- Xscape is one of my favorite girl groups from the 90s. The members consist of LaTocha Scott, Tamika Scott, Kandi Burruss, and Tameka "Tiny" Cottle. Vocally this group was the best of their competitors around that time. I'm glad they are officially back together.
Here's Part 2 - Xscape (Kandi, Tiny, Latocha, and Tamika) amazing vocals! | BET SPECIAL 1998 :
• Xscape (Kandi, Tiny, L...
Anyway, enjoy the video!
This is a bonus video of Xscape's Best live vocals. I can't wait to hear how they sound together in 2017:

They have reunited, they are back together and will be performing at Essence Festival as well as a show in Detroit is July.
Angelfully can you do Silk?

Tiny is lowkey underrated. Everyone forgets her success with Xscape meanwhile people see T.I. as the successful one. I didn't know how talented of a singer she was until I really listened to them.
Cameron Hailey Exactly! She doesn't get enough credit. Smh.
Anaiah-Zaccai Wilson Ikr 💯
also, Tiny and Kandi are grammy award wininnig song writers(for TLC etc.)....
Kendall Minor Yes, they are!
Anaiah-Zaccai Wilson tiny is sooo underrated her voice is beautiful, and kandi voice is amazing but tiny and kandi been killing the scene
Kandi going from doing the lower part to hitting those high notes is very impressive. You can’t deny that range.
They are all great as a GROUP.
And they keep trying to deny it. #haters
Tamika Scott vocals are so underrated! She is the most consistent live to me. And I love Tiny's tone, it's so sweet.
Betty Millz YES
Exactly!!
Betty Millz I was literally going to type this.
Betty Millz I agree! tamika voice was always my fave
Betty Millz kandi n her had the beef, and even kandi has said that Tamika had the BIGGEST voice in the group
Tiny's tone, control, and range gave her the makings of one of the best singers. If she'd been consistent over the years, she'd be so amazing today.
Eric Tucker I blame T.I.
Monica Logan you would be correct. He has always discouraged her from returning to music because sadly he's threatened by his own wife's star power.
Eric Tucker , Tiny has been consistent. she has recent material, on TH-cam look up Timeka "Tiny" Cottle. I guess whenever T.I. had her in her feelings she writes songs. FYI she does have a studio at home...
Kendall Minor I'm speaking to her performances on the level of xscape. consistently perfecting her craft. I've seen her music on TH-cam. it's dope. but prior to this reunion, even tiny herself claimed she didn't sing anymore.
Eric Tucker, now that i understand. imma a forreal die hard Xscape fan, Tiny has been my favorite from the beginning and I am dude. been wishing they would get back together since high school and im 30...
Tiny and her growls are amazing
Jay'Rell 4Real I think Tiny was always underated!! TBH, I think she had the highest voice but tone down for Tocha to outshine them. What you think?
daychild1989 I agree
Jay'Rell 4Real you are so right!! She kill them every time
I think Tocha is #3 after Tamika and then Tiny and I think Tamika was just a more confident singer than Tiny so she took more risks than Tiny. We probably don't now what Tiny was capable of with all of that range.
I love Tiny growls as well but I haven't heard hear lately doing them.
I LIVE for
Tamika's control and mid-belts
Kandi's head voice
Tiny's growls
and Tocha's upper belts
The Scott sisters can sang not leaving Tiny out the one I like the least is Kandi's voice . 👍🏽
I don’t know why, but “Kandi’s head voice” took me out!
@@dawnpratt846 You don't really know anything then
@@dawnpratt846 kandi has the best high notes ever
@@Jamilah1117 Yea that head voice is something special and the clarity in her voice is priceless....I'd love for her to show off her runs and her falsetto but her parts don't require it when the other ladies can take those parts with their voices....that low register is something underappreciated
Tiny can sing
3 can, Kandi can't sing, sorry, not sorry.
@@babyjoker5395 GIRL WHAT
@@babyjoker5395 she doesnt sing the way u want her to sing but she sing her voice is unique
@@babyjoker5395 Kandi can sing decently, she's just not the high belter type you all want for a singer.
