Bossip | Gossip for the Hardcore | Black Celebrity & Entertainment News

Alexander Oneil is the shit….please start this crap this morning…lol

lol, Im mad we had to wait till the video was almost over though

Ohh Lordy that is pretty funny. I never noticed his “oscar worthy performance” before.

ahahahahahah funny!

I kind of feel that this song didn’t quite get the girl back. lol. I really hope this dude looks back on this video and wonders, “What in the world was I thinking?”

Supa Dupa Gay! Too funny, what is up with all those facial expression, and that soul glo hair do? I used to like that song, now I will never be able to hear that song again without laughing out loud. Shame on you Bossip.

Its so funny, becuase I thought I was the only one. One night my cousin and I were getting high, and this video came on. I was in tears laughing. I think they were telling him to look sexy, and that was his way. But, I must admit between the eye liner and 3:45 min mark, he could fool me:(:)

hey that use to be the cut back in the day that is alexander o’neal, he made a few good slow jams and he sang alot of duets, check him out. later in his career he beacme a big time drug addict and you will be able to see it in his eyes because they started looking red like they were bleeding and he ended up going to rehab never to be heard from again.

Come on Bossip. I’m with Reesie this was and still is the shit. This is real music! These men nowa days dont even now how to ask for it. They just rude and crude. He said what he needed to say but still made the woman feel wanted.

Mrs T
Alex has a myspace page like anyone else these days. He’s big over seas but he still does show here. He was just here with Howard Hewett and Cherelle in MPLS and they Rocked IT! We gotta show these youngn’ what real music is.

LOL, yes, Mr. O’Neal was a bit dramatic, but that’s a classic!

Here’s one of my favorite Alexander tracks:

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday loveeee. . .

Rae, you’re taking back — I loved Howard Hewitt. . .Shalamar is one of my favorite old school groups.

Alright Sydney! Thanks for the Alexander O’Neal love! I love him and think he is really talented. I’ve always been a fan…

Never saw this video…yes, he is a bad actor and a little overdramatic on the facial expressions (LOL!) but he is still killin’ em!!!

@Dr. Heather

LOL, OK, here’s my last link — Love this song, too. Whenever I go out with you, I find something new. . .You’re a fake, baby. . .You can’t conceal it. . .Know how I know. . .Cuz I can feel it. . .

I THINK THIS IS GONNA BE THE NUMBER ONE SPOT…LMAO AT THE DRIED OUT SOUL GLO

He reminds me of keenan ivory wayans playing little richard on in living color back in the day

funny but Alexander O’Neal is that dude though!

funny..however one of the best songs and voices in R&B, unforgettable. Not many voices like that anymore that you can listen to over and over.

^^^^yall are funny. bossip, i can count on u 4 my early morning laugh. yes, pure comedy. lmao. was that niccah gay?

I LIKE THAT SONG BUTI’VE NEVER SEEN THAT VIDEO BEFORE… OMG!!! HIS FACIAL EXPRESSION WERE GAY AS HEEZY!!! AND WHEN HE SLEMMED THAT PIECE OF PAPER ON THE FLOOR I WAS DONE!!! GOOD JOB BOSSIP FINALLY SOMETHING TO REALLY LAUGH AT…

I love that song so much.

I guess you guys ran out of juicy stories today!

I made a comment on Youtube about 3 years ago on this video…. LOL!

That song and that album was the shit…. I have the CD and still play it every now and then when I want to hear GOOD music…..something we don’t have anymore. The video is funny though!

Weird looking video, but most of them were weird looking back in the day.
That doesn’t take away the fact that this song is hot.

Alexander O’Neal was the Bomb then and still now
especially over seas. Do not HATE.. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis knew what the hell they were doing.
Video’s today are much different back then in the 80′s…..

