Norwood Week: Can’t Let You Go

Posted by Bossip Staff

This is a video of Norwood Young before he looked grotesque. You don’t have to look hard to notice the flick of the hair and dainty hand gestures in his dancing. After watching the video, it’s not hard to fathom how Norwood went from this coke happy fairy, to the modern day Blacula.

More Norwood this week!

  7. The Bear

  8. beautiful b

  9. Anonymous3 - the fire sign

    hmmm, hmmm, hmmm…..ridiculous….I mean 1st off what did he do to his face???!!!!….he doesn’t even look the same… people need to let themselves age gracefully…..and clearly a fool can see, even back then what’s up with him….singing bout some ” I can’t let you go” while looking at the girl….puulllleeease…..

  10. Lacombe Redbone (Sign Me Up For That Booty Duty! )

    Who the hell is this kat????

  11. Aunt Viv

    **Yawn**

  12. I'm Just Me- Buffalo Bills (4-1) WE GOT THE CHARGERS ON THE 19th!!

    The question really is why? Is it his birthday? Why does he get this week of all weeks?

  13. hope4more

    his singing was not bad but his dancing was so funny. He probabaly was better off singing background for Luther when he was alive. He looks like Little Richard nowdays.

  14. I'm Just Me- Buffalo Bills (4-1) WE GOT THE CHARGERS ON THE 19th!!

    GOOD MORNING BOSSIP FOLK!!!

    HAPPY TUESDAY!!!

  15. $moK.E.Y.

    SMDH

  16. You'll buy anything!

    Hilarious! Thanks Bossip, I forgot all about that cat.

  17. Ms. T.

    That was the most low-budgeted “video” that I have ever seen. Just horrible.

    That being said, he really does have a nice voice. Not at all what I would have imagined given what he looks like. I was expecting something that sounded like Michael Jackson. Norwood should have taken the Gospel route.

  18. Anonymous

    Everything about this “sitiation” is sad….just sad.

  19. chaka1

    Nice voice. I miss me some 80’s big wild hair.


  20. LOL!!

    Oshie, save me some!!

  21. cece

    DAMN!!!what happened to him what a big difference between then and now.SUPERHEAD that hoe wrote about him in her book.

  22. I Love Being Black (Yes, savor all this rich chocolatey blackness!)

    Dang! I was up on my ’80’s stuff. I totally missed this cat! After watching the vid, my breakfast wants to make a reappearance. Eeearrlllll!

  23. Bahamas/Chicago/Cayman Girl

    The sad part is that he has an amazing voice, an alomst Lutha type voice, but he is such a freak!! He obviously had his teeth and nose done since Star Search, and is sweeter than candy, LOL!! But those videos were hilarious!!

  24. coco

    still scary!!!


  25. LMAO @ him pondering by the window!!!!


  26. lol@ him period, dude is a freak!

  27. Superwoman (You use 200 muscles to take one single step)

    Whos is this guy again and why is he on here,can someone answer that for me?

  28. ♥Golden Goddess♥

    WHO THE HELL IS NORWOOD???????????????????????

  29. Deano

    I promise to never do the WOP again to any 80’s ish. This ***** is giving the WOP a bad name and image. The WOP is no longer an iconic dance move of the eighties but a dainty-battyboyesque move…lol…sorry gays just my opinion.

  30. Ms Boo Boo

    Thanks so much for that!! It was a great way to start my meek(yesterday being the holiday) I can’t wait for more to come!!! He is a beautiful mess!! Happy Norwood Week!!


  31. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  32. JustMe

    Damn you bossip! All this talk about norwood, I had to google brother….found his my*****e page and it has some of his personal story and snippets of some songs. I be damn–this negro can REALLY sing! More like will downing-ish. He still wrong for that nose job though :-|

  33. samech

    The song was not bad, but looking at him, I couldn’t stop laughing…

  34. d-mac

    he had his nose, cheeks,chin done & he had botox for his eye brows…he looks like he’s related to the jackson family…wat a *****


  35. I couldn’t stop laughing!

    1. His shoulder pads

    2. Cheesy animations (or lack there of)

    3. His pondering by the window

    4. Background dancers

    5. His seductive faces

    6. His screaming “Go” and “No” every two seconds

    7. Him doing the snake…

  36. CommonSense...

    who da hell is this norwood cat???

  37. Anonymous

    damn Bossip y’all mad late on Norwood…Crunk and Disorderly been clowning this dudette since 2006.

