..This is one of those tracks that your 40-50 year old self hears and then immediately rediscovers the same dance moves & flexibility you had 30 years ago.
im 14 years old and i absolutely love this song, im so glad my dad brought me up with this era of music. i know no one my age that knows this song so i feel proud.
"Criticize" is a splendid example of 1980s pop music. The song has everything a hit of that era should have - energy, a dance groove, a powerful vocal, and infectious positivity. Even after so many years, it has retained its charm and still manages to get people on the dance floors.
This song is so GOOD and fits today's relationships.I had an ex-fiancee who criticised me all the time when I lived in Philly,so,I left the relationship and joined the army. LOL. Was so much HAPPIER being a single man again !!!! LOL.
Summer 1986...Cruising through the streets of New Castle Pennsylvania listening to this music on a cassette tape in my emerald green Ford LTD coupe. Great memories! Blasting it loud for everyone to hear ❤
you were in the same area i was at that time. Also, i was a Hersey Park, Pennsylvania a year later, the summer of 1987 when i heard this song the second time.
But they want you to use their service....yeah right. They must be losing the licenses, and if so then that is a sign of service quality and variety going down hill.
for ALL the DJ'S OUT THERE.. THIS SONG IS IN THE SAME KEY AS MADONNA'S HOLIDAY, IT BLENDS PERFECTLY AT THE END. YOU'RE WELECOME...............GTA IV ALL DAY!!!!!!!

Its Soul
And their range of electronics for production, from synth to old school cassio, You can hear that difference, and it's so sublime.
Great song😍, Especially the extended version
Really well said. This song has stayed with me for years.
Alexander has always been my favorite singer! Every song he sang was a gem. This one is a song you can listen to on repeat like 100 times
Real Talk!!
Same here
Background vocals love this 🔥🔥🔥
It’s the amazing Lisa Keith
😮❤
I saw him and Sharell in 1987 with Ready For The World hell yeah what a Blessed Brotha Much Love Alex .
All the 12 inch vinyls of Alex's singles were absolutely great.
bought this album while stationed in Misawa Japan. loved it and still love it!
Alexander O'Neal Criticize 1987 is one of my hippiest and until now it's the most danceable
AGREED. But,it also has a good message that's still relevant for today's society. You can-DRIVE-your loved away by constantly criticizing them.
From 3:35 till 4:06 complete and utter eargasm. Hardly ever heard such devine piece of harmony. Still have the album on vinyl.
I know what you mean. Pure ecstasy!
🔥❤️
Yeeeees
808 cowbell.
Deep delicious groove x
My favorite song from Alexander 🎵
That intro is so 🔥
This song is so GOOD and fits today's relationships.I had an ex-fiancee who criticised me all the time when I lived in Philly,so,I left the relationship and joined the army. LOL. Was so much HAPPIER being a single man again !!!! LOL.
Best song of the 80's

I love this track.
I love Alexander O'Neal so much. I love this remix. We used to sing this at work when the manager left the office. 🤣
Great tune , used to play this at an 80s club called chameleon back in early 2000s, good times
This song is still relevant today,talking about complaining women in relationships.And a GREAT dance track-TOO. LOL.
Thank you Auntie 😊❤ My Era Class of 93 🎉🎉🎉
Absolutely timeless classic to this day ❤❤❤❤
GTA IV Brought Me Here.
Alexander, Lisa Keith, Jellybean, Jimmy, and Terry💜🔥

Spotify removed this version and the original version. I am completely gutted over that asinine decision. The original and remix are both so amazing.
It’s ashamed ):
But they want you to use their service....yeah right. They must be losing the licenses, and if so then that is a sign of service quality and variety going down hill.
It’s back now
Bro, just please consider owning the CD, you can have the song forever, rip it to any device you own.
Such an underrated song
