Ikr she has a awesome voice! lk at Mariyah Carrey? she's so much better than her! she needed better managing!!! fuck death row!!! she's so talented! i think she sings as good as or is better than Whitney! i love her!!!!!!
Ladies and gentleman know your worth. People will treat you how you allow them. I.E. if someone is put hands on you the first time and you stay. That's on you! 🚗🚍✈🚕
I'm just now finding out about her! & I played this and felt some type of way & now it's crazy listening to it bc it's like way deeper after finding out her story. Makes me sad. I pray for only happiness in her life 🙏🏽🥺🥺🥺 shes a gem
Ladylace97 the same way my voice is raspy and a little deep but when I sing it's a little Alto and contralto like Anita Baker which makes sense cause she's my cousin lol
Tania Jones same here. like she wanted to be loved by that one person, but he didnt love her back. she knew he didnt but she still stayed hoping it'll change
+Rod217 You can really feel all the emotions, the love, the hurt, the pain, the sadness, and the abuse.. She really sung the this song... I never bought anything by Dre...
Sonia Craig i dont remember exactly, in an interview, on r&b divas, on twitter, she said that dre made her cry while she was recording it because he wanted her to hurry up and she didnt have the 2nd verse done yet, she said the song was about him, if you dont believe me, ask her on twitter, she's cool, she'll respond and confirm
In an interview she said that Dre asked her to come to Aftermath while he was in the process of starting it but she said she was going to stay with Death Row Records with Suge Knight even tho Dre kept telling her that Suge wasn't going to do anything for her
Gayle Steiner she had everything and if Dre wasn't so abusive they could have been a super team or if she left Dre and went to Babyface's label, Michel'le could have been a megastar. With her talent, she should be up there with MJB, Janet, Whitney, Celine, and other powerhouses
Michel'le seems like a very sweet person. she grew up in an abusive environment as a child. It was normal for her. she called it love. she was easily manipulated. Dre used that weakness and did pretty whatever he wanted to do to her. sex, beat, and just all around abuse her. and it makes me sick how he is denying it. then again Ike Turner denied it as well. God I hope your daughter doesn't watch the movie. because it wouldn't be right if she was abused like the one person you once loved. Shame on you Dre
She is shes very sweet omg I spoken with her many times she was very kind we were talking bout a good resturant i was looking for she helped then every now and then we conversate shes humbled.you right she didnt deserve to be mistreated.
Michel'le's daughter and son have both seen the movie at the premiere in LA. Her daughter Bailei was actually scheduled to visit her father Suge Knight the next day.
OMG I always luved that song and Dre and easy e was in the audience she was on the a hall show and she was singing to him I can understand her very clearly of what she went through and yes our heavenly father has brought us from a mighty long way peace and luv everyone
+PrinceAnthony 87 He apologized to the media, not her. If he was sorry he could have said to her directly. It shouldn't have taken 2015 to apologize especially yall having a child together.
Before Mary J Was Exalted The Queen Of Hip Hop Soul . Michel'le was and in my opinion still is. think about she came before alot of females, males and groups 👸🏽❤️
I am so thankful to God that I grew up to this type of music instead today's garbage music. Been jamming to Michel'le for nearly 23 years and counting!!!
TheBerkeleyBeauty yes, but I wanted all of that to happen multiple times... Someone just said that this women was assaulted multiple times by a particular person ( I don't believe she wanted this to happen)...wouldn't it make sense to get away from this person after the first black eye, or am I just crazy?
Tyrone Biggums - Not crazy. Just not familiar with what a battered woman's mind set is. You've obviously never been in or known anyone first hand that has ever been in a situation like this, thank God. I hope you never do.
0:36 I love the sound of the audience roaring with applause so loud it overpowers the entire band. She certainly deserved it after such an incredible soul chilling opening to such a beautifully sad song. She sounds like an angel here and it makes me think this world wasn't worthy of such a beautiful and captivating voice.
