RUSSELL NEAL: THE R&B KILLER EX POP STAR TURNED MUDERER (HI FIVE CURSE) 

She was supposed to be going out of country. I believe her Mom said. That was the suspected trigger. She was moving on and up.

Yep!

@user-op5kv5ys3owe do not need to hear his side!

@user-op5kv5ys3ohis side: he’s a loser, had been a loser most of his life and couldn’t handle seeing anyone else being successful

@@phattyfresh👏🏽

Didn't he always seem so intelligent from the interview....? He will no doubt play crazy trying to say He Snapped...Yea...Snap His ass in handcuffs ...Throw his ass in the cell with His brother....They can both take the slow fall to Hell

I'm thinking myself what parents raised two killers?

Yep. She allowed the BOTH of them ZERO responsibility, so, she's just as guilty!

​@@summerlyric506 A mother that has coddled her children, leaving NO room for them to be responsible for their actions.

​@@marciawade9101Just like every other blk woman with a few dollars in this country and that is why the black murder rate is so high and ain't noway around that fact(she is by no means alone)..

Responsibility and Accountability 4 ones ACTIONS.

Both of their women looked alike smh wow

Yep

Unfortunately yup!

Yep! 💯 This guy had two educated, successful parents…Even got into the music biz. If he didn’t want to stay in the group, he could’ve done A&R or something. He had a better start than 80-90% of Black Americans, and he still turned out a spoiled, lazy loser!!!

Most definitely because you have to have balance and his parents didn’t

🤭 stewpid 😫🤭😂😂😂😂

😅😅😅

You are a whole fool.🤣

Sure is 😂and not only that Russel had beady eyes never trust a person with beady eyes 😂😂😂I hate those dudes smh

😂😂😂

treston was average at best. if he was so good he would have sang lead vocals at some point. toriano could sing tho. that's his voice on the first album.

@@demontemorton6381 🧢 Tony couldn’t sing a lick Tristian was the real talent

@@L92185 😂😂😂😂😂

In November 2005 in a live studio radio interview, it was Tony Thompson, along with four members of his newly reformed Hi-5 group, interviewed with New York talk show host Wendy Wms., this is when a call comes into radio station while on air from enraged ex-member 😡Treston Irby, a former first Hi-5 replacement, he was a quick fix, and due expulsion of talented R&B original/founding member 16 yr. old Toriano Easley (‘89-90) as this group’s debut album Hi-Five was finished and ready for release, first single “Just Can’t Handle it” already released (Aug.1990) and video were doing very well… On air it was Tony who said of Irby’s singing ability “he can’t sing… he had a few speaking parts, and if you don’t believe [it, me] then ask Clive Calder […] at Jive records” Calder was the CEO of Jive Records, who’s said to have had a hand on any music recorded at Jive.. and the master mind behind Backstreet Boys Britney Spears NCYNC..: this trio turned him into a billionaire that nobody knows… Tony alone is the same caliber as this trio.. and he was the only reason for High Five aka Hi-V in the first place.. those other members were part of the strategy too promote Lil Tony before a solo career “I want a little kid like Michael [Jackson]” from Hi-5 Unsung (2014).. It seem Irby came to realize “it’s always about him” meaning Tony who could sing and a natural talent. This group started out initially under direction per a production deal (Nov. ‘89) with their first management (Ford & Bell) record deal made with Jive/RCA record company. The Hi-5 group was built around Tony Thompson (friends, family). All those classics from the 3/albums recorded 1990 1992 1993 are a compilation, the Hi-Five “Greatest Hits” final album (1994) plus his debut 1995 solo album “Sexsational” and his 2005 project “The Return” truly is Tony Thompson’s legacy as phenomenal recording industry artists, and everlasting music will continue to live on bcz of brilliance in vocals recordings, and history will eventually show his rightful place amongst R&B genre music as a 🐐💯

Im sure he wasnt flat broke,,,they probably gave him money but he wanted more,,even New edition was broke startin off,,thats part of the process...Rome wasnt built in a day,,takes time ..but he was selfish and greedy

@@keepitreal1339 Nah, you weren't paying attention. It was their 3rd album and they were only making $60,000 apiece after going gold twice. No other business professional is expected to settle for so little, especially after having successes. But we tell our own to settle for less and be taken advantage of, WRONG. Additionally, New Edition had to fight for fair pay. None of Hi-Five's members wanted to rock the boat. Two completely different situations but both indicate that the record companies rip off black artists, which is the point. I wouldn't ask you to settle for pennies in your profession, so stop asking black talent to do the same.

true @@tiffanysedits5406

So he takes the life of the mother his children, because the industry did him wrong. Then his brother does the same thing. Something was wrong with their family life growing up. This is what they do when they can't have their way. Kill what they suppose to love.

@@denisehenry3427 You guys are willfully dense. It's merely a factor. Something that connects to why so many celebrities spiral out. All I wanted to do was point out the industry angle because multiple things can be true at once, for crying out loud.

For sure

Thank you for your support 🙏 💯

And their father an attorney

@@rosalyndee7707 big facts💯‼️

i feel the same way.

That part 💯🎯 Tony was the best and cute RIP Tony 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Yeah Tony was a cutie but I was crushing on Russell 😳🙄. That crush definitely is gone now.

Agreed!!! He thought he was more than what he was. We all know Tony was the star of the group. May him and Pooh continue to Rest In Peace and Power!

She said checking for Toni 😂😂

Yeah Tony was definitely the main star. Something was off about Russell even back then . His eyes don't look right.

EXACTLY TF 😫

She needed him and not the other way around..

Don't 4get about The Temptations. They Were equally Cursed.

🤲🏽

Look at me syndrome

@@onetwo12onetwo526 nah I’m sure that’s how u were brought up tho 😂

@@onetwo12onetwo526 you probably a wannabe tough guy probably.

@@Youngkel95 if u wanna be famous you'll do anything to get where you are 🗯

Thank you for watching 💯

Agree

​@@beyondthefamecelebritystories Can you do a story on Luther Vandross & Bernie Mac?

His late mother (d. 2018) was a doctor of education, earned PhD; father name is Lawyer, an educator and member of clergy ⛪️ 🙏🏼

@@julslatt6294. I am so sick of plp like you who think that someone is above doing wrong or being wrong just because they have a title, money, fame, education, or is a church member/clergy/pastor/deacon. It is a fact that Narcissists and other disturbed individuals hide behind those titles like wolves in sheep clothing. The fact that he wanted to speak with his mother (for comfort) after deliberately killing his wife was not normal and neither was his mother’s response to it. Maybe he should’ve called his MOMMA before he killed his wife. The fact that she is the late mother of this murderer means nothing because his wife was the LATE mother of his children and a beautiful sister, friend, and person who was robbed of having a relationship with her children and family. You can focus on sympathy for the devil but I feel others can learn a lesson from the tragedy and that lesson is…. WATCH OUT FOR MOMMAS BOYS who have unhealthy and weird relationships with their mothers and/or mothers who have weird attachments with their sons. Both of her sons KILLED their wife/children’s mother. Only one son had a moment of fame which is irrelevant to him choosing to kill. That Norman Bates stuff is real sir.

Probably? They WERE entitled/uppity !!!

EXACTLY!

Exactly what I was thinking.

That's my favorite song by them ad well. I sing it all the time. Reminds me of a certain someone from my teens. ❤❤❤

@@Nille0212 lol I remember hearing it in sister act 2… whew the 90s was a time
