El DeBarge

El DeBarge is definitely back, the popular ’80′s singer was spotted leaving Phillippe Chow in Los Angeles… If you look closely his date was trying to hide from the paps. SMH. Pop the hood for more shots of him and some of Will Smith at the German premiere of The Karate Kid

Mmm Mmm Good…

And we’re definitely looking forward to the release of El’s new album Second Chances

  • She said it.

    LMAO

    DEEZAm. I like that one…

    I can’t believe how good he looks.. Jesus….I don’t know…..maybe they hate us cause we don’t age. My Gawd look at his skin. WTF????? He looks 30. I’m still bumping “You Wear it Well, Whose holding Donna now, I like it, All this love, Stay with me.”

    All these artist can come back reproducing the same 80s sound and shut all these SHBA (should have been aborted) artist down.

  • NYC Gal

    EL DeBarge still look good for a man pushing 50+ years, doing years of coke/crack and spending some years in prison.

  • Somali Ninga

    I’d hit that ;)

  • Blackunity

    lol @ hunnybun I thought the same thing when I first saw that pic. I loved El and all the DeBarges when I was growing up. I had their posters all over my wall. He really looks good with everything he has been through. It’s nice to hear a real singers like him, Anthony Hamilton, Calvin Richardson to name a few.

  • Lola

    Eldra is bringing light skinned back.

  • WTF

    awe- poor thing didnt want her picture taken- so that she can end up on a blog getting chewed out-

  • Bopa

    @All The Debarges Have a Black Mother & White Father – But The Whie Father Wow! TV! Did A Show On Them

    You sound like a loon. I’m light too but is it really that big a deal? Black comes in all shades and they’re all beautiful. You act like light skinned people poop ice cream.

  • Baybaybay

    I was all set to comment on El Debarge until I read Somali’s comment saying he would hit that I’m shocked Somali are you homosexual?

  • AllBahianGirl

    El is looking better as he gets older. El still has one of the best voices in the business. No one can hit those high falsetto notes like El and the late Bobby Debarge. Deezam is a fitting term for El. I love his remake of the Antonio Carlos Jobim tune “Dindi”.

  • Darkesthourgla ss

    So his date must be shy? El still looking nice to be pushing 50 with all the stuff they’ve been through. He was even finer on the BET Awards last month though. I saw Unsung on TV One several times talking about those DeBarges.

  • sunflower

    Yes, he did a great job at the awards show BUT he looks a little Al Reynolds ish’

  • Darkesthourgla ss

    @Baybaybay

    Um, Somali is female with a picture of a man in her gravatar.

  • http://www.bossipsucks.com PUUUUH-LEEEEASE!

    Isnt that the SAME EXACT outfit he wore to the BET awards except he threw on a button up! You aint slick EL! somebody tell El Debarge you dont wear a collared shirt with a collar-less leather jacket! either double collars or no collars! Get with it man!

  • Just Bored

    El DeBarge is looking very good these days. He gained some weight and it’s just what he needed. I hope he does some new music soon.

  • Kristina

    I was born in 1986 so El Debarge was before my time, however he does look good for his age. My mom used to be in love with him and he was cute back in the day.

  • AWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAP!!!!

    His date must have seen the ‘Unsung’ episode on the DeBarge family.

  • Blackunity

    For the people saying he is cheating on his wife, they are separated.

  • Somali Ninga

    @ baybaybay
    I’m female

  • RazeKane

    LIGHTSKIN WITH WAVY HAIR IS BACK YALL !!

  • rain

    El is still fiyne

  • SOUTHERN GIRL

    She most have something to hide.

  • Leethea Boisierre

    El Debarge was a lot of women’s type back in the day especially the ones who wanted light skinned babies with good hair who would have better opportunities but then dark skinned men became the norm for black women and mixed men were obsolute. I don’t think El Debarge type men will make a comeback black women don’t like white chocolate as much as milk chocolate!

  • Curious1 aka Stuntin’ Like My Daddy

    Lawdy….Which DeBarge was Janet Jackson married too…him…or one the other light skindededed,,,eded….Brothers…or was it one of the Silvers..???