+D “KONCIOUSBLKFEM” KNIGHTMAN any way beleive what you want shes cool peeps i call it from what i know and if someones nice ill say it if theyre nasty ill say it like one encounter i had with jesse jackson who was rude to me .this lady here took out her time to give me names of resturants studios thats humbled you wernt there i dont know you so it is what it is.
This girl was so talented and beautiful and this sorry excuse of a man was jealous of her and her success, that's why his pitiful *$% tried to break her down, and he suceeded. But this is HER SEASON!!! Her time to SHINE brighter!!! Much love and success DIVA!!!
I love how she sings her song exactly as it sounds on the radio! Just perfect and truly talented!!’ I hate she didn’t get the recognition she deserved!
Sach6693 she wasnt pregnant but this was shortly after she had Marcel. yeah the dress was an overkill but Michel'le had a gorgeous face so whatever he dressed her in, her beauty always shined
Yes indeed as I seen in one of her older photos she's very well endowed in the back side so yes he did spend a lot of time trying to make sure wardrobe would take down her sex appeal she's over all a beautiful woman so it doesn't matter.
Look at her jaw it’s swollen 💔.. Dre should be shamed of his damn self he apologized to Dee Barnes but acts like like Michel’le doesn’t exist cause he isn’t man enough to admit he was wrong 😕..
She was so popular at that time I mean she was eveywhere, her album was so good she was about to blow up. I hate things stopped for her. Thats why nobody understood why she wasn't in the NWA movie. She still a legend tho.
And it's sad that Black men back then and now would have just that much envious spirit towards their Black Queens like it GOTS to stop... Lift your Black Queens up y'all Don't tear us deeper and more into shreds.... Then you wanna wonder why white men treated and treat us the way they do...It ain't no worse than what some of y'all do to us everyday on a daily basis. You don't treat white women or Spanish women like that... So why in the hell you're doing us the way you do... I Just Keep It Real I'm Sorry I'm not fin to sugar coat Nothing....If it calls for salt in the recipe put salt. If it calls for Pepper than you better put Pepper in it, because I refuse to put Sugar on something that's not suppose to have it.. Shanny💞 And Oh My God the way she was singing that song Close To Me wow Unbelievable just Pure Gold Talent Lord... Smh
You know you did it, when you did it. When your first and really only album is a CLASSIC! In this one performance she made her statement: Michel'le is Here!
I'M CRYING WATCHING THIS.. LIL DID WE ALL DIDN'T KNOW..DRE WAS FUCKN HER UP:( AND I NAMED MY DAUGHTER AFTER HER... BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
I'm steal listening to this & it's 2021..listen too her beautiful voice..Dre" needs his axx beat...& I say" that bcuz I was around ( Facts) I'm so proud of My beautiful Black Queen Sister got over all those obstacles " .
she never received the amount of fame she could have received so lets support her now and give it to her
Word
Ikr she has a awesome voice! lk at Mariyah Carrey? she's so much better than her! she needed better managing!!! fuck death row!!! she's so talented! i think she sings as good as or is better than Whitney! i love her!!!!!!
Yea because I just finding out who she is but i knew this song forever!
Ladies and gentleman know your worth. People will treat you how you allow them. I.E. if someone is put hands on you the first time and you stay. That's on you! 🚗🚍✈🚕
Dre black balled her
This song feels so different after knowing her story there’s a beauty and a sadness in it
Right. I now can’t stand Dr Dick… lol
I agree.
I dislike Dre. After knowing he was a woman beater.. she was a good woman to him & sweet person. He totally fucked up her career.
She was so beautiful how could he beat on her like that and she loved him
I'm just now finding out about her! & I played this and felt some type of way & now it's crazy listening to it bc it's like way deeper after finding out her story. Makes me sad. I pray for only happiness in her life 🙏🏽🥺🥺🥺 shes a gem
The human body truly amazes me never understood how she talks like a baby yet sings so powerfully but I love it
Ladylace97 the same way my voice is raspy and a little deep but when I sing it's a little Alto and contralto like Anita Baker which makes sense cause she's my cousin lol
Ladylace97 she did a interview with Wendy and explained.
