Why I feel like people were hating on him in the crowd lol it's not an act. He was raised in a black neighborhood and went to a black church. You are the product of your environment
I recently saw him in concert and met him and he's amazing, humble, and appreciative of his fans and respects musicianship!! And he's pure soul and all about making pure music for the love of it and not the numbers.
I remember this performance and had it on tape. I kept cringing and rewinding back to 2:40 because he forgot the words to They Don't Know. What he said was "You should know by now that sh-n-sh-ay-nuh" instead of "that it's gonna take a lot of trust from you for us to make it through" It's ok, Apollo is a tough crowd and makes people nervous! I still love him.
I can tell you what was wrong with the audience. He is white from Rhode Island and the crowd was black. They just didn't know how to respond or act because up until that point, Jon was the first white cat that really had soul and swag.
@@hudsonhaverford1319 Ever hear of Lisa Stansfield? She was on this show in 1989 and the audience went nuts for her. Not only is she white, but also British.
Just cause he don't look black people assume he's acting. Its the same if an Asian or a hispanic grew up in a black neighborhood. Or in a Polynesian neighborhood. You adapt that into the person you become. I don't see color here I see passion and talent. Much love and respect to Jon B ✌💝
me personally i like this performance ,he did hit some nice notes and did some nice vocal runs especially the vocal at 0:18 - 0:23 that vocal run was nice In My Opinion , also people need to realise singing live is not always easy , its require good breathing into the diaphragm which can be quite tiring , he could of mimed but he didn't , and to make things more nerve-wracking he is singing to bare black people who just straight faced, no cheering ,no moving ,that must of felt quite intimidating , I LIKED THE PERFORMANCE AS A WHOLE he tried
HappiSushi12 IT WASN'T DRUG ADDICTION!! He just had his UNSUNG on TVONE and yes it was bad promotion and deals, but he never had a DRUG PROBLEM! He's getting ready to drop his 8th album this year. His last 2 were independent. But ALL of them were great bodies of work. If you would like to know more about him & see how much his fans love him, check me out @TeamJonB on Twitter & IG!!
HappiSushi12 where exactly in that episode did you hear him say "I smoked weed & coke"??? He said "I was drinking and smoking alot". He could've been talking about cigarettes for all we know. And when did his parents come out and say we "made" him go to rehab??? You must have the greatest sources in the world b/c no interviews, magazines, or other outlets have talked about his "Drug problem" and how he went into "rehab". That would have been topic of discussion since 08' when he came out with his 6th album. I know Jon and he's very open about his life & what has happened so you can go on somewhere with your lipstick alley information!!! Until you got some real evidence & receipts, worry bout yourself & your problems!
Nobody cares about smoking cigs it's LEGAL, almost 1/3 of the population smokes. Weed on the other hand is not. Jump to Don't talk and he says he got into drugs and drank when he became not so hot. Dude, '06 nobody cared about Jon B I haven't heard anything from the man that charted SINCE don't talk. Why are you defending Jon B? He's a grown ass man he can defend himself.
JON B. shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as Robin Thicke! No comparison. Jon did it better and it comes naturally to him. Robin thicke is a joke.
I'm gonna disagree with Robin being a joke! Robin has a lot of classic soul joints. Did Blurred Lines charting 1 R&B, 1 Pop go to Robin's head? Absolutely! (that's why he's now single! LOL!). But cuts like 'Love You More', 'Lost Without You', 'Magic', 'Love After War', etc., did put Robin's stamp on soul music! Both Thicke and Jon B are the joint!
That's so disrespectful....his wife is beautiful and she has been with him through thick and thin, I'm glad he didn't pick anyone in the industry who would have been fake love🤔...I love them together 11 years and counting
lakeysha landry 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Right? HE likes her! And BTW, does anybody think any of these Hollywood celebrities look the same way without the hair, makeup and lighting? Everybody looks pretty normal without all of that - not that there’s anything wrong with that!
way better!! Robin thicke sounds like he has no balls. Out of all the male blue eyed singers he's my favourite and then Michael McDonald, Daniel Merriweather and Tyler James is next.
Wow! People are so sensitive! I guess there are some Robin groupies on this page! Why are people suddenly dick-riding Robin Thicke!!! Seriously?? He has subpar vocals at best but I guess when most people have nothing else to choose from... smh -___- Your list of singers is good though. I'd add Michael Kiwanuka, Kwabena (kwabs) , Alfie and Daley from the UK. All four are decent singers. But I think I like Kwabena better than Tyler now. ;) He got the soul!! His did an awesome cover of brown sugar.
thank you I got voted down because I guess my words were to brash!! But seriously he's so basic!!! Yet people are praising him now that he has a hit. His music bores me...... I prefer 1. John b, 2.Tyler James, 3.Alfie, 4.Daniel Merriweather over *cough* whiny voice Robin anyday. Robin can go back to obscurity and take rachet miley with him LMAO!!! His wife is pretty though and a good actress. The only thing I respect about Robin is that he actually dates a half black women... unlike Justin.
Classic rnb music. He sings like a spazz though. Sounds forced to sing simple notes. I'm not impressed by his voice. He is a great song writer and sang them well in the studio. Just doesn't sound well live to me. He's attractive but get off his vocal nuts.
Of course Robin sing way better, more smooth and sexy. Plus Jon is out of tune here sometimes. Jon is great writer, but not live perfomer in my opinion.

