Mercedes Boy (Live)

[bee52mitch]

To all the comments about lipsyncing, do viewers prefer to see a lipsyncing effort by the actual singers of a song as compared to just a pictorial representation of the song?

[MrTrackfreek]

WHERE'S BAM BAM?

[nufulu]

i love her big hair,the 80s and mid 90s were great for many reasons and music was one of them

[laman4tv]

that male dancer is a transsexual woman now

[inaj27]

@laman4tv omg whats her trans name? i wanna see! lol

[laman4tv]

@laman4tv I forgot her name, she lives in Hollywood and works as a painter... if you Google Mercedes boys dancer transsexual.. there are a couple pages about her. I met her she looks beautiful.. older now of course but a very elegant and sexy looking woman

[TheArfdog]

aww SHIT!!

[moukhtalif]

what a beauty !

[kim24may]

Can you believe that guy dancing w/ Pebbles is now a woman?????????????

[Skyler1206]

Lol, I love it!

[TheLanard]

The only times I saw her sing live, and not lip-syncing, was on the Apollo and Arsenio Hall. I wish there were more live performances, without lip-syncing.

[northernstudio]

full-playback. nice hair though.

[clarkkent502]

yea she looks good but wtf is up wit that hair and that fit? lol gotta love the 80's....

[FASTONE63]

BEYONCE KNOWLES WOULDN`T LASTED 2 VIDS. IN THE 80s!

[FASTONE63]

TIGHT WORK!

[HeDreamzOfMe]

OMG i just downloaded pebbles LOL...irony : )

[papi420chulo]

THE BEYONCE OF THE 80's BABY!!!!!!!

[Not4Games]

Pebbles was a real artist with real appeal,beauty,grace & she reached alot more than just a ghetto gay audience like Beyonce, don't insult her. Pebbles had white,black,latino, straight, gay,young, old, PLEASE, get out of here. When has Beyonce EVER looked THIS GOOD? LOL

[papi420chulo]

You're an Asshole! @ Not4Games

[Not4Games]

@papi420chulo, U r too stupid to realize that I am also a fan or Rudy's & was on no way trying to diss him/her by calling him her, because if u knew anything u would've heard that he said he was MISERABLE as a man & that is the reason he has a sex change, so he obviously wanted to be remembered as a woman & let go of the past, now you FUCK OFF, ignorant asshole, I know transgendered ppl & that's how THEY like it, they don't go through all that to be still be called HE, He is for a Chaz Bono

[papi420chulo]

WTF Are you talking about? IDK WTF your problem is. I dont care that that dancer wanted to be a tranny! My best friend is a tranny! So, it sounds like maybe you need to take a break from trying to punk people on youTube. You sound like a ghetto gay queen just in the way you post stupid things. Get a life you OLD queen.

[Not4Games]

@papi420chulo Ok I see that you're everything u just mentioned a BITTER OLD QUEEN, dumb ass hoe,I'm everything u & your tranny bestfriend want to be. YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL& FEMALE, u stupid ass hoe, that's what u get for being presumptuous. Why did u bother coming on here & choosing my name, we have NOTHING in common, but don't answer let me tell u why u chose me, most gay men ADMIRE me, look up to & love the fact that I'm strong & don't take shit, every now & then a JEALOUS one like u get's CATTY

[papi420chulo]

OK. YOU'RE CRAZY. BYE NOW!

[evilfelicia1]

Her hair is HUGE! Like the song though.

[acecashexpress]

That was my jam in the 11th grade in Detroit, they played this song so much if you didn't like would becuz they played on pop stations the remix edit version and the r&b stations played the long remix, it was the hottes song of 1988 for real, plus the women was beautiful she really is, just bad. Way better looking than beyonce natural beauty. Do you wanna ride!

[fuckingharpsichord]

perfect808bell

[roguecds]

Rudy the dancer got to strut his stuff with JANET, PEBBLES, SHEENA EASTON, JODY WATELY lol...I thought that man was so fine. RIP

[Not4Games]

Do you know the whole story on Rudy? ... I mean are you familiar with the whole sex change, then death & all that? If so holla back, because I LOVED his work & his beautiful face, it's sooo sad how it all ended after he got his wish to be a woman, what a life of torment. I was really hoping for a happy ending.

