Meelah is an entire nut and I am here for ALL of the shenanigans! 🤣And that voice! Forget it! ALL the prayers up for Misha. I don't know how sis is still standing. It's only God!🙏I'm thankful that the girls had the chance to get back together performing before Irish got called home.

[@Parishdollaz0419]

1st 702 album was CLASSIC!!! No skips at all!!! Literally still stands the test of times soooo slept on, should’ve went 4x platinum!! As a man they put me on to so much game when I was a shorty in the 90s lol 🤣 such a beautifully album, I hate how we can’t ever get those good times back 😢. Much love to meelah and her family stay strong ❤️❤️❤️

[@EGYPTSCOTT882]

I LISTEN TO ALL 3 702 ALBUMS STRAIGHT THROUGH. EVERY ALBUM UPPED THE ANTI LYRICALLY AND VOCALLY.

[@dukes7599]

Meelah so down to earth!! Love her voice!! Can we get Faith Evans on next?

[@xcelmateo1956]

Yep!

[@DaLibraTay]

Meelah use to sing background for The First Lady Faith Evans

[@fine_art_wr]

She’s my favorite lead vocalist of that time IDC!!!! Her voice is so pretty and soft! So underrated! 😩😍😍😍💕💕💕💕

[@islandempress_]

I love me some 702!! I was 13 when “where my girls at” aired on tv in the Caribbean although I had y’all earlier music but that video was on repeat by students on the computer in the library . We love you meelah & misha & continue to keep y’all in prayers. R.i.P to Irish & Orish ❤ #702forever

[@Shontrellj513]

Jealous Girl - Another Bad Creation I loved that song

[@finthawap8815]

702 for life!

[@d.spigner3077]

That Star album went diamond in my house.

[@DJShawn1980NYC]

Feelings, I Still love you, Jealousy, Come & knock on my door and more 🔥 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@troyjackson122]

Same

[@troyjackson122]

Some about you. Can’t live without you. Want to be with youuuuu

[@sparkwill5337]

I’m glad the spoke on Colorism

[@MarcusMartn]

Gotta Leave is my favorite song by 702 of all time

[@jamaaltrotter3998]

OF AAALLLL TIME!!!!

[@toomuchfourU]

Yeeessssss

[@kimberlyharris2344]

Listening to Meelah talk about Zac reminds me of my non verbal autistic son. My son loves the piano and he sings certain songs. I use to sing Minnie Ripperton’s Loving You and he would sing it with me.❤

[@MM.Pink.Balloon]

I love your commitment to keeping great music alive ❤

[@DeeBaby365]

This interview was so so refreshing and worth watching 💯 everyone truly complimented each other. Meelah truly is a star✨ her personality comes off very sweet and genuine..... RIP to Iris😢 would luv to see them put out another album~

[@Itsmerhey1999]

I was laughing when Meelah talking about her son it was funny 😂 48:46 48:50 rest in peace Irish

[@fine_art_wr]

I never knew her & Tweet were cool! This makes me so happy & because they were two of my favorite vocalists! I LOVE Tweet but Meelah’s rendition of “Take Away” is the only one I acknowledge and I LOVE that song! So beautiful and underrated! 💕

[@toomuchfourU]

Thank you! It's the only version I listen to

[@indakut]

Meelah has one of my favorite voices.

[@tiffanybell4412]

Such a great interview! I have gained such a newfound respect abd appreciation for Meelah, 702, and all that they have contributed to the industry.

[@dominiquesperspective]

Love this interview! She's so pretty and talented, love 702! Can't wait to see 702 with SWV, Mya, Xscape, and Total this summer!

[@deshaun8473]

I love Meelah's whole vibe! She's such a cool chick. Love 702 as well, RIP Irish ❤🙏 I hope to meet Meelah and Mesha one day, it's on my bucket list 💯

[@dominiquesperspective]

"Places" was a super smooth song too from the third album, I love it!

