Blame her lack of promotion on her label because she probably didn't want to knock boots with a label executive. The music business is a vicious and dirty business.
I saw a performance of this from 2020, and I don't know how she did it, but her voice has gotten higher!!! Was hitting so many falsettos 25+ years later. One word: Talent. 🔥🔥
A singer in Whitney‘s tradition! No visual or audio fuckery. No dancers needed, no gimmick and nudity. Pure talent and a voice unlike any other. I pity millenials for not seeing, supporting and acknowledging true artists. Gen Z is even worst. Tragic times for music and especially R&B!
All #FACTS! Great and tasteful R&B music for females has gone completely "ghost." There are no singers like Tamia, Deborah Cox, Aaliyah, etc. "The Industry" has made sure of that. What has been glamorized is raunchy, over sexualized and tasteless images of black women. #sotragic Young ppl today have been "hoodwinked and bamboozled!" OAN....this is over 12 years ago and she looks just as classy and sophisticated today!!!!!
@@nataliemartin8288 Tamia is undoubtedly one of the most underrated vocalists of all time. Stunningly beautiful and talented, and deserved to have had the same recognition as Whitney et al, but her diagnosis of having multiple sclerosis knocked her and her career out of the running. This performance was actually 23 years ago in 2000 (the video was posted 12-13 years ago)… However, and I do agree with most of what you say (and I’m a HUGE fan so don’t beat me up for saying this) she really doesn’t look classy and sophisticated at all, all these years later. She still has the pipes, but her onstage persona looks slightly trashy and tasteless…and over sexualised. She can do better and needs to learn that larger ladies CAN still look gorgeous without trying to look like an 18 year old when she’s actually 48.
@@H0270-v9g I saw some recent footage of her concerts in SF and it disappointed me to see how she’s looking. Nothing whatsoever to do with her weight gain from ms, but what she was wearing. She’s beautiful but looks horrible in her stage attire
+Ebony B. She's probably not getting promoted because she's not sleeping around with industry execs, going to the drug and orgy infested parties or signing her name in blood for one of those high level illuminati contracts. The best of them are usually slept on because they got real talent and don't need to sell out or sleep around to at least have longevity!
@Ebony B. That's the same thing that I was just thinking! I don't know why she wasn't a bigger Star...Her voice is amazing! ...She has a ton more voice talent than Jo Lo, Brittney or some of the other artist out there today..I guess what they say is true ...Just because you have talent doesn't mean you'll make it in the entertainment industry.
Tamia is so under-rated. I remember when You put a move on my heart came out. I had to find out who she was. Her voice was so clear and special and have been a fan of hers ever since. Sister can SAANGG!!!
This woman is so fucking gorgeous, strong, and has the strongest, sweetest voice. And all of that confidence....she KNOWS she's bad. She should have been as popular as Mariah and Whitney in my opinion.
Tamia has the best pure vocals 2nd to Whitney Houston. This women should be a mega star 10 time over. Very underrated. True vocal talent and I have never seen one bad performance from her ever. Love this women.
Is Tamia shy or something?! Besides not having the full push I think it may be a personality thing. Anyhow Tamia is a vocal giant and a beautiful lady...she shouldn't be criminally underrated!
One of my favorite singers! I used to work at the cash window at the McDonald's down the street from her. One Sunday morning I open the window it was her, and her husband. To this day I'm so mad at myself cuz I kept it professionally. But I wanted to buss out singing her greatest hits, and tell him I've had every single Grant Hill in every color 😅.
Omg .. nearly identical to the recorded version. This song brings back so many memories. I remember they used to play the dance version of this in the club,& *everybody* hit the floor then!
This perfomance is so beautiful and amazing the way the crowd erupts in applause when she hits the high notes is everything imagine being there live to witness such great talent I am just in awe
Raymond Wilkins I never heard Whitney live but she was a great singer no doubt but imo Tamia is an exceptional live vocalist, she is so underrated. Tamia should be as popular as Beyonce and Mariah Carey. Personally, I think Tamia is a much better singer than Beyonce.
CycleCruza Beyonce has NOTHING to do with this song. I'm not sure why you can't like who you like without comparing? Tamia is an incredible vocalist, so is Beyonce and so is Whitney. Barbara Streisand is definitely not one of my favorites. But that's just me and with that to each their own.
