I too met Michelle - Spent a week with her on a cruise liner I used to work on about 9 years ago. She was onboard as a Guest Lecturer. What a LOVELY woman! So genuine and authentic. She also told me "Never sell your publishing rights."
**You'd think 'Macca' would know better...but he didn't! ( **all that shit from old-days left no memory at all of "How-to be one-half of the best-selling songwriting team in history...and still 'get fucked from ass-hole to breakfast' in Royalties"**
An iconic song! These ladies have made an amazing tribute to their parents. Love it! The harmonies are amazing from the original and now theirs. Thank you ladies..
No, they haven´t. I would like to love them but face it. This is horrific. No harmony here, no feeling, even the melody is one heck of a mess. Where´s the talent really? Ears are bleeding, sorry.
MIchelle is aging naturally unlike many other actresses sporting the joker grin and wearing wigs shes letting nature take its course. Good for her. Still a HUGE talent and the nicest lady if you get to meet her (i have twice).
Ethan Alfaro Michelle Phillips was pretty, but she was never gorgeous. I was looking at pictures of her recently, and frankly I thought she was rather plain looking. You would be hard-pressed to say she was classically beautiful. Be that as it may she was very cute, and some would say “pretty”. Now her daughter, China Phillips is a knockout. High cheekbones, slim figure, she was/is a beauty.
Please can someone tell me why most of these women love that Joker Grin and allergic reaction face. And how do men or women Actually want to have Sez with them. Are they attracted to the Joker ?? Lol.
When DENNY PASSED She flew into Halifax, N.S. , taxi'ed to the Hotel and attended His SERVICE the next day. No FAN FAIR, NO SHOW or HOOPLA. Just RESPECT. Flew out to California the next day. GREAT LADY.........!
I have to admit,sometimes when I'm sitting in my tree stand,waiting for the monster buck,i quietly sing California dreaming,while I'm freezing in new York👍🤗😚🇺🇸
I wonder if all those beautiful girls that are watching Michelle now, know that at her time she was thousand of times more beautiful than any other girl there
I love that these beautiful girls, now a bit older, had to grow up in the middle of such drug laced surroundings, and not only did they survive, they found each other and made a living for themselves singing some wonderfu original songs but were able to sing some oldies for us also with and without a good sound system, having fun always. I love their energy and no one seems bothered between the women... they seem very tight with each other. God bless them and keep them thriving!
Coming from someone who loves AC/DC and slade I love the mamas and papas and California Dreaming is an all time classic , this did it no justice at all 🙄
Barry's music was BREATHTAKING. The songs exuded such positivity, heartwarming, love, made me feel so good when they came out. Im 63 now, so i was there for all his hits. Not sure how else you can say it. His music is poetry in motion ❤
This is very Inspiring, since it is keeping the Song Alive, might make to be a Classic in Time. Reminds when I was young, in the middle of a Snow blizzard, waiting for Summer to return!
I Love you CHYNNA, WENDY, CARNEY!! You are all Great Singers and have Natural Beauty!! And MICHELLE, you are very Pretty, and Beautiful!! I am a fan of WILSON-PHILLIPS, BEACH BOYS, and THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS 4ever!!!
I was reading all the negative reviews about the singing, but I quickly realized that the acoustics and the recording were bad. I've heard Wilson Phillips sing this song before and their cover is pretty good considering it's hard to do a good cover of The Mamas & The Papas' song.
