The reason people hate the song has nothing to do with the song itself. It’s every girl who couldn’t sing yelling down the hall. Hearing the song brings back trauma
I think the reason some people don't like it is because you could not escape this song anywhere for about 2 years 😂 Radio, talent shows, people singing in the kitchen. I appreciate you calling out the strings! I've never really listened to just how beautiful the instrumentation is.
@@you_can_call_me_T definitely not😭 matter of fact people barely ever talk about the “squeaky bits” nor is she the first to have those vocals in a song…
@LucidKay9114 I know there's a such thing as a yodel, but there wasn't one in this song. Y'all need to stick to whatever professions and hobbies you're good at. Because music is not it. That wasn't a yodel. Yodeling requires a quick alternation between chest voice and head voice, or falsetto. If you think you heard falsetto in that RUN, then I shouldn't even be talking to you bc you're COMPLETELY clueless. A break in the voice and falsetto are two TOTALLY different things. Her voice was breaking. She wasn't yodeling.
Awww I’m so glad he’s reacting to this 🥹 … Keyshia Cole is honestly so underrated in terms of her vocal ability! Her tone is so unique cause tho it’s a lil squeaky and a lil raspy it’s so strong and clear ! Her singing this live is unbelievable💕🙌🏽
People can hate but this song is classic. There's a viral video of primary school children who weren't even thought about when they song came out belting it out in unison at a school assembly. That's how you know when a song has become a true classic in the culture when the next generation starts adopting it.
This came out when I was 25 and it was huge then but what makes it even better is that elementary aged children sing this song with all their hearts now. This is a generational classic.
As an orch dork myself, I tried to play this song on my viola in middle and high school. Besides that, whoever hates this song needs a hug. Even kids today sing this song because of how passionate it is. I also think she sung this song in one sitting (minus the layover towards the end) because of the strain and strength in how she’s singing. Overall, this is a CLASSIC. ❤
Ohhh you definately have to do: 1.Heather Headley "I wish I wasnt", 2. Amanda Perez "Angel" 3.Avant "you aint right", 4.Avant and Keke Wyatt "Nothing in this world" 5. Tamia "Stranger in my house" 6. Tamia- "officially missing you" 7. Tamia- "Me"
Man that's Keyshia Cole, don't let ppl fool yall, she is a Power House, she sings her heart out..( that's why so many ppl love her) .. even though she may not hit every note, she definitely makes you feel her.. She's made some great songs, Great songs..
Till this day I don't understand why people don't realize that the squeaky part was intentional...And anybody else that tried to sing this song, just couldn't pull that part off without sounding bad....LOL
The point about her singing full force as the song fades really is a wonderful interpretation of her emotion on the track! We kept singing long after the song ended! Felt!!!
It's crazy how this song came back in popularity & now most of the younger generations know it too. At my nieces grad party they played it & all my nephews & nieces were singing it at the top of their lungs. As a Millennial it made me happy.
This song is a classic! I was 15 when this song came out 😅 and exactly how kids sing it today is exactly how we sang it when it released 😂😂😂 “looooooooooooooooooove!!”
Those girls probably didn't like it because this song was OVERPLAYED everywhere. This was one of her BIGGEST SONGS. But its a great song and she sings it live with even more passion. Also its funny when yall referred to the "runs" as squeaky parts. I was cracking up :D
I remember the first time I heard it I was taken aback by the "squeaky bits," but it did grow on me, since it was a love song and it is R&B. It may not be palatable to everyone, but I also believe that it does add to the emotion of the song, but it's still a classic Keyshia Cole song that I enjoy
Aaahh I’m SO happy you guys tuned in for Keyshia Cole! Definitely a unique voice & vocals. ‘The Way It Is’ was her DEBUT album! If y’all enjoyed this song, you’d DEFINITELY LOVE the album the song is from! So many singles & hitters back to back! 🩷
You guys nailed Keyshia Cole’s artistry and brand! She is the girl around the way. Her appeal was her relatability and rawness. And she hasn’t changed or switched up to this day. She was stuck in this lane much like Mary J Blige and Jazmine were, where all of their music was about heartbreak and struggle. All of those artist have worked hard at not being pigeonholed there while also embracing that it’s where they shine and connect the most. Keyshia has a great 3-4 album run worth reacting to!
