    Keisha wasn’t needed, but the mood and sensitivity of the video and song match up nicely.

    Now, I’ve been trying for years to like Keisha….i wanna like her but i just can’t. Not sure if its her acting or her personality but whatever it is….it just doesn’t sit right with me.

    I love the song and I Love Tank as an artist, but this was boring….BORING musically and visually. It felt like it was a track on the album that should’ve stayed that way…. sorry.

    His rendition of this is great. Not over done and his voice is crazy. The vid is kinda dumb though and although Keshia looks great…somewhere along the line she forgot how to act (shrug).

    The original is one of my favorite songs ever; this was a beautiful cover. Tank’s voice sounds soulful, and I hear his emotions/feelings in it. I would have preferred the entire thing without Keisha; she is talented but the scenes with her distracted me from the song, the feeling and the artist’s performance. It would have felt more wholesome without her and the heels and the tears and pretty much the acting.

    He should have learned the actual words. He changed a few up. But he sounds great.

    Love this song!!! Just was jamming to track #13 on Tank’s LP. The original is amazing and Tank’s cover is nice on his CD. I wonder why they decided to re-record it. But hey, he is still an amazing artist. Production wise and vocally the version on his LP is better.

    Just my opinion.

      I totally agree I was bored throughout the entire video and was wondering where exactly it was going…how hard was it for her to stand in the parking lot crying and then run and hug him? song is nice though

    Sang Tank! Beautiful voice! Keishe did a great job, sometimes its the song that makes the video and the characters are just there as accessories. I think it was deep and not boring. He was reminiscing and expressing to himself and thinking it was over, then she comes up and there is hesitancy and then appears she does have feelings for him after all as in the emotion and final embrace. I liked it. Sweet,raw, and simple. Wonder which parking deck in the ATL they shot the video. Well at least it looks familiar.

    He has a great voice. But a lot of ppl are mean they don’t even give him a chance should he have half-naked video girls feeding him grapes?

    What makes this music video boring?

    I really hate how the avenue of music had gone downhill it’s all about selling sex, flashy clothes and nasty ass video girls, money and cars. smh.

    Where’s the music?????

    I honestly don’t care about the video. Are you listening to this? Immaculate. This is one of my all time favorite songs. And, he sang his arse off. Flawless.

    Love the song. HATE the video. It might as well be a Nuvo commercial because that’s all I saw for the first minute anyway. Love Keyshia, but didn’t get her role in the whole thing. Why is she crying? Why is he not crying? Is she leaving him? Too many unresolved questions.

    Amazing how timeless a well written R&B song can be. Even this nobody can make it sound good. I wish there were artist out there capable of making well written R&B songs. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.

    As an artist my self , i loved this whole production. I look up to Tank, Jamie Foxx, 112, Jagged Edge, Next, The old USHER all the way up to the confessions Album this is who inspired me to do what I do!!!
    This video served its purpose, it gave the viewer a chance to connect with the song with their personal opinion. It allowed you the room to interpret the song for yourself value. This is where music should be, but simple minded ppl won’t allow it to surface because they are blinded by the flash and hott ladies in videos, to where you care about the materialistic things of an artist. Which was set up for rappers not R&B singers. Man get bk to expressing your feeling and the real you & who you really are with the power of voice and dope lyrics!!! Some ppl know the responsibility that they have, and it’s to keep real R&B around and alive!!!! Support real R&B music!!!! Yo & Check me out too on twitter,YouTube,Facebook/@soundsofjira
