One of the best girl groups ever. This song was a big deal not only because it forced us to look at race, but because strong women were speaking their mind in an in your face way. Love love love En Vogue!
Oh my god RIGHT?? the 90s was such an empowering time for women! I swear all this sunk in for me as a kid and helped form my feminism. They paved the way!
@@kikijayquinn yeah when you look back at the 80's and 90's with En Vogue, Whitney, Mariah, Celine it's almost like the notion of today's third wave feminist is completely destroyed. Women ruled the 90's in Art and Entertainment. Did the patriarchy take a decade off🤣🤷♂️
Cindy, Terry, Maxine, and Dawn, one of the best girl groups vocally of all time. Y'all gotta listen to Don't Let Go (Love), My Lovin' (Never Gonna Get It), Hold On, Don't Go, etc. Such a shame that we don't have the original 4 anymore though. 😔
"Before You can read me you've got to learn how to see me." This came out when I was in high school. It was my motto for years. And this song, my theme. Especially as I was the only black girl in an all white suburban school in Canada.
Yikes! I was the only white girl in my school. Not the same, not saying that at all. But I can relate what it is like to feel different which particularly sucks as a kid when all you want to do is be like everyone else.
You guys have opened a treasure trove. You MUST hear " Hold On", " Don't Let Go", " Never Gonna Get It".. the EARLY En Vogue. Cindy,Terry, Dawn, and Maxine..
No sitting still with this one, loved the 1990’s. Such a great message, and still so much “shallow” all these years later slow folks still not getting it.
"Wrote a song about it. Like to hear it? Here it goes" is from a skit from a show called In Living Color. David Alan Grier played this blues singer in the skit and he would always say that particular line while he ad-libbed songs.
I still love watching reruns of In living color on youtube when I can find them. They are a bit grainy cause of the quality of the older video, but you can still make it out for the most part, and some of them come in clear as day. And still funny.
Fun fact, that’s Terry saying that. The ladies always said she was the funny one in the group and she would always imitate voices so they recorded her doing it.
I'm in my 60s now, but I still can't sit still when I hear this! En Vogue and Boyz II Men defined what we listened to in the 90s. These groups were SO talented. Glad you two listened to this one!
These women will break your f’ing heart!!! They are without a doubt THEE baddest female group vocally, and we have been BEGGING for an original member reunion but it looks like that will NEVER happen. Pick a song with En Vogue, you can’t go wrong.
Omg i love En Vogue after hearing their first single “Hold On” I was an instant fan still am actually Those girls could sing and they were so beautiful My friends and I jammed their music all through jr high and high school Great recreation ♥️♥️
Same here! I have been asking for a year now! Okay Tim and Fred you two have some catching up to do with En Vogue. Next reaction 'Hold on' their break out song and 'Don't let go'
Great choice guys! EnVogue was one of the coldest, legendary groups to come out of the 80's/90's era! "Hold On" "My Lovin (You're Never Gonna Get It") and "Don't Let Go Love" are amazing songs from them too! 🎶🎵
Damn. I was in my teens living to this music. Listening to it now kinda makes my ass sad. Why ain’t shit changed?!?!? Bigger message than I knew back then….
I love, love EnVogue! They were and are incredible! Beautiful women and amazing voices. Please react to some of their other bangers- Don’t Let Go and Hold On.
You've definitely got to feature their first single "Hold On" on your new segment featuring artists first songs, it really showcases their beautiful strong voices. They ALL can sing!
@@sharians-bluesky how ya doing my fellow stick shift sister? I'm on vacation, but still took time out to check out the reaction. 😁This actually went on their Patreon site last week, but I guess TH-cam unblocked it!
I love how this song still register today. All of the ladies song lead which is something you don't see today or when they came out. En Vogue is definitely hands down the best female group ever. Can't go wrong with anyone of their songs.
Omg, Love, love, LOVE!!! Just listened to Free Your Mind yesterday! So much of Funky Divas is on my heavy rotation playlist-- Free Your Mind, Giving Him Something He Can Feel, Give It Up Turn It Loose, Love Don't Love You, My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It.) Soooo good!!!
You've gotta listen to "Runaway Love" by Envogue..and "Don't Let Go"! These ladies were on fire 🔥..I can't forget, "Giving Him Something He Can Feel" also. One of the best female groups of all time! They were sexy and had style and class! Their vocals will give you chills!🥰❤
These ladies are iconic. The were gorgeous, the fashions, vocals & harmonizing were on a different level. They are definitely one of the best female groups ever! They embodied the term “ fashionista”🔥
One of my favourite groups from my teenage years. I still listen to them and have them on my spotify list to this day. Epic women with inspiring, relevant words. Ahead of their time.
En Vogue was one of the best bands in the late 80s and 90s. Those ladies were awesome. You need to see the video they did with Salt n Pepper. Fantastic
YES!! I love this song, I rocked it in my living room then, and still to this day-- because so many reasons, I can barely count them using both hands! I agree with you guys, about the messages in this song, fantastic, and there's so much more that makes it an amazing hit!! I still get goosebumps every time I hear it start up, and I cannot sit still ! 🥰
LOVE this song! The ladies of En Vogue hammered this one home! This is how my mom raised me to be so, when this came out, I was like: HELL YES!! FINALLY!!
These women still blow my mind. I want to embody that kind of bad assery to this day. Everything is revolutionary about this song then and now. Fucking dope.
I love me some En Vogue. I was a teenager when this song came out, and I would spend a good amount of time waiting for the local radio stations to play it so I could record it on cassette.
I forgot how much I loved this song - excellent choice - everything about it is soooooo tight. The harmonies, the lyrics, the beat, the guitar riffs, the message - spectacular
Wow, I haven't heard this in a Minute!! Loooved them back in the day. Teen in the 90's...best.time.ever. I really do think this song I've carried along with me in my heart. Free your mind...and the rest will follow. It's a lifestyle!❤🙌😁

