Reminds me of my drunk aunt and uncle doing a duet at the Sunday barbecue, Tina still sounding great, Rick had a lot of wear and tear from all them decades of partying but he still pulled it off 😎👍🇺🇸
She's screaming because she doesn't have it anymore. That was terrible. Chaka Kahn never lost her voice, but Tina Marie most def has it no more. Hopefully nobody had to pay money to see that train wreck 😂😂😂
@@newhorizonsforfifty2833 you are 💯👍💯 who ever said that must have never heard rick james before all the chaos in his life because that man could sing he was already sick by now
Had me and my mom ROLLIN on the floor!! They still did pretty good too despite being absolute on some stuff lmaoooo!! Man this brought back some good memories. RIP to them both 🥹!
Word is, they were fighting like cats and dogs backstage, but put it aside long enough to make this one of the most memorable performances in the show's history.
Make sure you emphasize the word SANG!!!! Both of them!!!! He was a wild child but wrote for himself, all of Mary Jane Girls music, Smokey Robinson, Eddie Murphey(yes he tried to be a singer lol “Party all the Time”, plus co wrote for her and many many more…. Back then you had to sell records and fill venues to win awards….
Yes she did AND guess what⁉️ HE KNOWS that she carried that performance TOO but SHE STILL GAVE HIM HIS RESPECT TILL THE VERY END OF THE PERFORMANCE (he noticed that as well) RESPECT WILL GET YOU FURTHER THAN UPSTAGING A MAN IF - - - HE’S A MAN. ( if he ain’t nothing will do)
Vivica A. Fox, Pharell, Jamie Foxx and the others enjoying or being speechless. It's incredible the excellent voice quality Rick had by the last days of his life given that he was about 56 and despite the countless health issues he had, he nailed it.
Man, this seems like it was only yesterday when this was airing live. It was a great t.v. moment for lovers of r&b music. Who would think that we would loose them both shortly after.
This was such an over the top performance but that’s the temperature the song had anyway. The vocals were great and after all those years, they still had it. 👏🌸
Iconic. 2024. There is no duo that can show that love of song. ♥️👍🏼♥️💋. I remember watching this on tv and was more in love with Teena. This was and will always be iconic. No other can Ever do better
❤Teena Marie and Sade sounds great live just like the albums and Miss Marie you can filling in your heart and soul my choice she was the greatest voice ever ❤😅 after 2 minutes on this video she brings tears to my eyes ❤
Last time I saw Teena live was in Baltimore at Artscape in 2006. My Son, made his Mothers dream come true. At that time he was the music editor of The Baltimore City Paper. Now he is a writer for Dr. Dre. Name dropping Mommy. Waiting for my next adventure. Although there has been many in between 2006 and now. Teena will understand, my adult children call me "White Chocolate". I was devasted by her passing.
Ase & Blessings ... Two Legends...thur will never be anotha like this two. You just had ta be thur ta understand and kno them...rest eazy Teena and Rick ...✌️
Its now summer in 2023 and I am still in awe of this awesome performance by two former giants and legends of the music industry... may their souls continually rest in the arms of the omnipotent saviour Jesus Christ heavenly Father 🌹💐🌹💐🌹💐
You cannot watch this and not smile and get all those lovely feelings, never mind him not being the same guy, he did it, he earned and there's not many that could pull that off with such passion and confidence. Imagine being there, EPIC and this is in 2024 !
AS good as it gets, Classic, Timeless, will withstand the Test of Time. As kids growing up in this time of 33's, record players, Boom Boxes, Cassettes, Garage parties, McDonalds Kool Aid Jugs, Keggers, Epic times. Could not have asked for a time period where it all came together. RIP Rick James Teena Marie!
This was sad for us that grew up listening to these amazing singers. Rick had destroyed his voice and you could tell he was trying but it was very cringy. This is my favorite duet. Even the audience was uncomfortable when he got into the song and it was obvious he could not sing it. But Tina held it down for him. RIP to both...
Rest In Peace James & Mary Christine Brockert AKA Lady T Teena Marie.I liked Teena's dress.I saw this when it 1st aired before my 12th grade year.They still showed the 2004 BET Awards in 2004 after Rick James died.
