The voice. The looks. Lawd! Take me back to the 80's please!
I think obsessed with the 80s. 🥰
Yes
oh yes!
please leave a place for me too....
Me too
I love this so much the music the voice. I am stuck in the 80's
Still listening in 2024 from the Uk 🎉❤
Same here😂❤
I was into it when it first came out and still into it in 2024. From Hampshire Uk!
Yall got class 👏🏼
Still listening 2024 from GERMANY 🙂
Still a banger.....club classic
Alexander O’Neil is so underrated
😔word .
In America
No...he underrated himself with crack ... so sad .
His music was underrated. It's funny the older I get, the more I realise what great songs he put out. This song never gets old.
Not really. Have all his albums. Found his music in 90s I was 16. But he is known out if country more. No doubt
It's Lisa Keith's beautiful and heartfelt backing vocals that make this song the classic it is!
w1karl I always thought it was the female vocalists track until recently!
Totally agree
Amazing!
She should've been in the video! she was amazing back in the day! she's done vocal work that I didn't even realize was her!
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.
I’m leaving this comment here, so after a week or a month when someone likes it, I get reminded of this masterpiece!
I agree😊
you're welcome ;-)
Legend has it, she still wants to criticize…
Absolutely
Listening this memorial day Monday 9/2/2024
Lexington service plaza Massachusetts time 5:34 pm
I cant believe it
Shocking that this song didn't make it to the number one spot when it was released back in September '87
Absolute soul classic 🙌 ✨️
Fake was another good by Alexander o'neal
1987 masterpiece ✨️
The lady drummer is very good 👍
Brilliant backing vocals 👏 👌
Sunshine is my favourite from him ,
The lady on the drums is not just bloody good , but that smile is Amazing❤😂😊👍 .
O the memories from back in the day. And now several decades latter , well the less said the better in many ways. 😂😁😏.
It Is Number 1 No Matter What They Say
A.J.Johnson(House Party,Baby Boy) on the keyboards looking delicious as usual.You never know who will pop up in these videos from back in the day!!!
Wow, I never knew that.
holy shit! never knew that! thx
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. 👑
He's still alive
@@EarthwormShandy Which is exactly why I said “won’t receive his flowers until he’s no longer with us.”
FACTS!!
I know. He's really great! He has alot of fantastic songs.
Alexander O'Neal was the man in the 80's
Dont forget luther
@@TheJamesm1980 ...definitely not....
I remember this song all too well.....bought the record as soon as it came out
Brother Dee Tv Michael Jackson was the man of the 80 hands down, left everyone behind in his sparkling ✨ dust
@@JoJo-sc1db mainstream ho!
Hands up if you still listening to this in 2019 !!
Oh yes!!!💖
Trying to bank on the likes given to the same post in 2018 lol quality
True that*****
Always!!!
Oh yeah :)
Awesome backing vocals 👏 👏 👏
Lisa Kieth is amazing
They make the song for me.
Real women.. Real bodies... Real music!!!
True that******
Absolutely agree with you on all counts!!
Amen to that!
Real talk
Absolutely... Yum yum.
That baseline and those drums are why you will never convince me modern music is better than this. Such an awesome jam!
Hopefully music like this will come back en masse one day!
Word!
Of course classic
@@fezziwig184 Here we go with the "i DoNt LiStEn To Da RaDiO" crowd. Go watch the most recent Bilboard hot100 and at least 15 songs will pop up with old school sound
Absolutely correct
The 80s produced some damn good dance music 🎵 and clubbing was more fun
I'm a metalhead, this is my guilty pressure! This song is a classic! It gives me goosebumps!
This is a meaningful comment. I get that vibe that it crosses over for a lot of people.
If it sounds good no matter where’s it’s from people will like it music is universal
I totally get that
Same here
Welcome to the real dark side 😅👏🏼💪🏾
May 1,2019 and it’s still hitting. Anyone else agree?
Timeless 🙏🏻
Yes!!!
yeahhhhh yeahhhhh
More than a bloody hit
Mr1967mejias 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just timeless Quality! Always makes me smile 😊 . Isnt talent like this anymore.
