THIS IS WHY WE NEED ALL THE ORIGINALS.I USE TO FALL ASLEEP WITH EN VOGUE ON REPEAT

@jamiebaxter7965 4 года назад

F&M don't get enough credit for being the visionaries they were to even create a group such as En Vogue in the first place. To hear them speak of what they thought of each woman chosen, even down to picking Rhona to come in when she did, shows they're not just out-of-date beatmasters, but true artists in their own right. #neat #visionaries

@22loveofmusic 4 года назад

This episode was probably the best! I love hearing the stories about how EnVogue started. Plus, this was my first time hearing how Rhona came into the picture! 👍

@tlewisisdope 3 года назад

It is SO clear when Tommy speaks about each lady's voice that he understands deeply what their voices can do. I now understand how they could never give the wrong leads to any of the ladies. That said, I'm super curious to hear a Cindy-led "Waiting On You" or a Max-led "Waiting On You." Even though that remains my favorite Dawn lead (and one I wish she'd perform live)

@urlildawg2 4 года назад

I love that Rhona came into the fold as a songwriter. She brought two of the best tracks to SoulFlower. Her energy is pure.

@071oakland 3 года назад

I don't care how Cindy and Terry and producers try to pretend that Maxine and Dawn is not important to this group!! But when turn left or right' You will always have to acknowledge!! The visual and the sound that we invested in! Is all four original members!!!! I've seen the show without the. Dawn and Maxine!! And I'm sorry to tell you it's like you're doing karaoke show.. You girls need to come together and realize that the public is not going to accept what you're putting out!! Until you make it right!! Share the name!! Share the money!! And share the fame!! It's no more than right. The songs that the original girls performed on is what is keeping the Legacy alive!! Don't get it twisted..

@@faayidah And that was the last time En Vogue had hits and their music didn't sound like rough demos from the 80s. En Vogue returned in 2000 with a song that was a watered down "My Lovin'" since apparently FMOB's career as producers doesn't go beyond "The Big Payback". That single killed En Vogue's mainstream career. FMOB's "production" of bland knockoffs like "Ooh Boy" has prevented a resurrection of En Vogue's success.

EnVogue had sold over 10 million albums after the Funky Divas album and didn't make any money. After working from 1989-1997, not one of the girls had made a million. They don't have good business sense. After working for about 7 years. Damn shame. No wonder Dawn and Max were pissed.

@umamizaddy 4 года назад

Foster mcelroy have the same mentality as Pebbles with TLC. They are unoriginal. They got lucky w the ladies in the 1st & 2nd albums by stealing other artists music. They hijacked every opportunity for envogue to reach greatness. They rather destroy their creation than to see the ladies move on without them. Terry and Cindy can't comprehend the big picture and turning a blind eye to the destructive force these 2 men have caused. This is why maxine and dawn will never return.
