This is one of my favourite performances by Tevin Campbell. At one point it disappeared off of RU-vid for years. Now I've found it. Enjoy! I don't own any copyrights in this video.
"I'm Ready" is packed full of runs and riffs reminiscent of Whitney Houston. Could he have channeled Whitney Houston in this performance? Absolutely mind-blowing!
@@Bylettti if vocal coach means listening to her records and studying her, then yes lol. Tevin debuted early 90s. Whitney didn't start seeing a coach until 2005 when she couldn't ignore the vocal damage anymore. Her coach before then was just Cissy & Cissy didn't train Tevin.
Tevin Campbell…. What can I say about this young gem? His style, his tone, the texture of his voice, his ad libs…. Reminds me of WH. He’s definitely the male version of her (Whitney Houston). I recently heard him say in an interview that she is one of his greatest influencers…. you can definitely tell here.
@@thetruthsideswiththeoppressed he wasn't even the best young teenage male R & B singer during that era. There was someone who voice was stronger and smoother.
"He sings so effortlessly , singing is naturally his gift !" "When you hear him sing to this day he touches your heart deeply and sends chills through you !"
Tevin had No auto tune a pure singer with real back up vocals a real live band that played Real music instruments not loud bass track loops auto tune singers with no talent just catchy hooks that can't perform live
Never heard a slowed down version of Im Ready and in love with it! If I was younger I would probably hate it becauze I hated remixes back then,lol. My taste now has evolved and I can appreciate a switch up. Speaks to the talent and producers to still make the same song sound different and still good.
What do they have in common? Glenn Jones, Johnny Gill, late great Gerald Levert, and Tevin Campbell are they all sounded mature in their teenage years. They were all vocal monsters in their teenage years. Tevin Campbell was 16 going 17 on this video
The first time I heard his songs I was hooked( for your love)is my favorite.I played it for my girlfriend at the time and she loved it so much she borrowed my CD and never gave it back.He's super talented I feel he should have been showcased more than he was back then. if you can sing live I'll support you. And he can 🎤🎤🎙️🎙️
I have a friend that had a child and claimed to be Tevin' s cousin, he said that Tevin' s father was really not a part of his life but tried to be and said Tevin' s father after he started becoming famous, showed up at Tevin' s mother's house and the first thing he asked her was where's the money and said that Tevin' was there when he said it and was devastated because his father didn't want to see him but wanted money. If his cousin was telling the truth it was truly a devastating moment. His cousin also went on to say that's when Tevin started doing drugs and heavily. Most young artists go on tour without guardians and become exposed to drugs and sex on the road. That is why I say be careful young people that have to work with grown musicians, they will expose you to things you as a child should be protected from.