    Anyway…I can’t remember all that old school classic trivia…

    He looks ok..and separeted doesn’t mean single..just means…In limbo..lazy…

  • Miss Sexy Redd

    Janet Jackson was married to El’s younger brother James Debarge who has a daughter Kristina Debarge who is also a singer. The odd thing about El is that even though he’s mixed he don’t go for mixed women all his babymamas are regular black women some of them dark skinned but all his kids I think he has 12 have his skin tone and hair. Strong genes!

  • Miss Sexy Redd

    @NYC gal. El Debarge was several kids by several black women you can google his bio its mentioned I actually got college friends who are from Lancaster,Ca where he lives and they said majority of his arrest were for non payment of child support its public info though you can get it. He wouldn’t like me because I’m his complexion I have never seen him with women his color he likes real black women.

  • WINDOWS TO THE SOUL

    I Lost respect for him. The drug situation I can understand. But beating women, no excuse!

  • http://www.myspace.com/chocolate_box777 Chocolate_Box

    Glad EL beat his addiction. He is a very talented writer producer also. Will looks well defined & healthy and happy…

  • Darkesthourgla ss

    The DeBarges’ d e m o n s will always haunt them. Their father was abusive and I’m sure that played a part of f u c king them up later in life.
    They are far from being saints but because they were a talanted family and as long as they look good or at least decent, women will always swoon to them.

  • Eye

    el, please continue to do whatever it is you are doing because it is working. You look Great. I only wish the best for you in the future. You have been through so much and I really hope you learned from your past. My father looked just like you so I understand the complexity that comes with all that you are. I rooting for you in the future.

  • AnonymousGal

    I’ve been a fan of El and the DeBarge family since Bobby and Tommy DeBarge were in the group, Switch. I still have all their albums. A girl in high school told us about DeBarge before they came to L.A., and I’ve been a fan ever since.

  • Darkesthourgla ss

    Janet was married to James, not El or Chico.

  • !!!!!

    HE STILL LOOK GOOD AND IF I WAS WITH HIM I’LL BEEN GLAD TO BE SEEN WITH AND NOT ASHAME.

  • AHHHHHHHHHHHHSHADDAAAAP!!!!

    James is OLDER than El. I believe he was the eldest member of the group DeBarge. He was like the Jackie Jackson of that group. Bobby of ‘Switch’ was the eldest sibling.

  • jdmann

    El Debarge is Jada Pinkett’s daddy and that’s Kourtney Kardashian with him.

  • you step in jail, you getting RAPED!

    Go EL!!!

  • ladybug

    James Debarge wasn’t the eldest member of the group I think he was actually the youngest but the siblings are very close in age so if he was 18 then El was 20 when the group came out. The brothers younger than James are Chico and Young Debarge who I think is the youngest of the family.

  • que bien!!!
  • Janelle Canty

    El’s mom is browned skin not that it matters people black is black and black is beautiful. Most son’s want to marry a woman like their mommy and his dad is white…not a nice guy from what i could see from Unsung on TvOne

  • http://mcclure.danielle@yahoo.com Chester Tha Kat!!! :D

    Please stop with the racism with the skin color. Anyways, El look good for his age and the same when he used to sing back in the days.

  • Lisa

    Listen up youngins

    Tommie and Bobby were the older brothers and they were in the group Switch. Bobby died of AIDS in a prison in th early, mid-80s.

    El, Bunny, Mark, Randy, and James (Janet’s ex-husband) were members of the group Debarge and were th middle kids.

    Chico is one of the younger brothers (if not the youngest) who had his own solo career (he was BAD). His latest CD is called Addiction it is fiyah.

    The rumor/gossip mill is that James’ daughter Kristina is really his and Janet’s daughter. During their marriage, there were rumors of her being pregnant, with pictures emerging of her looking puffy.

  • Allie

    Him and will look great

  • frankiestage

    El is a h*e*l*l*ufied musician. Was listening to one of his old school jams on XM the other day that reminded me of that fact: You Wear It Well.

  • Boots

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The info I came across on the internet is leaning towards your statements. Ain’t that a b*tch. I always thought James was the eldest. Wow. Well, at least I was SURE he had been married to Janet and not El. People have been making that confusion since the eighties.

  • 2dimplzs

    All I know is…….EL CAN GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • what is that?

