HEY SEAIN, MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY--BIG POPPA SHO NUF TURNED THE MUTHA OUT. UNFORTUNATELY, EVEN IF YOU BUY THE EXTRA TAPE, YOU WON'T SEE MR. C. DOING ANY SOLO--IT WAS A ALL DENNIS NIGHT. IN ADDITION TO THE 2 SONGS THEY AIRED, YOU WILL SEE THE INTRO TO STANDING ON THE TOP, CLOUD NINE AND PSYCEDELIC SHACK AND A LITTLE INTERACTION WITH THE AUDIENCE WITH DENNIS ENCOURGING PEOPLE TO PLEDGE. MY GIRLFRIEND GOT A DIFFERENT SHOW--I DIDN'T GET TO SEE THIS PART AND I WAS THERE. IN PHILLY THEY SHOWED A BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW WITH DENNIS AND DAVID. NOW I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE THAT. SHE SAID IT WAS A GOOD INTERVIEW. DID YOU GET THE INTERVIEW IN YOUR AREA?

;DHi Eizee, I will be glad when I can view this. I think it comes to my part of the country tonight. Oh well, I seen 'em raggin on my man (((Dennis Edwards))) but TO ME - HE STILL LOOKS GOOD! AND as far as that is concerned NO-ONE looks like they did 20-30 years ago. You can tell it's him and I've seen him in person and he looks good to me. I WILL SAY THIS - NO MATTER WHAT "THEY" SAY ABOUT DENNIS - I BETCHA ONE THANG - CAN'T NONE OF THEM SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HIS VOICE! HIS VOICE! YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HIM. I will say O's line up is a "good group" but NOT like Dennis and the Review - I'm sorry I've seen them both and Dennis and the Revue is FIRE! DENNIS WILL BLOW YO DAYUM SOCKS OFF! ON THE REAL TIP! HE AIN'T GOT TO TRY TO LOOK CUTE, HE AIN'T GOT TO KEEP MOANIN AND GROANIN AND CARRYING THE TUNE ON TOO LONG BECAUSE HE CAN SING! HE CAN SING! All ya hear is the bass line twice - boom boom! thennnn IT'S ON! BIG POPPA WORKS IT! Yeah, EVEN Otis has said (I heard him "Dennis has a great voice - he is still a great voice"! Otis also said it about David Ruffin - "Nah, Nah couldn't nobody sing like David". SO DENNIS AIN'T GOT TO TALK ABOUT BO CARRYING ThE TUNE on TOO LONG with all that unnecessary moaning and groanin (dayum sang the dayum song - if you can sing you ain't got to do all that! shyt!), HE AIN'T GOT TO SAY ((((TERRY WEEKS ))))IS THE BEST VOCAL THEY GOT AND THEY DONE WORKED HIM SO - TIL THAT BABY LOSING HIS VOICE ((Terry take care of yo voice Baby - that's your voice and your money maker!).. Ron is okay - mediocre... Harry is cool -- I likes Harry Berry and I like Otis and the rest of them BUT why they fans always tryna knock Dennis. Dennis don't say nuthin about them.. but then again he don't have to BECAUSE HE CAN SING.... I tell ya what - I betcha Dennis and nem could roll with the OJAYS the WHISPERS - Just like the Classic 5 could. I don't see how in the hell O's group is gonna pull this off this summer. THe WHISPERS ARE BAD BAD BAD! THE OJAYS ARE BAD AND A GROUP TO BE DEALT With! O's Temps are good but they are too POLISHED - too Las Vegas - I mean certain venues you got to BRANG IT! You can't be tryna be cute - tryna look good to the point where you forget to SING... which is what this is about right? the music... THE MUSIC. Nick Caldwell, Leveil Degree's slick and smooth choregraphy - can't nobody touch 'em! I'm serious! The twins Walter and Scotty are magnificent vocalists and the OJAYS are RUFF ! RUFF! I can see the Whispers and the Ojays performing on the same venue even though it's two different styles but they are both EXCELLENT vocal groups... I just don't get it. I could see Dennis' lineup with the Whispers and the OJays because they got that FIRE! that's what it is about. Ahite... I'm through now... tee hee hee... luv you ((((JODY, EIZEE,CAPRICORN PRINCESS, SEAIN))).... ya 'all know I had to go there - shyt... I CAIN'T HEP IT! tahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA tahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ;D

Gurrrrrrrrrrl, who you tellin about Dennis' skills? ;D When Dennis open his mouth, it's all over but the shouting, hollerin & the screamin! LOLOL! Dennis rocks babee! You are sooooo right about Dennis vocal prowess! He knows how to work the crowd & he doesn't do any of those exaggerated vocal runs! You will not be disappointed by Dennis' performance. I only wish that they had aired the whole set!! I, too, don't know how they are gonna come off with the whispers & the Ojays. I hope they are the opening act because Eddie Levert ain't no damn joke!!! ;D Whew! Eizzie, I don't recall seeing Dennis do the pledge thing. I must've missed that! Gonna have check out the tape when I have the time!

