Allure

Remember them? They were Mariah's group on her short lived record label and had a hit with the remake of "All Cried Out". Anyway, there name seemed to be mentioned a lot a few weeks ago with the Ron Artest deal (it probably got a lot more mentions here in Michigan). Anyway, turns out they are now on his label and he goes around everywhere plugging their CD. In fact, he was on the Today Show in one of the most spoon fed interviews where Matt Lauer just kissed his ass...I don't want to start with that. Anyway, you'd think any publicity is good publcity but apparently the album isn't selling anyway. How about a ranking of #44,012 on Amazon! A lot of imports are probably doing better than that and this CD is only $13.99! So, without getting into Artest and the Palace thing, any thoughts on them? One Amazon review says that their single is apparently a cover of a 3LW song from a Nick Canon movie. Wow! Way to strech!

That sounds about right.

Didn't 112 also appear on their remake of "All Cried Out"?


I remember Mariah bitching about the way Sony didn't properly promote her vanity label (Crave Records),which resulted in Allure's CD not doing that well.

i remember them. They all looked like they could be models. I remember that video with 112, and they had a video with Nas. Whatever happened to that male group that was on her label? 7 Mile or some shit?

7 mile I believe was on Pebbles label....Savvy/Pebbitone which was distributed through A&M at the time...they had a nice song "Have a little mercy"
