[@DeeDerry]

Trust me, I loved Groove Theory and Bryce is very talented...But I actually love Amel as a Solo artist...Effortless talent 💯👌🏽

[@cpthetrucker9067]

She signed my "Infinite Possibilities" CD after a GT show in Atlanta.

[@marcharmon5960]

Completely effortless ❤

[@MakeAdifference-fi5jr]

The music was great.

[@MakeAdifference-fi5jr]

Yep, it was a great sound to bad such a good thing ended too soon .

[@DeeDerry]

@@cpthetrucker9067 Wow!, Id love to see her...I'm in London and have never seen them/her live.Been a fan since the 90s ❤️

[@janaecatt2407]

Her name is pronounced “ah-mel LaRue”

[@carlitah74]

Thank you, because he is severely butchering her name.

[@mackmccord3743]

It hurts my brain to hear him say it every time.. And.... It's aRRenbee. Not R (space) N (space) B. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[@marcharmon5960]

THANK YOU!!! I HATE THESE 'BOT VIDEOS

[@murph8837]

I was thinking the same. He is almost going out of his way to pronounce it incorrectly.

[@mackmccord3743]

@@murph8837 and then says it correctly at times. It feels like we're all being trolled lol

[@altonjohn6348]

You are Butchering her name.. Amel is very successful as a solo artist.

FACTS

[@Haneefa45]

He pronounced Wale as whale instead of Wah-lay. 😂

[@DeeDerry]

I kept correcting him out loud while watching

[@GinoBlackOfficial]

A.I. voiceover.

1st Comment, happy it is for Groove Theory. "Tell Me" and "Hey U" are in my Top10 R&B favorite songs... Such passion and creativity, great talents in a nutshell 🙌🏾

[@SmokeD-dl2ju]

She's so spicy 🔥🥵 &- cute and she could really sing _2 ( LoL)_🎉😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@hideTurtle]

amel's voice simply sparkles. what a beautiful person, vocalist, and artist.

[@666TheMelaninCode]

Bryce Wilson's biggest production credit is Toni Braxton's "You're Makin' Me High", nothing else he's written or produced has matched its success not even his Groove Theory's "Tell Me".

[@champion8473]

You talking credit success, tell me touch way more peoples heart and soul then making me high. Tell me saved humans lives

[@MK-ss7yw]

So in other words he wasn't shit without her 🙄 yeah yeah yeah sure we got it SMMFH

[@4CQueen]

Amel was always one of my favorite vocalists the girl's voice is ridiculously amazing. She definitely shouldve been more famous than she is, the only reason Beyonce, IS more famous is because she shakes her behind and Amel actually SINGS.

[@bobbycoleman4925]

I know that's right also no mention of her single with the sade folks

[@bobbycoleman4925]

Aka sweetback

[@TaijaMartinez-u1r]

ALSO THE VIDEO YOU SHOWED WAS HER SOLO SONG FOR REAL.

[@divinedelaware7541]

😢🔥🔥🔥

[@GinoBlackOfficial]

No mention of Bryce’s work before Groove Theory as a rapper with MANTRONIX. Not thorough.

[@RteeAlvarez]

Ikr! Folks need to do their homework before posting documentaries of the artist.

[@hideTurtle]

also an awesome duo

[@genetatum8547]

Yep,Mantronix this should move ya album

[@Shorti928]

I wanted to like this but , putting lack of proofreading and your timeline is incorrect ..I could not. thing that annoyed me about this was that you only played For Real multiple times which was not a groove theory song and mispronounce Amel's name . You could literally find album tracks online to play. Then Bryce didn't start acting until after groove theory disbanded he wasnt well known either when groove theory first started he was a producer on their roster . He was actually in a Group previously before. Groove theory called Mantronix very briefly but did release music with him. Then posting random pictures and videos not associated with the timeline was annoying.

[@DeeDerry]

Remember Mantronix! Wow, they where big here in the UK

[@TaijaMartinez-u1r]

HER NAME IS PRONOUNCED A MELL LA ROO.

[@altonjohn6348]

Thank you!!! He butchering her name

[@lovleeness]

Oh my God how could he not do his research to find out how to say her name!!!

[@MAGEtvPTB]

...back in college in the 90s, one the homies out me on top them and i was hooked! They even had tight instrumentals.

[@propellerblades17]

This dude is doing that on purpose. There is no way he's never heard her name pronunced before. Smh

[@iammsbuie]

What kind of AI…whyyyy did he pronounce her name like that 😂

[@janaecatt2407]

It’s not AI

[@Tuck718]

My song 🎵 For Real

Bro just jacked her name up. That almost made this invalid of watching

Yes the Video is very informative about their Careers, Its Nice to Reflect Back on Music 🎶🎶🎶 History They are All Very Talented.

[@cmane21010]

This song playing by the way is "for real" by amel on her solo album not groove theory

[@bellareid3488]

Keeping it 100, I watched live performances by Amel, and her voice is very hit-and-miss from what I have seen. Pity, her "studio voice" is absolutely stunning.

[@dawb86]

lol. "studio voice" is a bit much. I think many artists don't put enough effort into the live performance aspect and training for it but that's not the same as the acts that flat out cannot sing and have engineers using programs to fix their horrible vocals and make them sound decent. Amel seem like the kind of artist that like to do smaller, intimate venues rather than big stadium level productions sitting down with a guitar singing to a room of maybe a hundred and fifty onlookers at the most.