They slept on this talented Brother. Jon B is a talent.
Some of us never did ❤❤❤❤
DAMN! This crowd was dead and he was singing his ass off!
He forgot the lyrics😂
I remember this performance and had it on tape. I kept cringing and rewinding back to 2:40 because he forgot the words to They Don't Know. What he said was "You should know by now that sh-n-sh-ay-nuh" instead of "that it's gonna take a lot of trust from you for us to make it through" It's ok, Apollo is a tough crowd and makes people nervous!

Lol he use to mess up alot back then lol.. that’s why he will tell u he rather write for ppl instead of himself.. fire tho
This young man was good, what the heck was wrong with the audience. A bunch of old logs.
Yaeger Stewart cuz he's white
I can tell you what was wrong with the audience. He is white from Rhode Island and the crowd was black. They just didn't know how to respond or act because up until that point, Jon was the first white cat that really had soul and swag.

@@BreannaMae Have I ever heard of Lisa Stansfield!?!?! Are you kidding me?!? I had her first two albums as a kid. She was awesome!!
@@hudsonhaverford1319 what u are saying is invalid. What he is doing doesnt move them. Its harlem.
The crowd was just feeling him out they gave him real good applause after they accepted him
they showed him plenty of love. They were just sitting back and enjoying the show
I remember the summer these songs came out, thats all you heard on the radio. They both still my jams.
Always a fan!His albums are in my playlist!🎵🎼🎧🎤🎛🎚🎙🔊🎶
JON B FREAKING RULES !!!!!!
I agree. This is great old school. They just sit there. Love John B.!
I wish I was there! I would’ve shown so much love screaming ❤
Stand the fuck up ain’t no way I sit im rockin with you Jon classic
2017 this was real Music back in the day I hate the actual garbage we have

This audience is lame here...Jon gave a very good performance
LAME AF....
Once again I agree! I have Chasez's debut album and he is talented but overshadowed by JT's success.
jon b is sexy and can sing love him
they wasnt showing Jon b no love in this crowd..smh
The Apollo audience is notoriously tough. They were lame here to me because Jon was doing his thing. He gave a great performance as always.
damn the intro to "They don't know" was tight how they brought it in.
Nice choices my blue-eyed go to guys are Jon B., Michael McDonald, Daryl Hall, and Mick from Simply Red
Peter Cox (go west) , George Micheal, Bobby Caldwell
I loved when Steve Harvey hosted Apollo. "Show ya love"
What. Happened. To. Him. So. Talented.
Bad label, bad promotion, drug addiction.

Yes I've seen the episode twice he even said he did drugs. He smoked weed and did coke. His parents MADE him to go to rehab.

Final Sunday in May 1998 before start of June 1, 1998 on a Monday

finally someone who gets it.

