The video quality is so good, it doesn’t feel like it’s 30 years old.
Right!
@Stoopid Steve that’s really cool
Yeah vault tape is big and Viacom keeps em safe
Unlike Universal
@@SnailSlugSlut facts bro
@@SnailSlugSlut i would like to know why please
She was 25 back then, and she's almost 60 now. Crazy how time flies!!
I’d still clap
yup
@@user-cb5bh3tm6v 😄🤣
That’s wild 😭
Still good-looking too
Jason Priestly seemed a little shook by Cindy Crawford talking to him hahaha so cute
I mean it’s cindy freaking crawford
@@user-bd6hn in '91 to top it off lol.
he's cute 🤗
@Valentina Joy Defend She actually said *"you're."
@Valentina Joy Defend then he grabbed her hip
Cindy Crawford is the most beautiful woman of all time. And what a great personality and a great sense of humor. You could tell everyone really respected her. What an angel.
Yes I agree. I think Cara Delevingne could be her successor.
The three hottest women in the 90's was Cindy Crawford, Jennifer Aniston, and Jenna Jameson. Only Cindy could do cool stuff like MTV because Aniston was too snobby for stuff like that and Jenna was a porn star so she wasn't invited LOL
Nope..just average
On a scale from 1-10...she’s an 11. That’s WAY above average
@@krimsonedit3272I totally agree. She is pretty though.
This is evidence nothing stays forever. Dont kill yourself over things that dont matter. Enjoy life and humble yourselves.
🙏
Well said.
See, I don’t see it that way. It’s really all about prospective… I felt more like this was evidence that things don’t change that much even if they feel worlds away.
Facts 💯
Well said.
Bon Jovi just hanging out outside by a truck and only vaguely aware of why they’re there is maybe one of my favorite things ever and very on-brand hahahahah
She look beautiful. The 90s were a time to be alive.
I agreeee 100000000 percent
🧢
I miss the 2010s. Watching all my favorite nickelodeon shows, ps3 and ps4, when fortnite was actually good and I played with my friends a lot, the 2014 World Cup, MSN at Barcelona. People not getting offended
@@phillipalvarez7221 Love it.
@@FATI_SZN “people not getting offended” what are you even talking about the internet has been the same for years you people just grew up and started using it more
This was when people actually watched music videos on television. Everyone was so excited and things were so much fun and authentic. Things will never be the same.
Not authentic,
Authentic? She was so fake!
Word
There’s a thing called TH-cam for that now. It’s way more efficient…
do you want things to stay the same?
I love time capsule videos like these, like no one knew at the time that this video was gonna be saved and the fact we now have the ability to take a high definition glimpse back into the early 90s is such a cool concept to me
And permanent nature the internet has cursed us with a very different disposition...like we know everything will be recorded and we have all changed.
30 years later they will look back in 2021 to see what we do too. Imagine that. So record as much as you wish.
I always wanted to see late 80’s 90’s videos in HD
Well, I was one of those people who taped everything "special" on the VCR and never watched it again.
Except it's not HD. It's only upscaled. And we've lost half the picture because they didn't leave it in its original 4:3 aspect ratio.
She looked untouchable. One of the best things is being a model, at any event. Automatically standout.
She looked like Sharon Tate Lordy!
My dad always mentions Cindy Crawford when the topic is beautiful women. Now I know why.
@Rafa Rafa A majority of the guys saying she's so hot likely share the same ethnicity. It's universally expected that men desire the women of the same race.
(Comment might get booted, TH-cam hates when you mention race...)
I think the person is more than being a model. Being a model is a profession but if Cindy had been a lawyer and was never known, I still feel that she would have stood out, it is something that some people have natural
@@timterrell2554 wtf? But if she is American, what race are you talking about? Apart from beauty, it is not because of ethnicity, Cindy is beautiful in America, Europe, and China.
First let’s all acknowledge Cindy Crawford still looks amazing 🤩
She kept her body, but her face is manly. Looks like Kaitlyn Jenner now
@@patricialavallee8286her man doesn’t mind
@@patricialavallee8286Not even close. Kaitlyn looks more like Janice Dickenson.
Jason Priestly was mind numbingly beautiful in his prime.
Remember how MTV was always centered around Music and supported artists?
It's not the same anymore 😔
It's catered to Teen Moms now...