I swear those were the days!! There will never be an era like the 80’s. Everyone on this thread were much younger and felt like we ran the world.. The reality is that we all were happier.. Oh boy how I miss the 80’s
Im happy i was in there,what a Time that was😍😍😍😍😍
Come again please bring that shit back all the way back to the 80's Damn I wish wish for a dream💯‼
Exactly we all miss Awesome 80's dude. I was a kid just 6 years back in 1987 but boy i started loving 80's music in 1992. Respects from India.
This was actually PARTY MUSIC that made EVERYONE feel like dancing ALL night long...,. I so miss these times
💯
nothing to criticize here: awesome song and a lot of natural beauty on display.
En plus toujours accompagné de bombes atomiques quel glamour ces femmes je suis fou d'elles ❣️🌹🥂🇨🇵🇺🇲
30 years on, still exceptional
Andrew Myers Lololo no 30 at least. I have the original album.
Big Tunes big songs Big singers love the 80s wish I could turn back the clock
Facts 💯%
How old are you ?
@@TheYoli182 BIG TUNE..🤗🤗🤗
Alexander O'Neal is under recognize, he is one of the greatest talents of the past
Real music Real voice only one Alexander O'Neil
2019 and still classic
Am i the only one whos spirit is still in the 80's??? Dammm!!🤗
Marten Lynch ,nope,I’m with ya.
Mine will always be in the early mid 80's
Makes the two of us
💖💫
Born in the 80s. Still love this xxxx
An absolute killer on the dance floor.
80s world was a better place.!
Killer drums, terrific bassline and sweet vocal.
In past we had quality music, now we have shit.
THIS WORLD SUKS NOW.
Don't forget the great movies
So true ...
@@sandybeachbeach you are damn right.
There's no way you can listen to this song and not start moving, that bass line and those drums are too infectious. I would love to have a 'like new' cassette copy of this and a high end home stereo unit with big column speakers from the time. That kind of setup would rumble the whole neighborhood, hehehe. ;)
That opening from the girls is one of the best ever. Goosebumps every time.
Agree, although in fact it's just one woman singing, amazingly.
@@ajs41 Who is actually singing? Been wondering this.

@@durty504 Thanks
Perfect storm of gorgeous women , I mean all of em and particularly the drummer plus sublime music , iam hooked forever . Thxs Alex , they don’t make them like this anymore .
Gorgeous voice! He's right up there with the likes of Luther vandross💕
Alexander on vocals, Jimmy Jam Terry Lewis & Jellybean providing the music, plus Lisa Keith on background vocals....With that line-up, how can you NOT have one of the most killer tracks of the '80s?
Who's here in 2020, listening to tunes like this is getting me through the Coronavirus crisis !
A la verga el covid xd
u mean PLANdemic?
2021
2021 in Japan
23:02:2021 👍💯.
Song still sounds dope. I swear Alex needs more recognition for the hits he dropped in the 80s. When lots of artists started to go more synth and pop laced songs, Alex was still out here cranking out 🔥 pop/soul tracks and sweating like he’s Eddie Levert lol
the voice of the female singers is one of my favorite part of this song everytime i hear it i get high and an unexplainable feeling.
You aren't the only one my brother. Luther Vandross singers as well.
That would be Ms. Lisa Keith.
Lisa Keith tore the background vocals up!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
Brandon Bautista same
I know exactly what you mean.
The best eye candy all wrapped up on one video, and what a tune, still listening in 2024😊
It seems like back then every song that Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced was amazing!
Ich könnte heulen. Eine tolle Zeit und die beste Musik!😢
This is one of those songs, you literally can't get sick of.
The song is good then the hook kicks in and makes it freakin' great. I love the chords in it, the harmonies, everything.
Exactly this mate. The hook and the melody with perfect vocals and meaning full vocals at that. Just perfect.
When Music was MUSIC!!! 💯🔥❤😉✊
This needs a come back | best ever Mr O'Neal ..
Ahhh, the 80s were the best! Love the concept of the all-girl musical ensemble. Stunning!
And that was the 80s !
80s teenager still listening @age 53 June 2019 💖
46 here! Never gets old!
53 and still loving this jam ♥️
52 here and this has pretty much been at the top of my playlist since the 80s
Karen Downes Yep i am 49 the best music ever period!
