Eve and her best friend Andrea tell the true story behind her song "Love Is Blind". Aired on the Queen Latifah Show (2000) Like on Facebook: Klassic Throwback TV
I wonder if Eve realizes how many lives she saved with this one, MINE being one ☝🏻. This song gave me strength in one of the lowest and troubling phases of my life. It was on EVERYDAY, some days on REPEAT. It gave me strength to be my own damn best friend. Eve is a beautiful soul. Thank you girl
I remember when this song came out, I was young and didn't know what it all meant....unfortunately I went through this with my kids father..I'm blessed to be here today.
PTSD, Stockholmes Syndrome, Internal battle in the mind, heart and soul, etc. Although this was years ago, I immediately started to pray for her friend because those wound are deep rooted and you can tell by the expression on her face she had suppressed all kinds of feelings when it came to that male. Only way I'm able to thrive, forgive, and heal is because of God.
The thing that sucks is it would take the grace of God to get a female rapper to make a song like this now and it be on replay on the radio. Even in this Social Media age...we still need a track like this. Miss early 2000s :-( ...Times have changed so much!
today is important that neo femminsts shake their asses, show their breasts in public, but the y would not protect women of violence or encourge them to respect their body
There was this classmate in college that had this nice looking boyfriend... she was beautiful and they made a nice looking couple. I used to wish I had “their relationship”... they ended up married with kids. She was doing well for herself, joined the military and started her own business. Well 2 years ago the husband killed her and then took his own life after the police found him. It really woke me up to stop being envious of crap I know nothing about and everything that glitter isn’t gold. It also made me more aware of red flags... that crazy controlling crap isn’t cool to me after that. Fine people can be crazy too! Now her kids will grow up without both of their parents. I said all of that because this songs always reminds me of her 💕
I was just born when this aired 💯 & my mom made me listen to this type music...she always said this is real music, people told stories thru their music back then
my cousin was killed 1 month after our family reunion by her BF. murder-suicide. ladies and men, get out of an abusive relationship bc ppl will say shit to scare you so they won't suffer the consequences but fuck that, yo life is more valuable than anything. love who you are and have. a relationship with God and he will send you somebody that deserves you! and definitely treat you like a queen/king
So sorry for your the loss of your cousin... Ive never personally experience domestic violence from a partner but I know quite a few that has and still is going thru it... My biggest fear is one of my sister being seriously hurt or killed by the hands of their partner. If it ever happens to me in which I pray that it don't. Looking at and reading these stories give me enough strength to leave. Run like hell and never look back. He was a true coward for taking her life... But an even more coward taking his own and not doing the time for his crime. He didn't serve his time in the physical but I'm 100% sure he's serving it in the spiritual wolrd. God sits high and looks below... So he really didn't get away with anything. Praying for u your family and children if she had any...
I'm so sorry for your lost. I had a high school friend, who was killed by her boyfriend while she was pregnant with his child because he didn't want to mess up his future, and she wouldn't get a an abortion.
I can relate cause I was in a abusive relationship with a guy that wanted rush relationships with me he just met me and when I didn't wanna have sex with him he forced me down and I couldn't get up so I had to try to run for my life and he caught me.
I love that song u could tell her heart was poured into those lyrics and she meant every word and it was PERSONAL song brings tears to my eyes every time i hear it eve is a real one ❤
Eve is such a great friend to support Andrea's healing during that painful time. I'm so glad her best friend got out that relationship. I hope the best for her and her daughter.
That's crazy I never knew this was based actual events.. I cried like a baby at the age of 15 to the video of this song and cried like a baby watching this.. I pray all is well with her..
Most of the songs is actually wrote are very personal and autobiography written from the heart and written from real life experiences and feelings that's why I love her up to this day I'm listening to her music in 2019 because Eve is a legend and she always will be
That's not love though 🤷🏾♀️ Love is patient, kind, etc. Love is misconstrued these days. Love thyself this way! Be patient with yourself, be kind to yourself! If theses things aren't happening is NOT love. Love is as clear as day. That's HATE!
U can tell eve was more emotional because her sister was in the audience.....u could tell she tried to avoid eye contact.....and u can tell the 3rd verse hit her sister hard knowing she could've died
That was my song back then, I remember listening to it over and over to learn the words. “How could you beat the mother of your kids? How could you tell her that you love her and don’t give af if she live”
Knowing Andrea's story, I feel that so much I used to be in HS asking my home girls, why they just won't leave? And then I went through this shit myself. With a small child and living it. I appreciate the queen. Queen Latifa. Everything in Eve's song is relatable... Sad.
