hehe thanks.. im quite disappointed though cos alot more swv footage is beyond watchable now cos i played the hell out of the vhs tapes...😣 if only dvds were around back then...
@@rbjr94 You being born in 94 has nothing to do with this video, are you delusional or something? We were talking about the quality of the video being good because any other time, a 94 video would look bad, being as though this is 2021, so calm TF dowm and stop trying to make this about YOU!!!
There are just TOOO many things to love about this clip!!! • All 3 sangin! • Coko actually harmonizing with Taj & Lelee (something I seldom hear her do live) AND still sing lead • Upbeat songs (which I still prefer for these ladies) • They look amazing • Sound confident • Did I mention 3 (as in all three) part harmony? • and on and on the list goes! I could watch this all day long!
Sang babies! TLC, Xscape, Kut Klose, Brownstone...out of all the groups, these 3 girls were my favorite.....I loved their swag and most of all I loved their Music. Their first album was my favorite but I loved all of them. Coko's voice gave them that distinct and unique sound, but Lee lee and taj harmonies did too. Forever a fan, I still buy their music to this day.. MCE is my favorite track from the new album.
totally agree... MCE is a monster track.... was hoping for a video 🙁 i envisioned the ladies on a fabulous cruise liner performing all decked out in stunning black dresses with their hair up lookin good enough to eat and sittin at the tables are a star studded bevy of beauties... eg ti new edition boyz ii men ray j and the list goes on... wouldnt that just be the best video lol
Classic group and their sound is very distinguished/ extraordinary. Love their harmonies. Def front runners in the 90s and love their still touring and making music.
I can just see the lineup.... 1) Written All Over Your Face 2) Theyll Never Be 3) Ill Take You There 4) If Only You Knew 5) Ill Be There 6) Hes So Shy 7) Lady Marmalade 8) I Like 9) I Wanna Be Where You Are
totally agree!!!! i want them to cover I Like officially...Lelee sounds sooo good doin the lead and Coko n Taj sound amazing on that 2 part harmony together OMG
That is my first time hearing Lee Lee sing @6:50. Wow, she has a nice voice. Now I need to hear Taj. I was here on 4/22/2023 at 2:00 a.m. My bday is on 4/28 :)
Oh to be alive in 1994. I was 7. That was a good year. We got a super nintendo and starter coats that Christmas. We definitely tuned in, in real time or somebody taped it and we watched it the next day. Those were the days 🥰
Back in the day when a live singer sang in one spot and gave it their all, not dancing around the stage lip singing or trying to catch their breath and poor singing.
Really? I always thought LeLee and Taj held back a lot and was often pitchy with harmonies, but eventually got it right. En Vogue and Xscape had harmonies that were mesmerizing to me because it was a unique sound. SWV had nice harmonies but with 3 ladies and 2 of them doing most of the harmonizing was a normal sound to me. To each is own tho
@@joelprice6028 their sound was raw... lelee and taj was on point with this performance.... but it's hard to judge when u dont listen hard cos they weren't powerhouse but that doesn't mean they didn't deliver...
The difference is that both EnVogue and Xscape had powerhouse singers that had the ability to lead and background. SWV had/has a cute basic harmony but EnVogue and Xscape had more intricate harmonies.
Leanne betta sing Michael Jackson! She should sing more; she has a good voice IDK why doesn't open up more. Coko was blowing here too on the Jackson 5 song.
youre absolutely right cos i have an old interview with lelee on a cleveland radio show just after swv broke up and she was not happy... amoung other things she was pissed saying, why did the label wait until they split to release songs with her singing leads... surprise me and mystery (greatest hits simitar)
Good Lord, I'd give anything to relive the 90's..R&B and Hip Hop was just at it's peak then, and people supported it. I feel fortunate to have grown up during that era.
Sho iz! I'm so guttered tho cos my fav from their set He's So Shy was too brief... wish I could hear cokos take on June's lead ... I absolutely love that song!!! The Pointers would of been so proud!!!
Dang that was good. Listened to those songs every day in the 90s driving from SF to Oakland for a teaching job. Missed all those kids at Laurel Elementary and hope they are all doing well now.
Zeebo! You never cease to amaze me! I THOUGHT I was a fan! LOL And when have you EVVER heard Lelee sang like that!? In 25 yrs I've been waiting to hear it and here they are in 1994 on the Arsenio Hall show no less! This clip just gave me everything I need for the week ahead! Oh, and I'm still enjoying that Right Here maxi single you sent me. btw. Thank you again for that!
Lol@Lelee comment, i thought the same thing when i watched this for the 1st time... i think if ms lyons was in a group like the staple sisters or pointer sisters she would of gotten more leads cos shes an old skool crooner... ive always wanted to hear her sing marys not gon cry and sades every word... she would sound soooo good😉
Listen to the track "When This Feeling" on their 2nd album. Lelee sings the bridge and hits highs that sound like coko's lows. She has the widest range of the group but I think got lazy. If she had spent serious time working on developing her voice, she would be more prominent. And Taj's tone is so sweet. A distinct ringing sound like a light bell. No ONE in the industry sounds like Taj. That's a huge blessing to be so unique.
youre very welcome, my only regret is that they didnt air each performance in its entirety.... those people in the crowd were very lucky to witness that😀
SWV always one of my favs out the girl groups let’s goooo LeeLee with the vocals on I’ll be there so cute ☺️ man I loved growing up in the 90’s good memories🤗
Gosh, how did I miss this episode back 'n tha day! #SWV Sangs! near 4:09... tho, #Taj is a #Taurus... she may have her natal Venus & or Mercury in an air sign; her hubby is a #Libra, recall what she said to & of Bobby Brown in her own reality TV show #IMarriedaBaller... and what she said in a recent IG live, her crush on the late great handsome #Tupac... we see you, T. 🙂
The more I watch the more I can tell it was rehearsed. The band is spot on and they sung a bunch of songs that weren’t theirs. Genius on both ends to pull this classic off!!
@@rbjr94 @rbjr94 A vocal angel if you MUST know..child of THE MOST HIGH...heavenly choir director..etc..etc. 😇. She is her, and I am him.Back n forth we shant go, really. The ladies did their thang..this we can all agree. Have a blessed Saturday now!!
THIS is why this show was so good. Impromptu
I love Lele's hair cut! 90s indeed
Do not sleep on those background vocals.
Whoooo Lelee was looking right lol
sho was! i had the biggest crush on her lol
Yesssssirrrrrrr
Boah!!! Super thick!!!
Matthew Olden you sho right!!
@@nickj3513 she seems to have a great personality
Their harmony was great through the clip.
Go on LeLee at 6:50
Leele was fly
A fly girl indeed
Back when the live version sounds just as good as the track

