(Q) will not touch you

  • How did I know that when I scrolled down I would see Beyonces name up for discussion? Yall people are pitiful. Their BOTH great singers.. Debate whether or not Rihanna can do it.

  • Beyonce? really?

  • Yesss this is my song! These special feelings time can't erase.....

  • BRING BACK PILLOW TALK! nuff said :)

  • Damn! Tamia is sexy as hell! Sing it baby! Classic music.

  • beyonce i dont care wat dem haters say about you ur the shit to me keep doing wat u doing cause shit wouldnt be the same withyou u got dat talent my gurl can sing she can dance and she got dem looks go to sleeep haters tamia dont hav shit on the beautiful B DA REALIST MS HODGES

  • @megabeautyblack I bet you $100 that beyonce cant hit the notes that tamia can. I believe tamia has a five octave range. dont get me wrong i like beyonce but she cant hold a candle to tamia. Tamia is underrated and can blow beyonce out of the game in a quick second. dont let her sexy face fool you. girlfriend can blow

  • @Jiv3Turk3y161 yeah she can hit those notes but mariah can defenently hit those high notes way better than tamia can

  • @mimi817499 in my opinion i think tamia can. Mariah does it too often and abuses her vocal ability, so its expected.but tamia hits those notes at the right time whether its the climax of the song or when its needed. I love mariah carey but nowadays when she sings a song you can barely understand her because its a high note all the time. we really never got a chance to see tamia's true vocal ability because of some of the songs she sings.

  • @Jiv3Turk3y161 What you bet $100 that beyonce can't hiit the notes. I bet you 20 grand she can't hit those notes. First of all she can't sing over any chord changes that right there ends the discussion. Beyonce would never attempt to sing an arrangement like this cause she's not a vocalist by any steych of the imagination. She's a product of very skillfull marketing of her big fat rump and nothing more. The sad part is she actually believes she's a diva. She couldn't carry Tamia's microphone.

  • @CHC4669 THANK YOU!!! AT LEAST SOMEBODY AGREE WITH ME ABOUT BEYONCE! SHE'S AN ENTERTAINER, NOT A REAL SINGER LIKE TAMIA.

  • @MLSJ781 Well I hate to disappoint you but I totally disagree with you 100%.

    She's not even an entertainer. Watching her prance around the stage is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Take away the lights, hoochie dancers, and theatrics and you have absolutely nothing.

    ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, ZERO.

  • @MLSJ781 you are correct. That is what is missing these days is CLASS.

  • @Jiv3Turk3y161 I totally agree with you. Tamia is a woman who deserved the recognition beyonce got because she is just as good and can hit even higher pitches than Beyonce

  • i love tamia she has a lovely voice but besides that tamia dosent hav nothing on beyonce. mariah carey is num 1 whintey houston num 2 then the beautiful beyonce num 3 stop comparing and enjoy the music Da Realist Ms Hodges

  • @megabeautyblack Whitney = #1, Mariah = #2, Beyonce = #3, Ms. Badu = #4. they are ranked on more than just their vocal talents, but that is the main factor as well as longevity, performance, etc.

  • Another classic from the creative geniuses of Quincy Jones and Rod Temperton. Whenever they get together, it's a masterpiece (See: Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and "Rock With You", Quincy's "The Dude" and "The Secret Garden", George Benson's "Give Me The Night", James Ingram's "Yah Mo B There" and The Brothers Johnson's "Stomp".

  • the words of Chris Rock. Good lawrd!!

  • Can you all believe she is ONLY 19 here???????

  • @WWPTE LOL I Know, she looks at least 24, hahaha she is beautiful though. And that voice. *sigh*

  • "My favorite performance and recording of this day>....Perfectly done.

  • Excuse my french, but this is how you SANG THE SHIT out of song! Like a Micheal Jordan jersey....retire this one, no need for a remake! AWESOME delivery! She is the well kept secret in the industry!

  • Okay are these Beyonce fans delusional? This will never...and I do mean NEVER be in realm of mrs. Bey's range. This here song is an etched classic that not ONE PERSON yet born can nail can do. Point. Blank. Period. This is Tungsten quality all day. (look it up if you need to)

  • Now yall know Beyonce will tear this song to pieces....People are so focused on her beauty/body that they don't listen to her voice....B and SANG!

  • She can sing. She doesn't need all the extra music and instrumentals in the background. Beyonce can sing, but not this song.

  • in all fairness though guys, remember there is a place in entertsinment for all of them. but yeah they don't even come close to Tamia; and I like Beyonce and Mary J a lot.

  • How can anyone dislike this!?

  • i miss music like this..

  • I will halft to agree CHC4669, B can sing but not like this, this is old school with class, and that is what sets TAMIA apart from the rest C L A S S ! ! ! !.

  • Wonderful video and Tamia is just sexy with all her clothes on. Very beautiful young lady.

  • baby our luvs like a melody ....playin 4 us in the sweetest key....

  • is it just me or is it the older tamia gets the younger she looks.

  • Ok too play in the NBA and have Tamia as a wife?more than a mere mortal deserves.....Grant Hill you luck Motherf#$#er!!!

  • OK ....I love Tamia, her voice is beautiful and she looks amazing but her version has absolutely nothing on Mica Paris version........ You guys should check that version out........