Megan Carter yeah I've heard her talk about it b4 still amazes me
Ladylace97 right her voice is amazing
@@Ladylace97 I've heard her explain several times but it still amazes me too.
that girl don't just sing, she SANG!!!!!...she kills it every time....love her!!
Scott Hardy you shut the f up.
Scott Hardy u shut up dumb bitch
😂
@ShanDaR778
Couldn't agree more😊
Yesss🎤
Back when people actually sounded like their records
They do now too...? Or because most lip sync or sing along to a VERY loud "backing track". lol
Yes I am here for it 😍😍😍
The ones like her sounded even better in person
They still do..... look up Jacquees singing while recording on a phone or trey songz
Shouldn’t matter ,
That fresh rod set..
T Smith 😂😂😂
LMAO
Yassss!!
T Smith I wish I could give this comment a hundred likes because it's FUNNY and it's TRUE🤣🤣🤣😂😂👏🏾👏🏾
Dre beat her
That voice...those eyes...mesmerizing.
i used to watch this before knowing she was being abused and could always sense a yearning and sadness with the way she sung this. :(
Yes i did to I felt it
me too.
Tania Jones same here. like she wanted to be loved by that one person, but he didnt love her back. she knew he didnt but she still stayed hoping it'll change
kwilcox1126 TRUE
Tania Jones she said that she used to stay drugged up so she couldn’t feel the pain from him beating her
Lovely, Dre should be ashamed beating on this woman, he should sincerely apologize for how he treated her.
terelon Dre is actually denying that he abused her. He's a coward.
terelon he's number one punk
He's dead!!
So sad. I wish there was more Michel’le in the 90s and less of Dre.
Is he beating on his wife?Cause he beat this beautiful woman. SHAME
This song will always stand the test of time! She was truly living those lyrics. That album was so good! I still play it often.
Manny G. Forever what u know about this song youngin
Soooo true bruh
Manny G. Forever couldn't agree more
+Rod217 You can really feel all the emotions, the love, the hurt, the pain, the sadness, and the abuse.. She really sung the this song... I never bought anything by Dre...
Dre wrote this song with her and she says it wasn't about Dre.
This song was always so sad to me.... Now I understand why she sang it so convincingly!
+Carla Carla yeah she said it was about dre
+Brown Royal when did she say that?
+Sonia Craig the song is obviously about him! most of her songs back then were about her abd dre relationship.
Sonia Craig i dont remember exactly, in an interview, on r&b divas, on twitter, she said that dre made her cry while she was recording it because he wanted her to hurry up and she didnt have the 2nd verse done yet, she said the song was about him, if you dont believe me, ask her on twitter, she's cool, she'll respond and confirm
+Brown Royal OK
Powerhouse voice, held back by controlling men. Her voice speaks for itself. Something greater is in store for her.🙏🏾💯❤️️
She had a powerful vagina as well dropping babies for both Suge and Dre. But based on today's standard she was probably raped. Lol 😂
In an interview she said that Dre asked her to come to Aftermath while he was in the process of starting it but she said she was going to stay with Death Row Records with Suge Knight even tho Dre kept telling her that Suge wasn't going to do anything for her
Amen
The trajectory of her Career was Sabotaged no Reason why It should have taken so long For her follow up Album be it Ruthless or Death Row
I SURE HOPE SO RAVEN, DR DRE DESTOYED HER CAREER, HE SHOULD PAY HER OFF, CLEAR HIS CONSCIENCE. IF HE HAD ONE, WHICH I DONT THINK HE HAS....SMFH
Right from the intro she completely killed this!! She's amazing. What a talent, most singers today couldn't hold a candle to her.
if you can find one name them... lol.. She is one of the best to ever sing.. hands down.
