WEHT Tevin Campbell?

His rendition of O Holy Night is really good. I think most people found out after he was busted in the park bathroom.

I thought he was busted for trying to pick up a male prostitute in his car?! Or was he busted in a restroom, too?

He was cute back then. Any recent pix?

There were rumors he was with Rashaan Patterson. Patterson was also a Star Search Jr. winner. He already seems like a queen at 12.

I think he did Hairspray on the Broadway, yes (Tevin, not Patterson)?

Recently saw him on Soul Train Music Awards - Tribute to Babyface. Still sounded pretty decent.

Today's trade is tomorrow's competition.

And tomorrow is today.

Didn't he hang out with Eddie Murphy's downlow posse back in the day?

Holy shit. That third boy Teddy Winn in R4's video was horrible. I can see him as a singer in some hotel lounge along I95 in Connecticut trying to croon. "Thank you. You've been the best audience ever. Try the veal."

In R4'S clip Danny Gerard grew up to star in a pretty good tv show called Brooklyn Bridge in 1991. It didn't last more than a season as the ratings were dismal but I used to enjoy it a lot. He's a writer now.

That voice is still amazing. He's apparently reviving his career.

A complete bitch during the 'Spray.

He ain't gay. He jus' haven't found the right ho yet.

I remember reading that someone who used to work with Prince said that they caught Tevin masturbating behind the curtain or scenery watching Prince while they were making the Prince video in which Tevin appeared. That seems rather scuzzy.

From the link I attached . . .

Though their were murmurs about his sexuality before the fact, people really started speculating after an arrest in 1999 where he was caught by an undercover male cop soliciting "lewd acts." He plead no contest to the charges, paid his fines, and had to attend Narcotics Anonymous classes as well as an AIDS awareness course, but his career fell off at that point. While many people believe that he is openly gay, in an interview he claims that he could care less what people think of his sexuality. Well, at least he stands out now.

It's nobody's business what I like to do behind closed doors, ……And I like the fact that people wanna know. Let 'em wonder. I like to leave a little bit to the imagination. But if you happen to get to know me and we hit it off… I share a lot of personal things with friends, which is a normal thing to do."[/italic]

Well, at least he's not lying about it. Thanks for the link, r17

Oh my God @R15. I hope that ain't the truth, I love Graffiti Bridge so much.

(This is Tevin's part of the movie btw)

R19, why do you like Graffiti Bridge so much? It's widely panned as a bad and cheap-looking film. The music is good though

Round and Round is fantastic, a classic.

I still looove "Tell me! Whata ya wantmeeeee to doooooooooooo ooooh ooh ooooh!"

Sigh.

I know it isn't high-art or even quality filmmaking, R20, but I appreciate for its strengths. It's quirky, vibrant, with an experimental feel. It's a studio musical but the weirdest take on the genre I've ever seen, which interests me. It also gives me a glimpse into the mind of someone whose music I adore and admire, so I have to value it with the rest of the Prince canon. I enjoyed Graffiti far more than Under The Cherry Moon, which I found pretentious and slow.

But, if you want a more successful film Tevin worked on, how about A Goofy Movie? The Powerline sequences are an underrated gem, energetic and sexy. It's a change from that anodyne, reedy, saccharine warbling Prince/Princess shit which that studio constantly peddle.

Thanks so much, R22. It does have its strengths even though it's bizarre in many ways (I consider bizarre a strength). I like Under the Cherry Moon for the cinematography and music, although Prince is a horrid, pretentious, narcissistic director. It could have been a much better film had Prince allowed the original director to do her work rather than make it a film of ego masturbation in which Prince and his own beauty is the sole focus. He made Kristen Scott-Thomas look like an ugly duckling compared to him.

He's got that huge Somalian forehead. Is he from there?

Yeah, by way of Texas. African Americans come from western part of Africa, not east.

R25, are you familiar with the plight of Minneapolis right now?

What is the plight of Minneapolis?

Welcome to Little Mogadishu, R27.

R27, I abhor brutalist architecture. Those buildings look horrid.

He’s trending tonight

Why, R30?

Here's why.

Thanks, R32.

^ I love Tevin!!!! Glad people were defending him.

Yep Black Twitter was not having it

There’s a separate black twitter?

Essentially

Probably my favorite song by Tevin:

[quote] Probably my favorite song by Tevin

He had more than one?

Shut up, bitch at r39.

I wonder if he was diddled by Jacko or Quincy Jones...even though they both preferred young white twinks.

Tevin's tribute to Aretha was sweet and moving,

Nice

So incredibly talented and he seems like a such a nice guy.

He says he really live his life until he left the music business.

Hmm, Freddie Jackson.......