I liked them since they came out. I forgot about them over the years but seen the name and all of a sudden my brain starts the song lol. Good stuff.
LOVE LOVE En Vogue. Also Jade was another of my favorites.
@@kikijayquinn 💋

Also Giving Him Something He Can Feel.
@@heavynleigh7951 That is an amazing song from an amazing group.
💯‼️ 👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻 All the songs mentioned in this thread were/are straight ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Also their team ups with Salt n Peppa were amazing.
Yess! the original line up of these powerful voices were just amazing!!
"Before You can read me you've got to learn how to see me." This came out when I was in high school. It was my motto for years. And this song, my theme. Especially as I was the only black girl in an all white suburban school in Canada.
Bless your heart! I bet you’ve got some stories to tell.
That's an awesome motto for all of us to live by and practice. Should be on a tshirt!

As soon as this just popped up I thought wow good choice, these girls can SING!
Too Gone Too Long as well!! They have so many great songs!! And so good live!!
@@maureen12683 that's one of my favorites 👍🏼
Giving Him Something He Can Feel.
Don't forget "Runaway Love".
You need to do Whatta Man by En Vogue and Salt n Peppa - absolutely incredible and the video is amazing too
yes
Yes!!! Amazing song!!
Absolutely!!!
I came here to say exactly this!
Yesssss!!!!
These ladies are royalty in R&B, any of them could sing lead, and Dawn is straight FIRE, glad you checked them out.
💯‼️ Next to “The Supremes” best talented girl group ever! Absolutely any of these ladies can sing lead!! ❤️❤️
Maxine has THE growl for this particular song, I must say.
Absolutely

1000% GET ON BOARD FOLKS!
Thank you guys for showcasing one of the best female singing groups. Make Brownstone the next jam - "If You Love Me". You'll love it 💚.
"Wrote a song about it. Like to hear it? Here it goes" is from a skit from a show called In Living Color. David Alan Grier played this blues singer in the skit and he would always say that particular line while he ad-libbed songs.
Those skits cracked me up every time. Man I miss that show!