@@snowlinewest1321 Well, coming from a former choir director I always advocated playing to strengths. She has a very good voice but is extremely high pitched and probably a bit of a showboat but a little attitude adjustment sometimes worked to get a singer in the range they needed to be esp in a 3 part harmony. I think her pitch overtakes her sometimes and she often tries to rise above the other two. As the high harmony she needs to be only 3 octaves above Wendy but she is often around 5 above. That's probably why she sounds agrivating to you. But when your at her level, I'm sure she could care less what we think about her. There's plenty of fans who love her plus her heritage does a lot for her. I had to deal with my share of diva's back in the day.
Well, with the advent of the internet-comment-section, human's have become compelled to air their negative opinions (which is really quite revealing). Obviously they won't go away, as it gains them the attention they require, so try to ignore them. :-) Good luck!
It´s easy if you just know how to do it and everyone keeps his/her own part. But if you are just pair of bimbos, then result is flat shit like this one.
This song is more suited for Carnie to sing lead with Wendy & Chynna on backing vocals....Though I understand it was a small venue and Chynna's mama introduced the song so that is probably why they let her daughter sing lead.
Im a musician, songwriter, producer of hard rock music and the Mamas and papas never get old. their intricate vocal harmony's and passages have blown me away since I was a child. This particular version however im not to impressed with but I still admire the lovely lady's for their talent.
*How very nice was to hear such a nice singing of Mamas & Papas their FLAG song, of being performed live on stage by much younger "Wilson Phillips" band singers, together with a live band. That was kinda real beauty !!!! Moreover, I have to admit, that the blond lady the LEAD singer (Michelle's daughter Chynna Phillips Baldwin) ... she is woman of my type of how she looks like, and how she sings like, as well !!!! Oh, boy !! Oh boy !!* .... *Actually - oh, girl !!!!* :o)) *I had to watch this video for a couple of times ... and just couldn't stop listening to her singing, and observing to her body movement. YO !!!! This performance took place a 10 years ago .... I do not care that much about those 10 years, honestly !!!!* :o)
Give a listen to "Foxes and Fossils" covering MAMA & PAPA songs. I'm sorry to say that the best part of this video was Michelle. After her I cringed. Thank You Michelle.
@@majadito1985 Foxes and Fossils cover Monday Monday & Dedicated to the One I Love. Hoping they will cover California Dreaming next. Only Band that can do Justice to Mama & Papa's. Have you listened to their playlist? If not please do so, you're in for a treat. Tell me if you agree/disagree. PS In my minds eye I can hear F&F California Dreaming.
Hotel Earle is now the Washington Square Hotel. It’s rooms are tiny but it’s a cool place to stay downtown and the history, like the writing of California Dreamin happening there, is pretty cool
I think this song can never be topped because the original was perfect. But I love the harmony of the wilson's and I love chynnas energy and style. She looks stunning. I think he's voice is amazing and she did a good job considering what I said...nothing can beat the perfection of the original but it's a tribute to her parents so it should be judged on that also and this was sweet of them to get up there and do it!!
@@Victoria-ni3tf Lol! The Bible has been solidly, irrefutably proved true by history, science, and archaeology. Calling it a fairy tale is an act of mental illness. It's like saying WWII never happened and is just a "right wing conspiracy theory."
Once again, Wilson Phillips has proven that they can still perform well after all this time. Also, I think that people should stop comparing them to their famous parents. I think that's uncalled for and a disgrace.
Mama's and Papa's were ground breaking. When I see this you know they are there because of their parents. There's really no way they could have made it besides that. Chyna is hot though.
Hey! Who cut out the amazing guitar player way over on the left??? Also, its always amazing to see Michelle Philips explain how the song evolved, and... don't forget, she wrote the 2nd verse (and still gets $$$ royaltie$ today for it!)

