These guys were a vibe 🤩 Controversy with them being stripped of their Best New Artist Grammy because they weren’t actually singing on the album, whew! RIP Rob Pilatus 😇

[@lepoetress]

This STILL bangs!!! They took alot of heat and sadly, Rob didn't handle it well. Fab actually has a nice voice. They tried to come back after this and they sounded good, but I think the trust was already gone and folks were over them. I think the song was called Do You Want to Get It On and the performed it live on Arsenio Hall's show. There may a clip of it on KZbin.

[@brianlinville5420]

Thank you alot of people don't know that fab could sing and still does actually prefer him singing it over the original singers. Rob I think would have been better for backing vocals. Because he had to thick of a accent.

[@lepoetress]

@@brianlinville5420 You're welcome. I wished they had been given a chance; I think Rob may have still been with us. He took the scandal really hard.

[@Lfg117]

Facts - the vocalists were great on their 4 big hits. Young bros, now, dismiss this 1989 bop as 'poppy' & dated, not understanding MV were important in mainstreaming hip hop to a much wider audience in their day. Song is not 'hard' by soul music standards, I get it.

[@joemachine4714]

This song was more popular than you can imagine. it brought joy to millions 🎵

[@sisterfate]

I loved Milli Vanilli! I lived in Germany my teenage years and we all knew the real singers were ex-GIs and not Rob amd Fab, but none of us cared. This was our jam back in middle school! Lol

[@lb8471]

LOL!! It's funny how we didn't care!!

[@mitchellsouphasith3763]

“Blame it on the rain” was their best song. They embody Milli Vanilli. They still brought joy to people.

[@dgodfrey3914]

I give less than a damn about all the controversy, this song is BADASS.

[@oliviagibbs8214]

Yo I’m right with you this soong is a bop whoever sung it

[@billytaylor4498]

EXACLEY!

[@saraeastman40]

Great reactions and song choices! Despite the controversy about them not being the real singers... I adore Milli Vannilli & their songs

[@ChristinaMcF]

They didn't want to lip sync but they were bound by a contract they couldn't afford to get out of. Very sad story. I still have my Milli Vanilli cd I bought back in the day. I listen to it when I'm in a 90's mood.

[@yousexymf]

They didn't sing anything and it's sad how their lives and career ended. Rob(guy in red) OD'd. I still rock this song regardless of who sung it.

[@rossi46636]

no bro..milli vanilli now exist again and one of them sang it perfectly..check it

[@lb8471]

I don't care what the people say, Milli Vanilli sang all of their songs!!! I mean, I don't care that they didn't sing. I liked them for what they were. But seriously, they COULD have sang this song. Hell, it was mostly talk-rapping. Not that hard. But I remember hearing one song after this big hit and wondering why they sounded so differently from THIS song. I soon found out why, LOL!! I don't care; Fab and Rob rocked!!

[@oldsch001tothebone5]

They were the front men for videos, their manager Frank Farian used a studio band and somebody else’s vocals, and had them lip sync, but the album blew up went multiple platinum, and they ended up winning a Grammy,

[@doobernow]

This whole album is fire! It wasn't them singing you are correct! But true fans (mostly us young teens) didn't care. I still love there songs. Blame It On the Rain and Girl I'm Gonna Miss you... there's not a girl at that time that didn't cry to those songs!

[@lb8471]

EXACTLY!! I don't care!!! And I hate that the world did them the way that they did. Hell, if anything, they deserved Academy Awards because we all believed them!!

