Back when singers put on a theatrical performance even for day time television. I know all those stay at home soccer moms were shook at this amazing performance.
Shanice sung this song way better than the cd version. She came to New Olreans once and did this very same routine and I was crying down. I LOVE and ADORE her so much she is such a GREAT SINGER, so UnderRATED and not a bad dancer either as she showed in this performance.
Thank you! Don't mess with my girl Janet. Janet does the thingggggg! But, Shanice is underrated. Janet and Shanice are great friends. Shanice is a great singer and dancer.
you have a beautiful voice and you sing like an angel . I think your video is wonderful and I thank you for singing it . when I close my eyes is a beautiful song and your beautiful voice and your wondeful music complement the beautiful song beautifully .
I am supposed to be studying! I have been looking at her vids all this while! I am loving it though...her voice is extraordinary! Oh and excuse me with the blindfolded routine...you go girl...you guys were still in sync with one another. Great job!
That was great! I really liked her remix of her previous songs that she used on the show. BTW, this was from I believe March, 1999 when Howie still used to have a full head of hair. He would shave it all off about a year later to the one that he looks like today.
Finally, we do agree on the same point. We even like the same artists. I have songs by all those ladies you've mentioned. It seems like mainstream doesn't care about how talented you are; just as long as you look good and maybe dance a little. They'll supply the vocals for you if they have to.
she betta get it, she did all that powerful singing without sounding out of breath after she danced her ass off, absolutely amazing, I am havin half a gag.
you are a wonderful dancer I really enjoy your amazing music now I remember you from tv show like new York hot track and MTV TRL and video music box . those were my favorite TV shows from back in the day so when I watch your wonderful performance on star search I just have to say there may be a lot of talent shows but you were the first star to shine in the beautiful spotlight win or lost you became a star that rose to the top of the pop chart.
@mariahforever1990 Her vocal coach was her mother Crystal Wilson from she was a little girl until she got to age eleven, she did further training with Seth Riggs who also worked with Stevie Wonder, Josh Groban, Barbra Streisand, Michael Jackson and many more. He founded the Speech Level Singing technique, so that is what Shanice uses.
put the vocal range of mariah carey, mix with the power of whitney houston, and finally add the energy and moves of janet jackson while she dances...here you are...SHANICEEEE!...I'm just wondering why she's not as famous as them...GO SHANICEEEE!!
To also eleborate further on the point of her age at the time or anytime, I was only making an analogy of how she progressed over the years as she was once younger and singing music of her age group at the time, to the progression she was then(26) to the age she is now. Not pen pointing any documented time period of when she recorded any specific song.
Peopl please they are not just dancing they are also doing sign language to the actual words of the song so a deaf person can still know what she is singing here. please
Obviously, something more important! Of all that you have noted it still wasn't enough to keep her out of rehab. So what's your point! I prefer those who have it together.
Another thing ,are you debating about the business or are you debating about real talent? Because if you're referring to the business... you're correct in every way. If you're referring or debating about the talent,.... very little, if any, is in mainstream. In my opinion, there isn't much to listen to. Almost NONE in mainstream.
You know what BeautifulOnes, there was a time in mainstream music where the artist were idolized for their talent and not so much for the way they looked. The fans used to emulate their favorite artists' vocal talents to the point that they would ask their favorite artist about their training technique and how much do they practice, regardless of how they looked. This doesn't happen anymore and that's sad. You didn't have to be a beauty queen or a runway model to be talented.
That maybe so, but you must also remember that Shanice was a grown woman who at the time was also married. So I don't think she could've or even want referto her formal style since that was when she was a child and this is a woman at her best. I would think like most artist of different age groups you would want to evolve and not look back. Always changing and creating good music. Not so much the biz of show.Shanice was a very good singer at 16 and better at 26 and even better at 36!
As you get older your style of music whether vocally or musically, it chages and matures. Her voice is much different at 36 than it was at 26 or 16. That's the analogy. Beides, one would say the same thing about Beyonce, she never looked her age even when she was a teen. To me she always looked older than what she is or the other girls. Now she's going to be 29. That's just my opinion!
Well, BeautifulOnes, I'm sorry if you feel that way. But, your opinion is just that ...yours, and my opinion is mine. First of all, you're the only one that somehow believes that Shanice looked older at 26 when in reality she didn't. She looked age appropriate for the kind of music she was singing. I also knew that she was 18 at the time she recorded "I Love Your Smile" in the early ninties, that's how I know she's 36 this year.
I don't know what a 30something year old sounds like compare to a 20something year old, but, if memory serves me correct and it does, if you are consistently vocally practicing,y ou get better (not worse) with time. At least that's what I've learned in voice class. Her voice was stronger and better at 26, than at 16 when she sounded like a little girl. But, now at 36, she sounds even better as a woman.
As for the style of music she was doing when she was 26, it was age appropriate considering it was all about romance, committment or the lack thereof , sexuality and infidelity. It may not have been widely accepted by the mainstream media, but again, I disagree with you, it was accepted by a more mature audience with very well received reviews.
@tdk986 she put her family first...can't have both in the industry...mariah (missing since marriage), Whitney got married (need we say more), Janet jackson (kept her marriages a secret for this very reason) and viola...shanice thought they could both exists in a happy vortex...WRONG...you HAVE to chose in the industry....if you want to be the cream of the crop....children tend to put bullet holes in the situation......you have to choose....if you do both, one will suffer
I totally beg to differ with you on the comparisons between Shanice and Beyonce. Shanice is a true gifted singer with a 5 octave range and uses it very well. Beyonce is an entertainer who can sing but has a very limited vocal range. Shanice is in the category of females called , Colouratura spopranos a.k.a "Whistle Singers". At best, B is a 2nd soprano. There is a vast difference between the two performers.Shanice is a gifted singer who can dance. There really isn't any comparisons at all.
By the way, isn't B eyonce turning 29 this year ? I really don't know why the relevance of age has anything to do with true talent? If it means you may have market yourself to a more adult or mature audience, than so be it. We all can't be young forever or market ourselves to the next generation of teen/tween music listeners. A true musician evolves and changes with the times as music evolves and changes. So do people evolve and change.
mann music has changed smh what happened to talent like shanice smh she was the only one who sounded the same live shit she sounded better live and sounded the same as her cd she never veeded a gimmick she is pure talent and soul too bad music isnt like this no more now its just terrible
It's not something a seasoned singer performer would want or like to do since they are in a different age of maturity and they want to record real music of substance and not crap. The business is about making money and not so much about the talent. Any female today can put on a miniskirt, be pretty and only sing one note, if even that much. GOOD LUCK to anyone in this generation who can bring back real music instead of what it is today. That's even if they know real music or even care.
janet and shanice are good friends so please don't go there. Janet may not be the best vocalist but she is a great dancer and all around entertainer so what can you say Shanice and Janet are both great at what they do
I'm not clear on what is there to understand. As I've stated before, either you can appeal to the mainstream or you don't. Age may or may not play a factor. I've known that concept longer than you've been alive. You either go along with the program or you don't. Apparently, certain seasoned singers opted not to deal with the so-called BUBBLE GUM mainstream sound that to my opinion, really doesn't have any subsatance. Just like the new artists today are vocally challenged. .
Terribly underrated singer!!!!!
Back when singers put on a theatrical performance even for day time television. I know all those stay at home soccer moms were shook at this amazing performance.
This girl was definitely underappreciated.
i used to play this song over and over again!!!!!
ME TOO 😱
Dayum I can't believe how many people are sleep on Shanice!!!
Howie Mandel with hair! Haven't seen that in years😁
I remember being at Disney's college program in '99 and saw her perform at the BET soundstage! Even got a pic with her! Lol
Shanice sung this song way better than the cd version. She came to New Olreans once and did this very same routine and I was crying down. I LOVE and ADORE her so much she is such a GREAT SINGER, so UnderRATED and not a bad dancer either as she showed in this performance.
Thank you! Don't mess with my girl Janet. Janet does the thingggggg! But, Shanice is underrated. Janet and Shanice are great friends. Shanice is a great singer and dancer.