Jay Lewis Beyonce is definitely a great singer and dancer. The reason I mentioned her is because she is now considered one of the best female vocalists and most famous in the game for some time now, only reason I compared her. Imo, Tamia would kill Beyonce in a singing contest, Tamia is so underrated it's not funny. I put Tamia up there with Whitney and Mariah. Just my opinion though.
Jay Lewis I think she means that Tamia is slept on. She doesn't get the same recognition as Beyoncé. Who knows why but Tamia is an amazing artist. She should get promoted better.
That woman's voice is the eight wonder of the world! She hit every nuance, high note, run and riff precisely as she did on the track and she slayed it!!!! PERFECTION 💗 🥰
One of the baddest there's ever been. No dancing around. No flash and glitter. Just give her a mic and you get magic. She's as great now as she was when she first hit the scene. A shame she's so underrated while people that don't even have a fraction of her talent are big stars.
I've watched this so many times and I just noticed the dude at the end. He wouldn't let go of her hand even after his friend tried to pull it away from Tamia. She handled it so well. Vocals always a 10.
Tamia has numerous r&b hits. More than Deborah actually. So Tamia is the bigger artist and still consistently putting out top charting r&b albums so..... u were assuming it seems.
SLAYED THAT!! I'M STILL WATCHING IN 2024. Forever Tamia fan.
SAMEEEEE
TAMIA SHOULD HAVE MANY GRAMMYS.This girl can sing hands down
Underrated
YES, I agree 💯✌️☑️
so underrated
Her disease took over her career. I always think about her. What she could have been.
Blame her lack of promotion on her label because she probably didn't want to knock boots with a label executive. The music business is a vicious and dirty business.
Not many artists can sing this good live and sound almost identical to the studio version 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!

Been saying this for yeaaaars. Every time tamia performs she sounds exactly like the studio track!!
Her voice is completely DEAD ON to her recorded version of all of her songs... That is pure talent.
I saw a performance of this from 2020, and I don't know how she did it, but her voice has gotten higher!!! Was hitting so many falsettos 25+ years later. One word: Talent. 🔥🔥
On
Jordin sparks is the same. She sang directly to me in person during a meet and greet. :)
I LOVE ME SOME TAMIA!!! She is criminally underrated!!! Her voice is head and shoulders above days so-called female artists!!!
criminally underrated :______
Wheeeew they don't make voices like this anymore 😍😩
A singer in Whitney‘s tradition!
No visual or audio fuckery.
No dancers needed, no gimmick and nudity.
Pure talent and a voice unlike any other.

Stay mad and bitter. It's a BUISSNESS. The voice alone dose nt always sell.

can we talk about how on point her hair was! slay girl!
Crystal clear, pitch perfect voice
Tamia is sooo slept on.

She never toured with her music; never broadened her fan base. That's why her career never expanded as well.
Trevor T she has toured with her music not big arenas but smaller places.
What makes this performance more amazing is that Tamia was only 26 years old.(This was May 19, 2001. Tamia was 26. Born May 9, 1975.)👍🏾👍🏾
She felt the song. Like she was LIVING IT. That is what made it so powerful.
Absolute bomb a$$ performance
@@princessmajesty8676 She was actually 25 here. This was in early 2001.
Lol 24 you know
She’s a year younger than my dad. My dad was 22 in 96. This song wasn’t released till I was 4. 2000. She 25/26 at the youngest.
its sounds like the CD version. I had to listen closely WOW..
Andre Hooker you should be a model
Just a tremendously well written song with a tremendously awesome singer
alex pizarro the original is a country song.
@@lall7860 no it’s not. If you’re referring to Ronnie Milsap it’s not even remotely the same. Just the title
@@lall7860 🧢
Yes! The words are classic and so clever. Perfect person to sing this song!
Tamia is so under-rated. I remember when You put a move on my heart came out. I had to find out who she was. Her voice was so clear and special and have been a fan of hers ever since. Sister can SAANGG!!!

Tamia voice is incredible grew up with her ❤️ mom and her aunt's she is a 🌟 lots ❤️ of love fuzz and ed god bless her
When I was in 6th grade and I heard her first song, You put a move on my heart, I about lost it. The way she slayed that song! Breathtaking vocal!!!
And Deborah Cox, too!
I think she's better than mariah. Her voice quality is smooth and strong
She could have been a model
They finally put it back on TH-cam !!
Exactly. I was like where this one go a couple months back 🤬. Glad to see it’s back as it’s one of the best performances of this song live
Yes finally
Yeah it pissed me the hell off knowing that they took it down. Glad it's back.