  38. Elo

    WTF….I was expecting some DeBarge type sound from him….now I’m a;; thrown off….the dancing is just….yeaaah…

  39. Lola

    You know……i read his my*****e page and he says he mutilated (his words) via plastic surgery cause he was scared by a dark secret from his childhood…..it seems as if he’s moved past it now…..I understand him much more now…another reason you shouldn’t judge people if you haven’t lived their life.

  40. Lola

    **he mutilated his body via “Uneccesary plastic surgery”**

  41. kit

    nice voice he should have been luther vandross backup bottom i mean singer

  42. OhMy

    He Has been tangy a long time!!! At least he was attractive then. Fing moore Norwwood clips, Please!

  43. shavon denise

    Sexual Chocolate! SEXUAL CHOCOLATE!!! BOOOO (drops mic). That video was sooo cl*****ic 80’s silly and why Norwood cant get work done? All the other people from the era has

  44. OhMy

    Brow Lift+ Eye Lift+ Rhinoplasty+Cheek Implants+Chin Implants= Modern Norwood

    Too bad his voice is the business. Jeffery Osborn,Will Downing and Luther combined.


  45. so handsome,his girlfriend/wife is so lucky.

  46. Sit yo five dollar ***** down before I make some change (Swagga on a hundred, thousand, trillion...)

    Bossip…y’all killing me with this Charlie Norwood week….but anyway…I’m going to say Happy Norwood week fellow Bossipers…LOL…he still look like a hot tranny mess…

  47. Toya

    wow, dude can sing! what happened to his face? was he in a car accident or something? he was handsome.

  48. Lisa

    I think Norwood’s interesting and unique. He’s staying true to himself and doing so in his own style. His My*****e page is interesting and appears to reach out and attempt to help others. So…how can anyone be negative about someone who’s trying to help others?? I say…Keep being you Norwood! You’re a star and thanks to Bossip alot more people (like me) know who you are!!

  49. LdyK

    I dont know what’s worse….his over application of make up, his poor dancing or his phony tail? either way “hated IT” ( lving color style) {2 snaps and a pepsi)

    LMAO :P

  50. LdyK

    oh i forgot HORRIBLE over damatization and lip synching!

  51. Shay

    He looks 10 times better there. Just another example that you should stick to the nose God gave you.

  52. Phenomenal Me... Ms. Dee (I wish I lived in Ohio so I could accidentally bump into that FINE AZZ CLEVELAND BROWN BRAYLON EDWARDS!!! WOOOOWEEEEEE!!! They just gave the Giants a good azz whippin!!!!)

    Wow!!! Why is he reminding me of Eddie Murphy in his “Party All The Time” video, at least with some of his dance moves!!! Dude really believed he was hot, even back in dee day!!!

    Oh yeah… this song has a slight Colonel Abramsesque feel to it!

  53. dipsey doodle

    This guy is part Alexander O’Neal, part Jermaine Stewart, part Billy Dee Williams with none of the star power. He is, and always will be, some old Blackula-scary-*****-plastic surgery nightmare. Yuck

  54. lol

    norwood needs jesus!

  55. Sweetie

    Check out his my*****e page. Interesting.

  56. NeevaTheDiva

    LMAO @ this norwood ***** .. however i am equally LMAO @ the skin tight pleather pants (if thats what they’re supposed to be) that SXYQBLONDIE is wearing … females crack me up dressing up in their cheap bargain basement ***** and thinking they fly LOL .. im sending that pic to Glamour because its every female’s duty to report gross violations of fashion law.

  57. Tracey

    He just looks like he like YOUNG black boys should never be left in his care.

  58. it's me dammit!!!

    OK who is this guy and why is he so relevant that he gets a whole week dedicated to him, I grew up in the 80’s and I never heard of Norwood!!!!

  59. Realmatic

    This is my favorite video of all time. I cannot stop laughing. The 80’s rules the unintentional comedy kingdom.

  60. InsertDopeWordsHere

    That neck jigg beginning around 00:50 is hilarious.

  61. JillyBean819

    What…the…hell…was…that?

  62. LB

    No one seemed to notice that the blonde chick in the video is the coroner from Law and Order SVU.

  63. Dats My Word

    This guy should join the UNIVERSAL SOUL CIRCUS!!!

    I see Ring Master in his future.

    When I say Big Top, You say Circus…

    BIG TOP

    CIRRRCUSSSS!!!!!!

    LMAO

  64. brightseat_bully