@@MickeyDs14 yes, that is Terry saying that line from In Living Color. Still makes me laugh whenever I hear it.
@@tinaprice3497 they're on dvd.
"Before you can read me, you got to learn how to see me."
That's the line that has always stuck with me.
That line, and "free your mind, and the rest will follow", were always my favorite lines.
You should try their breakout hit “Hold On”. Also react to “Don’t Let Go” and “Giving Him Something He Can Feel”
All of them were good and the "Never Gonna get it" one too
@@tinaprice3497 never gonna get it (my Lovin)
@@tinaprice3497 good choice
TO THIS DAY the intro to "Hold On" gives me chills. :D
@@reanimated I know right?!
This was one of the best years for pop music, of all flavors.
Hell Yes!
Funky Divas, I literally wore that album out in the 90’, one of the best albums of all time . ❤️En Vogue
I'm in my 60s now, but I still can't sit still when I hear this! En Vogue and Boyz II Men defined what we listened to in the 90s. These groups were SO talented. Glad you two listened to this one!
This song is SO GOOD. They sounded on point at the Billboard Music Awards last year. Such strong, beautiful women. Love it 🤘
Tim and Fred you were co hosts! How come it took you so long to react to their music?
These women will break your f’ing heart!!! They are without a doubt THEE baddest female group vocally, and we have been BEGGING for an original member reunion but it looks like that will NEVER happen. Pick a song with En Vogue, you can’t go wrong.
They have tour dates. They had reunited just before Covid hit, I think it was. But yeah, touring in the US if you have a search 😉
Happy days, hey? 😁
Yes💜
Omg i love En Vogue after hearing their first single “Hold On”
I was an instant fan still am actually
Those girls could sing and they were so beautiful
My friends and I jammed their music all through jr high and high school
Great recreation ♥️♥️
Same!
One of the best!
Now I’m gonna say it again: Brownstone, “If You Love Me.” For the love of twins, please!!!
Greatness! Love me some Brownstone!
The FUNKY DIVAS finally makes their appearance. I've been begging for them too for over a year. Nice choice of song.
Me too! Finally!!
Same here! I have been asking for a year now! Okay Tim and Fred you two have some catching up to do with En Vogue. Next reaction 'Hold on' their break out song and 'Don't let go'

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Sadly
I love, love EnVogue! They were and are incredible! Beautiful women and amazing voices. Please react to some of their other bangers- Don’t Let Go and Hold On.
Yessssss
I ❤ EN VOGUE. Classy, intelligent, strong, stylish and sing like angels.
Giving Him Something He Can Feel, inspired by and from the original movie Sparkle.
They did a good job esp. covering it after Aretha Franklin.
I like listening to this song the ladies of en Vogue back in the 90’s where such awesome singers!
You've definitely got to feature their first single "Hold On" on your new segment featuring artists first songs, it really showcases their beautiful strong voices. They ALL can sing!
One of the best female groups of that time. You'll absolutely love their rendition of "Giving Him Something He Can Feel"! 😁
Hey my stick shift country sister 💚!!! They did justice to it definitely. I forgot about that song 🎵.

You've gotta listen to "Runaway Love" by Envogue..and "Don't Let Go"! These ladies were on fire 🔥..I can't forget, "Giving Him Something He Can Feel" also. One of the best female groups of all time! They were sexy and had style and class! Their vocals will give you chills!🥰❤

En Vogue blew everyone away with this. It slaps harder than most rock songs at the time
I always said this song always perfectly blended rock, pop and R&B well together.
These ladies are iconic. The were gorgeous, the fashions, vocals & harmonizing were on a different level. They are definitely one of the best female groups ever! They embodied the term “ fashionista”🔥
Message well sent...good advice...GREAT JAM!

These ladies were so BADASS, back in the day. I love En Vogue 💗💗

En Vogue's first two albums are highly underrated. Arguably the best girl group vocally.
