Just because they're fine, doesn't mean they sing well.

bboy87 said:

Florence didn't have that crossover appeal. Regardless of how much better she looked. Not to mention, she probably didn't F Berry like Diana did.

"Where My Girls At" is straight fire! I never get tired of that song. I also love "Get It Together" and "Steelo." I also dug "All I Want" with the J5 sample.

Blaque's existence is justified by "808," one of my favorite R. Kelly songs given to another artist. It's fantastic in its simplicity.

phunkdaddy said:

Well you said it.

Give any of those girls the same attention, the same materials, and you'll be singing the same tune.

I'm not talking about their material, I'm talking about their singing,,,,which again comparing to the rest of the Motown girls, ain't worth a damn.

i cant stand destinys child!! they are so wack.

I did like Blaque's "Bring It All To Me".

I get where you are coming from. I'm not a huge DC fan, but they did have a few songs that I liked.

People knew that from jump street, so did Mary Wilson.

daPrettyman said:

Flo was a no-bullshit type of girl, she turned down Berry Gordy for a relationship. Reportedly they went out one night and I guess Berry took her to see some kind of woman who had a snake or something, I forget what the woman was doing on the stage but for that reason Flo thought Berry was some freak and left, lol. Flo said she never aspired to have a relationship with him though it was reported Berry was flirting with all the women on the Motown label. Only Diana gave in to his advances. Others like Martha Reeves and Mary Wells saw Berry as more of a father or brother than a boyfriend so they turned him down flat. When Diana and Berry finally started dating in 1965, it was the beginning of the end for the Supremes.

Whats with all this borderline bullshit about Flo not having the crossover appeal.

HELLO!!!!!

Did we block out a certain person outta our memories???

Wasn't ReRe a MAINSTREAM royalty? Please tell me how this cheese burger stand, banana puddin' junkie can have crossover appeal and Flo CAN'T?

Ya'll can trip out a bitch something bad, it ain't even funny

Harlepolis said:

I wasn't saying it. I think Flo definitely could've been a pop superstar like Aretha.

I said it, and I'll say it again.

With the right "push" from your middle men, you could get mainstream treatment.

Had it not been for Clive Davis, Whitney Houston would've been singing the chitlin' circuits by now along with Angela Winbush, Stephanie Mills, Meli'sa Morgan, Vesta, Miki Howard and the rest of her peers.

So true.

The first name that popped into my head...



...The Go-Go's


Couldn't really play too tough (but since when has that stopped anybody) and their crucifixion of The Capitols classic Cool Jerk.

Add that to Belinda Carlisle's sheep vibrato...(nails on a chalkboard)


I was, at one time, infatuated with their bass player...



...Kathy Valentine

That damn "We Got the Beat"... grrr... and is it me or is Jane Wieldin ignorant?

Timmy84 said:

Don't know if i'd say ignorant but my impression, based on very limited exposure (the occasional interview & snippets from her Surreal Life stint) was that she had one of those too hip for her own good vibes.

I hope then you are going to include VANITY 6, APOLLONIA 6 since they were nothing but PRINCE in lingerie.

lastdecember said:

Can we really call them groups too? I don't think so. They were Prince in drag.

- I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Spice Girls but I guess they're not considered a group either

Destiny's Child, not only for their own endless train of shitty music, but for unleashing Beyonce on the world as a "star".

Mstrustme said:

I'd definitely list them. Awful music through and through.

Harlepolis said:

Please don't diss the queen like that. Aretha has a totally different story and wasn't part of the music machine in the beginning. Not to mention, Aretha was well known in the gospel arena thanks to her father when they did revivals.

I'm not a huge ARetha fan, but she is a legend and deserves the utmost respect.

Harlepolis said:

Mstrustme said:

Nah they were mentioned.

daPrettyman said:

Ree-Ree's bio rubbed Harley the wrong way that's why she's off on her like this.

Timmy84 said:

I don't care. The queen demands respect. I guess I feel this way because I just recently re-watched the Video Soul with Donnie Simpson and Aretha and I had forgotten what a treasure she really was.
