  • big jackets and cool dance moves .. damn i miss the 90's!

  • Muito boa essa época em que vivi, pra mim foi uma época de ouro. bjkas pra quem curtiu e ainda curte.

  • Sang Tev

  • DAMN, he's live just as good as on tape ... What a great singer! We don't have these anymore nowadays!

  • DAMN THIS VIDEO HAS 6 DISLIKES!!?? I BET WHOEVER DISLIKED IT HE IS BETTER THAN THEIR FAVORITE SINGER I MEAN DAMN!!!

  • WOwwww purE talEnt wit nO help on bak-up vOcals frOm da album! AbOut 95% of artists nOwadays culd nEva dO dat!!

  • i loved ir , he's adorable

  • This performance was AWESOME. I knew I loved his music but this just really shows how talented he is. Gosh....LEGGO Tevin.

  • He sings exactly like Whitney did when she could sing. The exact same technique.

  • @themostbeautifulone yea he is the male whitney lol but i think he tried very hard to sing like aretha thought naturally he is closer to whitney

  • Best Track Ever By Tevin Campbell... :)

  • Tevin Campbell, is one of the best male singers vocally, hands down. He deserved every got damn dime he got.. Miss all throwback R&B. Today's R&B is ridiculous..

  • @zenlife28

    You got that right. But its better than modern rap. Rap use to be cool, now its just gangster. Its not even singing.

  • @agenttheater5 I get your Point But you are getting two genres Confused Rap is a totally different genre . Tevin Campbell is R&B/ (Rhythm and Blues) artist . R&B is about feelings relationships and Singing is required.

    Rap/HipHop is where they talk over a beat and call it music. It will be like calling Jazz - Country. 2 DIfferent Genres they are both Predominately African American that might be why white People just group all of our music together as if its all the same.

  • @agenttheater5 what are you talking about it's not even gangster anymore

  • Great performance!

  • oh man imma singer an i miss music like this tlc kid n play dougie fresh old school mariah carey feel good music that had a meaning that made u dance imma try my best to bring it bacc out watch out for me yall the name DIAMOND D>>>>

  • thats a good song

  • Tevin Campbell has a great tenor voice. He could actually be a counter-tenor because of his very high tessitura. His highest note is a soprano D (D6) and he can do fifth octave belting. He has great technical abilties with his vocals. I really havent heard much low notes from him, but other than that his tone is great. the longest belted note at 3:18 is a C5 in mixed chest voice. I love that note! He will always be remebered as a greatest male vocalist. I wish he had more recognition!

  • @ThePianoguy89 wow im very impressed you sound like you know what you are talking about can you teach me a thing or two?

  • @code187G Thank you! Well all I can say is that mixing is a vocal technique when it refers to belting! Mixed chest voice is a blend of head voice and chest voice and Tevin Campbell can do it very well.

  • @ThePianoguy89 im going to have to post a video soon and ask for your input.... Alot of people who find tevin campbell to be the best male vocalist also consider whitney houston to be the best female vocalist not that the sound alike, but something about their qualities draws the ear of the listener

  • @code187G What draws them together are the similarities of their runs, riffs, and belts! I am a singer and a pianist, so I also took notice of that! Tevin is a high tenor like me!

  • i understand what you are saying. it is actually the reason i had a big argument with my concerning the other day. i dont care who is gay as long as you come respectful but my mother doesnt want you near her. i think that is rude, when she is saved and taught us to love everybody. was i wrong?

  • Tevin Didn't Lost Anything But Youth! The Bro Came Out At What? Somebody Said 14? Well I;m Not Sure But I Know Quincy Had Him Out There Very Young. "PRINCE" the List Goes On Because He Was And Still Is A Great Natural Born Vocalist That Grew Up From A Boy To A Young Man Just Like Michael Jackson Did! Can't Expect His Voice To Stay The Same In Terms Of His Range, But He's Still Able To Control It The Way He Wants To... Tevin Is Bad (As In Good) For The Few That May Not Get That Term (LOL)...

