En Vogue- giving him something he can feel
He can't handle that one...don't do that to him. ;)
@@JackReacts904 I was about to suggest that one because its my fav. one from En Vogue. Hope you can handle this one Jack. Don't pass out in the car😅😭🤣
Oh yes please do Giving him something he can feel. I can't wait!🤩
Free Your Mind - En Vogue
Fav all time.
Back when women had real bodies and actual talent. En Vogue is the absolute truth🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Free your Mind".... Ahead of its time and balanced everyone sings Lead
And the relevance the song has today along with video that could easily come out today.
htbald1 True indeed
All due respect, bro...It was right on time back then...it just goes to show you that we are still fighting the same battles we had back then. This song is timeless. Whatever time period you play this song in, it will be right on time.
Came out in 1990 - this song hit hard!
@@JackReacts904 Music from 70s/80s/90s was much more daring and musical than music nowadays. I could be biased as I was born in '81 but music nowadays just doesn't give me the feels like music from these days. I just find everyone so vanilla and meh.
@C d a lot of music today lost its soul
@@JackReacts904 Welcome to the 90s. Envogue, Xscape, TLC, and SWV dominated R&B and Hip Hop in the early 90s. Please react to Free Your Mind by Envogue?
I stepped out the car to this song playing on the school speakers pumping music outside, for prom.
This came out in 1990. They predate the other main girl groups that were popular in the 90s and really were the foundation of the 90s female R&B sound
Especially with the fashion
Supremes
Destiny’s Child were very heavily influenced by En Vogue, as evidenced by that triplet synchopated phrasing, the heavy R&B hip hop beats. This was the tail end of New Jack Swing, groups like them and BBD were pushing the sound forward.
@@noelanivelez5299 the op said EnVogue predate the other main girl groups that were popular in the 90's and the foundation of 90's female r&b sound. The Supremes were a soul music girl group from the 60's & 70's. They set the tone for girl groups BUT, as far as r&b girl groups go, EnVogue set the the standard for the 90's female girl groups in particular.
Fun Fact: They're singing Smokey Robinson and the Miracles' "Who's Lovin' You" in the beginning :). That song's been covered by many groups and solo singers, including The Temptations, The Supremes, The Jackson 5 (their version is touted as the most famous, with an 11-year-old MJ on the lead vocals), and Lauryn Hill at age 13 (she sang it for the notoriously picky Apollo crowd, and they booed her at first but she continued and eventually got a standing ovation
Michael did it next level.
DARRYL B Yup! I absolutely bloody LOVE En Vogue, but he did that same intro solo AGED ELEVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Ohhh thank you Ally the whole time I thought it was an original Jackson 5 song
In allot of ways if you go back and listen to how MJ sang Who's Lovin' You?, you'll hear Terry pattern her vocal stylings after his. Incredible!!
There will never be a female vocal group like En Vogue again. One of the only groups that could all sing lead. Also we all had a crush on En vogue.All very very beautiful indeed😍
Funky?? Yes Jack, great call, They are also known as "The Funky Divas"
Facts!!!!!💯✔️💜🔥
The funky ass sample is actually from James Browns ‘The Payback’. The bass lick is unreal.
I just listened to The Payback, dont you think the guitar part sounded like Never gonna get it?
@@briancharles9237 Yes. They used it there as well.
LL took it after with Booming Basement!
After 30 years I finally realized the bald guy with the saxophone is Djimon hounsou.
Reggie Brown Hahaha Me too! I thought I was tripping.
just noticed
Hold up. OMG.
@@nicn9776 😆
he was in janet's love will never do without you video the same year lol and he was on the pilot episode of 90210 in the same year as well...djimon was everywhere in 1990
They all were fine AF!
En Vogue was like if one group was made of four Beyonce's back in the day lol
Still so fine!!!!
@@JackReacts904 one of them was a model before they joined the group
I love this song! You have to do En Vogue "My Loving You're Never Gonna Get It" and "Giving Him Something He Can Feel" and "Free Your Mind". All ICONIC
Terry Ellis the one who led the acapella, is from my city, Houston and she is the SWEETEST!
You met her??? Omg please tell me all about it !!! You’re so lucky
Yeah I met them all. She was my favorite
When this song dropped, whenever it dropped, EVERYONE HIT THE DANCE FLOOR!!! I remember when it came out!
The LEGENDARY Iconic En Vogue
They were FIERCE! Talented beautiful, just such great music.
This is the goat female group all time. Watch their live performances; they all can dance, sing and are talented enough to be leads
Envogue are vocal monsters! I think to this day their vocal is unmatched!
The intro to the accapella part of the debut song "Hold On" is sung by Terry Ellis. The uptempo of this song was sung by Cindy Herron with back up vocals of Maxine Jones, Dawn Robinson and Terry Ellis. En Vogue are the gold standard of the perfect four point harmonies.