G. Duenas so true sweety
G. Duenas So true!!!
She still Blows me away until this day, she still does gigs and she is awesome. My two Favs of all time Miche'le and Whitney Houston
I AGREE 💯% SIR SHE DEF HAD A PHENOMENAL VOICE BOX
She should have been a super star
Gayle Steiner she really should have, her voice is amazing!
Gayle Steiner I totally agree dre stop that from happening behind the scenes I heard long time ago I hope not
Well dre didnt want that to happen, he was jealous of her succes and scared that she might be bigger than him.
I agree Gloria Steiner... she sung this song with full force and a dedication that's missing with today's artists
Gayle Steiner she had everything and if Dre wasn't so abusive they could have been a super team or if she left Dre and went to Babyface's label, Michel'le could have been a megastar. With her talent, she should be up there with MJB, Janet, Whitney, Celine, and other powerhouses
She is such a beautiful woman. Her voice is amazing.
No more lies
Michele Greene
I love her eyes.
Truly 👌🏿
no auto tunes needed with her stunning vocals!!! I love you Michel'le!!
Gorgeous. Michelle
The emotion in her eyes while singing this song in this performance tells many tales.
How her soft talking voice projected this strong live performance still boggles my mind like crazy
And the only female in the industry that could sound like that love her
I swear it's mind blowing
I tell people saueeky voices can sing
You can still here the squeakiness a little bit
This is one of my favorite slow jams of all time by Michel'le. She has one hell of a voice!
Did you yo grind in ?
Michel'le seems like a very sweet person. she grew up in an abusive environment as a child. It was normal for her. she called it love. she was easily manipulated. Dre used that weakness and did pretty whatever he wanted to do to her. sex, beat, and just all around abuse her. and it makes me sick how he is denying it. then again Ike Turner denied it as well. God I hope your daughter doesn't watch the movie. because it wouldn't be right if she was abused like the one person you once loved. Shame on you Dre
She is shes very sweet omg I spoken with her many times she was very kind we were talking bout a good resturant i was looking for she helped then every now and then we conversate shes humbled.you right she didnt deserve to be mistreated.
Michel'le's daughter and son have both seen the movie at the premiere in LA. Her daughter Bailei was actually scheduled to visit her father Suge Knight the next day.
Timothy Pearson-stop that bullshit lying bitch!
+D “KONCIOUSBLKFEM” KNIGHTMAN who are u talking to. just curious
Juliandstewart wasn't for you!
Who is listening in 2020? Great performance.
I'm listening to it September 2020 I love this song
me dey ya it's my tune
Me
2021
2021
Damn, she sang that song with all her might, get it Michel'le! I still love this song when it comes on I dance slow by myself and sway too.
I forgot to mention the sax in the song is as sexy as it wants to be.
OMG I always luved that song and Dre and easy e was in the audience she was on the a hall show and she was singing to him I can understand her very clearly of what she went through and yes our heavenly father has brought us from a mighty long way peace and luv everyone
The Voice, the eyes, the class... Just perfect.
Child has got a voice on her...dre held her back.
That sax is awesome!!!
Girl!!!
J.A Abubakr yes and the piano true talent
It was the drums for me
she looks so happy like she's in love with the music when she sings like she forgets about all her problems once she's on stage
Can somebody re-sign her TODAY? She still looks & sounds the same. We need another Michel'le album fast!
she does not look the same. she let the butcher work on her face, as much as i can see
Knowing what we know now, you almost want to run up there and save her younger self. Before all the time passes and more abuse occurs... 😢😢😢
Wow,. Dre was a fool for not hooking her up and producing her music and career. She's truly talented and a good singer for sure. Respect.
He was probably trying to keep other producers (Babyface & Jam/Lewis) from working with her.
You mean that women beater ?
Iam not feeling Dre he need to man up and say sorry
S. Morgan He Did But She Put The Movie Out Anyway Now He's Gonna Sue
He can sue all he wants. If it's true he'll lose. He can't stop her from telling her story
+PrinceAnthony 87 He apologized to the media, not her. If he was sorry he could have said to her directly. It shouldn't have taken 2015 to apologize especially yall having a child together.
