+Kuri Chan He wasn't underrated when he started He won Best R&B Soul Train Award and nominated for many more. As much as I was fan of him... His last two albums were disappointing. Also his musicality never matured with the times. Then add his addiction to drugs and his sexuality (at that time the r&b world wasn't ready) he wasn't going to get another label to invest him. And to add he was an executive producer on both of the albums that were disappointments, that sure didn't help his case either.

Best Of Brand:Ro wrestling lmao literally same. I’ve been singing this for a couple years (I’ll be 17 in week😂) people always wanna get on our generation like they’re not the ones that are supposed to show us the way. Like what did you expect? We were supposed to instinctively know 90s music? I was literally born in 2000. It took me being interested in music to find the means to go back and listen. And my parents listened to throwbacks around the house but otherwise kids wouldn’t know how it was before they were born. The world changes and we are just a product of our environment.
Chile you ain’t lying. I can still sing the original key? But I have to really push and have the right placement now. It was easy when I was a teen. Now I’m almost 30 like DAMN HOW DO I MANAGE SINGING THIS SONG NOW 😂😂😂😂
Notice Tevin's singing is smooth and he’s not over singing, he gave the song just what it needed. His range is such that he didn’t strain his head voice. Singers in doing the “Tank Can we Talk” challenge should take note. I’ve listened to many and they are trying too hard. No need to try if you got it. JS🤷🏽♀️
Absolutely! There was a LOT of straining and the one guy Avery? was doing too much with the runs. I hate when someone over does it and doesn't know how to balance that technique like Mariah or Whitney or Luther.
Mam, very well said. This song takes me back to 1993. I was a young 14 year old who thought he had love and life all figured out. I couldn't have been more wrong. I love Tevin. His beautiful voice can never be replicated. ❤
David Richardson They came out at the same time remember they were both on that song black men United written by De Angelo it was for the Jason lyric sound track
Back when music was all about the gift and the skill...and not the theatrics. This type of singing totally pulls you in cause it's so good! So glad I grew up in the this era.
i was also there sitting next to tevin campbells mom and dj red alert two rows behind me...wow i never met another person or at least known of anyone else being there at the same show as me from back then....thanks for posting your comment ,,,,
DancehallKing99, yup! On The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I remember being so excited for that episode because THE Tevin Campbell was going to be on the show. I remember being so envious of Ashley. Lol! Ahh, the '90s.
WOW... Did you hear those background singers at the end? Tevin's smile? I mean, PURE joy and talent! Can't get a mofo to sing like this for NOTHING now! Awesome!
@@daviddang82 take ur time finding any r&b artist and I guarantee u will find someone with a voice similar to his it’s not hard u just don’t care enough to actually try
Ain't nobody gonna ever come close to this here boy's singing ability... That Avery guy is great yes he is... But this here boy will always be untouchable.
@Mattie Anti Exactly! A male Whitney Houston would be him plus Luther Vandross and even throw Michael Bolton in there for the sheer power! Whitney was truly extraordinary!
That made no sense being able saang at that age! I was 21 and still in college at the time. Blessed to still be alive and see that we're both truly grown now. Praise God.
I'm so glad he didn't sell his soul. He realizes that his worth is much more than what fame can provide. He did not comprimise. Talented and stands by his morals. Mad respect.
Tevin Campbelll singing voice is sooo beautifully heartfelt along with the choice of words he's singing are sooo on point for millions of people to make the 🎵 musical joint Can We Talk a top hot hit back in the dayz the song were being played as more so new.😘 ↗And are still a goodies to enjoy to listen to from time to time.
rustleup 1000%...Yet, he became world famous. And you remained a no-one in the poor trashy area "outside of Dallas." I'd take a like of fruit over a life of nothingness. Hope things get better for you.
His voice always stayed on key and was smooth with the flow and quality of all songs he sang. Pure vocalist and talented as well as underrated. He is arguably on any top list when it comes to high pitch, voice range, octave and sound.
I love his albums. All 4 of them, but man the production team of the first 2 albums knew exactly how to showcase his talent and capabilities. When that 3rd album came, it's like "What happened?". It was great too but it wasn't a home run like the first two. I love "I'm ready" my god that's an amazing album. This guy was made to sing like this. Take yo time, Tev! You're tha man hommes!
One of the greatest vocalists of all time...Imagine being that young and you can and you can hits notes like that...I reAlly wonder who exactly and what ruined his career
Allegedly Quincy Jones turning him out is what ruined him. Hollywood and music business is notoriously full of power-junkies, serial deviants, etc. Apparently Tevin's mom allowed it all to happen as she was willing to do anything for the $$$. Such a shame. Tevin's voice is one of a kind!
I loved the 90s music so sweet so pure beautiful lyrics and Tevin was leader of the pack , Tevin's voice is one of a kind. He was so young yet he had so much control He is number one in my book and Monica too so young but a mature voice. Is it true that Tevin still tours ? I want to see him I also heard that he sounds the same. "But just like a baby I could not talk and I tried to come closer but I could not walk"
Man I miss those days.......good music like (Tevin, Usher, Jodeci, Brian McKnight, Hi 5, Ginuwine, Blackstreet, Babyface, H-Town, Johhny Gill, Keith Sweat, Bel Biv Devoe and the list goes on and on and on.......all back in the late 80's to the early 2000's) has all but disappeared.
@@sewblue187 the original (foundation) will always be the best ❣️... Come to think of it...the only song I've heard thus far...that sound better than the original was the song 'I Will Always Love You' by Dolly Parton when Whitney Houston remade it.
I want to hear a gospel album by Tevin it would be fantastic. I'd be the first one to buy it. Just 1 please Tevin. You sing like an angel. You are one of a kind. We love you Tevin.
I was here for it, I kept following the Challenge… I was Estatic wen Tevin finally sang his own Timeless Banger … Tevin can still Serenade us he’s Phenomenally Talented…give Tevin his Flowers now while he can smell them, and be Acknowledged 💐 🌸 🌺