You’re so luckyyyyy, i’m 16 now and i would do anything to be an 80’s teenager 😭
Look at how Beautiful & Civilized Behavior these Women are compared to what we have in the modern world today , Nothing like the Late 80's - early 90's . This may be one of the best Songs / Video's Ever ! Everything is spot on .
Still listening, 80's were ultimate.
I remember this back in 1985. Thanks for the outstanding sound quality and memories!
1987
Please bring back real singers like this. Amazing song!
Musically I'm trapped in the past, and that's just how I like it.
Nicholas Spence i too enough 80 90s music more than what we hear today and i wasn't even born during those times.
same as
I guess we are elders in music. Feels awesome
I'm there with you my friend!
me toooooooooooooo
how on earth can the crap music of today compare to this .??? if you agree thumps up...
It can not even come close to comparing
Real singing, not auto-tuned crap.
You do know people still make stuff like this right. Use your phone and go find it.
@Rowen Thomas TH-cam take ppl back into the past if they want to hear real music.
@@lildwell2 nothing compares to this music so if I go out and look for it I’ll never find anything close to this
Alexander O'neal...... All True Man......Fire!!!!
Truly it’s possible to go back to ‘80s , Age has nothing to do about it! Good music for great souls👌
My 6 year old has no idea what era this type music is from but be feeling the lot of them, jammin
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!!!!
OMG! I still love all of Alexander O'Neals music today in the USA (2024)! I rocked all of it, back in the day!!
Please lord take me back to the 80s...........
Maybe you wouldn't like it so much after all when you get over the nostalgia. You can listen to the songs made then though
I'm, along with millions more, are waiting for the time machine to go back. The cars were terrible, but the music and women were top shelf.
@@ShadowHawk4219 it seems like people are mixing their age over a year because it doesn't really matter of the year anymore to have good music and good women and it has been that way since year 1500 but you just miss the times when you were a yonger idiot partying and not doing anything smart. The 80's just wasn't really good times but they were just your childhood which you will think as good
@@ShadowHawk4219 im sure the kids nowadays are going to be nostalgic over these years on 2070 and thinking everything was better back then
$$$HIT! TIME MACHINE TAKE ME BACK 2THA '70s
one of his finest songs loved it ❤
I love this song. I'm still listening in 2024❤❤❤❤
My dad had this on repeat on his massive stereo system with the big speakers! Early 90s
Wow the women back then were really beautiful! This song was in my head, but couldn't remembered the title of this song. But remembered Alexander O'Neal voice and saw the video title and knew this was it. Brought back so many memories!!
I respect the fact he always wore suits. Way before Steve Harvey
It looks like he was positioned to be the black opposition of Robert Palmer? Great voice, classic style, awesome production. God the 80s were just the best for music...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He still dresses smart..
I'm so proud and blessed to be facebook friends with Mr Alexander O'neal... This man is a living legend.. Give him his flowers while he's here 💯💯✌💗💗
All the loving comments on this track together can't even describe what I feel when listening to "Criticize". If I'd ever be , God forbid, in a coma, I guess hearing this would be the only thing, waking me up again. ❤ ALEXANDER O'NEAL= MAGIC❤ !!!!!
GTA IV Brought me here 😞 what a golden days!
Hands up if you still listening to this in 2018 !!
Listening ... and watching! ;))
OF CORSE FROM A MADHOUSE YN NIJMEGEN......DOING, YO..............
31 YEARS LATER AND THIS SONG AND THE 12" IS *STILL* JAMMING.....
Still a tune!!
Forever
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. ;)

Ayhan BAŞEREN I totally agree, music started to go downhill for me in 2004, all this auto tuned crap now, it’s not music anymore.
Producers : J. JAMES & T. LEWIS !
Studio in Minneapolis.
Thanks for the info !
Love your shirt. Guten Tag---Ayhan. Wo bleibstu ein Deutschland? Ich bin America. I attended functions in Goethe Zentrum, Atlanta, GA..
Yeeeaaahhhhh! This was my SHYT! LOVE Alexander O'Neal! Alex was my DUDE! 😀👍🏾
Man, Alex is great, but this is ALL about that wonderful bassline. Stunning.
