Have You Heard What Happened To R&B Girl Group Allure? PLAIN SAD!

[@AskieFox-i2b]

All cried out is great 90s song

[@ChellyShellyHTX]

It was actually a rendition. The original is by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam featuring Full Force, which was in the 80s.

No offence to Allure, but it's not up to Mariah to keep you in work. She gave you the original opportunity. What you do with that opportunity is all that matters. Don't be a victim and reel off every bad thing that happened. Everyone said Mariah would never work again when she divorced Mottola and again when she was dropped from Virgin Records, but she went on to win loads of Grammys with The Emancipation of Mimi! When one door closes, you look for another one that's open or buy a sledge hammer and open it yourself 👀

[@victoriahollinger-qj5bw]

They should reintroduce themselves using the internet

[@letitiacooper98]

Definitely never wait for someone to feed you always make your own moves

[@natashastcyr6903]

I strongly disagree. The whole purpose of being under a label is so the label works for you and you are just performing the work like that is the whole purpose of a label to get the jobs and book the jobs for you that is what manager and labels are for like are y’all serious? It was exactly Maria‘s job to get them work.

[@bilalmalik6665]

Mariah wasn’t even sure about her career during the divorce.and we saw how after it Tommy tried to destroy her. Its not great but I can imagine allure and the others were less of a priority.

[@RykiClement]

@@bilalmalik6665 precisely my point

[@natenoreaga6696]

Allure was Destiny Child before DC. The lead singer could of easily been Beyonce...

[@rasberrybombay2]

U ain't neva lied...allure and destiny's child is truly the definition of mirror image. And im talking about the original 4 members of destiny's child

[@TionnaSmalls]

I loved them as a group. This is a great video!

[@Sttephy30]

Tommy Mottola shelved them, bc Mariah didn't wanna be with him anymore. Simple as that. He wanted to even ruin Mariah's career. But she still managed to sell another 50 millions albums from 1997 - 2009. So, it didn't work. But he tried. That's fucked up bc Mariah really took interest in them. I don't think Mariah should've ignored them tho. lol.

[@devin837]

These girls were MY EVERYTHING. I hate that they had so many obstacles and things pulling them away from where they wanted to be.

For me allure got my attention when they sung a sing with nas. Than when they sung all cried out with one of my fav groups next to dru hill, 112. I started wanting to hear more of their music. Hell I still listen to them songs 2024..frfr allure and destiny's child is truly the definition of mirror image. And im talking about the original 4 members of destiny's child.

[@Loved4Ever]

One of my favorite groups. I still play their 1st album. This Is My Last Chance is still one of my favorite songs

[@Truthhurtz618]

Mariah wrote that

[@RykiClement]

While Mariah's contributions to the group were undeniably significant, it’s crucial to consider the context of her personal life during that period. At the time, she was navigating a tumultuous divorce from Tommy Mottola, her ex-husband, who actively sought to undermine her career. This backdrop of personal strife coincided with the group’s signing to a label under Sony and their ongoing tour. Unfortunately, the first major repercussion of this challenging chapter was the group’s deal with the label, which ultimately led to their disbandment. This scenario is a common narrative within the music industry. When a major artist faces contract issues, it can leave their supporting acts vulnerable and uncertain about their futures. A poignant example is Jermaine Dupri, who experienced a similar fate when So So Def dropped him. His artist, Fundisha, had a standout track titled "Pull a Left Eye," yet she too saw her opportunities diminish as a result of the surrounding turmoil. Those fortunate enough to have a burned CD of that song know just how talented she was. This cycle of disbandment and lost potential is a harsh reality in the industry, often leaving artists feeling disheartened. Despite these challenges, I’m glad to see that the group persevered and kept the music alive. Those girls had incredible talent, and I couldn't help but dance when I heard your tracks. However, Mariah's choice not to mention the group in her book likely reflects her desire to close a chapter of her life that was filled with difficulties, allowing her to heal from the situation. Unfortunately, this meant that you all were caught in the crossfire. Nevertheless, like Mariah's song suggests, you made it through the rain, overcoming numerous obstacles. Stay blessed, for you have undeniably left your mark in the R&B landscape of that era.

[@repique10]

Saw them tour here in Australia back in the day with 112, man those girls could sing!. Quality music as well!.

