It all starts with this.

Lionel used to say "Aw gurl" but when the money rolled it became "Girl".

So Walter Orange and the fellas had to eat.

Lionel was entering "The Crossover Zone" with all of his success.

They gave him an OSCAR® and a new girlfriend for his efforts.

That was kewl with everyone except one person. The lady who was with him from the beginning.

Meanwhile Walter Orange and the fellas started slipping and faking it. They are perpetrating SEVERAL frauds in this video.

Lionel lost both wives and half of his fortune so HE starting faking the funk.

Some of the other members just fell the f*** off.

speaking of the Commodores....Lionel released his latest crap album yesterday I hope it flops big time,so we can finally get that Commodores reunion.It's supposed to happen at the end of this year.

Yes you right about lionel's Just Go album. It sucks big time.
It makes his dancing on the ceiling album sound like a classic.
I'd rather listen to Deep River Woman than his Just Go album.
That crap is actually worse than Ciara's album and i actually
like two songs on hers.
As far as a commodores reunion, key word is it supposed to happen.
What distubs me about a possible reunion is lionel's latest article
in Jet magazine last week is when he stated he doesn't focus on looking
back and looks forward like with his Just Go album.
He also states that he regrets not having a commodores reunion album
while Milan Williams was still living. He says now "IF" there is
a reunion it will have to be without Milan. When he makes statements
like that, it makes you wonder how the other members feel and if
such a reunion will actually take place.

It WILL flop. Mark my words. And if not, then I'm convinced the devil is playing mind tricks.

It's so sad that his idea of "looking forward" is releasing these crappy albums with producers like Akon and Ne-Yo

That new materail is just.....bad.

Thanks carl. That thread is great! 5 observations..

1) Why does JD have a flat top afro?

2) Walter is starting to sport the "high Stevie Wonder hairline".

3) Thomas McClary needs to kill the "sweatsuit" look.

4) What's up with Lionel's (break a comb)goatee on the cover of the new Jet?

5) They really need to get back together. Greg Phillaghanes could easily play
keys for them. He's not doing anything now.

Lionel looks a mess on the cover.

As for Greg he could play keys everywhere that dude is the man. I love brick house the original. can never go wrong. Never dug dancing on the ceiling or say you say me. All Night Long is a jam though!
