Only in Atlanta can a trip to the mall turn into a concert. Tameka “Tiny” Harris and Toya Carter were out meeting fans when a group of young boys stepped up, opened their mouths and started singing Boyz II Men like they had been rehearsing for this moment their whole lives — and FreddyO’s camera was right there to catch every second of it.
The fellas took on “Thank You,” the feel-good record from Boyz II Men’s classic 1994 album II, and they did not come to play. Taking turns on the lead and stacking those harmonies acapella, with no track and no instruments to hide behind, they had Tiny, Toya and everybody watching grinning from ear to ear, and the shoppers around them stopped to take it all in.
It is a big summer for both ladies. Their BET reality series Tiny & Toya is introducing them to a whole new audience, with Tiny holding it down at home while putting together the OMG Girlz and Toya stepping into a spotlight of her own. Moments like this show exactly why Atlanta loves them — they stopped, they listened, they clapped along and they gave these talented kids their full attention.
As for the boys, something tells us this will not be the last time they sing for a crowd. Anybody who can tackle Boyz II Men acapella in the middle of a busy mall, in front of two of the city’s favorite ladies, has a real future in this business. Press play and enjoy — and remember where you saw them first.