Never let anyone put hands on you! The first time should be the last. You're beautiful, you're worthy, and if they can't see you for what you are, or don't appreciate you for what you are...keep it moving.💗 Be strong people, live long💯
This episode of the Queen Latifah show really had me in a emotional place cause I had a friend go through the exact same thing but I saved her from him and he is now in prison for the rest of his life
I remember listening to this song with my best friend in high school. We loved it and memorized every word. Little did I know I would go through an abusive relationship just a few years later and even though states divided us, she was there for me still. I’m sitting here, fourteen years later in a happy, healthy marriage crying remembering that time.
I hope so. But, at the same time people are in your life for a reason or a season... Eve could have been her season ( with no bad, fallout or feelings)
Being in an abusive relationship is no joke especially when it's the father of your kids. My situation started out wonderful then he went from an angel to a monster, a whole 360° one way in front of my family then behind closed doors another. I'm thankful to God everyday I got out of it, 7 years now and thankful my kids are good as well. Can definitely relate to this....😥💪👪
This story is so touching to me because I can relate , I'm alive but have met some that didn't make it rip . I truly love this song. I have two girls and they know what I would do if a punk a$$ put there hands on them. They live miles away and I would be there in a heart beat
Abusive relationships always start out so subtle.. It might start out "playfully" telling you not-so-nice things that eventually you believe and it diminishes your worth. Then it usually escalates to something more physical. Women if it happens even ONCE please leave! If you stay the trauma will be so bad that often people never overcome it
eve's friend is so strong for allowing eve to share her story❤ women still go through this everyday & it's not talked about as much, but it should be...they are so strong & I love that song ❤❤❤
Eve used to snap back in the day omg she was my favorite rapper. Female rappers talked about real issues then. This mess today is just fake and auto tuned
Nicki, Iggy and Azealia happened. I want more female MC's like Missy Elliott, Lauryn Hill, Lil Kim, Da Brat, Rah Digga, Left Eye, Queen Pen, Lil Mama and MC Lyte. All their songs were different, memorable and just tight. Sometimes I wish I grew up in my mums era, I love listening to songs she used to hear on the radio as a teen.
It's the message in the song for me! Eve is so classic.. when female rappers was actually rapping with substance. I wonder what her best friend is doing now and what's her life been like after this.
My mom was in an abusive relationship and I was only 6 when it all happened I understand you can't just tell someone to leave it's not that easy because you feel trapped and even if you do leave they will find a way to find you.. I saw a tiktok about abusive relationship where a girl called a pizza place to order pizza but it was really the cops. It wasn't real but it is helpful
I wonder if Eve realizes how many lives she saved with this one, MINE being one ☝🏻. This song gave me strength in one of the lowest and troubling phases of my life. It was on EVERYDAY, some days on REPEAT. It gave me strength to be my own damn best friend.
Eve is a beautiful soul. Thank you girl
I heard that playing on my Radio
A fantastic thing.
Lavender Jack...Swooping On Down.
@@LavenderJack540 🤘🏽🙂🎸⭐🎤
my sister use to love this song..yo she loved Eve
@@megz5553 that good
Back when rap music had real meaning but still was bumping
Right?
Still bumpin' in 2019...
Not true eve didn't even write the song. Notice how the black eye was just dark makeup?
aderline johnson that’s not the point the song had meaning is what I was saying
@@torytakken5177 there was plenty of songs with no meaning in the 90s....so stop it
So her best friend didn't die like the song says...Thank God!!!
"Based"
Right!!!
It was a reenactment of the situation, and what could've happened
She could be dead inside.
Still depress from her trauma
Jane Doe yes depressed
Love is Blind is not only a great song but it has a great message!
Amen
You a god damn lie!!!
True
Love is not blind,people are just stupid and desperate
Love can be blind sometimes unless it's by God
Her friend is remembering all the pain but she respects Eve for writing that song. You can tell by that little smile on her face at the end
I remember when this song came out, I was young and didn't know what it all meant....unfortunately I went through this with my kids father..I'm blessed to be here today.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I'm happy you're still here as well Goddess. Blessings To You👑
Klaudia G ❤️❤️❤️
Klaudia G seriously that was me thank god I got out too
Congratulations on surviving. I I hope you are living your best life
She doesn't age. Neither does queen Latifah

Ascension 2000 true
Angel Johnson big facts
This is why I love Eve.....she is a very supportive friend
Ikr

Yesss lol "Ride or Die B*tch DOUBLE R!"
lmaooo 😂
Eve was such a cutie with her short hair
She still gorgeous
PreyForForgiveness so pretty
Very
Her friend still seems like she was still dealing with the after effects of being abused. I’m happy she has a strong support system.
