Eve and her best friend Andrea tell the true story behind her song "Love Is Blind". Aired on the Queen Latifah Show (2000) Like on Facebook: Klassic Throwback TV
I wonder if Eve realizes how many lives she saved with this one, MINE being one ☝🏻. This song gave me strength in one of the lowest and troubling phases of my life. It was on EVERYDAY, some days on REPEAT. It gave me strength to be my own damn best friend. Eve is a beautiful soul. Thank you girl
I remember when this song came out, I was young and didn't know what it all meant....unfortunately I went through this with my kids father..I'm blessed to be here today.
PTSD, Stockholmes Syndrome, Internal battle in the mind, heart and soul, etc. Although this was years ago, I immediately started to pray for her friend because those wound are deep rooted and you can tell by the expression on her face she had suppressed all kinds of feelings when it came to that male. Only way I'm able to thrive, forgive, and heal is because of God.
The thing that sucks is it would take the grace of God to get a female rapper to make a song like this now and it be on replay on the radio. Even in this Social Media age...we still need a track like this. Miss early 2000s :-( ...Times have changed so much!
today is important that neo femminsts shake their asses, show their breasts in public, but the y would not protect women of violence or encourge them to respect their body
There was this classmate in college that had this nice looking boyfriend... she was beautiful and they made a nice looking couple. I used to wish I had “their relationship”... they ended up married with kids. She was doing well for herself, joined the military and started her own business. Well 2 years ago the husband killed her and then took his own life after the police found him. It really woke me up to stop being envious of crap I know nothing about and everything that glitter isn’t gold. It also made me more aware of red flags... that crazy controlling crap isn’t cool to me after that. Fine people can be crazy too! Now her kids will grow up without both of their parents. I said all of that because this songs always reminds me of her 💕
I’m sorry to hear that. 😢 You’re right though, what always glitters isn’t gold. It’s scary that people feel trapped in horrible relationships and struggle with cutting ties with their abusers. Those poor babies don’t have their mother. I hope to God her parents or someone in her family has custody of her children.
@@LatinaChef1986 it’s so unfortunate. I forgot to put in there that she did finally leave . They weren’t together anymore when he took her life . I believe they were separated but he couldn’t take that she was leaving him and moving on . He didn’t have much going on for himself and she was thriving in her career.
I was just born when this aired 💯 & my mom made me listen to this type music...she always said this is real music, people told stories thru their music back then
I can relate cause I was in a abusive relationship with a guy that wanted rush relationships with me he just met me and when I didn't wanna have sex with him he forced me down and I couldn't get up so I had to try to run for my life and he caught me.
That's not love though 🤷🏾♀️ Love is patient, kind, etc. Love is misconstrued these days. Love thyself this way! Be patient with yourself, be kind to yourself! If theses things aren't happening is NOT love. Love is as clear as day. That's HATE!
Eve is such a great friend to support Andrea's healing during that painful time. I'm so glad her best friend got out that relationship. I hope the best for her and her daughter.
That's crazy I never knew this was based actual events.. I cried like a baby at the age of 15 to the video of this song and cried like a baby watching this.. I pray all is well with her..
Most of the songs is actually wrote are very personal and autobiography written from the heart and written from real life experiences and feelings that's why I love her up to this day I'm listening to her music in 2019 because Eve is a legend and she always will be
I remember listening to this song with my best friend in high school. We loved it and memorized every word. Little did I know I would go through an abusive relationship just a few years later and even though states divided us, she was there for me still. I’m sitting here, fourteen years later in a happy, healthy marriage crying remembering that time.
I love that song u could tell her heart was poured into those lyrics and she meant every word and it was PERSONAL song brings tears to my eyes every time i hear it eve is a real one ❤
U can tell eve was more emotional because her sister was in the audience.....u could tell she tried to avoid eye contact.....and u can tell the 3rd verse hit her sister hard knowing she could've died
That was my song back then, I remember listening to it over and over to learn the words. “How could you beat the mother of your kids? How could you tell her that you love her and don’t give af if she live”
Knowing Andrea's story, I feel that so much I used to be in HS asking my home girls, why they just won't leave? And then I went through this shit myself. With a small child and living it. I appreciate the queen. Queen Latifa. Everything in Eve's song is relatable... Sad.
