Obviously an UNBIASED opinion of O's current lineup: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris 1800 11-03-2003 01:49 PM ET (US) I attended the shows in A.C. at the TROPICANA and i will tell you it was a mess.The lead singer MR.G.C.CAMERON, could not even hit notes known to the Temptations, just awful.OTIS and RON were trying to dance and shake like never before not!!!!!!!THE two of them were not even in step or on time just awful!!!!!!!!What's up with all the trying to dance since Harry left the group, they really looked stupid.You all want reviews well i am here to set the record straight.MR. TYSON and MR. WILLIAMS acted as though they were trying to compensate for something or someone missing, they sure did try hard but they couldn't succed. The night with the yellow suits was like a circus act!(THE SINGING WAS TERRIBLE)Terry i feel for you, because you did not seem to feel the vibes like you did before BO and HARRY left.Who was the absent BARITONE singer trying to sing in a bass voice? ?? The music was not even right.To really get down to it OTIS MESSED UP BIG TIME THIS TIME.I have been going to see the TEMPTS since i was a child, and i have never seen or heard them like this.......In keeping it real my opinion is that if you make changes they should be for thr better not worse...and they are worse really bad.....I will never attend another show with this lineup, it stinks in more ways then one...AND oh,what's with the pictures and t-shirts with Harry and BO'S'LIKENESS still on them? I WOULD GUESS THE ANSWER WOULD BE TO FOOL THE PUBLIC to still get ticket sales, very decieving!!!I DID NOT ENJOY THE SHOWS AT ALL THEY WERE OLD AND LOUSY, NOT TEMPTS STYLE AT ALL. -------------------------------------ok ya'all this is an unbiased opinion b'cos ol girl she just likes Otis -- that's all so she got to write a dissertation about him every time she gets a chance. okay, here's some more where this lady toe ellen another A__ hole! LOL! Shirelle 1799 11-02-2003 06:55 PM ET (US) OH I forgot to tell you, the word about is spelled A-B-O-U-T not A-O-B-U-T, Now who is it that can't spell? Shirelle 1798 11-02-2003 06:30 PM ET (US) ELLEN .....HA.. thought you had something on me didn,t you? (HYPOCRITE) Shirelle 1797 11-02-2003 06:15 PM ET (US) ELLEN... Aside from being a hypocrit, and a liar, you mean to tell me you have vision problems too? ?. Looks like your the one who needs prayer. -------- alright now -- it's about time. I posted to Terry Weeks and told him 'don't let them ruin your voice Baby - that is your money maker - Otis is getting ready to retire soon and you still have a ways to go" I'm quotin me for those of you that did not know....

But lordy, lordy, somebody betta give her her money back!! ;D AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Here's another: (it's sad that people don't want to believe folks)... sigh... ----------------------------- OUTRAGEOUS 1801 11-03-2003 04:15 PM ET (US) Chris /m1800...could you please go to the Temptation Concert Review and post this review, here is the link www.quicktopic.com/8/H/ETuhkUqAznqC. No one is going to believe me about the concert. I was there also. They had this guy name Joe Herndon backstage singing bass. A few of us who were there felt similar to you!

LMAO!! Whaaat?! It was that bad?? Lord, no wonder it's so quiet! LOL! Now those folks have to be careful they don't get called a "hater" for expressing what really went down. You know, some folks have trouble separating reality from fantasy! ;D

ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LMAO!!!!!!!! Are any of us surprised? Otis and dance shouldn't be used in the same sentence.LOL!LOL! Ole Boy finally got the review he has deserved for Years ;D ;D Well at least we now know Otis has ONE fan. Her name needs to be in "Ripley's Believe It Or Not". D . Common she was being more than kind in regards to Otis William's dancing. I think the word is Preposterous!!!! LOL!LOL! I really needed a laugh Evita. Thank you. Common you're right REFUND is the correct word to be used in this situation. "Ain't Nobody Comin To See You Otis". ;D ;D ;D

This is sad...somebody needs to tell the 'great business man' you should always leave the game on top! I think maybe Otis stayed at the fair a little too long. But I guess when you are still working after 40 years in the business, you must need the money bad! He should have been retired years ago and sitting somewhere on a hill...only touring when he feels like it. Man, he must really love what he's doing...especially if it's keeping a roof over his head!
Otis...a word to the wise...you gotta know when to hold and when to fold!