Eve needs to come back.
👌
????????
+Travis Weathers huh
+tarrelle walker stfu
sure do we need tge real hip hop female artists back and for good
her friends expression during the performance is hard to watch. so many emotions
I was a little bothered by her friend's blank expression
PTSD, Stockholmes Syndrome, Internal battle in the mind, heart and soul, etc. Although this was years ago, I immediately started to pray for her friend because those wound are deep rooted and you can tell by the expression on her face she had suppressed all kinds of feelings when it came to that male. Only way I'm able to thrive, forgive, and heal is because of God.
that's a deep ass song gangsta
Nobody would EVER guess THIS hood chick would marry a WHITE billionaire??!!!??!! # I AIN'T mad at cha EVE...God Bless boo
ikr..
god bless??
bitch is a traderrrrrrrr
Latoya Harvey never know who you fall in love with
emilio pucci a trader to what ? To love
Trader for marrying outside her race! Please, that's foolishness. Love is love damn it.
Her friend look like she was in a daze prob remembering everything she went through
I know i cried watching her reaction
Exactly what I felt
The pain is still fresh even though it's over.
Probably grateful that she had a different outcome than the song.
Yeah she is still traumatized by you can tell she hasn't healed yet. Often we feel numb as well
queen Latifah hair so laid right here
Yasss. Always
Latifah hair ALWAYS laid
ALWAYS. And she's never had a problem wearing her own hair (no pieces)
ALWAYS BEEN LAID STILL LAID.
Always!!!!
I love how Queen always show respects and embraces other black female artist.
Can we just appreciate Queen's hair? I always loved her wraps. Give me life!
I'm sure she's proud of eve for this song
The thing that sucks is it would take the grace of God to get a female rapper to make a song like this now and it be on replay on the radio. Even in this Social Media age...we still need a track like this. Miss early 2000s :-( ...Times have changed so much!
yes we do need something positive to listen to on the radio
you ain't Neva lied
Right.
Nick Lee it did get played at that time
today is important that neo femminsts shake their asses, show their breasts in public, but the y would not protect women of violence or encourge them to respect their body
Eve's friend looked so sad in the audience while she was singing.
I think they eventually had a falling out after this.
+canibusnj Really? Over what?
Missrere1984 Jealousy from what I remember.
+canibusnj Eve and her friend had a falling out because. the friend was trying to get out of abusive relationship.
TheChronicDocumentary DreGame That's not true, it was something like jealousy from my recollection.
There was this classmate in college that had this nice looking boyfriend... she was beautiful and they made a nice looking couple. I used to wish I had “their relationship”... they ended up married with kids. She was doing well for herself, joined the military and started her own business. Well 2 years ago the husband killed her and then took his own life after the police found him. It really woke me up to stop being envious of crap I know nothing about and everything that glitter isn’t gold. It also made me more aware of red flags... that crazy controlling crap isn’t cool to me after that. Fine people can be crazy too! Now her kids will grow up without both of their parents. I said all of that because this songs always reminds me of her 💕
Hmmm are u from NYC??I kind of heard of a story like this
Eve is too real. One of the best.
Queen Latifah needs to make a come back with Talk Shows. I Loved Her Show❤❤❤❤❤
That's a true friend
I love this song!!! 21 years later and it still has a POWERFUL MESSAGE!!!!!
Eve sounds good singing the hook
I actually remember watching this. If only we could go back to this time in Music. Smh
I was just born when this aired 💯 & my mom made me listen to this type music...she always said this is real music, people told stories thru their music back then
+Antania Stone I actually like music from back then 💯 & mind u I'm only 16. I don't only listen to music from my generation 💯💯
+Antania Stone kudos to you 😄😄😄😄
It's there but these females get overlooked..I think..but very true I love music because of lyrics.It helps you to release pain...
True classic. Glad her friend made it out alive.
God good 🙏
example of A REAL FRIEND.
my cousin was killed 1 month after our family reunion by her BF. murder-suicide. ladies and men, get out of an abusive relationship bc ppl will say shit to scare you so they won't suffer the consequences but fuck that, yo life is more valuable than anything. love who you are and have. a relationship with God and he will send you somebody that deserves you! and definitely treat you like a queen/king

I'm so sorry for your lost. I had a high school friend, who was killed by her boyfriend while she was pregnant with his child because he didn't want to mess up his future, and she wouldn't get a an abortion.
