    Since we're in the year 2019 going on to 2020 (this was taped in 1994/1995), I noticed a lot of the comments saying how we will never get something like this gem of a live performance again. If they ever have an opportunity to put another performance like this where all the current male soul/R&B artist and group get together, who do you have in mind? Miguel? Luke James? Ro James? Chris Brown? Musiq Soulchild? Ginuwine? Tank? I'm just naming these at the top of my head, hehe... GO!!!

      Any of these originals still living need to be right back in contention. Chris Brown is a poor choice for black equality IMO considering his behaviour, but he is a great singer, granted. Honestly, look at who is in this video. The absolute OG's of old school new-jack, soul or RnB. They simply do not make singers like this any more. Ray-J, Mario and Bobby V? Maybe Lloyd? Before he went pop tart he might have been in with a shout. Jagged Edge, Dru Hill, Next, New Edition, Boyz ii Men? They're all the OG's, probably prominent at the era this was made, but still didn't make the cut. Bone Thugz should have been in this one to be honest. You need to remember, it's not just about the singer, it's about their impact on society and changing the perception of black men and their culture. Anything current, honestly, doesn't do that. I say this as white-male, who is a massive fan of black RnB, so i may be wrong - prove it to me.

      SprayWayCustoms Actually, a lot of the original singers are still alive and we have a lot of new, great talented singers as well. So, yes we could and should do this again, especially in these tragic times right now.

    Usher jumped on that mic like it was a damn grenade. And I'm mad after all that snatching he had the nerve to hit every single note but the right one.
