FULL CREDIT TO DENNIS EDWARDS AND SIEDAH GARRETT AND ALL INVOLVED for this classic!!! Music used is property of original artist and this video is made as a tribute / parody to celebrate and educate the world on a classic song!
Every one gives props to Dennis (rightfully so) here with the ike turner impression , but siedah was working it with the dancing on this video. She was on beat
YO!!!!! I nearly fell out of my seat!!!! first i was like, this is going to be wack like like the other parodies because they didn't start with the gum chewing, but they lip synced it very well and the facial expressions!!! He's singing MAD!
Nicely done...the mouth movements were too on point and bittersweet for a fan of Dennis like i am and will forever be because those mouth movements represented a time in Dennis' life that i was so glad he overcame. May this incredibly gifted and powerful vocalist always rest in peace and thanks for all those great songs
My sister nailed Siedah’s groove, spirit, and overall aura, my man absolutely did his thang as well... A1 one Saturday night live material, thanks for the laughs y’all I definitely needed it.
This is the best so far!!! This is genius because people don't understand that the whole point of a parody is to OVER exaggerate a scene NOT only emulate it movement by movement. This is the best depiction of how Dennis probably really felt while being high as a kite or withdrawing but had to mask it with gum chewing. I've seen all of them and this one is the best of a true parody hands down! R. I. P Dennis Edwards!!
This is one of my favorite R&B songs from the 80's, and of course loved Eric B & Rakim's Paid in Full that sampled it. I have no clue of what happened to Dennis Edwards, but Siedah Garrett had a pretty strong career, having worked with Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, and she did some Grammy Award winning soundtrack ... maybe for Dream Girls? When the academy was trying to shed its image of being an all white male establishment, Siedah was one of the relatively few African American woman members, and I heard her all over the media discussing it. Did you know ... she co-wrote MJ song "Man in the mirror"? As for this duo's video, I love it! It's not mean spirited. Let's face it .. the song might be great, but the video was weird and a bit dark, with Dennis clearly lit, and a few times, it seemed like Dennis grabbed Siedah a bit too forcefully... the parody makes it actually funny. You guys went for it, and it came out great!!
DAMN! That girl has got to be Siedah's twin sister! Siedah performed the sexiest performance in a video I'd ever seen, and this girl, besides looking JUST LIKE HER, is a sexy young thing, herself. (I'm an older man, so I look for these things.) They both did a great job - well done!
Na minha opinião, este vídeo é a melhor homenagem ao Dennis. Eles estão bem semelhantes aos dois.Esse cara é uma comédia e essa moça encarnou muito bem a Siedah . Ela é muito engraçada. O melhor vídeo. Parabéns.
You forgot the chewing gum! In an interview with NPR, Siedah Garrett said Dennis rolled in from some all-nighter, didn't change his clothes and kept that chewing gum in his mouth the entire time. They did that video in one take!!!! After hearing that interview, I rewatched that video and I will never look at it the same! It's hilarious!!!!
