I remember when this album came out and i was jammin' this tune and soon as i get home' all the time. I always wondered how a girl that young could sing like she lived a lifetime already... I always liked her style though, she was kinda old school and real like Mary J. 80-90's produced the best R&B to date
Thank you! I'm glad someone said that and did it without feeling the need to insult Mary in the process. They are both amazing and have some amazing material in their catalogs, but Faith got Mary vocally.
from Jose' Sepulveda, the Hermeterec.......Lord Have Mercy, this young woman can sing! I had never even heard of her, just happened to stumble over her while surfing the 'net. I am so glad I did......serendipity, if you like. And, fellas, tell me the truth.....a'in't she a FINE PIECE OF WORK, too.....y'all KNOW she is!!
Background singers are tight! Time truly changes things, I'm very proud of Faith. Her stage pressence has definitely increased, and gone are the super-tacky 90's blonde wigs, and two piece skirt suits lol. Get it Faith Love you girl!
After reading Faith's book it makes sense why her early performances wasn't all that great. She smoked weed all the time plus she was probably nervous and stress over BIG playing her. Learn a lot about her in that book that made me look at her in a different light, not a good one. Also Faith's fans stand down, don't put Mary and her in the same sentence. They have two distinct voices.
i love this song,this era and her all togetha...i think she should bring back the blonde hair and that groove that she had back then.aint nutn like the 90's
thank you, Mary fans always have to defend her constantly. We never talk about anything other than how fantastic Faith is. She isn't even bother with MJB or even trying to compete. I wish she was though we always said if she worked harder..put out more albums she would've had a higher level of success. But thats only and idea bc MJB keeps coming out and still never reaches more than 3 million in sales...she keeps the same tired old crazy dillusional fans!
Thank you for this upload- super long shot but figured I’d ask- would you happen to have this whole episode or any others? I’m hunting for missing episodes with the musical performances included.
During this time frame..early 90's, Faith was better than Mary, but Puffy didnt market Faith like he should have. He took the money he made off of Faith and put in back into Mary, which hurt him in the long run because the eventually had a falling out and stopped working together. Faith sang with soul that we dont hear today. R&B like this isnt around anymore. Bring it BACK!!!
@Mattluvzunot they dubbed her the queen cause she sang over hiphop tracks and her content and personality represented the hip hop community unlike her peers that were out at the time(whitney,mariah,toni,anita,etc) Mary can sing great in her own right. she has also been most consistent over the years with putting out hit records and albums
absolutely right da background singers need 2 step it up dey sound like dey had a lil alcohol b4 singing faith sound like she went 2 church on dis song its one of my favorites!!!!!!!.3
whats really sad is that faith is known more for being bigs wife instead of her music. mary j has never been known for being k-ci's girlfriend she was known for being mary j
Didn't Faith sing back up for Mary J?....They had very similar vocal styles back then. Same riffs and ad libs....U never really know who copied who..MJB is /has always been my girl but just 'cos she had more promotion doesn't mean that she was not influenced by Faith or that they influenced each other!!!
@tymbaland01 faith evans didnt write on whats the 411 know what your talking about people killing me comparing her and mary faith isnt the same and mary isnt just let it go i like faith voices but honestly she cant hold a candle to mary
She will? When? Because it hasn't happened yet. Mary has never sounded better than Faith and probably never will. Since you reason that talent can be judged by record sales, would it be safe to say you think Britney Spears is better than Sade or that Madonna sings better than Whitney and Mariah?
Fait hand Mary are both great artists and have incredible track records, however , Faith is the better singer. She just needs to be marketed better and find some better producer's. But she does gert her platinum plaques, quiet as its kept. Mary just needs to go and get a vocal coach that can help her make sure her notes arent off key/sharp and that she doesnt get to close to that brasking limit
TO EVEN put MJB in the same sentence as Faith Evans is just wrong. Why bother that is like comparing Madonna to Whitney houston vocally.. ha ha eat it MS!
noone is like bc noone wants to be. Any real singer knows her vocals are horrible. They just are. This soul you talk about is a sound she has that covers up all her mistakes and errors when she is singing. No life...you sit up here and read and respond and dish it out too. so be prepared to fall into the same category that you people everyone else in.
@AnitaArethaChakaMary OH! Good you can spell, "bank account." Now, take some of it and pay for an education for yourself....and all your family and friends too! LOL!
WHY ARE YOU WATCHING FAITH VIDEOS AND walking about scarry j blige....go to one of her tired video's and defend her. Get the h@ll off the Faith videos. You must secretly love her cause you are stalking every video she has on here and listening to them.
mary took off , where did she go? She appeals to the same fans. She lost me after My Life. I am not a fan of hers because she consistently lets me down with her vocals and doesn't get better. I hate when people compare her to Faith and vise versa there is no comparison. MJB is marginally successful all through the nineties. She never got to superstar sales levels...Janet Jackson, Whitney, Mariah, Toni....Anita Baker..etc. She was only more successful than the new kids during the 90's.
Faith sucks, which is my opinion. If you don't like it that's is your problem. Just like if you don't like me, that is your problem. I'm happy so maybe all the replies to me NOT liking this performance got personal for some of you, and that is your problem.
MJB is never a better singer than anyone...technically speaking...in the 90s and all after....she has no technical ability. She is a fake singer. She doesn't know what the h@ll she is doing. Faith can, still, and always will sing circles around MJB.
@DDDD1980 Them suits she used to wear was because she was much more classy back then.That's what Puffy wanted her to be... Because Mary was more HOOD.lol
cute outfit, but I hate her hair in this video. I luv this song though. It sux to know she was emotionally hurting when this song came out. Her & Biggie were going through some things then.
