My oldest son is 23 and he looks exactly like him lbvs His name is Briante Swing...Briante' is his middle name and he added Swing 2 it cause everybody kept telling him that him and Devante are twins lol
JODECI COULD NOT BE TOUCHED BACK THEN!!!! I’m literally going crazy cause they sound so good. And ion see how these boys don’t get any recognition. I’m a Jodeci fan for Life!!! Sing y’all
I'm glad to see Jodeci is back. Dalvin and Devante were (are still remain) very handsome and talented, can play every instrument. K-Ci and Jojo still have that church sound that breathes life into their music. I would rather listen to Jodeci than listen to that autotune bullcrap that's on the radio nowadays.
Niccolo Machiavelli but his interviews were HORRIBLE he had no structure, just random thoughts and awkward silences and l never use the word awkward. Looking back now, he would ask the worst questions.
Mr. Delvin CAN sing. I always thought he was just a fill in the gap person. He sings just as good as KC and Jo Jo and we know Devonte has all that talent. He is the writer and producer.
He's also a good songwriter and producer but a singer like KC and JoJo now not even close it's a video of him singing karaoke of one of their songs and it was straight garbage but that's still my boy don't get me wrong
I was in high school back in 92. Loved jodeci, and watching arsenio. It was a great time in my life. Now, society only cares about reality shows like keeping up with Kardashians. Really sad...
According to their younger brother Derek, DeVante (born Donald Degrate Jr.) named himself "DeVante" in 1986 at the age of 16 years old. Devante took a Spanish course in high school and that's how he got the name. He thought the name Devante was very unique and different, and there was no one walking around with the name "DeVante", or "Devontay" (or a similar spelling) until the explosion of Jodeci. After their career took off, women began to name their children "Jodeci", "Devante" or "Dalvin". As a result, there are many boys (and girls) with the name "Jodeci", and there are millions of Devantes and Dalvins now all under the age of 27. In Dalvin's case, he was named after their father's brother (Alvin Degrate). Their father (Donald Degrate Sr.) wanted all 3 of his sons (Donald, Derek and Dalvin) to have the letter "D" as the first letter of their name, therefore Dalvin was named "Dalvin" instead of "Alvin".
This Drummer is amazing hopefully them boys still playing mc hammer and arsenio Hall's Drummer and Bobby Brown's Drummer and Janet Jackson's Drummer inspired me to build a cage out of my pearl icon Dr 500 3 sided straight racks back when I had my mlx 8 piece piano black kit
I'm going to bring the cage back but in a Roland TD 30-50 PD 8 dual trigger rubber pads in real sizes 8" 10" 12" rack Tom's R 13" R14" & L14" floor Tom's and 14" snare with dual Bass Drums and the pearl red box it's going to be a Master piece when I'm done with it
I could listen to DeVante talk all day long he so fine lawd....

FACTS
Lol K-Ci is funny. You can tell he doesn't like being told what to do. He still going in even after the composer telling them to wrap it up.
K-Ci is cartoon like!!
Yes he is over the top and comedic.
virgos lol
He said in an interview he doesn’t lol 😭
The composer was irritating though, truthfully lol
Devante gets the loudest scream, of course!!!!!! I would of melted seeing him in person, even though i would of been 5 years old lol!
Same lol
Ugh, I melt every time JoJo sings
Me too, like his voice sort of gives you that reassurance that everything is gonna be ok
I wish his singing voice was still like this
It would take a billion dictionaries to say how much i love him lol
I'm glad to see Jodeci is back. Dalvin and Devante were (are still remain) very handsome and talented, can play every instrument. K-Ci and Jojo still have that church sound that breathes life into their music. I would rather listen to Jodeci than listen to that autotune bullcrap that's on the radio nowadays.
Devante and Dalvin look just alike here . Loll
Always thought they were twins
Facts, i usually don’t see it, but y can definitely see it here
The Jodeci group was very good. They were good people trying to survive in the industry and just got caught up. They are all good guys to this day.
From 6:03-6:10 is what today's music industry is missing. Im so glad these guys got to bless my ears in my lifetime. Damn what a vocal run!
This the most devante ever talked during a interview 🤣
Devante 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👅👅👅👅👅👅👅👅
Imagine if Martin came out and interrupted Jodeci at that time LMFAO😁😆😅😂🤣
Devante always got the loudest screams lmao.
You mean K-Ci?
Nvm I thought you meant who screamed the loudest
And he was a background singer as well LOOOOOL
jojo sounds so good during whip appeal i wish they did a full cover 😩
These dudes sound even better live amazing
Agreed
the best talk show ever, he was the blueprint for having good artist on shows
Niccolo Machiavelli but his interviews were HORRIBLE he had no structure, just random thoughts and awkward silences and l never use the word awkward. Looking back now, he would ask the worst questions.