[@TheFargo116]

@@lb8471 the world didnt do anything to them....they did it to themselves....how the hell are you going around pretending to be singers and not singing a single note.....they were mostly popular on the pop charts.....black radio didnt play them and black folks thought they were a joke at the time.....they just looked fake by their appearance and black folks were amused at how all the white girls were going crazy over them......black folks really felt vindicated when they were exposed for the frauds they really were it was like we told yall......im actually shocked at comments.....i dont give a damn about Milli Vanili i care about the REAL artists that should be getting all the glory and recognition for their work

[@Nonchalant_248]

@@TheFargo116 that is not true, I'm 52 years old and the Black people I knew at the time didnt think they were a joke. And the R&B stations in the Detroit area definitely played their music. If you didnt like them that's fine but come on now....smh

[@lb8471]

@@TheFargo116, you obviously don't know their story. They WANTED to sing. They signed their contracts without legal representation. Later, they discovered exactly what they had signed on to do. They REFUSED at first, but couldn't afford to pay back thei advances, so they were in a position where all they could do is live up to their contract. They DEMANDED to sing in their third album and at that point, someone admitted that they were "fakes", but then recanted his story and was paid off. However, Rob and Fab were sick of the BS and THEY blew up the entire operation.

[@TheFargo116]

@@Nonchalant_248 Bro there of course were exceptions to the rules.....black radio in your area might have played them but believe me in most major markets black radio wasnt playing Milli Vanili.....they just werent a thing.....im from NYC and we thought they sounded wack and looked like clowns with obvious makeup on.....we said look at these fake a... wanna be rappers.....then when we heard them in interviews our antennas went up when they could barely speak english.....its not about whether i like a song or not its about realness.....im seeing comments just completely ignoring the fraud and still acting like these dudes sang this song......it was disrespectful to the real artists back then and disrespectful to the real artists now.....its like everyone is still praising Milli Vanili and not giving a damn about the real artists that sung this song

[@deesee3622]

yeah it was never them singing - they had to give back their Grammy and everything; theres a behind the music vh1 did back in the 90s

[@wakeupstopsleeping6300]

Yes is true they won Grammys it was big controversy and one of the original vocalist on their music John Davis died back in May 27 2021 at age 66 But it was still a banger.

[@teakthasneak]

Milli Vanilli don't forget my number

[@brenthowell8883]

Your right little Brother! Lip syncing to to the 10th power! The songs though, were the bomb, and Milli Vanilli were the eye candy! Still doesn't take away from their 2 main songs, this one and their mega hit, Blame It On The Rain!✌

[@Nonchalant_248]

This was a number 1 song JJ so it had enough "hot sauce" at the time in 1988 LOL. But yeah they didnt sing a note on the whole album and had to give back their best new artist Grammy. Sadly Rob Pilatus in the group fell into a depression over the scandal and OD'd on drugs. They sold 10 million records so obviously people liked the music no matter who was really singing.

[@patrick3926]

In the 80s it was very common for eurooean dance acts to have models lip syncing and pretending to be singers. Many acts in Europe but not in the US. When they became popular in the US, it was seen as a scam

[@black40sunrise]

I suspect there are a few more “Milli Vanillis” out there that haven’t been outed yet. Especially some of those those one hit wonders and some with entire music careers. 🤫🤭I would name a few but don’t wanna attract haters/negative energies 😉✨👍🏿

[@annother3350]

Too late - you're outed!!

[@SopranoSistah]

You suspect correctly.😶😎

Baby, I have ALAWYS said this. Come on; who do you suspect? I got yo' back. . .

[@SopranoSistah]

@@lb8471 😅✊🏾

[@lepoetress]

You ain't lying!!

[@devonstokes7150]

They were definitely humiliated when the secret came out that they were lip syncing and the one in red couldn't deal with it. He went into depression and even overdosed but the other guy's life turned out fine. He got himself a vocal coach and eventually started doing shows where he sings the Milli Vanilli songs himself. John Davis who is one of the actual singers that performed on the original songs would perform with him from time to time until his recent death from complications from covid.

[@lepoetress]

Rob had a lot going on. I saw their Behind the Music and he talked about finding out he was adopted, how his dad was highly educated and wasn't really wanting him wasting time on cartoons. He found his father was an American GI and think he said he dealt with being the only Black kid and how he was treated.

