And nobody ever said that only The Supremes with Diana Ross were to be mentioned in this debate that didn't concern them in the first place.Neither Mary or Cindy were ever in the studio during the vocal recording of Love Child or Someday We'll Be Together!!! Berry Gordy was using totally different backing vocalists on both of THOSE songs. Love Child especially was a experiential song use to test how well Diana would handle the solo artist role in the future. You're right to say that both songs are billed as Diana Ross & The Supremes. BUT, did Mary or Cindy had any part of those recording? No!! It's still The Supremes, and they're still not part of this debate! Now,  | |

I win!!!  Nice try bro, but you're only semi-slick. 
My challenge was not for "20 En Vogue Songs" but "a comparable En Vogue list of 20 strong songs". Again, The Supremes were not even part of the original discussion. But so be it. Then you came back for seconds on red herring by trying to pit solo vocalist against solo vocalist. 
I personally don't like Diana Ross as a solo artist, but in the context of The Supremes it works. The objective of The Supremes as a group is not to out-sing anybody but to sing the songs. As for your list, imo, they're not 20 strong songs and they're definitely not comparable to The Supremes 20. (Foster & McElroy vs Holland, Dozier, Holland? Las Vegas probably wouldn't even put that on the board. )
How about an "E" for effort? 
Someday We'll Be Together stays on the list because it's the last #1 Supremes single... 
...Diana Ross & The Supremes to be exact. (Which is still The Supremes only Diana Ross gets top billing) It's the final song Diana Ross recorded and performed with the group. Berry Gordy decided to release Reach Out and Touch as Diana's 1st solo single. Love child... 
...is also a Diana Ross & The Supremes record. In And Out Of Love Stoned Love Nathan Jones Up The Ladder To The Roof all stay because, once again, they are songs by The Supremes. You brought up The Supremes. "En Vogue would kill The Supremes" (your words), remember? Your shot.

http://www.soundclick.com...rmusic.htm I try TA. I try. BTW, Foster & McElroy vs Holland, Dozier, Holland would be a huge mismatch in the songwriting battle. It's like 2 funk soldiers vs. 3 Gods!!!   [Edited 6/25/05 12:56pm] | |

Now, By you reasoning, Miko Weaver, Dez Dickerson, & Jerome are former members of the Revolutions. Nevermind that THIS band was actually just: Prince, Wendy, Lisa, Matt, Brown, & BobbyZ. | |

Not me! sorry, but it was all of you moaning that destiny's child and envougue shouldnt even be compared, cos you think envougue are so much netter than d.c, every one was picking envougue and no one was picking d.c so it was going to get boring anyway, so why not compare them to a group more legendary and make for a more interesting debate? | |