This is one of those songs that Black millennials are going to be passing down to their kids and grandkids. We LOVE the chorus. That’s the best part lol
I am not American but I've known this song since it dropped and loved it and NEVER knew it was hated??? LMAO. Everyone I know loves this song! I've even been living in America for about 5 years now and I've never met anyone that hates this song??? Learn something new every day I guess....
Keyshia Cole is a phenomenal artist. This song was an undeniable hit in the early 2000s. If you hate this song, you’re either deaf or hate classic R&B music. As an 8 year old kid, this song spoke to my soul and I had never been in love but this record takes you there. I also have to remember that everyone has an opinion and they did state they liked certain aspects of the song. You just have to be black to understand this masterpiece. Every note, harmony, and layer and stacking in this song was intentional. The “squeaky” parts are intentional and a stylistic vocal choice.😊🔥❤️
Keyshia Cole is every bit of a singer who feels what she is singing and mean it. The emotion is what makes this song and many more of hers so great! And why she’s lowkey underrated. She’s a lover girl who loves to sing and she makes music about her love.
This song is AMAZING and a generational classic for sure. It brings me back to when I was 20 and just moved to NYC. My cousin had Keyshia’s album before anyone and kept talking about how amazing it was. I swear it took me & the rest of the world a whole 6 months to finally listen to it & understand. This album was such a slow burn.. it came out in the Summer and finally peaked around Winter/the top of the following year. Then she had her reality show on BET b/c everyone was so intrigued by her! This song will never die lol
Heaven sent + let it go + I remember + I should have cheated are all amazing songs. I think love got played out but I still love it. You two are adorable! Thank you for posting.
This song has all of a sudden gone viral with young inner city kids belting out this including the catchy chorus. It was a big hit and that’s why it’s a love and hate song…everyone was singing it all the time😂❤
This song was from my teens and made such a resurgence with the younger generation these last few years. My niece had her 13th bday last year and these kids were singing their hearts out.
Those were the days...😢 I will always remember my beloved late Father taking me to Best Buy and purchasing the music that is so profoundly nostalgic to me now.
Great Reaction Gentlemen; I Love this song no pun intended , 🤣 and jumped at the chance to see Your Reaction. I would Love to see more Reactions to Keyshia Cole; She's a Phenomenal Artist.
I love this song. It’s one of the most fun songs to sing, even when you can’t necessarily sing well. The” squeaky” bits you just scream your lungs out. lol Great karaoke song.
Finally a bay area artist. Keyshia has a great catalog. Here are some Keyshia suggestions: -Enough of no love ft Lil Wayne -Playa Cards Right ft tupac (recorded way after his death) -I should have cheated -Heaven sent -I remember (my favorite song from Keysha, has a 90's feel) Another bay area r&b artist you should check out is Goapele. Her most known song Closer will have you in a trance. I guarantee pops will like it.
I think the girls were saying they hate it because it’s one of them songs that you still here 10 years later so ppl say they hate it because we played it out lol 😂
For me, I downloaded this song illegally on Limewire in 2005 for my iPod Mini and burned it onto a bunch of mix CDs for my friends. This is the very beginning of iPod music! This is a special song for a lot of people where I’m from (Bay Area, CA)
Please! Listen to Heaven Sent by her. SO good. Can’t believe there are people out there that don’t like this song???? I’ve never met anyone who didn’t.
Loooove Keyshia Cole. ♥️ She was inescapable for a while, & thankfully I liked her music. For those that didn’t, I think that may have been their main reason for disliking this particular song. It was sooo popular. 😂 KC definitely appealed as the relatable hood girl next door.
The reason people hate the song has nothing to do with the song itself. It’s every girl who couldn’t sing yelling down the hall. Hearing the song brings back trauma
That’s what I said!! ppl who grew up when this song first dropped knows it was on ALL the girls playlist and we ran it into the ground baby
True but its also fun as hell to sing in a large group 😂
This song is for the boys
I didn't know anyone who hated this. Thats surprising
@@adrianTurbogocrazyand some of the boys. I sang the shit outta this upon its release
I have never met anyone who hates this song. This song is soooo nostalgic to me. SO good
FR these ppl tripping