[papi420chulo]

WHAT!?!

[roguecds]

so many early saturday mornings watchin' The SOUL TRAAAAAAAIN LOL...

[Bonnie79]

this was my shit and I was only like 8!lol

[discoprescription]

i love you pebbles!

girlfriend and giving you the benefit

[fagarass]

I also loved all 3 songs your mentioned! Those were some hot songs from Pebbles!

[ICEGOD2]

Before 106 & Park, there was Soul Train. I remember as a kid in Detroit Saturdays at Noon this came on and it was the shit.

[RJupiter2]

Pebbles is hot! No doubt! She has a look similar to Halle Berry while singing and struttin her beautiful bod on stage! It's just too much! Cold shower time!

[thalialuvmx]

i love this song!!!!!! Ilm only 21 and my dad was like "J, whatchu know about pebbles?" ahahahahaha old folks :)

[zurii]

can't get over the fact that Rudy Houston is a woman now.Dad a crush on hin since "wot hav u done 4 me lately" video.Man oh man!!!!

[ElectricBluePetroil]

This music was the best. But unfortunately, the musical culture of the hot-blooded and vibrant 80s faded into that of the abysmal and flareless 90s.

[zava34]

she is so beautiful

[RAWKEE]

the only problem i have wth ths is.... how the fuck... do u LIPSYNC 1 of the easiest songz to sing n the world?? smh... every1 else back thn.. sang!

[Nikelea]

@RAWKEE Not on Soul Train. More often than not artists didn't get to sing live.

[MysteryBoyzTV]

Every one wih a few exceptions sung live on Soul Train, American Band Stand and other shows such as this format. Going to thier concerts and paying would when you get to see and hear them live

[cjezell]

PEBBLES HAD A MEAN SWAGGER!

[shoisty]

That dude has some moves!!!

[virgin454]

the guy performing with her is in all of Janet Jacksons vids too. he was hott

[solesirching73]

Yes, his name was Rudy Houston - but then a few years later, he had a sex change. Yes, it's true. Saw his "new look" on one of Sally Jessy Raphael episodes.

[virgin454]

i loved Pebbles. never realized how much she looks like Beyonce until now

[Zeebo89]

wow thats soooo true!!!

[luvablek]

oh nooo..they do favor..but Pebbles is just STUNNING!!!

[gretz13]

Pebbles was so funny when her (overweight) son came on MTV my sweet 16 and showed cd's to the camera saying: this is my mum in the 80's, she run to the camera and quickly said: 90's.... hahahaha it was the 80's babe and yes you are older hahah

[Zeebo89]

is that vid online? Id like to see it

[gretz13]

I am sorry, MTV don't like youtube and won't allow there stuff on this channel, but it must be shown on my super sweet 16 reruns. LA Reids kid

[roguecds]

they keep Yanking it! And its not this version of the song anyway its a remix, theres like 5 versions of this and "Girlfriend", and "Do Me Right"

[hendog59]

Pebbles jams.

[RJupiter2]

Pebbles beauty is more striking than Beyonce's. In my opinion. Yet both are so HOTTTT! Thanks for this classic post!

[dblbeats]

Yea I agree she is more beautiful than beyonce..I mean both are Hot but pebbles is the GIRL you dream of meeting

[RJupiter2]

I agree 100%! Now that I've watch this video again, I see a Halle Berry similarity with Pebbles! Which is even hotter!

[drewali7]

ill tear that pussy uuuuuuuuuuup!!!!!

[Azone01]

I hear u on that one, but too bad LA already did and 2 bad I'm 17 years younger than her!!

[lovedog49507]

I wanna ride

[Mailman89014]

Wow!!!!!

[linainverse5]

i love this song

[SFFOOL76]

Pebbles is all that and fresh hot salsa ta boot!

[qolspony]

This song is 20 years old today. March 13, 1988.

[childkiss]

The guy in the clip appeared on Sally Jesse Raphael and d turned into a girl.

Actually, he looked like Toni Braxton after he had his sex change.

Brother was hot both ways.

[lorimneal]

ah snap! i'm glad i'm not the only one who saw that. did you read he committed suicide a few years back?

[Not4Games]

Well he or should I say she is no longer with us, but he really was amazing while he was here.

