That horn arrangement was on point. Didn’t realize until the end that Arsenio’s house band was playing with them as well. Nothing like true musicianship backing some powerful vocals.
The harmonies!!!!! Freakishly perfect!!! Terry at the beginning-the control she has for her intro! Their choreography is so on point!! The outfit!!! This group is stellar!!
The talent and voices make up for the fully dressed...that's how it was in the past...this new generation is the opposite the more rachet the better with no talent..
I'm sorry, but no other "girl group" has been able to touch the Funky DIVAS. They brought EVERYTHING to the music business. Class, style, grace and the vocals and harmonies. Unmatched!!
@@awesomestar7597 you must be on crack. They all sung lead on different songs that became hits.. that right there says enough. Junes diary were talented but that group didn’t even see a pebble of the success EV had 😂😂
Wow! They was real good! All of this was live too! They sung everything and danced without a problem like how people used to do. Not very many groups other than k-pop groups have all of the people in the group do everything good. Wow!
That’s true sexiness when a woman can look hot in baggy pants, blouse, jacket and no heels. The moves are simple yet sexy, with beautiful powerful voices. I was in love with all of them!😍
The nerve of having banging bodies, supermodel looks but wearing XL looks with flat shoes! No leotards and Wind machines, no frontlace, no bullshit talks of emancipation Just walking the walk - on the talent side!
Funny hearing Arsenio say “See, there are still people who can sing in the business” back then! I think this is officially my favorite “Hold On” performance. The choreo, the vocals and the band, everything was perfect 🔥🔥🔥
Wrong as hell. Josephine Baker would perform completely naked and it was respected because a Black woman couldn't be presented as sexy and desirable like white women could. Oh yeah and this was in the fucking 1920s. It really bothers me when people want to say En Vogue was great cause they didn't try to be sexy. Like wtf did everyone forget Free Your Mind when they tell you no to judge a woman as a slut by what she wears? "I wear tight clothing high heel shoes doesn't mean I'm a prostitute"
Please find a way to work together again ladies. Love Roda ( sorry if I misspelled her name) but , I would still love to see the original 4 on tour together
Terry was my favorite & Cynthia. A lot of people talk about Dawn but they first song came by way of Terry & Cindy. They all sing the ass off all of them but I like Terry. She has very strong vocals like Dawn & these ladies didn’t just sing they SANG for real for real

Nope I was the Music Director for the girls it was all the band you see on stage. No Extras
The harmonies!!!!! Freakishly perfect!!! Terry at the beginning-the control she has for her intro!
Their choreography is so on point!! The outfit!!! This group is stellar!!
The ultimate girl band....Unequaled and unsurpassed ;)
Like the Supremes these young ladies made musical history with their songs and stage presence.
Wow people in the past could be fully dressed and still be entertaining...... AMAZING.
Tony Mcneil and sexy
It’s the music industry fault. 👿👿👿👿👿👿
Hahaha
Yes you couldn't come out half dressed and not know how to sing people would laught sneer boo you off the stage.this ladies was the total package
The talent and voices make up for the fully dressed...that's how it was in the past...this new generation is the opposite the more rachet the better with no talent..
I'm shedding tears because I fear that I may never get to see these ladies the original EnVogue live now that they broke up and mad at each other 😕☹️😭
Maxine just knew she was about to kill the scene with that turn at 3:09 lol..
Her modeling took OVER! You couldn't tell her she wasn't the choreographer. Lol.
Her modeling took OVER! You couldn't tell her she wasn't the choreographer. Lol.
ROFL!!! You took crack me up! I read your comments and had to see what you were referring to, so I went to the time stamp, and....lol.
Fierce! The Blue Steel look!!
I got to see them in 1990 at Arco Arena with MC Hammer. They were so amazing, I don’t even remember MC Hammer’s performance.
😲😲😲😲🤯🤯🤯
Was that also the show with troop and After 7
I'm sorry, but no other "girl group" has been able to touch the Funky DIVAS. They brought EVERYTHING to the music business. Class, style, grace and the vocals and harmonies. Unmatched!!
They were but they all can’t sing lead. Xscape vocally are stronger and June’s diary
Thank you no one can hold a candle to En Vogue
@@awesomestar7597 you must be on crack. They all sung lead on different songs that became hits.. that right there says enough. Junes diary were talented but that group didn’t even see a pebble of the success EV had 😂😂
what are you apologizing for?? It is what it is lol
Brownstone definitely did. Just 3 women sounding like an entire choir
I enjoyed this performance because the classy dancing told the story of the song. How often do you see that today?
They vocals was sick!
my favorite group was envogue. Still is....
THESE GIRLS ARE SANGINGGGGG!!!!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOWIE NOW THAT IS SAAAANGIN!!!
Them girls was baaaaaad!!!!! 🔥
They killed it band and all........
Those outfits are sharp as hell and the voices, dance moves and song are all on POINT :-)
Wow! They was real good! All of this was live too! They sung everything and danced without a problem like how people used to do. Not very many groups other than k-pop groups have all of the people in the group do everything good. Wow!
Kpop got it from black people. We still dance and play jnstruments and sing at the same time. Kpop is BLACK MUSIC done by asians.
Omg. I remember this performance. I was super young,
That’s true sexiness when a woman can look hot in baggy pants, blouse, jacket and no heels. The moves are simple yet sexy, with beautiful powerful voices. I was in love with all of them!😍
Yes LAWD!!! AMAZING!!!
THAT INTRO THO!!😱😱😱 YYYAASSS LADIES!! YOU ARE MISSED!!

The nerve of having banging bodies, supermodel looks but wearing XL looks with flat shoes!
No leotards and Wind machines, no frontlace, no bullshit talks of emancipation
Just walking the walk - on the talent side!

Funny hearing Arsenio say “See, there are still people who can sing in the business” back then!
I think this is officially my favorite “Hold On” performance. The choreo, the vocals and the band, everything was perfect 🔥🔥🔥
I love whoever choreographed this song, they kill it every time, as they do all their choreo
Choreo: Frank Gaston (worked w/ DC & Beyonce later in his career.
Their performance on Apollo of this was pretty damn good too!

Great comment!!
Envogue were very sexy and on purpose
Exactly envogue definitely dressed sexy. This was just a part of the style back then. They also wore form fitting dresses
Please find a way to work together again ladies. Love Roda ( sorry if I misspelled her name) but , I would still love to see the original 4 on tour together
Rhona...we knew what you meant!😁
what year is this
Hayyy it's 1988 I believe
Hayyy 1990
Did they steal these outfits from New Edition? 🤣🤣🤣
This is the year wear women were know and respected for their talent instead of gyrating half naked on the stage.
That hair lol
Playing games
They are so cooked here. Looks like they were hanging out on the equator
Harmony not this non singing no talent music you hear today with this tone Def generation
I hated these outfits lol 😂
They were much darker skinned here, interesting
Portishead Biscuit bad lighting
Lighting
Lighting and an old tape