Who's here in 2021, after watching the 'Can we talk Challenge?' Sing it Tevin!!
Came straight here after I watched it
The #canwetalk challenge was Awesome!!
I am
Yes I am here on 12/27/2021. And it's been going on for weeks. I was going to accept the challenge. But I just cannot get that one note :(
Me
Zero Auto-Tune... 100% raw talent
Non singers just don't realize how high of a key he's singing in!!
You have no idea
This guy can sing!!!
So high that his background vocalist keeping up with him is a FEMALE. 😉
Agreed❤ So Talented
Chile you ain’t lying. I can still sing the original key? But I have to really push and have the right placement now. It was easy when I was a teen. Now I’m almost 30 like DAMN HOW DO I MANAGE SINGING THIS SONG NOW 😂😂😂😂
@@007DrakoBruh I used to sing this song effortlessly until I turned 17, now I gotta do it at a lower register lol
I don't think, for him, he's singing high if this is where his singing voice naturally sits

Damn, then came Usher a year later. Tevin is so underrated.
Usher didn't become big till 97 though
David Richardson They came out at the same time remember they were both on that song black men United written by De Angelo it was for the Jason lyric sound track

David Richardson They originally wrote this song for Usher!

depends on the month, but either way he was super young.

Mell C heck yeah they need to do a feature in one of there singles
@@deronnekingcaid4328 that would be so nice!

😍
Stop Lyin Nigga!! Dudes will say anything for attention. Lol
Back when teens actually had to KNOW how to sing. No auto-tune or Disney crap.
Yes indeed
Disney Crap!!! LOL!!!!
He is in my playlist still
Lol they Disney kids are really talented too. Just have to tone it down to stay on Disney . I have prove
Amen...
I bet they called him "One Take" Tevin in the studio. That bot can sangg.
yep he seem like the type to get it right the first time.
Geeblaze05 Just like Whitney Houston
LMAO
Wouldn't be a surprise. Tevin campbell is a hell of a vocalist. One of the best male vocalists.
Back in the day when Tevin Campbell was ruling the radio 📻 airwaves, Arsenio Hall ruling late night talk shows and VCR players was actively taping.
Hall HATED Lip Synching. If you performed on his show, it was 100% LIVE.
Yaaasss!!! Class of '91checking in ✔
VCR were actively taping indeed. Those were the times
This man doesn't get the credit that he TOTALLY deserves it's a shame it's a damn shame
This song never gets old. The whole "I'm Ready" album is a gem and I still jam it in 2014!
YoungJanetJ. That's. so. true. Real. Music
💯💯👌
2019😍
I bop to Tevin Campbell and many others from back in the day, my family tells me that I'm different because I love back in the day music.
Let's listen to it together
No matter how many ppl do the “Can we talk”challenge they will never sound like TEVIN!! 12/2021
Tevin’s vocals are flawless!
He reminds me of Whitney Houston bc he sings effortlessly, and is able to improvise. He is a great singer!!!
Yes. Vocally the male Whitney. I always felt that way about him.
@@oskartgrouch8757absolute
He admired Whitney and wanted to be like the male version of her
The power of his voice is blowing the backup music out of the water! He is incredible.
remember he took ashley banks on her first date lol
DancehallKing99, yup! On The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I remember being so excited for that episode because THE Tevin Campbell was going to be on the show. I remember being so envious of Ashley. Lol! Ahh, the '90s.
The best rendition of the Happy Birthday song EVER lol
My child self was so jealous of Ashley for that. LOL Mad about it like it was real life or something.
Lil T😂
Wow didn't realize it was him.
WOW... Did you hear those background singers at the end?
Tevin's smile? I mean, PURE joy and talent!
Can't get a mofo to sing like this for NOTHING now! Awesome!
#FACTS
Nina513 just about to give them some love
IKR just hearing them stay safe
His background singers sounds terrible sorry very pitchy
Avery Wilson is the only new school singer that is like this. Can tell he’s heavily inspired by Tevins voice.
This is when real singers existed! Tevin was a gem
Tevin is A GEM 💎
Real singers exist now?
I just miss his singing and the purity and fullness of his voice.
wow rarely does the person sound like the album
AMEN!!!!!!
Pamela Lourant Ruthlyn Well back then when there were really singers, they did sound just like the album
Add "nowadays" to your comment. Because, a lot of singers sounded as they do sound on their albums back then.
true
Ruthlyn i was thinking the same thing!
That boy was ahead of his time. One of the all time great voices. Highly underappreciated and underrated.
Ahead of his time? Who in today’s time can sing even close to him now? No one still.
@@daviddang82 take ur time finding any r&b artist and I guarantee u will find someone with a voice similar to his it’s not hard u just don’t care enough to actually try