Chris A. And the girls on chorus! Like ushering in really great house music... But Alex has sung some of my favorite songs from the 80's, it's a crisp, masculine voice, yet pretty...
That bass aint no joke!
listen to it on iTunes, the bass line is incredible.
Check out "fake" too
and the groove of the pocket...Id LOVE playing this one on drums or keyboards both
You can play this dude whole album an be satisfied. Straight fire!
The great Alexander o Neal ! I named my first born son after him his music was so great ! My Alex is now 27 a son to be proud of !
So many naturally beautiful women at the same time and none of them have any plastic in her
They looked great even though the most they pretty much did was jumping jacks in front of the tv.. nowadays chicks hit the gym n wear tight stuff but they look superficial compared to the classiness of the 80’s.
Beautiful black queens fake hair or not other races get fake lips ass hips eyelashes to enjoy the video and shut the fuck up
Agreed. Also, no stupid tattoos or nose rings.
Isn't that Gr8 !?!?
Yep
when you think of a room full of non-toxic and beautiful people while there's a groovy black man that has a great amount of positive aura singing one of the greatest 80's songs of all time and you wanna live and love in that room forever with them (no barricades of love, religion or culture) and leave and forget the outside world,
well that room only exists in this video and our memories.
point well driven
Well said my friend
@Nick Flint I am 49 years old and this is 10-23-2019 . I am hearing a lot of good music on the radio ; the top 10 is great !
Always loved this man. There will never be anyone who can sing like him and be as smooth as him. His voice was pure gold!
FROM 🇧🇷 LETS GO!!!! NIKO THE BEST OF AL TIME!!!!!!

One of my all-time favourites. So much energy. Makes you wanna dance. Oh to be in the video, too!
It's crazy to think, now I'm getting older that I've been listening to this track for decades and it still sounds fresh, class is permanent
Tune n half! I never get bored of listening to this!
Pis Potikal I agree.I'm stuck on replay.lol
one of them songs , turn up the volume and sing along ! .. a club full of Gorgeous woman and a stunning backing group , i am not surprised Mr O`Neal is sweating a bit at the end !! ... he he
Malcolm Fellows what a weirdo
Great Point!!
This is so 80’s I wish I was here ! I could tell by the vibe the aura, the hair , the music 🕺 mannn hands down best decade ever
THE SYNTH, BASS, AND PERCUSSION IS 80S PERFECTION!
September 2019 and its still jamming as Hell ! 🕺💃🎶✨🎼🎚
Jimmy Jam & terry lewis were on a magical musical streak back in the 80s !
Yes they were. However, this is a Jellybean Johnson production.
Actress AJ Johnson getting her groove on with the keyboard! When the music was bless!
Alex was the man back then! Hit after hit!!
I would still love to work with him. Was is to say no more. I love his songs. I know what you mean though. I bet I can make him #1 again. Ronn G.
+Ronald Green do it and get him to the Apollo in Harlem 3 days.
+Ronald Green that is a weekend of him
I agree with you on that.I hadn't heard this song in years until it came on the radio the other while I was driving home from work and I been listening to it every since.This song still go hard.

This is gold music. Fantastic 80s.i was born in 80. I'm Italian
I'm 53 now and I bought the hearsay album back in 1988..Still one of my fave albums ❤🎉
If I can go back in time & get with one of these chicks in the video! 😂 Real women! Gorgeous beautiful authentic. They dont make them like this anymore. This my song! Alexander killed it!
I LOVE this song! One of my all time favorites. I know this song front to back. Original and Remixed! Alexander O'neal is one of the most underrated Male vocalist in music and Lisa Keith did an amazing job with singing the hook of the song!!!! Simply awesome!
He is one of the best in the world!
Listening in 2023 here in Brazil. So good.
Me encanta este canción la puedo escuchar 1000 veces y me sigue gustando tengo el vinilo gracias Alexander por esta gran canción
Hearsay .... One of the best 80's albums ... always go back to it ... I'm 55 this Sunday ... and So lucky to be an 80's child .... so to speak ... I was formed out of the 80's ... and it does matter ... we didn't know we had it so good ... The Tunes , the fashion, the vibe... Free and looking forward.... .... now I kind of look back ... and wish....
