That Caramel Remix is still a banger. "5'5 with brown eyes, smile like the sunrise"
That's the first song that comes to my mind too.
I love that line!
@@JuicyPopEntertainment wow.
That's the only line I remember.
Oh wow claudette and old boy were both 5.5
We was asking “What Would You Do?” all year round. That joint was the anthem of 2001.
Factsssssss
Caramel Remix ft EVE 😭😭
Today’s generation need to hear this song for real!!
No tf it wasn’t 🤣🤣🤣
No frfr mannnn Vegas loved it.
The original entanglement....City High had some nice bops.
Claudette Ortiz was and still is beyond beautiful.
I remember watching her on R&B Divas and ol boy on that Intervention episode.
Facts tho
Don't 💩 where you eat. They had so much potential. 😒
💯
Facts!
Exactly they all should have been with different people forreal
Claudette Ortiz did her thing on Wyclef Jean's song Two Wrongs as well!!
Yesss, love that song.
Yeah, and where did that get her to this day? No where.
I didn’t realize she did vocals on that. She bodied that track.
@@starttheconvopod yeah, she's the female singing in the video with Wyclef.
@@wc3362 She had bad promotion. Or holyweird was just doing there thing with Beyonce. 😏
Ryan Toby did a fantastic job in the movie Sister Act 2!!!
“Oh happy daaaaaayyyy!”
Omg I was just thinking to myself if he was the boy with the beautiful voice in Sister Act 2. I thought I was bugging.
Man i knew i recognized him from somewhere
Wooooow that was him!! 😳😳😳🤯🔥
I used to try to hit that high not when I was a kid. Never worked haha
That “Caramel” remix was on constant repeat.
FAX Carmel remix is a vibe.
@@thelightseeker94 truth!
Exactly ❤
In her recent interviews, Claudette comes across as a really lovely person. I wish all of the group members peace and well being.
Robbie blaming her for a problem he had before they actually got together is sad. That intervention was sad too. Accountability. If you're blaming other people for your problems, you'll never solve the issues you have.
Sometimes getting involved with the people u work with is the perfect recipe for disaster. I loved this group. I was 18 when they came out💕
Well said never date the people you work with
Claudette is so pretty and so talented. I hate that she hasn't gotten the shine she deserves.
This is why I never mix business with pleasure...
5”5 with brown eyes, smile like the sunrise 🔥🔥 especially the remix with Eve
Yea❤😊
" Somewhere smokin rock now in and out of lockdown I aint gotta job now"
Really be hittin different when you're in a pandemic 🤦🏾♂️
You was smoking rock my G?
@@Fsojack😂😂😂
I read somewhere Claudette once tried to leave Robbie and he tried to kill himself. Also his mother called her aside and begged her not to go, even blaming her for their tumultuous relationship. Claudette should have ignored her and left him ages ago - such a toxic human being. Poor girl didn't know her worth.
Exactly everybody stays blaming her when homie was abusing her. Like what????
Look up his intervention episode
I would leave. if he hurts himself O well.....
Claudette Ortiz also appeared on an episode of My Wife & Kids as well!!
What Would You Do by City High is still a banger to this day!!
One hit wonders....💯💯💯
Lol
@@erehistruth2356 💯💯💯
Yep Exactly 😂😂😂❤😊
During the R&B Divas LA Reunion Wendy Williams asked Claudette “we’re you sleeping with both of her band members!?” she didn’t answer the question…
Because she has been talked about several times, the first relationship was abusive and her and the second giu has a kid or two and he does not give her child support
“What Would You Do”? is a classic 🎶🎶❤️
Can’t believe it’s been 20 years since it came out. Claudette is so pretty 😍 always was
They had some mess with them no question but man Claudette was and still is a baddie 😍🥰
Yet she still ended up a single mother
Yes ❤️❤️
@@AggravatedMan365 You can end up a single mother regardless of your looks. Especially if the baby daddy is🚶🏿♂️
@@beemocha The baby daddy is what? Black? I guess you failed to listen to the video. Women usually end up single mothers when they are reckless with their bodies. Just like her.
@@AggravatedMan365 Right! 😂😂😂😂🤣 I love delusional people,it’s adorable
This is why you don't mess with 2 cats within the group. It will mess everything up in the long run.
Because only 403s do that stuff. Check out the Five Heartbeats too.
@@wc3362 straight facts, classic movie too
The old saying is… you don’t sh*t where you eat…
Absolutely. Glad you mentioned this. Listen we can give her credit for her talent, but for a talented, beautiful woman, she was also pretty stupid.
I mean, what did she think was going to happen getting in relationships with both of her male group members? This group was destined for breakup once that happened.
City High = One hit wonder.
