Such a great performance. K-Ci could really blow back then. He can still sing now, but it's not the same. Back then he would sing so effortlessly...the power and soul in his voice was so addictive. Memories. You don't see nobody singing quite like him these days....
I think Mary was caught up with emotion at 3:23, which she had to stop singing for a few seconds before she was able to sing with the group again. You can actually feel it if you put yourself there. I think this song touched her personally, since she struggled with drugs early on in her career. How great was it that she was able to sit next to an R&B icon and sing a song that related to her personal experience.
Actually, take a listen. Jodeci sang the verses in the wrong order and/or skipped verses, then Stevie came in and just sang the missing verses when it was his turn. He corrected on the fly. Seamless
I have never heard this before. It just reaffirms for me how talented and how big a deal they were. I think they are still very relevant today too; they are the inspiration for so many.
Stevie said "Everybody remember the words." And they didn't. Funny. Papa still went with it. I love how he's vibing with these younsta's. Probably reminds him of when he was a tike around Smokey and Marvin. Great footage.
I definitley agree!!!They are my all time fav group also!!!! Long live the memories of JODECI!!!!Its sad they are no longer making music as a group!!!!
Yeah at that time she was really going through it. Those were her rough times she sang about and talks about in interviews. Listen to her song My Life. You can hear and definitely feel her pain in that one. I think this is a Lil bit before she made that song.
Its a damn shame that we don't appreciate the real rnb talent that we have had in our generation just to be be exposed to the bullshit that we we have now !!!! omg it's a horrible state to be in!!!!!
They Surprised Stevie in the begining Intro he Started to recognize His Songg but becuzz of The Lower Key that devante is Playin it In..Only K.C Started the Song Off on the 2nd Verse..lol...But Over All I Like The Way Devante Plays This Song On the Keys..a lil Funkier than The Original.........Usually Stevie Plays The Keys.. At Least they Have the Love for Stevies Music....i luv the Lyrics
You Will Know Yeah! SANG Mary cant lie Pain Mary was better than Happy Mary but im glad she found some peace...WONDER CHILD MY FAVE ARTIST EVER and JODECI Fave R&B Group Ever
Ur right.K-ci just changed up his style.There is a radio interview of him on here and he sang forever my lady acapella he sounded exactly like the record version like he was 21 all over.I think he is really comfortable and feeling his matured voice. Bobby Brown did the same thing and i saw a clip of him singing like he was 19 and it blew me away.All kinds of folks on the net saying he lost his voice but he got it still.
@Vaswang, this was the Arsenio Hall show. This was right after their MTV Unplugged Uptown. Their parents were in the audience (Mary J. And the Hailey's) but it's not shown here.
@rametep100 amen! DeVante is a severely underrated musician in his own right - declined yet advised by his royal badness Prince to learn and play his own instruments...
i believe he said he didnt no the lyrics beacause its a tribute for him he was seeing if the new generation now his lyrics cause he open the doors ....GENIUS
IAMTHEGUNNA When we are feeling down and don't know how xyz is gonna get done. It hurts me even more to know that we don't have any music at all that can uplift us outside of Gospel!
ha....o boy , i saw them on here last year. i tell u what i see if i can find em again cause i didn't save em to my list. i'll hit u back with the links if the video's are still up on here. give me a min.
ha, i can't find the interview with k-ci singing , i think they took it down for some reason. the video with bobby brown singing is on here still , just type in 'bobby brown birthday bash" . i'm still trying to find the other and if i do i'll hit ya back ;^)
i'm guessing the interview with k-ci singing like he was younger, was taken down or the channel closed down. it was a radio interview with somebody but i don't remember the guys name. k-ci has a 4 or 5 part interview with jamie fox but it wasn't with him hosting the sho. i can't find it anywhere. if i run across it again i'll point u too it k.
@jgutter34 If U actually knew what the hell U were talkin' about, you'd know that it was Mary who was constantly trying to put hands on him. This has since come out many of times by those who were closely associated with their relationship.
DeVante playing for Stevie was a beautiful moment...he can hold his own against the greats. Brilliant piano player.
Bamboo Those long fingers!!
Stevie Wonder, Jodeci and Mary J. Blige...enough said!!
[Sheds a tear] - Something we may never see again, but what a great moment. Devante playing a Stevie song for Stevie, beautiful moment....
There will never be another Group with so much Soul & Talent as Jodeci. Music like this is truly missed. Thank you Izugarria for posting the Video.
KCi Hailey is one of greatest vocalist of our time....
...was 😔
@@pillowjones k-ci can still sang check out his ig live nd the concert he did in Baltimore
Devante killed the keys!!!!! Just hearing him play, makes the video.
Devante' is in the ZONE!!! Yall hear him playin on the keys?? NUTS!
Devante Swing getting down!!!
I miss this K-Ci and JoJo. Their voices together were unbeatable. Wish I could go back :(
For real
Such a great performance. K-Ci could really blow back then. He can still sing now, but it's not the same. Back then he would sing so effortlessly...the power and soul in his voice was so addictive. Memories. You don't see nobody singing quite like him these days....

