Uh, yeah. And as you can see, they were looking as bitchmade as humanly possible. And check out Chico DeBarge with the blond hair!

What about the cover on chico's 1986 solo album?

I think marty looks a little more bitchy than el and the brother in the white
sleevless shirts. El is hardcore these days.

OMG, it took three attempts for me to get through that. What was going ON? Their hair, earrings, Chico, James, the fruitiness of it all...

phunkdaddy said:

You mean his debut album?



That merely shows he had bad fashion taste. The promo photo for his first single, "Talk to Me," was the photo that was bitchmade, IMO:

Dear God.

I remember the single back then and not thinking anything of it. Now I look at it and really have to wonder if something else was going.

The DeBarge family of the '80s were some freaks but now they look hardcore. I saw a recent picture of James with a bald head wearing a tank top and black jeans. Chico looked hardcore after he got out of prison. El has got some rough edges too now. I wonder how Marty and Tommy look now. I know Randy is looking like Randy.

The funny part is that El, Chico and James are in their 40s and they are trying to look young/thug. That hardcore look is also made possible by drug abuse.

Najee said:

Unfortunately you're right. And yeah El's also damn near 50 dressed the way he is, tsk, tsk.

Timmy84 said:

I still think they are as soft as cake. I still don't think El's ass can take a punch -- that hardcore look is based on abusing drugs and jumping on women. And no matter how James and Chico try to thug-out their look, we still have that Punky Brewster clip to remind us they're not that tough!

I didn't see the actual video but I saw screencaps of them on the episode. I swear, you can conclude that most of the DeBarge men were least half-fruity if not all the way. I mean it's like black men trying to be punk rock but it's not working out. I'm glad Chico cut his hair off, he looked like a damn buffoon with that Dragonball Z do on. If that WAS his hair.

All I know is, Chico better NEVER get into no beef with anyone and try and act hard, because all they're gonna have to do is pull out THIS cover and that's ALL she wrote for his wanna-be thug ass!

You know what they remind me of Five Star. Talk about being camp and over the top. The Jacksons were never overly macho either, but they look positively macho compared to Debarge.

whatsgoingon said:

Oh Lord!! Making the Jackson's look more macho by comparison, spelled doom from the get go, didn't it?

MuthaFunka said:

It's like early Prince, early Madonna, & some 12 year old girl on MySpace all rolled into one

Najee said:

Call me crazy, but I love femme men back in the 80's...girly girly!! El was waaaaay prettier than Prince!!

lonelygurl8305 said:

Well, he was definitely bitchier so I guess calling him prettier is true, but he wasn't more attractive

Najee said:

Wow that (the performance) was bad! Chico must've been popular in prison, particularly if any of the inmates got a hold of some of these clips/pictures.

whodknee said:

Lol. I can't watch this!

Jboogiee said:

Oh you have to! I couldn't either but after I couldn't resist any longer, I haven't stopped laughing!!

No one can convince me that Chico DeBarge's asshole is still a virgin after sitting in prison for five-plus years with this photo out there.

Please, you probably can't even hear his farts anymore.

Najee said:

Man i ain't even trying to blow that thought bubble above my head.
This photo for talk to me is just plain scary.

Hell yeah, that boy was definitely picking up the soap in the joint. You can't get any sweeter-looking than that. Dayum.....
