I don't care what anybody says Mr. Alexander O’Neal is still kicking it and I hope he continues to do what he loves (performing for HIS fans)! Please come to NEW YORK!!!
Good to see the legend performing and having a great time. He has been through so much and owns every bit of it. No male vocalist has ever matched him or even come close. I love him eternally and I hope he has a long and blessed life. The Greatest male vocalist of all time.
He still have a voice. Will always be a fan. Still can sing circles around the artists these days. If he is 65 he still sound amazing. He singing my favorite hits.
I’m so so thrilled to see Alex still alive and doing his thing. But as a vocalist myself and a student of Alexander O’Neal, it hurts my heart to hear that his voice has diminished so much.😢
Agreed but hey the dude is 65 and still doing his thing. Not many singers are at their peak voice at 65 if even alive. If you put in another perspective, there are many singers he sounds better than at his age. Most of his songs were difficult keys to sing to so he could kill it t back in the day but there aren't many 20 something year old singers who could do "if you were here tonight" justice LIVE even at 20 something...In a studio, sure but LIVE...let's see it...Whole other situation.....
Three things you can't take away from.this amazing legend: the voice, his showmanship, and no matter what - Alexander O'Neal is ALWAYS a gentleman. That comes from a great upbringing. Whomever raised him did so properly!!!
Alexander O'Neal, a person without a pension. Look, he has to entertain. No pension like in Europe. In Europe, Alexander would fish, hike and die with love in his heart. The American dream is a shitty dream. (Sorry, my language is german)
Kind of sad seeing this and then seeing a thumbnail picture of him for a video from 1988, thinking what was and could have been. We all age but it's obvious a hard life of drugs has taken its toll. Could have been another Luther Vandross level type talent. On the positive, he can still sing pretty good here.
He is a true legend and still living his best life and loving it ! Go Alex! He sure was the bomb best in his day! No one came close! Love this man forever!
Looks like his cocaine use is catching up to him? Plus, his age is a factor as well because as you age, your vocal chords stretch and the muscles in your neck area atrophey somewhat as well loosing that robust that he once had. However, give him credit, he tried hard and he did fairly well.
It's something us Americans like to do no matter how long they expatriate. Once we realize we were playing ourselves by returning to the very place as to why we'd left, then we return to our place of expatriation. It's the Stockholm-Shawshank Redemption Syndrome.
Drugs. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis said they sent him to rehab several times. When he couldn't stay clean, they told him they couldn't work with him any longer.
@@yprice850 I don't blame them. They put thousands of dollars into their artists, for the artist not to show up to scheduled shows...they become a liability rather than an investment. He looks TERRIBLE compared to some of the other R and B singers of his era. Look like he'd just collapse and die if he tried to hit a high note. sheesh
He’s 65! He lived a life most of you would die for- money, women, fame, etc. Quit hating. He’s loving life and his fans love him immensely! He’s not asking for any of y’all’s approval
@@deniseliles7481 Listen here...he lived a life most of us would have DIED FROM!! Ain't nobody hatin, There are plenty of musicians and entertainers that still look remarkably well for their age, and are 10x more accomplished and older than him... he looks like SHIT. FOH
I don't care what anybody says Mr. Alexander O’Neal is still kicking it and I hope he continues to do what he loves (performing for HIS fans)! Please come to NEW YORK!!!
Makes my heart smile to see Mr. O'Neal still performing like he does. God bless him always and everywhere. 🙏🍀❤️💯🌺💐💖🍀🙏

oh okay one of my favorite coroners
David Smokey Luther Teddy Barry Marvin
Al Green
yep voice so buttery like a lb cake
Denise Mitchell can you please rephrase/reword that so it makes some sense? I have no idea what you mean?
You do know a coroner is a person.
That examines dead people right?
But I'm sure you meant crooners
Ooooooh, buttery like a pound cake 🍰!!!!
Coroners?!😅🤣😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looks like he's been poorly and lost a lot of weight. He's owning it though. His voice is great. The band is swinging too. Nice.
What the f@@!'xx happened 2 my man¿¿¿¿
this man is almost 70 if not
The weight loss is courtesy of that "china white"!
Damn, them drugs fucked my boy up. Damn. A black man is his sixties, that take care of himself, do not look and move like that.
Skip past the best song wtf
I love Alexander O`Neal. I hate USA. Alexander is a old men. He must work at last minute for live. Thank you God, i can live in Europa.
So sad to see Alex looking and sounding so bad, the drugs have sadly taken their toll, a great shame.
boom ..

Retire Alex...
I wonder why he is in london in the first place
It's something us Americans like to do no matter how long they expatriate. Once we realize we were playing ourselves by returning to the very place as to why we'd left, then we return to our place of expatriation. It's the Stockholm-Shawshank Redemption Syndrome.
He is very big over in the UK! I hope he come to NEW YORK!
He use to live in London. I think he moved back to the US.
They love him there. And he probably wakes more money there.
So you want to be a 'rockstar'.
Dammmmn he look bad :- (
