Best New Artist -1989 

I just love how hype the crowd is! You can't get that now..

Jasmine Guy is so pretty !

Now I see why every one of the ladies I knew back in 1989 loved Keith Sweat‼️

Seeing these names under “new artist” is so weird lol

This was rise of the new jack swing era.

And the winner is Teddy Riley because he had his hands tied up in everything back then...

I was so proud he won we were n love w him n the 80"s

I looooove Jasmine Guy.

I want the outfit Al B. Sure wore in the video! Denim 💙

I LOVE YOU KEITH DOUGLAS SWEAT FOREVER and ALWAYS

wow that was some competition!

I love these awards shows because it was stiff competition and Al N. Sure looks great

thanks for posting this flashback. aww...these were the days!

This is Best R&B.

Miss them GOOD OLE DAYS. 💞#MYGENERATION

Quincy Brown is a spitting image of his father, Al B Sure. Unbelievable!

You rock for posting this video. Thank you so much being searching high and low for this. What a great flashback. The whole vibe just gave you that great rush of the New JackIng era.Al B is such a gracious soul. I love QDJ for finding ABS!.

When light skinned or light brown skin homies had class and swagger just like Al B Sure

Aww look at Quincy daddy lol

GOD BLESS YOU KEITH DOUGLAS SWEAT

Karyn White should of won that award! She been nominated a lot.. but it is what is!

What’s amazing is Al B Sure is now dating the beautiful Karyn White 2019

Y'all want Karen to win but let's face the fact that BeBe and CeCe has the career longevity.

@albsurelove No problem. This is one of my favorite eras in music. :)

this catergory was loaded with standout talent

@afortelv yeah i recently saw an interview here on youtube of him telling the interviewer, who called him a legend, that he's not a legend but a student. yeah he's mad humble. cause he's written and produced hits for others as well as himself.

How in the hell did Guy never when a soul train music award?

Al B. Sure really. I think Karyn should have won too, with her fine self!

Jasmine Guy and Keith Sweat looked good together. I wonder if they got together 🤔

@afortelv VEry true sis! I'm sitting here watching this getting all dreamy eyed, still in a state of shock sometimes today, realizing......

Shanice was out before Karyn.

...and where is he today? hmmm

Who was Keith Sweat looking at in the beginning? Whoever it was, got it that night 🤣😂🤣

@jackieb376 dang i see where shanice get her style of notes from lol

It must've been humiliating for Keith Sweat to not be nominated and have to be up there for the nominees, then announce Al B. Sure as the winner. Yes, Keith actually came out in 1987, but so did BeBe and CeCe Winans. I think Keith should've been nominated instead of Al.

No that aint al b s mom..his mom is brownskin..plus that girl is in her 20 s

Why is he in the new artist category? He dropped in 88'..

Keren white should have won

was that al b sure mom sitting next to him? she looks puerto rican, pretty woman. No wonder why al b sure so light skinned! lol

I didn't care for Al. B Sure! Isn't he a one hit wonder?! I don't even include Secret Garden as his cause that was a collabo!
