      w1karl Her contributing vocals HELPED to make it the classic that it is. She sung her ass off no doubt but so did Alex. You're in denial if you say otherwise. They both are essential in this masterpiece from the 80's. I can't imagine this song without either of them. I hope that nobody tries to remake this either.

    Alexander O'Neal is one of the those artists that won't receive his flowers until he's no longer with us. And that's a TRAVESTY. He's BRILLIANT. A voice as silky as ANYONE in R&B. And still managed to have a successful career while battling his OWN demons. That makes him even more of a champion in my eyes. Thank you, King. For everything. 👑

    Fully agree with all the positive and reminiscing comments for the 80s and early 90s.
    Saw this guy in concert at The Royal Albert Hall, London in 91 (I was mid 30s) with The Pasadenas as backing and it was one of the best concerts ever in my life. That guy could groove - down in the pit, on the floor dancing with us, and in a suit which was absolutely wet through.
    When I watch this video, it reminds of a lifestyle long since gone, great times, fun times, nightclubs, attractive sexy women, no tattoos, no mobile phones, just fun fun and more fun - Where did that life go to? -- Look at the disaster of today!
    And the present day youth, what a complete and utter waste of space most of them are!!!!

    Criticize - Alexander O'NEAL - Criticize is a song written by Alexander O'NEAL and Jellybean JOHNSON and released on Wednesday 23 September 1987. It was the second single from Alexander O'NEAL's second solo album Hearsay - 1987. The song's distinctive background vocals were performed by Lisa KEITH. Following the successful chart performances of the Hearsay single Fake the song Criticize was released as the album's second single. This is just absolutely one of my most favourite songs from the 1980s. The musical quality of 1987 just rocks the stage and just beats 2021 by lightyears. ;)
    Criticize - Alexander O'NEAL
    [Chorus]
    Don't just close your mind
    Ooh ooh
    You don't realize
    I just want what is right
    Still you say
    Criticize
    Can't you find something else to talk about?
    Is this song the only one you sing?
    Makes you look better when you put things down
    Value your opinion
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Don't criticize my friends
    Criticize my ideas
    Don't criticize my lifestyle
    I'm fed up 'cause all you wanna do is criticize
    [Chorus]
    Don't just close your mind
    Ooh ooh (Criticize, yeah)
    You don't realize (All you wanna do is criticize)
    I just want what is right
    Still you say
    Criticize
    Now can't we start this over?
    'Cause your conversation ain't right
    We can make our love stronger
    You don't have to think twice
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Don't criticize my friends
    Criticize my ideas
    Don't criticize my lifestyle
    I'm fed up 'cause all you wanna do is criticize
    [Chorus]
    Don't just close your mind
    Ooh ooh (Criticize, yeah)
    You don't realize (All you wanna do is criticize)
    I just want what is right
    Still you say

    Still you say
    Criticize
    [Break]
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Don't criticize my motive
    Criticize my feeling
    Don't criticize my business
    I'm fed up 'cause all you wanna do is criticize
    [Chorus]
    Don't just close your mind
    Ooh ooh (Criticize, yeah)
