Tevin in my opinion is one of the greatest singers who ever lived.Calling him just a R&b singer is an understatement,his voice is so rare, so smooth,so rich and so warm,that it feeds the soul.Tevin is a R&b icon and there will never be another Tevin Campbell.Absolutely love your music Tevin.You are my role model , much love to you and God bless you in everything you choose to persue.
It's almost eerie the amount of Whitney I hear and see in him. Even how he looks intently into the camera, hunches his shoulders etc. I don't even think he's trying to imitate her. They were such effortless singers in their prime! Sheesh..
Wow. He is so amazing and sung this perfectly. Such a powerful voice. Al and Kyle West did their thing on producing and writing this song. Al B.'s signature all over it.!💯❗
Its crazy how he sounds like the male version of Whitney. He should do a song with some of her vocals on it to pay her homage. I wonder if he ever met her before
I agree with you Isaiah. People hold Whitney in such high regard that the mere thought of comparing someone to her is unheard of. But Tevin is most definitely the male equivalent to her VOCALLY. There’s no way around that. You can here it here in this performance. In songs like Don’t Say Goodbye Girl, Look What We’d Have, etc. A vocal powerhouse.
actually he is nowhere near Whitney. He just has certain inflections that sound similar to hers and similar tones that are a little lower on notes compared to her, that's it. He actually did sang a song of her, the greatest love of all and it was clear he wasn't on her level. Folks love to devalue Whitney's vocals by comparing others to her as if her live vocals are easily duplicated. He is literally shouting in certain places where Whitney would've been belting. Plus the band was overpowering him. Whitney has literally overpowered whole orchestras without even using all her voice. Let Whitney rest and stop comparing folks to her.
In my estimation, Tevin is Tevin and Whitney is Whitney, ever since someone started comparing him to Whitney that's all you keep on hearing even to this day, so naturally once that got out there, lots of people jumped on the Tevin Campbell sounds just like Whitney Houston or he could be her son bandwagon. Yes he has sang a couple of songs, putting a lot of the Whitney influence in them , ( example, The Greatest Love Of All , and the Christmas song, Do you Hear What I Hear) plus he recently admitted that he did absolutely everything the Whitney Houston style by way of singing, and he admitted that he does love her and her music, but to me , I'm just hearing Tevin Campbell, and for her that is a huge compliment , and I have heard others sing similar to her, trying to copy her but in their own voices but I just give them credit because they can sing, but this Tevin/ Whitney stuff , well I guess I just see and hear something different, no I'm not tone deaf or anything but like I've always said Tevin Campbell is himself, both he and Whitney are top notch vocalists but I just get a little tired of hearing, Tevin Campbell is the male version of Whitney Houston but everyone to their own opinion and I wholeheartedly respect that most assuredly
This kid was the truth!!! The best in recent times! I agree that his style is "Male Whitney." And he was capable. No one else can say that and be telling the truth! Only Tevin! Period! He was that good!
Never thought anyone could ever come close to singing a Tevin Campbell song, boy was I wrong, take a listen to Wanya Morris sons Wanmor, they bodied & stamped it, especially yh he youngest one Reco!!!!
Rocco* yea those youngsters are great. Chulo is almost flawless compared to the other 2, but Tevin, on that "THE END!!" Run though, Rocco couldn't even reach lol
I remember this appearance well and just LOVE how age-appropriate the lyrics were for Tevin - at teenager at the time. Always was a wonderful singer from his childhood. This was one of my very favorite songs as a young, professional adult in Hotlanta in the early 90s.💟☮️🙋🏽
Sang, bae. You are all right w/ me, Tevin. It just hit me.....I didn't realize how much I miss yo' singing, Tevin. Here we are in 2017, desperately wanting this type of music/singing back. Pero anyway, great performance.
I love this song so much and this performance is more than just "great" words can't describe it how talented Tevin is. His voice gives me the chills, phenomenal singer.