The year was 1989 when this Gem dropped. I remember seeing the video first and was HOOKED and like overnight they were STARS and so were those little black dresses because dress sales went up 200% please believe me. Radio exploded when this joint dropped and the rest was history they are famous for bringing back the girl group because at that time no one was checking for girl groups and that is WHY til this day EnVogue is so highly regarded and respected for bringing the LOVE for girl groups. ENVOGUE is LEGENDARY, ICONIC, TRENDSETTERS & FASHIONISTAS. Their vocal game is UNMATCHED!!!
Their very first release ever. Great debut single and album
This why they are the best female group of the "90's! Period!
You are absolutely right. Every one in this group can sing lead. “Giving Him Something He Can Feel”, “Never Gonna Get It”, and “Whatta Man” are some of their staples.
When you can, please check out (no need to make a video if you don’t want lol) their rendition of The National Anthem. They’re wearing black suits. Derek Jeter was SHOOK!
This song was a huge club hit at the time. Other female groups who had amazing vocals in the 1990s were: Brownstone - Grapevyne, If you love me, 5 miles to empty.Jade - Don't walk away.
This was my SOOOOONG in college!!!!! En Vogue was and is fierce. Ultimate club song years ago.
Love that you're doing more En Vogue! Do "Free Your Mind" the song and video will blow you away.
@@JackReacts904 Yes! They speak prejudice from every level. "Never Gonna Get It."
The beginning part was sang by a young Michael Jackson on the song "Who's Loving You" 💯💯💯 I believe it was written by Smokey Robinson
Yes, Smokey wrote and performed it with his group the miracles first. Speaking of Smokey Robinson and the miracles, tracks of my tears is a classic.
You have an impeccable taste in music young man, I’m addicted to your channel, Do your thang 💜
The voices of these ladies!!!!
Young man you have no idea. This was En Vogue's first hit. I live in the area where the group got their start. Like the song says morning, noon and night that song was on rotation on the radio here. And of course as you now know they all can sing.
En Vogue is THEE female group vocalist of all time. Bar the supremes.
En vogue were ground breaking in 1990 fusing RnB with hip hop beat, then came TLC with their fun RnB style, then SWV with their angelic youthful harmonies. They were the first pioneers of RnB girl groups. The top3 of all time in the 90s.
I was just watching some En Vogue videos before I came across yours. They are the first black/brown American girl group of the early 90s era/generation. I remember exactly when En Vogue came out. Picture it: Summer of 1990. I still remember the name of the street I lived on, nine Lewis St. I was either in elementary or junior high. *"Hold On"* was and still is their number one hit/single. They're not called the *Funky Divas* for nothing. *Their live performance* of *"Hold On"* is off the hook. I still have their first behind the scenes on VHS. I could go on about those women.
En Vogue Vocals is breathtaking! I just recently watch them perform a live version of this while in quarantine. They still got it! Jack if you have any free time you should watch it.
One out of three #2 singles they had. It's a crime they never went #1 with a song. The sample is from James Brown's "The Payback". Fun Fact: they used this sample again on their other hit "My Lovin".
Jalil Manson that “The Payback” sample is UNDEFEATED!!
They never went number #1? Hard to believe.
Vocally the greatest female group!
And they still all look and sound just as good TIL THIS DAY!
This brings back memories from when I was high school in the early 90's, En Vogue was very big at that time, .All four of them were beautiful and classy women
I could watch this video over and over, swingin them hips side to side. Lawd!!!! And yes, the groove of the song, and thier spectacular voice were on point!!
Reaction request: Groove Theory- “tell me”
Earl Roy was thinking this too
Ari Lennox- Whipped Cream
Ari Lennox- BMO
Ari Lennox- Up Late
En Vogue the Funky Divas! They were amazing to see live
The best female vocal group EVER!
Love the theme of today’s post for the groups
You should react to En Vogue - Free your mind
Yes, you'll love Free Your Mind!
There is so much En Vogue to explore, Jack. Top 5: Waiting on You, Free Your Mind, Giving Him Something He Can Feel, Just Can't Stay Away, and Runaway Love
When I was younger.....Wooooooo these ladies brought the class and the kick ass!!!! My friends and I did this song in our talent show in high school. We tried to pay homage but nahhhh they had too much talent for us! We thought we did the damn thang though.
Tonight has been ladies night! The beginning sounds like if birds could sing that how they would sound. Just melodic, no excessive runs. Perfect.
RIP LITTLE RICHARD
RIP ANDRE HARRELL
More young people need to listen to 90's RnB music. So much better than the trash they call RnB now.
