Both were unable to join each other’s iG lives. Now, Instagram didn’t allow the two iconic figures to officially finish their 20 rounds of classics. Some may have called last Saturday’s battle a “complete fail,” but tonight truly allowed viewers to hear never before heard music stories, and reintroduce themselves to shelved acts like Karyn White while indulging in an overload of nostalgia. The versatile musician didn’t come with just R&B-tinged tracks he came hard with hip-hop bangers like “Get You Home” by Foxy Brown and Babyface and JAY Z’s “The City is Mine.” With a long, remarkable career of writing and producing megahits for not only himself, but for the finest in music (Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men), his placements seamlessly predicted most of Riley’s moves.ĭon’t count Riley out. For instance, when Riley played Blackstreet’s “Deep,” Babyface countered with “Red Light Special” by TLC. While he said that they were keeping each other on their toes, it was clear that he had the upper hand.
But, the battle continued swiftly on Babyface’s Instagram page minutes later.īetween the 20 classics, and Babyface serenading us during round 13 with an acoustic performance of his own hit “When Can I See You,” two things can be taken away from this historic battle: Babyface is a strategist – always thinking ahead Riley is impulsive – in the moment. Nearly 10 songs in, the Instagram Live cut off due to its hour auto-stop. Babyface kept The Deele’s “Two Occasions” on reserve, and introduced “Love Should’ve Brought You Home” by his musical wife Toni Braxton with a story about the icon Michael Jackson wanting to take Halle Berry on a date. Instead of returning with “The Show” by Slick Rick, Riley started the match with “Right Here” by SWV.
