Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground live on MTV (HD)

[@Zamstein]

She was legitimately ahead of her time in her vibe

[@sethwetzel974]

That's probably the truest statement ever about Kelly. She's 100% legendary.

[@Etienne_H]

Or it just keeps going in circles and since Gen Z copy everything 90s, it comes across as ahead. I think it was very contemporary, but it aged well since it's just good artistic work.

[@eyeofbass]

One of the largest screw-ups in music history... the band members dismissing Kelli Ali, essentially destroying what they had on the basis of ego. A failure to recognize what fueled the band, what made it special. Hint, it's not the instrument playing. She continues to mesmerize me, and I hope we'll be seeing more of her soon.

[@mogadeet6857]

Nailed it. Such a shame it was cut short.

[@chasphotography]

Nothing is permanent. Enjoy what you got while you have it and flow from there.

[@maddieforever6099]

Fully agree

[@michael69040]

I don't think the core founders of the group was psychologically stabile The drummer and bass seem like side men. The singer is probably better off far apart from the the founders.

[@Konketsuthelonewolf]

They were probably like "Damn why aren't our records selling"..........oh wait that's because we kicked our front woman from the band...........their is a reason why they call the singer the front person.

[@DougMPA]

It's like she's singing right to you. The eye contact, the tone, dang the 90's were the best.

[@zacharias7284]

The eye contact with the camera(s) is really intense. MTV’s live music production was great.

[@michellebeckstrom6110]

I miss the 90's so bad it's like a physical pain

[@sexgod57able]

​@@michellebeckstrom6110I hear you

[@Konketsuthelonewolf]

Agree one hundred percent........it's like her eyes were seducing me.

[@SugarToast1]

@@michellebeckstrom6110 Same. Miss the sense of freedom and general vibe of everyone chilling regardless of background. Society has become so divisive now - it feels like how I imagined the 50s and early 60s to be.

[@tomservo5347]

Kelli has awesome stage and camera presence along with a beautiful voice. It's like she's staring straight into your soul through the camera.

[@soulcraft_84]

This is one of the few songs where as soon as I listen to it I’m immediately back in the mid 90s.

[@futvnyc]

now everyone is a zombie

[@michellebeckstrom6110]

Epitome of cool, virtually no new artists could sound this cutting edge.

[@RJ-qo6qj]

When music was phat.

[@TechnicalDifficulties]

this performance is absolutely amazing, takes you into another world

[@sabyrk]

Intensely amazing!

[@sabyrk]

I love how the arrangement is completely different than the record, but it's also strangely very much in-line with it as well. It's interesting because the live configuration of that five-piece lineup sounded a lot more like the next two albums. They were much more organic on stage than what you hear on Becoming X. Boy, anyone who caught them in person during that era is really lucky.

[@mred2801]

I haven't left yet

[@gambitfreak1859]

This song is completely flawless.

[@tomjulio3700]

Hey, the 90's called...and I want back in.

[@starinheaven8922]

i love Kelli Ali & Sneaker Pimps ❤ so much nostalgia

[@gummo6596]

Was lucky enough to see them back in 97

[@hillerm]

She has a mesmerizing presence.

[@shaysmith4023]

God this takes me back.. such a pivotal time period. So many emotions.

[@ashbran5125]

This song takes me back to when I was a kid lol my sister use to rock it dropping me off at school happy times ❤️🥲

[@jodysteck322]

Incredible. Period. Still wish Kelli was with the band.

[@LMNY1]

Wow wow wow. Actual live performances (not synced) are so rare. Thank you!

[@darynaaltman8996]

magical perfomance

[@kappawear]

Pure magic... I can't get enough...

[@Doom0690]

The one song that instantly sends a rush of nostalgia coursing through me! Never knew this version even existed! Phenomenal

[@briansesztak86]

Kelli Ali is one of the most underrated singers of all time

[@regplasma7906]

Kelli is the only one that can sing this classic song.Period.

[@ewokingdead]

Her eyes are so mesmerizing ❤️

[@MrK-ti5lt]

Love this song. Wish they would have kept things together and made more classics

[@ericdavid199]

Outstanding version

[@sabyrk]

oh my GOD this is so mesmerizing I can't stop watching it. THANK YOU for posting this!

[@KitariItsSomethingRottenHere]

*Top 10 Worst Decision by Bands: Firing the best vocalist you could ever dream off having. Kelli Ali was the heart and soul of Sneaker Pimps.*

[@KcYoh]

i agreed, they fucked up

[@attentionaddicts]

Terrible decision driven by ego If Chris wanted to sing they could have had 2 singers.

