3LW - I Do (Wanna Get Close To You) ft. Loon 

Adrienne can do both - Kiely couldn’t ever sing

QMusicSTL period

@@travellj they got rid of her and went down hill

@@travellj Adrienne was good for a popstar but she couldn't hang with kiely and Naturi when they did more technical hip hop moves. Watch them closely, you will see that Adrienne makes a lot of shortcuts and doesn't do the full move if it involves footwork, isolations, or popping. She had a lot of energy and like I said she was good for the average popstar, but Kiely and Naturi were the clear dancers of the group with Kiely having the slight edge.

That child can’t act.

I do. But 3lw did it 1st and better tbh. This is coming from a huge brandy fan.

Right! My favorite part. I wish they would've had a longer dance break.

likedbymany omg ur right. She was always the weakest dancer. Doesn't surprise me.

Javan uHnah she was dancing. Do you not see her on the right? Tf

Aaliyah did it best in Rock the Boat

Did Anybody Else Notice How Adrienne Just Disappeared At The End Of The Song

shes only insecure because people think she sounds like a little girl and thats why she stopped but we all know she brings the latina fyaaaa !

Because she doesn't have the same voice now, she lost it. Did you hear her sing Selena's song to honor Selena on her passing/birthday last year or 2015 with Selena's sister there on The talk.. She sounded bad.

ConcertJunkie27 ikr she has a beautiful voice

She isn't that bad of a singer, her voice is unique and different.

Hat Sheshupt probably because she hasn't been training her voice in a long time. You're voice is like a muscle that you need to train to maintain its strength. Even the best singers need to work with vocal coaches to maintain their voices. No ones voices maintains strength and power without proper training and technique.

Yes

🔥

​@@iroquois46phy see Yes Phil see Yes Phil see see pholl phill see Yes Phil see yes baby I'm Yes phell see Yes Phil see Yes phell

Naturi and kiely did.....if you look close Adrienne wasn't there 😂😂

@@Cj-jr7jsright cause my girl couldn’t dance 😭

Totally agree!!!!!!

Agreed. They were the next ones up after destiny’s child at that time imo. Funny thing also is, DC had just announced they would do solo projects around this time which would have given 3lw a great advantage to slide into home base and claim their spot as the next great girl group with their 2nd album at that time but the adults/management involved definitely fumbled the bag with this one smh. Their 2nd album is a hidden classic and severely underrated.

I feel like they could’ve been better then destiny’s child if they stayed together 🤷🏾‍♂️

Is it me, ir was this video shoot still a little inappropriate for them, seeing is how they were technically still minors trying to be sexy?

@@rogueryder3285 only the lead singer was a minor when this came out

i just said the same thing, Naturi was always somewhere in this video, they were preparin her exit tbh, just like on the album, she was hardly on there

How black women are often treated

She had solo songs on their first album And she sang most of Playas Gon Play. Kiely never had lead vocals on a song so stop

She was clearly in the shadows for this video...I wasn't talking about the entire album smh

Lol god forbid a dark skinned girl gets the spotlight!!!! :)

+Gigi Brown Adrienne's the richest tho #facts

+Mandy X'O-twod I doubt it she hasn't been on anything but The Real Talk Show.. she tried to get her singing career on track with neyo and it failed.. so no, I don't agree. Naturi has awards, and is starring in popular TV shows and also starring in movies.

Gigi Brown Adrienne was on the cheetah girls which made shitloads of money, and then some movies. I'm in love with a church girl, the coalition etc. Naturi may be the hottest right now but A has the biggest net worth

@@amandaclbn8324 I doubt that. Naturi is a LEAD actress in several movies, and a prominent relevant show. That speaks volumes to where she is going.

For real and she is a beautiful chocolate woman

Hell, in the faith evens video for "i remember", they had freaking 8 year olds whining around faith.

@@1uhot426 lmao i remember that then we got an alternative version 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@TMKJG24 i watched it as an adult n almost threw up in my mouth lol

@@1uhot426 🤣🤣 now ima go watch just cause

@@TMKJG24 😂

Yes especially at 1:08-1:10

I caught that!

they should have given her long hair like they did to the other two the short hair doesn't suit the video!

I saw along time ago smh

I noticed immediately after watching videos about it. I was young when they were popular pa you don’t notice these things but it’s so fucked up

#Facts

Akeen Destined is dark skinned a bad thing?

Akeen Destined Exactly.

Akeen Destined The only person I ever heard refer Naturi as the "dark skinned girl" was Naturi herself. Let that sink in...

She is dark skinned so its an observation..like "the tall one". Being conscious of it implies discomfort with it

Lmao so true

+Lućifer Grandê Lol Thop it (Kiely voice)

+Justin Emmanuel 😂😂😂

lmao!

+Justin Emmanuel lmao thill out

omg lmao

Jazz Mei byyyyyye lol

"Thing" fddhbgckdjxft you WRONG for that

You petty for 'thing'

"thing" noooo 😭

LuKasAV6 yeah a sexier image.

