I love them as a quartet, but this energy as a trio is what’s up!
I agree I agree !!!
Yes much better with just the 3
Because there's no negative energy overshadowing them.
They seem more relaxed and happy. The vibe aint OFF
You can see the difference. They are more vibrant!
What I noticed about this three LADIES is, they all have some common personalities. They are easy going and forgiving. That’s why they get along well.
Well said. That’s makes total sense!
They were all friends in high school. Tamika introduced them to Tocha when they were forming their group. I agree that these 3 are similar. They need to just go on with these 3 and give us new music.
The way Kandi went from singing them in as the melody, and transitioned to the bottom note!
I love her tone tbh
@@kareemmorset3349 watch her singing 'black velvet' on 'the masked singer'. She left no crumbs!
She is a wonderful singer. People who be talking mess about her voice knows nothing about singing & music.
THAT PART!!!!!
Her voice control is crazy love her voice
They can definitely prosper with the three of them and go far, and open new beginnings and business opportunities and relationships..God bless them
💯💯💯❤
Facts
I love their chemistry! When sis comes around it's like the air is being sucked out the room. I know that negative energy be draining...
They can't hear you in the back!!!! AMEN!!!
I love Tameka,tiny,and Kandi together! They are great just the 3 of them!, boys to men and destiny child had to make changes and did great!
You can't force Latocha to be apart of the group but you sure as hell don't need to suffer because of her. We all must choose our own path and if this ain't her Jordan year, well so be it. You ladies are super talented and blessed to still be able to do this with such a massive following... still. You have so many hits to carry you through. Be great and prosper❤️
So true 🎯💯 she may be the lead of the group but all three of the other ladies HAVE wonderful vocal ability as well Latocha has this complex that she's better without the group (giving that Five Heartbeats vibe) and she always wants to go solo when things are going great for the group wanting to fumble everyone else's bag
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yesss round of applause for Xscape👏👏 I'm glad they're getting the recognition they deserve... I wish them all the best ❤️
I like them as a trio. They seem more chilled.
They all look really good right now as well as if they’re fashion was being influenced. I saw a clip of Tocha talking about she was called the big girl so maybe the other girls would cater to her with everything.
Kandi’s voice is truly an instrument 💜💜💜
The girls said, the show must go on and I'm so happy about it👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I feel you, Kandi. Coming into 2023, I just had a good spiritual feeling about this year. THIS IS MY WINNING SEASON❤
From a business standpoint latocha on some bs. Let’s be clear if kandi never reunited with them years ago she would still be washed up and wouldn’t be making money. They have gotten two reality tv shows, successful tours and are finally getting their recognition and here she go with wanting to go solo again. Girl please
💯💯💯
This!!!!
This!!!!
Exactly and it ain't going nowhere because the age group she need is not checking for her as a solo artist at all and she gone find out the hard way. I wouldn't let her back in the group either
BINGO!!!!!!
Good harmony is just never gonna go out of style. They sound so good
The thing about this group the girls can all sing ❤️
Right
Yes they all can sing in this group XSCAPE, just like all the ladies can sing in the ladies group EN VOGUE R&B music at it's best..!!! 🎙️🎧🎵🎶.
Everyone can sing in swv to
Yes they all can but no one bigger the group love all the female groups
I mean coco had the biggest ego but gotta love her cause they still can come together and perform cause a lot of groups can’t get along and still sing together both are my favorite groups
These women are so beautiful and talented. I’m so happy that you guys are getting the recognition you deserve.
Tocha always sabotaging the group, I'm glad they pushed thru without her this time.
Annoying asf 🙄
Exactly. They need to vote her out of the group.
Is she Libra or Pisces?
They don’t need her
They will do great without her
Drama is toxiccccccc!!!!
@@tulip-ye5vh Nah, everybody can't follow Destiny's lead. They tried that before. They are all lead. Kandi & Tamika can only do certain songs to be catchy. The ♏ is more universal or do more but ain't all cover songs to lead. #puzzleridesbook
I honestly didn’t even notice tocha wasn’t there with just the 3 of them the energy feels so calm & refreshing I wish them well moving forward I hope they finally let tocha have her SOLO career for good!