Yes!!!!
RIGHTTTTTT
She ate!!
Very few singers could touch this performance live. Sheer perfection.
her voice is spectacular no gimmicks no distractions just her voice and the mike... simply amazing
Oh wow
If the point of LIVE singers is to SING the SONG LIVE, then singing LIVE is what she did. Excelsior. Standing ovation.
Wow! shook! She sounds the same as the recorded version. That’s talent right there ❤
Yesss, this woman can sing sing, and definitely sounds just like the record live
Tamia!!!!!!!!!!
Most underrated female vocalist in the biz. Absolutely flawless
Love this song and she killed it
There are a Few Angelsvoice on this Planet..Tamia is One of Them..For Sure!! Love Girl..Greetings from Antwerp Belgium!! Lots of Love!!
Love me some Tamia!
Woooow, this way this woman sings this song live, what a GIFT she has. Singing with such clarity and ease, she’s a true professional.
Not a single note OFF at ALL. She SANG. Those
Belted high notes at the end where so satisfying
Yass she just needed a good piece for folks to listen - she is good!!
Tamia has the best pure vocals 2nd to Whitney Houston. This women should be a mega star 10 time over. Very underrated. True vocal talent and I have never seen one bad performance from her ever. Love this women.
DENNIS LIGGINS *woman singular
Is Tamia shy or something?! Besides not having the full push I think it may be a personality thing. Anyhow Tamia is a vocal giant and a beautiful lady...she shouldn't be criminally underrated!
I put her at no.3 next to Whitney, Keke Wyatt. Keke is off the charts and has other worldly range.
I agree but same with Deborah Cox. When she was on Wendy she said most people give their soul for the business and end up empty. She didn’t want that
Don’t disrespect Whitney like that
Natural beauty with crystal voice....
My God this woman can sing!
what a dime! Tamia was by far the most beautiful of all the sangin 90s divas.... by far!!!!!
She still looks amazing and her voice is intact.
That is REAL TALENT! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song has some very deep meaning and many persons can relate to the words.Well done Tania,one of the best R and B ever written
Shoutout to that queen at 1:13 she better know the words 🗣 ... I miss when singers sang songs better than the studio recording Tamia killed this
My Favorite Singer 👩🎤
Amazing to sing it so perfectly live..❤
Love her! Sing it girl!
An Iconic boppp!
Tamia was so underrated. This song was one of my faves growin up.. she shoulda been bigger than most of the artists that went big
This song gives me chills
One of my favorite singers! I used to work at the cash window at the McDonald's down the street from her. One Sunday morning I open the window it was her, and her husband. To this day I'm so mad at myself cuz I kept it professionally. But I wanted to buss out singing her greatest hits, and tell him I've had every single Grant Hill in every color 😅.
Autone not included...that is TALENT. But I thought ole boy was gonna drag her off the stage. Lol. Love tamia!
Haha! Seriously! I was waiting for her to yell security!
Grant Hill is a lucky dude !!!
lol
this women voice wow amazing and she's just beautifull
Have all her music..amazing voice!👍
Amen
Indeed
Omg .. nearly identical to the recorded version. This song brings back so many memories. I remember they used to play the dance version of this in the club,& *everybody* hit the floor then!
She sounds so pure when she sings live! Maybe even better than on her albums...
What a class act Tamia is, no need to take off your clothes when you have real talent!. bring back this type of music, soothes the soul.
There's no doubt Tamia is an incredible singer, BUT have you seen the video to this song?
hahahahahahahahahha exactly her body was amazing in that vid to
gympinoy Sooo true tho 👍😀
Child please. She was about to bust that blouse with her natural tits.
You would like Ella Mai
I come back this performance every now and then and still get chills every time. 😊
That was phenomenal 🤯✨ TAMIIIAAAAA!!!!!
It's amazing that God gave such talent to such a beautiful human being,to all aspiring singers out there.this is your blueprint
So beautiful!
All I can say is "OMG" her voice is amazing!
Just pure talent. We need more artist like her around
Still gives me chills. One of my favorite performances EVER! Amazing.
Absolutely amazing
She Is MAGICAL!!!!!!!!!
Remember This Is LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!
My gosh she is so beautiful
how can you not fall in love with such talent and beautiful person!!!
2o21 June 13 she a special lady if you love good music
This perfomance is so beautiful and amazing the way the crowd erupts in applause when she hits the high notes is everything imagine being there live to witness such great talent I am just in awe
She sang that song like it was deep within her soul. Like it was from experience. Tamia is one of my favorite vocalists.
