Coko is a vocal beast! She is definitely underrated vocally. Her runs are impeccable, spot on and unique. She carried that whole group. Her name doesn't come up enough when people talk about the greatest singers ever.
@@AngelHoll-pr8fz leelee may have put the group together bt Coko def carried this group.. i saw them live an as the commenter said Coko carried them even her stage presence carried the group. Taj an Leelee don't seem to have the same essence as Coko..not like Xscape
The soprano was definitely SOPRANOOOOOOOO'INGGGG!!! Coko has such a magical and distinctive tone and timbre to her voice, so much so that anytime she does a run or a slide, it gives me goosebumps
I was telling someone the other day that there was an era of time when you would turn the radio on and back to back you would hear Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, R. Kelly, Destiny’s Child, Mariah Carey, Mary J Blige, Michael Jackson, Jodeci, SWV, Aaliyah and the list goes on. What a time man!!!
Coko really does have a platinum voice. She carried the team with that voice. Nobody sounded like her at that time. I wish we got to see more of her single career
She has an awesome voice. But she didn’t carry the team. They are all different ranges and blend very well together. Thats why they work better as a group.
If anyone knows anything about Cheryl, you know Lady Tibba put her stamp on it. Her mom is a gospel singer whom like Whitney started teaching Coko to sing at the age of 3 in church. So when SWV broke in their 20s, Coko was already a beast. She still has the range she’s just older now. Why people expect singers to live in a time capsule? She’s 52 now. She’s not going to sound how she did in her 20s.
The secretary at my grade school used wear her nails super long like that when I was a kid in the 80's.. I used to wonder how the hell she typed like that!! 😂
@@reesey8600 Huh? You said Coco can't do Kandi's whistle notes? 🤣😂😅 Who told you that lie? I can tell you're not a true music lover. Listen to Coco do Patti LaBelle's 'If Only You Knew'... You will want to delete your comments.
@@dtrn254 I said what I said. She has an amazing range but she doesn’t have a whistle register🤷🏽♂️ The song you provided doesn’t show her hitting whistle note (look’s like your not the true music lover due to you not knowing about vocal ranges) so my comments gonna remain here. Post a link of her hitting a whistle note or provide a song where she hits that note and I’ll take my comment back.
@@reesey8600 Simply hitting a whistle note is not singing. Chante Moore, Minnie Ripperton or a Mariah Carey actually can WHISTLE SING. Big difference from Kandi.
Yes, I mos definitely agree that Ms. Coko was that Vocal Beast and definitely made the group a success but listen to Ms. Leelee's ablib & run she quickly did @ 0:55. I really do wish that Taj & Leelee was given more leads cause their voices were slept on.
True Queen every time I see Coko I think of my mom she thought she was the 4th member of SWV I can only imagine her in high School before I was born in 94 😭🖤
Nah, she likes this song, just watch her reaction at the NPR Tiny Desk concert when Lelee says "sometimes we get so tired of singing it!" Coko shakes her head to disagree 😂
@@nickhudson53 lol Mariah’s voice placement is not a alto she said that in an interview and she is wrong no voice teacher or anybody with kind of training would classify her as an alto she is not coloratura soprano is closer to what she is possibly a light lyric coloratura soprano due to airy sound she sings with
You were NEVER forgotten Coco & all SWV, (central London, UK), no way honey, the CD's I've treasured just didn't need to be dusted at all...they were in use...but I get that fear & anxiety when you suffered being devalued, dehumanised, all that you left behind can be a wrench but take it easy,
This looks s insanely amazing ! I love this compilation of weak great job! So obsessed with this song since it came out was it 30 years ago still Inlove with this song to this day ❤️ never ever got tired of it like wine it’s gets better and better with time ❤️ best song ever ❤️
2008 was definitely my favorite. Her voice was 100% matured and perfected by that time period and she definitely couldn’t wait to let loose at the 2008 BET Awards
@@msm5426 well SWV sold 30 million in comparison to Xscape’s 7 million. I like them both but if you’re to crown one over the other let the numbers speak for itself. Hellur 👋🏽
**They sold 30 million records beechhhhhhh** Yesssss. I love them ALL. They individually have beautiful voices. You can definitely hear it. #SistasWithVoices
such an amazing voice. its not that she "carried" the group. The group backed her up with great harmony. Coko definitely not talked about enough when it comes to great singers tho
Yes they are. She said it on their Unsung episode. She said those were hers and she grew them to rebel against her overly religious mother who was an extreme Christian.
No but for real. Imagine just being there for straight up ad libs and that’s it… cause that’s all Taj & LeeLee be doing. Straight adlibs not even verses
Coko's voice is right up there with the best of them

