@iamsydir I spit my water out reading this!!!!! Lord have mercy!!! You're NEVER lying!!! Lifetime needs to take several seats! I can't with them!! Smdh LMAO 😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀💀
I just watched it last night and it was so good. Someone should be taking a shot every time i said how they looked exactly like the original members. And the acting was so good too
I hope this brings justice to Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus (RIP). They got lambasted and shamed for doing something that makes random Tiktokers famous nowadays.
yeah he actually sound better than the "real" artist(s) who sung those original hits. Even at his older age now - his vocals are great! Damn shame how they were done! smh Exploited and taken advantage of fully by corrupt "Hollywood type people. smh... Shit they went thru, the stress, axiety, depression, and the shitshow aftermath after they were outed... they actually deserved those damn Grammys imo.
Fab did redeemed himself, and saved his reputation. Gotta give him respect for making a comeback, improved his singing, and singing the music that made him and Rob famous.
@@huelu982 being stupid and naïve in any country is not good. USA has a lot to offer to people with brains, but will use you and abuse you if you are naïve and stupid
Everyone who turned their backs on them and called them cheats & fakes are hypocrites. Anybody would have done that if they were offered millions & fame.
I remember this used to be the conversations throughout the 80s and the early nineties did they really sing that song? And I remember they talked about them on in living color TV show on Fox 32 LOL
@ericthegeneric1611 Singers Brad Howell, John Davis,Charles Shaw, Jodie Rocco & Linda Rocco sung on multiple tracks without realizing they were being used cheaply.
@@JMac7395My aunt was a somewhat successful singer in Germany at the time (sang female vocals on Rock Me Amadeus”. She knew about Milli Vanilli before they were exposed and even told me to come to Germany to make money by doing this very thing. I laughed because I bought into the MV craze and really thought they were singing. 😂😂 Germany had weird tastes in music being that David Hasselhoff was a huge deal there so, I did believe I could go and it work. All that to say, it was my understanding that the vocalists had an idea of what was going on and what could happen. I’m sure they didn’t know the group would blow up like this though, but maybe not completely duped if that was a practice back then?
@@ChrisMusson-kv8phyou can absolutely say that - being proud of your race is wonderful. It is not the same as tearing down another, as your comment seems to be implying.
I hope the surviving member makes some money out of this. They were so young. Groomed and duped by unscrupulous business people, only to be humiliated on a worldwide scale.
Fab and Rob's daughter (or sister, could be wrong)are consultants. Everyone who was actually involved with what took place is a producer or a consultant. @ARIARI-to2eb
@anthtan because they were used as the scapegoats. Sadly, their race made it easier to do so. The world saw it as 2 young black men lying and deceiving us. Plus, a lot of people on the outside of the industry didn't have knowledge of the ins & outs of that industry. Since we know so much more about it now, this movie will right the wrong done to these brothers.
He's doing really good. There was a show on I think the Paramount app that went into super detail about them and the who still living still do shows have a good life and and family. Hes learned to embraced his legacy and past.
“Exactly” is a bit much. One of them seems like poor casting but then again, he was an incredibly handsome young man. Maybe it’d harder to find a match…with that natural eye color.
@@westmcgee9320 you can get only to or 3 eye color in black peoples eyes black brown and blue very rare black people have blue eyes and I can only name one actor who has blue eyes Michael eely from Beyoncé’s halo music video off her Sasha fears album I hope his like name right despite eely not being his real last name but brown his real last is Michael brown and thing with the Rob and fab betrayals I just gave my honest opinion
They were MASSIVE, which made their demise even more tragic. Yes, everyone laughed when they fell through. Sad thing is though, everybody lipsynched back then. Rob and Fab were the faces, like so many other acts who had studio artists making the music. But they were just so wildly popular, and the music only succeeded through THEM. So rip Rob and salutes to Fab, who’s luckily overcome all the bullshit and is enjoying a great life as musician and deejay.
@@doh4828that’s what kill’s me, the majority of singers will do some or all lip sync at their concerts to give their best physical performance while not off on the music. It’s a common practice and most people knows this and are okay with it.
Those songs are classics! And those guys are legends! I really felt bad for them when the news broke especially since the whole thing was not their idea. They deserved better and I hope they do a good job telling their story
What was sad was they could both sing well,they just weren’t allowed to. They proved it after the lipsync truth came out. Sadly,nobody wanted to sign them,and one of them,Rob,committed suicide. 😢
As someone who came into his twenties and thirties between '86 to '96 , l remember how big they came to be with Girl, You Know lt's True and Blame lt On The Rain and then that track got stuck in "Girl, you know; girl you know....." in that concert filmed on a camcorder and sold it to every 📺 network that wanted to show it.