I didnt know kandi was the one hitting that high note these girls was awesome then and now yaaas
everyone think the scott sister was the only ones could sing but do not sleep on Tiny!!! she didn't get showcased enough
I agree, that's what disappointed me. Tiny was just getting to the meat of her verses.
Robert H True I hope if or when they make a new album Kandi and Tiny will be more in the front bc its refreshing hearing Tinys voice then alot of hollering on certain songs but they are one Awesome group glad they are coming back
Elbony NC LMAO not "hollering" (lotocha coughs)
Elbony NC you mustve never watched their music videos when they came out
No matter the day or time Tamika Scott sounds just like the track she’s everything
CONSISTENT & TALENTED
So sad she didn't have solo line in "Little Secret".
@@eleeveeayees3425 I think she didn’t like the song
Whether they're broke up, together, on a mental hiatus of being happy, mad, sad, tolerant or intolerant of each other
both sisters have 💪🏿 consistent vocals any time and/or place hands down!🥰
@@colbyjack5736 you're right. She didn't like the message of the song so she didn't want a main part.
Tiny was so cute, her lil self.
My opinion:
Kandi- most distinctive/unique
Tasha- most powerful/best runs
Tamika- most consistent/versatile
Tiny- most polished/commercial
Totally agree
SPOT ON!!!!
🎯
I think it’s Tocha - most flexible (the runs) and Tamika - most strong
BINGO!!!!!!!
dang, Kandi still look the same! black don't crack.
Diana Stephens
Jackie Reaves no she doesn’t. She says all the time she don’t drink
Right
But it does get fat
For y’all that think Kandi can’t hold her own!!! She definitely can!!!
you are so right it upsets me when someone just lie on anyone like I see them doing kandi
I just don't understand where this comes from, how are people questioning Kandi's vocals, we didn't in the 90s.
@@wordsbymaribeja1470they hate on Kandi because she has a unique voice and doesn’t sound like everybody else.
them two sisters can sang
Yes lawd
jet blue right
yess!
Why y’all on just the two sisters when all of them can sing 🎤 y’all some negative ass people and haters
Scott's sisters
Tamika Scott is the most consistent FACTS
Jay'Rell 4Real FACTS
Jay'Rell 4Real Big ol facts 💯
Jay'Rell 4Real actually...her voice is huge but she was NO stranger to being pitchy..because of it..ending those big notes w control is the hardest part..
Jay'Rell 4Real I've been saying this for the past 29 yrs. Tamika Scott has power, soul, and range. they did not use her enough in the group. She killed "So Hard to say Goodbye"
Jay'Rell 4Real I've meant 20 yrs
Yasss Tiny with that growl!!!
A P. Still is lol
Each of them have such a distinct sound that Xscape would not be Xscape without all four voices! Individually their all great but all 4 voices together is absolutely magical! I'm sooo glad that their back together after all these years. These young artists of today need to take notes because this is what you call pure raw talent!!!
Dillin Rivera YES , I TOTALLY AGREE!
Yes maam you said that
Dillin Rivera Amen""🎶🎵🎤🎧🎼❄🎄❄❄❄❄🎄🎄🎄🎅🎅🎅🎅
Agreed!You lose one member and it messes up the dynamic!
I agree
Kandi is underrated! Tiny too
just her range..thats it
Jermaine Benson what you mean?
Chris you said it...... they were the BEST......and plus they were smart, they write songs.....and can SANG them too.....
Chris Coyne I love tiny and kandi voice....when tiny really sings she sangs
Chris Coyne they be sleeping on Tiny
Kandi hits that note effortlessly.
Considering how LOW she goes, Clearly she has the most range.
Her voice isn’t really that low. She forces her voice to grip that low by dropping her larynx. She’s a light lyric soprano
I agree she had the most range
@@reggiemitchell5198 no
@@Theredeyedjedi yes…
@@reggiemitchell5198 no
Tiny's vocals😍😍😍😍
Kandi’s unique sound, holding down the bottom, signature high notes, and that sultry yet raw tone IS the GROUP!!!
