Throwback Thursday: Whatever happened to Tevin Campbell?


Well, you know it's a throwback video when the singer can actually sing, the women are clothed and you could watch the video with you grandmother in the room and not be embarrassed. Where is Tevin these days? I heard he came out of the closet (NTTAWWT - not that there's anything wrong with that) and was hanging around the LA club scene.

From 1993 (whew!), here's Can We Talk: (pardon the commercial - VH1 - SMH)

Any throwback tunes you want to share today? Any Tevin sightings?

i don't think he came out the closet. he has a girlfriend so why people keep
saying he's gay.just because of that thing that happened, that was 10 years ago

I love TEVIN CAMPBELL. Fans should visit youtube and play his video called Tevin Campbell Part 3/3 Brown Eyed Girl. If we support Tevin by showing some love and playing this video as much as possible, the media will pick-up. Tevin will see how much support he has and how his fans miss him and hopefully make more music. SUPPORT TEVIN CAMPBELL.

TC was the MAN back in the day. No idea what he's up to now.

I was blasting Just Ask Me To from the Boyz in the Hood soundtrack yesterday and my nephew said, "Who is THAT?" Little heathens, learn some R&B history. I told him, "It's NOT Drake!"

I gives a damn, I still love some Tevin. Get it, T!

It's really such a sweet song. What's the last song I thought was sweet?

MochaMuffin said...

Just Ask Me To was the CUT! I gotta go put on that soundtrack now.

I needed a little musical pick me up - this song did it. Good one!

I was all good with Tev till he started rolling with Prince and came out with the Sshh, Break It Down song - that was a stretch Tevin. And as OneChele says - you got the skeptical side-eye for putting that out there. Can't deny his voice though. Pure gold

Ever since that mess he had with that undercover cop, he's been on Broadway playing in "Hairspray". SUPPOSEDLY, he's coming back out with a new album "soon". I wish he would hurry the hell up. I saw him on the BET Awards and he STILL ain't lost that voice. He can sang these autotune usin' Mofo's under a table and make em' NEVER wanna sing again.

I saw him in a London production, he was outstanding.

OneChele said...

See that's good intel right there, I didn't know about the undercover cop mess. But I look forward to his return if he's coming back.

I LOVED Tevin Campbell when I was younger & I STILL jam to his songs when I hear them.

90s music FTW! Love Tevin, I need Brandy to make a comeback too

MusiqLver said...

I am a Tevin STAN! Love, love, love him!

Lady said...

Wow, Can we talk for a minute, girl I want to know your name... this is a throwback, I loved me some Tevin Campbell. I may have to go home and download me a Tevin mp3 and put it on my playlist. Thanks BougieCousin.

This is a throwback, I haven't thought about TC in a while. Where is Al B also?

mojitochica said...

Al B released an album in June.

OneChele said...

I did not know that. Well then where is Chubb Rock?

mojitochica said...

Lol, he released an album in July. No joke!

I saw a picture of Tevin recently. It appeared as though crack was smoking him and not the other way around. He looked really bad. I remember when he first hit the stage, and they were saying that he was the next Michael Jackson, but his career ended so abruptly. Wonder what happened?

OneChele said...

The streets of NYC and LA are littered with "the Next Michael Jacksons". They broke the mold, folks need to quit looking.

Here is Tev live on You Tube fairly recently...not bad once you get through the loud crowd in the beginning when he's singing acapella. Looks good to me!

I love, love, loved Tevin Campbell! I thought he was the cutest thing... until Usher outed him. Whatev, he still sings he rear off. LOL about the women - they all have their own hair and are covered... I miss that!