Ain't nobody gonna ever come close to this here boy's singing ability... That Avery guy is great yes he is... But this here boy will always be untouchable.
Yes!!
Tevin has a special voice there has always been something different about his vocals vs other male singers in the business his age
Damn I feel like we keep forgetting how amazing a singer this man is
oh my gosh I love his voice, I miss the 90's music😢
"Oh yes ya did." ... Straight from the Whitney Houston canon.
Lmao😂😂 I also caught that. He STUDIED Nippy
Yea WHITNEY def influenced TEVIN. He studied her movements and all, He learned from the BEST!!
Tevin said in an Interview that he followed Whitney Houston's Singing Mannerisms...
I can see it now that you said something 😄
Yeeeessss
It shows. I was saying It to myself while watching him sing
He also has a lot of influence from Aretha
So genuine a song from someone so young...17 years old!! Insane!
Tevin makes it look so easy
Still jamming this in Dec 2021
Still a fan to this day! He did NOT get the recognition he deserved, but he's still got that voice!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ikr, Paul Mooney was right, we are sometimey with our legends
I love that female background vocalist that come in during the second verse
Yes 🙌💯
The male version of Whitney Houston. I love tevin . Man get at me
Don Will I think he was heavily influenced by Whitney Houston
Don Will I just commented that. Lol
I definitely agree!
@Mattie Anti Plus she had much more power!
@Mattie Anti Exactly!
A male Whitney Houston would be him plus Luther Vandross and even throw Michael Bolton in there for the sheer power!
Whitney was truly extraordinary!
He sings so effortlessly!! I was only 3 when this song came out but I'm still jamming to it till this day!
Honey, just because you're 11, it doesn't mean that you don't know certain things. Knowledge is power, so I challenge you to look up the word.
Lol you good lil mama....stay in school!
I was 4 years old when this came out in 1994 still bumpin this in 2015
Nicholas Graham I know right! Awesomeness!
Nicholas Graham It came out in 1993. October 1993.
Tevin was way ahead of the times..Such a talent, all natural..loved his Jams...still do.
True definition of a soulful song.
Tevin is an absolutely beast on a microphone.
My, My, My.
Now this is how you singgggg🎤🎤🔥🔥
No, this is how you SANG! 😉😍
Sing baby. #TheMaleVersionOfWhitneyHouston Respect the young legend.
That made no sense being able saang at that age! I was 21 and still in college at the time. Blessed to still be alive and see that we're both truly grown now. Praise God.
God doesn’t create talent like him no more
Tevin could belt it out - and that crazy high range
Tevin is a true talent. Blows so many of today’s so called singers out of the water.
Tevin Campbell singing this song will never grow old. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Tevin show these singers nowadays what its like to sing and reach your audience
I'm so glad he didn't sell his soul. He realizes that his worth is much more than what fame can provide. He did not comprimise. Talented and stands by his morals. Mad respect.
When he hit that high note i got cold chills i love his voice still listening 2020 😍😍😍😍❤️
We need more of your songs come back
This performance was so DAMN GOOD

A vocal genius..love his voice
These were the days , real talent, real love , real different . So sorry for those who missed this era .
I’m 43 and I still LOVE Tevin
I swear I always looked at him like a male Whitney 😍😍😍
he was in the voice department his label didn't know how to market.
Lol, I went to school with Tevin back in 1990 outside of Dallas, he was a little fruity tho!!
rustleup 1000% smh we know.
prinsexed lol yesss a hundred percent 😍

They didn't know what a hit it was. Aaahhh. Love this song
I would prefer people to be quiet. Paid money to see him . Not y’all lol

That's so true George Michael did. Tevin is just wonderful
Tevin bring back a lot of great memories
I love Tevin Campbell. God Bless You.
So refreshing to hear the original. He sings it so effortlessly. All these other folks sounding good but straining. He's doing it so clean
Wish there where more tenors who could sing like this in the music industry. Great musical range.
Don't worry I'll be coming for that soot very soon.
