The reason people hate the song has nothing to do with the song itself. It’s every girl who couldn’t sing yelling down the hall. Hearing the song brings back trauma

It's highly polarizing. People either loved it or hated it.

It’s called yodeling. She was trained to do that. People are not use to hearing it. Especially in RNB. I love it. It expresses drama and passion.

[@redangel833]

Maybe that's why K.michelle gets compared to her a lot. I know she got a scholarship for yodeling and uses it a lot in her music.

There was not a yodel anywhere in this song. 😂

Lmoa you tried it Keyshia Cole couldn’t sing we litte watch her take vocal lessons on her show coming up to improve her voice

[@LucidKay9114]

@@jeannoire5250 That literally what it's called.

[@jeannoire5250]

@LucidKay9114 I know there's a such thing as a yodel, but there wasn't one in this song. Y'all need to stick to whatever professions and hobbies you're good at. Because music is not it. That wasn't a yodel. Yodeling requires a quick alternation between chest voice and head voice, or falsetto. If you think you heard falsetto in that RUN, then I shouldn't even be talking to you bc you're COMPLETELY clueless. A break in the voice and falsetto are two TOTALLY different things. Her voice was breaking. She wasn't yodeling.

[@JJM-q9k]

That squeak i loveeeee i call it the vocal cry, i find it a technique not many can do well.

[@tslee3008]

Thank you for clarification cause I thought they were runs lol

[@Sunfl0w33r]

Awww I’m so glad he’s reacting to this 🥹 … Keyshia Cole is honestly so underrated in terms of her vocal ability! Her tone is so unique cause tho it’s a lil squeaky and a lil raspy it’s so strong and clear ! Her singing this live is unbelievable💕🙌🏽

[@diandracollins8324]

This song is one of the most beloved songs in RnB. Her tone is what made the song hit and stick.

[@nerdlarge4691]

People can hate but this song is classic. There's a viral video of primary school children who weren't even thought about when they song came out belting it out in unison at a school assembly. That's how you know when a song has become a true classic in the culture when the next generation starts adopting it.

[@CozyPeace3]

Her voice is very unique. I’ve always been a fan of this song.

[@easmyer4164]

This came out when I was 25 and it was huge then but what makes it even better is that elementary aged children sing this song with all their hearts now. This is a generational classic.

[@biancaeze14]

As an orch dork myself, I tried to play this song on my viola in middle and high school. Besides that, whoever hates this song needs a hug. Even kids today sing this song because of how passionate it is. I also think she sung this song in one sitting (minus the layover towards the end) because of the strain and strength in how she’s singing. Overall, this is a CLASSIC. ❤

[@db723]

I never heard of any one not liking this song 😭😭

[@underdoggplaya]

You guys nailed Keyshia Cole’s artistry and brand! She is the girl around the way. Her appeal was her relatability and rawness. And she hasn’t changed or switched up to this day. She was stuck in this lane much like Mary J Blige and Jazmine were, where all of their music was about heartbreak and struggle. All of those artist have worked hard at not being pigeonholed there while also embracing that it’s where they shine and connect the most. Keyshia has a great 3-4 album run worth reacting to!

[@Celestial26]

Keyshia Cole is a phenomenal artist. This song was an undeniable hit in the early 2000s. If you hate this song, you’re either deaf or hate classic R&B music. As an 8 year old kid, this song spoke to my soul and I had never been in love but this record takes you there. I also have to remember that everyone has an opinion and they did state they liked certain aspects of the song. You just have to be black to understand this masterpiece. Every note, harmony, and layer and stacking in this song was intentional. The “squeaky” parts are intentional and a stylistic vocal choice.😊🔥❤️

This song is AMAZING and a generational classic for sure. It brings me back to when I was 20 and just moved to NYC. My cousin had Keyshia’s album before anyone and kept talking about how amazing it was. I swear it took me & the rest of the world a whole 6 months to finally listen to it & understand. This album was such a slow burn.. it came out in the Summer and finally peaked around Winter/the top of the following year. Then she had her reality show on BET b/c everyone was so intrigued by her! This song will never die lol