They all can sing….I love Tamika’s and Tiny’s vocals! ❤
One of my favorite groups ever! Very rare to have a group where everyone can sing lead well.
MikeJMCarey93 Truth!!!!
MikeJMCarey93. true that live these girls.
MikeJMCarey93 sho nuff!!! i could not have said it better!!!!!
cathy thomas swv , destinys child, brownstone, or en vogue. Everyone can sing lead on those groups too.
Cameron Hailey that's why I said rarity lol. Plus all members sung on their biggest hits...not some random album cuts general fans wouldn't know. Which SWV nor Brownstone cant say.
It's crazy how even in the old days you can see the separation between Kandi and LaTocha on the stage. All of these ladies have beautiful voices❤️✨
I think Kandi is a Dugazon soprano, a very unique voice type. That's why her voice has so many weird qualities, high soft palette, heavy low register and a high falsetto extension
Am I the only one who like Kandi voice
baldw1 yea
baldw1 nope I've always loved her voice
nope. I love her voice too.
nope I've always loved kandi 's voice
baldw1 I really like her voice too. I bought her last recent solo album . Her voice is very unique to me, and she has the broadest range of the whole group, top (head voice whistle register) to bottom.
Kandi is to Xscape what Tboz is to TLC .. Kandi add's that uniqueness to the group, especially when they harmonize, her voice stands out the most.
Wendy Shipp U so right no lie. Tboz mane just 🔥
Wendy Shipp I'm saying and said thee same thing!!!!
Wendy Shipp Yes! I can't take a whole album of just Kandi, but all of them together 🔥
Wendy Shipp yes definitely she is literally all the chorus harmonies
Her voice does NOT stand out the most, girl stop!
Kandi’s voice is sooo unique I hate that ppl hate on it
For me her voice gave XSCAPE its own brand, she might not be the best vocalist of the group.
They all can sing to me
Monique Cruickson facts
Yes all 4 🙌🏾
Kandi can't sing imo,but to each their own.
Yes I agree
They all have their own lanes as a group.🥰🤩
Tiny’s tone is what really possessed me to love her voice
she does have a good tone
THOSE HAIR STYLES THOUGH DID YALL SEE THEM AND FLASH BACK.
That Ricki Lake performance tho. Blast from the past. Tamika Scott had that fan high up there. Gold & copper colored 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wore many of them
At the 6:10 mark....😂😂😂😂😂
It's funny how all of Tiny's kids look exactly like her. I'm laughing looking at King in a wig. lol
I think Tiny & Tamika should have had more leads! Listen to All I Need...#case closed
My favorite Xscape song ever. Tamika Scott wrote it
Omg thats that 💩
They do!!!
I agree with you about Tamika . But apparently she never came to the studio . I think if she woulda showed up she woulda had more leads
About to listen to it now
I wish we paid more attention to tiny voice it was cute and strong ❤️
Tiny can really sing but she's very humble
Kandis Falsetto, Tamikas mid belts, and Latocha's upper belting and runs made this video perfect!
ccishot564 don't forget about Tiny!
mee white bye hater!!!
mee white wow
ccishot564 runs? Her runs were atrocious and uncontrolled
Ariana Racquel 7:40? 8:20? 9:18?
All of their voices are EQUAL!!!!! EVERYBODY compliments each other! They NEED each other,they're all sooooo great!
Definitely
Kandi looks and sounds exactly the same. that just goes to show you what a life *without* drugs and alcohol can do for you.
Blake Gildaphish you can say that again!!!!
She drinks
@@sahm6192 no she dont
You mean she still can't sing?
Pharaoh Tone 🎯
The blending is absolutely superb. All 4 voices are necessary in this group. They all support each other I just wish they would realize it😢
Latocha the only one. That doesn't understand that....😅😂
I don't understand why people say Kandi can't sing!...She's a strong vocalist!...I love her voice!
I’m late but I didn’t know she was hittin some of them high notes, go kandi 😆
I'm one of them. It sounds like she's singing from her nose.