you are a wonderful dancer I really enjoy your amazing music now I remember you from tv show like new York hot track and MTV TRL and video music box . those were my favorite TV shows from back in the day so when I watch your wonderful performance on star search I just have to say there may be a lot of talent shows but you were the first star to shine in the beautiful spotlight win or lost you became a star that rose to the top of the pop chart.
coool song so classic
You don’t see SKILL like that anymore. Oh, the 90’s!
@mariahforever1990 Her vocal coach was her mother Crystal Wilson from she was a little girl until she got to age eleven, she did further training with Seth Riggs who also worked with Stevie Wonder, Josh Groban, Barbra Streisand, Michael Jackson and many more.

put the vocal range of mariah carey, mix with the power of whitney houston, and finally add the energy and moves of janet jackson while she dances...here you are...SHANICEEEE!...I'm just wondering why she's not as famous as them...GO SHANICEEEE!!
Her range is uncomparable she uses all of it!!..She has a low and upper register that cant be touched..FLAWLESS!!!
The morning show didn’t deserve this greatness. She should have kept it simple for promotion purposes
@ai5H4 you're sooo soooo right man....
not understanding, real vocals not being promoted!!!!
To also eleborate further on the point of her age at the time or anytime, I was only making an analogy of how she progressed over the years as she was once younger and singing music of her age group at the time, to the progression she was then(26) to the age she is now. Not pen pointing any documented time period of when she recorded any specific song.
Peopl please they are not just dancing they are also doing sign language to the actual words of the song so a deaf person can still know what she is singing here. please
i just realized that they was doin sign language
@ohreally4u
Yes she is still married going ten years strong with two beautiful children.
Obviously, something more important! Of all that you have noted it still wasn't enough to keep her out of rehab. So what's your point! I prefer those who have it together.
Another thing ,are you debating about the business or are you debating about real talent? Because if you're referring to the business... you're correct in every way.

i love this song this my girl i wonder what happen to her
@tdk986 yeah right!!!
she has a utube account
check her out
That maybe so, but you must also remember that Shanice was a grown woman who at the time was also married.

@thefloacist If Christina lip sync it's because it's out of her control but Mariah is lipping for years now.
mann music has changed smh what happened to talent like shanice smh she was the only one who sounded the same live shit she sounded better live and sounded the same as her cd she never veeded a gimmick she is pure talent and soul too bad music isnt like this no more now its just terrible

GOOD LUCK to anyone in this generation who can bring back real music instead of what it is today. That's even if they know real music or even care.
The Dancing is So CORNY!!! I heart Shanice though! She is so wonderful!! I can't wait for the new cd, I'll be at the record store.
Shaniece um no shanice
Well since you know 'no one is perfect' I do not expect for you to go about 'down-talking' others. Why don't we live what we preach? At least I try.
janet and shanice are good friends so please don't go there. Janet may not be the best vocalist but she is a great dancer and all around entertainer so what can you say Shanice and Janet are both great at what they do
I'm not clear on what is there to understand. As I've stated before, either you can appeal to the mainstream or you don't. Age may or may not play a factor.

You are really funny, cuz dis MUST BE a joke! Wat is more funny is that da joke is ON YOU! Stick 2what you know, which is nothing!!!
It strikes me how Shanice voice sound even more beautiful and rich LIVE!!! What a Vocalist!
