Can we just pause for a moment and give Tevin his flowers? He was a teenager holding his own among so many great R&B groups.

This entire challenge is literally him getting his flowers …

Yes!!

@Kimberly Blunt , 🙉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾‍♀️

@Ronnell Smith , *WHO was* " *A ONE hit WONDER"??* ( *Cuz TEVIN 'SURE' WASN'T!* )💯💅🏾

@Rita Wells , 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

To be honest Avery Wilson Owned the song his the best of them all.

Voice like butter. I’m about to look him up. Sheesh.

FACTS...my Baby B owned ALL of that..get it nephew ❣️❣️

@TopX Unleashed , he is a gospel singer.

It was Mario then Tori! 💯💯💯💕

I had no idea Anthony could sing. That wasn’t half bad. I’m impressed. Avery, Samoht, Jonathan McReynolds, and Tori NEVER disappoint 🔥. Mario always sounds really good too!

The first 4 was trash edit 5

Agreed. I've heard A.A. fooling around singing before, and surprisingly he really can carry a tune for that not to be his profession. Is it me, or was he throwing some West Indies vibes in there? 🤔 Oh, and my girl Tori ALWAYS comes correct!

Repent to Jesus Christ ““Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:38‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Omg my ears are bleeding!!!

@Kayode M Akinyemi omg that was horrible

Wanted to hear Mario do more, he was killing it.

as a baritone, he might have ended it like that on purpose

Yeah he did that

They didn't cut him, i went to his IG and sadly that was really the entire duration of his cover 😔 WE. WANT. MORE. MARIO.

Yeah they shouldn't have cut him

3:16 Slim Thug poured his heart and soul in that. ✨ I feel you man.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sounded kind of like a bowl movement to me

😂😂😂😂

@Jay's Photography: Graphic Designer my mouth dropped and I couldn’t even stop laughing I had to pause it for a moment 😂😂😂

That shows how gifted a vocalist Tevin Campbell really is

@Adrienne & Deonte Smith U said that well .. nobody could do it like him..when he was younger... much love and respect to Tevin but even he cant do it anymore..lol

Yeah, Avery is it everybody else can go home. Listen tho, those vocals.? Are hard !

Babyface & Tevin were a match made in heaven. I can not get enough of the LP "I'm Ready"! Campbell has an effortlessly POWERFUL voice like Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston

Yes, just saw him in concert two weeks ago and he hit all the notes as though it was the year he made it! Phenomenal vocal performance!

Avery killed it!! I wanted Mario to keep singing omg I used to go see him live at a little spot here in ATL called Harlem Nights many years ago! He actually came on stage this summer at One Music Fest with Kirk Franklin briefly... omg I was acting like a little school girl! He can really SANG ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Even Slim Thug???

Yes Harlem Nights! That used to be the spot in the A!

Tmi

Anthony Anderson was good! Didn’t expect that sound to come out and it was really good! Adrian Marcel- Love him! And how smooth his voice is. Q. Parker was great, Samoht. Tori shut it down as always! Loved it! ❤️✨✨

Q Parker underrated

Right!!!!!

First of all, I'm so happy that Tevin is receiving his flowers before it's too late. 🌷🌸🌹🌺🌼🌻 (I own ALL of his albums. They're ALL gems.) I'm shocked that Little Gary hit every note on the scale but the right one. 😯 This challenge totally exposes Wanya as the fraud that I always knew he was. 🎶You can't keep running in and outta my life🎶 **in my Charlie Wilson voice** Yes for me: ✔Jonathan McReynolds ✔Mario ✔Tori Kelly ✔Anthony Anderson

NO ONE sings it like Tevin but Tori Kelly’s rendition is hands down the BEST out of all of these. Idc what anyone says 💁‍♂️🤷‍♂️

She's awesome. All of them are. ❤️

Mario

When Anthony Anderson popped up, I laughed so hard. When he started singing shut me right on up. Wasn't expecting that. Mario won.

It's hard to pick from Avery or Mario 😭

That’s a fact

Right? I was laughing all through Anthony’s lil throat-clearing prologue… til he delivered. Adrian won though, wid’his cocky lil self.

