🤣🤣🤣 When the song started to play I fell out laughing. As someone who fondly enjoyed the song when it came out, now coming to terms with the fact that the vocals are a mess.
LMAO YEP. This was a HIT. The joke is back then it wasn't about the quality....ie (pitch etc) but in this case it was about marketing a collaboration. But this song fire back in the day LMAOOOOOOOOOO
The beat is called The 'Dawali' Riddim. Different artist's write a song to the beat/riddim. There are so many Riddim's. Sean Paul's 'Get Busy' is on the 'Dawali' as well as Wayne Wonder's 'No Letting Go' like you mentioned.
This was a club classic. I remember the Russ Parr Morning Show did a parody on this song. Hilarious. The words were “If you want me to sing, I’ll sing off key…”😂😂.
"First I'll teach her how to hear then sing"-IDK WHY that took me all the way out😂😂😂 But nawl Stevie you aint had to do my childhood like that. The beat made us bare the vocals.When the djs transitions to Wayne Wonder during this song, the crowd always go wild!
So, true story: My best friend produced her followup track, which was "Puerto Rico 2006" or something like that..... And the stories from that recording session and engineering vocals are of LEGEND! She got a pass y'all.....just like Cassie. 💅🏽😂
I CRACKED up laughing at Stevie's facial expression at the beginning of the video when Lumidee sang OFF KEY!! LOL! It's okay Lumidee you tried your best and for a minute it worked BUT Whoo chile!! LOL!!
100 percent agree!!!!!! When I was in college this was everywhere and it made me cringe every time I heard it. I said every time how did this girl get this on the radio and in the clubs???? Her dad must be someone big in the industry
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! The look on your face at 1:10!!! I did it at the exact same time! I. 😳 AM. 😱 DEAD! 🤯 😅😂🤣😂🤣______👻☠️⚰️🪦💐😇 Stevie, I needed that laugh today more than you could imagine! 😄👍🏽👍🏽 Thank you 🙏🏽😊 so much for starting this part of your channel. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I’ve been subscribed for a good minute now and I look forward to your content more than watching TV or even movies now! Keep up the awesome new work!!! Love it! 🤩🙌🏽💖 Please take care and wishing you excellent health, Sir! 💚 Have a beautiful day! 🌞🌻💛
I remember thinking the EXACT same thing when this song came out. Everything else was good, but vocals were😧😟😟😟😟😟 soo out of tune and a mess. Auto-tune cranked to 100% and it still sounded bad. How does anyone talk out of tune? I didn't know it could be done. The beat and melody were EVERYWHERE though! MTV, BET, it was a HUGE HIT
I figured it out from the prelude monologue before the song started up. Knowing Stevie Mackey from the Terrell Show, this is the only vocal performance (from a singer who specifically stated in interviews that she recognizes she can’t sing on key) he’d come after.
I'm a 90s kid, and I agree with you lol I couldn't stand the vocals on this song when it first came out, and I still don't. But......it's contagious and grew on me after awhile lol. I won't listen to it for pleasure but, to party...yes! That's it though. Next song reaction suggestion: please react to Jessica Simpson's new cover of Particles by Nothing But Thieves. She's one of my favorite voices of the 90's pop girl genre, and I'm so excited she's healing and making music again.💜💙💚
This is hilarious 😂 🤣 Has someone let Stevie know that the children have already been ruined and now we're adults still remembering the summer of 2004 with this song 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stevie I love you. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I remember hearing this in the clubs in the UK, it was a huge hit. I use to think how the rock stone can this be a hit and they let her record those vocals. I have to agree you are just dancing to the beat. I screamed when you even noticed the background singers and then you said Oh oh 🤣🤣🤣. Thank you for actually singing it how it's meant to be. ❤️
😂🤣🤪😜😝😆😂😅 for your beginning comments/analysis. Thanks for showing everyone how it can be a good song. I have to admit I like the song for the dancing aspect of it, but never really actually paid attention to the singers. Now, that’s all I’m going to think about whenever I hear this song 😂
😂😂😂 your intro was so funny! I lately while being a little bit nostalgic i checked some oldies and this one was on the playlist.. when it started i was like o yeah this was a gd jam.. then few scds later am like wait what!! wtf!! 🤦 I Couldnt keep it on!
