Cover Star: R.T.I Sing Jackson 5’s ‘Who’s Loving You / I Want You Back’

Published: Saturday 18th Sep 2010 by Sam

This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star (s) are R.T.I. The London-based trioconsisting of Raqual, Tina, and Ivy, serve up a rousing medley of Jackson 5 hits ‘Who’s Loving You’ and ‘I Want You Back’ – with an Envogue-esque flare.

Check out their showing below:

Home-run! With the commercial Urban music scene in dire need of raw talent (especially here in the UK), it’s so refreshing to see a group who possess it by bucket-load. Powerful vocals, tight harmonies and the all-important ‘look’, the ladies (aged 21-18) have it all.

If there’s one niggle, it’d be that their take on ‘Who’s Loving You’ pretty much wiped the floor with their rendition of ‘I Want You Back’ (which, comparatively, was a little flat in places). Still the ladies nailed the performance overall and certainly are ones to watch out for!

    Very true indeed that ‘raw’ talent is needed in a rather BLAH industry landscape. These ladies pack a solid punch that with both some tweeking and the ever-so-popular GLOSSING (where the average joe goes IN and comes OUT as if from the pages of VOGUE itself!) they will be a serious SUCCESS. Their vocals are great, and their camaraderie makes for a fabulous image of girlfriends who actually get along, work along, and sing-a-long TOGETHER. Ladies, here’s to your future. xxo

  14. Dev September 18, 2010

    I cant really hear anybody but En Vogue singing that. Anyway, thought i recognised them and looked at the xfactor video which was good. Good luck to them.

  15. daseekah September 18, 2010

  16. GETMELOLLY September 19, 2010

    They are talented!!!

    Go to the US girls! You see what happened to the likes of Alexandra, Alesha & Terri Walker to name a few. Unless you’re happy with singing nursury rhymes…they have no clue what to do with blk females!!!

  17. JDE97 September 19, 2010

    “Who’s Loving You” was a Smokey Robinson & The Miracles song…

  18. NUNYA September 19, 2010

    they sound good and all of them can sing, I just hope one person dont do all the singing like that other girl group. Anyway hopefully they;; bring something new to the industry if they get signed