  • He has an amzing voice! Great singer!

  • I remember I wanted him when I was little.

  • Oh my goodness....this was the shit!

    This dude came out when he was like fourteen...bangin tracks...early!

    Now I built up my confidence.... after listening to him. That's a sad day in hell....every dog has his day...you're right...definitely whites that's controllilng the industry...trust me a lot of them are suffering... we just don't hear about it!

  • I always LOL when I see him dancing. I mean he has rhythm and is on beat but it just looks weird...I did not think this way when I saw him in Hairspray on Broadway....

  • he still has a beautiful voice: his issues are 1. crack destroyed his voice but very recently his voice is showing signs of recovering its natural sound 2. his singing technique is too radical.. the sound is too unorthodox and there are certain parts of it i don't really like, despite his phenomenal voice. For one thing I think he modeled his singing wayyy too much after Aretha. It makes his voice really thin and screechy sometimes. But dont get me wrong he is the best male singer period

  • lol that FRUIT LOOP can sing

  • its very seldom you get a person who sound tey same in concert as they do on the cd...he game really close!!!

  • @ASirensLullaby I was just thinking that

  • he was just as good LIVE as studio then! now he sounds like TREY SONGZ

  • @calebbasped lol

  • @calebbasped I Seem to be the only one of these tevin fans that would admit that he lost it not completely but for the most part you had to be the first person i seen to just face fact

  • @calebbasped lets not insult him. he does not sound like trey songz.

  • Wow!! I am asian and I know this guy is for real. I think he would sound much better without all the dancer around him pretending to sing.

  • Trey Songz was very talented way back then

  • @RowlexEnterprise

    He's still talented. I've just seen him perform as seeweed in hairspray. In australia.

  • this is the same key as the album and he is hitting some of the notes.........impressive

  • He was on the Monique Show few months ago and he sounded just the same. You can't keep a great voice down, no matter what! Tevin was born to sing. I wish he was white, because then he'd still be singing.

  • @Seetdeh an wth does white have to do with him still singing????? And he wouldn't be tevin if he was white, sorry to burst ya bubble.

  • @POPJack1717

    I was not referring to his voice, I was speaking to the culture between white and black, and how both go about treating artistes who may happen to be gay. Tevin most recent stint was in the Broadway production of Hairspray and that is a predominantly white audience. It is known that the R&B culture is not so receptive of gay artistes which is why Billy Porter is virtually unknown to the R&B audience, though an amazing singer. He would be Tevin because he'd be the only Tevin known.

  • @Seetdeh name one white person who can sing like this lol

  • I agree

  • My FAVORITE fuckin singer EVER, I LOVE YOU TEVIN, Where can we find real music now a days ? NO WHERE i guess Ill just watch old tevin campbell videos FOREVER <3333

  • @gbabyy19 i so agree no real music now a days

  • His voice is amzing

  • aww shit ain't NOTHIN more 90's than the sweatshirt tied around the waist haha

  • YES! Takes me back! Did I see a dancer from one of Brandy's videos on this? Tevin was one of my first crushes as a kid! I loved him and was going to marry him! HaHa! Great performance! I remember the white girl! She was a good dancer! HaHa! Man, I miss those days!

  • My fav. performance hands down!. I watch this vid almost everyday!.

  • who cares about his orientation!Just enjoy the music!Damn.

  • I remember this song but I didn't know he sang it. Sing boy!

  • im wondering if he gonna make a movie bout his life??? That would be cool!!! I love this song so much!!! I was like 3 or 4 years old!!!!

  • OMG used to love this song!!! Great!

