That's why I wished sometimes when groups are that good that they don't rely on someone or even have conflict to make it work. Both groups had something good and something bad got in the way. It makes me sick sometimes lol

That's why I didn't watch it, they had only three hits and then they start beefing. WTF? smh

That's the one thing I've always admired about The Rolling Stones, through it all they realized the sum of who they were was their strength.

I never really knew much about Klymaxx which is why I tuned into watch this tonight, but watching it was quite disappointing. I mean they had like three hits, but somehow egos got involved from just that? I really didn't get how some of the members started leaving after their lukewarm success, I mean maybe it's just me, but I think they were a bit premature thinking that they had all of a sudden "reached the top", I do believe they were getting there, had they stayed together a little longer they would have exploded but like I said, thats just my opinion. I also found it interesting how they put that one lady on blast years later after she trade marked the group's name, replaced all the members (though all of them had left by that time anyway) and started touring under the name of Klymaxx. I really don't know who is right or wrong in that situation. It just seems like a big old mess.

That's one thing that troubled me about that. Shouldn't a founder of the group have full copyrights of that name?

That's insane.

No. because Ms. Cooper didn't legally copyright the name and she should have done when she came up with the name for the group.

If there is no band agreement and the arrangement is informal, the right to the band name customarily stays with the band. Without a formal contract specifying who owns the band’s name, a member who is kicked out may form a new competing band with the same name. Once a band name dispute arises from an informal arrangement, a lawsuit must be filed for a court to determine who used the name first and which members were in the band when its names gained a "secondary meaning" (i.e., the public began recognizing the band by its name). If it can be proven that certain members were identified by the public as being in the band, the court can bar the use of band’s name by another individual or other competing group. To determine ownership, a court will inquire into who has artistic control over the band and for how long.

Sorry guys but Klymaxx had 7 hits. Their followup album to Meeting in the Ladies Room spawned 3 top 20 hits. Sexy was #18 r&b,I'd Still Say Yes
was #7 r&b,and Divas Need Love Too was #14 r&b. They had one more top 10
hit with Good Love in 1990. Never underestimate the power of Klymaxx. lol
To me this was the most interesting episode this season. Tina Marie's
episode was very bland. There was nothing that really inhibited her success.
Bootsy's episode was okay but i didn't learn anything new there either.
This unsung was well put together much like Shalamar's.

These ladies didn't age very well with the exception
of Fenderella. Damn Robin Grider looks really rough like
she been through some stuff. Was it me or did it look like
she lost all her choppers?
Too bad things fell apart for these ladies quickly much like
the Mary Jane Girls. I'll never forget how they lit it up
in 1985. They were on fire.

Constellation is a SOLAR subsidiary.

Hmm well thats why everybody got opinions because this episode was not all that to me. This was about women who want to make it big, talented women, but were all for themselves They were the reason they never really hit big successes. I guess the real Klymaxx fans would realize they had 7 hits, but to the average, its like they 3 hits with ALL THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS and then they started cat fighting over...what? And Shalamr's Unsung? that one was a big old bitch fest too. At least with the Bootsy Unsung you could smile and laugh along with him while appreciating his music. And he did become a real success. In the end he just didn't disappear like Klymaxx, he's still touring, recording, writing, etc. This isn't to go back and forth with you, but just wanted to give my opinion as well.
