Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)

Tevin Campbell

[@xavierhenderson1135]

Only child that had vocals rivaling Tevin was Mike himself. Shout out to Quincy directing the choir lol.

[@gavinvonmeyer3746]

Check out South African (now late) Ricardo Groenewald, Songs: I love You Daddy, and We Are The Children of The World, to me he was also a mega child singer and even as an adult, check out his song Victory In Peace.

[@lisacox5405]

As a kid, Tevin was technically a better singer than Michael was at the same age. Love Mike though. I loved Mike but vocally he was never the strongest male singer in my opinion.

[@MT_2005]

@@lisacox5405 i agree

[@humanparadox]

Most talented child vocalist I have ever heard after MJ

[@monsieur305]

yeap

[@dusroots]

+humanparadox The most accurate comment I've seen today! Tevin and Michael were vocal powerhouses at an early age. Well beyond their years.

[@mojom2003]

humanparadox billy gilman was pretty outstanding too.

[@edwardwheeler197]

Male singers....Aretha could aing Michael and Tevin under a rug as a child.

[@BobbyWashingtonvlog]

humanparadox yes you’re correct, At this age MJ has great town and power but Tevin has that Flava of a young male Whitney... Too bad he’s not still putting out new music...

[@receitaspararecemcasadosof7377]

Really, I agree with you!🙋🏾‍♂️🇧🇷

[@TheRebuilt1]

If Justin even dreamed he was in Tevin's lane he better wake up and apologize. TC was and is the man

[@thataurus2492]

If Tevin and Whitney did a song together back then everyone would be in tears how beautiful that record would of been

[@julinherbert7125]

Oh I love this song so much,had me in tears

[@lilpopes]

Wouldve sold very well

[@dennismclaurin1487]

AMEN

[@anthonyhernandez131]

Pure natural talent! Flawless! Can't find people to sing like this anymore.

[@charlita25]

Yes we need more Quincey Jones

[@islezeus]

Agreed! Autotune has muddied the talent pool

[@nellyluscious]

islezeus Sure has! I just cant take it no more!!

[@dianastanoeff5384]

the sound of an angel

[@kingalejandro1343]

Tevin Campbell could sing his tail off. I swore back in the day he was the only artist that can give Whitney Houston a run for her money! Then Deborah Cox came along and became the 2nd artist to challenge Whitney.

[@timothyypearson]

the challenge was miki Howard then tevin miki said the company always knew but they wasn't putting the Whitney money up for them to go toe to toe.tevin was the greatest

[@kingalejandro1343]

timothyy pearson It would have been nice if they did. Also if Tevin did a duet with Brandy. That would have sounded so good.

[@timothyypearson]

+King Alejandro it might be some in the vaults of unreleased tracks

[@ghanianboi2]

They already done a duet. They sung "Closer I Get to You" on the show NY Undercover

[@DeAndreFlyboi]

+King Alejandro Damn you fine

[@Ryuujin1078]

Singers like this hardly exist in the world today. Music is a shadow of its former self ....

[@porto434]

singers like this hardly existed in any time lol

[@pamelahall2468]

This song is so relevant today. You can see the anointing on Tevin even at this age. God bless indeed...💜

[@LaCheleWallace]

awwwww, look at that baby sang! Go 'head, Tevin, witcho lil' church suit. You looked sharp. Yo' technique was sick wit it at such a young age. Very controlled. Great performance.

[@brianamosley2002]

I know huh. He was so cute back then.

[@TruthTeller410]

i still listen to this song to date. its so moving plus an amazing songs for its time

[@bobmbuyi6272]

One of the million exploited artists by the industry...

[@andredupuis5461]

[@bonitoviegas113]

back in 90"s this was my childhood. people knew how to make music and do it with passion

Yes my child hood as well music was good

#TheseWereTheDays

[@otispearson576]

This song was in the 80's

[@strauqq1]

Yep!!

[@Neno8403]

I'm a guy and I swear to everything I just had tears welling up in my eyes watching this. This kid could SANG. Not "sing"... SANG. And to know what the industry did to him and how he was never bigger than a D-list R&B singer, is beyond tragic. I have to put this dude up there with Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, and a young Michael Jackson, when it comes to vocals. For him to be so unknown saddens me. This song has always done so much for my soul!