@@keepcalm1224 exactly!!!!
She's gorgeous. How can he blame drinking on her?? They always blame someone else for their mistakes or problems. Hope she finds the love she deserves ❤
One of my favorite channels 🥰💖 Keep it so real!
Always!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
So sad. I saw his episode of Intervention….singing the songs while heavily intoxicated. Smh
Why is it the best song on the album. It’s the VOCALS for me, still listen to that song regularly. Much Love to City High always, so they came out in my junior or senior year, great memories! thanks for this!
I remember when this album first came out. I ran to the store to buy it. I love the name of the group and caramel was one of my favorite songs off that album. I was listening to what would you do this morning. Hate the group had to break up. I also watched R&B divas of LA because I love all the artist that were on the show.
Album was slept on! I still listen to “Didn’t ya,” “City High Anthem,” and “The Only One I Trust”
This is crazy af because a week ago I ask ppl what song they had outta Runaway Love & What Would You Do & a couple ppl I asked said What Would You Do! That song so real that I still sing the song cause it hit home when it first came out!
The Caramel Remix is still fire to this day!!
When a beautiful woman become a doormat for ugly and broke men tragic.
She stupid so what that that da licious😂😅😊😂😮😅😂😂😮😮
Coworker relationship hardly ever work. In an indirect way they were a 3some and indirectly had a threesome. But look at the mess it all created. Was it all worth losing a friendship over?
When people work closely things get blurred.
I miss when music actually told stories.
The next KCi & Jojo? Laughs in Charlie Murphy.
6:04 she lost her house to a robbery how??? They stole her house???😂
Thank you doing this story 🙏🏿.
6:25 Well, he don't have nothin 💀
😂😂😂
😂🤣💀
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 I passed out on that one.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 still in tears over this
Love these stories so much!!
Claudette played "October" in Tyler Perry's "Madea On The Run" play
The GIF or memes between you narrating the topics of the videos are priceless 😄
Claudette is super gorgeous and her voice are uniquely beautiful 😍
I can't believe people don't comment on how much Claudette looks like Halle Berry.
I SEE CIARA AND ALSO HOW SHE ACT😊😂❤ FORREAL
The silent pauses with the shade gifs always hit perfect on these videos 😂😂😂
Claudette Ortiz did her thing on Nas' song Hey Nas on Nas' 6th album God's Son!!
As many times as I’ve seen Madea On The Run, I just realized that was her in the play. 🤦🏾♀️
I remember her on that episode of My Wife and Kids
I played their album until I couldn't play it anymore... Loved City High
Love when y’all post ❤️❤️
🥳
They shoulda never brought Claudette in, because it’s a conflict of Interest…Robbie and her were already dating…
That is true, and she should have never ever considered sleeping with the other bandmate. She slept with the whole group basically. It was an indirect Threesome...real talk.
They would've never had that hit if she hadn't joined though.
Only one who can hit the high notes singing Oh Happy Day is Ryan. He was in Sister Act 2 Back in the Habit.
Not quite keeping it in the family but keeping it in the group
I really wish Claudette's solo album saw the light of day. Her song "Handcuffs," which was co-written by Ryan Toby and produced by Stargate, is spectacular! Thank you so much for this video! :-)
Business with pleasure will never mix only be chaotic especially when a females involved damn
Why didn’t she mention that Claudette was also sleeping with Wyclef?
@kisswriters...yes! Claudette Ortiz was another Chilli Thomas. Hopping in and out of various men's beds on a regular.
Lord have mercy!
@@NikonChicFL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@portraitofalady1598 🤣🤣🤣 madness!
Omgosh the editing of this has me cracking up 😂
I had no idea she and Ryan was involved with each other and were married, let alone having a family together. So she dated both her costars in the group City High. Juicy and interesting. I wanted to learn where their music group went and listen to more of their music but came across to this point about them. And yes also recognized and remembered Ryan Toby from the movie Sister Act 2, the shy guy that was soft spoken but broke out his shell when he sung in front of the nuns to sing in the choir. He could sing nicely. I really like their song Caramel and the remix of it.
Claudette should've taken notes form Lauryn Hill & Wyclef on getting involved with band mates. It rarely works out.
loved claudette on r&b divas
Claudette was so fine and natural, I used to have a poster of her. I mean I actually found a photo of her and blew it up to make a poster lol
That's cooler than cool
My brother bought me their debut album twice because I wore it out the first time. They were a rare talent. And city high anthem was so underrated !!
What would you do got it’s shine.
Claudette Ortiz had a reoccurring role on If Loving You Was Wrong. She looked so great on that show.
