im talking hits...dc kills them in hits


Destiny's Child had four No. 1 singles and 11 top 10 hits on the Billboard R&B Singles charts.

En Vogue had six No. 1 singles and eight top 10 singles, not including their collaboration on Salt N' Pepa's "Whatta Man" and "Free Your Mind," which went top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts but only No. 23 on the R&B charts.

It sounds like you're trying to rationalize your first statement to fit your convenience. The only thing that is true is that Destiny's Child arguably has had even more exposure than En Vogue (which had quite a bit itself).

...The Shirelles




...The Crystals




...The Chiffons




...The Jaynetts




...The Pointer Sisters



Maybe not as many hits, but influential nonetheless.

hmmm Maybe, but EV would eat the Supremes up vocally in a head to head competition. I can't think of another girl group that had the vocal skills and training that En Vogue has AND that made a concerted effort to give each girl the lead on some songs on EVERY album.

Correction mon frère.
People that don't know (or don't care) about music history are the ones that "don't care about no Supremes!" wink

lol Right... y'all do realize Destiny's Child was Beyonce. I mean, yeah the '60s Supremes was clouded around Diana but at least they had something of a group sound when they first started. You should check the Supremes during the seventies period AFTER Diana left.

I think DC the orginal version. Michelle has no personality. I realy wish they'd give Kelly better material and promotion she could blow B out of the water.

Michelle blows Kelly out of the water.

Kelly is the weakest member of the group, always has been.

No doubt.

However En Vogue gets seriously dusted when trying to compete with The Supremes in terms of material.

The songwriting (based on the songwriters - Holland-Dozier-Holland) just can't compete.

While i respect the girls groups from the past, i agree that this topic is
strictly about envogue and destiny's child. The supremes are argubably the best ever but for the sake of this conversation DC has had more exposure thanks to daddy knowles but artistically and vocally i would say EnVogue was much better.
They had the hits to back it up.

hmm Seriously? I can name at least 10 EV songs I like more than any DC song. At least.


En Vogue:
Hold On
Lies
Don't Go
You Don't Have to Worry 'Bout a Thing
Free Your Mind
My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)
Giving Him Something He Can Feel
Give It Up Turn It Loose
Runaway Love
Whatta Man
Don't Let Go (Love)
Whatever
No Fool No More

DC:
No, No, No
Say My Name
Bills, Bills, Bills
Survivor
Emotion
Bootylicious
Lose My Breath
Cater 2 U
Check On It (oh, that was Beyonce but I've heard rumors this was really a DC track, lol..)

I'll pick EV easily because:
1.) All the girls were allowed to sing their own leads
2.) They can all sing their asses off
3.) They mixed Supremes chic with Labelle funk with the dance moves of the Vandellas
4.) These girls had a cool theme song for "ROC", lol
5.) They made me laugh when they did their "A Different World" guest spot as nerds lol



Yeah Kelly sang the second verse...BeYAWNcy just lip synced right over it.

I'd take all but Maxine over Beyoncé, particularly if she wanted to talk. lol Her speaking voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

I agree. En Vogue had harmonies that reminded you of groups from the 50s and 60s. But, I'll take Cindy. She's always been my favorite (I think its her smile and body). When I met them (when the EV3 album came out), I was sooo nervous to meet her. She was sooo beautiful in person.

Even over The Jones Girls? En Vogue is my favorite girl group of the 90s, but the Jones Girls are my favorite overall. I love their harmonies. Especially on their first 2 albums.

How could a group go from one of the biggest albums of 1992/1992 to breaking up? That doesn't make any sense at all. Im sure there were people telling Dawn that she was the star and should leave the group. Instead, what should have been done is let them finish EV3, promote it and piggy back on the success of Don't Let Go (Love) then do solo projects.

Additionally, Terry never should have done a solo project during the height of their popularity.
