Tatyana Ali should of made it big as she had the looks, talent and the obvious endorsement or verified status from fresh prince. What ruined her from the jump was the white guy at the end! I remember watching the video with all my family and they damn near broke the tv! She tried to salvage it with the black boxer in boy you knock me out, but it was too late. Shame really as she made damn good music. Btw I’m not racially motivated my girlfriend is European, just stating the perceived facts at the time as a 12 year old in a big West Indian household.
Child stars have to go through a "coming out" phase where they attempt to change their public image from a child actor to a sexually mature adult in order to progress their careers. Think Britney and "Hit Me Baby, One More Time". Unfortunately (or luckily) for Tatyana, despite her obvious beauty and talent, she will always be seen as innocent little Ashey Banks, so the image change from child to adult never worked for her.
omg this brings me back!-- me and my sister used to jaam to this song when we were in elementary for the longest time lol --had it recorded on video and errthing lol
Basically because they're selecting songs to release or add to albums based on raw data and not... Intangibles, like talent or charisma. Or even song subject matter and how it relates to the listener.
Damn I don't know why she didn't do more music. She clearly had the talent and obviously the look. And her album was pretty good. Thing is, I don't think this album showcased her talent properly though. That "Make Up Your Mind" track from Fresh Prince a couple of years before this album should've been parlayed into an actual album. She could've had a great musical career ahead of her. What a shame....
I agree with you on how the lyrics aren't much different to the material they sing about nowadays, but I'm more referring to how rnb back then was more melodic and less about the bass. You can also here the instruments and her voice isn't drowned out by autotuning.

@@waynemarshall8836 i don’t really know if that’s the case, since she was in a very known relationship with a famous white boy (i wish i remembered his name) in her prime
@@riihanna510 but these are the days where there was no internet so information like that wasn’t as easily accessible? The only way you would of known that is by probably reading some magazine or a rare glimpse on mtv news! My family were ignorant and they switched off lol. I thought she had good music! Example...Mariah Carey switched it up in 95 with bad boy etc... black people finally took her in! Simple marketing tricks can work or backfire
Not heard this in years... still know the words
I miss the 90s
It was a golden age.
The 90’s misses you too
Best times .... best memories 💯🌈
Same but im a 2004 kid😔😂
Worse is me from 99, I didn't experience any of this, I just have the dream and the taste of videos from the past 😢
I miss 90s and early 2000s music. it was so great and fun back then
That time period everything was fun, carefree, stress free
❤@@sunnydelight5255
Ain't nothing like the 90s music
Especially rap💯
@Cindy Apeah same
Her album “Kiss the Sky” was THE album of ‘98/99. Listened to it non-stop.
Same 💕
1998 my college days listening to this on a Walkman big up Tatyana, Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz and all 90s music.
Hip hop and R&B have always been cousin. Especially in the 90s
Her smile makes me smile! #90s
I'm old enough to remember this video being on American MTV and BET in regular rotation.
no fake bits, just pure beauty. Salute Queen!
Classic 90s rnb... This tune and album was sick...🔥🔥🎶🎶
I will forever love this song and music video. I will always be a fan of Tatyana. 90s girl for life. 💙

I mimed to this song way backkkkk ??1998/1999 at HighSchool..... Beautiful!
I remember when this came out. #NOSTALGIA #BEAUTIFUL
If you have this you really know your music
Tatyana had a hard time in the R&B climate of her day. She deserved so much better. I still hope for a massive comeback one day.
not hard times too much competition those were the days not now with thrashy r&b
She couldn’t get by Aaliyah, brandy. Monica, Mary j, Tlc, destiny and all those big giant
@@malikmogekwu9781 that's literally the definition of hard times.
@@malikmogekwu9781She would've higher chances to blow up today tho. It's the same for Tyra Banks imo. Shake your booty was a bop

Missing 90s like sheeesh Crazi era 💥📸😎🤙🏼 generation in 2024 not even close 🤦🏽♂️
i wonder why her mouth was moving at 2:30?
even Tatyana noticed it! the Citroen DS was legendary!!!
This was my favourite song of 1998
Back when Rnb was more melodic and soulful, unlike the autotune, shallow, dance crap we get nowadays