  • @tialoveshermusic but tamia dug deep down and put her whole soul into this song. you can hear it in her voice. i kno mica could have done it too but she didnt.

  • @tialoveshermusic Wow, I haven't heard that name in a minute- Mica Paris... I'm gonna check that out right now. Thanks.

  • This voice kills me every time, I wish she would've done more songs like this!

  • Use to love this joint!

    Sol

  • she was 19 when this came out and she still looks the same

  • Fantastic song! This is the reason R&B/Soul music is my favorite! Sensual!

  • @3:42 She's letting him do what he do!

  • I fell in love with this song when I first heard it like 10 years ago and I can't stop listening to it even now. Tamia where are you girl? You have one of the sweetest voices coming from the great Quincy Jones.

  • powerful voice

    - KiD PhaMOUS

  • omg this song still does it for me lol ghat damnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!! *wipes forehead* woooooo baby!!! *thinks of the man in question who gets me this way when this song plays* hehehehe thanks for the post xoxoxox

  • This is one of my all time favorite songs!!! These new singers just don't get it do they? This is singing!!!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG TOO!!!!

  • I was in High School when this came out. All the guys went crazy over her. Great song. Melts my heart!!!

  • who remade this song again?

    jenifer hudson?

  • @prescott1231 Yes, on Quincy's newest album "Soul Bossa Nova" that came out in 2010.

  • I think there's two things we can say for sure and take from this song. And that is you'll never have to worry about Beyonce or Rihanna or Mary J for that matter ever singing a song like this. No way, Not Today, Not Tomorrow, and Not in a Million Years 4 ever and ever. Cause when they listen to this girls voice they all go hide in the corner cause they know damn well they'll never hit those notes. Cause real talent non of them have.

  • @CHC4669 For the most part i concur with ur comment... But u honestly think mary has no vocal ability??

  • @CHC4669 Hmmm...well, they all have a talent but I believe Tamia shut this song down! Not to mention, the video is hooooot. Mica Paris did this song too, and I like her rendition. But I love Tamia's because I was in my prime when it came out and was embarking on the relationship that would lead me to marriage.

  • @CHC4669 U AINT NEVER LIED!!!! THOSE BITCHES CANT HOLD A CANDLE STICK TO TAMIA!!!!!!

  • @MLSJ781 Thanks, you got dat shit right. Those bitches won't go near a stage where Tamia's performing. They could never sing no shit like this. And believe me they know it. Don't be fooled by their diva bullshit, cause that's exactly what it is BULLSHIT.

  • @CHC4669 Very few artists got anything on Tamia's voice. LOL I totally agree with you.

  • @CHC4669 LOL!!

  • @CHC4669...Oh snap...you don't think Mary J. could get with this song, not necessarily imitating Tamia...I'm talking about putting down a redition of this song that sounds good...I think Jennifer Hudson's version of this song sound really good, what's your thoughts on that.???

  • @TheFallinOfficer971 I appreciate the spirit of your comment and respect your opinion. Honestly no for Mary J. even doing her own thing because you have to be able to hit the notes and quite frankly she can't. Tamia set the bar so high and that's what she'd be judge upon. Now for Jennifer Hudson I know there are a lot of people who like her and that's their right. But I must tell you I'm not one of them. She's ok vocal wise but there is nothing special or distinct about her voice in my opinion.

  • @CHC4669...I appreciate your response. I really didn't have an opinion...I was just asking a question concerning your opinion, that's all...but I do agree that Tamia did knock that one outta' the park without a doubt...

  • @TheFallinOfficer971 Jennifer Hudson would over sing and scream this song like she does everything else. Big voice but she has no technical ability.

  • @jtyshi7....Oh snap. The..."Who can get with Tamia"...Singing...You put a move on my heart...debates continues...Smiling. Ok we have established the fact of Jennifer Hudson can't do it...how about a, pre-drug abused...Whitney Houston or Stephanie Mills...C'mon now tell me something...Holla' at me ladies, did I pick out some winners this time...Smiling.?? [ I'm assuming that...jtyshi7...is a female commentor, if I'm wrong please accept my apologies, I mean No disrespect.]

  • @CHC4669 HAVE TO DISAGREE ABOUT MARY SHE HAS REAL TALENT....AND ITS TRUE MARY COULDNT HIT THOSE HIGH NOTES BUT TALENT SHE DO HAVE.....THE REST I AGREE WITH :)

  • @CHC4669 well i only agree with the fact that rihanna couldnt pull this song off, beyonce can easily sing those notes; would she have the same amount of soul probably not, Mary maybe cant reach all those notes but she could definitely bring soul into it.

  • @CHC4669 Thank you! I'm not hating on the other ladies;but they just don't have THIS type of talent. PERIOD ! nor does Toni B. I think J Hudd can cover this with no problem.

  • My favorite MV of all time.

  • who didnt like this? prolly rihanna/ brittney fans

  • im just going to keep it x rated i would lick her feet and every other part of her body.

  • Lets give Quincy Jones credit he discovered this wonderful talent , he is an amazing composer, arranger, musician...he worked with MJ on his Thriller LP.

  • Britney, Beyonce, Christina, Fergie - This is talent! You are all nothing but tits and ass. You all suck!