Definitely couldn’t ask current artist to just come on stage and sing unrehearsed and kill vocally nowadays
Ikr

Don't be sorry, this quality is good for it being 1994, it's damn good.

U and me both boo I still get chills... I just wish I had that particular song in its entirety...
@@zeebo8965 yes yes!!!
Me too 😂😭
I always loved LeeLee’s voice she was always shy to sing but girl can sing 🤗
Side note: I love when AH stopped being a host and becomes a fan, when he hears his jam! Peace!
Yesss, they took over the show. The people in the spot got a surprise, free concert. So good!!!
& Took it over by Invite. 🙂
When they sung Written All Over Your Face. Lawd come get me up off the floor! And to sing it sitting down at that!😩❤️
Them girls different!!
No really I almost cried fr 😭😭
Me too!!! They need to do a full remake of that one

@@zeebo8965 🔥🔥🔥
My girls...my favorite female group of all time
See, when you can actually sing you can just get up and sang.... no tracks, no prep, just sang...
That's also that Church background, they would call you up even if you had nothing to prepare.
My girls were sangin’ as usual! Lelee was going off @ the end! I live!
They went on commercial at the best part of Weak!! 😩😩😩 Coko’s vocals was so rawwww 🔥🔥🔥🔥‼️
I knw!!! Loud az FUUUCCCCKKKK 🔊🔊🔊🎙🎶💯💯💯
I know F sake
Yo...Coco's black dress was all me in high school..c/o 94 👩🏾🎓.... back when we had a wash and wrap!!
Look how pretty their hair was!!! Beautiful!!!! 😃 I miss the natural hair styles ☺
Oh hell naw. They sung, "Written All Over Your Face" and ain't release a cover? Naw son. They need to drop that. 2019.
Facts!! I keep searching "Written All Over Your Face" SWV on UA-cam ever since I've heard this like it will magically appear one day 🤣🤣
Ikr they were the queens of covers. Arsenio had all guests cover. Jodeci did whip appeal on here once
Here's for 2021 now, shiiiiiiit: I'm captivated!
Here for it in 2023. They killed that. Omg. I need a longer version !
Y'all leelee was looking fine! Gawd! Lol