[breezycomicalqt]

Sexy but also Classy

[marlborored100s]

PEBBLES IS HOTT HOTT HOTT!!!

[ssmprincess06]

no he didnt say nappy dugout...I havent heard that phrase since childhhod

[cleglide]

Bring her around her to me! When I finish hitting that nappy dugout, she will be ready to get down with some funk again. She makes Beyounce look sad.

[chattaboxxxx07]

i saw dis on the best of soul train

[09181975]

Pebbles was, and still is soooo BEAUTIFUL & TALENTED!!!! Too bad she doesn't she doesn't want to do POP MUSIC anymore!!!! She's "reborn" again!!!!! But she was BADDDDD!!!!!

[siren84]

yeah they're really hot both ! And I think they were friends at the time cuz Paula Abdul mentioned Pebbles in her special thanks in her "forever your girl" album

[siren84]

sounds like Paula Abdul early material ! mercedes mey-mey-mey mercedes mey-mey_mey mercedes ...

[MCRETR0]

That was the 80's man, get used to it!

[lorimneal]

pop quiz - How many of ya'll know that Rudy Houston later on in life had a sex change and then killed him/herself? trip!

[sonnyandemily07]

i knew he dance with janet jackson on control

[wagrailroad]

Really???

[breezycomicalqt]

Wow i heard about the sex change, but i also heard he died of aids or killed himself because of it.

[ThatBearHasMoxie]

I love this song and USED to like Pebbles until she got greedy with TLC and almost caused the demise of the group. She was their manager and she was just "wrong" what she did to that group.

[lele89119]

GET OVER IT. PEBBLES ROX

[noahsarcooo]

relax duuh!they are very different!

[ThatBearHasMoxie]

You get over it. What she did was wrong and you know it. Watch the bio on TLC and see if you "get over it" when you hear what she did.

[NphaseMedia1]

Pebbles proved in court she did not wrong TLC. she was awarded over a million 4 damages of her character & royalties 4 the first 2 albums she was a part of.

[bosnose]

There's nothing to get over. Pebbles proved in court she did no wrong doing The bio is not valid & does nt prove she did any wrong doings..... so you get over it.

[ThatBearHasMoxie]

That's not how TLC played it out so get your facts straight and get over that Pebbles used them, and threw them away when they she didn't get what she wanted.

[bosnose]

With all due respect my facts R correct. a court of law proved no wrong doing. You are so wrong about her throwing them away, she loves TLC to this day from her words.. this shows you how media and lies can damage.. proving court records are the fact tellme where are you getting your info from against that I have provided?

[univgurl]

Same thoughts here.

[love80smussic]

love it, thanks for sharing, but can u tell me how do you appload videos? from where do you find? thanks

[09181975]

Pebbles was the BOMB!!!! She's still FIERCE!!!!!!

[noahsarcooo]

jody watley is way better !!!!

[lele89119]

WHY BRING HER UP

[noahsarcooo]

why not...andre ceymone was part of pebbles album too and u can hear the inluence on both debut albums...but jody was around the same time and is still around today...she had her 9th nr. one dance hit last week !

[MCRETR0]

They're both hot!

[haileyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I feel 17 again. God its great!

[noahsarcooo]

me too !

can u see me dance ?

LOL

[acecashexpress]

LOOK AT MY GIRL!!!! Boy she was hot!!back in the day! We loved her in Detroit! She still looks like this today.

[09181975]

She was (and still is) one of the most sexiest and talented women in pop/R&B music...regardless of the fact that she decided to become "reborn" again. She will always be an inspiration to me as a singer.

[wagrailroad]

She has Sanjaya hair!!

[maatspear]

LMAO on the Sanjaya comment!

[wagrailroad]

That's the guy from the video...

[wagrailroad]

Thank you!!

[bosnose]

Thank you for posting this!! I have waited about 18 years this see this soul train performance. To this day Mercedes Boy is still my favorite song by one of my favorite artist.. I missed this when it aired please keep this posted.

[aerobiclust]

this is truly heavenly...take me there NOW!

[blaqice88]

They showed this performance about 4 weeks ago on "The Best Of Soul Train". and I MISSED IT! Until now....

[roguecds]

That actually was a pretty "sexually-charged" performance for her? Good one though, glad I finally got to see it. Thanks for posting..

[misstoi]

Thanx! cool performance.
