Questionable career moves: peeps who thought they were bigger than the group, went solo and flopped. Dawn Robinson--En Vogue
Philippe Wynne- The Spinners St. Paul- The Family Bobby Brown- New Edition (although he started strong, only his solo album made some noise) you look better on your facebook page than you do in person | |

Sisqo (Dru Hill) "Thong Song" now a one hit wonder.
Nick Carter (Backstreet Boys) Didn't even have a hit. Some good career moves: Robbie Williams (Take That) Justin Timberlake (N*Sync) Beyonce Knowles (Destiny's Child) | |

Would David Lee Roth qualify? This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

The records she sold as a solo artists were about on par with what Fleetwood Mac did around the same time. While Lindsey solo records didn't sell as well, I don't think that he ever that does despite the group (nor did Stevie, probably) and they didn't really flop. | |

That bad huh? I loved that Princely song he did in about '93 though. Something like "Sweet Thing" I believe. | |

Yes... another good career move: Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac) I love her 80s hits... "Talk To Me" anyone? | |

Coco (the lead singer of SWV)---She released a solo CD in the late 90s that sold around 6 copies....lol...not surprisingly,she is now back with the other two girls,talking about a "reunion" album.
Dawn Robinson (former lead singer of EnVogue)---Just before her solo album came out,she was featured in a Vibe article,gloating because the latest EnVogue CD had flopped.But what goes around comes around.Her own solo CD went straight to the markdown bins. Philippe Wynne (former lead singer of The Spinners---He departed The Spinners in 1977,but he never had much success as a solo artist.For their part,The Spinners hired a new lead singer and enjoyed a late-70s comeback with the disco hit "Working My Way Back To You/Forgive Me Girl". | |

Daryl Hall w/out John Oates is like... tried and failed.
Bonnie Pointer of the Pointer Sisters? I think it was her who attempted solo and failed. Jermaine Jackson, Marlon Jackson etc... though Little Bro did well, these brothers were never able to match him... then came little sis. I'll think of more later... |

He also sang on Quincy's "Back on the Block" cd on "Secret Garden", and Kenny Loggin's "Unimaginable Life" cd... His voice is beautiful, I wouldn't mind hearing more. |

He's done some great guest apperances and I actually have Heart, Mind & Soul but I got a little turned off when he did a few tracks with DJ Quik and was singing those nasty lyrics. But he does have a great voice! Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

Jermaine had an excellent solo career. He did very well on his own, particularly on the R&B chart. | |