Me too..lol

*WHAT MOST PEOPLE SEEM* *to FORGET 'IS' that LOTS of* *COMEDIANS 'ARE' GOOD* *IMITATORS, AND/OR* *IMPERSONATORS!!* 💯 ( *LIKE JAMIE FOXX, FOR* *EXAMPLE!* ) *SO, THAT* *MEANS that THE 'REALLY' GOOD* *IMPERSONATORS 'CAN' MIMIC* *MANY 'DIFFERENT' SINGERS* , *AND OFTENTIMES, HONE IN* *VERY WELL on DISTINCT VOICES!* *AND HOWEVER I AM VERY* *WITTY, AND I CAN DO MANY* *DIFFERENT VOICES VERY WELL!* *FEMALE, AND MALE voices* , *THAT IS!* 💯😁😎

Don’t really care who nailed it, more love and respect to all these talented people who shared their talent. I’m a 90’s kids so I grew up on majority of each person who feat in this vid.

wow Mario and Tori are amazing 💯❤️ plezzz do a duet together with this song 🙏🏻

Mario got it hands down, he wasn’t even trying ✨✨✨

Adrian was 💯, he sang without straining his vocals! 👏

Slim Thug had me crying laughing but he still did better than I ever could 😂

@AfroSamurai215 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Me too lol he did his best lol 😆

😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

I'm still enjoying the challenge 🥰 Can't wait to see Tevin do a new release in 2022

Was lmao! He get an a just for having fun!

Tevin was a beast with that song! Good job to all of the participants in the challenge!

Jonathan’s high-pitched silk was just made for this kind of singing. Tori brought it, too. She didn’t need all the in-between grunts though. Folk with soul can keep time and rhythm internally. 🌝🌝

Adrian Marcel took it for me. He was able to hit all the notes accurately and maintain the integrity of the song. Tori did a good job, but I think she should have been excluded because she’s a woman, so her voice is higher and therefore a lot closer to an adolescent boy’s voice, which is what Tevin Campbell was when he sang it.

"Tori did a good job, but I think she should have been excluded because she’s a woman, so her voice is higher and therefore a lot closer to an adolescent boy’s voice..." That's exactly what I was thinking, too.

This is a beautiful classic! Mario was my absolute favorite, Adrian & Tori also extremely Gifted. I Love Anthony Anderson, you Held your Own & Then Some , who knew you had pipes?!!

Slim Thug came on and I thought a car backfired outside my window😂 Avery, Mario and Tori killed it. And I was pleasantly surprised by Anthony Anderson.

This is lowkey why Slim Thug got COVID-19. ☕🐸

Not a car backfiring 😝😆😆

Slim Thug, can we be listen forever🤔

Lol

Avery Wilson has the kind of voice that is LITERALLY an instrument. he can do anything with it.

I love how crusty and nice their voices are , you can tell they been singing all their lives...

"Crusty"?! 😂 We call it raspy over here.

Sorry fellas, but Tori Kelly shut it down!!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Avery Wilson and Mario did their thing too

Tori Kelly should release this from the females perspective. Change the verses keep the chorus. 💫

Mario is so underrated, he absolutely killed it, I wouldn't mind hearing a full version from him

@Rasheedah Sandlin agree! She can sang!!!!!!!

He was the one that really started the whole thing right not tank?

@jimy0803 I'd say Mario has the closet key as TC, so it sounds closest to "default". I think both Tori and Adrian were up there.

Mario was off the Chart🎤🎤🎶 Yaaas.. Yes Mario My Top Pick "Can we Talk Challenge" Avery was hitting the best runs🎤🎵🎤 Adrian Marcel you did that !! Tory you was in the Game Finally...my boy from B L A C K I S H You can really Sang!! Good Job everyone

I miss real R&B singing

This being one of my favs. I like what Tori, Avery and Jonathan made this worthwhile. Tevin sang it as if it's just that easy bra ! I wonder how @Lloyiso wud cover this song

I stand for Slim Thug. He killed it with absolutely no effort! Seriously tho, there is a lot of pure talent in this video. Thank you, all.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shout out to Anthony Anderson , you did good dude. My votes go to Avery and Adrian for doing the doggone thing. Lastly but not least shout out to Tevin Campbell for making a timeless song that goes very well with Detroit style ballroom. Jonathan for honorable mention.

Mario and Tori were perfection! Everyone else good tries! Better than I could!

