2 Unlimited



2 Unlimited was a eurodance act formed in 1991. The project was the brainchild of Belgian producers Phil Wilde and Jean-Paul de Coster, and was fronted by a Dutch duo, rapper Ray Slijngaard and singer Anita Doth. During five years of enormous worldwide success, the act sold more than 18 million records.

Are there any fans of 2 Unlimited here? They never were as big in the US as there were in Europe but some of their hits are extremely well known and still played at ballgames all across America.

Im sure ALL of us know Twilight Zone http://youtube.com/watch?v=NZ9xXQGsvHc and Get Ready For This, http://youtube.com/watch?v=FgsLh0LIY7Y probably the biggest "JOCK JAM" of all time. The duo, Ray and Anita broke up because they couldnt stand each other from what I understand. They constantly stayed on the road, from 1992-1996. They just grew tired of one another and broke up.

Any fans?

I liked them and was amazed that they went head to head with C&C Music Factory and still did well with a song very similar to theirs. Of course their other singles did equally well, though many of them sounded the same. They sound very dated now.

They do, dont they? They have become so charcitured. The cheerleaders from the classic SNL sketch with Cheri Oteri and Will Ferrell looks just like this:
