Deborah Cox & Tamia (RARE) Same Script, Different Cast

Xtreme Entertainment's Women of Soul Concert 2005 featuring Shanice, Sheila E., Chante Moore, Tamia, Deborah Cox & Kelly Price. Amazing show...but this was probably the surprise performance of the evening!!! I was standing backstage as this unfolded, unable to give props as loud and animated as I would have if I were in the audience. I love both of these women. Originally this song was performed by Whitney and Deborah, but for the rare performance, Deborah takes Whitney's part and Tamia takes what was originally Deborah's. Again, CLASSIC, TOP DIVA PERFORMANCE!!!!

Whitney couldn't dare perform this now, next to Deborah Cox.

I disagree with those saying that Tamia's voice lacks the power needed for this song. While she's not a Deborah or Whitney (just a fact; Tamia is one of my favorite artists), I do think Tamia's voice adds some realism to the song. In the original version, it sounds like two equals facing off; here, Deborah is a woman who's been through it giving advice to a less experienced woman who needs the advice, but is too young and stubborn to take it.

Just my 2 cents. I do prefer the original, though.

@Bahia82 I agree with you 100% Whitney and Deborah's duet is awesome and Tamia's voice is not powerful enough for the "drama" of this song.

[mesha23]

I love them both.That sucks that there are both VERY UNDERRATED artists.

[devonpoe]

they can blow and are both great singers, but its missing that special thing that Whitney brings to her live performances

[Bahia82]

good version, but whitney is whitney on drugs or off, lol. Tamia has a nice voice but not powerful enough for this song. but she sounds good