Mario nailed it. His voice never ran away from him.

I went to high school with Mario's mother...i met Mario when he was a little baby. Mario was one of thee most beautiful babies I've ever laid eyes on. I KNEW he'd be something special. ❤ R.I.P to his mother.

MARIO🔥🔥🔥🔥nailed it!!!!😄

😂🤣

@Joi W Absolutely! I loved it!

Loved Mario the most

Bobby Valentino redeemed himself in the second vid. Tori came thru for the ladies! Tank played the piano 🎹 Avery voice sound like butta. And I love Slim thug for jumping in like a boss.

McReynold won this one for me, impeccable technique, beautiful tenor and clean as all hell

Anthony Anderson did his effortlessly. Avery Wilson was killing it also with little effort.

Wanted to hear mario hit the chorus I reckon he would’ve done it best but scary killed it

I busted out laughing on Slim Thug. I love all these brothers that gave it a go. Tevin is truly a gift and I'm glad he knows that WE DID NOT FORGET HIM.

@Patricia Reynolds 😂😂😂

@Alisha Johnson SIS I IMMEDIATELY SAID THE SAME THING AS SOON AS HE OPENED HIS MOUTH!!! NO SIR WE ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY CANNOT TALK EVEN FOR A MILLISECOND!!!😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭

🤣🤣🤣

I swear I did too immediately. That caught me off guard. 🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

Mario's singing sounds the closest to Tevin's voice/range......would like to hear him sing the full song

Tori always does it just effortlessly

Dang I want more! It’s so nice to hear pure voices; those powerful, those raspy, those nervous- but they got it (allowances for nervous pitch); and Tory - I was actually hoping a woman would throw her hat in! There were names I didn’t know- I’m going to learn them! Someone PLEASE extend this!

Wanya’s version is my favorite he can sing literally anything and sound amazing!!

Slim thug gathered all the known and unknown keys and sang them all in a 10 seconds video 😭😭😭😭

😅😅😂🤣🤣🤣

"All the known and unknown keys..." 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭💀

@Tunya Starks 😂😂😂😂

Lmbooooooo

Please man.😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I wanna hear Mario's full version 💜

Baltimore dude in the house y’all know MARIO shut it down right, bravo to all of the challengers Tori that wasn’t fare what you did to those guys, she murdered it. Shot out Lil Tevin Cambel 🏆

I want a full cover from Mario at this point.

Mario, Avery Wilson and Tori understood the assignment!! Tank, Anthony Anderson, Samoht and RL did pretty good as well.

I'm really surprised by Anthony Anderson. He has a really nice voice.

*I 'WASN'T' surprised by* *A.A'S VOICE, JUST BECAUSE* *HE'S a COMEDIAN!* 💯 *WHAT MOST PEOPLE SEEM* *to REALIZE 'IS' that COMEDIANS* *STUDY voices, AND USUALLY* *ARE 'ABLE' to IMPERSONATE* , *AND/OR 'MIMIC' them!* #FACTS! 👉🏾💯🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️😄

@SPCEMAN , *I LIKE A.A'S* *VOICE! BUT TO EACH his OWN!* 💯💅🏾🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️

He really doesn’t

Yes..

Right?? AA came thru wit like the alto version

They were all amazing but Jonathan McReynolds absolutely killed it!!🔥RL’s raspy voice was a a nice rendition, Mario is always amazing!

Mario was the winner hands down. Anthony Anderson please release a single, you are great

Mario smashed it. Sounded remotely close to the original!

Took me a while to find this challenge, but boy am I glad to this channel and Tank for finally showing what an INCREDIBLE TALENT was inside of a young man named TEVIN CAMPBELL!! Bravo to Tevin for your classic performance. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Congratulations to all of the men and women who showed this song and TEVIN much love for trying to sing his deep-felt sentiment in their versions. 💃🏽💖

Mario has the purest sounding voice for this song. He’s way too underrated. So so talented and love love Tevin Campbell… his voice is just flawless.

He did a cover of a Keith Sweat song sometime ago...his version of it was FLAWLESS

I agree 💜

That's the truth. Mario, the guy driving, and one other guy sounded just like Tevin. All three did better than tank. The girl was spot on but she's a soprano.

FACTS. Mario Definitely Won this challenge and is very much underrated no matter what.