Two of the most talented, true artists of our time. Wouldn't it be great if a movie was made depicting their story? A film genuinely respectful of Rick and Teena and not the usual Hollywood garbage.
When I say I miss these two legends right here!!! Like crazy!! I will NEVER forget this moment!!! I really miss my auntie and uncle (in my head) I love yall!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’ve loved this song forever and this performance gave me chills again. It had that feeling which is very hard to explain but you know it she you hear it.
Lets be real teena one of the top 5 female vocalists
Let’s be really real, she’s better than anyone you can name
@@raw5889 I just wanted to be fair
In the world? lmao
@@thetrxppiniqqaYes in the whole wide world.
@@mckenziecolclough8547 haha ❤️ love it
I remember when this aired. I was too young too appreciate it but now it’s giving me life
Swear to God same reason I’m here, song came on shuffle and it unlocked this memory and I had to look it up 😂
So much life 🙌🏾
Yes!!! I do to my family was so lit during this part😂
Facts!!!!
I was 14 when this came out on bet lol I'm 34 now and singing my heart out
The awards shows used to be lit😩❤️
See this is when the BET awards was as big as the Superbowl! When we marked it on our calendars and treated it like a holiday ❤❤❤
Uh no it was never as big as the Superbowl lol
2:43 😅@@briancrawford69
You ain’t never lied
Teena Marie no joke. Getting in front of all those great singers and laying it out like that.
❤❤❤❤2024
She is a great singer!
She sang better than most of them
R.I.P to both Rick James and Teena Marie. Both making duets up in the heavens above us.
❤❤❤❤2024
Exactly when the sun shining And you’re blinded that’s them When is storming outside them?
Like two old lovers that became friends still belting it out live. Love it
Rick was beating on her at one point, allegedly. Tina and Ike new version. Teena was a scream singer which means she wasn't the truth.
Nossa, que triste! Deus a tenha Teena😢
@@jonahlogan7234 teana was the truth. You do drugs if you think all she did was scream.
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮
"_Like_"? They were two old lovers.
The original song was recorded in ONE TAKE!!!!! Let that sink in!
Reminds me of my drunk aunt and uncle doing a duet at the Sunday barbecue, Tina still sounding great, Rick had a lot of wear and tear from all them decades of partying but he still pulled it off 😎👍🇺🇸
Hahahahaahahahahahaha
LOOOOOOOOOOL no lies , I thought the same thing 😂
*snort laughing*😂😂😂😂😂your comment hit hard. 😂😂😂
LMAO!!!! Thought the same thing.
Stroke’s actually
She(Teena) never lost her voice!! Rick James unfortunately did. Damn!!! She hit those high notes like she was rocketing into space!!! Effortlessly!!
True
HE HAD THAT STROKE WHICH AS MANY KNOW , THAT AFFECTS THE MUSCLES. IT DEFINATELY AFFECT HIS VOCALS.
😮
I doubt me and you was listening to same shit 😂 neither of them had vocals
She's screaming because she doesn't have it anymore. That was terrible. Chaka Kahn never lost her voice, but Tina Marie most def has it no more. Hopefully nobody had to pay money to see that train wreck 😂😂😂
Teena Marie had a permanent invite to the cookout...RIP Lady T and Rick James
I'd even eat her potato salad! 💯
Auntie was BLACK and we won’t blaspheme by calling her anything other 😂😂😂
The both of them I’m so mad that the both of them not here I can’t invite them to the cookout my heart hurts
They still sound better than any other new artist that sound live and remember this was live and not rehearsed
so true!!
They sure do
You need to get your hearing checked, then.
Incredibly false. I swear the generational bias is wild lol
@@newhorizonsforfifty2833 you are 💯👍💯 who ever said that must have never heard rick james before all the chaos in his life because that man could sing he was already sick by now
Who remembers watching this the day it was on tv? It was actually funnier back then
Yep😂
Had me and my mom ROLLIN on the floor!! They still did pretty good too despite being absolute on some stuff lmaoooo!! Man this brought back some good memories. RIP to them both 🥹!