+Santoya Johnson Sounds like a fatal attraction episode I've seen... Very sad tho. Dorry gor your loss as well.
A.Marie Noble
😢I'm so sorry to read this.
If only female rappers wrote music like this and not about popping booty and money 🤦🏽♀️
There are plenty but no one pays them any mind 😩
TRUTH
Also Queen Latifah herself
Right
Right. You damn near don’t get to see the woman’s face on these videos because her ass is all up and out. Damn shame how low we’ve sunk as women!
This song needs to be released.Many females nowadays need to hear this.
It is its called love is blind by eve
Rereleased I think saying
I can relate cause I was in a abusive relationship with a guy that wanted rush relationships with me he just met me and when I didn't wanna have sex with him he forced me down and I couldn't get up so I had to try to run for my life and he caught me.
Damn, that song still hits the ❤...
Yeah I cry eveytime I hear song 😢
DaNNy D classic
Before it was a amber rose bald head , it was a chick named eve
And from Philly just like amber 💯💯💯💯
Except that one of them is a queen with positive influence which is EVE
Facts !!! 😂 My step sister name TWEET
And before that there were a million African queens rocking that look, but yes, Eve is gorgeous. Not an Amber fan but to each their own.
Jada Cole yes!
I love that song u could tell her heart was poured into those lyrics and she meant every word and it was PERSONAL song brings tears to my eyes every time i hear it eve is a real one ❤
Eve is such a great friend to support Andrea's healing during that painful time. I'm so glad her best friend got out that relationship. I hope the best for her and her daughter.
Queen Latifah and Eve still look great. The haven’t age at all
That's crazy I never knew this was based actual events.. I cried like a baby at the age of 15 to the video of this song and cried like a baby watching this.. I pray all is well with her..
TICARRA WASHINGTON eve did that song with so much conviction that felt and I have never been abused. But I could certainly tell it was from the heart
Most of the songs is actually wrote are very personal and autobiography written from the heart and written from real life experiences and feelings that's why I love her up to this day I'm listening to her music in 2019 because Eve is a legend and she always will be
tears because though you might not have died from love it can play with your emotions and allow you to accept things your not used to.
know thine self
That's not love though 🤷🏾♀️ Love is patient, kind, etc. Love is misconstrued these days. Love thyself this way! Be patient with yourself, be kind to yourself! If theses things aren't happening is NOT love. Love is as clear as day. That's HATE!
she's a beautiful person and a true friend
U can tell eve was more emotional because her sister was in the audience.....u could tell she tried to avoid eye contact.....and u can tell the 3rd verse hit her sister hard knowing she could've died
Domestic violence is so real 😭 I lost a cousin and a childhood friend to Domestic violence RIP Jordan and Nalisha 😢🙏
You can tell shes been through so much. Her eyes tell the story.
Eve sounds good live as she does on her record, sounds so authentic. ❤
She needs a man that will take care of her protect her, and not abuse you.
Kalinondatraq this is old u probably was in Pampers 😂
Hotmess Ouuee 😂
Yeah I wish girl stop going for a man who don’t give a shit but controller you...
@@hotmessouuee2846 this was before I was born and what does that gotta do with anything
This is why I am such a fan of Eve. I love her and her music.
Eve voice is so soft.
Still one the greatest songs with a powerful message
As a man, Eve would be that friend I would need.
I know thats right #RESPECT
Andrea is so beautiful! God bless her! Thank you Queen for raising awareness! Eve's song is clear that she loves her bff.
I performed this song at a talent show at my college back in 2003 and I won
I hope dude is locked up and his face stepped on😠
Nina La Bella hey beautiful!.. wassup, do u have sm (ig/ fb)?..
Nina La Bella He maybe getting his face step he going get his...
Exactly
That was my song back then, I remember listening to it over and over to learn the words.
“How could you beat the mother of your kids? How could you tell her that you love her and don’t give af if she live”
Knowing Andrea's story, I feel that so much
I used to be in HS asking my home girls, why they just won't leave? And then I went through this shit myself. With a small child and living it. I appreciate the queen. Queen Latifa. Everything in Eve's song is relatable... Sad.
This brought tears to my eyes... I made it out... Lost myself in the process, but I made it out.
I hope you’ve started to find yourself now! So glad you made it out and praying for your healing.
