Whatever Happened to : BLAQUE


Often psp titled to having sung "Where My Girls At" (by 702), Blaque came out and stormed the radio with "808" and "Bring It All To Me" (feat. JC Chascez from N*Sync)..and had a minor hit with "I Do" featuring their founder Lisa Left Eye Lopez"

They tried to come back in 2002 wth a radio singe "Cant Get It Back" a bangin jungle drum track but over-looked by mainstream, and just fell off.

What happened to them? I never saw them comment on Lisa's death either
i will never dance

I actually liked them. I really liked "I'm Good" from the Honey soundtrack.

Chick groups dont last very long anyway. TLC was the longest running female group with its original members.

Most of the time it's chick issues. Women have a hard time getting along with each other, too competitive and envious of one another, so usually that ends up fucking off the group...and a lot of the time it's over some dick.

Yeah, some leave due to motherhood but most of these girl groups break up over jealousy. Women will tell you themselves that females don't get along well.

En Vogue is a classic example and that's damn shame.

You've brought up a good point Sos. I think the name of the game instead of focusing on hormones we should be focusing on EGO.

Good point, but in comparison to how many female groups there are to male groups, female groups last shorter than male groups. Male groups break up and get back together many times, most female groups break up and that's it.

Regardless of logevity, still the bottom line with all groups demises are EGO.

Or they run out of ideas and get stale.

I think they had a hit from the "Bring It On" soundtrack a few years ago (the song got a lot of play here for a while anyway). Before I heard that, I thought they broke up.

They can't seem to get thier albums released.

I have a few 12" singles from their two shelved albums. The first shelved album was the "Black Out" in like 2001 or 2002. It had the single Can't Get It Back.
Sony/Trackmaster put that album on indefinate hold. Plus Lisa had just died and they were going through some things-- including the Foxy/Nateena battle over Krupt.


Then Missy helped produce "Torch," which had the singles: Ugly, I'm Good and an underground single Ganksta, which was a take off on 50 Cent's Wanksta.
Elektra shelved album that in 2003.

Acts like that aren't built to last. Sometimes I wonder how they get signed in the first place.

The Dixie Chicks are still together. They've been together since 1993. I guess if you're in a girl group and you want to have band longevity, you can't sing pop or R&B.

Still together but one member was replaced right before they broke. Keep that in mind.

Didn't they lose a member and just became a trio right when they first started out?

I used to keep 808 on repeat back in the day.

I remember some of the young kiddies didn't know what the 'figure eight' sexual reference was all about giggle stupid babies.