Yea i dont wanna be near those ppl
I never liked this song, she doesn’t sound good
@@AdrielVaryoop.
You dont listen well @@AdrielVary
Every girl in highschool trying to sing the hook in the hallways and dudes telling them they can't sing 😂
I was one of those dudes 😂
They was arrogant as hell lol. I remember when torn came out they trying too sing that song also lol
“Let Keisha sing the song please” 😂😂😂😂
I used to tell em "okay! I see you" lying like a mf
@SolidSnake240 so was I 😭 like bruh please be quiet with all that noise.
I think the reason some people don't like it is because you could not escape this song anywhere for about 2 years 😂 Radio, talent shows, people singing in the kitchen. I appreciate you calling out the strings! I've never really listened to just how beautiful the instrumentation is.
No, it's definitely because of the squeaky bits lol
They still play it in the club today😭
@@you_can_call_me_T definitely not😭 matter of fact people barely ever talk about the “squeaky bits” nor is she the first to have those vocals in a song…
@@Laurica-lb6nv oh okay. I'm so sorry. You're right. I'm wrong.
Couldn't even escape it at school from a chick who couldn't sing, singing it at the top of her lungs 😑😒
This is classic early 2000s R&B. Keisha Cole is one hell of a singer
shes also a phenominal singer... i feel the "squeaky bit" in this song is what set this song apart from other r&b and made this song as big as it is
It's highly polarizing. People either loved it or hated it.
Yes, I think it was to distinguish her from other singers and make her voice more animated. Similar to the adlibs Michael Jackson did.
I hate it 😂
@@kandidwithkaleb same!
Exactly
Heaven Sent is personally my favorite Keyshia Cole song. My idea of a perfect song tbh
Yessss my mama used to have Heaven sent knocking in her car
You complete me is beautiful too🥰
I love Heaven Sent ♥️
I sing this song in the shower on high octane. 🫣
Same the entire album is classic to me
I always sing at the top of my lungs when this comes on - thinking I sound like her (I don't). Love this song.
SAMEEEEE!!! Break my damn voice
sameee
And this is why people hate it … cuz we sing it loud as we can knowing we can’t sing for shit 🤣🤣🤣🤣💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💟
It’s called yodeling. She was trained to do that. People are not use to hearing it. Especially in RNB. I love it. It expresses drama and passion.
Maybe that's why K.michelle gets compared to her a lot. I know she got a scholarship for yodeling and uses it a lot in her music.
There was not a yodel anywhere in this song. 😂
Lmoa you tried it Keyshia Cole couldn’t sing we litte watch her take vocal lessons on her show coming up to improve her voice
@@jeannoire5250 That literally what it's called.
@LucidKay9114 I know there's a such thing as a yodel, but there wasn't one in this song. Y'all need to stick to whatever professions and hobbies you're good at. Because music is not it. That wasn't a yodel.
Yodeling requires a quick alternation between chest voice and head voice, or falsetto. If you think you heard falsetto in that RUN, then I shouldn't even be talking to you bc you're COMPLETELY clueless. A break in the voice and falsetto are two TOTALLY different things. Her voice was breaking. She wasn't yodeling.
AN R&B CLASSIC! i clicked the notification so quick when i saw it 😂😂
Awww I’m so glad he’s reacting to this 🥹 … Keyshia Cole is honestly so underrated in terms of her vocal ability! Her tone is so unique cause tho it’s a lil squeaky and a lil raspy it’s so strong and clear ! Her singing this live is unbelievable💕🙌🏽
That squeak i loveeeee i call it the vocal cry, i find it a technique not many can do well.
Thank you for clarification cause I thought they were runs lol
People can hate but this song is classic. There's a viral video of primary school children who weren't even thought about when they song came out belting it out in unison at a school assembly. That's how you know when a song has become a true classic in the culture when the next generation starts adopting it.
This song is one of the most beloved songs in RnB. Her tone is what made the song hit and stick.
Her voice is very unique. I’ve always been a fan of this song.
I never heard of any one not liking this song 😭😭
This is a Classic! People hate it because it was overplayed! Lol
"Should have cheated" is one of my favorites by her
I shoulda lied! I shoulda cheated! Baby I should a went out to the clu-u-ub!🥴🥰
sameeee
Friggin love that song
This came out when I was 25 and it was huge then but what makes it even better is that elementary aged children sing this song with all their hearts now. This is a generational classic.
As an orch dork myself, I tried to play this song on my viola in middle and high school. Besides that, whoever hates this song needs a hug.