Lawd, I've got to reread this stuff!!

Kas, I think you did miss it! ;D Check your mail. Molly: YOU ARE DEAD WRONG FOR LAFFIN AT O LIKE DAT!! AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Can somebody say Social Security benefits for the Holy O?? ;D See, people don't believe you until they see it for themselves. Everything O does is always covered up by this "business decision" crap or it's the ex-Tempt fault. Gimme a break! Either O has a serious streak of bad luck or he's just as pathetic as he continually keeps proving to be! I can see Harry being let go if he kept drugging & whatnot but what's the excuse with Bo? I was never fan of this lineup because of the so-called "fans" & lack of passion that this lineup omitted but at the same time, there must've been something there to make these people want to spend there money & carry on the way they did. Now what? He's got a "baritone" singer singing offstage(why does this sound like Richard Street?), GC not up to par & he & Ron trying to act like the Nicholas Brothers! LOL! This show sounds like a HOT, STANKY mess! I would've been pissed too & would've demanded my $$$$$ back! LOLOL!

and it continues -- FINALLY -- some of the fans see what we here at the Palace stated all along! It's not that anyone dislikes Otis or anyone else BUT if you disagree with them about something then you are a HATER and all this nonsense -- It seems Otis' fans are just like him, if you don't agree with him/them - then they don't like you and try to ostrasize (sp?) you, slander and defame you - I know what I speak is the truth b'cos of certain things they tried to do to me, but it's cool BECAUSE the PROOF is in the and the TRUTH is out there now... Check this out... -------------------------------------------------------------------- No one is saying that the Tempts are not loved! People have different taste, likes and dislikes, this makes the world go round! What I don't understand and have a problem with is when someone gives a glowing review oh that is fine and dandie, but let someone say something different and right away all the hate pops out! What's wrong with that??? People can't disagree? Just because we didn't agree with your assessment (sp)doesn't mean that we or they don't love the tempts. I am quite sure they would appreciate any critique of their performance. To better themselves. Example, when one is getting ready for a night out and ask do this wig look ok or should I wear the ponytail instead....then the person would tell you what looks better, you either take the advice or not. That's all we are doing. Why can't we just respect the other's opinion! Ruth 1802 11-03-2003 08:39 PM ET (US) Edited by author 11-03-2003 08:43 PM Harry, I am so sorry you are no longer with the group. I hope You, Bo,Theo, and Ali will form a group:))>>>> and see if Terry will come aboard too! also see if Ron will jump ship too, yall will need a strong tenor:))))) But seriously. I wish you and your wife the best. And to the lady that spoke her mind about the concert, I do understand, cuz Otis is no entertainer by himself, even with a great singer like Ron on his side. OTIS WAKE UP BEFORE YOU WILL BE KNOWN AS THE TEMP THAT HAD/HAS NO TALENT, WHO GOT RID OF ALL THE ONES WITH THE TALENT. They do have a word for this, it's called Jealousy. Poor GC! You should have stayed with the Spinners. ----------------------------------- All I got to say is EVERYBODY AIN'T LYING!!!

Molly, this is the reason why I didn't support O's lineup in the first place. It is the so-called "fans or fanatics" that turn me off. If you don't agree with them, then they berate, belittle or alienate you because you ain't sayin it the way they want you too. As if they are the ONLY ones that are putting money in the Tempts pockets!!! The worst part is that some of them are "johnny come latelys" who never heard of the Tempts until the miniseries! I'm not surprised that things have spiraled out of control in O's group. It was bound to happen with the egos within & outside the group!