I didn't know she was hitting those high notes.
Did you see her singing on housewives
I think people just don’t like her tone, people don’t appreciate lower female voices like the did in the 90s, and I think Kandi’s tone has gotten darker as she aged and she might have lost her mixed voice
She cant sing she is the weakest in the group
All these critics.. I wonder if y'all can sing at all?? These women sound great back then and now. Give them their props and keep it moving!!!
Just like that!💯
They most def cant lol
Just because we can’t sing doesn’t mean we can’t speak on their voices or have favorites. I haven’t seen one comment that said neither of them can sing. Most of not all were positive comments.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As xscapes number one fan im qualified to say this was an EXCELLENT video showcasing each members voice and them as a whole! This video showed was ive always known, xscape is one of the best female vocal groups of all time! All four members are great vocalists in their own right. Kandi has a tone that you either love or hate but she has amazing control in her lower register but can go up into the rafters in a beautiful and controlled head voice and that shows SKILL. Tiny is a lyric soprano and executes her little growls flawlessly and without losing pitch. And she carries the soprano harmonies well. Tocha has a very powerful voice and def shines in her upper chest belts. Thats something a singer just has or doesnt have. Cant be taught. Tamika is my favorite vocally bc i just love her tone. She is the most consistent pitch-wise live, and shows the most control and musicality in her adlibs. And when she gets into that mixed squall she has such an authentic churchy type of sound. Its like there such a genuine anointing in her voice. Everyone wont get that. Lol all four can blow.
This was a damn near professional review!Very well thought out and true!
Leandre Williams thanks! Im thinking abt doing vocal reviews on my channel. Lol
Justin Webber lemme know if you could review some Faith Evans from back in the day
Justin Webber I'd definitely watch😍Go ahead with ya bad self
Justin why so many people hating on Kandi's voice or just her.? Too much hate on a person that they have never met in a personal setting
if i would have known Tiny back n the day till now i would have told her as a friend sister or cousin that honey u are beautiful u dont need to change nothing about u.. your beautiful the way u are
Chanel Blake preach sis
She really was!!!
I was just saying that
@@queenareanna3534 That's So Sweet 😀. Tiny Was Beautiful And She Still Is.
This is an Underrated Group with 4 Very Skilled Singers..I look forward to their Return..Yes we all have our Fav..but aint no denying their Vocals!!
i like tiny's voice so much
Kandi's voice gave them that "xcape" sound. You knew who they were because of kandi's unique tone. They try to do it without kandi but they need her sound. Idc what anyone says you can always hear kandi's voice in the background
100% accurate!!! Their vocals together, their harmonies together are unmatched! Their different tones and vocal arrangements as a group have always allowed them to stand out.
Exactly!! Her voice is unique!
Ty facts 💯💯💯💯
Every single woman in this group are solo artist and lead vocalist. This is the only girl group where all can sing lead.
James Star guess you forgot about this little group called EN VOGUE
Cee Whyse okkkkaaayyyy
Cee Whyse I was just about to say the same thing, every last one of them can sang in En Vogue. Although, Terri is my fave.
Cee Whyse I would like to see Xscape vs En Vogue
Nope EnVogue had all lead singers
Tamika is nasty with it, but the blessing is the way they blend their voices when they harmonize. Tosha takes ‘em to church with her runs, Tamika is the gut punch with her powerhouse style (like Coco), Tiny is the icing with her growls and cleanliness of her vocals, & Khandi completes it with her alto (much like T-Boz & LeeLee) & d6 high notes. C'est magnifique
Very well said😊
Kandi is definitely their t-boz, probably not everyone’s favorite singer but has a unique tone and gave the group their signature sound much like t-boz did for TLC
Xscape and En Vogue are those rare groups where everyone can hold their own. They don’t have a “weak link”
I've been saying that for the longest that's A Show these two female groups and B 2 Men
also tlc
Never knew Tiny could sing like this. I love Kandi. I love thier girl group.