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…that video is so damn corny and overacted it is ridiculous…I bet he is soooooo embarassed about that now…he probably wasn’t embarassed to spend that check he got from that song Bossip….LOL

This has nothing to do with the video..but wow. Last night I was boreder than life, and started looking thru one of my dads cd collections. I found Public Enemy’s cd, Fear Of A Black Planet and was like wow. And that is it.

why did Bossip have to mess this up for me? bunch of haters. i dont care; that and him are still the jam.

Bossip Staff, you’re showing again how young you are! Gay is running around in tight jeans showing your little butts off for everybody to see. For the 80′s, we didn’t call it gay we called it dramatic. From the clothes to the hair to the facial expressions, we got our point across. Yeah, when we OG’s look back we know we looked ridiculous but in 20 years you will say the same thing about yourselves.

LeoRoar

Right, Bossip is super young. Im only 30 but we was jamming to real r&b in the 90′s. They didnt have big budget videos back then.It was real and straight to the point. When was the last time a man said I need you hear tonight, this big too big for me to be sleeping all alone? Yeah we all know he was talking bout sex. but come on these young buck nowa days just saying “let me hit”, lol… we had men that begged Keith Sweat…. Joe…Jodeci… and the list goes on but now? anybody can make a song and these young ladies just give it up with out a man working for it! Yep thats what men did back in the day worked for it.

Dawn! anything or anyone worth something to black folk, “black media” tries to tear it down or ignore it (jazz, blues etc). Folks don’t respect nothing at all.

The song is a classic, grow up Bossip

I’m a big Alexander O’Neal fan but that was definitely fruity tootie. I rolled so hard though because his hair was slick, he was making these ugly, gay expressions but was serious at the same time. Oh lawd.

..why he remind me of the dude from Pineapple Express?..

fool that ain’t dramatic.. thats a hidden QUEEENNN!!

Hey Bossip cut Alexander O’neal a break. How do you wake up when you wonder “if you were with me now” I might even make that face sometime. All confused and stuff.

When I was like 13, I thought I was going to marry this man!!! How naive of me! He actually had a few great songs. I swear I never knew wut a fruitcake he was. Damn!!!

lol aaaahhh eeeeeeww mornin breath all in the camera.

at the :50 mark str8 DL gay

Alexander Oneil ya’ll thats a good song. AND IT WAS THE 1980′S RELAX BOSSIP. I’M 24 AND WHEN I HAVE KIDS THERE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT OLD SCHOOL VIDEOS LIKE SOUJA BOY, WHICH IS WORSE.

lol, terrible acting

yeah i think they deserve to die!! And i hope they burn in hell!!

Love the song, but the video was crap. Fake, Sunshine, and Saturday Love are my favorites.

Your name was Patty
but now it’s Kay

Girl
you seem to change it every day.
Your hair was long
but now it’s short

You say: I got it cut
but I don’t see no hair upon the floor.
Whenever I go out with you I find out something new.

Love it!!!

@Sydney

did you notice in the ‘Criticize’ video that one of the girls playing the instruments is karen white?….hilarious

No the gayest video is “Just an Illusion by Imagination(YOUTUBE). It was made back in Europe in 82. I love the song to this day justjudge the vid for yourself hilarious LMAO! Bossip you guys better put me on the payrol for this one lol!

this whole video was crazy….lmbao

That was funny…throwing that paper down was the end. But yall need to stop Alexzander was the shit back then…this is the first time seeing the video though.

I live in England and he MUST live here too…he’s always doing a concert! I STILL loves me some Alexander O! Haters!

I used to love that record… but why in the hell does he look like a fat Dave Chappelle…. hahahah

Awwww Bossip why you gotta trip on my boy Alexander O’Neal? He was the truth back in the day, don’t sleep. All True Man was the shiznit, lol. Even though I was a youngster, I still liked this guy for some reason.

It was the “gayest” video but it brings back a time when Artists were known for their talent ability and not their sexual orientation. There were not scripted , fake reality shows back then. The only reality back then for many was growing up poor as hell but what saved many were themselves and radio playing music like this. Say what you may about Alexander O’Neal, at least he tried.

