The 1990 Grammy Awards (The very last time lip-syncing was OK)



Looking back on this piece of history, no one had a freaking clue of the hail storm of controversy that was to follow the very next month after this performance.

Yes, Rob & Fab even lip-synced on the "live" remix version!

I still think they should've just given the awards to the real singers.

That was my feeling also. The album was great and the vocals were impeccable. Why not give it to the real vocalists?

Besides, this was not the last time it was "ok" for lip-syncing on the Grammy's. Hell, TLC and EnVogue did it a few years later. TLC I could see, but EnVogue? Those girls can sing and to lipsync "My Lovin" was an insult.

They should have in fact given the awards to the real vocalists, but I still like Milli Vanilli. They actually were decent singers. I'm still sad that Rob died though, he was always my fave sad.

Do you figure that Ozzy knew that something wasn't right about Milli Vanilli?
