They had amazing vocals - perhaps better than SWV.

Khandi said she gets asked almost everyday if Xscape will get back together. She says no they won't. She said they just didn't get along PLUS they didn't make any money. She said they had three platinum albums but made no money, so why would she get back together with girls she didn't even get along with?

Her and Tiny get along very well though. She says they are going to work on songs for Tiny's daughters girl group, a group I feel doesn't have much promise but what do I know?

Hell, isn't that always the case when these young people get into the entertainment business, they really don't know any better so it's easy to screw them out of their money. And the reason they didn't get along was because Jermaine Dupree was dickin' em all down lol.

And Tiny's little girl group is awful. The time for female groups (groups in general, really) has long gone. Look at Diddy's failed attempts, Danity Kane and Day 26.

Ooh I did not know that about Jermaine! She didn't elude to that.

Yeah it's a shame new artists get so taken advantage of. Spend the thousand dollars and have a lawyer look over the contract!

Yes Tiny's girl group I'm afraid has no vocal ability whatsoever, yet again neither did TLC but they were VERY successful.

Girl groups might be over yet it isn't stopping Beyonce from getting back with the girls apparently, a move I champion (shameless DC3 fan).

Tiny has always been hideous and this video just shows how far ahead of the pack En Vogue was vocally and harmonically.

Yeah I actually heard about it on a radio show.

And DC is getting back together? Where did you hear that? I don't care for them, though their music wasn't an awful as Beyonce's solo work is.

True, they got better and tighter as they got older, but never close to EV's level.

And yes, youngsters, we did rock the Cross Colours with a vengeance back then. lol

Preach. I never was a DC fan. I liked a few songs but that was it. All that talk-singing shit got on my nerves. EnVogue was/is always has been a far more superior group than DC, Xscape, TLC, SWV, etc. They were the true funky divas. nod

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

I wouldn't even put DC in the same category as those groups. They all had great music. DC belongs with the likes of 702, Blaque, and 3LW. evillol

I remembered this, I didn't think they'd amount to anything but I thought it was decent. Tiny looked so different lol I'm not shocked that they did not get along after a while. It was always Kandi and Tiny versus the Scott sisters.

So much DC hate!?!

I applaud the producers who put En Vogue together because they picked 4 women who were VERY talented. I'd say THE most vocally blessed girl group period.

BUT, Destiny's Child were fun. Girl power to the nth degree. Every song an anthem. Sing along at your own risk everything was so fast and furious. Even their light stuff (Bootylicious) felt like a dare. Vocal gymnastics that made you laugh out loud?

Head wagging, finger snapping, pony-tail flippin, eye rolling deliciousness.

How could you not like these girls?

DC made music for girls....EnVogue made music for WOMEN. Clear distinction.

Jermaine dated Kandi and not the other three. That why the other two didnt get along with her

lol I feel old as heeeeell right now. I remember seeing this the weekend I stayed at my cousin's house. She was CRAZY about Teen Summit and I was running all over the living room until the girls came on and my cousin was like "Vuh-Ronica, sit down."

Cross Colours....daaamn. I wanted to wear that stuff but never got around to it. I don't think I missed much. lol Ol' Mark Curry with his cute self back in the day. This is pure nostalgia!

I always thought Tiny was Chinese. boxed I had a crush on her.