They sounded like angels.The best girl group ever.💙💜💙
I vote for "Giving Him Something He Can Feel" by Envogue, and Brownstone's, "If You Love Me" (a capella version). The Best!!!
real singing bro........ 90's cant beat it
En Vogue "Givin Him Something He Can Feel", "Lies", "Free Your Mind", "You Don't Have To Worry", and "My Lovin..."
Hi Jack!! These ladies were known as the "funky divas." Please react to their song, "Don't go," its my favorite by them. Thanks. 😍👍
It was mine also until I heard part of me that song hits my spirit
Beyonce always said Destiny´s Child was most inspired by En Vogue. They even shared the same vocal coach. Beyonce´s creative director from her early solo career, Frank Gatson Jr., choreographed a lot of En Vogues performances and videos.
React to En Vogue Free Your Mjnd next.
You are awesome!!!!!!
I agree!
This was they're first single
Actually, this song was sampled in a LL Cool J song called "Booming System." You might want to check that one out too. He has a video for it.
And of course James Brown, lol
@@lewalcindor9356 payback🔥🔥
Yes!!!
Actually LL sampled them. "Hold On" came out before the "Booming System", although both came outing 1990 (it messed me up happily when picking up on it and made me aware of concept of the sample)..
@@TSquared2001 That's what i said lol
I couldn't go ANYWHERE and not hear this everywhere I went back then.
Jack my dude.... this was a club banger! From their 1st cd....it was an international hit ...
My all time favourite group!
The Genius of the LEGENDARY Iconic Mr James Brown aka the Godfather of soul
Yaaaas lol....this came out 1990 , takes me back to the 6th grade .....looooove me some En Vogue
@@JackReacts904 check out "Runaway Love" and "Whatever"
I love this song. I remember when I used to have this song on repeat 😁😁
Simply amazing song, I love it!!!
Jack. You're very perceptive. It WAS 2 songs melded into 1. The beginning is a cover of the Jackson 5 hit "WHO'S LOVING YOU" (actually others have done it, but their version is the first that came to mind. Look it up, you'll enjoy seeing "little MJ" killing it with the ad libs.
@@JackReacts904 Who's living you is a song by The Miracles, written by Smokey Robinson who was like family to Michael Jackson. The Jackson 5 covered it in 1969 and Smokey Robinson had said ever since that the J5 version is better than his and that Michael's vocals were amazing as he sang with the soul of a 45 year old, but he was only 10/11 ❤️
This song released in the summer of 1990 changed r&b...that bass line...the vocals...that back beat...r&b with a heavy hip hop influence...nothing sounded like this! R&B was coming off that Soul II Soul back beat(literally every song had that song in 1989)...this was something fresh and new! Number 1 for 2 weeks!
As you already noted, all members could sing lead and carry the group. It seems Cindy (singing lead on this track) and Terry (the acapella) shined in lead roles on the group's debut album. On the second album, Dawn and Maxine sang lead mostly. I have a feeling you will really enjoy "My Lovin' (Never Gonna Get It). Maxine and Dawn popped off on that one!
"Hold On" is a song by American girl group En Vogue. It was released in early 1990 as the lead single from their debut album, Born to Sing. The song was produced by Denzil Foster and Thomas McElroy, and composed by the former two and all members of En Vogue. It peaked at number 5 in the UK and number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US. In addition, the song reached number-one on the Billboard Dance Club Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. In 2017, "Hold On" was ranked number 4 in Spin magazine's ranking of The 30 Best ’90s R&B Songs.
(you've probably done your homework by now but thats Cindy Herron-Braggs on lead vocals and Terry Ellis doing the acapella. Just an FYI: they've sung Hold On LIVE at every single concert they've ever done and its always flawless).
Jack at 6:02 ayeee....I love when you get into it 😁❤
The beat sample in this song is 'The Boomin' System' by LL Cool J which used 'The Payback' by James Brown.
Don't Let Go (Love) was primarily led by Dawn, Maxine sang the bridge, while Cindy and Terry ad-libbed the last two chorus! This song is led by Terry (during the acapella), and Cindy! And this came out in 1989 (on radios) but 1990 as a physical single
Wow I was so obsessed with them back then. I remember winning and autograph picture over the radio. Man I miss the 90s
Love En Vogue so much! Want to hear another group with great vocals and harmony, check out Brownstone, "If You Love Me" or "Grapevyne". Either one, you will not be disappointed. They will blow your mind.
En Vogue: Give him something he can feel...!!!!!
also Whatta man!
Dude I was 15 when this came out and it was on repeat constantly. MTV and on every radio station! This song was so damn dope! It’s still a jam!
I love that you singled out the triplet flow (Cindy is fire with that stuff!) right after recognising how fine she is 😂 Straight facts lol. Also their looks were so iconic some of their dresses are in the Smithsonian!
This is the one that started it all!! 30yrs of excellence, from 1990 then, to 2020, now!!