[@Monica_Rights]

Meelah was/is THE VOICE of 702!! ❤❤

[@o.j.7619]

🔥 artist to have! I always admired her beauty and poise!!! ❤ I'm glad you all touched upon colorism in the industry 25:29

[@j.scottofficial]

Wow! As a 702 fan I’m so happy for this fr ❤

[@markasari6728]

Always been a fan of her voice since a kid! great interview ❤

[@xcelmateo1956]

She still looks the same! The Industry & life didn’t wear her down. There’s more work for you Meelah!!

[@TreavorUnion]

Her and Coko from SWV remind me of each other. I wonder if they're friends.

[@midnitehour1]

They are. 702 named SWV as one their influences back in the day.

[@masterl14]

i stan Meelah!!

[@bobbymorg34567]

"I Still Love You" should've been a single and had a video on the beach....

[@kaylad4486]

That would've been so good.

[@imperialrf4058]

Neptunes snapped on that track!

[@RCsBoy82]

Love you Meelah

[@kennethcopeland2936]

This was such a dope moment!! Im glad u found this channel

[@aharper12]

I forget how many songs that 702 not only recorded but were bangers!!!

[@bencromwell707]

Meelah She💋😉😚☺️😊🥰😍🤩😘 Is A Great Artist 🎨& Classy/Chocolate🍫 Superhero💯👍 #DopeInterview

[@KreativeSoul]

Great show

[@Platinumcut26]

❤️❤️

[@shayjones4807]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@BM0RESquare_XTherapist]

🎉❤🎉

[@Only1Nissa]

Nickelodeon definitely should’ve reached out about the soundtrack but they did dedicate Good Burger 2 to Irish, Coolio and 2 other actors who passed away from the first movie 🫶🏽

[@sparkwill5337]

That was thoughtful

[@JZidor]

Why she never drop a solo album her voice is amazing we gone always fight cuz I need that album

[@islandempress_]

She did. Look her up. Her music is amazing! ❤

[@JZidor]

@@islandempress_ what she that’s the record label mess I never knew and why didn’t she talk about rnb divas

[@islandempress_]

@@JZidor right!! Some labels are crap! They never promote people properly. I found out a while back when I was on iTunes as I was looking for some children music for my niece. She sang a song called “lullaby” for kids but she also has her own music as well.

[@booginas]

If Meelah ever gets tired of singing, she could sho' make it in comedy 🤡 cuz she has a ferocious natural sense of humor a la other singers like Miki Howard & Vesta! OMG Vesta 👩🏽 was HI-larious 🤣!

[@Noemyskillz]

Dmn i wanted yall 2 play the this or that game

[@RCsBoy82]

Where’s the Tweet episode ?!?!?!

[@expressivenature9079]

I much as I love Misha as the lead vocalist and i still feel like she didn’t get her just due Meelah being the lead vocalist set a tone during an era where fair to light skin black girls were always the lead vocalist

[@terrenceconaway2267]

Destiny child first album came out in 1997. There second album the writings on the wall came out in 1999.

[@Noemyskillz]

She so fine 🔥

[@midnitehour1]

She never talks about her time singing backup for Faith. There’s definitely some beef there.

[@Noemyskillz]

She talked bout bein on the burnin up track

[@Wyattjamison-bk9vs]

Agreed

[@indakut]

Let’s settle this once and for all. Meelah’s Take Away version w/Missy Elliot is the better version.

[@AriesA1i]

The ONLY VERSION I listen too!

[@arsonfree1591]

the vocal Quran.. meelah mob

[@lateshiachilds3640]

Lemisha should have been apart of this interview.

[@roselynholloway7863]

It might still be too fresh for her to speak on Irish

[@kimberlyharris2344]

Misha lost Irish, her mom and dad within 3 to 4 months. So she’s grieving grieving😢

[@MakeYouTubeGreatAgain1]

702 was an underrated group. They had the "it" factor, but jealousy got in the way. Meelah carried the group. Side note: why shades in doors?
