But it all coincides with how they were first presented to us - Pretty young thangs. That's the image they wanted to portray to the public. Well, we can't sit here and praise them for how fine they were and then not critique them on how "cracked-out" some of them look. It works both ways.  True. Time takes a toll sometimes. Hopefully, they can get on reunion bandwagon , do a album, and tour. | |

I'd love to see Cherelle or a real group like EWF, Mint Condition or Frankie Beverly. I just hate when a good act is on tour with like 5 other acts I don't wanna see.Okay we're on the same page. Shai, Jodeci,and dru hill are all 90's cookie cutter groups. Yeah envogue would fit in perfectly with maze, ewf, and mint condition especially. There's nothing wrong with Shai, Jodeci, or Dru Hill.

phunkdaddy said: Dawn and Cindy were always my favorites from envogue. It helps also
that dawn has my last name. She should just come on and do the right thing and let's make it offishaaal. Cindy is still a nice tall drink i would give some good oral loving to any night of the week. Oh and for the record i would tap into terry's resources too. Maxine i wouldn't touch with Akon's pecker. [Edited 4/30/08 18:43pm]  DAMN!
I gotta start using that "resources" line 
I wanna tap into Chili from TLC's resources [Edited 5/1/08 0:33am] "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

Poor Dawn I’m just glad there’s the possibility that they’re doing something and I’m glad their alive and healthy and hopefully happy.I just have to wonder what the conversation was like between Dawn and the other girls, or if they even had one! I would love to see them back together. Hell, the Brand New Heavies regrouped after all this time, they could do it too. They are in my top ever favorite artists. can't even begin to tell you the fucking joy this group brought me, even if they only released 2 albums together. I have kept up with them all the way and even supported that horrible Masterpiece Theater There are a few classic cuts on that album so I aint mad that they got roped into Denny and Terry's madness
Please please PLEASE don't let this be a one off!  2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

Please please PLEASE don't let this be a one off! Yeah, we need a group like them these days You can only imagine how I'd react if Wham! or The Jacksons reunited "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

Please please PLEASE don't let this be a one off! But BNH didn’t have the drama that EV had did they? I can’t even imagine what the conversations were like. And I don’t care how cordial it may have been I bet you there was at least one that was like, “Hell NO!” If they get back together I hope they don’t do anything with Terry and Denny or whatever their names are. It’s time for them to move on from those guys. I’d love to hear what they could do with other producers. There is no hot female group out now. The door is wide open for real women with real voices.

I don't think anyone's really criticizing their aging. Most of the comments, as far as I recall, have been about, hair, wardrobe, and weight. All of these things are within their control and relatively easy to rectify. And like it or not, fair or not, looking good is part and parcel of their jobs as funky divas ESPECIALLY since they were known not just for their voices but also their appearance. And like I said earlier it doesn't take a full staff of stylists or tons of money to put a good look together. It's like they're not even trying.  | |

They look great in the very first photo and their age in the second photo. They look great as far as I'm concerned and yes people are bring up weight which is within people's control but she aint Aretha Franklinin it up there and has a very normal body for her age. And did they perform in those outfits or was that their casual wear on the way to getting ready? They look great in the outfits they are performing in that's for sure. All I know is I must defend my girl! 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

All I know is I must defend my girl! Well you go on then. But if anyone comes outta the house looking jacked up they better get ready to get talked about, especially if they're getting up on a stage for all the world to see.
Sorry. . .
That first pic is from this performance in 2005. Again, despite the outfits, everyone looks good, except. . . but at least she can still SANG.
On a side note, I never noticed that Djimon Honsou was in their first video. Now that dude's been around forever. [Edited 5/1/08 12:32pm] | |