Never let anyone put hands on you! The first time should be the last. You're beautiful, you're worthy, and if they can't see you for what you are, or don't appreciate you for what you are...keep it moving.💗 Be strong people, live long💯
Nicki, Iggy and Azealia happened. I want more female MC's like Missy Elliott, Lauryn Hill, Lil Kim, Da Brat, Rah Digga, Left Eye, Queen Pen, Lil Mama and MC Lyte. All their songs were different, memorable and just tight. Sometimes I wish I grew up in my mums era, I love listening to songs she used to hear on the radio as a teen.
my cousin was killed 1 month after our family reunion by her BF. murder-suicide. ladies and men, get out of an abusive relationship bc ppl will say shit to scare you so they won't suffer the consequences but fuck that, yo life is more valuable than anything. love who you are and have. a relationship with God and he will send you somebody that deserves you! and definitely treat you like a queen/king
So sorry for your the loss of your cousin... Ive never personally experience domestic violence from a partner but I know quite a few that has and still is going thru it... My biggest fear is one of my sister being seriously hurt or killed by the hands of their partner. If it ever happens to me in which I pray that it don't. Looking at and reading these stories give me enough strength to leave. Run like hell and never look back. He was a true coward for taking her life... But an even more coward taking his own and not doing the time for his crime. He didn't serve his time in the physical but I'm 100% sure he's serving it in the spiritual wolrd. God sits high and looks below... So he really didn't get away with anything. Praying for u your family and children if she had any...
I'm so sorry for your lost. I had a high school friend, who was killed by her boyfriend while she was pregnant with his child because he didn't want to mess up his future, and she wouldn't get a an abortion.
This episode of the Queen Latifah show really had me in a emotional place cause I had a friend go through the exact same thing but I saved her from him and he is now in prison for the rest of his life
Eve used to snap back in the day omg she was my favorite rapper. Female rappers talked about real issues then. This mess today is just fake and auto tuned
The original Queen Latifah show. The first incarnation was popping. The one episode I distinctly remember was somebody's boyfriend was dressing up thinking he was Michael Jackson with the HIStory era hat and skin tone. Didn't Latifah and Eve had beef or was it between Foxy and Eve? Anyway, thanks for the throwbacks. Can't believe it's been 16 years almost.
KlassicThrowbackTV I'm 20 by the way, these throwback videos take me wayyyyyy back!! please upload Mary's very first interview and others. Aaliyah, Busta, Nas, Missy, ATCQ, Kim, etc. if you have them stored.
This story is so touching to me because I can relate , I'm alive but have met some that didn't make it rip . I truly love this song. I have two girls and they know what I would do if a punk a$$ put there hands on them. They live miles away and I would be there in a heart beat
I hope so. But, at the same time people are in your life for a reason or a season... Eve could have been her season ( with no bad, fallout or feelings)
eve's friend is so strong for allowing eve to share her story❤ women still go through this everyday & it's not talked about as much, but it should be...they are so strong & I love that song ❤❤❤
Every time I hear this song, I get goosebumps.. just to imagine someone going through that! Eve was a good friend to her, for sticking by her side and dedicating this song to her.
Being in an abusive relationship is no joke especially when it's the father of your kids. My situation started out wonderful then he went from an angel to a monster, a whole 360° one way in front of my family then behind closed doors another. I'm thankful to God everyday I got out of it, 7 years now and thankful my kids are good as well. Can definitely relate to this....😥💪👪
I love Eve for this song! I was once in abusive relationship and when I got out I had no support. Folks thought I was going to go back & my mom and grandmother took his side. It was so fucked up and still till this day. But anytime I felt like going back or helping him in Court, this song played in my head and got me threw.
I loved this song , understood it but was too young to really understand. From 15 to 25 I was in an abusive relationship. Some situations are worse than others, but it still takes its toll. It took me a while to realize what I was going through was abuse. Physical was happening but it was mostly verbal, emotional and financial abuse. Mental breakdown, depression, kids , postpartum, illnesses ( from stress) violent thoughts. God kept me and all of us that survived
This song and video just makes me cry thinking about my sister going through abusive relationships in her past. I don’t know how I would have dealt with life if I had lost her because of the abuse.
Abusive relationships always start out so subtle.. It might start out "playfully" telling you not-so-nice things that eventually you believe and it diminishes your worth. Then it usually escalates to something more physical. Women if it happens even ONCE please leave! If you stay the trauma will be so bad that often people never overcome it
This was a straight up tear jerker for me. I haven’t heard this song in a min and it hot me hard especially seeing her friend and hearing her story 😢. I’m glad she os alive bc that song of her dying stay with me for a long time.