On a positive note, I love that the interviewer is an older woman.
First thing that stood out to me👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
These ladies still got it!!!!! I just listened to one of my favorite songs'' Understanding'' earlier in my car this morning. I sung it real loud as well. We all need understanding in our daily lives everyday. Im proud of them for getting the recognition they deserved after 30 years in the music industry. Cant believe its been 30 years already!! Time has flown by quick! Whether its 3 or 4 or not, yall keep pushing to the limit. Loved me some Xscape always. No matter the obstacles they're dealing with. All I can say!
You are right about that we all needs understanding cause half of the people is so lost to the world
Facts!
Honestly This Feels Sooo Good with Just The Trio.
When you're trying to have a group book tv shows concerts you got to come together. If 1 person want to do another then let them go solo. All are talented. But Kandi have greater following. Tiny does too. Love SWV & Xscape
Exactly and they really tried hard with Tocha
Y’all got it as a trio!!!! No looking back! Positivity only! ❤
I love their energy as a trio it feels so much better without what's her name
Not what's her name.😅
LFMAO 🤣
Dead! TF 🤣
@Kiana G. Right! Almost pee'd on myself from laughing 😂
Uh huh you ain't right... LOLOL
BUT YOU RIGHT!!!
I love Kandi Get the bag Burris soo much she is the epitome of a woman she’s always there for woman supporting forgiving I love her whole heartedly 🫶🏾❤️
The energy with just the 3 is so much better
THEY should have BEEN gotten all the glory‼️‼️ they are hands down one of the best girl groups of all time❤I still listen to them 2023
I do hope they eventually work things out with Tocha, but it makes me happy to see how tight the girls are now especially Kandi and Tamika🥰
Right
That can only happen when Tocha and her husband give Tamika her 30k back
@Sherrie Marie Wait a minute. I haven't caught up with Xscape since Tocha showed up to a gathering with a different dress from the group. What happened with the $30,000?
@@deontyler960 The whole first episode is on UA-cam babe. You better get you some!
@Angelic Ok... I will check it out. You know, I'm glad Xscape reunited, but before they reconciled, and during the tour my biggest thing is Tocha Scott.
She has a beautiful voice, but I said back 3 years ago she and her husband are the major part of the drama. Her spirit just seems off to me like a cutthroat opportunist just to get ahead no matter who she cross.
I guess I have to listen to this video and look at the other video you've suggested. I hope Tocha changed for the better.
Their songs are unforgettable ❤️ so glad to have grown up in a era of some amazing hits.
Yessss❤
They should become a trio and move forward. LaTocha is trouble.
I like when it’s just these 3 ladies
Even though Tocha isn't there her voice greatly impact the group, but Tamika voice is very versatile it can fill her sister shoes in some of the song.
I Think The Girls From XSScape Are Really Pretty
Folks too old to be surrounded by toxicity. I'm glad they didn't allow Tocha to stop this next phase. I'm here for it. They still be SANGIN
Love this. I’m so happy Xscape is getting their flowers in this generation. I always felt like they were underrated.
Yaasssssssssss They dont need LaTosha. I'm not being mean, but that's just facts. Kandi voice gives me chills when she hit that high note. All of them have beautiful voices. Their voices are all different, but that's what makes them so great.
I will never understand why they couldn’t put the drama to the side and be professional (especially Tocha). You are part of a historical girl group, you are stronger together than apart. Get on the road, sing, make alllllllll that $$$, break up and launch your solo project AFTER you get off tour where u reconnect with your fans. But if they don’t have it together after 30 years than they will never figure it out, I guess 😢
Thanks to greedy Tocha.
She was the only one who couldn't put the drama aside. She kept making drama as a stall tactic.
Pride, ego , greed Tocha
And don't let her come back when she don't go Solo again it's a rap Tochia
That's what I'm saying do it for the Culture girl and Stop the madness already!!
Yes, a group of three. ❤️ #NoMoreDrama
I love these ladies! I’m so proud of them! They were apart of my era! Their music stayed in rotation! 💞🦋💞🦋💞
Tasha plays a I'm David Ruffin and these are the Temptations 😭😂
"THEY COMIN TO SEE ME!!"