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Sad thing is that if they hadn't been nominated for a Grammy and exploded the way they did, no one would have bat an eye about this. Nearly every show that artists performed on throughout the 80s had backing tracks that the artists were literally forced to lip sync to. So, why such a big deal for these guys? Their success just ran off without them. Regardless tho, the production value of this entire album is really, really good. There was a lot of talent going on behind the pretty faces and I think it's a damn shame that the deception caused that success to come to a screeching halt, not just for these two, but for everyone involved. They unfortunately took the brunt of the burn.

[@lepoetress]

They sure did and it was so unfair.

[@GinnyRobertsonLLC]

A guy from my small hometown in southern WV was the voice behind Rob

[@louieflash7190]

They were big and then it all came crashing down just like that. The record label offered refunds on the music to anyone who wanted one.

[@tiquilladates7842]

FINALLY… Somebody reacts to this. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The First minute of this song starts out so 🔥🔥

“It wasn’t their actual voices” - you just described every tik tok video ever lol

[@SarcasmRanger]

Lol a few awesome tracks so really who cares who actually sang it, it's still pretty awesome!

[@billtmarchi4320]

There is a documentary about this somewhere. If you looked it up or not. Think the story kinda goes. Some record producer decided to record some songs that would sell and rather than find a group or singer to record and produce he paid these guys to be the faces of a made up group released the songs. But when they started to go big the company had to start selling these guys and the singer's and had made the videos of them dancing and pretending to be the singers. Then they did some live shows where they had to do their dance moves and lipsync which turned out bad. Then they got nominated grammys for best new group and best hit song and things started to fall apart trying to fake everyrhing. This album had several hits also. Blame it on the rain and another song went up the charts I think. Until One of the live shows during an award show the recording got stick and kept repeating " girl you know its, girl you know its, over and over. And one guy ran off stage. Rob and Fab ( the fake singer's) took all the heat and ridicule. Till they couldn't take it anymore. Had a press confrence with the news where they confessed to being fake and not real singer's and handed back the Grammy awards they won. One eventually committed suicide years later. Not really their fault .

[@brianlinville5420]

And it's even worse knowing that they actually wanted to sing fab could sing and still does

[@bradleeallen1166]

This is a good song

[@lordmaul3]

There is a YT video of the real voices behind Milli Vanilli.

[@Susuli40]

They’ve always been my favorite regardless idc who sang it they will forever be my favorite milli vanilla. And when my mom told me she hates them I looked at her like 😑 bc it’s rude and I honestly dc

[@TheFargo116]

Just an added note to what ive already said....i see lots of people saying they dont care about the fraud they just loved the music....Milli Vanili 's life was tragic and i feel sympathy for that but i just cant go with perpetuating a fraud and not singing a single note and getting all the glory.....imagine how the real artists felt putting out all the hard work and not get credit because they didnt have "the looks"....... So sad and im not sorry for the way i feel

[@lb8471]

It's cool. They actually refused at first, but were not able to pay back the advances they had received. They WANTED to sing. When they signed their contracts, they THOUGHT they'd be singing. They were surprised to find out that they wouldn't be singing. The should have sought legal advice before signing their contracts.

[@brianlinville5420]

They where lied too. Fab can sing and does today he actually sings all there hits

[@ldybozz]

They couldn't even lip sync in the video. Everyone was duped. You're right it was a huge scandal back then. One of the dudes never bounced back from it. I think he committed suicide from the years of depression.

[@sharonmincey6023]

Martha Wash of the Weather Girls, sued C&C Music Factory and Black Box for hit Gonna Make You Sweat, which were here vocals, but used a Model too lip sync. You should take a listen 🎶, that's if you haven't already?

[@RichieD1783]

Literally not a single word was sang by either Milli or Vanilli

[@jeffkatt]

The biggest (embarassing) scandal in music history. They had to return their Grammy for Best new artist when it was discovered that they lipsynced everything they did.

[@KrawnKam]

The same week the scandal broke I was walking down the road and before my feet I found a cassette labeled Milli Vanilli.

[@brittanybliss4534]

From what has been said, the real singers were middle aged and overweight. So, the record company people didn't think they would be successful. So, they got these two guys to "stand in" for them and lip sync. However, the real vocalists did know about this arrangement and we're compensated.