This song still get played on 105.3 and 107.9. That’s some boss isht, right there.

he could sing. he just couldn’t act. and what’s with the weird facial expressions? lol @ him trying to be sexy.omg at the 0:48 mark when he slowly moves his head to the other camera.at 1:05 he slams the paper on the ground, i was done!!

one of my favorite songs of all time!!!!!!

Yeah he does look more than a little sweet but that song was (and still is) the ish.

That was hilarious. That dude really was acting. Give dude an Oscar because Heath Ledger’s Dark Knight performance ain’t got nothing on this. Besides the horrible video the song is good.

PS-everybody looked gay in the 80s.

ROTFLMMFAO!!!!! that shit was hilarious he looked like he was afraid of the dark

Make sure you wait until the 3:45 mark to see some pure comedy. SMH at dude’s facial expression.

—————————————————

he heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
that was some real effin’ comedy

I love this song…yeah its a little sugar plumb fairyish, but I still loves this song. LoL

Oh my that is the ish! The video is funny though-I like his effort in trying to be sexy!

LOL…Bossip stuuppiiddd!

LOL. Either he had little money to make a video or this was the beginning of music video era. The dude had on khakis.

@Shaunie77….I caught that about the note. He didn’t just fling it aside, he slammed it to the floor. LOL

Everything from 3:54 on was hilarious. He looked like he was scared, but he can sing his ass off and the song was on point.

I know I am supposed to e-mail with requests, but can I request the Aladdin theme song sung by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle?? There is a part where Peabo messes his words up..it is so funny.

GaY AS FUGGGG!!!

Throwing that letter was classic..LMAO!!!!!!!

Oh how i love you bossip, making my laugh even when i dont want too…….what was this fool thinkin???!!!!

Just like Reesie said Alexander was the shit and he still is. Alexander was just trying to be sexy. Bossip you’ll just want to start some mess.

AHAHAHA!!!

I saw this same video on VH1 Soul the other week and was thinking the same thing. Charge it to the 80′s. For example, check out Whodini’s ‘Freaks Come Out At Night’ video – homeboy Ecstasy got on some tighty-whitey ass shorts.

Homeboy was mad tweaking at 3:45 LMAO. Ol’ Sweet-N-Sour ass nucca!

You are judging old videos by today’s standards. WHY??? That is how most videos looked back then.

Lol!! But,A Classic none the less

That dude could act straight if he was Brad Pitt. That shit was ridiculous. Did you see how he was stroking the railing @ 2:10? Very suggestive. Dude was 100% queen!

He has a lot of talent, but that shit is funny as hell. It wasn’t funny back in the day, but now it is hilarious. You would know he was queer as folk if he made that same video today, but for some reason, it seemed like the norm back then. I still love that song though.

LMFAO, okay that was pretty funny. I was jammin to he scared the bajebus outta me by springing up and putting on that hella performance.

The video may be gay, but this song is the ish!

Ohhhhh my side is hurtin…that is funny. I love that song that mess is hilarious.

I remember this song from way back, but never saw the video. LMAO!!! Was he trying to at confused or act gay. Also loving the fashion fair makeup in “Tawny”.

One thing he is not is gay. O’Neal has eight children; Carlton, Catrice, Harmoneey Lee, Alexandra, Luise, Seanna, Al and Faith. He is married to Cynthia (his third wife).

In August 2008 he appeared on Celebrity Wife Swap in the UK, where his wife Cynthia O’Neal exchanged lives with TV wine and food critic Jilly Goolden.
This is from Wikipedia, they have a complete biography on O’Neal who appears to be doing really well.