I remember him and usher coming up around the same time. this guy was a better singer. I don't think he ever cared enough to become a huge star but he could have
Tevin in my opinion is one the top three male R&B vocalists ever. The other two are Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway. Pure, natural vocalist. I see in the comments there are a lot of comparisons to Usher. Usher is the better all around entertainer. And he can sang his ass off. But Tevin is far better vocally. Usher still feels slighted by Tevin too. That’s why he has to always bring up that Can We Talk was supposedly his first. I don’t get why he has to bring that up. He clearly has had the better career, yet he still feels a certain type a way about Tevin having a better 90s career than him.
0:29 Tevin is serving Miss Whitney Houston on her version of "All The Man That I Need". The notes aren't quite the same but it's reminiscent of each other.
This is my first time seeing this particular video of Tevin's live performance on the Tonight Show. His vocals were insane! He was and still is extremely talented. Love this! ❤
This is my fav songs by Tevin. Luv luv luv it. Play it almost every day. Another great song by one sensational singer. Great job Tevin. Miss you and your great songs. Please come back and make great songs for us again. U were the bomb.
Lawd have mercy!! The feelings I had of the first time I saw that smile on BET Video Soul of video ''Tomorrow'' just comes back!! His voice mmmmm is out of this world! Love me some Tevin!
In my opinion old school R&B is the best and about the only person I know that still does It Old School Is My Bae the incredible Anthony Hamilton who is still doing it 20 years later😊😊😊😊
Tevin in my opinion is one of the greatest singers who ever lived.Calling him just a R&b singer is an understatement,his voice is so rare, so smooth,so rich and so warm,that it feeds the soul.Tevin is a R&b icon and there will never be another Tevin Campbell.Absolutely love your music Tevin.You are my role model , much love to you and God bless you in everything you choose to persue.
🥰
DUDE WAS BEFORE HIS TIME,,,,, ONE OF THE GREATEST VOICES EVER!
Yeah, some say being too early is worse than being too late. But with Tevin the best may be yet to come.
No auto tone or any voice enhancements....Tevin natural voice is magnificent💯
Great song . Al B Sure wrote this and Tevin sings the hell out of it .
Yes he did!!
the studio version is my favorite. Much nice lush and airry riffs. Not a lot of runs.
@@2008topshelf The album track has layers of amazing melodies and rhythms. The harmonies are like a wall of power. The whole track is its own world.
Yep and *Kyle West* (Al B. Sure's cousin) produced this record.
With K-C, JO JO and a young Sisqo singing BGV.
This record is still a smash!!
His voice at that age was INCREDIBLE.
He sang his face off! The first verse alone! Damn.
He makes singing look easy
This boy could sing anyone under the table back then and still can.
Here in 2024 ❤❤❤❤
He sings so effortlessly. He's Such a good singer.
How was he 15, 16 sangin like this?! Unreal!!!
More like 14. No joke!!
He's a teenager. With a full band - horns, bass player killing, 4 BGV...These new RnB boys could NEVER. Sang.Tevin🤌🏿💎🔥
It's almost eerie the amount of Whitney I hear and see in him. Even how he looks intently into the camera, hunches his shoulders etc. I don't even think he's trying to imitate her. They were such effortless singers in their prime! Sheesh..
Ikr. Like he is channeling her. He is trying not to go all out whitney on national tv
I was thinking the same thing
Omg YES!
Whitney jumped smooth out when he looked into that camera!!!
It’s so funny i was thinking of the similarities with him and brandy and that’s why lol
He just admitted on Uncensored that he imitated her!
One on the BEST R&B vocalist whom I have ever heard.
+Ramon LeBlanc Harts Agreed!!
+Ramon LeBlanc Harts I agree too!! He's bad!
Totally agree
I second that!
So true. Every time he sings live, he sounds exactly like his recording. True talent!
He was nervous in the beginning but when he got in the zone it was over Tevin all time legend
Tevin sung the SHIT outta that song!!!
Wow. He is so amazing and sung this perfectly. Such a powerful voice. Al and Kyle West did their thing on producing and writing this song.
Al B.'s signature all over it.!💯❗
"Kyle West break it down!"