In Caribbean culture its jumping on the RIDDIM. You'll find a lot of caribbean songs with the same RIDDIM different singers sometimes even 1 artiste has different songs on the same RIDDIM. This RIDDIM is called the diwali riddim and has been used for years. Maybe not the best vocal performance but at a passa passa/ fete/lime(caribbean party) it always get people dancing and singing uh oh.
Now 😂 in Lumidee’s defense, them folks did not care about that girl.. you could tell from the cover art. Sis had on pirate boots, a skirt, and probably one of them big ass belts with a shirt from Rainbow 😩
Uh, Oh, at first I thought someone was playing with you by throwing the pitch off purposely. Then I search for different links. Uh, Oh. I'm surprised no one tried to fix the pitches. You're hilariously. Your facial expressions are priceless. LOL, Now, let's talk about your version, YES and YES!!!.
came out in 2003, I don't care it's my jam!! sounds good too me 🤣🤣🤣 and nicki got inspired to use that beat from her track and she collecting a bag off that hit.
loool I was expecting some recent release 😩This is a throwback! Stevie like: exactly! Throw it back where it came from 😂 I'd stil jam to it at a summer prrtey tho 💃🏽
I agree!!! The thing that blows me about this song is the 8o8 in the song has a tone and because it’s the first thing you hear, I think that’s the key… NOPE!!! she’s singing against it the whole time!!! Makes me CRINNNNNGE!!!!!
Okay let me stop crying with laughter long enough to articulate this comment... Stevie this video from your facial expressions and commentary to the feedback in the comments sections has both given me life and yet has me dying with laughter! I Just... Thank you, thank you 😂 😂
That is such a ROUGH song. Even just the first few seconds you can tell it'll be a train wreck. Unfortunately. It just got worse from there. I had such a look by the time you stopped it after what...20 seconds or something? Dang! I've never heard of her. Now I wish I'd never heard of that song. Yikes.
This song is the results of a slow but steady decline in the talent pool. I’m a little older and the artist that ran the charts did so because of the talent they possessed. Technology has made it so anyone and everyone thinks they have the stuff and unfortunately the audiences have grown to expect less. It’s really a sad sad situation.
Finally, my point has been PROVEN! Radio, Internet & TV plays the same 20 songs and commercials over and over so much that we become audio hostages and we actually think we like what we hear and see. Stevie’s version is Fire though so the song itself is good it’s the recording that was questionable
If it weren't for Mean Girls this song probably would have disappeared into obscurity! Lol. Also, I didn't realize the brilliance of not putting any melodic instruments in this song until you pointed it out.
This is a classic. Even though her vocals are off. At the time this was released she got flack for years about the vocals. This is great. No this song was never created to be sang perfectly. I prefer Lumidee.
Man, I couldn’t agree more 🤣🤣🤣I always hated this song and thought it was a joke. How could the producers and engineers let this come out? That sounded good to them? 🤣🤣🤣
Right when the beat started, I busted out laughing because I already knew what song it was and I've always felt the same way as you do about this stupid song.
🤣 I wasn’t a huge fan of this song cause I never understood what she was saying except for the main chorus. Hearing it again now that I’m older the off-key singing is so obvious😅
Bro called this the worst song ever. Bro has a bad taste in music then 😂 bro gonna be butthurt. This song is a banger idgaf what y’all say. Worst reaction ever if u gonna diss a banger
🤣🤣🤣 When the song started to play I fell out laughing. As someone who fondly enjoyed the song when it came out, now coming to terms with the fact that the vocals are a mess.
Lmao! Yes this was a summer jam and we all knew it was horrible but we still loved it.
Ok I hear you… but as a kid this song absolutely SLAPPED 😂😂🔥🔥
Yes! The beat distracted us😆
exactly lol
😂😂😂
LMAO YEP. This was a HIT. The joke is back then it wasn't about the quality....ie (pitch etc) but in this case it was about marketing a collaboration. But this song fire back in the day LMAOOOOOOOOOO
It is literally the most displeasing sound I've ever heard and everyone around me liked it and I thought I was going crazy. Thank you for this
HE FIXED THE SONG!!!!!!! THANK YOU STEVIE, the beat is what kept on the song for all those years
The beat is called The 'Dawali' Riddim. Different artist's write a song to the beat/riddim. There are so many Riddim's.
Sean Paul's 'Get Busy' is on the 'Dawali' as well as Wayne Wonder's 'No Letting Go' like you mentioned.
This was a club classic. I remember the Russ Parr Morning Show did a parody on this song. Hilarious. The words were “If you want me to sing, I’ll sing off key…”😂😂.