Being the children of great singers HAS NO BEARING ON YOUR ABILITIES
I think Michelle was stunning in the 60s even in 1998 when they went in the hall of fame she was beautiful. A natural beauty.
Always loved her.
Who knew in 2021 we would have CHYNNA hosting CALIFORNIA PREACHIN YT CHANNEL. Love ❤️ her & her Christian channel. Love CALIFORNIA PREACHIN.

They are very terrific usually. The sound here is off.
ONly one of them the other 2 are Wilsons from the Beach Boys. Different bands.
I read your mean comment! I said parents.. I know they came from the mamas and papas as well as the beach boys..
MIchelle is aging naturally unlike many other actresses sporting the joker grin and wearing wigs shes letting nature take its course. Good for her. Still a HUGE talent and the nicest lady if you get to meet her (i have twice).

I really wanted Michelle to sing with them!!!
Not you don't. She really cannot sing and neither can the Wilson sisters.
Loved the Mamas + Papas
That California Dreaming was my 1st song I loved, back in junior high
Great memories of that era 💒✝️
I have to admit,sometimes when I'm sitting in my tree stand,waiting for the monster buck,i quietly sing California dreaming,while I'm freezing in new York👍🤗😚🇺🇸
I wonder if all those beautiful girls that are watching Michelle now, know that at her time she was thousand of times more beautiful than any other girl there
I think her daughter Chynna is just beautiful.
She was ugly on the inside though. Cheating with a married man and telling his wife to get lost, then cheating on him with Denny. Ug-ly.
Yes Chynna is very beautiful
And she was quite the Ho too.
I love that these beautiful girls, now a bit older, had to grow up in the middle of such drug laced surroundings, and not only did they survive, they found each other and made a living for themselves singing some wonderfu original songs but were able to sing some oldies for us also with and without a good sound system, having fun always.

Ohhhh nooooo, should have let Michele sing it!!!!
She should have…. I don’t want to say more about it, but…. Definitely.
Coming from someone who loves AC/DC and slade I love the mamas and papas and California Dreaming is an all time classic , this did it no justice at all 🙄
I hope to look as good as Michelle does at her age ~ she & The Mamas & The Papas are forever classic!
If you don't look that good now then..... there's not going to be a miracle! (In jest).
Plastic surgery is all it takes.
I grew up with bands and parties like this in the San Fernando Valley. The 60s and early 70s were a kick.
Barry's music was BREATHTAKING. The songs exuded such positivity, heartwarming, love, made me feel so good when they came out. Im 63 now, so i was there for all his hits. Not sure how else you can say it. His music is poetry in motion ❤

No need for the rude comments. This song was a Mamas and Papas classic. Nobody can compare to Denny on vocals
Listen to Barry McGuire original version with the same backing track. Amazing!
So beautiful! Always loved these girls!
None of them can sing as well as Cass and Denny together. I wish Owen would sing. She's amazing.
not too many could at the time and Denny was one the most underated singers of his day and i think under appreciated!Not like this ummm trio!
No body sings like Cass and Denny give it up guys
They've all had nice careers. I'm sure that they would agree with you.
I’m so glad I found this video. I love Wilson Phillips & this song😮✌🏼
I love this song..Thank you Michelle for being the first person to sing this but Chynna is doing you proud..I love you both X X 💛
I Love you CHYNNA, WENDY, CARNEY!! You are all Great Singers and have Natural Beauty!! And MICHELLE, you are very Pretty, and Beautiful!! I am a fan of WILSON-PHILLIPS, BEACH BOYS, and THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS 4ever!!!
Do you have hearing problems? That singing is terrible.
Music royalty right there.
Wilson Philips: so great. The talent from her parents.❤
“Their” parents. Carnie and Wendy Wilson are daughters of Beach Boy Brian Wilson. Chyna Phillips is the daughter of John Phillips.
All you beautiful women singing with joy and heart. I love you all.💕💖
Thank you John !!!! What a beautiful woman is Michelle !!!
The Mamas & The Papas were awesome four talented singers
How many moved to Cali after this song came out. Beautiful.
This was an outdoor concert in a small venue at a hotel. The sound system was not the best to say the least. They sounded much better in person.
I was reading all the negative reviews about the singing, but I quickly realized that the acoustics and the recording were bad. I've heard Wilson Phillips sing this song before and their cover is pretty good considering it's hard to do a good cover of The Mamas & The Papas' song.
Chyna can sing but not so sure about Carnie and Wendy!
They yell. They don't sing. Their voices are weak. Cass could sing that without a microphone.
Sounds awful x
@@marymagdalene3004 Chynna is the better singer of the three, but Carnie was good in their cover of Good Vibrations.
Carnie Wilson holds them low notes down. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
She's got a great voice!
Autotune. She cannot sing.
That's cool that you get to meet someone like that and they turn out to be genuine. :)
Makes you appreciate what a good singer Denny was
Thank you! Finally someone realizes how great Denny was. Everyone seems to forget him despite he being the main lead. Denny was a fantastic singer.
Thank you! Finally someone realizes how great Denny was. Everyone seems to forget him despite he being the main lead. Denny was a fantastic singer.
Chris Harley Yes, Denny was the best - after I found out it was he who sang lead. Sorry for this, but as a kid, I thought John Phillips sang lead.
Denny was amazing but I rather Cass
I love how he sings the second verse. this group was put together perfectly. not even Wilson Phillips can match it.
Yes talent going down the generations and not the scandal!!!!
Love this song and love you all
Michelle was the outstanding beauty of her day and Chynna is also very beautiful
This is one of the best song ever. The best performance was made by Mamas and Papas.
I have great respect for ANY band singing 3 part harmony.
Like 3 dog night
You gotta settle for two part here...the Wilsons SO outclass Phillips who couldn't harmonize if her life depended on it.
@@snowlinewest1321 True, I think Chynna is more of a lead than a harmonizer but a truly great voice anyway you look at it. My opinion.
@@ashleyreid1778 I respect your opinion but she just leaves a bad taste in my mouth on many fronts....perhaps that is why she sounds so bad to me :-)
@@snowlinewest1321 Well, coming from a former choir director I always advocated playing to strengths.