Exactly
They performed like there was 100,000 in the audience #Dope
I love that they can play a different range of songs and still kill it!
It don’t get much better than Jodeci!
Yes Jojo singing Babyfaces Whip appeal!
Man these brothers were talented
They ATE Whip Appeal!
I was in highschool during this ERA!!!!I It was amazing #!!
I TOTALLY REMEMBER THIS EPISODE. I love that Jodeci is back on tour. Please come through the Midwest
Devantes fingers were too quick Lool 6:02
Jodeci was second to none
Mr. Delvin CAN sing. I always thought he was just a fill in the gap person. He sings just as good as KC and Jo Jo and we know Devonte has all that talent. He is the writer and producer.
Darryl Jordan
Don't get carried away dude. DaLviN cant sing like JoJo and
K Ci🕵️♀️
@@wes209 lol not even close
Well, he knows how to harmonise and gets the loyalties still..
And he's a good drummer
He's also a good songwriter and producer but a singer like KC and JoJo now not even close it's a video of him singing karaoke of one of their songs and it was straight garbage but that's still my boy don't get me wrong
and 'i like'.
audience got a treat that night-
I was in high school back in 92. Loved jodeci, and watching arsenio. It was a great time in my life. Now, society only cares about reality shows like keeping up with Kardashians. Really sad...
Thank you Mr. Arsenal Hall for giving “break-out” groups a lot of brothers and sisters at the time light!!!
You know that you're the f'ing "King" of Late Night anytime you walk out to "Jodeci" singing before you even do your monologue!!!
Dang, Jodeci doing Whip Appeal... good times...
JoJo singing Whip Appeal 😍
The transition from the intro to Come & Talk To Me is 🔥
One of the baddest vocals groups int he 90's ( Boyz2 men, Troop, Take 6, Tony Tone' Toni, ).
Intro? Portrait?

sm5981 no! It came from his cousin named Charlvante.
pellis1981 Devante also chose the name when he went to Minnesota (hoping to work for Prince)
we miss when they were functional.
Love them....❤💕
Very nice
Devantè and Dalvins mics are off smh
This Drummer is amazing hopefully them boys still playing mc hammer and arsenio Hall's Drummer and Bobby Brown's Drummer and Janet Jackson's Drummer inspired me to build a cage out of my pearl icon Dr 500 3 sided straight racks back when I had my mlx 8 piece piano black kit
I'm going to bring the cage back but in a Roland TD 30-50 PD 8 dual trigger rubber pads in real sizes 8" 10" 12" rack Tom's R 13" R14" & L14" floor Tom's and 14" snare with dual Bass Drums and the pearl red box it's going to be a Master piece when I'm done with it
Where’s the full performance of the performances ☹️😭
Alot of their songs were probably created and sung when they had a little bit of smoke in drink in their system.
⛪️X-tended RUMSRINGA bad boyz 🎤 🎙 🎹 🥁 🎸
Yes that's not swing mob who was jodeci's band.
I know I'm not the only one that fast forwarded through Arsenio's talking. If only you could have edit him out...
4:54 Does anybody know which song this is?
Babyface- Whip appeal
Thanks!
whats the song at 5:23 ?
K Tookes
Stevie Wonder YOU WILL KNOW
kci look just like silkk the shocker
Boy 2 men Jodeci and Hammer
Come and talk to me
It’s ARSENIOOOOOO HALL,
They should always keep Devante's mic completely off
kci always trying to sing over everybody else
lol
Hes the lead singer..thats his job 😕
Hes the lead singer..thats his job 😕
Matt Whitley him and Jojo are the lead singers..duh
breanna S K-Ci is the lead singer JoJo is the second lead, they said this themselves when their TV show was airing.
you can tell thats not their band
They’re sober now and the voice is back. Heck even kick finally gained a little weight.😊
Yep no chemistry but they still killed it
DaLviN and DeVonte can hold a note.. but there's a reason they don't belt out any solo's by themselves...😐
Well Dalvin did at least but I can’t listen to it he’s not bad just not great
*voices*
4:53 Jojo was eating up
Hahahahahahahaha!!! That is probably true!!!! :)
u have a new subbie
If you tryna smash jodeci will see you through in the CD pocket lol.
Who is this white guy directing them? hahaha!
LOLL
That was Michael. He was the MD for the Arsenio Hall band!
Michael Wolff, dad of Nat and Alex Wolff and husband of Polly Draper from thirtysomething.
I didnt even know Mr.Dalvin could sing