Ridiculousness has enter the chat
it seriously needs a revamp. MTV just ain’t it no more man 😭 they tried bringing back TRL but it was wack because they never had any great artists as a guest (maybe except for people like Leon Thomas) they need to bring back 106 & park 😭
Yeah it changed when they came up with the real world…the brith of reality tv
The way LL grabbed Cindy’s arm made me melt for her 🤤
Yeah he was definitely flirting with her.... Hahaha Cool J! 💪🏾💜
And she said bye babe lol 😂
The way she made sure his pants fit…there was definitely something going on with them.
you didn't have to melt for her she melted on her own it was obvious
No flatscreens yet. No one has a phone in their hand. No selfies. Ahhh the good old 90s. Simpler times. When MTV was still relevant.
Ofcourse smart phones didn’t exist in the 90s
I really miss the 90’s man! We need some 80’s footage of Michael Jackson, let’s go MTV!
For some ODD reason they just will not play him
Whose Michael Jackson’s. ?
Lil Peep grammar buddy. Nice try tho, your brain must be fried so I can’t blame you for not understanding.
Lil Peep I guess so. You know exactly what I need based on my TH-cam comment. I think you need to focus on your priorities xan fiend
All eyes on her .She is the breathtaking!!!
The chemistry between Cindy and LL. . .
Nope just friends
@@alexandermiddleton9408 hmmm 🤔
He totally busted them cheeks
@@jmanuelvillalobos4971 he def got in them cheeks!!! Any body who says other wise are super naive. If it was a snake it would have bit you!
He clapped that raw she was d whipped
Cindy and Bon Jovi flirting was cute ☺️
They would've made some insane children. They both have aged like fine wine.
@@nickolivares7188 agreed
@@nickolivares7188 They allegedly had an affair when she did his Christmas video.
Seems so familiar, so current… it makes you realize that the construct of time isn’t as definite as it feels but rather minor in the scheme of things.
Damnnn... 🔥🔥🔥
Let’s hope they post one from 1891 and let’s see how current and familiar that seems. Only difference in 1991 was there wasn’t internet yet or smartphones. Nothing else has changed really.
Right!! This video made 30 years look and feel like 3 hours ago lmao. Feels very recent and normal
@PROBA Productions exactly
They all look real happy to be interviewed instead of really annoyed which is awesome. Everyone seems really chill and layed back ;) love this ❤️ to bad I wasn’t born yet during this time :(
They are probably happy because it’s Cindy Crawford 💕 Bon Jovi even said he would stand there and drool 🤤
Because 1 person is trying to interview them instead of 20....
If you were indeed born in these days, you wouldn't have been happier just for that. What you see from those days is what was in front of the camera, like celebs and big names of the time. Just like today, in those times the real life was much different than what you see in display. Plus, we didn't have as many gadgets, cellphones, info at the fingertip, so we had to make our fun. Everyone was in a click, hanging out with friends, bickering and fighting for status, just like these days. Nothing special.
I was born right after Kurt cobain died in 1994. For reasons unrelated to that (it just felt relevant idk), it was a cool time to grow up. Everything from Pearl Jam to Britney spears and a lot of awesome one-hit wonders. Great cartoons. Nintendo cartridges and computer games on CD-ROM which truly were gaming at its finest. Sugary snacks and drinks loaded with artificial colors that my mom refused to buy. What a time to be alive🙌🏻
Same 3 years after this I was around 😵💫
There is so much to love about this, I don’t even know what to say.
Jason Priestly looked just wow, even his eyes were sparkling
The quality is so good, it’s so weird to see old Bon Bonjovi and Paula Abdul in high camera quality. It makes them like more real or something idk
Is this how people in the 90s felt about seeing musicians on tv?
I was thinking the same thing
Don’t forget Ll Cool J when hip hop and rap was great now it is trash
LL may be the smoothest man ever
He was so adorable
Cindy was smitten
@@heidibangbang 😂
@Lesane Crooks he was pulling Cindy Crawford in her prime
@@TubeSteak I’m glad someone else caught that 🤫😂
90s were the best. Probably because of technology advancements has a doing with it lol. Anyways cartoons were the best. I just remember Pokémon chuckecheese and Nintendo 64.
Chuckecheese pizza used to be sooo good back then! Now, not the same.
