Milli Vanilli had some fire.... why did they pick 2 german blacks with braids to form the group?

Tellin' my :flabbynsick: here... but this is the Kevin Liles version from '87 with his group Numarx. It was actually a local hit here in Bmore... which was crazy as shyt when the MV video came out in '89... it was like "the Numarx song??" :pachaha: I was like 9 and I smelled a rat

That's Frank Farian's MO

Take a song that is little known or local, revamp it and all of a sudden it becomes a hit.

Don't believe me? Listen to Ann Pebbles' I can't stand the rain



Now listen to Eruption's version



Farian has been doing this for years.

why couldn't the real artists/singers be the actual group?? wasn't like these 2 :wrist: nikkas were sex symbols :mjlol:

music was flames regardless :banderas:

the dance moves :dead:

they should have put them like this

pretty boy ; leads
songwriters: backup song writers back up vocal on the session
teach the pretty boys to sing

||

and form a band together

no sure why the didnt just keep doing that

or the original creaters could have been the lead sexy symbols

They barely could even speak english, doubt it would work but I get what you're saying. That woulda been better than what they were doing anyway

Californ-i-a by way of BK
They were considered sex symbols and that's why the label used them instead of the other people. They came out with an R&B album after the entire debacle. Didn't sell obviously than dude killed himself

Remember C&C music factory? "Everybody Dance Now" joint. They did the same thing. They used a skinny black chick for the video because some big black chick actually sung it. I think it was the one that was running the Cult in that episode of Martin that was the real singer of that song.