Michelle guest starred on Star Trek Next Generation in 1988. She was absolutely Stunning as a former Love of Capt Picard
What was the episode titled
@@thewheelchairgamer3441 Actually, in STNG first season (1988) "We'll Always Have Paris" as Jenice Manheim.
Michelle meant that she wrote the second verse.
The flute is the song!!!!! well and of course, Mama Cass
+ Denny on 2nd verse
ALL 3 OF THESE GALS ARE SURVIVORS,,,,GOD BLESS THEM
Love Wilson Phillips...they got their parents talent...a generation of singers 😊
@@normanbydave5796 Yes the talent skipped their generation completely.
So cool to hear this version of the classic hit!!
shame on all the haters. These ladies did wonderful things on their own and in honor of their Parents. Enough said.
vinny932 ; I agree
I don't hate them, they just suck
Well, with the advent of the internet-comment-section, human's have become compelled to air their negative opinions (which is really quite revealing).
Obviously they won't go away, as it gains them the attention they require, so try to ignore them.

Good luck!
Love it!
no one can sing this song like the Mamas & Papas!
Wendy is the still the hottest. She's hardly aged a bit!!
Yeah she is. The one one the left in the green!
I had such a crush on Wendy
They did a great job live. Not an easy song sing.
It´s easy if you just know how to do it and everyone keeps his/her own part. But if you are just pair of bimbos, then result is flat shit like this one.
This song is more suited for Carnie to sing lead with Wendy & Chynna on backing vocals....Though I understand it was a small venue and Chynna's mama introduced the song so that is probably why they let her daughter sing lead.
Cass was the talent Michele was 12 lol
Beautiful ladies and beautiful harmony.
I think she looks great and she has good spirits amazing after all she has been through nice job on the song
Best music ever, we will never forget, my parents were fans of the mamas and papas in the 60ies, greetings from Austria, Europe.
Im a musician, songwriter, producer of hard rock music and the Mamas and papas never get old. their intricate vocal harmony's and passages have blown me away since I was a child. This particular version however im not to impressed with but I still admire the lovely lady's for their talent.