[@ChaCha913]

Well what happened? What did they do to him :( ? I'm gonna have to Google it!

[@michaeljordan9879]

The industry didn't do anything to him. You can have the voice but if you do Jermaine Jackson grade albums then you get Jermaine Jackson results.

[@naomilikayi5927]

Mike Jordan According to Siedah Garrett the industry/ record label didn't want anything to do with him once he grew up into an adult.

[@martindennis5116]

@Naomi Iikayi Maybe because his adult voice wasn't really all that special. I know it's a matter of taste but I didn't think much of the high vibrating tenor he worked to death like he was trying to be 14 forever.

[@asweet7818]

so. good 😘😍😂

[@glassbikes]

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNN TEVIN killed that. Dang he was a beast vocally he sounded better then Micheal at his young age.

[@glassbikes]

TrunKZGaMeR PC Gaming Yes you totally understand what I'm saying. I love MJ too But Lets be real TEVIN'S vocal control at his young age was amazing. Just because Micheal was one of the biggest stars in the world dose not automatically make him the greatest singer.

[@kialoves2543]

Kip Wonder LOL!!

[@beaszze]

lee ventura i was abt to say you must be crazy but i heard the end to song his voice does sound better then Michael's @ that same age

[@edwardwheeler197]

Brian Howard Tevin was glorious. Young Michael was great but Tevin had more weight and power. Michael was a Leggiero and Tevin, I believe, is a countertenor/male contralto. Tevin has the fullness and the agility thay takes him over the top.

[@Tornado1994]

Tevin Jermod Campbell(Born Friday November 12,1976 in Waxahachie,TX) is an Altino Countenor/Contralto. Those are extremely RARE.

[@hceal]

Such a pure voice. Gives me goosebumps

[@MrCedricNash]

Wow this is one of the best songs ever! I was 11 when this came out. This song still makes me cry! I love you Tevin! Thank you for posting this so the world can see! Tevin is one of the best ever! Lets make tomorrow the promise of today!

Tevin still can sing! He never lost a thing, except maybe an octave from his younger voice.

[@leighburton832]

Maybe 1/4 th of an octave. His voice is lower, but not much lower!

[@nbagoats4819]

@@leighburton832 full octave. His child-teen voice was off the charts.

[@darcihinnant341]

Wonderful!

[@Epigramist]

As the song closes... U really get a chance to hear the magic of what Tevin Campbell was able to do with his voice... Singing like that is just amazing and was just a glimpse of what was yet to come... Really the closest to the magic Michael Jackson generated as a child with his voice... Tevin Campbell, Ralph Tresvant, Tony Thompson... All with different variations of different aspects of what M.J. originated with his flawless vocals... Tevin, Ralph, and Tony all carved out exciting careers for themselves... The link... Michael Jackson and wow.... Quincy Jones I'm sure knew it as soon as Tevin started singing... Great piece of musical history... Tevin ending the song and going to get a hug of support from his musical mentor... PRICELESS!

[@globalrei]

End of the song makes it

[@CoachLadyD]

Did anyone check out the child TV stars in this live performance and in the original video?

[@kalaklah4848]

He had Michael 's voice when he was young and Whitney's when he got older. Talented

[@newkeith]

Yes it was. I have been converting old VHS and sharing BUT KZbin blocking a lot of it. I am glad this one survived and that it brought back memories.

[@michaeljordan9879]

Can we please stop comparing every young black male singer to a young Michael Jackson? It's so cliche, obvious and worn out. How would you like to a singer and have everybody say " ummm, you're not quite Whitney Houston"

[@kimmie1402]

This came out in 1989 & was awesome. Tevin was at his best in 1994 with the I'm ready CD. Everybody had that cd. The cd had major rotation on all the r&b stations., & the was also popular @ the skating rinks. Miss him

[@rsweetbelle1]

I love this song!!! Im 25 and when I was a little girl I used to beg my uncle to play this on his cassette player the Quincy Jones album back on the block I think that's the name. I love this live performance. Was this a talk show or some awards show? Do you remember?
