Sometimes in life you have to cut the tread. They did a fantastic job without her. Thank God all that all of these Queens can share their own unique voices. ❤
@@anthonydevereaux3179 I agree. I used to prefer this song without Dawn BUT now I think she brings a conviction that the other doesnt. She sung it like it was her reality!
Go check them out singing this on Rosie O'Donnell show. They also sang Whatever. Killed both of them. "Don't Let Go (Love)" is a funny song because Terry is right under Dawn in the track, lifting her vocals. Terry is belting the line "dont let go" but she's back from the mic and it sounds amazing, especially when you can listen to it in some good speakers lol. Then, at the same time, when Terry's singing one of the verses (after Dawn's departure) on this and her voice is missing in the background it sounds incomplete.
@@jacksongreene3687 agreed, terry was straining less than dawn and had cleaner/better vocal techniques most of the time but ppl are just more use to dawn’s voice on this song lol
I've never seen this!!!! Wow, I've never heard Max vocalise in the beginning. I love to hear Cindi's top when they sing "friends".💝 This was to prove the song could be sung without Dawn, and they did it well. Sorry, Dawn.
@@valentinomiller6251 'Don't Let Go' was released while Dawn was still in the group otherwise how would she had done the music video? Duh.. She was fired while recording their EV4 album.
That sound is amazing!!!! Love these ladies pity Dawn left.....and then Max left..........we do need the original four back together. It's a pity they couldn't sort things out. I think all five with Rhona would be amazing!
Definitely was smart for them to split the opening with Maxine taking the lower part n Terry the higher ... but Definitely says a lot that it took two to do what 1 (dawn) could do
No, it doesn’t. It means for this performance Max & Terry opened. Or are you going to ignore Terry’s vocals performance of the same song on SNL on 97? Please.
@@lions1179 I'm with you on that but Dawn was no longer with EnVogue and this was one of their biggest hits so they had to sing it. Someone had to sing it.
@@itsnoahonfire Back in their heyday Cindy could get it in when she needed to or wanted to. I've been watching a lot of live clips of them singing "Whatever." Cindy does her one-two on that.
I disagree. Dawns lick at the start is so iconic & soulful. Notes aside, her voice is a storyteller, even on hef bad times, you still walk away with emotion. This is her song.
True. Organized Noize said that Dawn was the only one who had the capability and the voice to match their production and lyrics and that's why they had Dawn sing majority of the lead vocals on the song. Dawn grew up singing Soul, Gospel, and Rock Music as a child.
They all played a role. Dawn was the natural soul singing one, Cindy was very Broadway West end, Terry was the power belter, and Max was the smooth velvety jazz sound. It just worked and its insane how well the group was put together vocally
With everything being said , Dawn carried the group they are all lead singers , but she was THE lead singer. She is the only lead singer who brought in the most hits because people love her voice .
@@damnnative3188 yeah it’s because I don’t listen to en vogue df . I only listen to this song and one more and that’s it while the fuck you in my business!
what a banger. still listening in 2024
I miss these times: good music, talented singers and a television channel dedicated to playing strictly music. Those were the days.
Could not agree more!
Don't forget natural beauty
❤a=2/333333333³3333333@@charmedlibra927
They did great, but Dawn’s voice brings that xtra “umph” in this song. I hope the original 4 can work things out, & start performing together again.
I agree 💯.
Shit is sad man only them 4 should ever sing this song including dawn
Sometimes in life you have to cut the tread. They did a fantastic job without her. Thank God all that all of these Queens can share their own unique voices. ❤
I’ve always loved cindy’s “can’t keep running in and outta my life” part. 🔥
I always thought that was Max singing that part
It was definitely a treat to hear Cindy really belt in that soulful, EV allowed her to push herself vocally
Me too!! That's my favorite part and she sou ds amazing live as well 🫶
Easily the best solo of the song.
Those harmonies are so TIGHT omg ❤❤
Terry's vocals were so resonant here, and Cindy nailed her part here. One of their best DLG performances from this era.
Excellent