I used to love A. O’Neil, but he always made those exxageratted expressions. this video has to be the worst and very gay- esque…

hEY I LOVED EVERYTHING HE EVER MADE!!!!!! BUT MAN BOSSIP YALLL WRONG…. WHERE WAS I WHEN THIS VIDEO WAS MADE….. HE LOOKED LIKE HE WOKE UP FROM A NITEMARE AND WAS TRYNA FIGURE OUT WHERE THE HELL HE WAS>>>> YALLL WRONG BOSSIP BUT THAT 3:45 MARK IS FUNNY AS HELL…. I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING>>>> AND HE LOOKS CROSSED EYED TOO LIKE HE CANT GET THEM STRAIGHT…. I STILL OVE HIM THOUGH…. HE MADE SOME DUETS WITH SOMEONE NAMED SHERELLE I THINK WAS HER NAME……LIKE HIS FAVORITE SONG THAT I LOVE @ BOSSIP IS ” ALLL YOU WANT TO DO IS CRITICIZE….HUMMS…… DON’T CRITICIZE MY IDEAS… YO BOSSIP IF YOU CAN FIND THE VIDEO TO THAT I’D LOVE TO SEE HIS ACTING IN THAT ONE….

That’s that androgynous 80′s shit, heard every nigga looked like that back than.

I am laughing my a&* off.

Bossip………..i’m laughing my knickers off!!! Growing up seeing men behave like that i had NO clue what GAY was all about! So if i saw this video as kid i would think nothing of it… but watching it today…… he does look queer…lolololol this use 2 be one of my fav. love songs in high school….

Damn I got aroused looking at that nigga laying on that bed. I wish he was here singing me a lullabye and penetrating my ass hole. I don’t even mind that caked up gel.

love 6am

I love Alex! He had some good jams. This video is funny (throwing the paper down and the “nightmare” scene, lol). But I don’t think it’s gay. It’s the 80′s. Folks were overacting, wearing strange things, moving differently… that’s just how it was. This video sure is funny tho… LOL.

Yes the pants are extra tight, and he’s even more melodramatic than Thelma on “Good Times”, but Alexander O’Neal is still one of the most memorable singers of the 80′s for me. Better than most of these “singers” today.

omg i just picked my jaw up off the floor! that ish was hilarious!!!!!! lmao

Hold up wait a minute now Bossip. Don’t hate on Alexander O’Neal. That shit still goes hard. AND, like a couple of folks said, that shit and look was fine back in the day. Let’s hate on what yall got going on with them bullshit as t-shirts.

@c from stl

“did you notice in the ‘Criticize’ video that one of the girls playing the instruments is karen white?….hilarious”

Hey, girl — I think that may be A.J. Johnson, the sista who was in the first House Party movie (I think she appeared in Baby Boy, too). I was surprised to see her in the video, too.

Alexander Oneal has one of the most beautiful voices in the business. I wish he’d come back to the music business. I’m so tired of all these L’ll no talents.

THAT WAS THE SONG BACK IN THE DAY. AND ALEXANDER ONEAL IS THE S***. STOP HATING!

I’m with Pat….if you know anything about old school you know Alexander O’neal was/is the shit. Monday tuesday thursday friday saturday……

The mark on 0:23

__________________________________________________

ok, yeah I watched it again. it is her. wow, they kind of favor though….lol

Why Bossip! We all know his azz is questionable, but that song is still beautiful! @ Billi yes exactly!!!

OMG, LOL…. Bossip yall are wrong… that song used to be the jam, but the video is gay as hell… especially the first half!

LMAO, OMG!!!! That’s why I love Bossip, my husband and I were just playing “What do you know about that?” Where we find old videos that were hot back in the 90′s and 80′s. I was like, “Wow, it never dawned on me as a kid, but Alexander O’Neal had some sugar in his tank!”

LMAO!!!!!!!!!! Aww this is hilarious! But this is STILL THE JAM THOUGH!

That was the jam back in the day but sadly this new breed of news folks have gone and made a mockery out of a lot of old school. I grew up in the 80′s and it was the shit.

This was a time when singers were singers. The video focused on him not 27 other folks in the video, not a calbo with 4 others on one song. Alex was doing his best. This was a time when a singer was just a singer not a singer slash actor slash model slash clothes designer slash liquor maker slash perfume maker slash shoe maker. He was actually focused on his craft these artist nowa day are not even orignal every one got a side project. JUST SING GOT DAM IT!