  • he sound like a bitch lmao! he can't sing live

  • @daverayr2 hi Usher, I mean daverayr2... you ain't fooling anyone with your jealousy

  • @islezeus shut your gay ass up lol

  • @daverayr2 actually, by visiting your profile I realized you look like one of those gay thugs who troll dick at night

  • @islezeus by visiting your profille i realized your gay just like tevin campbell is lol so stop fucking writting me go suck a AIDS dick or something and die bitch

  • @daverayr2 And you know the gays ones, don't ya? How you doin' sweetie

  • @islezeus it aint hard to tell you a gay faggot....now stop writting me get a life

  • @daverayr2 actually I'm not gay, however I am gay friendly and not a homophobe... when someone who looks like a performer in a gay thug porno calls someoone else a faggot, claims how easy it is to tell someone is gay and go watch a video of someone he considers a gay faggot and then post that person is a gay faggot; then that says how gay that person is.

    Lemmie guess you like to receive?

  • @islezeus my girl was watching this video and i posted a comment on it so shut ya gay ass up lol go take a dickk up the ass leave me alone

  • @daverayr2 your 'girl' or your fag hag? Ok so you took the time to post on a video about a gay guy your 'girl' was watching? Hahaha, stop incriminating yourself, my gay nigga, LMAO!!!!

  • @islezeus i dont have to explain shit to you so stop writtin me before shit get real...take ya gay ass some where

  • @islezeus im not responding to your gay no singing ass no more lol i seen ya gay ass videos on your page...you never gone make it so stop it lol you keep talking shit imma find you and beat the shit out of you

  • @daverayr2 You gonna find me? I don't want you, man. I don't do guys, so you're DEFINITELY not my type.

  • he was a vocal monster. WOW.

  • i love him

  • This baby gives me chills just listening to his vocals. This baby is a one of a kind. I actually mean that.

  • Omg!!! This song is the Best!! Go Tevin :D

  • This is so good!!! No autotone...No lip-syncing...No singing over pre-recorded "live" track. (a-la Good Morning America) Miss him!!!

  • DAMN U SANG DA HELL OUT DIS SONG! I LOVE TEVIN!!!

  • DAYUM!!! the boy can sing....

  • I wish I was older in the 90s so I could remember how fun they were.

  • I really do think this guy had that "it" factor. Maybe not personality wise, but musically (his voice alone) are almost comparable to the greats like Luther Vandross, Steve Perry (yes, steve Perry from Journey), Alexander O'Neal, and El Debarge.

    Prince and Michael Jackson can/could sing their asses off but they were more about the showy aspect of the music industry than actual vocal prowess.

    But this man, especially as young as he was, could BLOW, but Mariah Carey OWNED the 90s. (cont).

  • tevin was that guy love his singing

  • @youneedhead Visit him at his youtube page "TevinTV".

  • good performance ! tevin campbell kan fuckinq sinq !

  • And I miss hearing people that can sing. Nowadays the ones that are known can't sing for shit but have good songs and the unknown ones that can sing have horrible songs. Why can't people be able to sing AND have good songs these days? You either get one or the other. SHAME. I'm so glad we have youtube.

  • tight remins me of jr high the good oll days

  • tight ....remins me of jr high

  • Last summer i saw him in the o2 in London and he still can hit those high notes...

    Tevin still rocks and many todayz artist can learn from him...

  • He Was Too Sexy In The Video He Made For This !

  • i love you so much and you are the best

  • Excellent

  • sooooo much talent!!!!! and sooooo damn sexy!!!! love you tevin!

  • He needs to come back. He was thrust into money and groupies at such a young age. So, he was curious and experimented. He just went about it the wrong way. I love his honesty!!!! So talented!!!! Just a kid!!!!!

  • man this sing his ass off. and stop bashing usher. he can sing too so give him some props or don't say anything at all. dang always got to compare. just enjoy the video.

  • RJ, Chris Brown, Usher and the others CAN'T DO IT LIKE THIS, Sorry!