I also think she sung this song in one sitting (minus the layover towards the end) because of the strain and strength in how she’s singing. Overall, this is a CLASSIC. ❤
Ohhh you definately have to do:
1.Heather Headley "I wish I wasnt",
2. Amanda Perez "Angel"
3.Avant "you aint right",
4.Avant and Keke Wyatt "Nothing in this world"
5. Tamia "Stranger in
my house"
6. Tamia- "officially missing you"
7. Tamia- "Me"
I love all these suggestions omg
@kianadiyah9140 love her!I added it!
Officially Missing You is THE BOP!!!!
Man, Angel was my sh**
Tamia is my favorite singer. I saw her live last summer and she’s amazing. The microphone was on
Man that's Keyshia Cole, don't let ppl fool yall, she is a Power House, she sings her heart out..( that's why so many ppl love her) .. even though she may not hit every note, she definitely makes you feel her.. She's made some great songs, Great songs..

The off notes are intentional. It's for affect
Keyshia cole is one of the best r&b singers of the 2000s. Yall should check out her songs "heaven sent" & "let it go" classics
The point about her singing full force as the song fades really is a wonderful interpretation of her emotion on the track! We kept singing long after the song ended! Felt!!!

The squeaky bits 😂😂 love when ya’ll react to R&B songs. ❤
This is my first time hearing someone say that people don’t like this song. It’s a classic.
..when your heart is hurting the "squeaky parts" come out uncontrollably
You gotta listen to this song like 3-4x and then you’ll realize why ppl love it so much. It’s a classic
You guys nailed Keyshia Cole’s artistry and brand! She is the girl around the way. Her appeal was her relatability and rawness. And she hasn’t changed or switched up to this day.

“I Just Want It (To be Over)” is also another great song by Keyshia Cole too!
This is one of those songs that Black millennials are going to be passing down to their kids and grandkids. We LOVE the chorus. That’s the best part lol
Keysha Cole is an Oakland legend and so is this song! ❤❤❤🎉

Loved this song when I was 9 and I love it still now that I'm 28. Keyshia Cole's "Love" will continue to be a timeless classic.
The bass on this song!!! So good. I am glad you caught that and the rhythm.
When she performs this live, everyone’s on their feet
People who “hate it” is because they can’t sing it lol

Brings back memories of singing on the top of my lungs at my grade 7 school dance 😅

Favorite singers since high school 😂 you can feel her feelings fasho
I love this song. It’s one of the most fun songs to sing, even when you can’t necessarily sing well. The” squeaky” bits you just scream your lungs out. lol Great karaoke song.
It’s amazing that at this time we’re realizing what songs from the early aughts and 2010s were iconic
This song and Usher confessions being song at the top of our lungs during school rallies in middle school… oh this brings back memories
love, we belong togewther and be without you were Those songs back in that year
Keyshia Cole Let it Go - another good one.
yes indeed, i was looking for this
Finally a bay area artist. Keyshia has a great catalog. Here are some Keyshia suggestions:
-Enough of no love ft Lil Wayne
-Playa Cards Right ft tupac (recorded way after his death)
-I should have cheated
-Heaven sent
-I remember (my favorite song from Keysha, has a 90's feel)
Another bay area r&b artist you should check out is Goapele. Her most known song Closer will have you in a trance. I guarantee pops will like it.
I was on the fence about this song for a while, took me a few times to listen before i really got it. Now its one of my favs.
This song is a classic for sure!
Do Heaven sent ‼️‼️ dad gone cry fasho 😂💚
Should Have Cheated and Trust ft. Monica are beautiful as well. LOVE Keyshia! She's a classic gem.
Everyone loves this joint. She has a beautiful pocket and goes off consistently. The keys vocal fresh and yodeling is all with purposeful intent
The way drunk me be screaming and crying this song at karaoke
This is so authentic
This song was my ringtone when I was 11 yrs old back in 2008. It was my first cellphone… I still love it just like when I was a a pre teenager ❤️
I think the girls were saying they hate it because it’s one of them songs that you still here 10 years later so ppl say they hate it because we played it out lol 😂
I highly recommend: "Playa Cardz Right" by Keyshia Cole and Tupac ... that song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I LOVE KEYSHIA COLE AND THIS SONG❤❤❤❤❤
Love this song, this song had chokehold on people back in the day.
For me, I downloaded this song illegally on Limewire in 2005 for my iPod Mini and burned it onto a bunch of mix CDs for my friends. This is the very beginning of iPod music! This is a special song for a lot of people where I’m from (Bay Area, CA)
Please! Listen to Heaven Sent by her. SO good.
Can’t believe there are people out there that don’t like this song???? I’ve never met anyone who didn’t.
I actually enjoy when artists do the stylistic "squeaking". It sounds good to me when done right
I was 25 in 2005 and I was also going through something with a man i thought i was in love with. I LOVED this song.
I appreciate you guys for reacting to the song I really breaking it down to the components
Loooove Keyshia Cole. ♥️ She was inescapable for a while, & thankfully I liked her music. For those that didn’t, I think that may have been their main reason for disliking this particular song. It was sooo popular. 😂 KC definitely appealed as the relatable hood girl next door.
I LOVE this song
Mannnn this song made every girl feel like they could sing 😊
I love keyshia!!! I grew up on her music
This was my favorite KCole song… saw her live in Palm Beach many years ago.. she was a fierce force
This is a power ballad. My 7th grade self loved it and still do
The reason why people love it but can't stand it is due to overly listening to the hook,it gets really annoying
This is one of the greatest n beloved RnB songs ever
I LOVE this song…