@@JesusForgivesSins golden era
And Dragonball z
90’s cartoon shows are untouchable
Everything about the 90’s was the best lol I’m 29 this new generation are so slow lol
This video looks like it could’ve been filmed today with how incredible the picture and quality looks.
The camera man knew what he was doing @ 0:15
The guys at :50 thinking she was gonna talk to them only to be walked past 😂😂
Thought I was the only one who noticed 🤣🤣🤣
I seen that lol i hate when that happens to me.
Lol looked like douche bags
@Terrisia Paul to make things worse she walked past them to. Talk to the “help” eating right after them that just have stung whoever those guys were
Everything about Her is Supermodel... Even her hair moves like a Supermodel 💜
Cindy’s daughter is her literal twin! Like seriously.
Cindy is more attractive, but her daughter definitely looks like her.
It’s crazy!
i didn’t really see it until this video. the both of them are gorgeous. i’m sure kaia will only get better with age as well.
I never noticed it until now.
They have similar voices and some likeness, but I don’t think Kaia looks much like Cindy. Kaia’s eyes, nose, and face shape are like her dad’s.
Oh look...no cell phones in there hands. What a time to be alive where everyone is not constantly looking at there phone lol 😂
Now that is the best comment here!
Witnessing people go from this to the cell phone era was depressing. They're really cool, but alot of people just can't put them away in any public setting.
Yeah, they were just bored and awkward
Always makes me wish that I was already an adult in those days, I was only 5 in 1991 so I hardly remember anything from that year 😞
Bon Jovi was joking about being 29 and getting a lifetime achievement award.
Now he's about to be 60.
Time waits for no one
You reminded me of that Jackson's song time waits for no one
She can flirt💀
We never really think about how everything will change. It's so crazy how things change dramatically over the years
I think about it all the time unfortunately. Maybe it’s partially one of the reasons why I’m so depressed lol.
LL cool j’s boy throwing the peace sign behind his neck was pretty cool to see. 5:02
Yeah Cindy was trying to bag that
@@quayslay6142 they had a thing around then iirc
Nothing new under the sun , the only thing that changes over time is who’s turn it is to be a star
I just want to go back a relive this amazing decade once more 🥺 so thankful and blessed I got to experience all of it 🙏🏻💖
Remember when I'd be able to walk up in person and tell you how beautiful you are and introduce myself without you getting creeped out or thinking I'm crazy? I miss the 90s 😕
@@josephruble3861 Definitely the last decade of in-person communication 😭 Cell phones and social media brought on social distancing long before covid did. It was great being able to hang out with anyone and everyone back then.
Same here!
cindy is one of my fave models omg.
90s models just had that spark. i know in 2021 there are a lot of amazing models, but most top models are nepotism models doesn’t seem like a passion or artwork :/
Cindy looks amazing...LL in his prime was 🔥
"Bye, babe!" Lol their chemistry was fun to watch. 😄
@@LoveMyUnusual wow so much chemistry
Chemistry? hes a player and she was being a flirt with everyone. Thats not chemistry its being fake.
@@lilgucci6847 i only relied to one or 2 other comments. I dont like anyone in hollywood, they are all fake and not good for society.
@@stephencorcoran4441not good for society?? What?
Boy Cindy Crawford was beautiful and still is till this DAY
2:48 she was ready to risk it all
We all would. Look at Jon Bon Jovi’s stare 😆
Damn Jason Priestley, LL cool j, George M etc... Great dayz
I remember watching this on tv, it gave me chills because we all loved Cindy Crawford and could easily tell that every celeb loved Cindy
70s/80s/90s what a time to be alive baby!
Cindy and Jon bob jovi had some chemistry
They were romantically involved but broke up. Cindy was in Bon Jovi’s video „Please come home for Christmas from 1991.
man they all look so good
it doesn't feel like it's been 30 years, it's just like clips from yesterday
I miss 90s real bad... It was so perfect. fashions, makeups, vibes... everything
Ah I love this! I was born in ‘91💜 also Jon Bon Jovi🤤what a babe. They don’t make them like that anymore.
This is why we all love/ed Cindy. True beauty in & out
Cindy seems so genuine and pleasant!
She looks so fabulous and the earrings at the beginning
Like it was yesterday !!! and Cindy so gorgeous 😘😘. We miss the 90s
What gets me about these pre-smartphone moments is how "present" everyone is. Actually enjoying and being IN the moment.