@@michaelwordlaw2605 😭😂🥰
@@fightingtemptationswithshe5430 😝
C'Mon 3...I'll still pay to see them. Once they're happy, we're happy.
....I feel sorry for Latocha seems like her husband is the problem and even after he has publicly humiliated her in many ways she is still with him. Not sure how that album gonna do but her place is with Xscape
At this point just pull a destiny's child and only use three members
Right.
And En Vogue
That's how I feel 😂
Exactly
Period. Rebrand as a trio
I'm so happy Tamika realize that she was carrying her sister load she even confused she turned on Kandi.
Confused?
Huh? I think you wrote a run on sentence.
@@StubbyCub About what
@@ukan.536 What do you mean
@@celestonematthews6873 Nothing bad, just trying to understand your comment is all. The last part just threw me a bit, just wanting to clarify.
Tocha is toxic. Let Tamika sing her stuff since she can SANG ❤
They sounded the exact same without Tocha and I love that! ❤❤❤ keep pushing ladies
2:56 & 2:59 everybody smiling but a certain someone on the left in both pictures. VERY telling. Congrats XC3!
We all over her shxt at this point...if they don't kick her out...we will..the fans
She always looks stupid and you can feel the nasty energy she exudes in the photos. She's always the only one not smiling.
I’ve always felt that LaTocha was gonna be a problem in the group. Even back then I felt it. But the remaining 3 seem to get along so greatly! 💯💯💯
Jordan year purr💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
We winning and got no time for drama😘🙏🏼✨
I really wish they could get it together because they really sound wonderful together.
Gosh I Love Love Love ❤ 💖 XSCAPE!!!! They Sound Good even With 3!!
YESSSSSSSSSSS it’s the harmony for me…. If the 4th group member don’t ride with y’all please keep going!!!!
Wait!?! Dose this mean they’re X3 now!!! If so I like this these 3 right here… Bye other girl…💅🏾
After seeing tamika mom and her sister I'm rooting for tamika get your money my black queen
Rooting for Tameka 😊 prays she’s able set some boundaries! get away from her sister and mom and allows herself to grieve (these toxic relationships) and heal.
I love Xscape❤❤ so happy they are getting there flowers while they are still here
Even tho Latocha is not my favorite, it seems too odd to see a show without her. I wanted to see y’all ( again, I’ve seen Xscape perform live many times) but there is magic when all four girls are together.😢❤❤❤❤
I’ve been looking at the comments and I finally see people on the side of the group and not Latocha.. Tamika and the other ladies has been saying this about her sister for the longest and it’s sad we live in a world where not even someone’s sister can say what’s going on. Wish Latocha well on her endeavors and move with the trio. Before there are claims she’s being iced out or kicked out.
Yesssss I love Xscape,they are the best female group ever and Mrs.Harris is my favorite,they are 🔥🔥🔥💖💖🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹
I wish Tocha can just get over whatever issue is going on and just come together…they sound good but it’s magic with all 4💕
Tocha is way too beautiful and talented to be acting like that. I pray that she heals and grow up.
Exactly
let’s not forget, a big reason they broke up in 99 was because TOCHA wanted to go solo, and pretty much said “screw the other girls.” her solo career ended up flopping…seems like she’s trying to do the same thing again, and i doubt the outcome will be any different.
77
It’s amazing that the three of them can perform and not miss a beat. Cause If Coco quit SWV…
😂😂😂
Do you mean Coko ?🤔
Seeing them without Tocha is like a breath of fresh air. What we've always wanted honestly!
En Vogue transitioned into a trio and still became successful. Destiny's Child transitioned into a trio and became multi-platinum. So I guess it's Xscape's turn
Maybe now it's the time.
Well said
It was kind of complicated for En Vogue tho. They were never as succesful, commercially viable and strong after Dawn Richards departure IMO
This 3 is xscape, I love Latocha but they don’t “need” her. I love her being there but they can hold their own as a trio.