[@nerdsalsocomeinchocolate2740]

From what I have seen with the posted live of Amel singing of the song. She does better keeping it original like the album version. Too much changing of the song especially adding vocal gymnastics can add to oversinging or under singing of the song.

[@stephaniemurria5534]

I saw her live in Detroit. Wasn't impressed at all.

[@doctero]

These mispronounciations are ridiculous

[@flames252]

😂🤣😂

[@jeaninerichardson7179]

WOW, this was extremely insightful. I definitely absolutely respect people that aren't willing to sabotage nor gut out their work nor compromise its and their integrity by being Lackluster. Their formula was very unique encompassing great writing, great music, & great concepts & great vocals!!!✍ 🎉🎊🏆🧸

[@ariellagarde1449]

"Hey, You" "For Real"❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@dashiajames1882]

Tell me is such a iconic song 🎶..!! You could play it today & no one will be mad. I love her voice. Tell me has a bit of Jazz, R&B & soul 🙂🙂..!! Sounds like she has a french or italian name...!!

[@anthemmakersmusic]

Heck of a group!

[@kellsmo9488]

This is top 5 female centric lead RnB albums ever made. That album still holds. Altho Amel did her thing with her solo career.

[@TheHappinessHelper_XO]

Did you mispronounce ger name to get engagement?...you got me thinking over here, lol. Honestly I enjoyed this because of my love for the group so I am going to congratulate and not hate. Thank you for taking the time to put this together and most of the commentary was spot on.

[@A75MComics]

A-Mel La-Rue...

[@motownzfinezt]

How u switching out lead singers when people look for the face who started it

[@BreeBrog]

Sounds like a user, dude didn't have the voice but can produce. Why didn't he just be a producer, why did he have to be part of the group? I don't buy he didn't want to be in the limelight, why did he start acting if he didn't what to be in the limelight. It's more to it, why they broke up... Make it make sense

[@DJTonyGalactic]

I'm sorry that this was long and boring.

[@renaissanceinblack]

The only criticism is some pronunciations (Two-Pack?). You could easily watch some footage of the artist's name being pronounced. Other than that, great viedeo and channel. I appreciate havjng somethi g positive on youtube. Also, we need to demand good music like this. GenZ is missjng out.

[@CutiePie-hh3gg]

Reminds me of Natural Selection

[@champion8473]

Groove Theory Amel singing and Bryce producing them songs, saved my life. She spoke to me like a woman through her songs and i needed that at that time, i had females but no disrespect they wasn't a woman or women

[@ivalinapasse2469]

I think the Biggest song was Mantronix Very Successful. Most of his Songs were very Successful.

He is so fine ❤

[@ldnuk2356]

The amount of repetition

[@tyffanyjadegriffinbell]

If you're going to do these research how to say their names correctly 😒 turning it off now that you've said her name wrong twice now. How can any of the info be right if her name isn't

[@overstandinggod3410]

Why the Cleo Sol video edit was in here, makes me think this is A.I. generated

[@AnonymousLioness_97]

I must be in deja vu cause I remember the song for real being out in the 90s, not while I was in high school 🤔...and why did people have people thinking that they were together?

I am so sad to hear that. I tried looking up a recent photo but couldn't find one. It's just as well, I would rather remember fine Bryce.

[@MrPaololoco]

Hahahahahaha

[@ohhhhhnooooo]

well I noticed that he dumped her because she is light skin, and he moved on to work with Brandy, Toni Braxton and Mary J. Blige who are dark skin. Groove Theory youtube video has 70 million. Making me High video has 61 million. Then he worked with Brandy... which album flopped and only sold 214,000 copies in the United States and youtube video 700,000 views. Mary J. Blige - Don't Walk Away (1997) with 70,000 views. Then he worked with Makeda Davis, a dark skin black woman... and the Groove Theory failed in 2001. If he had kept working with Amel Larrieux, maybe he would've make multi million dollars by now. But oh well.

[@PrettyHair09]

You really need to listen to these videos before posting. Calling 2Pac TuPack... the last video I watched, you said asterisk so many times. People get the pronunciation correctly.

[@bubba198706]

I knew it was AI when it pronounced Wale name as “whale” 😂😂😂

If you managed to watch this video till the end I give you props. I stopped at 5:51. Listening to this voice was too disturbing to finish the video 😢, butchering Amel’s name and saying R…and…B 😮… I couldn’t.

[@samsamd9167]

Wow! What an awful collection of information on these two artist. Amel is a phenomenal solo artist. Bryce is doing well (to my knowledge) The music clips you're using all pertain to Amel's solo projects, not as the duo group Groove Theory. It would be nice if you really research your information before releasing.

idk for sure if it was Bryce, but on some behind the scenes stuff or in a promo interview Queen Latifah said they put that DV scene in the beauty shop movie cus a cpl cast members were dating while filming and some DV stuff was going on behind the scenes so they wrote that part in i guess to send the man who was being violent to the other cast member a sub. msg... n then on TGIF Claudia Jordan was talking about her DV experience and said the guy who beat on her was an actor in the Toni Braxton video "makin me high".... i aint sayin it was Bryce... Im just sayin i dont see noone else in the movie from that video...