I always thought this video was how you say “weird”. Lmao @ jamal kc!!

ATTENTION ALL:

The Gayest video ever is by Carl Lewis (yes, the track guy) called “Break it Up”. Youtube it when you have a chance. You won’t be disappointed. Lol

Regardless of his lack of video skills, I love this song and the video won’t change the talent. I remember this video when I was young but never looked at it in the manner of “thats gay” The video is bad though. Still love the song

I don’t get the joke. Acking skills need working on, but what was “gay” about it?

ALEXANDER THE GREAT WAS AND STILL IS THE REAL DEAL.

DEAL WITH IT, BOSSIP!

Bossip y’all bogus!!!! That was funny ass hell. But come on now, don’t front…Alexander O’Neal was the ish back then – this joint is still a banger

I LOVE this song. This and Sunshine…

I nearly wet my pants!!!! That is some funny shit!

What the HELL?!

It’s a little known fact that Alexander O’Neal was originally supposed to be the lead singer for The Time, not Morris Day. Day was the drummer but Prince, who oversaw the group and brought them over to his label, could not see eye-to-eye with Neal and subsequently tapped Day to head the band.

what does SMH mean?

O’Neal’s voice was a beautiful instrument and, with the help of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis’ signature elegant funk, the man was a beast on vinyl. Check out tracks like A Broken Heart Can Mend, Never Knew Love Like This, Sunshine, Saturday Love, Hearsay, Innocent, You Were Meant To Be My Lady and most definitely give his ‘Hearsay’ cd a listen. That’s when he was in his prime.

SMH = Shaking My Head

His videos are less than stellar, yes, but so what – that was the times. And most R&B artists didn’t have Michael Jackson money. Alexander O’Neal is an innovator. Don’t clown the pioneers, y’all. Respect your elders.

Lets just forget the 3:45 mark dude look just gay as ever through the whole video never noticed this before and i use to think this was a pretty cool record back then.

WOW! This video is more cheesy than gay. WTF at the 3:45 mark! Although the 80′s had the bomb music, with real talented people, with real ability. The visuals were truly questionable. WOW! is all I can say!

LMAO!! Ya’ll know ya’ll will find some funny isht @ Bossip! That was pure comedy in deed…he got some old skuul jams under his belt though so I’ll continue to listen but LAWD spare me the visual!

True old school video,never did show the girl if that was a todays video the girl would have been right there giving him a blow job right on camara.

LOL!! HE LOOKS REAL GAY!!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LLLLLLLLLLMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Now thats funny… that nigga is mad gay

oh man rotf! a lot of that 80′s stuff had dudes looking suspect, specially the brothas. Just watch any edition of I love the 80′s. Pure comedy at its roots!!!

The video was HILARIOUS but Alexander O’Neal was the sh*t back in the 80′s! Him and Cherrelle was the BOMB duet duo!!! I still play his slow jams, and he had a lot of them!!! That’s when R&B music was MUSIC yall! This song meant something, you felt the lyrics and he’s a great, great singer too. We are missing that today.

This is so funny. I used to love Alexander Oneal and loved this song. I can’t believe I’ve never noticed the expression before. Too funny.

Ok I have never seen that video before today but heard the song a hundred times when it was in regular rotation on the radio. I laughed soooo hard. Bossip almost got me fired today! Alexander O’Neal… say it aint so.

Singers not actors.

OH HOLY JEEBUS!!! THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE SONGS AND I KNOW I’VE SEEN THIS VIDEO BEFORE BUT DAYUM! FRUITY,FRUITY,FRUITY-LICIOUS!!!

yeah, pretty gay…LOL!!!
But he’s got a great voice and good music. I love this song! He was associated with Prince and nem, so what do you expect?

This is on my ipod now..my favorite part..

THIS BEDS TOO BIG FOR ME FOR ME TO BE ALL ALONE…SHOOOT!

HE IS OVAH!

That song is a baaaaaad joint!