[@jayeell1253]

The one in red jacket (always forget his name) committed suicide after the the controversy and their career was hit bad in the public and tabloids

[@brittanybliss4534]

I have talked to Fab. Very nice guy.

[@kimberlyjohnson7926]

No they didn't song, but we didn't give a damn. This& Blame It On The Rain still jam . The sad thing, they took a lot of heat. Fab can actually sing I look at his videos on KZbin. RIP Rob💜

[@jasonwayne5576]

They were broke and they were offered money to come in and play the role not thinking the song would take off like it did and once it started picking up steam it was too late....

[@015Froggy]

They were set up by Farian..Farian has a history of using voices for eye candies..he got off clean..and Rob and Fab took the SLAP..i was a teen during this time..the HATE was unreal

[@yesdex5996]

Yeah wanted you to hear it that song won like 7 Grammys that more of the reason they got bashed so hard one of them killed his self for it that goes to show you record company’s don’t care about you they set it up two as they said handsome guys smh

[@kevinwindley7872]

The hip hop heads at the time hated this song, KRS 1 Through them off the stage, LOL

[@JuanLopez-co2ex]

Me duele tanto por ellos dos sufrieron mucho por el maldito productor los que salieron perdiendo fueron solo ellos dos y solo sus nombres salen manchados de fraude y que el el tal frank nada no pago nada siguio adelante con mas bandas y su nombre limpio. Rob y Fab si podian cantar ya los escuche y son muy buenos lo que paso es que los fans les dieron las espaldas

[@virginiadurant8391]

Honey, They pulled the biggest CON on the whole world. They should have went to jail for taking everybody's money.

[@brianlinville5420]

Fab and rob where bound by a contract they wanted to sing and actually could but they where threatened with a lawsuit.

[@TheRealHoltzy]

The two that appeared in the music videos lip synced everything. Their voices weren't actually that bad. Here's the studio demo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpjOonxveZmCkM0

[@zjthatyoungan]

The biggest hoax in music history crazy how they’re careers ended so badly 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Cedsoncole]

But the one guys who’s still alive can sing tho

[@MightMouse2174]

Sounds like a movie they were paid to play a role they were thinking they make some money and disappear and the song became a hit and had to keep up the front until that ( fateful ) day the tape got stuck and they were found out !!!!

[@johnashley327]

A lot of fake shit going on in the 90's. This is still 🔥.

[@greganderson1445]

I have no clue why the one's really singing didn't get credit for their work. The album was good. The 2 that were lip syncing got shafted. Management hung them out to dry. I was a senior in high school and liked the whole album when this came out.

[@TheRealMiamiman70]

A lot of fakery went on around this time period. 1988 - 1993.

[@domju4970]

My points go to the real Milli Vanilli, the real singers of the song

[@boaconstrictor3754]

You look like they are your idols🤣

[@smittybenzo4693]

The video where they got caught should lip syncing should be on KZbin...They never sang one lick.

[@lb8471]

The irony is, they confessed after a track skipped while they were on stage, but MANY people lip synced to tracks. I always thought at the most, they should have been ashamed to have been lip syncing. That could have been explained away. But MV was sick of the BS and let the cat out of the bag.

[@brianlinville5420]

What's sad is fab can actually sing and does till this day

[@BayAreaSon]

I knew they wasn’t singing this the first time I saw the video. Wasn’t hard to see the voices didn’t match the looks

[@johnneils9084]

Sad story begins with a hit ends with a tragedy. Copy & paste beat.

[@lordmaul3]

By now I'm sure you know they were lip syncing. Despite that I still listen to their music.

[@theDavidChannel1]

They were basically frauds. It was another duo who was doing the singing but the studio/managers chose these guys cus they were good looking and marketable. Can't really blame these guys because they were just young and going along with the idea. But when they got exposed they became the biggest joke in music.

[@spicyhot2552]

They weren't even singing ...they were lip singing. They gave their Grammy back . So sadly no need to watch false advertisement.