I thought they were goin to be bigger then what they were

The glo up was too real!✨️🔥

😂😂Yeah! We Really Did!

Facts! Best Girl Group of the early 2000s imo

They're good but way too messy. How they treated Naturi was disgusting.

+Enimsaj Heby i was fully just thinking this lol

Make up does wonders

School her.

Photoshop

Even loon

idek smh

her mom was the manager so... ya know

It seemed like with every video , each member was the main one in the video

Drama. There's a vid called 3LW's shadiest moments. Basically naturi was bullied by Kiely saying she was too dark and threw a plate of chicken at her. That's why she was reduced to background on videos. Kiely felt Naturi was too dark. Karma Kiely has no career. The other two have great careers.

because her mom was the manager of the group

I bet he got 8 baby moms on speed dial.

Lol funnyyy

😂😂😂

😂😂😂

@@R.Velvet717 Lol thank you. I was honestly just joking. I love Loon lmao.

Tsunade And nickeleon

I know right, I miss the early 00s. I was 18 when they came out back in 2001. About 20 when this single came out.

Facts

Exactly

@@lateshiachilds3640 It came out back in 2002. Not only that, it was the last single they had as an original lineup before Naturi got kicked out of 3LW.

Yup. Same hairstyle and everything. Keily was definitely wearing that cat suit

Yup! Even down to the eye make up

Absolutely. Even with their choreo there’s moves in the Playas gon play video that very much give inspo from Try Again

That’s because Aaliyah’s stylist Derek Lee was the main stylist for the 3LW outfits he also said it was a little tribute to his friend Aaliyah which is why the outfit and hair on Kiely was reminiscent of her

😂

I am deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyying

peetty 😂😂

THOP IT!!!!!

hazeleyezluv playa pleeeth!!!!

She said she don't like the sound of her voice due to sound young. She did after the last tour for The Cheetah Girls One World. But She hate the business side. She really love music and singing. She have a album that never released however some songs were leaks on here. Good News, she release a album "New Tradiciones" under Adrienne Houghton on November 2017. The Gift is wrote by Adrienne and Israel Houghton. She made 2 guest features on Israel album Road To DeMaskus called Secrets and I'm with you/Be Still. She have some songs release under Adrienne Bailon like Don't Give On Us, Loosen Me Up, Chase The Wind, Superbad, Live It Up, This Hot, Only you, Superbad and etc. In late 2020 she joined Israel and New Breed. She made a guest appearance on Israel and New Breed "I'm with you/Be Still" (same song from Israel's Road To DeMaskus). We as fans need encourage and support her for more songs as solo artist.

@@jamalsanford0729 Great thanks for info!

😂😂😂😂

Like we saw her walk off

I didn't notice until you said something 😂

Auss Baynard lmao because she fell on her face doing the video and ruined her make-up I remember her saying that on 106 & Park a long time ago.

Lol !! I'm weak .

Jeremy Collins she's beautiful, why not. But I def think her Mom being the manager aided that.

Kev E on I agree with you.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Haha I’m dead

Oh wow

I literally just said the Exact same thing. Smh this in itself is to further validate Naturi's claims on what her exact role was for the group. They treated the poor girl less than what she was and she settled because that was her dream job.

Official Terral right

This is a director thing. I would love to know who directed this video... Naturi was purposely cut out and filmed in the SHADOWS.

I didn't know them back then, but non of the time they were singing gave her a chance for vocals. Probably they knew she outdone all of them

I also don't like that she wasn't able to be soft and feminine like the other two. Her mannerisms were always hard and almost masculine.

Lmaooo too true

Weakkkkkkkkkk!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

LOL!

Come on mean girls reference lol

Dayoungrockstarjay Yaaaas honey! That's my favorite movie lol

Thank U, that's what I'm thinking. Why's she so far in the dark 4?

its hard to watch knowing how a lot of people conspire to bully dark skinned black ladies. The backstory is horrendous.

it wasn't them it was Kiely's mom (aka the manager)

ThatsSoLizz lol they did appear much older then. She was a sophomore/junior at this point tho. Kiely 16, Adrienne 17 and Naturi 18.

@@iamnomha Nope, as this was released on June 18th 2002, Kiely was only 15 years old when this song was released as she was born in July 9th 1986, approximately less than a month before her 16th birthday. Adrienne is the oldest of the group (born in October 24th 1983), so was already 18 at this point and she can't possibly be older than Naturi who JUST turned 18, who was born in May 20th 1984, a month before this song is released.

Surprised R.kelly wasn't in the video

@@thepromiseman7745 😆🤣😂😁😄😆🤣😂😁😄😆🤣😂😁😄 Me too, I was saying even the guy was singing is too old to be hanging out with them or collab with them.Way too old.

@@samlsd9711 I know right ... but r . Kelly would of loved being in that video especially with those young girls he would of enjoy it and at least try I'm not going to say try ...he would of holla at them

Believe it or not, but there was a time in the early 00's, Nic Cannon was the hottest act around.

