The incredible thing about this song is that Erkyah said in an interview that she improvised (made up) the whole song on the spot, in front of this huge audience and she did it, in one shot. That fact that the band kept on beat with a steady melody and the background singers harmonized to a song they'd never heard is pure talent. What's also commendably extraordinary, is that the background singers instinctively knew to add their parts of " Call Him", "Come On Come On come on" while doing it on key and in unison. That is amazing.

[@Jazzlove148]

Eric Clapton "Old Love"...wow, just heard the connection 17 years after I first heard this song.

[@theaudiophilestore]

That was so ahead of its time nobody in the audience got it -yet. ;-)

[@kolasoljet4697]

theaudiophilestore they would have got it in the states that’s hood shit to call Tyrone those people in Brazil don’t know how we get down in the south we talk shit!!! She shit talkin

[@juvisage8427]

@@kolasoljet4697 It was a new song and most of them probably didn't understand the lyrics cause we speak Portuguese over here. Go watch any footage of other artists here in Brazil and you'll see we can definitely get down but we have to look up the lyrics first haha

[@CrimsonThorns]

Man...I love this lady. Such an amazing talent to tell a story with song. Badu rocks!

[@omaratherly7973]

This song sounds very good in live performance.I like the drum work out,it is so musical.I often play drums on this song while playing it on CD record.My favorite part is when you have to go on the cymbals and come off on the bass toms.Erykah sings very well and i like the jazz style of the musicians.

[@RoisinElektra]

Thx for uploading this video...cutting it at 4:13 wouldn make it perfekt to hear...wonderful:)

[@Bonitaymorena]

@anniechristien Ohh thankyou!!! I remember seeing on youtube D'angelo's concert in Brazil and that was lovely!!! I really hope he finishes his new album and it comes out in 2011 or 12. Him , Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill and Maxwell are my favourite singers from the 90s and since Lauryn Hill is back to performing and making and album, I really hope he will too. Thanks for working so hard to get this on youtube!! Bless you!! :)

[@anniechristien]

@Bonitaymorena D´angelo´s concert was amazing! Da bomb!Pure funk! The incredible ones - Erykah, Maxwell(love him!), Lauryn and D´angelo - saved the late 90s. I really love black music and I think after Soul II Soul we had no true artists around back then. And I´m so glad they´re still making (good) music. I´m very excited about Badu´s concerts in Rio de Janeiro (next Saturday) and São Paulo (next Sunday). Baduizm in Brazil!

[@yungtrey0207]

Now this is music

[@kamariarichardson8667]

This still my shit in 2013 and i was only 2yrs old when she made this

Such ancient comments down there!

[@333hoodboy]

i like this Erykah Badu

[@sandytexasresister9282]

Who's watching in 2020 QUARANTINE AND BLM✊🏾

[@jonnie106]

I gotta say, it's remarkable how in Brasil, the ladies don't appear to really hear or internalize the vocals here. The live version stateside is RIFE with audience feedback. Completes the jam.

[@anniechristien]

Hi, Jonnie! Badu came to Brazil for the first time in 1997, eight months after she released Baduizm. She was barely known here. But I already knew her from MTV Brazil. Her concert was part of a Jazz Festival's New talent stage. Thanks for your comment.

[@jonnie106]

@@anniechristien Hey AnnaStesia! Thanks for the clarification. Makes clear sense. As a man, I've always taken this tune in the context that I've known a few "Tyrones" in my life. Their girlfriend never paid my way anywhere, but I have helped get homeboys shite! A band I'm in is working this cover so I have the soul experience for it! Thanks for explaining!

[@chocolatethundercherry143]

SHE'S SO PRETTY !!>> She put a BUSTER ASS nigga in his place real quick in this song. #tbt #myjam

[@darvonfletcher4561]

Yeah

[@anniechristien]

Marco C, Erykah and Womack are double trouble! Two great artists!

[@lunaraccoon]

Where is the same video as they use at MTV is that this one?

[@kingsleylaurent562]

Make an NFT of this and watch the money come in because this is a valuable piece of digital art. The quality of the film, the artist, the popularity of the song, the fact this was her first time, all make this valuable.

[@lucasarruda1257]

Hey, do you own this full show on vhs?? please upload it! :)

[@RoisinElektra]

Would!=D

[@griffis95]

Damn dont no one notice she has the unk on stage that represent the womb of a woman a much more....

[@lalonde2012]

Those were the days but I was happy when Angie stone brought out brotha but many women of all colors had a Tyrone

[@KJWoodsy]

Pay yo way and yo homies way and sometimes your cousins way

[@sergio25ditto]

Buying shit for your lover should be a mutual thing. She's talking bout a stingy Tyrone.lol

[@Kam_t]

nope what's wrong with your man getting you gifts?

[@brashanilewis8445]

i think u beta call tyrone,......but u can't use my phone!!!

[@arthuremanuel9399]

am wondering the same thing is she pregnant?

[@e40baby1]

is she pregnant in this video?

[@KHAlilxv]

Was she pregnant here?

[@kaliewitherspoon]

Haha

[@Bonitaymorena]

@anniechristien Yeah Soul II Soul are really good too I remember them yeah the Neo soul thing was so good but apparentely now adays it's not respected as much and people see it as a snobbish title or something. That's terrible just shows how little people appreciate good music today they rather here a stupid club or billboard hit. I'm just thinking whatever!! I'll stick with the quality music I can't stand the stuff on the radio so I listen to blog talk radio music shows instead or youtube lol!

[@KidTektv]

lmaooo "you know the deeaaaaaaaaaaaal......nigga"

[@ReneMacias1978]

Wow these lyrics are so trashy. Don't think ill be letting my girls listen to this. How classy!! Sade would be proud. "Sarcasm"

[@annajones8941]

Rene Macias see the problem really is, its the fact that you don't recognize a true artist who is just as GREAT as Sade. so before you trash a sistah to uplift another sistah. check yourself first and rearrange it and come at it again.

[@CassieHeart]

I love this song

[@malaikacoleman2315]

Loveee it!