Stay Blessed Baby
That’s the anointing coming through. KCi is still anointed.
He can still sing!
Effortlessly. I swear KC was a great in the making. JoJo was underrated as well
I like how Stevie is just groovin' with them while they sing his song.
I think Mary was caught up with emotion at 3:23, which she had to stop singing for a few seconds before she was able to sing with the group again. You can actually feel it if you put yourself there.

Real Music. The 🐐 Stevie Wonder
wtf happend. what happend to Gods like this? #dyingbreed 😻😻😻😻😻😻
I don't know,but I know you're a goddess
Three of the top five voices ever. Crazy
Nobody will ever out sing Mary, K-Ci or Stevie.
Stevie said "Everybody remember the words." And they didn't. Funny. Papa still went with it. I love how he's vibing with these younsta's. Probably reminds him of when he was a tike around Smokey and Marvin. Great footage.
Mary was in her own little world, back then, I'm glad she made it through her storms and because the women she is today. Been a fan since the 411!
I definitley agree!!!They are my all time fav group also!!!! Long live the memories of JODECI!!!!Its sad they are no longer making music as a group!!!!
Beautiful song! Jodeci did a good job. Stevie!
I Love Stevie Wonder!
Such talented ♥️ 👀 individual sssss
Wow and wow and just wow. One of my favorite Jodeci performances
The reason Mary is so sad is definition of irony she realized the song she singing is basically her life at that moment if would give anyone pause.
They loved Stevie amd when u hear stevie u understand where JoJo got his Inspiration
Still remember this all these years later.Well from 2001,on a VH1 Arsenio special.Its one of the best performances,God,they make me wish I could sing!
Mary looked sooo sad...perhaps its meh....but she looked and sang with ah HEAVY heart..
I agree! I wonder if the pharmaceutical verse got to her. But she was also going through a lot with k-ci at the time too.
Yeah i never noticed but she seemed definitely affected
Like ah little gyul..that has been reprimanded/scolded
Goin thru Alot it is written all over her face
Yeah at that time she was really going through it. Those were her rough times she sang about and talks about in interviews. Listen to her song My Life. You can hear and definitely feel her pain in that one. I think this is a Lil bit before she made that song.
K C killed it.
Jodeci was a beast jodeci 4 life! My fav group of all time
Its a damn shame that we don't appreciate the real rnb talent that we have had in our generation just to be be exposed to the bullshit that we we have now !!!! omg it's a horrible state to be in!!!!!
Say it!🤦🏾♀️
😭 Mr.Dalvin showmanship
Thank you for bringing back a part of my childhood
Can we go back to these days..

They Surprised Stevie in the begining Intro he Started to recognize His Songg but becuzz of The Lower Key that devante is Playin it In..Only K.C Started the Song Off on the 2nd Verse..lol...But Over All I Like The Way Devante Plays This Song On the Keys..a lil Funkier than The Original.........Usually Stevie Plays The Keys..

Jodeci in their primes were untouchable. KC out sang Stevie and he was barley trying.
You Will Know Yeah! SANG Mary cant lie Pain Mary was better than Happy Mary but im glad she found some peace...WONDER CHILD MY FAVE ARTIST EVER and JODECI Fave R&B Group Ever
SANG WONDER CHILD!
a masterpiece and nothing short
I remember this like yesterday

Ur right.K-ci just changed up his style.There is a radio interview of him on here and he sang forever my lady acapella he sounded exactly like the record version like he was 21 all over.I think he is really comfortable and feeling his matured voice.