+The Scatman I'm with you
Damn why you hatin' on Robin thicke?
Justin Stutler thank you!!!!
He low key messed up and missed the lyrics @ 2:40
Justyce Brown it wasn't even low key lol. He just recovered to where nobody cared
we asked for a redo but the network said no nothing was wrong clearly they hated on us
Yup!!!
That what was hot in the 90's
thanks for posting...he messed up in the beginning..i think he wass tooooo into it lol
WAY BETTER!!! I bought his 'Evolution of RT' CD. I wound up giving it AWAY!
Did he mess up his lines at the end of the 1st stanza of "They Don't Know?" 🤔
Mmmm white chocolate 😍😍😍👅
He was so fine & still is. I loved this performance & I was so annoyed by how dead the crowd was 🙄🙄🙄
That's my husband right there!!!!!!
Hold on…that was Jon b singing with Pac?? Amazing
Yesss @ the Daley reference... I personally am a music lover and I like Robin's voice, but my soul prefers Jon B.'s masculine undertones.
This is a good performance, Jon. You were kinda winded near the end, but still a good performance. Yo' lil' outfit was cute.
LaChele huh
💯
They don't know I was on Star Search
Are you still down?
after seeing a pic of his current wife, there was hope for me after all! lawd he fine
Latitia Forbes Just saw a pic of his wife from reading your comment, and she's really no looker compared to how cute he is
Lmao
Hahaha maybe she put that chocolate pudding on him and he got hypnotized
That's so disrespectful....his wife is beautiful and she has been with him through thick and thin, I'm glad he didn't pick anyone in the industry who would have been fake love🤔...I love them together 11 years and counting

I don't blame him for closing his eyes and just zoning out. No energy for him to build on 🤦🏽♂️ That's just sad
Kisses

Bad label, bad promotion, drug addiction.
HappiSushi12 NOW STOP GOING AROUND SAYING "Drug addiction"! Get your facts straight!
You first my dear
@@HappiSushi12No. Drug. Addiction!
I blame that velvet curtain reflective blazer for the audiences lack luster response.
Imma jus be quiet about the suit
😂😂😂😂
What you doing
Jon was high as a kite
...?
Jon b has black soul voice, 2012 album outs
One of the greatest R&B songs ever, in the Golden age of R&B. But he messed up the lyrics at 2:40
Ok
Size B
A line

Sings better than robin thick in my opinion
My Sprite

Tommy Gun they only show up to hate on something. How you gonna hate on magnificence.
The crowd holy shit 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Lame
Jon B did his thing 😎
Strawberry Pepsi

So
Huh
They're just sitting there. Where the fuck is Eva?

Bye
way better!! Robin thicke sounds like he has no balls. Out of all the male blue eyed singers he's my favourite and then Michael McDonald, Daniel Merriweather and Tyler James is next.
Wow! People are so sensitive! I guess there are some Robin groupies on this page! Why are people suddenly dick-riding Robin Thicke!!! Seriously?? He has subpar vocals at best but I guess when most people have nothing else to choose from... smh -___- Your list of singers is good though. I'd add Michael Kiwanuka, Kwabena (kwabs) , Alfie and Daley from the UK. All four are decent singers. But I think I like Kwabena better than Tyler now. ;) He got the soul!! His did an awesome cover of brown sugar.
naw
thank you I got voted down because I guess my words were to brash!! But seriously he's so basic!!! Yet people are praising him now that he has a hit. His music bores me...... I prefer 1. John b, 2.Tyler James, 3.Alfie, 4.Daniel Merriweather over *cough* whiny voice Robin anyday. Robin can go back to obscurity and take rachet miley with him LMAO!!! His wife is pretty though and a good actress. The only thing I respect about Robin is that he actually dates a half black women... unlike Justin.
Classic rnb music. He sings like a spazz though. Sounds forced to sing simple notes. I'm not impressed by his voice. He is a great song writer and sang them well in the studio. Just doesn't sound well live to me. He's attractive but get off his vocal nuts.
Girl, I've heard worse from white ppl tryna sing live😒🎤
Jennifer S he sounds awful
He trying very hard to sound soulful only one white singer ever came close Tina Maria
Of course Robin sing way better, more smooth and sexy. Plus Jon is out of tune here sometimes. Jon is great writer, but not live perfomer in my opinion.
Dead crowd.
this shit sounds like a cat fight
Stop
He's trying very hard to sound soulful it's just not there