I salute mario he pulled it off so beautifully wish he had sang the chorus tho😘💯🔥🔥 then my 2nd choice is avery wilson great vocal too...others did a great job also

Mario’s voice will always give me goosebumps

Yo Avery! You killed It! What a voice!

I enjoyed the challenge. Everyone did a great job. Special love and prayers go out to Tevin Campbell. I hope he sees this and know that we love & miss him…🙏🏾❤️ 🎶 🎼 🎵 🎤

Mario and Tori killed it... And Anthony Anderson did his thing.

TC sing this song with so much emotion!!! Dudes on here singing are some heavy hitters! Would love to have Tevin back on the scene

My votes go to Mario, Johnathan, Adrian & Tori in that order …. Whoa! What? Anthony Anderson you did good! Shocked! Didn’t know you had it in you 😊. Tevin Campbell did his thang as a teenager with such class & ease; yet, sounding good. This was a cool challenge to showcase the song of all songs by most great artists that can sang; Tevin Campbell had that down early - love his voice 🥰💖

Mario was just great!!!! Loved for him to kept going. Didn't know Anthony could sing. Good job.

If I had to choose a winner I’d pick Mario. He nailed it! Johnathan, Avery and Tori were very good as well. Anthony Anderson shocked me completely!

Avery, Adrian

So he can sang not sing

The man is insane. Def doesn't get talked about enough.

I say Mario and Tori for a tie 🙈😁😁

Mario didnt follow the rules though lol he song a whole other part 💀💀

De los mejor son unos KISSLOVE.Uno Sun: "Hotter" Milk: "Sweeter" Ice: "Cooler" Yoongi: "Butter" Son unos de los mejores conciertos, no puede ir pero de tan solo verlos desde pantalla, se que estuvo sorprendente. Ojalá la cultura europea se representara más a menudo tan bellamente. No puedo dejar de decir "oh, esto es hermoso" a lo largo del video.❤

Anyone that attempts this song is amazing to me and I love each of their renditions.

Mario went in that hallway and got that echo and reverb going. He killed it!!!

Tevins music is eternal………..his love ballads were just as good as anything coming out back then…..this is proof of how timeless it truly is 🔥❤️💯🔥❤️💯 boy could he SING…….

And not a single person outshined Tevin. He was & still is such an incredible vocalist

@Talibah Burrell get out of here.

No one came close to Tevin, he definitely did his thang back in the day and still does period!!

Exactly, many forget or don't know Tevin was the male Whitney Houston

i don’t think anyone was trying to outshine tevin. However the only good covers to me personally were tori’s and mario’s.

Mario had it. Pitch perfect

Anthony Anderson 😂🤣 he actually sounds good. He has something in there. Avery Wilson - nailed it 🔥

Why Is No One Showing Adrian Marcel Any Love He Was Solid🔥🔥

Bruhhhh I’m saying

FACTS❣️

Omw I didn’t want Tori to stop singing 😍🔥

There’s a full cover of her singing it on here!

That is a ton of skill all coming together for fun. Keep the challenge going. I can think of 12 men and an unlimited list of women who could join this challenge and nail it. I want to hear more. Don’t stop now. 💟💟🎭🎭⚜️⚜️

I needed more from Mario He still got that angelic tone This took me back Time to go listen to my 90's R&B slow jams playlist

@Christine Harris Go listen to his EP Closer to Mars from last year. I play it every single day

I need more Mario TOO!! Mr. braid my hair 🎶💙👑

Mario killed it!

That's what I said. Mario really killed it!! And he sounds the most like Tevin Campbell.

Tevin is TOOOOO underrated to have the voice he has! This my jam but “tell me what you want me to do” is my SOWANGGGG😭💀

I wanted Mario to sing the entire song. So much so I was annoyed they cut him off. Lol

I keep watching this over and over. All of these singers are just unbelievable. Slim Thugga…. Really bro?? Lol you had me dead.

Tori is a great singer and I’m sure she made some stylistic choices but when she got to the main part of tank’s challenge, it made me realize just how difficult this song is

@ayob ok. I mean I get what you’re getting at. My realization still stands but for different reasons now. Thanks for the info.

Thing is, she wasn’t actually doing Tank’s challenge. Hers was done in quarantine 2020 and someone requested on her IG live to do the song so she just did the whole thing on the spot with no prior practice or takes.