This just shows how much R&B sucks now. Tevin is still the man.
darn right it sucks now
There is no R&B right now. There is just a bunch of dudes who wish they where rappers but didn’t quite make the cut
Does it even exist😯 sad
The Wanmor sings this now. They sound great as well but
It’s even worse now! 😢
His adlibs were amazing !! 💞
Yes
Its crazy how he sounds like the male version of Whitney. He should do a song with some of her vocals on it to pay her homage. I wonder if he ever met her before
I agree with you Isaiah. People hold Whitney in such high regard that the mere thought of comparing someone to her is unheard of. But Tevin is most definitely the male equivalent to her VOCALLY. There’s no way around that. You can here it here in this performance. In songs like Don’t Say Goodbye Girl, Look What We’d Have, etc. A vocal powerhouse.
He could have been the male Whitney easily!!
The industry is small, he definitely met her.
actually he is nowhere near Whitney. He just has certain inflections that sound similar to hers and similar tones that are a little lower on notes compared to her, that's it. He actually did sang a song of her, the greatest love of all and it was clear he wasn't on her level.

I can just visualize the sweet burning candle smell and his soft voice surrounding me after a warm bath....YES TEVIN!!!!!
Yes, Queen!!! That's the vibe I tried to give my lady friends, back in the day, when they would come over.
The Brass section is kicking butt!!!
Yes that horn in the beginning is everything.
I can Whitney Houston all in his voice....I can tell that's who he listened to coming up. This is my jam...I wish he had made a video for this song.
Blakmajik78 yes he was I was like sannnng boy✋✋😁😁
Even his hand movements and gestures.
Even the vocal runs are reminiscent of Auntie Whitney.... beautiful!.
I thought there was a video for this song already
Yes, he has Whitney’s mannerisms
The arrangement. Yes GAWD! Come on Tevin!
Girl copy that.
YESSSS
2:20 .....the phone.....Tevin's too smoooth!
Tevin sings good Kevin
That gotten to me, too! He was straight serenading them women, though!!
Even the look in his eyes....He was all the way there for it!
Tevin's LIVE version sounds better than the record. The band and the background singers gave a remarkable performance 🙌
Agreed
The live version is killing the original😢😢😢
This performance is so Whitney-coded omg!! Love it!! 🤯🔥🤞🏾✨
This kid was the truth!!! The best in recent times! I agree that his style is "Male Whitney." And he was capable. No one else can say that and be telling the truth! Only Tevin! Period! He was that good!

Yes! They did a phenomenal job. Love Tevin. ❤❤❤❤
Rocco* yea those youngsters are great. Chulo is almost flawless compared to the other 2, but Tevin, on that "THE END!!" Run though, Rocco couldn't even reach lol
Shidd
Nah man lol
I didn't enjoy it all. They should've chose another song.
He Sounds so good! I like the horn arrangements as well.
real talent NO audio tunes can't wait for his new CD to come out.
Come through background👐👐👐
Butter Cup Speak on it!!! 💯💯💯
Tevin killed it! True talent!
This version of the Tonight Show Band was super underrated
Bass player was killin!!
I remember this appearance well and just LOVE how age-appropriate the lyrics were for Tevin - at teenager at the time. Always was a wonderful singer from his childhood. This was one of my very favorite songs as a young, professional adult in Hotlanta in the early 90s.💟☮️🙋🏽
N TB he said he was 14 when he recorded shh break it down.
Tevin was 16 when I'm Ready was recorded.
Quincy made sure that Al and Kyle came correct for his baby boy!!!
Sang, bae. You are all right w/ me, Tevin. It just hit me.....I didn't realize how much I miss yo' singing, Tevin. Here we are in 2017, desperately wanting this type of music/singing back. Pero anyway, great performance.
Vocals like no other Tevin definitely is one in a million ❤
Like someone said about Ella Fitzgerald, “Talent like that comes around about once every 25 years.”
Y'all doing too much. He can sing thats it🙄
I love this song so much and this performance is more than just "great" words can't describe it how talented Tevin is. His voice gives me the chills, phenomenal singer.