[@lovelymelanin9336]

[@antoinettedalton5308]

It wasn’t necessary for Mariah to mention them in her book, pretty sure lots of things were left out. In fact she never gave these ladies any thought because they weren’t closely involved in her life like that…🙄

[@joannwilson9097]

I like Allure I got their first two albums and this is no shade to the group it's like Great Value Destiny's Child sorry lol but they had potential & talent

[@diamondseries7221]

I don't think Allure should have ever signed with Mariah. To date she's had no less than four record labels which have all flopped!

[@AchillesandArtemis]

They signed with other people and still didn't prevail so they are the common denominator, not her. You must have forgotten they were most successful under her label.

[@diamondseries7221]

@@AchillesandArtemis no! If you listen to the story correctly, the group was already rolling with hot producers when Mariah jumped in trying to get a piece of the pie! And sadly after the Tommy and Mariah saga, both Mariah and Allure have had their fair share of struggles. That's why I'm saying they never should have signed up with her!

[@AchillesandArtemis]

@@diamondseries7221 I listened to the story correctly. That’s why I know that after Mariah, they never were as successful as they were when they were under her. If they were hot 💩 like you’re saying, and she was just jumping in, they should’ve been able to have some success without her. And like you said both allure and Mariah had their fair share struggles, but Mariah steel managed to stay relevant and successful. When Mariah got them, they were no one, and she managed to build them up nicely, get them charting, and have high profile collaborations, and they would’ve kept getting more successful. Had Mariah was able to keep managing them. Their downfall really started when they were not under Crave anymore even tho at that point they were somewhat proven to have potential so at that point it should’ve been even easier for them to succeed.

[@careyello]

Tommy Mattola's quest to destroy all things Mariah is why they ended.

[@diamondseries7221]

@@AchillesandArtemis I never said they were hot! They had not even released one song when Mariah came! Like Allure said, Mariah was in the vicinity while they were busy recording, liked what she heard and wanted in. Unfortunately, Mariah's dramas negatively affected the group, who failed to recover after being dumped from her Crave record! Basically they became collateral damage in Mariah's saga. They should have signed with another label!

[@Dedicated2WendyWilliams]

okay allure chapter 3 was bad, what are you talking about... that album was horrible lets call it for what it is and not sugar coat anything.

[@TheUrbanGentAOB]

No, it definitely wasn't on the level of their major label releases, but it wasn't a bad album. Obviously it was an indie album without a big budget, but there are several solid songs on Chapter 3. Music is subjective and we all like what we like, but to call the entire album "bad" would be quite the reach. Adjust your major label album expectations and listen unbiased.

[@JamaicanFlava]

​@@TheUrbanGentAOB I agree! I think the first half of that album is really strong while some of the songs the 2nd half of the album could've been reworked or left off the album. Songs like Long Lost Love, Bitter Sweet, Hate 2 Love U, & Let Em Go could've been hits if they had mainstream backing. My biggest issue with their 3rd album is that Linnie (Hem-Lee) isn't on it has she was my favorite member and I love their harmonies as a quartet. But they still were able to pull off solid vocal performances as a trio.

[@TheUrbanGentAOB]

⁠@@JamaicanFlava Well said. I agree with you 100%. I also missed Linnie being in the group. They lost their 1st soprano in the harmony when she left.

[@JamaicanFlava]

@@TheUrbanGentAOB They've actually never truly lost their 1st soprano in the harmony as back in the day both Lala and Linnie have swapped between singing 1st & 2nd soprano. Lala still sings it til this day. Shoot as a trio, Alia has even sung 1st soprano sometimes when they sing a live acapella. BUT it's not the quite the same without Linnie & it's a shame a reunion might never happen...

[@TheUrbanGentAOB]

@@JamaicanFlava I never viewed Lala as their 1st soprano, but instead their 2nd soprano. Linnie just had a much softer voice than Lala, but Lala had more power, in my opinion. Linnie also had a strong falsetto.

[@fithealthyme101]

I can imagine Mariah being upset. She just divorced the of Sony so i can imagine

[@SweetInterlude]

Sorry, but many big artists have had bad label experiences and still prevailed from their talent and determination. Sounds like they got stuck in a rut, and blamed Mariah whom was just a face of a vanity label with no solid financial foundation.

@Stardust Daily It's bad timing & comes across as "tacky" for you & your camp to put this out at as a possible controversial story during Mariah Carey's family members' passing. Regardless of her personal relationship status with her family members. She's still a human being with feelings, emotions, & exceptional talent, simply she is still human with memories, whether good, bad &/ or indifferent. She's grieving & in mourning. Please RESPECT THAT! Not to take away from the singing group Allure & their story, I feel this is possibly an income outlet for you, but honestly, this video is NOT helping ALL parties involved.