Naughty by nature was in it too.. Its bout marketing..familiar faces.. Like when TI first came out dude had everyone in his video ..i think rubberband man

Loon was 27 hugging on a 16 yo. Times were wild back then. Adrienne was 19 and Naturi 18.

But Adrienne can sing whereas jLo can act lol

Naturi is not the strongest singer. Adrienne is. Plus she has more range.

She is not the strongest singer 😂😂😂

Lauren yea but I always thought why naturi wasent in the cheetah girls

lol from @1:19 to the disney channel...all the way

W T F I S A cheetah girl and couple years after 3 L W started for some reason naturi was ejected from the group smh

actually the cheetah girls was released in 2003... 3LW came after

That's what my dad always said as a kid but I didn't believe him he was right 😂😂

Crazy to think Diddy wanted to kick her off the song

True.

What is Keily's last name?

Exactly .

It's a Disney movie and money. What you expect!!!

@M Lane yes unfortunately I had always heard that mentioned about her the kardashians even tried to shade her about it chris brown read her for the behavior too there were even rumors that kiely and adrienne exchanged sexual acts with the St lunatics if they wanted them to hang out with their crew on the trl tour they had to participate although 3lw was marketed as a squeaky clean group while naturi said it in a magazine a long time ago.

Welcome to Hollywood where much worse happens

Kiely's a baddie fym?

+osimeon00 not only that but one of them was just 17 when this video was shot

actually she was 15

They were all under 18!

It looks like a Dave Meyers video. A lot of his videos during that time had that high saturated computer graphics aesthetic.

jsolworld dave meyers or chris robinson maybe .

jsolworld it was directed by Chris applebaum the same director wo directed Rihanna's SOS

Yeah that 2001-02 style of music videos round this time all them looked the same

sooo true!

They kicked her out the group for not being so hood like a gangster girl

+Antonio Lindsey But she wasn't hood and there was feud between Kiely and Naturi, Kiery's parents were their managers, so inevitably they were gonna kick Naturi out.

yeah and i agree with you

+Antonio Lindsey Sorry, I read your comment wrong, thought you said she was hood, oops my bad.

Love this song, but "Is you feeling me" is the best song they ever did.

Now, it's just considered to be the basic bitch of 2019. If you weren't twerking or walking around naked, you were considered a prune.

Weird that Adriane literally said wild n out right after Nick cannon face appears

L Johnson not her father her sister

She can sing , I believe she got singing lessons because she could sing in the cheetah girl movies

Always Katerina She had lessons and after that she sounded okay but there was nothing special or powerful about her voice

@@TimothyRichard12345 Don't be a hater its not a good look

@@ItsKatToria but it's true. Her sister tried to make her a new Aaliyah or a Beyonce type back then. When that didn't work, they thought they put her in Disney Cheetah Girls, that would boost up her career. It did for a little while, but once they disbanded, Kiely just drifted off.

I was in like 5th grade when this came out now my son’s is in 5th and 6th. I feel old

Kichelle taylor they try to always put the other one as Selena

She looks like Aaliyah from the more than a woman music video in this video

Okayyy! She is using her talent and artistry 100%

& Kiely is working at Cookouts and Chucky Cheese as a singer

@@eroupopper 💀💀

Look how long it took her the cheetah girls was in stores worldwide and plus the sold records sooooooo kiely and Adrienne still went on making a name for there self from 2003 till 2009

what???? she just became "the" beyonce... in this very moment... straight up... thats like saying loon is diddy... the fuck??? lmao

Adrienne is B Naturi is Kelly n Keily is Michelle

Nicole Webb Michelle? Nah dont disrespect Michelle. Keily was Latoya luckett.

@@betterthanyou.9530 lol Michelle can't sing tho n Latoya Luckett

@@betterthanyou.9530 Don't discredit Latoya. Keily was the Farrah of the group

She said she don't like the sound of her voice due to sound young. She did after the last tour for The Cheetah Girls One World. But She hate the business side. She really love music and singing. She have a album that never released however some songs were leaks on here. Good News, she release a album "New Tradiciones" under Adrienne Houghton on November 2017.

I believe she will listening to us and come back into music as solo artist and with her second album.

I wondered that back in 2002 when this came out when I was 16. I was like "how is she gettin' in a club at 16 and I'm not?"

@@Carolina_girl86 Smh... It's a cute song, but they can get on down the road with this foolishness! LMAO!!

+nikeboy3211 On what planet? Adrienne is bigger than her.

Naturi is successful with her acting. Adrienne is just on the real

+nikeboy3211 she was on multiple other things as well and everyone only knows Naturi from Power

Wtf HOW???? Adrienne is waaaaaay bigger!!!! Hello she was a fuckin cheetah girl and is still famous I mean how many people actually know who tf nature is

+Mir B we know her from the movies FAME , lottery ticket, and Notorious as well