S. Morgan heck yea he should man up
jj jj he denied it he apologized to all the other women but not her real fucking devil
One the best singers ever. ❤️
yes she so beautiful
Before Mary J Was Exalted The Queen Of Hip Hop Soul . Michel'le was and in my opinion still is. think about she came before alot of females, males and groups 👸🏽❤️
Exactly! She is bad
I’m sorry but Whitney Houston the best singer ever
@@Tj-vc5im I said one of the best singers not the best singer.
This woman sang this song live perfect. One of the best singers ever
Between her voice and those eyes, she have me hypnotized.
she's sssooo pretty
All I can say is that I miss real singers like this on the radio. I remember growing up listening to this, and it was just wonderful.
Michel'le is the most attractive woman in this universe. unmatched pure beauty
She should've been a superstar with that voice!!! I hear the song in an entirely different way in 2021. God Bless her
Aaaaah man, this song will NEVER die!!!!!! Mmmm, I luv it so much.
Watched the Arsenio interview so I had to come find the performance she killed it
TJ Hunter she is damn gorgeous
Yes she is did you watch the interview Its a clear copy she's beautiful
TJ Hunter yes and he did her so wrong
Yeah he did and Suge wasn't no better every time the Judge say fake married and 43 cars in Surviving Compton I Gag Lol
Same!
That "we should be together" at 2:23 is EVERYTHING.
You can see the hurt in her eyes. She struggled through that song.
She killed "The Love I'm Giving". Sounds better than the record.
THE PAIN IN HER EYES OMG!😭😭🤧😓Dre y that's all we wanna know
She is a beautiful woman with a lovely voice.
Her voice is outta this world . She could’ve went so far in the music business damn
Her voice is a force to recon with. Would love to see her & Fantasia share a stage!!
I done watched surviving Compton Michele story sooo many times I love it! respect to her❤️❤️
I love you Michel'le!! Way before the movie and shows 😍😍
FRAN MONROE. didn't really have to say all that😂
wow she's such a power house !
Shakiema. Robinson O
I am so thankful to God that I grew up to this type of music instead today's garbage music. Been jamming to Michel'le for nearly 23 years and counting!!!
Yes. I agree.
Pure talent right here, the artists of today could never
This sing never fails to give me chills!!! She was blessed with a true gift.
Can't believe that dr dre used to beat on her man,
+king samson He gave her several black eyes , broken ribs and broke her nose numerous times. He is a complete and total jerk
+Tha smartchick let me ask you something. How was all of that able to happen multiple times? Seems strange to me...
+Tyrone Biggums - You've brushed your teeth, driven your car and made your bed multiple times, right? How was all that able to happen multiple times?
TheBerkeleyBeauty yes, but I wanted all of that to happen multiple times... Someone just said that this women was assaulted multiple times by a particular person ( I don't believe she wanted this to happen)...wouldn't it make sense to get away from this person after the first black eye, or am I just crazy?
Tyrone Biggums - Not crazy. Just not familiar with what a battered woman's mind set is. You've obviously never been in or known anyone first hand that has ever been in a situation like this, thank God. I hope you never do.
Such sad eyes
One of the best hooks in R&B
2021? Anybody?
Who would have ever thought that she was going through abuse at that time 🤷🏾♀️
Can't wait for her Lifetime movie.. smh..
Michel'le is gorgeous
She looks beautiful and sang great
0:36 I love the sound of the audience roaring with applause so loud it overpowers the entire band. She certainly deserved it after such an incredible soul chilling opening to such a beautifully sad song. She sounds like an angel here and it makes me think this world wasn't worthy of such a beautiful and captivating voice.
She's hitting every note! Beyonce can't even sound this good.
Shes very sweet humbled i spoke lot of times with her if dre wouldve pulled her from heller she wouldve been unstoppable.
stop your lies bruh...no one believes you!
