Milli Vanilli Grammy revoked (1990 press conference)

Girl you know it's true. When Milli Vanilli won the Best New Artist Grammy on Feb. 22, 1990, no one knew the group's career high would be a catalyst to its demise. German record producer Frank Farian revealed the charismatic duo didn't sing a single octave on its hit record. Milli Vanilli, aka Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus, had officially hoodwinked the music world by lip-synching its way up the charts. For more informaton please visit www.hlntv.com/v...

Don't blame it on the rain, blame it on Frank Farian.

[@Grande_G.]

Thank You

[@smooth2365]

Exactly!

[@434ronangaming]

Farian's dead

[@markelijio6012]

YAY!!!

[@Highlander67]

Blame it on boogie...

[@jonathanjames2162]

Wasn’t “revoked”, Rob and Fab decided to return it

[@ApastronRetro]

The world owes them an apology.

[@paulallen8109]

For what? They played along the scam. You participate and you are accountable by law. Whatever next, shall we go easy on drug-dealers just because they were coerced into it by drug barons and crime syndicates?

[@guillermovaccarezza7105]

None of this was their fault at all. They intended to sing and were told not to do so by their greedy producers. The whole scam was plotted by managers and record companies,. Rob and Fab were just a couple of very talented performers that gave 110% on stage. They could even sing pretty well as they demonstrated in their forgotten album post Mili Vanilli, shame on the industry!!

[@ursula.m8265]

They should get the Oscar for being so entertaining.

[@truthhurtz8517]

I still love these guys

[@miamimagicians]

Fab can REALLLLY sing all thier songs perfectly

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

@@miamimagicians Yeah, it's true that Fab could sing on his own now but back then I think Fab was a little embarrassed that he wasn't allowed to sing on the album. 🤑🤑🤑🤑To the producers and the marketing teams it was all about the money. 🤑🤑🤑🤑

[@markelijio6012]

Shame on you! Shame on that comment you wrote about stuff which nobody wanted to hear about everything in the past. You should be ashamed of yourself for what you’re doing and another thing, for getting yourself into a whole lot of trouble such as writing some comments which they’re totally negative and nobody wants to read those things anymore.

[@paulallen8109]

To OP. You should get an Oscar in the "inadvertently comical" category. Stick to what you know - not much I imagine.

[@TuMalditaMadre]

Frank Farian pulled the wool over everyone's eyes

[@vg2binkey884]

Tu Maldita Madre he only ended up being his own enemy thruu him. what a creep

[@guitarheroina]

Feel sad for them...

[@paulallen8109]

Save your "sympathies" for those who really have it hard. *None* of which you would *ever* lend a single thought about.

[@guitarheroina]

@@paulallen8109 I don't understand you, I say what I feel, it's not going to change because of what you say, keep your bitterness to yourself, I don't need it, bye... Feel sad for you

[@gunnyakdo1653]

what a feeling it must had been to be annihilated in front of the world.

[@vg2binkey884]

Gunny Akdo they shoukd have both sued their producer thru them

[@orubek355]

But Fab survived, amazing !

[@xxcharmed1xx]

What the fuck.. look at the hundreds of singers who dont even sing live today and they dont get shit for it like these guys did

[@warpedcomedy]

It wasn't just that they didn't sing live. It's that they didn't actually sing any of their songs at all. Their songs were recorded by other people and passed off as their own.

[@tygersflowerz]

So, in the end, there was no Best New Artist Grammy that year. I think they should have held a second press conference and reissued it to a new winner. Also nominated were Nenah Cherry, Indigo Girls, Soul II Soul, and Tone Loc.

[@yayizgarcia7965]

No , no hiubo otro ganador 😂😂😂😂ellos fueron los mejores ,y nadie más, se quedaron con las ganas .

[@fict.ion-atx]

Damn I feel bad for them. They got played.

[@moncef9389]

Donc c’est ça le moment où ils rendent le trophée

[@linahamzi7911]

Donc tu as aussi vu la video de Seb je suppose ; )

[@orubek355]

Oui ils rendent les Grammy volontairement.

[@vg2binkey884]

they didnt need no damned grammy thru them. theyre fans were their really grammy and who loved them as performers

[@snakes330]

I love them.... they're the best

[@harlemsfinest5528]

Awkward. At least they had a conscious tho.

[@blixky2007]

Ouaaaaaaisss seb

[@JL-qg3gz]

When will BeYAWNce return the ones she’s got?

[@gonaarc2612]

You mean Queen Beyonsh!t?

[@markelijio6012]

Hey would you watch your mouth? Now I cannot have this talk on many comments around here. Not in this house or anywhere else here. Ever again. Is that clear?

[@KayDejaVu]

Frank Farian would say nothing! The whole machine behind this.

[@guledali5560]

Man these guys were living in a real dream of being famous one day they woke up and is gone

[@titanchris1]

shame on you haters

[@paulallen8109]

Better to be a "hater" than a *mindless sycophant* with ex-celebrity Stockholm syndrome. Listen chimp: Do you expect any medal or pat on your shoulder for defending people you don't know personally and who are utterly oblivious to you and your vapid mindset? Have you ever done anything good or noble for people in your midst or your close ones (I doubt you have any) ? Now go talk to your dog.

[@Psergiorivera]

It was a sad event

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

Yup, this was the biggest musical farce in the history of musical farces!

[@welterskelter]

Two kids...

[@CiroDiMarzio909]

😂😂😂

[@yatiacdev]

Usame como el boton de "Vine aqui por el video del chombo"

[@jugglingbeast]

The inventors of Lip Sync

[@ivana666]

El acento que tienen es exagerado normal que hubiera sospechas

[@saviodesilva7933]

Frank Farian was and will always be the devil in this saga

[@CiroDiMarzio909]

Bigger than The Beatles and the new Elvis. Yeh right 🙄

[@dairuggerxvvoltesfifteen8756]

They faked this interview too

[@markelijio6012]

That’s why they were fired and acting like a bunch of fake people who don’t know what they getting themselves involved with lots of attention. But not anymore, they don’t. And their careers were finally over for good.

[@shanitrahan9904]

I can't believe this is happening to them rob and fab deserve the Grammy now they have to give it back unbelievable can they just keep it besides they won at the Grammy awards

[@SemiAwesomeGil]

Are you serious? They didn’t deserve the Grammy, they never actually sang any of the songs in their album. What’s wrong with you?

[@markelijio6012]

Yeah!!!