Zeebo89 I like What We Gon' Do! Trap beat is nice on it. Also do u have the footage from Lorna's corner???
Swv is just amazing. En Vogue is my favorite. But Swv just has idk. The emotion the other groups couldn’t get it
Jeremiah Str8 agreed i love what we gon do as well... i do have them on Lornas Corner somewhere
Agreed!!! 😚💋💖✌🏽
Love this group
Arsenio was our show
Damn that "I like" remix at the end would have been a banger!
every time I watch this, I say they should've recorded a remix
Just as cute offstage as on. That’s when you cannot be photoshopped! Look at Leelee cut, Koko’s Bob, Taj curls! And the voices. God is in us people♥️
Classic group and their sound is very distinguished/ extraordinary. Love their harmonies. Def front runners in the 90s and love their still touring and making music.
I love coko so much
Written all over your face...yasssss! This is awesome, they sanging all the classics!
This a great video. My favorite part is when they walked through the crowd singing human nature remix 🔥
Right here..human nature is the remix. The killed this definitely goodtimes
Dem Girls Can SANG!!!
I never heard Leelee sing solo until I seen this video.
Tan she sang a few songs before this....
They all sing lead on the 4th album go listen you must not be a fan
@@tsmith9063 I'm not a fan because I didn't know Leelee use to sing solos? Thanks for the information.
On “If only you knew” she sings
Look up Taj singing the national Anthem in Tennessee.
Lelee sounds good!!!
I miss this show
GOD put them together for a reason..
Leanne you betta sing it GURL!! I LIKE!!!
Reginald Harper Totally agree. i wish they did a covers album so this song could be on it... and the band playin was off the chain as well😉
Zeebo89 I would live for a cover album by these legends!! #SWV🎧🎤🎼🎹
I can just see the lineup.... 1) Written All Over Your Face 2) Theyll Never Be 3) Ill Take You There 4) If Only You Knew 5) Ill Be There 6) Hes So Shy 7) Lady Marmalade 8) I Like 9) I Wanna Be Where You Are
Yesss!!! 🎤🎼👏🙌
totally agree!!!! i want them to cover I Like officially...Lelee sounds sooo good doin the lead and Coko n Taj sound amazing on that 2 part harmony together OMG
They are so humble and cool in person and its so cool that stars just used to drop by and just jam with AH! Peace!
That is my first time hearing Lee Lee sing @6:50. Wow, she has a nice voice. Now I need to hear Taj. I was here on 4/22/2023 at 2:00 a.m. My bday is on 4/28 :)
Amazing clip!! The song choices, the outfits, the harmonies... LeLee needs more leads damn it!!
i agree leanne can blow! they jus have to give her those type of songs to really bring her voice out... eg if only u knew & when love didnt hurt...
Oh to be alive in 1994. I was 7. That was a good year. We got a super nintendo and starter coats that Christmas. We definitely tuned in, in real time or somebody taped it and we watched it the next day. Those were the days 🥰
Aww look at chu! What a wonderful recollection you have... I have some fond memories too of back then... I wish I could go back...
@@zeebo8965 that 90s nostalgia is like no other because it was such a cool ass time
@humanr.e8529 sure was... I was fresh out of High School and Obsessed with the ladies
Too bad there isn't an uncut version wit no commercials...SWV seemed to have the place rockin!!! 💯
Cut up lelee on I'll be there
Coko was who Beyoncé and Brandy were looking at when they came up.
Yep. Destiny child were huge fans of theirs
@@robinblack7883yep SWV was their mentor. They used to travel with them when they were like 10 or so
Back in the day when a live singer sang in one spot and gave it their all, not dancing around the stage lip singing or trying to catch their breath and poor singing.
4:58 favorite part 🥰 Coko is everything... love her hair and outfit
Man this must have been such a treat to watch! The audience was totally spoiled lol!
Hehe yes they were loving it and even after 27 years we all still getting weak in the knees...
Justin Pascual yes totally spoiled..I would have loved to have been in that audience.
Man they can sing anything.. there were singing I like by guy? My top female group.
Wow I remembered this! I love how they jammed with Melissa Etheridge too!
Yasss!!!!
Crazy memories
Lelee always look shy but ddaammnn!! So love her n her style...
DAMN THEIR HARMONIES R TIGHT! Totally different to En Vogue and Xscape... SWV more raw....
Agreed! Although i love those groups also

Its such a shame that you don't see things like this anymore
Come on Coko with those New Jack City runs
LeLee so fine!
Leanne betta sing Michael Jackson! She should sing more; she has a good voice IDK why doesn't open up more. Coko was blowing here too on the Jackson 5 song.
Yaass mj would of been a proud man after the remix of right here then this cover of his jackson 5 classic☺
Exactly. I'd like for SWV to create an unreleased song album. Lelee has sung more leads on the songs that wasn't released.
youre absolutely right cos i have an old interview with lelee on a cleveland radio show just after swv broke up and she was not happy... amoung other things she was pissed saying, why did the label wait until they split to release songs with her singing leads... surprise me and mystery (greatest hits simitar)
Zeebo89 that's a slap in the face to lelee, since she is the founder of the group
KrewTelevision Authentics I love their song, 'Mystery', still listen to it til this day
This whole episode was lit 🔥🔥🔥
Good Lord, I'd give anything to relive the 90's..R&B and Hip Hop was just at it's peak then, and people supported it. I feel fortunate to have grown up during that era.
Damn Melissa playing guitar with SWV
I love y’all like y’all sing so amazing & beautiful!!!! Y’all fashion is so fabulous I love it!!!! Team SWV love y’all!!!! 💖💖💖💖
omg the gear and the hairstyles are giving me straight flashbacks. The early 90s, great times, innovative times