+D “KONCIOUSBLKFEM” KNIGHTMAN any way beleive what you want shes cool peeps i call it from what i know and if someones nice ill say it if theyre nasty ill say it like one encounter i had with jesse jackson who was rude to me .this lady here took out her time to give me names of resturants studios thats humbled you wernt there i dont know you so it is what it is.
Her singing voice is AMAZING!!!
This girl was so talented and beautiful and this sorry excuse of a man was jealous of her and her success, that's why his pitiful *$% tried to break her down, and he suceeded. But this is HER SEASON!!! Her time to SHINE brighter!!! Much love and success DIVA!!!
I love how she sings her song exactly as it sounds on the radio! Just perfect and truly talented!!’ I hate she didn’t get the recognition she deserved!
💯
I saw her perform two years ago and she still sings this beautiful. Her voice is powerful and amazing.
Chills every time especially knowing about that studio scene when she was voicing that song
That dress was overkill even for that time. He didn't want her showing her body at ALL!
She was also pregnant here so they were probably trying to hide her baby bump
Codycole80 I think they were trying to stay with the theme of the actual video
Sach6693 she wasnt pregnant but this was shortly after she had Marcel. yeah the dress was an overkill but Michel'le had a gorgeous face so whatever he dressed her in, her beauty always shined
Yes indeed as I seen in one of her older photos she's very well endowed in the back side so yes he did spend a lot of time trying to make sure wardrobe would take down her sex appeal she's over all a beautiful woman so it doesn't matter.
Hes a punk.
she said her makeup artist use to cover up alot of her black eyes I wonder if she had one this night
I think she did, now that I've seen the movie I've noticed in her other vids where they covered her black eyes with makeup, Dre should be ashamed.
Christian McNair she did. her right eye is swollen
She did look at her right eye
@@kwilcox1126 woooow I see it smh
Look at her jaw it’s swollen 💔.. Dre should be shamed of his damn self he apologized to Dee Barnes but acts like like Michel’le doesn’t exist cause he isn’t man enough to admit he was wrong 😕..
I just saw the movie. Wow I got so emotional. She went through so much
Her dress is giving me "Cotton Club Realness."
From the way she talks, never in a million years would you believe that she had a singing voice that strong.
Who's listening to this in 2019...and who's played this more times than they can remember...lol
2023 still 🔥
2024 still rockin this 🔥 classic!!! ❤😊
Her voice is insane!
Whoa! I knew her voice was good, but I had no idea she was THAT GOOD...amazing
Are these artist of today Not Allowed to make such great music like this ??? This song gives goosebumps !👍🏼
She's such a cutie and a talented singer. I'm happy that she's having her say. Blessings Michel'le!
This is pure magic.
Mary j wishes she can sing like Michel'le . Michel'le is the real original queen of hip hop soul ❤️
yeah but Mary J has some fun music also. But yes, Michel'le is a huge talent and I can't wait for her new music.
I do like Mary J Blige . But she's not michel'le and will never be.❤️💯
Jaziah Brooks True true .
This Voice is TIMELESS🥺❤️❤️❤️ still listen to her all the time in 2022☺️nothing like it.
OMG back when you had to stay up late to watch Arsenio so you could talk about who was on there the next day at school. Memories
Dang this woman voice give me goose bumps..powerful
Still give me chills that’s voice baby
Its sad you can see her eyes tearing up baby girl
She’s so pretty
This is HER song, NO ONE can sing it like her!
She was so popular at that time I mean she was eveywhere, her album was so good she was about to blow up. I hate things stopped for her. Thats why nobody understood why she wasn't in the NWA movie. She still a legend tho.
Pure talent.. still 100% killin it 30 years later.. beautiful..
And it's sad that Black men back then and now would have just that much envious spirit towards their Black Queens like it GOTS to stop...

I felt a shock wave through my veins
I Miss Her SOOOOOOOOOO Much!!!
2022, still one of the greatest song of time
You know you did it, when you did it. When your first and really only album is a CLASSIC! In this one performance she made her statement: Michel'le is Here!
