    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.

      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.

    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!

    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
