K-Ci looking like a crack zombie and JoJo drunk out of his mind. Sad affairs.

Even as horrible and tacky as that video is, it still doesn't explain why they stopped recording as Jodeci.

Jodeci had so much potential. When K-Ci and Jo Jo went solo they lost their soulfulness (for lack of a better word). They wanted to be pop stars and they did achieve that, but their solo material lacked the rawness and ghetto flavor that the Jodeci material did.

Has anyone caught any of their reunion shows?

They stopped recording due to the fact that the drugs and liquor got in the way!! Potential? They only potential they had was to do more drugs and drink more liquor. Yes, they had a little talent, but they blew it!! Both as a group and as a duo. Things only got worse when Al B. Sure stopped dealing with them.

Well, when Al B. stopped dealing with them, their career was just taking off. They were definitely living the "Dream Factory" lifestyle.

Well, he should have been there when they landed. IMO, they were very overrated.

I'm not going to disagree with the overrated statement, but the difference is that they could sing and did make some very memorable songs in the 90s. The "Forever My Lady" album is such a defining album of the 90s no matter how you look at it.

I still find myself listening to the remix of "Come and Talk To Me" and "I'm Still Waiting" occasionally.

Right. I think they screamed too much also and that definitely hampered their vocals. Plus one of them - DeVante Swing - is as crazy as they come...

Al left after the first album came out I think.

I think so too. Al had almost disappeared by the time their 2nd album came out.

You know what was odd? I liked Jodeci when they first came out, now looking back, I wonder what the hubbub was about them. confused They're mainly one of the reasons R&B groups are non-existent in so-called "commercial R&B". And the aftermath of their heyday is just sad.

I think it must've been behavioral problems that caused Al to leave them. I heard those guys were shit-starters or always causing shit. And the saddest thing is they come from HERE (Virginia-NC area). disbelief lol

One of the reasons why their songs might have been "memorable", might be do to the fact that there wasn't really anything good to listen too back then, aside from groups like them. No one really stood out.

OK, you're sounding like VainAndy now saying that there was nothing good to listen to in 92.
I loved the 90s music. Especially R. Kelly, Janet Jackson, Luther Vandross, Toni Braxton, Babyface, TLC, and more all made great music in the 90s...not to mention Prince/prince

I'm not saying that there weren't good things to listen to back then, but most of it sounded the same. This is especially true, if the same producer was behind the songs being sung.

I do agree that a lot of the music sounded the same, but there was a LOT of good music in the 90s. Jodeci made quite a bit of it also.

To each his own, I guess. To me, they just sounded like a bunch of wounded dogs. A bunch of guys that got together just for the accolades and all the other things that being in show business brings, not for the love of it.