(((Molly))) to show you how HYPOCRITICAL some of his fans are: When you post a review at a qt board other than their "qt concert revew" board, the sneers and innuendos come out saying that why don't you post it at the concert review board -- OKAY, when you go to the qt concert review board - unless IT IS POSITIVE, then you should not have posted it, then you are posting negative stuff. I mean what is it with some of these folks??!! Just like I said - if you do not agree with them all the time - then they don't like you. It is obvious to me that Otis' fans are just like him. If you do not agree with him/them ALL OF THE TIME then it's SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU or they don't like you all this kind of ignorant nonsense. Hell people have a right to their opinions and they have a right to voice them. What?!! It doesn't mean anyone likes or dislikes someone -- it's just how 'that individual sees it'. Well, it's all coming out now. And some of his followers (I see ellen ain't posted yet today anyway) NEED TO LEAVE IT ALONE, BECAUSE THE MORE DISSERTATIONS YOU WRITE, THE WORSE IT LOOKS FOR OTIS' LINEUP. IT'S LIKE THE DISSERTATION WRITERS ARE TRYING TO DIFFUSE THE SITUATION. NAH, NOT THIS TIME. People are not stupid and people know what the Temps are noted for. I'm talkin bout people like me and others that just did not get hip to the Temps via the miniseries, but have been hip to them fromt he beginning of their careers. Those of us who have interest in the MUSIC and only the MUSIC know the difference...

Hello Everyone: I've just gone through the posts on the show and the current lineup. Personally, the last time I saw their show was in Trump Plaza in AC, NJ about 7 years ago, and it was a tired act back then. There was no energy to it, and it seemed that the run was over. Personally, I like authenticity. That played a part of it. Who pays to see Otis? That is just torture esp. if you ever saw The Temps as they once were, the most talented group in show biz.[ Please note how I avoid personal opinions.] If Dennis came back, I'd see them again. But that would never happen, but I hope I'm wrong.

((((Andy)))) my kid would love you! LOL! She has seen both lineups - O's and Dennis' and she said:
"Ma, Dennis' group is LIVELIER" "Otis' group performs like they are puppets".... oh well... and it continues.... ------------------------------------------------------------Chris 1722 11-04-2003 04:33 PM ET (US) Thanks Outragous for posting the review, because i did not have time to post it again yet. I don't know you and have never met you, but i have been reading these boards for sometime.I know what you mean when you say that people can't express their opinions unless they are saying something that other people on these boards want to hear!! I have been attending the Tempts shows since i was a child and like i said this was the worse show that i have seen them perform, not for making mis-takes but just not good showmanship as entertainers......Some people will not tell the truth because they are (false pretenders)Yeah people that don't know any better would think that the show was good not!!!!!Joe the Baritone man could not even be heard. I had 3rd row seats and i saw and heard everything!!!!The show was not in good taste at all. So all you people on these boards stop your lying....Now you are lying on Harry's brother how sad!!!Anyone who knows the Tempts shows know that it was LOUSY YES.....Stop lying to PLEASE OTIS OR WHOMEVER IT IS , BECAUSE WHAT SOME OF YOU ARE SAYING IS JUST NOT TRUE!!!!Outragous i am writing this to let the WORLD know that things are not the same as the last linup. GC IS NOT TEMPT MATERIAL, AND HE CAN'T TOUCH BO, AND JOE CAN'T TOUCH HARRY-BOOM BOOM and thats a fact for real, Otis just messed up this time that's all, why can't some people admit it, Big O did what he did for his (OWN SELFISH REASONS)BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!!!! I PUT THAT REVIEW ON THE BOARDS BECAUSE I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THE TRUTH...TERRY I STILL FEEL FOR YOU, because the vibes just, are not right and it shows, the quality is not the same.BELIEVE IT PEOPLE!!!!!!!FOR REAL!!!!! I KNOW YOU ALL SAW IT WHO WERE IN ATTENDANCE. ------------------------------------
I told ya'all that the more they write dissertations trying to diffuse the situation, the worse it gets. But NOOOOOOOOOOOO they don't listen to me and ya see what is happening. Chris ain't lettin up! tahahaaaaahahahHAHAHAHAHAHA! IT IS PITIFUL!... ahite I'm out.. Peace!

Hello Everybody. We should know that anybody that actually admits to be a fan of Otis Williams would be very defensive. I still can't understand how Otis got fans,but I can understand a fan supporting. But to get mad and act all "ignant"is beyond me. Otis has ever been a good entertainer....NEVER!!!!!!! See people that have been Temp fans for years have certain expectations when they go see the Tempts. These new comers have no idea so they really have nothing to compare it with. But regardless everybody has a right to their own opinion! Evita you summed it up. " Those of us who have interest in the MUSIC and only the MUSIC know the difference..." Nuff said!!!!