    EL IS LOOKS GOOD AND HEALTY.. HE HAD SOME ROUGH TIMES IN HIS LIFE AS WELL AS HIS FAMILY..HE ALWAYS ENBRACED HIS BLACK SIDE OF HIS HERITAGE.. THE MOMMA AND THE KIDS HAS SUFFERED THUR HELL WITH THEIR WHITE DAD…GOOD LUCK TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY..

  • Peaches

    El Debarge reminds me of my childhood, my aunt married a man who look exactly like El Debarge for the reason someone mentioned earlier she wanted light skinned kids with good hair who would have more opportunities and its true. Someone said El Debarge is feminine I never saw him as feminine yes he had a high pitched voice when he sing but he’s not feminine.

  • EL IS BACK!!!

    isnt el still married, maybe thats why this woman dont want to be seen.

  • Rrrrroe Ski Love- A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    Chico debarge had a CD when he was first released from jail. Well worth buying!! The girls get moist listening to it, which made my job easier.

  • Iownu

    He is half white so that is why all you females thinks he is good looking…lol

  • Xster

    Glad he’s back.

  • Lovelybubbly

    @Iownu. Yes some females like him because he’s mixed I am one that likes those type men always have. Plus I love his voice especially on Secret Garden with Barry White and Al B Sure that was perfect.

  • It’s Sad That Some Women Like This Dude Just Because He’s “Light Skinned”

    Your parents failed you, and you are probably going to fail Your children

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++

    There’s another brother under Chico nicknamed “Young” Debarge. Don’t know his real name. That was the brother that was on the radio about 5 years ago trying to dust up Janet and James’s relationship claiming Janet did have a child. Young had an album out that went lead nickel. There is another younger sister nick named Peaches.

    DO YOU WANT TO SAY” LORD HAVE MERCY”

    What does clawd hammercy mean?

  • nywoman23

    never was into el debarge. but chico now thats a different story. chico can get it.

  • carmel

    I wasn’t into El back in the 80′s. But with the short hair, weight gain, he can get it with me!I am 40 and just didn’t like the long hair&all back then. That was the look for men back then though. DuranDuran, whitesnake, David Lee Roth, every guy had a “androgenous” look back then. That didn’t make them gay though. They got women left and right! Which is why some of them like El have all these kids!Chico is beautiful, but more rugged tough guy kinda looking. Chico can get it from me anyday also! I go for the mixed types. Just like some black men go for only white women. It’s what turns me on and what I prefer. Simple as that!

  • Anjay

    Is this woman serious? Since El DeBarge is now in the public eye with a new CD release on the way, didn’t shen have the common sense to know that she would be photographed? Who is this mystery woman and what does she have to hide? Whoever she is. It’s definitely not his wife. No way would a wife be hiding from the camera.

  • EL IS BACK!!!

    @ILOVE DEBARGES

    i heard the same thing but el has always cheated on his wife he has been with his wife for about 17yrs they have 4 kids together. and he has 2 small boys by another woman. his wife isnt going to divorce him no matter what.

  • moo

    let’s be real: that el D is a fine piece of man meat, recovering addict/women-beater ‘n all!!

  • terrinyc29

    If yall think he looks good now should have been around to see him in his PRIME

    Pure Gorgeous-Sexiness. Straight up and down

    The drugs have aged him a bit for me plus being light/biracial the skin will not hold up as well if he was Darker, perhaps, his brother Chico who is only a couple years younger looks like he in his 20′s So I think the drug lifestyle ruined his Gorgeous face IMO

  • jen

    WOW HE LOOKS OLD.FOR THOSE THAT KNOW HIM HE IS A NO GOOD CHEAT.MONIQUE STOP IT PLEASE.WHERE IS YOUR FAM.

  • mai

    He is gorgeous…looks better now than he did when he was younger. He is in his prime…fine as can be and the voice still silky smooth. Some light-skinned brothas age like fine wine and El is one of them. He is sexier than ever!

  • KaraMel

    Well, if that’s the case, she had no business out there with him in the first place. Also, the Jet Magazine that came to my house today says El is no longer married to any of his 3 wives. In other words, they’re all ex-wives. All he’s concerned about is his children.
