Taj and Coko can't hide their expressions at all. lol The reason I love SWV. The realest and most talented female group, EVER!
I saw that too. Wow
I was just about to comment that!
+Alex Edge Coko is CONSTANTLY rolling them eyes. Damn! I thought they were through that mess. Every time Taj speaks, Coko looks stank and pissy.
I think that's why I absolutely love them, too real, lol!
+Induct Janet love your profile name! She's one of my faves 4 life
Coko ain't no joke..she do not allow folks to disrespect her. I love her. I admire all 3 women. I'm 66 and they are great. Total is also great.
It sounds crazy but as legendary as the great Charlie Wilson is, and with his amazingly unique and strong voice, even he couldn’t have done with Weak what Coko and SWV did with it. It’s one of the greatest vocal performances I’ve ever heard on a song. An absolute timeless classic that will never die. Thank you SWV and Brian Alexander Morgan!
I agree
@@adwoaa7419 Thank you!
TRUE
i disagree. you can clearly hear how the song was written for charlie wilson's style. coko had to channel uncle charlie on that track. charlie wilson version would have been amazing. i really hope he releases a cover of weak someday
Coko's facial expressions when the other two speak are priceless.
She just can't be anything else but Coko!
I have always noticed that some of Coko's runs and riffs reminds me of Charlie Wilson. They can SANG!
That's because Charlie Wilson is one of inspiring voices of the vocal styling of New Jack Swing. Charlie influenced Aaron Hall. Aaron Hall along with TeddyRiley production was the blueprint for RKelly, Jodeci, etc. New Jack Swing became Hip Hop Soul with Mary, SWV leading the charge for the women.
SWV still have their magic, after all of these years!!! Long may they continue.
They SO NYC and I love it!!
Amazing stories! Amazing Voices! That bassline on Weak is crazy nice.
Cokos face while Lee Lee talking about how her family sung and she got her voice lol
You’re reaching…..
@@da12nvmp I saw what I saw
Amazing story about CoCo's mother.
This group never got the recognition they deserved for whatever reason.
I love Coko and Lelee ascents. I love the way they talk
New York!
@@jeanettesdaughter All day long!!
Move to The Bronx.
@@djwillpower578 What you mean? Why move to the Bronx?

I bumping to SWV Man Crush Everyday MCE
James Pickett
That’s my jam🔥🔥
Love this group!
Great interview, glad they're still working.
Y'all are too hilarious I got and have much LOVE for y'all. Coko if u was sitting down and singing through the whole concert I would NEVER be bored I'm telling u I'll NEVER in my life be bored for seeing u sit and sing. U are a goddess to me I will bow down to u everytime I see u frfr 💯 And I will do the same for u too Lelee and Take I LOVE y'all soooooooooooooooooo FREAKIN much and NOTHING will CHANGE that for sure I PROMISE I will always LOVE y'all .
They not about to put y'all down if they do I'm going to say something to them and stick up for y'all and stand up for y'all. I got y'all backs no matter what I'm always be here for y'all 💯
6:28 is where they start talking about Weak
Thank you!! 🤣
Thank you
Heeeyyyy my girls. I was just thinking about them earlier this is weird finding this video after work today. Just wishing their reality show would return. I WILL BE PURCHASING THEIR NEW CD 'STILL" ON FEBRUARY 5TH. I know all too well about them back problems. My Lord! So as much as I would love for the show to return & see them tour I can relate/UNDERSTAND the back pain that keep Coco from the show and touring. No one would truly understand back pain unless they are experiencing them also.
yup
That MCE track is actually dope as fuck
Kevin Johnson It really is
Lol @ taj & cokos Zzzz vibe... also I am pleasantly surprised at miss tibbas musical background.... I USED TO LOVE SYLVESTER!!!! RIP
I see why miss teeba acts like she does now regarding Coko. BUT you can't straddle the fence. Have y'all seen Freddie Jackson lately? Sheesh, he need to just be out like Sylvester (RIP, I was just singing Mighty Real and sing it randomly all the time, lol!)
hahaha coko wasnt feeling taj at all!!!!! look at her face when taj speaking ....LOL
Weak is a woman's song I would have passed on it too. Those lyrics are not what a man would say at all, it was destined for SWV.
