I didn't know Stutter was that big. I think "I Wanna Know" was still bigger. Didn't it chart on Adult AC, Pop and R&B? I remember hearing it all over different radio formats.


He meant in terms of the song hitting #1.

I know, but "Stutter" going number one was a pretty big shocker to me. I know it had to be for the remix with Mystical. The album version was slow and boring as hell.

You got a lot of people who I thought would have been big like Vesta, CeCe Peniston, Christopher Williams and Adina Howard. Amazing how things end up.

Yea, why did Christopher Williams stop making music anyway? I loved his voice rose


Not only did he have a great voice (new jack swing Teddy Pendegrass style); he was straight up FINE!!!! wink

Myron. His 1998 Debut album, Destiny was one of the hottest r&b albums of that year. He had the title track and this 1997 sngle, "We Can Get Down" all over radio and then he disappeared. I still love this guy.

THe photos used in his first album looked like something out of a gay clothing ad. For his 2nd album, they toned his look down to make him look like a real man.

I didn't know he dated Halle Berry and Stacy Dash. I just learned that when I googled him.

nod you are right, Christopher Williams and Stacy Dash do have a child together. He was pretty, but like you said, his personality must be stank because of the rumors of him being abusive towards women.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Really? For a long time, the rumor was that he was the one who beat up on Halle badly. She won't reveal who it is. CW denies it. I've since heard rumors about it being Wesley Snipes.

I thought she confirmed it was Wesley @ some point hmmm

& Christopher allegedly likes to shit on women literally. He didn't whoop on Halle, but he might have taken a dump on her stab

I'm not sure.

The shit fetish is GROSS. No wonder his career went to "shit".

Mariah Scarey, Brandi, and countless others like them. After seeing how the public had such horrible taste as to buy up records from Shitney Houston and make her a star, I expected dull artists like these to become stars also.

Oh, wow it was one of the biggest scandal in the music industry during the 90's. It turns out they didn't sing those songs, and they sold a lot of records. Milli Vanilli were two good-looking guys. The other one killed himself. Such a sad story.

I read somewhere D'Angelo is trying to make a comeback though. That would be great if it happens. smile

Well, he could have been charcoal black or pasty white. With that cute mug and smile I'd still call him pretty. smile It's about the features, not the skin color! LOL.

I know. They had a really big debut. Their 2nd album did well. By the time Reflections came out, their career died. I think it had to do with the material. On their first album, they had a good mix of dance tunes, mid-tempo songs, and ballads. By the time Reflections dropped, they were singing all ballads.