I love Claudette and she really did have star quality. She could've been and should've went on to be a huge solo artist. It truly sucks that she made the choices she made in regards to men and when she chose to have kids. How could she think the group would survive with her alcoholic ex-boyfriend and new husband/baby daddy in the same group? Millions of men on this earth and you are the girlfriend of your other two group members? That's wild. She basically ruined her own career for love and I hate that for her.
Fr it’s so annoying
She lost her house after a robbery? How small is this house?
LMAO
Apparently pocket size 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂I didn’t get the connection as well ….
🤣😂😅🥲
🤦🏿...😂😂😂😂😭
I really liked City High! Good high school memories.
I remember when this song came out and it was the sh*t! Everyone thought they would be huge! They were but they faded away :(
Me and Jamie Foxx Made The Same Face at The Same Time 😑😂 The Next K-Ci and JoJo. They Were A Good Group Tho'
😂😂😂😂
FYI: The young lady that was in their video, What Would You Do, was on an episode of the dating show Change Of Heart.
Dang, too bad this group broke up over feelings tho, I really liked them as a unit.
Wow throwback lol I remember that show
That was a mess
She is so beautiful and i always loved her voice. Still listening to her Songs. I'm from germany and i always wondered where she has been. Please Claudette we need your music overseas
Caramel was my shiiiiit !!!
You grew up black if you knew City High as the group with the kid from Sister Act 2. “When Jesus waAaaaaaaaashed. Washed my sins away.” 😂👍
I always wondered what ever happened to this group, thank you for shedding light for me🌹🌹🌹🌹
She is gorgeous 😍🥰 hope everything works out well 🙏🏾
City High also sang on the remix to Wyclef Jean's Pussycat along with rappers Loon and Busta Rhymes!!
She still looks good. She can just go ahead and marry rich now. We won’t judge her, she got 3 kids to raise.
Let me get this straight you want her to marry rich for the wrong reasons?
I loved this group.
Wow crazy lol. Claudette is straight gorgeous though
Oh, wow.. I did not realize the group had some much drama between them. Thank you for sharing.🙂
Me neither. I loved that group.
Wow I saw Robbie on Intervention some years ago, hope he is doing well. He had a lot going on and the drinking did not help. He seemed to really love Claudette, but could not keep himself together and kept spiraling downward. Hope they are all well.
I was right on time 😊
Claudette’s life sounds like her song what would you do.
What would you do is still my favorite banger hit ✨
They both hit it. The end!
What would you do? Is still my joint 🔥
What would you do if ya son was at home 🎶 crying all alone on the bedroom floor
@@brandonbates9259 Cause he's hungry?
And the only way to feed him is to
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money.
And his daddy's gone 🎵
You forgot to mention that Wyclef was also romantically involved with Claudette.
Yup
Of course…
😱 fainted
Goodness...she passed herself around, SMH
@@jamaicanjoyh6883 or MAYBE all the men in positions of power constantly putting her in pressured situations could be part of the equation??? Rather than the vulnerable woman just getting busy?! or maybe Just MAYBE she’s not “passing herself around” and just wants some dick? Y’all act like these men aren’t out here smashing anyone they can at any moment but want to make a woman a villain for getting hers too? Proximity plays a part in most relationships. Are you ok?!?!? What in the misogynoir is this fking stupid ass comment.
I remember her on an episode of My Wife and Kids as Jrs love interest
I use to listen to that album on repeat. I loved it! City High Anthem is such a deep song.
Such a shame things happened this way. I was really liking City High. Both Claudette and Ryan are so talented. It was a pleasant surprise to see her on R&B Divas. Wish them and their family the best. Robbie however needs professional help…
This is why we don't shit where we eat
The first song i heard from them was "Best Friend"... i loved that song and the album was good 👍🏾
I still got all of their albums music is dope!!
I remember Ryan in sister act 2. Good movie.
Cheers on the edit, 'cause That Jamie Foxx clip at 1:12...... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Claudette really shouldn’t have done that
Done what?
@@so.many.obstacles Date both members of the group she was in. People seem to be overlooking that because she’s “beautiful” and “sings like an Angel” 🙄
@@CRYPTICB3AUTYPeople are overlooking it because ol boy was an abusive drug addict
@@lance6391 two things can be true at the same time.
Claudette is messy. Ryan is slightly less messy for getting with his boys ex. Robbie is toxic.
She's so pretty.
Genuine Genius Comes With It's PitFalls & There Casualties ...
Storytelling was crucial in music… i wish we still got that.
Crying all alone on the bathroom floor cause he hungry. Who wrote that shit lmao 😂
“Bedroom floor”
Probably Wycleffe!
🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I absolutely love that 2001 anthem “What Would You Do?”. I’m sorry they didn’t get to highest level. Long live City High!
I was *JUST* listening to Caramel ❣️
