never mind who sang on this album...this album was excellent and was the soundtrack to my life in 1989

and i think people DESERVED to be be fooled into thinking Rob & Fab were the real singers...if people would enjoy the MUSIC and not care about what the singers look like or how old they are then something like this would have never happened

as it turned out many fools who had enjoyed this album were upset and actually tried to get their money back heck i would like to see this album re-released

Yeah, I tracked down a copy of this on CD again. F the haters

Rob Pilatus was

I agree

I still have my original cassette. I want the cd though.

Even though they got outed and I got pissed I still kept the cassette, heck the songs are good to listen to.

I found this used cd recently (excellent condition) at a cd store that sells new and used. Got it for $8.00 - it was pressed in Germany

I always found it funny that even though they weren't really singing, more people didn't stop and give credit to the people who were?

Shucks! Give those folks the Grammy!
they made some great pop tunes

Good point.

Even the video awards are still valid.

That's what I was screamin' at the time!

AlexdeParis said:

If I was one of the guys who really sang I frankly would be rather pissed, like "Uh, excuse me, but I believe that grammy belongs to me, right?!"

thekidsgirl said:

that's a good point. i never thought about that before. why not give them the grammy. someone recorded those songs right? anyway, i agree this album is the bomb. i could care less that it wasn't them singing on it. i dj'd a few months ago and when i played girl you know it's true people danced like crazy!

I only know the main single!

Also I never saw Xanadu!

Am I a bad orger?

Really? That's interesting. Here in the U.S., the album spawned 4 hit singles ("Girl You Know It's True," "Baby Don't Forget My Number," "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You," and "Blame It on the Rain"). Actually, the title track was the only one that failed to reach #1; it peaked at #2.

"girl you know its true" the single itself is prefectly produced! i cant see how someone can hate on it.

Mazerati said:

That'll never happen since Arista got rid of the masters to the album once the truth came out...

Maybe it's because I'm only 24

Damn that sucks hard. So what will they use for the new "movie" to base the sound off of? A cd on ebaby? Seriously.

I'm actually the movie is going forward, because it seems the labels want people to forget Milli Vanilli ever happened. The CDs are all out of print, except from some obscure/really hard to find new Greatest Hits CD, so I'm surprised they will allow their memory to come to the forefront with a movie. Hmmm

Then it must be pure genius!

MikeMatronik said:

Well that makes sense. You look a little older than that...

I loved Milli Vanilli's singles at the time. "Girl You Know It's True" was a pop classic and "Blame it on the Rain" was a monster jam. The thing is, I am not really a music fan who ever cared about image. If a song is good, I like it, I don't really care what the person who sings it looks like. If Milli came out now, it wouldn't even be an issue because music videos are a mostly dead genre. You don't need to look good to have a hit single these days. Hell, you don't even need to necessarily have a good song as long as you meet the right demographic.

No excuse since I'm younger...you're a bad orger

What's funny is that after the controversy broke out, They sung "Girl You Know It's True" on the Arsenio Hall show. And they were really good. I still don't understand why they were'nt allowed to sing on their own albums period. BTW, My favorite MV song is "Don't Forget My Number".

ThePunisher said:

Um, in my recollection they sucked pretty bad when they sang on Arsenio. And their single "We Can Get it On" was...um, really really bad. Yeah, they should have brought out the actual singers but I think they were exiled to Spain or something.

GottaLetitgo said:

Yeah, I remember that Arsenio performance being bad as well. Didn't In Living Color spoof that in their Milli Vanilli skit?

Actually Fab was a pretty talented singer on the Rob & Fab album. He seemed to be doing his best Michael Jackson impression at times, especially during the "woo-hoo" ab libs. Loved it.

Here is what Fabrice Morvan is up to these days:

Mazerati said:

1. I STILL like those songs. Damn those haters on VH-1, because Blame It On The Rain is my favorite track.

2. Sorry to say, but Clive Davis & Sony/BMG would never allow this album to be remastered or released. Hell, I wouldn't be surprise if the masters were destory already.

thekidsgirl said:

Exactly.

TonyVanDam said:

They already did, which is probably the most short-sighted decision in the history of the music business (how's that for hyperbole?). Seriously, who deletes the masters of an album featuring 3 #1 hits (and an even more famous #2)? I believe it is still the highest-selling album to be out of print.

I still bust this from time to time. "All or Nothing" was my jam!

wasn't C&C Music Factory doing the same thing by using Martha Wash on vocals and having Zelma Davis lip synch her vocals in the video's? also same thing with Black Box? and why didn't they get called out for it like Milli Vanilli?