"First I'll teach her how to hear then sing"-IDK WHY that took me all the way out😂😂😂
But nawl Stevie you aint had to do my childhood like that. The beat made us bare the vocals.When the djs transitions to Wayne Wonder during this song, the crowd always go wild!
The way he looked at the camera when she started singing took me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So, true story: My best friend produced her followup track, which was "Puerto Rico 2006" or something like that..... And the stories from that recording session and engineering vocals are of LEGEND! She got a pass y'all.....just like Cassie. 💅🏽😂
Now I wanna know!
Not just like Cassie 🤭
Lol ok, but Im sorry there is a HUGE difference, because CASSIE CAN SING!
@@jennifermariemalave I'm always game to be proven wrong! 😂 Could you share a link to evidence of this?
I CRACKED up laughing at Stevie's facial expression at the beginning of the video when Lumidee sang OFF KEY!! LOL! It's okay Lumidee you tried your best and for a minute it worked BUT Whoo chile!! LOL!!
100 percent agree!!!!!! When I was in college this was everywhere and it made me cringe every time I heard it. I said every time how did this girl get this on the radio and in the clubs???? Her dad must be someone big in the industry
Lemme do you a favor: @4:15 his version is 🔥🤌🏽
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! The look on your face at 1:10!!! I did it at the exact same time!
I. 😳
AM. 😱
DEAD! 🤯
😅😂🤣😂🤣______👻☠️⚰️🪦💐😇
Stevie, I needed that laugh today more than you could imagine! 😄👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you 🙏🏽😊 so much for starting this part of your channel. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I’ve been subscribed for a good minute now and I look forward to your content more than watching TV or even movies now! Keep up the awesome new work!!!
Love it! 🤩🙌🏽💖
Please take care and wishing you excellent health, Sir! 💚
Have a beautiful day! 🌞🌻💛
Hey Cousin, because CLEARLY we are related. 🤣 That song was a HOT, FIERY, HELLISH MESS!
I remember thinking the EXACT same thing when this song came out. Everything else was good, but vocals were😧😟😟😟😟😟 soo out of tune and a mess. Auto-tune cranked to 100% and it still sounded bad. How does anyone talk out of tune? I didn't know it could be done. The beat and melody were EVERYWHERE though! MTV, BET, it was a HUGE HIT
I appreciate how you gave constructive criticism! You are a true professional. I love you to pieces ❤️
🤣🤣🤣 it sounds like it was recorded with one of those toddler microphones that only does the echo effect. AND, she's not even singing, she talking.
I always hated this song and felt it was horrible, now I feel sincerely validated. She really needed your help because your version, I would play.
This is how he's going to react when I start singing in his online monthly music class that I'm starting in a couple days 😂
This is old af!! But still a club banger
I figured it out from the prelude monologue before the song started up. Knowing Stevie Mackey from the Terrell Show, this is the only vocal performance (from a singer who specifically stated in interviews that she recognizes she can’t sing on key) he’d come after.
"No! I can't go on! My heart won't go on." LMAO
The best vocal coach reaction ever , and also great way to show the difference of and wannabe and a singer❤
I'm a 90s kid, and I agree with you lol I couldn't stand the vocals on this song when it first came out, and I still don't. But......it's contagious and grew on me after awhile lol. I won't listen to it for pleasure but, to party...yes! That's it though. Next song reaction suggestion: please react to Jessica Simpson's new cover of Particles by Nothing But Thieves. She's one of my favorite voices of the 90's pop girl genre, and I'm so excited she's healing and making music again.💜💙💚
Same 94. I was listening to this last week with fabolous and BUSTA remix they saved it 😂
This is hilarious 😂 🤣
Has someone let Stevie know that the children have already been ruined and now we're adults still remembering the summer of 2004 with this song 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stevie I love you. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I remember hearing this in the clubs in the UK, it was a huge hit.
I use to think how the rock stone can this be a hit and they let her record those vocals.
I have to agree you are just dancing to the beat.
I screamed when you even noticed the background singers and then you said Oh oh 🤣🤣🤣.
Thank you for actually singing it how it's meant to be. ❤️
I NEED THIS 30SEC MACKEY VERSION PLZZZ...Thnk you!
Dude literally gave it life..amazinggggg!
Lol 😂, This hands down has to be the BEST Intro to any TH-cam Video I’ve ever watched! I’m here for these Vocal Coach Reaction Videos 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.