One of the best harmonies of all time right here. This song.
EnVogue's vocals are unmatched by any other female group. Their harmonies were insane! ❤🔥
E P I C voices🎉 😊
ha ha ha, he he he, the Sugababes, The Supremes , Atomic Kitten, Eternal, All Saints etc etc
Maxine looks so gorgeous with the short hair. I have also watched about 25 different live performances of this in the last week and they are ALL good,
3:20 that counter melody of the running in and out of my life line is majestic
At 3:47 Terry's "OH NOOOO Don't you wanna be?!" is everything and I wish it was on the album version.
Omg I literally just commented this too! I loooooveeeee that part so much!! I hate that it’s not on the original version
I Love the extended ending. I hate that they always cut it out the live performances.
Chills❤
They KILLED IT
Cindy rocked
En Vogue😍 My favorite female group⭐ Cindy was everything🥰 Damn I miss when music had meaning & real voices🎤🎶🤍🏆
Terry actually should’ve sang a verse on the original because her and dawn would’ve done amazing just like she did here.
Terry could never match Dawns vocals on don’t let go
@@vantablack4183 Dawn can never match Terry I think you mean. Terry would sing her under the table everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.
@@jacksongreene3687 agreed, terry was straining less than dawn and had cleaner/better vocal techniques most of the time but ppl are just more use to dawn’s voice on this song lol
@@jayd3455 Yea true...good point
@@jacksongreene3687 Dawn can never match Terry and Terry could never match Dawn
Whew chile!!! Pretty as heck and can blow

I agree they didn't need Dawn.
What they should have done was go back into the studio to rerecord the entire song with Cindy doing the lead..
@@cortezmiller1899 I'm not denying that at all.
@@mamadouaziza2536 why Dawn's version was ever released, since she was forced out of the group, is beyond me.
@@valentinomiller6251
'Don't Let Go' was released while Dawn was still in the group otherwise how would she had done the music video? Duh..
She was fired while recording their EV4 album.
Bull Dawn slayed and made this song
Yessssssssssss real singing!!!!!
4/5 would've been 5/5 with dawns Adlibs and vocals
Perfect
Yes! Good music! Talented ladies and all lead singers
this is how it should be done !!!
Sounded great! 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶 Just looked empty and upset
When real talent ruled the world.
That sound is amazing!!!! Love these ladies pity Dawn left.....and then Max left..........we do need the original four back together. It's a pity they couldn't sort things out. I think all five with Rhona would be amazing!
At this point, if they did reunite, I would demand that Rhona remain in the group. She's been consistent and loyal. She's earned her spot.
aroundtheclock
I agree totally. They need to make it happen.
Yeah we neeed the original funky divas back
Well...your wish happened
@@cortezmiller1899 They kicked her out because she refused to sign another 2 pennies a record deal
wonderful - this ladies
Epic😊
en vogue are so amazing
Killed it. I didnt like the other performances but this was good even though they're missing one

Terry should have sang the verses on this when Dawn left. Sometimes I dont know what they be thinkin.
No , no I’m sorry no one I mean no one can’t sing this song like Dawn Robinson

Terry Murdered Dawn's Part In The Beginning, I Think She Did It Better Than Dawn A Lil Bit
Ive always preferred Terry doing it than Dawns wailing.
Nah. Terry sou ds amazing. But Dawn meant that shit when she did. They needed the depth of Dawn's voice to fill out the melody.
I disagree. Dawns lick at the start is so iconic & soulful. Notes aside, her voice is a storyteller, even on hef bad times, you still walk away with emotion. This is her song.
Dawn's passion was irreplaceable! She literally SET IT OFF#nopunintended
No one is better than the Original
Sorry. But they should have left this song to Dawn. Nobody in this group has the vocal power of dawn.
True. Organized Noize said that Dawn was the only one who had the capability and the voice to match their production and lyrics and that's why they had Dawn sing majority of the lead vocals on the song. Dawn grew up singing Soul, Gospel, and Rock Music as a child.
You need to go back and really listen to Terry.......... Listen to don't go...... Dawn didn't even do well on that reality show
Dawn's voice is about tone, not power. If you're talking power, you mustn't pit Dawn against Terry. Terry is the powerhouse voice of the four
They all played a role. Dawn was the natural soul singing one, Cindy was very Broadway West end, Terry was the power belter, and Max was the smooth velvety jazz sound. It just worked and its insane how well the group was put together vocally
With everything being said , Dawn carried the group they are all lead singers , but she was THE lead singer. She is the only lead singer who brought in the most hits because people love her voice .
Terry didnt like this song tho --
People can change their minds though.
I usually love their EV3 era performances, but they seem so bored and lifeless here.
Not as good with Dawn singing
I agree. The live performances sound better without Dawn singing on them.
Wheres the 4th girl?
she had left by this time .
@@justinbraylock757 oh , damn I really liked her
@@UrGoddessQueen You liked her so much you don’t know her name or that she’d left the group.
Okay 🙄
@@damnnative3188 yeah it’s because I don’t listen to en vogue df . I only listen to this song and one more and that’s it while the fuck you in my business!
@@UrGoddessQueen chile calm down with all that, how you mad at someone correcting you lol