Did she say "take me a little higher, Beyonce" @2:03❤😂 That girl was "destined" for stardom❤💯
Teena knew talent when she saw it lol
She killed it!! Knocked it out of the ball park dayum 😅
Word is, they were fighting like cats and dogs backstage, but put it aside long enough to make this one of the most memorable performances in the show's history.
My aunt told me about that night, he acted a fool and she cussed him out. You can see it on her face LOL
No matter what.... No one should Never Never Remake this. Its not just a SONG, but LOVE
This was a performance.. not just music.. how it was
Happy for those that was able to witness this greatness live and jealous at the same time!!!
T.Marie hands down one of the Top 5 voices I've ever listened to in my lifetime. Her, Whitney, Denise Williams and Anita Baker are top 4 easy.
What? 🤔 Mimi Riperton, hello. She sang without screaming to hit her natural voice talent. Ms. Warwick, Aretha Franklin natural talent.
Whitney!!!
Add Keke Wyatt and Mariah Carey
I agree and, I would add Minnie Riperton to the list
And to anybody who don't know RICK JAMES......wrote, composed, edited, and yes produced all his shit AND SANG.......FACT
AMAZING talent 💖💖💖
Great performance
A beast at his craft
Love them together
Make sure you emphasize the word SANG!!!! Both of them!!!! He was a wild child but wrote for himself, all of Mary Jane Girls music, Smokey Robinson, Eddie Murphey(yes he tried to be a singer lol “Party all the Time”, plus co wrote for her and many many more…. Back then you had to sell records and fill venues to win awards….
Even in 2021 this still gives me goosebumps
2022 here!!
2023 here
2023 I’m watching it again!
Me too!!!!
@@sometimesvegan2290 now 2024 😁
No matter how he sounded I loved Rick James.
Teena carried that performance. #LetsBeReal
lol
Listen to the original song
Shut up he's a fucking icon and without Rick there wouldn't have been any Teena.
Yes she did AND guess what⁉️ HE KNOWS that she carried that performance TOO but SHE STILL GAVE HIM HIS RESPECT TILL THE VERY END OF THE PERFORMANCE (he noticed that as well) RESPECT WILL GET YOU FURTHER THAN UPSTAGING A MAN IF - - - HE’S A MAN. ( if he ain’t nothing will do)
@@huitrecouture hahaha! FActs
She carrying through the whole song
Rick still sounded pretty good despite his drug abuse. Teena Marie was awesome
The soul doesn’t go nowhere.
Cocaine is a helluva drug
HE HAD THAT STROKE, THATS WHY IT WAS HARD FOR HIM TO SING HARD.
Sad... His voice was pretty much gone. She was covering for him big time and hitting all of the high notes. RIP the great Rick James!
This performance is iconic.
That performance was vomit invoking 😂😂😂
Vivica A. Fox, Pharell, Jamie Foxx and the others enjoying or being speechless. It's incredible the excellent voice quality Rick had by the last days of his life given that he was about 56 and despite the countless health issues he had, he nailed it.
Teena Marie, you killed it again. Love ya. RIP Rick and Teena.
Isn’t it funny that an older singer past his prime sounds better than today’s singers. LOL
Rick and Tina both have voices thier chemistry is amazing
God her voice was beautiful. all those notes she hit gave me chills 😩😩 nice performance!
2:09 Guy in the white jacket is like ohh man Tina is about to tear it up lol
THE BEST...RIP TEENA AND RICK
I think experience. I ever hear of .you better. Pray for rick james
miss teena held her own baby love
Legendary there will never be another Rick James and Teena Marie this is iconic history forever 🙌🩷🎥 RIP
Teena Marie is one of the best. She blows me away. ❤
I LOVE IT WHEN SIR RICK PICKS LADY TEE UP AND SHE HOLDS AND CARRIES HER 🎵 WHOOOH GIVES ME CHILLS THERE PERFORMANCE SOOO EPIC AND TIMELESS 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤ 💯
It doesn't get better than this...pure quality
One of the greatest duets EVER - from 1981 right into 2004! Hard to believe he died just weeks after. RIP Rick & Tina✝️
Ela morreu do que e quanto tempo faz?
Both was high as a kite 😂😂😂

Teena was like that!!! love her