2:07 I'll just drool.
She's so stunning I remember thinking wow Cindy is so beautiful naturally and with her makeup done . Her daughter is beautiful as well . Good genetics
Bon Jovi was so flustered by Cindy it's adorable :)
Cindy over here losing it with Jon
Her beauty is so outstanding........
Cindy was ready to risk it all for LL 😩
A whole vibe frfr
twice
The hair and look oh 90's. I miss it so much ❤❤❤❤❤.
Wow 90s vault forgot how young and fresh people were in the 90s omg jason priestley rush singer lol hahaha no beef no dramas just heaven good good vibes take me back please o want to go back nowwww
Not a cell iphone to be seen. Thanks Steve Jobs
Steve jobs didnt make the first cell phone bud.
Im thankful for my smartphone. Without it, I would not be able to watch a video like this while waiting for the train. Before the smartphone, I constantly had to ask people for directions when going to an unfamiliar place. With the smartphone, I dont need to do this because I use google maps.
You probably typed with the newest iphone lol
Yes thanks Steve Jobs for this amazing invention!! Ironically you probably typed this on a device Steve Jobs help or created entirely!!
The '90s were a great time, I’m a proud Gen X 🤗
When there was talent people man i miss the 90s
You know they’re still talented musicians now right? You wouldn’t say Vanilla Ice is more talented than Rihanna.
You're so right ain't no way around I love music I make music but the industry SUCKS right now..well Hiphop definitely does anyway. TBH Alternative music has always been good they just messed rap up
@@tonyphills6075 it’s funny because the generation that came before the 90’s thought the music was trash. I remember my dad saying when he first heard rap in the late 80’s he didn’t understand how anyone could listen to it. I just think us as humans are negative in the present so we don’t appreciate stuff until it’s gone and in the past.
@@unbiascowboy1537 see this is the part that you guys have twisted because we loved every single second of the 80s 90s all the way up until 2000 that's when things started getting weird.. believe me my father told me and my brother that rap wouldn't last more than a few years when we was listening to LL Cool J back in the late 80s and I don't want to be that person that's always talking crap about the young people but you have to admit listen to the hip-hop that's out they're basically using that same ONE trap beat and they all harmonize saying the same thing in all songs you have to at least admit that that's true. If you like it that's good but we're just saying the creativity and originality is basically gone but I feel what you're saying 100% because I even tell OGs to not be so critical of the Young Folks but yet and still facts are facts
@@tonyphills6075 you have to look for the originality now. They aren’t pushing the people who are out of the box, they’re pushing who’s popular/ going viral. Mainstream radio isn’t really where it’s at anymore. There are a few artists who are an exception though when it comes to mainstream.
Man I’m only 20 years old & i don’t wanna keep sounding like an old head but damn everything about the 80s and 90s were so damn amazing when it came to culture & entertainment.
I know right? I’m 27 that I always wondered how it would feel to be in hs in the 80’s and 90’s…until I remembered there wasn’t no internet😳.
You’re a wise young man.
i was born in the 1970s and always thought about living in the 1790s
I feel like Cindy Crawford may have inspired Mariah Carey’s 1997 Butterfly Era look. Gorgeous
I love the 90s!! I loved MTV!! Whos not?!
I saw 1991 mtv vmas " almost" live almost in direct on tv in Lima ,Perú. I was 16 years old. I remember like yesterday ,it was my first mtv video music awards ,no internet,no cable. Channel 5 ( panamericana tv) broadcasted the show. That show blows my mind, from pop music to heavy metal. The perfect show, performing van halen,mariah c, guns n roses, prince,paula abdul, poison, ll cool j, emf ,METALLICA, c+c music factory, queensryche, etc. And appearances by chris isaak,colormebadd,jesus jones,bonjovi, etc etc and the winner of the night REM. Hosted by arsenio .wow! What a show.
Im waiting watch soon ,someday the whole show in youtube after of 30 years. I'm 46 so im young yet ,ha ha. Thanks mtv,thnks youtube, thanks vcr,thanks vhs, thanks people who upload these shows. Greetings from Lima. Perú Rocks!
Cindy is just something else....
You can tell how intelligent Cindy is.