  • @islezeus

    I don't even know why you included RJ and Chris Brown. We all know they asses can't sing even in the least bit. TEVIN IS THE TRUTH. He has the best male voice ever. He put them all to shame could out sing any male. And he did it with ease and no screaming or overdoing it.

  • Tevin Campbell is an EXTRAORDINARY SINGER!!!!!!!

  • SING TEVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! look ma, no AUTO TUNES

  • micheal jackson of d 90's--------- i love the dancin too,,,, a real classic :)

  • @Lilc1982 actually he's more of a male Whitney Houston of the 90s

  • Still a classic. No singers now can touch him!

  • smooth jams!!

  • usher could never touch this ..

  • Tevin was that nigga back in the day!!!!! I CANT WAIT FOR HIS RETURN!!!!!

  • That scandal totaly distroyed Tevin and he must have cryed so much. I cryed. The scandal pathed the way for Usher to take over. if it didnt happen Usher would have been long forgotten for sure because in them days it was about the singing and Tevin could really actually sing it was like comparing Whitney houston with Missy elliot. Those days are over i guess and i hope Tevin is ok with himself now. love you Tev

  • @ukblk121 sorry to bring up bad memories for you, but what was the scandal?

  • @ukblk121

    Usher can sing too, But his vocals cant match up to Ushers! Tevin's tone is amazing.

  • @ukblk121

    Usher can sing too, But his vocals cant match up to *Tevin's! Tevin's tone is amazing

  • @ukblk121 another usher hater i see give him his fuckin credit bitch hes a multi talented artist who can sing dam well

  • @code187G lol lol that was funny and ofcourse you just dont seem to get it. your free to like who you want and if you like Usher then more power to you it's not about hating on anyone it's about facts like Whitney is better than Mariah but some would disagree because they too don't really get it so like i said your free to like who you like ok your a consumer

  • @ukblk121 im not saying u cant say tevins better but give usher his respect he deserves hes better than alot and in 2010 usher would sing circles around tevin

  • @code187G your obviously not a singer are you lol

  • @ukblk121 they are on a song together secret garden its usher robin thicke and tevin campbell you should hear it its cool

  • @code187G LOL! You haven't heard Tevin live recently have you? Usher can sing, but Tevin's voice is an instrument. Please listen to his new material, go to Tevintv in your youtube search engine and look up his performances in Hairspray on Broadway. He's a literal powerhouse.

  • @Craverofchocolate He was on Monique last night. And sounded awesome!

  • @Tornado1994 Yeah, I had to watch it online because I totally missed it. He looks great and seems like a very positive person.

  • @code187G check Tevins performance on Monique May 21 2010

  • @bito2183 Yup. He sounds exactly the SAME!

  • @ukblk121 wat scandal destroyed Tevin's career?

  • @iluvme0123 It was the 1999 scandal- he was arrested in West hollywood for soliciting lewd acts to male cop and what made it even worse was that the cop was undercover trying to solve a prostitution antics that were taking place in the area.......

    So when the news broke out the next day- His career went down and the funny thing is he was in the middle of filming two films

    Still... I like him and he is a FANTASTIC singer

  • dfgth

  • @dillydally58 He's on Twitter now..he says he still tours and is working on new album with new record label.

  • @yokeelee He's also on youtube. His user name is "TevinTV".

  • @Tornado1994 Cool..thanks 4 info.

  • wow!!!! this was my first dance job :)

  • dang i wasnt old enough to listen him back then in the past. but he could sing with ease! , i love this live performance :)

  • such an inspiration!!! every1 go check mine out i kno you'll enjoy it!!

  • When was this shot? Sure time has passed, but he still brings it live....Thanks for sharing this with the world.

  • his voice got deep so he could not sing like he sang in the video but he still sounds great

  • I watch this everyday. Tevin is one of the best singers ever!!!!

  • he sings so effortless! love dis man!

  • effortlessly that is

  • Still sounds great. Gotta love these flash back tunes. Brings back some memories. Good moves too! Look at them overalls and hair do's. 90's for realz.