I remember him and usher coming up around the same time. this guy was a better singer. I don't think he ever cared enough to become a huge star but he could have
Spot on... I agree
Alan Lee he cared ...he just has no personality..its easy to see why a teenage girl would choose Usher (who is also very talented)
He didn't care about being a star, he said " stars are in the sky".
vainglorious101 he did care he said he's not a superstar, and what does usher have to do with tevin, nothing!
vainglorious101 stop speaking for teenage girls and speak for yourself
Wonmor did justice to this classic.
Watch Wanmor remake this they brought this into the 21st century! It's knocking! The sons of Wanye
Supremely talented, but extremely humble. DOPE! 💯
Why am I still jamming this in 2020!
I am loving this song. How did I miss this song?
Tevin in my opinion is one the top three male R&B vocalists ever. The other two are Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway. Pure, natural vocalist. I see in the comments there are a lot of comparisons to Usher. Usher is the better all around entertainer. And he can sang his ass off. But Tevin is far better vocally.

He clearly has had the better career, yet he still feels a certain type a way about Tevin having a better 90s career than him.
Don't forget Luther and Marvin!
I agreed
Probably cuz The Many Ways sounds just like this song and Tevin's song is better.
Many considered him in his prime the male version of Nippy.
@@darlingnicki6923 Both were produced by Al B Sure.
2024 BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYY 💙💙💙
4-8-24 MONDAY!!!!!!!! ECLIPSE
(THE WANMOR BROTHERS REMIX & GAVE TEVIN HIS FLOWERS 🌺🌹🌷🌹 🌺

Those shoulder pads in that jacket though...hehehe...

That thing he did with his eyebrow at 2:16 got to me!
My favorite song by the great Tevin Campbell
Tevin sings so effortlessly, I loved when he sung "Far away", it makes me so emotional
I can listen to this a thousand times
Man I wished Tevin was still making music. Young man can sing. ❤😢
Sounds so good!
I always say Tevin is the Luther of my era the 90' s Shit i want to go back where is Marty and Doc When you need them
Tevin you are amazing ! I love you!
2:08 - 2nd verse🔥 🔥 🔥 He killed this performance vocally...
That the end run wow effortlessly done
First time seeing this and Tevin did NOT disappoint. These background singers were messing it up for me. I have always LOVED THIS SONG.
I was thinking the same thing about the background singers. They definitely needed to be a bit stronger.
His vocal 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
When music was music. Yes Indeed❤❤
Tev...his vocal talent is crazy!
Horribly underrated!!
So...So...Dope...One Love Fam...
Wtf how does he sound better live then the recorded version
Underrated
Songs that make you want to fall in love.
In my opinion old school R&B is the best and about the only person I know that still does It Old School Is My Bae the incredible Anthony Hamilton who is still doing it 20 years later😊😊😊😊
mab I love this video...I listen to it at least once a day. I love slow rnb. specially songs with beautiful voices. you better work tevin!!
Tevin is killlliiinnnggg this!!!
I’m just hearing this song in 2019 and I’m 40. How did I miss this one growing up 😩
Its 2021 and I'm still listening to this song.
I love him so much 😍😍
This one and immatures constantly stay in rotation even at 40 yrs old
Just effortless!!!
Damn Tevin!!!❤❤❤❤
Whitney , MJ, Usher, Stephanie Mills, Whitney Houston...Johnny Gill and Tevin had some of the best vocals as youths for me
Did u say usher?
@@ertfgghhhh yes
💜Tevin💞💕🎤🎶
Jay Leno said "Alone With Me" 😂
RIGHT! I CRINGE WHEN HE SAYS THAT! LOL
and it sounds like he says Kevin too, smh
+Charmaine Johnson he should've done his research before the show
You silly
I hated that!
Love this song ❤
This is how Whitney would hve sung it....
Jason Charles I said the same thing... he was channelling her🙌🙌🙌
yes
I never noticed how influenced he was by her!! DOPE!!