I miss oldskool r&b:-(
i got goosebumps
Mary's head was down for the entire song. Damn! Hard times for MJB back then. But, look at her now. And where is K-Ci now? Mmmm....
BEAUTIFUL!!!
OH YEAH so Good .
I dont know if I have ever heard someone with as much basic talent as Kci. He could have been one of the greats
He is one of the greats everyone has up and downs
Very uplifting
Amazing Stevie..
I agree! CLASSIC!!!
Nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Luv this
@Vaswang, this was the Arsenio Hall show. This was right after their MTV Unplugged Uptown. Their parents were in the audience (Mary J. And the Hailey's) but it's not shown here.
@rametep100 amen! DeVante is a severely underrated musician in his own right - declined yet advised by his royal badness Prince to learn and play his own instruments...
i believe he said he didnt no the lyrics beacause its a tribute for him he was seeing if the new generation now his lyrics cause he open the doors ....GENIUS
Classic song wish jodeci would make new music
cheer up mary
1:10 Dalvin was about to join in, but forgot he only played drums
My wish is for Steve wonder to be able to see
u caught that nice
@ misssassysabrina kc and Jojo still on tour ... But it's been a long long time since they dropped an album but they still doin they thang ....
KCi and Stevie , i never noticed until now had the same vocal sound, only Stevie’s is a more higher pitch.
Laester Dickson-Willis Jojo sounds even more like Stevie when he sings solo.
That’s someone they looked up to
Esse coral 🪸 é tam magnífico que merece ser melhorada a qualidade da imagem
REGARDLESS OF THE VERSES BEING SWITCHED UP AND LYRICKS CHANGED A LIL...THEY ALL DID A GR8 PERFORMANCE! CLASSIC RNB AT ITS FINEST!!!
IAMTHEGUNNA When we are feeling down and don't know how xyz is gonna get done. It hurts me even more to know that we don't have any music at all that can uplift us outside of Gospel!
JoJo sounds like Stevie on this 1
Love it...wrong verse and all.
Whoelse wishes they could trade voices with K-ci or Stevie? lol
can somebody make a piano tutorial please!!!
great ear
Woweeee🙏💖😇🎶✝️
I think Stevie was singing to all of em up there
Why isn't this on iTunes
ha....o boy , i saw them on here last year. i tell u what i see if i can find em again cause i didn't save em to my list. i'll hit u back with the links if the video's are still up on here. give me a min.
now peep this>that sounded AMAZING!!!!!right, but k-ci, jojo, mary j., and devante were all at the time struggle with substance abuse IMAGINE
What Drugs was DeVante on exactly?🙄
ha, i can't find the interview with k-ci singing , i think they took it down for some reason. the video with bobby brown singing is on here still , just type in 'bobby brown birthday bash" . i'm still trying to find the other and if i do i'll hit ya back ;^)
damn!..now that is singing...mm mm mm
i'm guessing the interview with k-ci singing like he was younger, was taken down or the channel closed down. it was a radio interview with somebody but i don't remember the guys name. k-ci has a 4 or 5 part interview with jamie fox but it wasn't with him hosting the sho. i can't find it anywhere. if i run across it again i'll point u too it k.
This Version is in Another Key than The Original...
K-ci look just like Silkk The Shocker the rapper
An with the mary j an k-ci drama only those two know the real truth
and (vintage) mary :-)
does anyone have all of this? I wanna hear more!
I'm sure someone has them doing Lately where Arsenio brought out Stevie earlier.
@tgrigsby26 Lol i would sing all Jodeci's hits
k-ci look just like silkk the shocker
Wow where can I find that? Can u send the link?
@jgutter34
If U actually knew what the hell U were talkin' about, you'd know that it was Mary who was constantly trying to put hands on him.
This has since come out many of times by those who were closely associated with their relationship.
He said "If I could remember the words." I think he was making fun of himself.
Where can I find these videos
@slimms013 What show was this?
VAswang Arsenio
Sweat
They sang the words wrong...and right in front of Stevie himself! Still sounded good though.
Curen$y - Jodeci Tape, anyone? ✋
Mary looks so uncomfortable
Yeah sounds like Stevie held back, thrown off by the wrong key of his song and over adlibing youngsters
I think so too. The piano was off key. K-Ci was over doing the riffs and occassionally singing out of key...anyway
stevie sung a part wrong too
