For people who are use to a certain standard of life, then have the bank account dry up, that's often a deal breaker. But these two cling to each other even through the pauper stages - o, yeah, that's REAL love.
*Let’s be real, almost all stars back in the day were shorted earnings heavily during their careers. Talent was so real and pure. Now there really isn’t any talent and they get paid hefty. This is sad.*
Yep, you're absolutely right, they cared MORE about the talent than the image back then, but now they care MORE about the image than the talent which is REALLY😢💯
Financial strains is one of the leading causes of marriages breaking up. Hats off to this couple for weathering the storm, and staying together. I'm sure it wasn't easy.
I wouldn't even say it's financial strain I'd say it's just lack of communication about finances, wealthy couples divorcing left right and centre while people who are less financially well off might actually tend to stick it out together because they have to and separating would make them fnancially much worse off
Shanice have one of the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen on a person. She should have been so much bigger both beauty and talent. I remember on her reality show Babyface stated between her mother and manager they kept her career going further.
That was so great of Martin Lawrence and his wife ( at the time) to help them out. I remember when they tried to have a reality show but after a couple episodes it was cancelled.
Despite the trials & tribulations Shanice kept her head up. I love how she & Flex met…organically. I’m also glad that they both weathered the storms together. Much respect to their friends for looking out too.
Smile is always gonna be in anyone's 90s playlist. It's For You is another favorite banger too from the Meteor Man soundtrack. Glad she and her family are doing well. High five to her and Flex.
She also recorded "If I Never Knew You", a duet with Jon Secada, which appeared in the end credits of the 1995 Disney animated film "Pocahontas", and she contributed background vocals to Toni Braxton's 1996 hit "Un-Break My Heart". She was dropped from LaFace after her 1999 self-titled album because she was uncomfortable with showing skin in the album's music videos, which many female urban artists of the time were doing in theirs.
The music industry needs to be regulated because so many artists like Shanice make the record company millions but end up with next to nothing and discarded all too often. The records contracts that many artists sign be so one sided beyond belief.
While I wholeheartedly agree, I must add that it should have always been regulated but due to greed and dishonesty and blatant disregard and disrespect for fellow humans, it and other industries with inevitably always be corrupt.
But the artists decide to sign the contract, no one makes them. It's a free market essentially. How much you earn and how you earn it is something you/your representation agrees to.
@@creating1_c1999 Fame is a drug, many artists have made, still do make, unsound decisions that they later regret while chasing fame. The record labels stay exploiting people and their talents for pennies on the dollar. These records labels are akin to modern day human traffickers.
I absolutely love Shanice. I love Flex. I love them together. They display love in it's purest form. I'm glad they were able to overcome everything they'd gone through.
I was 28 years old when I did the back ground vocals for Shanice I love your smile. Now I will be 60 years old this year fills good To still here it on the radio. My Daughter calls me and say daddy I here your song playing on the Radio. Lol
Shanice and Flex are the example of a marriage that truly stayed together through thick, thin and the ice broke. May Jesus keep blessing their family. 🙏🙏🙏
Mrs. Shanice is that underrated 90s sensation, she still has that beautiful voice, Flex & Shanice are a couple to be reckoned with.... I send love health wealth abundance and prosperity 👸🏽🧔🏽💛
Hats off to this King & Queen. There is nothing more powerful than hearing Our stories of Triumph. What Our struggle as a people is teaching us is that, We are Intentionally Created by The Most High, Survivors, & able to Conquer. 🙏🏿🤴🏾👸🏾🙌🏾
I love Shanice!! Such a beautiful,powerhouse,ethereal-sounding voice she has❤❤🎤🎶 “I Love Your Smile” & “Silent Prayer” (featuring Johnny Gill) are my favorite songs by her. I was very very disappointed when “Flex & Shanice” show was canceled. I was a big fan & watched it every Saturday night 🥹
I have always loved Shanice! Saving forever for you is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard! My wife and I had our wedding dance to that song! I love that the video is set at Beverly Hills high, and has Brian Austin Greene in the video! Great memories of my teen years n nostalgia
It's for you and when close my eyes are my favorites... she used ASL in the video field her deaf friend... I'm so proud of how her and felx stayed strong in hard Times 😊🙏🏾👏🏾
"When I Close My Eyes" is my favorite song by her and an underrated gem. Yes, it charted highly on the Billboard Hot 100, but that's one song I don't remember ever hearing in my childhood and I NEVER hear it played or mentioned. I actually discovered that entire album from her Unsung episode a few years ago. I didn't even realize her career started way back in 1987, but I will admit when I think about her in her prime, I get a late '80s/early '90s vibe, before even knowing she'd been out that long. Side Note: She was so cute and innocent looking as a young girl. She looks like she would've been a perfect fit for those perm kits with the little girls on them that you see in the hair stores.
"If I Never Knew You" with her and Jon Secada still slaps til this day. Her "Shanice" album is definitely underrated. I was so upset that they didn't release the video for Yesterday. Glad she posted the rough draft on her RUclips
Juicy pop always pops! Keep giving us great mini bios❤👏👏👏👏👏👍All of her music is dope but next to ILYS, I played Forever In Your Love and that Inner Child interlude so many times back then that I lost count. Her voice touches the soul sweetly and gently. Kudos to Shanice for surviving tough times💪🧘
Can't forget she also guest starred in the "Rock Enroll" episode of Family Matters. I was here for it when I saw it on demand and her and Darrius was good😮💨.
I love how this channel is a “where are they now” of my impressionable youth. I loved Shanice’s 1991 album, remember every song. Great to learn what came before and since. ❤
So many beautiful memories watching her grow up from the television 📺! I loved seeing her on Family Matters back in the day! “I love your smile” still gives me tingles till this very day!😊 I wish her and her family nothing but the best!
Shanice, Flex and their kids are Royal by DNA. They are in my bloodline. I am looking forward to seeing the incredible things this family does in the very near future.
Shanice should be a household name. She was part of one of the greatest periods of r&b music around 1986-1995. Sadly, she was mismanaged and suffered some great professional and personal blows but rose above to sustain a solid marriage.
Shanice's self-titled album was released on the same day as C-Murder's sophomore album Bossalinie and Harlem World's first and only album The Movement on March 9th 1999
“I Love Your Smile” perfectly encapsulates 90s music for me…my mom listened to a radio station that regularly played it, and it takes me right back to being a kid❤️
I feel as though Shanice and Michel'le are two of the most underrated singers! With their vocals, style, and presence they should have been as big as Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston (R.I.P.). Thanks for this video. Your documentaries are always great.
I hated they kept putting her on the back burner. My mom had gone to an industry event in 96 and they said they wouldn't keep her on the back burner but they did. It was heartbreaking to me because fun fact we knew each other in Junior High School.
She probably wouldn't play the game they want you to play. The ones who succeed aren't about talent. They might have talent but did something to stay on top. Same thing with acting industry
She does have a beautiful smile. I still randomly sing 🎶I LOVE YOUR SMILEEEEE🎶 and my all time favourite 🎶SAVING FOREVERRRRRRR FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, baby🎶 😂
I like your videos. Have you made a video about Tracie Spencer? She and Shanice were so talented. They deserved better than what the industry did to them.
Yeahhh I only know 2 songs by her!! But they both still banger tracks til this very day!! 💪🏾💪🏾💖💯....I never knew about the commercial neither lol, but I see she carried on all the "do do's" from it over to I love your smile!! 🤭🤭🤗🤗😍😍🤣🤣 Cute!! When I close my eyes was my other iisshh from her growing up!! 🥰🥰💃🏾💃🏾💖💯

