..This is one of those tracks that your 40-50 year old self hears and then immediately rediscovers the same dance moves & flexibility you had 30 years ago.
"Criticize" is a splendid example of 1980s pop music. The song has everything a hit of that era should have - energy, a dance groove, a powerful vocal, and infectious positivity. Even after so many years, it has retained its charm and still manages to get people on the dance floors.
im 14 years old and i absolutely love this song, im so glad my dad brought me up with this era of music. i know no one my age that knows this song so i feel proud.
This song is so GOOD and fits today's relationships.I had an ex-fiancee who criticised me all the time when I lived in Philly,so,I left the relationship and joined the army. LOL. Was so much HAPPIER being a single man again !!!! LOL.
Summer 1986...Cruising through the streets of New Castle Pennsylvania listening to this music on a cassette tape in my emerald green Ford LTD coupe. Great memories! Blasting it loud for everyone to hear ❤
you were in the same area i was at that time. Also, i was a Hersey Park, Pennsylvania a year later, the summer of 1987 when i heard this song the second time.

Its Soul
And their range of electronics for production, from synth to old school cassio, You can hear that difference, and it's so sublime.
Great song😍, Especially the extended version
Really well said. This song has stayed with me for years.
im 14 years old and i absolutely love this song, im so glad my dad brought me up with this era of music. i know no one my age that knows this song so i feel proud.

Class crosses Time&Space!

My kids are 17 and 19 and they grew up listening to 80s music..have it on their play list
GTA IV Brought Me Here.
Best song of the 80's
That intro is so 🔥
This song is so GOOD and fits today's relationships.I had an ex-fiancee who criticised me all the time when I lived in Philly,so,I left the relationship and joined the army. LOL. Was so much HAPPIER being a single man again !!!! LOL.
From 3:35 till 4:06 complete and utter eargasm. Hardly ever heard such devine piece of harmony. Still have the album on vinyl.
I know what you mean. Pure ecstasy!
🔥❤️
Yeeeees
808 cowbell.
Deep delicious groove x
All the 12 inch vinyls of Alex's singles were absolutely great.
Alexander has always been my favorite singer! Every song he sang was a gem. This one is a song you can listen to on repeat like 100 times
Real Talk!!
Same here
Background vocals love this 🔥🔥🔥
It’s the amazing Lisa Keith
😮❤
My favorite song from Alexander 🎵
I saw him and Sharell in 1987 with Ready For The World hell yeah what a Blessed Brotha Much Love Alex .
Alexander O'Neal Criticize 1987 is one of my hippiest and until now it's the most danceable
AGREED. But,it also has a good message that's still relevant for today's society. You can-DRIVE-your loved away by constantly criticizing them.
bought this album while stationed in Misawa Japan. loved it and still love it!
I love Alexander O'Neal so much. I love this remix. We used to sing this at work when the manager left the office. 🤣
I love this track.

Only to be ruined by a phone call from my cousin, asking to go play bowling.
It was a top tune for my dad rip mate
I love the Chorus 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Spotify removed this version and the original version. I am completely gutted over that asinine decision. The original and remix are both so amazing.
It’s ashamed ):
But they want you to use their service....yeah right. They must be losing the licenses, and if so then that is a sign of service quality and variety going down hill.
It’s back now
Bro, just please consider owning the CD, you can have the song forever, rip it to any device you own.
Lisa Keith sings backround on this, I never knew that.