[@KitariItsSomethingRottenHere]

@@attentionaddicts *Indeed, they could've combine their voices and make it even more beautiful, take Puscifer for example after Maynard got Carina Round in the Band, now the project sound better than ever.*

[@jonathandill3557]

I got the impression they were jealous of the focus on Kelli and were upset they weren't being lauded as serious artistes. I tried to listen to their subsequent albums, but the music seemed overwrought with too many layers to hear any layer clearly, everything blurred together into sonic mud. If I can find HD audio I might give it another shot, but really didn't come through direct from audio CD.

[@nhguy9950]

Those eyes ❤️

[@youtube.commentator]

Beautiful

[@BryantFrancis-sx5wn]

This is the best live version I’ve found so far ! Coming out of my Bose speakers makes me hit repeat over and over 👍😃

[@christheghostwriter]

Look for the live version where Kelli is wearing a short white dress with a red design on the front. It's even better than this version

[@trysometruth]

only weird thing is you can't hear the accoustic gtr shown in the performance, and you can't see the electric guitar heard in the performance

[@ericbajen9500]

I was 12 yrs old when first heard this in 96🤘🤘🤘

[@bigchunk1]

I feel old because I like this music so much more than what's new today.

[@Zamstein]

The intro they played in this version is the only one that should exist

[@stereofidelic67]

Eyes like that, so rare.

[@laraduff256]

Always epic - 25 years later ( or more ) epic

[@Kim_Suvorov]

Kelly Ali - one of the taleted girls on this planet. True fans - know it all.... Absolutely a gift finded this video on KZbin, and after i realized how is awesome was this band, too bad what they ruined their group. Downtempo forever !

[@VictorReyes-cj8qs]

Kelli's eye contact is second to none! Extraordinarily, sexy woman!

[@angelbernal8412]

Trip hop one of my favourites genres of the music

[@Stonecoldcaller]

I miss these guys sooooo much. One of the coolest vibes a band could have

[@secondmouse2650]

Wow so beautiful, the song and the singer.

[@sdh41]

Bass player sets a really good groove underneath.

[@moretoknowshow1887]

Kelli Ali became a folk singer, which is wild. She still has solid pipes...

[@phoenixcathiam]

Indeed _agreed_ *True* 😊

[@joshmaier6507]

Yeah I saw them on this album this tour was great at first I have amazing live Act

[@claudioe3043]

Que bien que suena en vivo. PERFECTOS. Greetins from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

[@THX-jg8ze]

A sadly forgotten band and song.

[@LennWeltmeister]

Her eyes arouse me. What kinda magic do they have?

[@phoenixcathiam]

Black Magik ? 😅

[@feeshtacos]

Kali Ali is just bad-ass ... ❤

[@agstuff3475]

Pure magic !

[@theresamarquez8063]

One of my top faves😢💔

[@benjaminbonilla7142]

When I'd listen to this in its original 1996 release year, to me, this tune was just a cool song to listen to. But nowadays, and with this live version it's gained power and become a luxurious, elegant classic

[@plus_sign]

i'm 33 & i can't believe i never heard this song before... this sh*t is a ultra 90s vibe

[@dutchmastah07]

36 here, always heard of Sneaker Pimps, and a big fan of Portishead, so the fact I’ve never heard this is blowing my mind right now lol

[@ThreeBeingOne]

You get the assignment.

[@Schnipp08]

This song is so underrated.

[@DaveTaste]

It was hugely successful.

[@awholelottalumps]

She's a good singer. Good band also.

[@cyberpunk7764]

Atmósfera misteriosa y oscura. Memorables años 90s!

[@Angela-fx6pl]

I ❤️ her voice 😍

[@dw6015]

Girl knows how to put on a show. So good live.

[@nuke97]

Forever captured my youth when this came out. Kelli Ali will always be my crush.

[@adriansmith6993]

Kelli is so good. Amazing what could have been if she was kept in the band.

[@Bouncer_RF06]

It was for the best to kick her out. It resulted in two brilliant albums in Splinter and Bloodsport.

[@BlueSkyCrystals]

It was inevitable once they became jealous of the attention she got.

[@trysometruth]

those are good albums... and personally I love Kelli's first two solo albums... love love love

[@breezyvibe]

I love vintage Sneaker Pimps!!!