Yes! I love to hear marriages lasting and getting thru hardships!
@@laurenreneebrittany1797 same here, so happy for them 🎉😊❤

I love their story❤
For people who are use to a certain standard of life, then have the bank account dry up, that's often a deal breaker. But these two cling to each other even through the pauper stages - o, yeah, that's REAL love.
Shanice deserves more credit and she also deserves her flowers while she's still here

Yep, you're absolutely right, they cared MORE about the talent than the image back then, but now they care MORE about the image than the talent which is REALLY😢💯
ABSOLUTELY TRUE!
And they are just handing out American Music Awards to anybody...
I 1000% agree with you!
Agreed. That's why I root for them to get paid. Especially athletes.
Shanice is a generational talent. "I Love Your Smile" is a classic. "Silent Prayer" is simply beautiful. "It's For You" is an underrated banger.
Don't forget Saving Forever For You.
Yes
Yes Silent prayer her and Johnny Gill did that
@@TheRetroWoman80 Yes That's a great song.

so very true...the thing that was amiss here is their faith, they were committed to God and the promise they made to each other
That’s why I can’t fuck wit it again. You can’t afford to hold nobody’s daughter back

I Love Your Smile is a timeless classic song
Come on now, that song is horrible
I like to play it on the flute.
Still love it!!
Yes I hate that song 😩 I’m sorry
Shanice's smile is so beautiful.
Props to Martin Lawrence. Dude went in clutch to help his friends in their time of need.

