Round 2: Keith Sweat’s “Make It Last Forever” (Riley) vs. Rather than run back “The Show” as his opener like he attempted to use it on Saturday, Teddy instead opened with one of his greatest ’90s smashes, SWV’s “Right Here.” Babyface countered by telling a story about Michael Jackson (whose “Human Nature” Riley’s production sampled) using him to try to set up a date with Halle Berry - which ended up being a segue into a Halle quote from Boomerang, and then his own ’90s R&B opener from that movie’s soundtrack, Toni Braxton’s “Love Shoulda Brought You Home.” Expertly played, but tough to compete with “Right Here.” Toni Braxton’s “Love Shoulda Brought You Home” (Babyface) Round 1: SWV’s “Right Here (Human Nature Remix)” (Teddy Riley) vs. Check out how Billboard scored Monday night’s writer-producer’s duel between Babyface and Teddy Riley below. Still, even with the late-inning quasi-rainout, there was still enough for a full ballgame. Issues with Teddy’s sound and Internet popped up throughout the bout, but the two competitors still nearly got all the way to round 20, before Riley’s connection cut out one final time, and the two could no longer get back into one another’s feeds. But by 8:10pm, both writer-producers were present and accounted for, and sounding good - finally ready to get the battle going. Such issues also threatened to compromise the duo’s third try at the event, as viewers were told to decamp from Teddy Riley’s page to Babyface’s, and then Babyface had trouble patching Riley through to his own page.