Hi Jack. So glad you gave this one a listen. The names of the members are Terri who led the acapella, then Cindy who sang lead when the music dropped. And Max far left, Terri in the middle, Dawn far right after the acapella.
Hold on was released at the end of 1989 (Dec. 5th), and it was THE hit party song all through 1990.
We did have house parties with their music. My sister's used to though them and record our dancing. I was a kid but I got to hang out with their college friends. It was good times.
The intro was made famous by Michael Jackson when he was a little boy but the song is actually Smokey Robinson! The song is “Who’s Lovin You! If You want chills up and down your spine go see young Michael hit that intro
yes!!
This was such a monster hit back in the day, Jack! You just don't know, lol. When this song dropped we all knew these girls were gonna be super-duper stars! This was En Vogue's very first single. And yes, Cindy Herron is so, so, so, so fine. I don't know if you ever watched the movie "Juice" starring Tupac Shakur and Omar Epps, but Cindy had a key role in that movie (as the main character Q's [Epps] love interest). If you haven't seen that movie, I highly suggest you do. Great performance by Tupac Shakur as the villain of the story.
Free your mind should be the next song from them. It’s on another level
💥boom 💥 you fell the strength of pasdion in your soul 💓all-time favorite
These were the times when being able to sing A cappella. Every person in a group and solo artists. Singers were not just "Entertainers".
They were once called The Supremes Of The Video Age. Them, SWV, Xscape were some of the Biggest Female R & B Groups in the 1990's. Here's another fun fact. When they were in the Top Ten with "Hold On" Wilson Phillips (A Trio who are the children of The Beach Boys & The Mamas & The Papas) were also in the Top Ten with Hold On (Another Song, not theirs). Carnie Wilson said they were blown away by their vocals. The Beginning they sang a snippet of "Who's Loving You" by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. Today that is the song that so many folks sing when they audition for the X Factor in The UK.
Flippin' love song!
This was their 1st joint. The song they were singin a capella as an intro, is Smokey Robinson's, 'Who's Lovin You', made popular by an incredible9 or 10 yr. old Michael Jackson with the J-5. That was Terry leading on that part, wit them come hither-if-you-dare eyes...lol! Cindy is the lead on the Hold On groove. You already heard Don't Let Go. Their other hits:
Free Your Mind
Givin Him Somethin He Can Feel (their take on an Aretha Franklin)
Never Gonna Get It - a killer, & probably became their most popular hit.
These were the days when you had to be exceptional to be really successful in music. Either you were an incredible vocalist, or writer or dancer/performer or all of the above. This is what I don't like about auto tune. They can create a career around the least talented people and it gives everybody the same soulless, generic sound.
Specifically, I recommend the following:
Sweet Love by Anita Baker
Ain't nobody, through the fire, and tell me something good by Chaka Khan
Hang on to your love, sweet operator, no ordinary love, your love is king, somebody already broke my heart, and your love is king by Sade
A cappella part is verse/chorus from a song that Jackson 5 did called, ‘Who’s Lovin You’, which 10 or 11 yr old Michael sang like he was grown. You can hear his James Brown ballad influence when you hear it. Who’s Lovin You was actually written by Smokey Robinson of the group, the Miracles, back in the Motown days. En Vogue’s work was always top production & musically on point, often slammin, with killin sometimes sophisticated harmony arrangements. They even ventured into the rock sound slightly, with ‘Free Your Mind. You should also check, ‘Givin Him Something He Can Feel’, originally done by Aretha Franklin. Both uses have great videos as well. I think they’re biggest hit, also with great video, was ‘Never Gonna Get It’. Seems they could’ve gotten more mileage out of their career as a group, but unfortunately there seemed to be some discord (pun intended) that came up & caused discontent, probably concerning bidness.They performed for awhile as a trio & I did see all 4 back together on some show where they sang to a track, but looks like it’s run it’s course. Cool reaction! 👍
They are the funky divas!
The one who did most of the singing in this song also was in the movie “Juice”.
They sound just as good live! You should listen to another hit by them "My Lovin" and also listen to Jackson 5's "Who's Loving You"
@2:12 She was Miss San Francisco back in the day. I have a picture of my dad and her hugged up. That's probably why he doesn't mind returning to the Bay...
I love Envogue - Whatever
I know you like a good message, fire vocals, and rocking music. So gotta hit that En Vogue's "Free Your Mind". You should try Salt n Pepa "Whatta Man", they're featured on the chorus on that song. I think you'd really like that song period because it's good...
❤️❤️❤️👍🏼 I was in Junior high when this came out….. I miss the days !!! Feels like it was just yesterday when I reminisce on it …. Thanks for the reaction Jack awesome 🤩
I love your reactions Jack, especially the MJ songs.