Roflmao. This is in the same vein as Rihanna's pon de replay, and DJs would always blend those two. Are you anti-Riri 🤔🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂
I loved Pom de Replay. Ha
Steeeviiieeee!!!! I loved it when you fixed it! Sounded amazing❤️
Not "my heart won't go on"!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Stevie! 🤣🤣 the face when she was going flat
😂🤣🤪😜😝😆😂😅 for your beginning comments/analysis. Thanks for showing everyone how it can be a good song. I have to admit I like the song for the dancing aspect of it, but never really actually paid attention to the singers. Now, that’s all I’m going to think about whenever I hear this song 😂
😂😂😂😂 I was laughing so much!! You were still diplomatic friendly 🤣 You made my day !!! THANK YOU ❤
Love from Berlin 🌈
But Jesus! FINALLY someone who agrees with me!!!! The amount of artistes who killed this riddim… then this one comes in and just doo doos on it!
😂😂😂 your intro was so funny! I lately while being a little bit nostalgic i checked some oldies and this one was on the playlist.. when it started i was like o yeah this was a gd jam.. then few scds later am like wait what!!
wtf!! 🤦 I Couldnt keep it on!
at 12 this was my jam! but my adult ears can't take it. I haven't heard this in so long. It came out in 2003! I can't help doing a shoulder shimmy 😂😂😂
U sound so inspiring.. Don't know whether to smile or cry when I hear u... Get those goose bumps and butterflies
Lmfaoo the fact that you had me dying of laughter was enough but attacking one of my my younger adult me’s favorite bops was even better 🤣🤣🤣
This song had to come out around 03-05. It was always the beat that pulled us in lol. I'd agree that it's terrible.
In Caribbean culture its jumping on the RIDDIM. You'll find a lot of caribbean songs with the same RIDDIM different singers sometimes even 1 artiste has different songs on the same RIDDIM. This RIDDIM is called the diwali riddim and has been used for years. Maybe not the best vocal performance but at a passa passa/ fete/lime(caribbean party) it always get people dancing and singing uh oh.
Now 😂 in Lumidee’s defense, them folks did not care about that girl.. you could tell from the cover art. Sis had on pirate boots, a skirt, and probably one of them big ass belts with a shirt from Rainbow 😩
Uh, Oh, at first I thought someone was playing with you by throwing the pitch off purposely. Then I search for different links. Uh, Oh. I'm surprised no one tried to fix the pitches. You're hilariously. Your facial expressions are priceless. LOL, Now, let's talk about your version, YES and YES!!!.
Hahaha never thought Lumi was a vocalist but this was a bop 😂
Lumidee used to say she couldn’t sing in interviews back in the day! 😂😂 This was still the jam though. Fabulous on the remix… 🔥
Your "Noooo" at 3:38! I needed that laugh today 😂😂😂
This is still a bop 😂! You turned it into an as the word turns theme song 😩🥴
As a musician I understand what you talkin about but I grew up on the song as well it's not like we can erase it from our playlist
STOP STEVIE BECAUSE THIS IS MY JAMMMMM!!!! HIS FACE TOOK ME OOOOUTTTT!
I love your version 😍😍😍
It came out in 2003. There’s also a remix featuring Busta Rhymes and Fabulous.
Lmao Lumidee LumiDONT 😩😩😩
I caught that too!!! 🤪😅😂🤣
It’s amazing how you can make any song sound sexy 😂 even the bad ones. You are one talented man.
This is a Basement Party classic... Shout out to my 80s babies.
came out in 2003, I don't care it's my jam!! sounds good too me 🤣🤣🤣 and nicki got inspired to use that beat from her track and she collecting a bag off that hit.
loool I was expecting some recent release 😩This is a throwback! Stevie like: exactly! Throw it back where it came from 😂 I'd stil jam to it at a summer prrtey tho 💃🏽
As a kid I loved the beat but I used to feel like wtf. I haaaate how I sounded recorded but hey, confidence is key!! 😂😂😂😂
THIS IS OUR DOWNFALL!!! 😅🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😅😅😆😆😆😆😅😅😅😆😆😁😄😄😁😆😅😅🤣🤣😂😂🙂😂🤣🤣😅
Tbh: as a kid this was my jam, as a adult this shit is absolute trash. As soon as I saw the title I started laughing, uncontrollably.
Ok, Stevie! Now you have to record your rendition!
Why did I already know what song it was as soon as you said someone played it at a party? lol I had to endure this song all throughout high school.