I love xscape
Shit you'd never know there was a fourth 🧐🤣🥰
Xscape can survive without Tosha because Tamika voice is just as strong if not better. She can sing her all her sisters parts . Kandi & Tiny have the strongest following because they been out here for years still relevant. They can make it without her and trufully I hope they just buy her out she tgubks she's above the group let her go chase her solo record deal but if it don't vwork out stay where you are don't come back bringing that negative bitter energy back to the group cause you mad you can't achive sucsess outside the group. AND PAY YO SISTER HER MONEY BACK
That part!
I am so glad they are moving just the 3 of them!!!! They don't need all that drama!
I Really Enjoyed This Video So Much
Traces of My Lipstick is a 🔥 album. I’m so glad they’re back together.
I love the three part harmonies ladies❤❤❤y’all keep thriving and carrying on!!!!! I see a show about them moving on as a trio, I see new music, revisions of our favorite songs, and so much more!
This is dope I did not know they had a show together legendary stuff I love it 🎤
The 3 of you is all we need🎶💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
We need SWV next......
I'm from Atlanta and I love xscape
Tocha is going to regret this big time when the girls go on to be successful and her solo career suffers... I think her husband is the big problem... He probably is the cause of all this... Smh it's always the husband being greedy
Honestly, I Think She Think She’s Bigger Than The Group. She was this way before she got with her husband.
IDC what anyone says: Husbangers and Momagers can be VERY good or VERY problematic. One thing about them tables: they always turn.
Even if she do find solo success her husband’s attitude will ruin it.
Absolutely
Tell that to ACRAP Rocky
@@DarriusDeshun Tocha is nobody's Beyoncé and she needs to understand it. Maybe she will learn the hard way like Omarion and his big ego as well. She was NEVER bigger than the group at any moment in time and still isn't today. It's over for her and that nasty attitude. She has burnt too many bridges. She needs to hang it up
I love escape, always will, always routing for them
just realized latocha was also not apart of the photoshoot on the wall behind where xscape is sitting. i guess she’s not going on tour as well.
6:09 I LOVE IT!! "2023 IS OUR JORDAN YEAR, OUR WINNING YEAR"
They need to do an album!!! It can be without Tocha…they been on tour handling it without her anyway!! I can’t wait til they come to DC next month!!!
All members or nothing
I got my tickets 🎉
Yes, Bye Tosha
They did an album without Kandi.
A Fan4 Life❤❤❤❤❤❤ 3 Queens
Compare this interview with the interview they did all four of them. The air is much lighter here
Although they sound amazing as 3. I can still hear the difference when one is missing. I really hope that at some point they can get it together for good this time.
They sound great regardless
Damn right Kandi....I'm always rooting for you ❤️
I was so confused back in the 90s when they broke up. I had just bought the album. Loved it and was looking for more. Then it was announced they were no longer a group. I was disappointed to be honest. Loved them from the very beginning.
Tocha keeps using the group for her solo acts....It's disrespectful because she keeps doing it secretly.
That was a beautiful opening, reminding us that, oh yeah, they can truly Sing..🌷
I would absolutely support THIS 3 piece!
I bet it’s so hard performing without your sister. ❤
Always love to see them. God has his hand in everything even when folk is absent. Keep pushing ladies, best wishes.
I like Tocha, but I understand the need to keep pushing forward. Everybody can’t always come. Sad but true.
Yup it works they sound great as a trio (with Kandi) 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 at this point thank Tocha for her services and let her go.
It's always that one. Look at Envogue one of the best in the 90's.
Kandi Is One of the best Music writers In Music🎼🎼🎼
They sound great it just sound better with all 4 I hope they get it together I don’t like her attitude but she is needed for that great Xscape sound we all know and love
They sound ABSOLUTELY AMAZING this just goes to show that they can stand on their own 6 ft 😂 much love to them 😊❤ Didn't Tocha release her song right before the show aired 🤔🤔 but the song is amazing ❤
Let Tocha's TOXIC, THEIVIN ass go !! Yall's Energy is PERFECT together as a Trio❤️
They need someone that sings like her, PERIOD
This reminds me of New Edition, Ralph thought that he was better than the others in the group and branched out on his own, but then the 3 became Bev Biv Devoe and became famous. No one man or woman is bigger than the group!!!
Even the picture in the back has just them 😂😂😂