Never let anyone put hands on you! The first time should be the last. You're beautiful, you're worthy, and if they can't see you for what you are, or don't appreciate you for what you are...keep it moving.💗 Be strong people, live long💯
domestic violence is so real
Yes it is I should know
This episode of the Queen Latifah show really had me in a emotional place cause I had a friend go through the exact same thing but I saved her from him and he is now in prison for the rest of his life
Marcus Jackson Wow. You're a real friend. Thank you for saving her.
Maleah malcolm she and I still talk and he's in prison for rape and murder
Marcus Jackson wow that's crazy. That could have been her.
I have friends on the police force so yeah I'm lucky
I remember listening to this song with my best friend in high school. We loved it and memorized every word. Little did I know I would go through an abusive relationship just a few years later and even though states divided us, she was there for me still.
I’m sitting here, fourteen years later in a happy, healthy marriage crying remembering that time.
Good to know white people liked Eve too
It's funny how it kinda always starts in an early age .when were most vulnerable..but good that u said enough.
Her friend is so strong. I hope she’s still doing well.
She is
@@kelamo7067 how you kno
@@bighomie5504 lol. We kinda grew up together
I almost shed tears watching this
Leina Sol I did
damn who's cutting onions in here
Ecinat M i know Right! 😢💔
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Ecinat M lol
I wonder if they're still friends
I hope so. But, at the same time people are in your life for a reason or a season... Eve could have been her season ( with no bad, fallout or feelings)
I was thinking the same thing. Lol 😂
I came back here to see who was wondering that too. See I'm not the only one. Hope so though!
Eve went Hollywood now things change. Hope not
Good question
this the kind of show she should have had on television
I am now 32 and have always remembered this episode. I used to love the original Queen Latifah show. I miss these talk shows.
Riiiiight now they are just messy petty ratchet drama! the same mess over and over.
LaWanda R her new show would've been good if they didn't try to market her to white america. It's seem like they wouldn't let her be her genuine self.
Courtney Anderson I caught just a few episodes. I didn't care for it that much.
i remember watching this live in college. goddamn 16 years flew by
aww imma cry too.. love EVE..she need to come back out with some real shit like this...
EVE WILL ALWAYS HAVE MY UPMOST RESPECT. YOU CANNOT FIND TRU FRIENDS AS SUCH.
that song is beyond deep,
This was very brave of her glad she got out. Eve is such a timeless beauty.
as many times as i heard this song this the very first time getting emotional so actually see the woman this song was inspired by is just too much
i know. i have tears in my eyes
I feel the same way, never cried while singing and listening until today
Damn.. This is sad i didnt know this was a true story.. Hits home cause i have a friend thats going threw the same thing... :(
peace to your friend. xo
Shawn Bailey thank you .
Yes freedom writer Eve does need to come back!
Eve, a best friend for real !!!
She was about cry in the end. That song hits hard
Eve is so pretty 😍
wow I'm glad this young woman is OK..
Being in an abusive relationship is no joke especially when it's the father of your kids. My situation started out wonderful then he went from an angel to a monster, a whole 360° one way in front of my family then behind closed doors another.

Sandra Young 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This song always meant so much to me. To watch a friend endure this kind of pain is a prison itself. I am so glad that Andrea made it out.
Abusive relationships always start out so subtle.. It might start out "playfully" telling you not-so-nice things that eventually you believe and it diminishes your worth. Then it usually escalates to something more physical. Women if it happens even ONCE please leave! If you stay the trauma will be so bad that often people never overcome it
It had meaning before but it means so much more hearing the story and how it matches with the lyrics man😫
Look at Eve she looks amazing right here but she just continued to glow up... 💕
If I was there I would've been like "WE LOVE YOU EVE" and "YOU GO GIRL" Lmfao 😂👍.....
Eve was a real friend
eve's friend is so strong for allowing eve to share her story❤ women still go through this everyday & it's not talked about as much, but it should be...they are so strong & I love that song ❤❤❤
Those days with the heavy lip liner!
that trend is actually back now! lol
Eve used to snap back in the day omg she was my favorite rapper. Female rappers talked about real issues then. This mess today is just fake and auto tuned
LOVE EVE. STILL RELEVANT SONG
Oh how I miss there being a VARIETY of female MCs......what the hell happened??
+Missrere1984 Exactly!!!
Music industry has changed. It's sad.

Too sad!!
yup I know right don't know what happened

I want more female MC's like Missy Elliott, Lauryn Hill, Lil Kim, Da Brat, Rah Digga, Left Eye, Queen Pen, Lil Mama and MC Lyte. All their songs were different, memorable and just tight. Sometimes I wish I grew up in my mums era, I love listening to songs she used to hear on the radio as a teen.
