Loved Pebbles and Vanessa Williams. Both are amazing

[@wesleyshelton1986]

black girls sure do rock

[@Moonlava722]

I was pregnant when this song came out. He is 32 now and a Florida Highway Patrol!

[@orlandorobinson9369]

Good thing Arsenio Hall had a show back then. She sang this song live on his show, and sounded great.

[@cliffordbeverly3551]

SHE- IS- GORGEOUS- man!

[@wesleyshelton1986]

pebbles sure is a black queen

[@LeeLee-i6c1p]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@NellLacosta]

I am just confused. The caption says this performance was in 1991, but was not there a lip sync scandal with Milli Vanilli just months prior, at most a year before this performance? How is it that they get shamed and blackballed and she could do it? I am very confused.

[@ReelinInTheYears66]

Simple answer Milli Vanilli claimed to have been the singers on their album when in fact it was someone else. Pebbles like thousands of artists throughout the last 100 years have lip synced their music in film and television but they actually sang on their records.

[@Bellasie1]

The way he was staring at her was almost obscene.

[@stevenyates4535]

I got pebbles Pregnant and had some great kids

[@michaeladdison6001]

Is it me or does she and halle Berry look like they could be sisters

[@dominiquedevereux7205]

They do favor now that you mention it. Except for the fact that Halle is taller, if you gave Pebbles Halle's famous short mushroom 🍄 bowl haircut from the 90s when she starred in that movie "Boomerang," they would look identical.

[@MarcPagan]

Sometimes, a lip syncing performance or video is so bad, it's good ...this is just a plain awful fake live performance.

[@davidbrunson8887]

It's not her choice

[@d1inonly]

Pebbles was awesome back then. But Rick Dee's was that dude.

[@stevenyates4535]

My girl! We would have made many pebbles for children! Plan for two but practice for 200!

[@ohheybih]

I never seen her do all this dancing. Not sure how I feel about it.

[@ohheybih]

The singer shouldn’t be dancing as much as the dancers. That don’t look right. Singer just supposed to do a random move in sync with the dancers every now and then.

[@nerdynap]

This song was a banger back in the day but Pebz is NOT a live performer. Terrible vocals, basic choreography and awful lip-syncing.

[@booginas]

I guess that's why she quit performing & pursued into her real niche's --- being a scamming manager/producer bilking her artists of millions by offering them shady contracts 📃 *AHEM TLC 👩🏽👱🏾‍♂️👩🏾!*

[@davidbrunson8887]

Why watch then?

[@nerdynap]

@@davidbrunson8887 Free will, shits and giggles.

[@ninobrown5363]

Some of those shows didn't allow live singing, so the artists had to Lip Sing Besides, She's dancing her ass off throughout the whole video. I'd rather watch her!

[@stevenyates4535]

Married five times..

[@ricksanto8955]

Terrible.. Sounds like some sort of Janet Jackson ripoff.

[@d1inonly]

You REALLY don't know R&B music.