This challenge screams the need to bring back REAL R&B singing!

REAL TALK

Speak

I been saying the same thing about today’s R & B, a lot of the females sing so breathless it’s a shame. I love real singing, only a few still do it. I loved this challenge tho.

@Beth Marie yes!!

Loved Adrian Marcel’s version

Okay, who cut off Mario? That actually made me sad! Because he was straight up KILLIN' IT! As did Tori Kelly!!!

OK, so comedian, superb actor and now we know a nice voice. He might want to explore that. Nice job Anthony Anderson. 👏🏾

Come through EVERYBODY with the vocals. This is music to my ears and enlightening to my spirit! Yaaaaaaaaaaaas my beautiful people!

I absolutely agree!!!🤓!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Mario nailed it. Jonathan was a close second. We have to acknowledge that Tevin was a teenager whose voice hadn't deepened while these guys are older. But Tevin's version will always be a classic. Much props.

Mario did kill it and he has a beautiful face and beautiful teeth and Tori she actually did pretty good to the girl

I agree Mario done his thang.

Well said😂👏👏👏

Good point

Classic jam! Awesome group of talented folks here. Imho, Mario smashed it!! 🤘

Mario won this, Avery Wilson a close 2nd, Adrian Marcel 3rd, and Q Parker 4th. It is obvious that Slim Thug has never heard the real song before, so bless his heart for trying.

This was just So amazing. LOVED IT.

Mario effortlessly killed it!!

Slim Thug made me chuckle. Kudos to him for putting himself out there. Anthony Anderson best surprise. Loved all the other renditions. Hard to pick a true favorite.

Yea he def was having fun with it

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

Avery by a mile and a half

Lol!! Agreed on both points

He had me in tears 😂🤣😂🤣

I love to hear Johnny Gill do the Can We Talk Challenge.

Rl killed it he was great but everyone was amazing blessings to all of you

I keep it 💯 Avery and Mario killed it! Much respect to Slim Thug lol only rapper too try 💪🏻🔥 music is the love you have for it it don’t matter if you can’t sing, if you love and feel the song sing it, let it be heard 💯

I want you all to give Slim Thug another shot. Y'all could've let the brother wake up first. I loved it, even Anthony Anderson showed up.

Okayy Anthony Anderson! I didn’t realize how hard of a song that was to sing. We definitely gotta give Tevin Campbell his flowers.

He started lower though he needed to be up there in the gods

@Maame she doesn't look familiar🤔

Nice. Buuuutttt. Tevin still has all of them beat..

Ok tho! I didn't know he could sing, he did it smooth while a couple others struggled just a bit lol!

Right 😮😮😮

Mario and Tori were def my favorite❤ I just wish Mario's clip was longer

This is really easy to sing tho, but they all did amazing “Avery” hit them notes like it was nothin but “slim thug” killed me 💀🤣 Also samoht , Jonathan , also Mario too and Tori Kelly did good too 🔥

@KingSupaBoii as a professional. Not shower singing

@KingSupaBoii why don't you sing yours and upload it ?

@iiclqdy it really is 🤷🏽‍♂️

No it isn't

Anthony Anderson is low key a good R&B singer👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This just goes to show much of a beast Tevin Campbell was

Jonathan McReynolds was the best. It’s perfect for his voice range. But I was surprised by Anthony Anderson! Go ‘head on, Anthony! I see you! ❤️❤️❤️ This was great! Great job, guys!

Damn Mario killed it

Avery Wilson killed it😭😭

@Mimi Donaway Jonathan McReynolds is a well known Gospel artist.

Love the fact that Bobby V got do it twice and two different outfits🙌🏾

I love tori Kelly take of it; and yes mario did his thing and tank as usual :)

Come through, Anthony Anderson! I had no idea you could hold a note, Sir! 🖤

RL was straight up bringing the old school vibe...Everytime I hear his voice I remember my HU days....BISON!

And Tevin sings this so effortlessly, this was needed to really highlight his talent 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 love it

@Faith 💯

💖

I couldn't agree more. Johnathan was the only one who came close.

So true 👍 👌

@K J and Tevin can still hit the notes like he recorded it yesterday. He's a great at singing live too.
