    BJ is a true musician. I just watched his NPR tiny desk performance and he is so generous with the musicians that accompany him. I have seen other artists perform with musicians and not let them shine. Not BJ. He is amazing. And that voice matches his character.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

    • @rmiller9969
      @rmiller9969 7 лет назад +34

      NUBNSUN well the Jaheim song was a sample from about 30 years earlier donut wasn't his either. The guitarist is just using a similar progression and the progression he's using here isn't even the same one that Backstreet uses but it still works. The guitarist is out of this world amazing.

    Mad respect to BJ for giving Jeff V. some space to "talk to 'em a lil' bit," knowing damn well Jeff's playing could possibly outshine his vocals in the minds of some. (Not that it's a competition between them.) It takes a secure & supportive artist to share their stage with the "backup" talent the way BJ did here. Shout-out to both of these cats for being hella dope at what they do. This isn't just musicianship; it's musical partnership. Big up oonu self!

    Lately, I've been thinking something's going wrong
    'Cause you got an attitude
    And you're not in the mood like you used to
    Girl, I can feel it when I hold you in my arms
    The feeling is not the same
    Can I be the one to blame?
    2-I don't want to lose your love, mmm
    I don't want to say bye-bye, oh no no
    True love is so hard to find
    And it's right between your lips and mine, and mine
    Before I let you go, before I let you go
    Can I get a kiss, goodnight, baby (2)
    Baby
    Turn the lights down low
    Let's take it nice and slow
    My mission is to keep you…