Omg she is amazing!!
It’s March 2021 and this song has aged like the finest of wines.
Recently I've been streaming Tamia's songs and Deborah Cox too and they are so underrated & underappreciated
Best female vocalist I've ever heard next to Barbara Streisand and best live singer I've ever heard. Big fan of hers. Beyonce has nothing on Tamia.
CycleCruza You must never watched Whitney Houston perform Live.
Raymond Wilkins I never heard Whitney live but she was a great singer no doubt but imo Tamia is an exceptional live vocalist, she is so underrated. Tamia should be as popular as Beyonce and Mariah Carey. Personally, I think Tamia is a much better singer than Beyonce.
CycleCruza Beyonce has NOTHING to do with this song. I'm not sure why you can't like who you like without comparing? Tamia is an incredible vocalist, so is Beyonce and so is Whitney. Barbara Streisand is definitely not one of my favorites. But that's just me and with that to each their own.
Jay Lewis Beyonce is definitely a great singer and dancer. The reason I mentioned her is because she is now considered one of the best female vocalists and most famous in the game for some time now, only reason I compared her. Imo, Tamia would kill Beyonce in a singing contest, Tamia is so underrated it's not funny. I put Tamia up there with Whitney and Mariah. Just my opinion though.
Jay Lewis I think she means that Tamia is slept on. She doesn't get the same recognition as Beyoncé. Who knows why but Tamia is an amazing artist. She should get promoted better.
Sooooo underrated! Back when you had to have talent.
homie at the end would NOT let go of her hand lol. she was lookin like "dude...please let go."
Beautiful tone with such clarity!!!
And beauty to. A triple threat as they say! So few
Masterpiece
This woman gives me chills! Beautiful voice
This song still lives as one of my top 10 ever favorite songs. She killed this ❤
This is one of my favorite live performances ever! I love it even more than the album version.
tamia herself and offcourse her voice are so above and beyond beautiful..
They don’t make music as good as this lately! Tamia is an amazing artist!
This was back when TRUE TALENT was a requirement to be a singer. AMAZING.
Damn !!! She is so talented . I love this song.
That woman's voice is the eight wonder of the world! She hit every nuance, high note, run and riff precisely as she did on the track and she slayed it!!!! PERFECTION 💗 🥰
she is always amazing...and her background singers were on point as well:-)
Beautiful
She would go into the studio and sound like this with very very very little overlay, just an incredible vocal talent. Crisp voice, top tier notes.
Beautiful, classy,elegant and so so so talent. Not trashy like today artist.
If I could sing live right now I would sing this to you. 😮
Incredibly beautiful voice need some more music from her. I really slept on her she is very underrated
Wow omg I got chills bro her live vocal is ridiculous 😳😭💘
Tamia is one of my favorite singers. Her voice is so pure and she’s beautiful.
I can't stop rewinding that 3:27 part!
Flawless vocal performance.... Tamia is a stunning Gem.
2022 and i still love her!
One of the baddest there's ever been. No dancing around. No flash and glitter. Just give her a mic and you get magic. She's as great now as she was when she first hit the scene. A shame she's so underrated while people that don't even have a fraction of her talent are big stars.
She ate that the fuck up!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If she playing this song for you she gone.
Tamia I Love you !!!!!
Now THIS is how you SANG! 🔥🔥🔥
I've watched this so many times and I just noticed the dude at the end. He wouldn't let go of her hand even after his friend tried to pull it away from Tamia. She handled it so well. Vocals always a 10.
it should illegal to lip sing. Tamia is why . all artists should take note.
she is so underrated. She needs to be in the lime light again!
And she ain't got no ear piece in to help her stay in tune. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️💯
Love Tamia!!! but let's not forget Deborah Cox. ....no the awesome talents......Both underrated. .
katina witherspoon yes but at least Debra took over Broadway and the dance charts tamia didn’t get much :-(
katina witherspoon yes indeed
Both Canadians right? Awesome
Tamia has numerous r&b hits. More than Deborah actually. So Tamia is the bigger artist and still consistently putting out top charting r&b albums so..... u were assuming it seems.
Don’t disrespect Deborah like that
Saaaaaang girl!! Good ol' R&B!
Tamia love her songs!!! Also I love Kelly Price, Deborah Cox!!!!!
Tamia is gorgeous and a talent- the complete package