I like her dress
I NEED THIS JACKET CINDY 🔥🔥🔥
Love this interview! It was raw unscripted and unedited, Keep uploading this type of content MTV!
Man I was super in love with her as a kid lol. Had multiple posters of her from the school book fairs lol
Cant believe this happened the year I was born 😩😍 Proud 1991 baby 👶🏽☺️ best year ever lol 🎉🎉🎉🎉
In the 90’s people missed the 70’s. Believe it or not you’ll miss the present day soon enough
No I won't..I can't wait for this era to be over maybe creativity and originality will come back instead of all these recycled sounds
Agreed
Yeah not really, they miss the 80s, but in the 80s no one missed the past. Today everyone will literally take any other decade than today. Even 1200s. Lol everyone can agree that 2020s is already starting off as the worst decade in American history.
What an absolute babe
I wish I go back in time to watch MTV in the past so that back in the day, it's all about the shows I loved to watch instead of MTV today. Cindy Crawford did a fantastic job interviewing with stars during the VMA's party in 1991. I wasn't born in the year 1991 when people and things had happened.
@@skankhunt-wy9wy you mean in both the early and late 90s? 😀
Yeah, I'd rather watch Cindy Crawford do interviews all night than to hear Chanel West Coast's chipmunk laugh for one minute.
@@kennetheasley3411 yeah. You need to take a break with watching videos on MTV’s Ridiculousness TH-cam channel. 😀
She is perfect
Paula oh my word girl flawless!!!
This is amazing! crazy to see how much times have changed!
Bon Jovi was 29?! I'm 30.....wth....the years are flying by 😭
That's exactly what I was thinking, I just turned 30 and these people were around the same age that I am now when I was born. It's insane.
@@crazyfox9oh Same here! I was born in '91. I also have a daughter who just turned 10 which is making time flying by even faster. I remember being 10 and the 4th grade clear as day. I see what old people are always talking about now. I wanted to get older until I hit 25/26 then I wanted it to stop 🛑🙃
@@AwfulWaffle6 Yup, I remember the day I turned 11, and it really doesn't feel like it was that long ago but it is. But I do miss the 90s though that's for sure
@@crazyfox9oh For sure, it's like one big blur. I remember wanting to grow up as a kid and it felt like time was going by so slowly. Now it's like life is on fast forward! My daughter wants to grow up faster and said that she wants to make her own money, but I told her she has the rest of her life to make money and pay bills. If I could go back and do it over, I totally would.
1990s were the time man. I was born in 90’ so my memories of the decade itself mostly exist in the latter end of the decade but boy were people much more chill and laid back than today. I would have rather been in my 20s in either the 80s or 90s than spending it during the 2010s but… at least I got to be younger in that period nonetheless. Today has gone purely political, uptight, racially divisive and has to be black-this or white-that…. Then it was just music. Black people enjoyed rock and white people enjoyed “urban” rap, it was totally mixed up. Although, radio was very segregated then. But still.. no one made a whine about it. And that’s what I miss.
People just enjoyed themselves and each other. We didn’t have to cut everything up into a political divide or social policy or a race discussion.
It just was……. People could learn a thing or 2 from the 1980s and 1990s. 2020s America would benefit as a result. Tho you can never repeat greatness. You can emulate it still and come close.
Are you white?
@@nolanarmstrong2458 he's obviously purple
@@nolanarmstrong2458 i am magenta what color team are you?
Stop the lies…there were definitely racial tensions back then
@@Ilyfb_96 right lol idk what he’s raving on about. He was living in a bubble or looking through a lens. The nineties if anything was when racial tensions were getting higher and higher. The decade where the Rodney King/LA Riots and OJ Simpson trials happened? Oh nah lol it wasn’t sunshine and rainbows. It like every other decade had its ups and downs. But not much has changed since then except the technology
30 years. can't beliveddddddd
I 💛 Cindy ! She was my #1 I miss that old school Mtv 🎶
Very cool. I love how relaxed this is. 😄
Cindy looks incredible! Wow!

But short as heck

Watching people stop and stare at her is so satisfying
She and LL Cool DEFINITELY had a little something going on (while she was married to someone else btw)
The way she was looking at him, touching, calling him “babe”🤨
He definitely hit
Stop imagining things that never happend. Ll was trying hard with her she was just a natural flirt with everybody.