Lumidee holla at your boy cause I love the original (fight me) and I would LOVE to see version 2.0 with you & Stevie!! 🤩🤩
You’ve been humble long enough big cousin 😂😂😂 just don’t ever talk about me like this
It's 2021, and I now know who sang this. Its a bop because of the beat...... It's all in the beat.....🤣🤣
I agree!!! The thing that blows me about this song is the 8o8 in the song has a tone and because it’s the first thing you hear, I think that’s the key… NOPE!!! she’s singing against it the whole time!!! Makes me CRINNNNNGE!!!!!
It took me out when he said, “ I wont go one, my heart won’t go on” 😂 😂 😂
Okay let me stop crying with laughter long enough to articulate this comment... Stevie this video from your facial expressions and commentary to the feedback in the comments sections has both given me life and yet has me dying with laughter! I Just... Thank you, thank you 😂 😂
How am I JUST realizing the vocals are a hot mess on this when I used to love it back in the day 😂😂
That is such a ROUGH song. Even just the first few seconds you can tell it'll be a train wreck. Unfortunately. It just got worse from there. I had such a look by the time you stopped it after what...20 seconds or something? Dang! I've never heard of her. Now I wish I'd never heard of that song. Yikes.
"lumidee ... Lumidon't ". I can't 😂😂
Don't be mean to Lumidee. I prefer her version then the one you played on the piano. Nobody wants to her no slowed down party song.
Lmaooo not "her little friends" doing background 😂😭 and the fact that we actually thought it was FIRE when it dropped is horrifying 😂😂😂
This song is the results of a slow but steady decline in the talent pool. I’m a little older and the artist that ran the charts did so because of the talent they possessed. Technology has made it so anyone and everyone thinks they have the stuff and unfortunately the audiences have grown to expect less. It’s really a sad sad situation.

He knows what he is talking about! The song has no dynamics and half the time the key is off. Great fix Stevie!
Damn…just ruined my childhood 🥴😩🤣🤣 I used to love this song. And now listening with 2021 ears 😬
I love those comments already ready for em 😂😂😂🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
When I heard this song, I immediately thought this gotta be somebody's niece. They owe her daddy a favor.
“This is a used beat and she’s just gon ruin it for everyone” lmao
If it weren't for Mean Girls this song probably would have disappeared into obscurity! Lol. Also, I didn't realize the brilliance of not putting any melodic instruments in this song until you pointed it out.
That was the jam back in the days ❤️😂
Awesome remake loooved
Omg thank you! It’s like intentionally off key or something, I’ve always had an issue with this song!
This is a classic. Even though her vocals are off. At the time this was released she got flack for years about the vocals. This is great. No this song was never created to be sang perfectly. I prefer Lumidee.
Man, I couldn’t agree more 🤣🤣🤣I always hated this song and thought it was a joke. How could the producers and engineers let this come out? That sounded good to them? 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 okay I didn't wanna laugh, but I had to come back here 4 times🤣🤣🤣 thinking I'm probably high
Stevie you have forever RUINED any enjoyment I’ve ever had for this song….DAYUMMM!!! Lol
putting Fab and Busta Rhymes on the remix is what really saved the track. i swear
You can't stop radio DJs From playing it
"This is our downfall."...HILARIOUS!
Right when the beat started, I busted out laughing because I already knew what song it was and I've always felt the same way as you do about this stupid song.
🤣 I wasn’t a huge fan of this song cause I never understood what she was saying except for the main chorus. Hearing it again now that I’m older the off-key singing is so obvious😅
But that initial look though 0:51 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Lowest form of music” sounds way worse than it’s bad 😂😂😂
Now, I want to send you my little cover of Skinny Love. Please, tell me about myself. 😂😂😂😂
Honestly I thought he was going to say Cassie's Me & U. When they take a dancehall beat Wayne Wonder tried to use it for a reggaeton like song
When this song came out... me and my church choir friends started pretending to sing off key on purpose when we hung out....
Bro called this the worst song ever. Bro has a bad taste in music then 😂 bro gonna be butthurt. This song is a banger idgaf what y’all say. Worst reaction ever if u gonna diss a banger
finished your great masterclass and I recognise that iconic leather jacket😍
Ive been saying that she can’t sing 😂😂thank u
This came out after the 80's 😵💫. I was your back up for those last 30 seconds with some uh oh uh oh oh no no 🤣😂
