Tisha hit the shit outta that high note!

[@una4all1]

Yes, you should check her singing Good Morning song from when she was on My Wife and Kids. Make you realize she is a formally trained singer. She don't play games.

[@raymeester7883]

We forget how talented Tisha Campbell is sometimes.

[@theadvocate3006]

She'd probably surpass Beyonce 's fame back in the day had she not met and married that Duane character. A different partner would have helped to skyrocket her career. Sis is a triple threat! Imo

[@raymeester7883]

@@theadvocate3006 Nah! Beyonce is different. It's safe to say she would never be bigger than Beyonce. That doesn't take away how extremely talented Tisha Campbell is.

[@Wis_Dom]

Beyonce is HIGHLY overrated by her nutty cult fans. Plenty of singers better than her.

[@yaknow11]

When a smooth brother like Keith sing to your woman. You just leave the front porch light on for when he brings her home.

The Irony is the THEY LIVE IN DETROIT on the show...and thats Where Keith is FROM. AND HE HAD JUST STARTED TO BLOW UP when this show was blowing up. I seen him in person Summer of 91 at the store on 8 mile and Greenfield. He was on the cover of RIGHT ON MAGAZINE. He looked at the cover of the magazine, and he HUMBLY was taken aback with his SUCCESS.