Facts 💯💯
Kandi is my favorite she has A very unique tone that is not everyone’s cup of tea whether you like her voice or not the fact is Kandi IS Xscape their sound is LITERALLY the uniqueness of Kandi’s Mezzo Soprano voice very same formula with T-Boz & TLC. There’s millions of girls in the church that sound like the Scott sisters and Tiny can sing but she sounds like a child that can sing her voice is very adolescent
Lol
@@tonnymitch4016 what’s funny
@@cl3883 tiny having a adolescent voice … she sounds like a child that can sing. Thats true I never thought about it like that till now
@@tonnymitch4016 but she can sing it’s just so high pitch
😂 I think Tinys voice has changed with age. It sounds a bit more mature. I like Tamika, tiny and Kandi s voices . Tocha does too much all the time. She can sing but sometimes less is more.
Tiny had a cute lil tone too! I like it !
Why is people been petty
let's be clear there would be NO Xscape w/o either of these ladies. That's the unique thing about groups from the 80's -90's, they all could actually sing, and carry their own leading a song. For ppl downing Kandi STFU. All of these girls were & still is the shit. On that note, I will be in attendance July 2nd at the Essence Music Festival to see my girls do their thing.
True people tend to forget that there was another member after khandi left Keisha and xscape wasn't has powerful.
Say that! All of em can blow and it wouldn't be Xscape without all of em. They do be going to bed on my girl Kandi. I love her voice and yes she can sing
@@frederickreese8398 true
Agreed!!! Their voices together make magic!!!!
When Kandi hits those high notes I tear up! Her voice is amazing!
Kandi's high notes!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
But Kandi with them high notes though
Latocha and Tamika better SANG
Shady Tyrell I didn't know about Tiny. She just snatch my crochets awl the way out. 😶
Miss Ting Ting lol right
That damn Latocha!
lily mccann She can SING her behind off
She's my favorite
If u like over singing, and sloppy riffs and runs
YES!!! That girl can SANG!!!💞💞
Messy ass runs and pitch problems
Toscha and Kandi may hate each other in real life, but their voices blend so good together.
man can you imagine the sound now that they all have grown & matured and are even more seasoned???!!!! I'm here for this!
I'm so glad they're back together. this makes me think of the 90's
When I hear Tamika Scott sing..I get chills!
Tiny over time has become an outstanding vocalist. She got better like fine wine.
11:30...Want To Make Love You To You, Say You Do.
Kandis voice makes that harmony pop.
I love me some Kandi!!! She still has it going g on!!! Love all the ladies!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
All of them can sing. Kandi is a true alto she holds that space down they can say what they want. My favorite singer in the group was always Tamika she had that blues growl that I love.
Not an alto tho
Tenor? Baritone?
@@sionbentley4535 male voices
They are all amazing but Tamika Scott will forever be my favorite.. she always sounds exactly like the record and she has my favorite voice in the group
Tamika Scott has the best voice in the group honestly.
Gary Manuel she is definitely underrated
I argee
The group even stated she was the best!
But her ass never showed up to the studio 🙄
Tamika in the 90’s tiny is the most consistent
I’m here for team Tiny. I like Tamika’s voice now didn’t know her skills until a video she did alone on TH-cam
Everybody was so original back then and could really sang!!! I miss the 90s man !
8:21 back when the crowd applauded artistic feats instead of flashy lights n sexual displays
If Jermaine and Michael Mauldin didn't think any of these girls could sing, they wouldn't waste their time or precious money on these ladies and they would have easily been replaced. They can all sing.
Tamika is the best singer in that group. She has the best control and she doesnt have to oversell it. Plus she is such a clear and pretty tone to her voice. She growls and sings from her toenails with such ease. I live!! when she hits that note in Understanding - No wayyy!
All these girls have voices period
Tiny, Kandi, LaTocha and Tamika are the Atlanta Queens of So So Def!!!!!!
I luv kandi voice she is a beautiful singer
The beauty is that they all have different voices like different ingredients in a recipe that makes up the iconic group, XSCAPE!