[@CP-kb1du]

Best Track on the Saint Sound Track 1997 ....

[@Busbybeats]

Good drummer, great singer.

[@derryk1]

Heroine chic look was in.

[@jameswalker7871]

It's like medicine, helps my soul

[@DOSlogic]

Thank yoy for good quality of rare video

[@deanrussell2224]

Been there for last 2 nights and they all smashed it - frank got lost in the crowd night one and had a girl let going last night - cookie is killing the drums and jones and Matlock nailing the sound - more dates to come and well worth the trip for anyone 👍

[@chriswilson3126]

I was introduced to this track when I picked up the first Chillout Session from ministry of sound. Great stuff.

[@andrespuerto9121]

All of those comp albums like Budha Bar or Hotel Costes were one of the few ways to find cool music, specially in my country Colombia where everything arrives like ten yers later haha

[@chrisjohn8601]

Don't fire the star. They needed her voice & magnetism. She needed their beats. 60/40 in her favor of importance. Alas, vibes are forever.

[@Jason-Scott]

She’s incredible ☺️

[@jameslahaine9235]

Ahh they were great days...

[@toddtwitchell]

Love her so much 💞

[@ssc4153]

Love you guys.....

[@stefxstefani]

in love with her

[@caseycbenn]

I'm MTV used to play music years old.

[@circusofsteele7702]

Kelli was the reason I started listening to Sneaker Pimps and her departure was the reason I stopped following them.

[@gilbertavila3141]

She had the ideal voice for that generation

[@JarrodButali]

Makin love to the camera love it.

[@sugarcoach]

love this so much

[@laraduff256]

I feel like such a bad ass confident woman when I hear this - 🎶

[@DaveTaste]

Every man does.

[@hypnotechno]

such a iconic song. She nailed it. They should have let her shine

[@patrickcontesti2621]

C'est Génial!!!

[@emptyspace3737]

Don’t blame her, they couldn’t write music that could encapsulate her potential… that’s okay, neither could she. As an enjoyer of (her)(their)(his) era, I can admit, I genuinely don’t enjoy either artist separately. There was a certain magic that I’ll appreciate. As much as I would love for it to come back, I would never force it. It won’t be that same, this band is synergy and synergy alone. In my opinion… I’m very thankful for them.

[@Surtac100]

Good old days.

[@johnnybickle4116]

She's a real Vampire you know .....

[@EduardoGarcia-q4i]

I need a documentary on this

[@Sir_Osis]

Staring into your soul

[@runeghost4264]

Once they fired her this band was done for me.

[@bobross8569]

When the M in Mtv still stood for Music,not Money.

[@gonzalo2799]

Esta mujer era hipnótica 😮

[@nancyjob9804]

Kelly pulls you right i. n with her singing, look and moves. Too bad Chris Corner got so jelly of her he got rid of her

[@lewisb85]

A session vocalist became the face of the band, it wasn't like beth from portishead or Lou from lamb where they were part of the band kellie was literally hired to sing by the band's manager. Thats why Chris got rid of her he regained control of his project.

[@kappawear]

@@lewisb85 He got control of his project?

[@abnerhayes6915]

Kelli is so badazz

[@thehoneyeffect]

Why did that era seem more futuristic back then??

[@JoshuaFuentes-t8z]

my Xbox 360 Grand theft Auto v cover is out and I'm looking at it right now while listening to this song

[@lonibeck2293]

She's amazing way above my league lol

[@braythirteen]

When MTV actually was cool.

[@djsoulfilter]

also when they actually played music videos lol

[@natcat555]

Original 90s smokey eyes 👁️🖤

[@Chitchattrist]

🎉

[@chrisyboy666]

Seen the pimps with Ali amazing seen them with corner walked out after 2 songs garbage what could have been if your ego had not got in the way and you had ideas above your talent level….a band consists of more then 1 person…..

[@Sterling60]

curious as to why it is played a couple keys higher. Appreciate that it's live

[@osmos2017]

bc Kelli sucked at singing live, they had to accommodate

[@toridayeny]

💎

[@jimjoyce4423]

Kelli was freaking gorgeous in the 90s

[@trysometruth]

and 2000's and 2010's

[@hannahtanski3911]

they should have never parted ways w kelli bc her voice is just so…. different and iconic and she did this at 17!!!

[@tamielynne7374]

Yeah it's just not sneaker pimps without her.

[@RuffianSoldier]

she was 21 when this song was released