@@prissyposse4032 exactly. Leelee and taj deserve more credit....
Exactly. I wish people would give Taj and Leelee their flowers as well
Coko learned later that she didn't have the right attitude for a solo career and needed those other girls more than we thought.
Lord, what this woman can do with her voice! The range, clarity, and control. No studio enhancements or tricks on stage either.
It’s so amazing!!! 😍
Her voice is so unique and strong. She gives me chills!
She has definitely grown into her voice. She has mastered it now
Yess !!
Mastered. She never needed to master it her voice is perfect literally.
I agree you can see the transformation over the years how control and mature it had become

Of all the 90's female groups, by far Coco of SWV was the BEST LEAD VOCALIST!!! And still is!!! That's it!!! Period!!!
Coko and Dino of HTown had the most distinctive voices of the 90s.
whitney? mariah? lauryn hill? mary j blige? 90‘s had a lot of great voices
@@l.n963 I said distinctive as in unique. I said what I said.
Round that out with Lil G from Silk
Brandy is the goat of the 90s 😊
@@Mikegrown12 true
Young Coco is as belting the hell out them notes! I remember getting dressed for school singing along, she was the voice of 99s r&b
She definitely is 💯💯💯💯
I love Coko
Her voice isn’t just beautiful, it’s special ❤ one of my favorite groups ever
Coko and her nails back in the 90s! What a statement 😍😍
Definitely ahead of her time!

coko the best so underrated 💯
The way I study her vocals
She learned how to control it better over the year..love it
Kandi could never....I could care less about money....I'm a lover of vocals and true talent. Coko got it ❤

And her son is so talented he makes music
Saw her on Sunday at the London 02 I was in awe!
For her to dislike this song, she sings it effortlessly
Probably cause they sang it so much
She NOW appreciates it.
She doesn't dislike it now, she disliked it when she was in her early 20s because she couldn't relate to it.
Nah, she likes this song, just watch her reaction at the NPR Tiny Desk concert when Lelee says "sometimes we get so tired of singing it!" Coko shakes her head to disagree 😂
Coko's voice is amazing. I love it even more now, but, she's always been special.
I always said Coko was the best female vocalist that came out of the 90s era. Very unique soprano voice. Many have copied but no one sounds like Coko.
Better than Mariah, Toni, Chante Moore, Kelly Price, Faith Evans??? NO! 😭😭😭
@@oblountj No competition all the ladies sound good in their own way, stop penning black women against one another fool

I love Coko I used to go to the family dollar as a child and get the long nails because Coko. What a blessing it was to grow up in the 90's
These women can sing. Back then and now. Respect it.

Only people with similar voice is Shirley Murdock and Deitrick Haddons wife Damita.
Keke Wyatt
I forgot CoKo had them claw nails
U can ALSO hear the harmony of Lelee & Taj, sounds good w/Coko's lead vocals...#TexasBrotha 🤠🫵
such an amazing voice. its not that she "carried" the group. The group backed her up with great harmony. Coko definitely not talked about enough when it comes to great singers tho
Yasssss
No A5s are clear and resonant like Coko's A5
Beginning of the video: SWV on the Arsenio Hall show.
❤
Coko’s voice can get shrill and off pitch really quick. It’s kind of hit or miss with her.
Great gowns, beautiful gowns.
Taj KEEPS her hair laidt, do you hear me?
I read somewhere that those were Cokos real nails. Can anyone confirm?
Yes they are. She said it on their Unsung episode. She said those were hers and she grew them to rebel against her overly religious mother who was an extreme Christian.
Weak was made by using doeffect1 and it was made by HaRo!!!
🎶 🎵 🎤 💟
SWV 🫶 Taj, Coko and Leelee
And Coko was the first I ever saw with long long nails
Lmao "sang it girlllll" i live for the gays
👑💗👑💗👑💗❣
Can someone find the full for 3:34
🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
They sound so beautiful….. but I can’t help but wonder if they ever get tired of singing the same song? 😂😂😂
I'm sure they did. It happens, especially if the song is a hit. They'll be singing it for the rest of their lives. 😅
right? but i think that’s why they experiment with adding more/different adlibs and runs to make each performance unique and fun!
She can do no wrong to me ..idc idc.
Lord them nails
😯
No but for real. Imagine just being there for straight up ad libs and that’s it… cause that’s all Taj & LeeLee be doing. Straight adlibs not even verses
I’m so glad she got her teeth fixed!
Those nails have me WEAK💀

I feel like this is what Tasha wishes she doing
What singing in a group?