Exactly!! You wouldn't think of a man singing a song about being "weak;" you'd think if anything a man would sing about being strong or powerful.
You must not know Weak At the Knees! Keep that gender stereotyping out of it. Everything is not for everybody is a fact. He did them and us a favor imho.
Wowwwww..I could've heard Charlie on that
Well well well. Fancy meetings and then it's what?!
Amazing
Why does Coko looked annoyed?Love these girls!
It could be pain. Towards the end, she mentions that she has back problems.🤷♀️
Y'all too much amazing and if other people think y'all boring doing that I don't care what they say or do about y'all just know that it better not be negative or I'm going to go super duper crazy frfr 💯 I got mad LOVE for y'all soooooooooooooooooo FREAKIN much LOVE 💯 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😍😍😍😍😍
Haters and slackers, biters all of them think they’re boring because the are not wretched. Oh right ratchet but is that like a tennis racket, or what? Far from boring: intelligent, classy, discreet and most of all Sisters With Voices who don’t need to shake that ass and talk out they neck to hold your attention. New York all day. 🥰
Coko, Lelee and Taj are my favorite singer
I love these girls and I can't wait til Feb 5 to cop the new album.
All day
I love hearing songs that artists skipped ovr for whatever reason.....Umbrella was skipped by Mary and there was one that was skipped ovr by Anita Baker that Toni Braxton made famous.
Monica Morrow Anita was pregnant 🤰, wanted a break, and suggested they give the song to the person demo’ing the record (Toni).
The Dream said in an interview that her actually write Umbrella for Britney Spears after her breakdown. I love knowing the history of songs. Im glad Mary passed. That song was made for Rihanna
I think it was “Another Sad Love Song” that Anita passed on
What's Love Got to Do With it was almost went to Phyllis Hyman before Tina Turner got it. Tina initially didn't like the song
@@skylerb97 Love Shoulda Brought You Home
Charlie Wilson? Naw lol.. not with those lyrics.. but in the 90s the only male singer I could hear singing “Weak” is Tevin Campbell..
😆... Tevin Campbell. He would've killed that song though
❤❤❤
💜
brian alexander morgan wrote that song about chante moore
Trent Rama yes he did...i always wondered if she knew
Oh really?I love Chante'!I saw her in concert when I lived in Atlantic City in the early 2000's and she was amazing!Got to meet her also and she was a sweetheart!😘😘😘
I absolutely LOVE Sheila💕
SWV .. aaahhh ...so so so beautiful💕
#ForeverSWV
Can def hear uncle charlie singing "weak" for sure
He would've put his own twist on it,for sure! lol
You don't know Charlie..preacher son out of Tulsa..Gap band for life
I agree Fi Rouz
I never thought about how they're also T.L.C.
They were the first TLC
I like LeLe but does anyone know what she really sounds like signing?
Yes we do! Look up old 90s video of the group. Leelee also sings he 2nd verse when they perform live Patty Labelle if only you knew.
Leanna definitely can sing.
Coko looks like she doesn't want to be there
You probably know now, but she suffers from Bipolar Disorder
Let me sing a restaurant theme song and think I can sing lmao
Shady!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MCE is my sonnngggsss
I never realized that Charlie Wilson was singing at that time. I thought he came later. The more you know.
Charlie wilson was in the group Gap Band back in the 70's
Damn you lost in the sauce lmao 🤦🏽♂️
How old are you? Charlie Wilson started with his 2 brothers in the Gap band. You dropped a bum on me..lol. I'm 66 and I love music. My kids introduced me to SWV
Charlie would have killed Weak.
Charlie is blessed...
Coko and Taj clearly have tension. Everytime each other speaks they look annoyed.
Monique G yea I notice that too
Monique G. Naw you just like drama
@@michaelmitchell7410 right lol
Thought it was just me 🧐
Coko seems annoyed when the other 2 speak what's up with that?
I can’t believe Charlie Wilson did that he would’ve sung that shit better 💯🤷🏾♂️
Weak has the melody to Yearning anyway.
The two on the end don't get along,,
Charlie Wilson was stupid for that😳
Ernest Enoch he was smart he know what he can do he couldn’t hit all them high notes