Dang! I can't wait til tonite! ;D I think it's a damn shame when folk can't give Dennis his props! It seems as if whenever he gets the slightest bit of recognition that the same people start raggin on him! They need to stop the hate and just celebrate...celebrate the fact that he is still here and able to do what he loves to do. Inspite of it all, he is a very blessed man! Some wish they were so lucky. I think people get a little nervous when they see Dennis perform...they have a need to detract from what he is ...truly a great performer! In folks heart, they know Dennis still got it! Dennis does not have to hire someone to sing his songs. Dennis can take you HOME! It would be different if was hiring someone to sing Otis' lead songs, but that ain't hardly the case. Boom Boom...Boom Boom Boom Boom...don't get me started now! ;D Is there anybody out there who can do this as good as Big Poppa??? Hell Naw! I am so looking forward to tonite...even tho I know the SEAman won't be front and center.

HAHAHAHAHA ;D ;D HEEHEEHEEE ;D ;D--NOW ALL OF YA'LL KNOW WHY THEM TEMPTATIONS LOVERS AIN'T GIVING DENNIS HIS PROPS--CAUSE THEY JEALOUS!!!!!. DENNIS IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO THE TEMPTS--ESPECIALLY NOW THAT HE HAS BEEN ON NATIONAL TV WHERE MILLIONS ARE VIEWING THAT SHOW. THE TEMPTS REVIEW SHO NUF GOT CHARISMA ON THAT STAGE AND CAN WORK THE CROWD. AND FOR THEM, IT JUST COMES "NATURALLY". EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT DENNIS HATERS BECAUSE THE PBS SPECIAL IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF THE MUCH DESERVED RECOGNITION THAT THE TEMPTS REVIEW WILL START GETTING BEHIND THIS NATIONALLY TELEVISED APPEARANCE. AS BAD AS SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE WANT TO DOG DENNIS--AIN'T ONE YET HAD THE NERVE TO SAY NOTHING ABOUT HIS VOICE--CAUSE THEY KNOW THE MAN CAN SANG, SANG, SANG. HE IS A TALENTED MAN AND CAN'T NOBODY TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HIM. SEIAN, THE PART WHERE I WAS SAYING DENNIS WAS ENCOURGING THE AUDIENCE TO PLEDGE--IS NOT SHOWN ON TV. THAT PART WAS CUT OUT.--I ONLY KNOW ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I WAS AT THE TAPING. IM JUST GLAD THEY DIDN'T CUT OUT THE PART WHERE DENNIS DEDICATED A SONG TO HIS DECEASED BROTHERS-DAVID, EDDIE, PAUL AND MELVIN. I THINK THAT SHOWS A LOT OF SENSITIVITY AND CARING--WHICH IS SOMETHING I AIN'T SEEN THE "TEMPTATIONS" USE UP ANY OF THEIR LIMELIGHT TIME DOING. CP AND JILL, YA'LL SOUND LIKE YOU STEAMED UP. HAHAHAHA ;D. MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY!!!

(((Eiezee))) the PBS SPECIAL LAST NIGHT SAID IT ALL! I AIN'T GOT TO SAY A MUMBLIN WORD ON THE FA REAL TIP! DENNIS' PERFORMANCE AND THAT VOICE SAID IT ALL -- HE and his fans ain't got to PLAYA HATE BECAUSE THIS MAN CAN SING AND HE CAN WORK THAT CROWD. HE DOES IT LIKE IT'S SECOND NATURE or as you say "NATURALLY".... Ahite I'm out... PEACE and Blessings... ;D

Hello everyone, I see CP & Jill had the chance to see Dennis doing what he does best: bringing down the house! Wasn't he awesome? And what did everyone think about the outfits? I loved them! Unfortunately, because I'm biased when it comes to my favorite color purple or anything in that color family! ;D Eizzie, my bad! But yes, I did see Dennis mentioned his Classic Five brothers! Yall should know by now that O is too busy taking applause for being the "Last, Living Temptation" to mentioned any damn body! That's why Dennis will always get props because he's hasn't forgotten where he's been & where he is. Gee, makes me wanna hum the melody to "Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are)". ;D Seeeeeee yall later!

JILL, CP AND SEAIN, WHAT CAN I SAY? YOU TOOK ALL MY THOUGHTS RIGHT OUTTA MY MOUTH ABOUT HOW GREAT THE REVIEW PERFORMED--THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!!!!!. I JUST FELT SO PROUD OF THEM. I WAS GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR. I NOTICED THE RESPONSE AFTER EACH ACT AND NOBODY GOT THE AUDIENCE UP LIKE THE REVIEW DID. IT WAS SO EXCITING TO BE PART OF THAT LIVE TAPING. OK--SO WHICH ONE OF YOU IS GONNA BE THE FIRST TO GO TO A LIVE TEMPTS REVIEW SHOW THIS YEAR? IM TAKING A SHOW OF HANDS.

Hey Eizzie! They didn't show the backstage interviews here. The Westbury music fair is aways from me but I could get there if I had someone to hookup with! When are they coming this way? BTW, Westbury is an outdoor hall so I'll have to bring along the cam to catch all the action(if I have good seats!).
