It's music to my ears.

@ the high notes.

I'm starting to like it a lil since I can tell he's singing it straight from his heart.

That's true, though. And it IS difficult to sing it live, and also I'm sure he thought of Bobby...El didn't seem to want to take over lead. maybe it was too emotional for him.

Yes^ but I can't help from rofl @ 2:31 in the clip. El is going into the adlibs and then the band and his brothers just takes another turn and he gotta play it off. lol

Oh yeah! LOL. Didn't even notice that until now. That's funny! Haha.

Where is this concert taking place...in Hell, Michigan?

I know there is somebody on this board that can't let his (her?) hatred for Janet go and was all but said that Janet did everything for her. Needless to say, that even sick Janet can give a better performance than whatever this is!

Y'all mofos is late... this clip has been around forever

Even so, yeah, it's a pretty hard piece to get through. James's falsetto is obviously weaker than El & Bobby's, and yes it's clearly difficult for him to do those runs and maintain committment to the notes...I'm just happy to see evrey now and then bruhs can get out and cop a gig. You know, when you spend your life and career as a musician whatever bookings you get you just do the best you can

It's good to see them performing, I'm just glad there's only old people in this neighbourhood when I had it turned up loud, The cat did run though...Fast.

We know James aint BOBBY, but lets give him a A for effort, I'm surprised El did'nt take lead on this one seeing that he is probably BOBBY's equal in the vocal department. I loved it nonetheless.....I'm a huge DEBARGE/SWITCH!!!!!

regcart said:

I agree, James gets an A for effort. I've watched the clip for atleast 10 times now and have more appreciation for it.

Prince makes this shit look so easy...it ain't

Can we just talk about how HOT El looks?

scriptgirl said:

I love the man, but he looks better from afar.

Unfortunately one discovers in person that his face is slightly on the "crater-y" side up close.

scriptgirl said:

omg you ain't neva lied This is the main reason why I keep watching it. The man looks gooood.

I also just noticed after re-watching this that is-a-whooooole-lot of baby oil in them boys hair to keep it slicked down OMG they really are old skool to a fault. Love it.

how do you know that is baby oil? I thought they had naturally straight hair?
You mean El has acne scars? He isn't that cute in person? Ever seen Chico up close?

The baby oil reference was a joke, and no where in my post did I suggest that they didn't have straight hair, or curly, or what...

I don't know why El has a slight crater texture to his skin, your guess is as good as mine. He's an attractive man, but I never found him to be "the most" attractive of boys if you stand him next to his brothers that were originally in the group, in person, side-by-side. Mark and Randy seem to radiate the most and have 10,000 megawatt smiles, not to mention skin like buttah...

No, I have never seen Chico up close.

All in all though, when El sits down at that pian-a he becomes nothing less than the finest thang on earth to me...and it would be wonderful to see him actively on the scene again

Mark has very weird features to me and Randy is average looking. However, Bobby, El, James and Chico-GODS.