I absolutely love Shanice. I love Flex. I love them together. They display love in it's purest form. I'm glad they were able to overcome everything they'd gone through.

Shanice is a legend
Her and Flex Alexander are a cute couple. I love your smile is still a bop 👏🏾.
It’s a shame that her career didn’t go as planned. Shanice is truly talented and her voice is amazing!
Shanice and Flex are the example of a marriage that truly stayed together through thick, thin and the ice broke. May Jesus keep blessing their family. 🙏🙏🙏
Shanice's Inner Child album was released on the same day as Tevin Campbell's debut album T.E.V.I.N. on November 19th 1991
Shanice and her husband are so cute together! 🥰

Mrs Alexander or Mrs. Wilson
I've always been a fan. "It's For You" and "Turn Down The Lights" are both underrated gems.
I still remember her Star Search performance of "Rainbow." Gave me goosebumps as a kid!
Yes yes yes
Its For You was everything to me as a youngster. Still absolutely adore that song. Still smile, dance and do all the moves. ❤
I love her song, Saving Forever For You. It’s so beautiful!
She also is very gorgeous! Love her smile
It’s crazy how no matter how much I listen to I love your smile it just makes me smile from ear to ear something about it makes me happy
Without thinking twice, Shanice is the most underrated singer ever.
Hats off to this King & Queen. There is nothing more powerful than hearing Our stories of Triumph. What Our struggle as a people is teaching us is that, We are Intentionally Created by The Most High, Survivors, & able to Conquer. 🙏🏿🤴🏾👸🏾🙌🏾
Another great profile piece my sister. Shanice is a truly underated talent. Keep up the blessed work and have a great weekend!

Oh indeed. They killed that song.
My favorite song
Shanice, and Flex
have always carried

One of my favorite childhood artists ❤
Shanice's second album Inner Child is a classic
I love the song "forever in your love" it has a special energy, plus his voice sounds too powerful in that song
PITTSBURGH'S OWN! WE NEVER STOP! LETS GO BABY!
Shanice's Inner Child album was released on November 19th 1991 a week after 2Pac's debut album 2Pacalypse Now
I Love Your Smile was such a solid song. Glad she and Flex are still together
I remember her from Star Search, I love her and Flex, we have to save for the rainy days. Glad they are together and caring for each other.❤️❤️
Record companies are no less than slithering snakes 🐍
Love Shanice 👑✨🌟☀️🎤🎶🏆🏆🏆♥️
I remember that commercial very well.
The Label should have allowed her to sing more pop songs like “i love your smile”, pop songs is where she excelled 😢
I loved her when she was on the Apollo. This is back in 1988.
Nice friends who stepped in to help. Their marriage is so strong look what all they have faced and still standing strong 💪 ❤
You never hear anything problematic about them, what a BEAUTIFUL couple! #BLACKL❤VE

“I Love Your Smile” perfectly encapsulates 90s music for me…my mom listened to a radio station that regularly played it, and it takes me right back to being a kid❤️
Now that's a true power couple, staying together for better and for worst. I'm telling you 90's couples are way stronger then couples nowadays.
It’s for you is a bop I keep in regular rotation
It's pretty awesome how they went through all that and didn't break their marriage up.
Shanice is such a Beautiful soul❤😍
I had no idea who this was, glad I watched ❤
Shanice still has a great smile 😀 and her song I love your smile reminds me of my early teenage years
Well done Shanice,
And Congrats on your comeback👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏽💕
I never knew any of this. It’s good to see them doing well
Black strong love can overcome any obstacle ❤❤❤❤..I love the fact they never gave up on one another
"Silent Prayer" and "This Time" two underrated great songs.