Kandi’s voice DEFINITELY made Xscape’s harmonies differ from other girl groups in the 90’s and her whistle notes are immaculate. Tiny has an amazing soprano tone I love her voice. LaTocha has a powerful voice but she lacks control, her runs are all over the place and down right annoying at times. Tameka is the best singer in the group hands down...Kandi has even said it plenty of times! She just never cared to sing lead like her sister.
Kandi’s unique voice and Tony’s tone and growls are so underrated
Who's listening to Xscape in 2021? All these ladies have strong vocals! I could listen to them All Day and Night! 💕
Not gonna pick favs I'm just excited they're back together .
But Tiny is my girl tho lol
Dee Xscapes love it! I was with Kandi on them high notes... WE was killing it back then... her on stage, and me in my car! lol
JRZBELLE "We"? LMAOOO I was like wait a min 😂😂
I am Kandi my favorite!😊
Kandi’s unique tone/voice is what helped Xscape stand out from every other girl group with Greta singers. Very similar to Tboz in TLC.
escape is my s*** lol I will be 60 years old still listening to escape
For sure 🌹🌹🌹🌹👵
Tamika Scott is the best vocalist in the group (I love them all).
dem silk wraps Gave me life
Kandi is the best bottom note anyone can have in a female group. Her tone and abilities down there were everything. She literally gave the group its sound gelling it together. Otherwise it'd be a bunch of high yelling.
Tiny's smooth soprano were of perfect pitch to me. Always the easiest to listen to and still had power. Wish kept going instead of listening to T.I. ass.
Tamika i must admit probably was the best and most underrated voice and most consistent next to Tiny.
Latosha just kills it for me. She does to much. All that unnecessary running and all just uugh. If she kept it passionate and soulful with out all that excessive shit she'd be that bitch with her pitch problem having ass.
"Problem having ass"😁😆😅🤣😂😁😆😅🤣😂
thank you, her runs were tooooo much, voice could’ve been used for something else
Tocha could have been the best if it's not for those runs that made her go pitchy.
I loved this group back in the I played my CD all the time ..I still listen to their old music..
takes me back to the good time I had as teen...like couple skating with a boy on Friday nights miss those days so much hanging out the girls ..
how can I not remember Tiny being a beast!
Twwleesa mastneo Right!!! I thought the same and I was here for Xscape in the 90s!! I guess I was stuck in awe at Tamika S vocal ability & forcefully hearing Tocha’s over kill on the runs lol
I love Brunnette Tiny! She looks so good with dark hair.
Latocha's vocals are unmeasurable
Always. Still is.
Sister as well.two beasts !
This video made my heart tingle. 💀💀
Ok young Kandi I hear you.
Tiny has the best and purest tone in the group. Her voice is the most pleasant to the ear.
Kandi has the most unique (but polarizing) tone, and her voice is the glue in the harmony eventhough she sang the lowest note.
Tamika is very consistent and has very good technique.
Latocha is the most dynamic and powerful singer of the group, but she also has the least control and shaky technique.
Pussycat Dolls was originally a group of dancers not until they hired Nicole as a singer, they became Pop group though they started as Burlesque group.
All these girls can sang.
It’s 2021 and I found this video.. took me down memory lane.. back to when girl groups could all sang their part... also this video showed ALL the 90s hairstyles
Latocha has the voice but those runs were always OVERKILL. Tamika had the BEST VOICE in the group-good control and pitch. consistent too. Kandi's tone is not great, but she held down the bottom harmony and her head voice is everything. Tiny had some great growls and she was the best dancer and was the sexy one of the group.
ImperfectbutRedeemed YES!
I agree, Tamika always had the best voice out of the group. if anybody, out of the group, was striving to go solo, it should have been Tamika.
@13:14 😂😂 it almost seems as tho kandi agreed with you #overkill lol
MissMcD I just caught that!!!! I'm weak 😂😂😂😂😂
MissMcD llh yeeees
I miss the 90's
Their harmonies are outta this world!!
They are all amazing, beautiful singers, and hits us all in a very special way!. 😍
Tiny still My Favorite!.