  • He sounds great and looks cute!

  • LOL well, to tell the truth, I like the recorded version better.

  • Ahh yes, "The Old School," where ppl could sing, speak english and had actual musical talent. Will we ever see those days again?

  • we wont :-/

  • very very impressive performance! I knew he could sing, but not this- certainly not live! Wow, I don't anybody out there who sounds this good live- not usher, beyonce, or alicia. His vocals are amazing!

  • Check out Craig DAVId live. he's the best!

  • @Meshflesh20- he sounds good, but he is no tevin campbell. He just doesn't have that soulfulness in his voice. He is more of a pop singer more than anything.

  • There are still some good ones out there, Stokley Williams from Mint Condiion incredible vocalist one of the best I've ver seen! May sound ever better in concert!

  • @dredgreat- Stokley is a bad boy! I love his voice. But I meant those who are more or less famous or popular. Tevin in this vid just sounds amazing! And soulful. The only one out there that sounds this good, while still maintaining that soulful sound, is probably alicia keyes.

  • dont forget raheem devaughn, john legend, anthony hamilton, rashaad patterson, chrisette michele, ledisi, and jill scott.

  • @olsskolsoul- yeah they sound good, but other than hamilton, I'm really not into the music of those other guys, esp. john legend. Good music just not my style.

  • You are so correct,music has went to hell in a hand basket! the whole entire mainstream is corrupt,if that wasn't so people like him and Rashaad Patterson would be on top!

  • @dredtgreat- yeah, I agree, homie. Thank God we still got Youtube. That old good stuff will never die now! Honestly, don't really even watch the new stuff that much; just the stuff I see on youtube. I stlll like some of the new artists though, just not that many.

  • He killed this performance for real

  • SAAAANGGGGGGG!!!!!! Usher nem can't touch this!

  • @JoeHolte YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN!!!

  • @JoeHolte Honestly what does Usher and nem have to do with this video? Do you know how to not judge and compare or are you to busy thinking of the next judgment and comparison you can come up with. I do agree with you, but honestly what is that to say out loud unless you are trying to start a war between the two fans. Grow up.

  • @JoeHolte haha nem

  • LOVE this sooong ! love his performnce..love old school jams = )

  • U GOT DAT RIGHT

  • the jam !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Natural and effortless!

  • That's real R@B

  • goosebumps.. tevin!

  • PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A RONi iS??

  • i was thinking the same thing i think roni is a girl im not sure because michael jackson says tenderroni (its a made up word)

  • Bobby Brown had whole song about that...... look it up, he describes exactly what a tenderroni is

  • ayo if u notice in this video his changed a little probly into how it was on back to the world but this shit seem more effortless by like it seems like he hit the notes with more ease..

  • thats true. He was belting out without any fear or hesitation. This is my favorite live performance of this song "that I have seen at least".

  • lol tenderoni aka roni

  • @macbeatriz a young girl.

  • the thing about a roni she's a sweet ole girl, about the sweetest lil girl in the whole wide world. Make the toughest homeboy fall deep in love....she's a special kinda girl that makes her daddy feel proud, you know the type of girl that stands out in crowds. lmao. lmao. That's a Roni shorty doo wap! hahaha

  • Tevin you make a grown man want to cry. Reminiscing about old skool, REAL sheeit!!!

  • i love his music he so sexy too

  • too much talent for one man

  • that's what you call singin. i don know whats up with all these other mother luvers in rappers tryna sing a oldies but goodies song.

    an get an award for it. lol nice video though.

  • i kno he gained fans from his appearance on the BET awards in 2009

  • He is such a talented singer and really belts out those notes in this performance. His vocal range is impressive for his age in this clip. Personally i think he should be producing albums again as he still has a strong fan base, he should make light of what happened a few years back and show how he can over-come certain events life throws at you.

  • Cool performance. Where is he now??