The music, the looks, the image, the dancing, the scandal, the downfall, the interviews, the backstory, the documentaries, the resurgence of Fab, and now the movie... with the exception of Rob's death, we've loved it all. Amazing story.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE DUO OF ALL TIME AND NOTHING COULD MAKE ME NOT LIKE THEM!! Thank you Milli Vanilli for making my childhood great! I would sit right in front of my big back tv as a kid and wait for channel 44 on the B side of cable to play your videos on “The Box”!! Good days when life was simpler and music gave you true joy!! I love y’all foreverrrrrrr🎶♥️🎤🎶
People to this day still talk so much trash about them but they have no idea about HOW this all came about. These guys were used, abused and thrown to the wolves.
I remember in the 80s we'd cut class in highschool and go to a 'video bar' that had TVs mounted on the wall and watch MTV videos. I remember seeing Milli Vanilli's videos and told people that they were not the singers...to me it was so obvious! No one believed me. I really liked the band. Well, I am surprised it took so long for people to figure it out. I'm no expert at all! It was just super obvious. Crazy times!
What makes their story the saddest to me is in the end they went back to Frank Farian because no one would touch once they were exposed, smh. They went back to the people who used & abandoned them
@@alk3hall977The sad part is they actually DID have talent. They could sing, but the label didn't care enough for their singing abilities and just wanted their image to put with a hit song that was already recorded. They even released an album recorded with their real voices. But the damage was already done by then, and nobody wanted anything to do with them.
I just watched this biopic, and it was very touching. I know Rob is smiling down from Heaven, and Fab is keeping his memory alive. I cried at the end when Rob passed away. To the two young men who portrayed Milli Vanilli, YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB ❤ ❤❤❤❤
The first concert I ever went to was Milli Vanilli in Sacramento 1989. Young MC and Jaya (If You Leave Me Now) opened up for them. I remember they were all good.
The other guy who is still alive today can really sing well. I think its their thick accents at the beginning that is holding them back from singing it in their own voice competently.
to be fair they are a million times more famous and worldwide. They still get replays in parties in african villages😂. Run and PE are only now known in the purist and oldhead hiphop circles, even the general hiphop crowd barely knows them
loved them, their dance, their music...the 80s everything..who gives a shit now if they mimed...always love listening to them again and again...time machine youtube
I work in the Music Industry here in London and have written and produced for a lot of very well known bands and artists both here and in the States. What's really quite sad with Milli Vanilli is that this still goes on today with a lot more bands and artists than people realise. It always has. They were just very unlucky because they wanted more creative control, more input and worst of all tried standing up to the producer and machinery which operated behind them. That very rarely works in any of the Entertainment Industries - especially if it's going to start disrupting people's money and you are their cash cow 😳🇬🇧
Will definitely be watching this. No denying the songs were absolute hits but feel bad for what Rob and Fab ended up going through, it wasn't their fault they were 100% used.
@@ramanjeet1111 The US distribution company. They tend to release a lot of cheap/bad genre movies. None of the major distributors picked this up for a wide release so they're doing a simultaneous release in limited theatres and on video on demand rental.
We can't say that they were perfectly innocent. But they were naïve as well as they really wanted to be stars and be loved by the fans. They needed money, they were basically penniless. What was not fair that there were others who were responsible ( some of them even more than Rob and Fab), but the boys took ALL the blame. I cant really tell whether Rob could ( or could have learnt to) sing/rap well. But I think Fab is really good. (Not a genius but geniuses are VERY rare. ) They both had this charisma what is more than being very good dancera and having good looks.
I wish people were more understanding and accepting when this all went down! The world would still have a bright star shining among us, but instead he burnt out bc this world was too cruel to forgive and forget! I was 10 yo at the time and knew it wasn’t as bad as everyone made it out to be. Just sad…RIP Rob ❤
I feel so bad for them :( especially Rob. Yes, they weren’t the real singers, but they did not deserve that hate. Literally influencers now in days get famous for doing absolutely nothing, at least they tried to redeem themselves and show people they could sing.
I'm so glad a biopic is coming out about their situation! Because listening to his interviews you will look at their situation totally different from how the media portrays them.
The Actors In This Movie Are: Tijan Njie - Rob Pilatus , Elan Ben Ali - Fab Morvan , Matthias Schweighöfer - Frank Farian , Bella Dayne - Ingrid " Milli" Segieth and Tijan Marei - Carmen Pilatus
Now, this is a biopic I want to see because there is a real story in there. Who wants to see cashgrab movies about superstars who produced many hits and whose lives already played out in the media when they were famous? We need movies about really interesting musical acts.
Rob and Fab could actually sing. In fact they were already recording songs before they were Milli Vanilli. The problem is, Frank thought they had thick European accent to perform an American R n B song. But yeah the two were taken advantage of.
@@amybess In Europe this was an open secret. In fact, if you look at the album covers of Milli Vanilli released in Europe, it had a print there that said something like "Visual Performances by Rob and Fab".
