You sound like you got some inside. What's up with Devante?

violator said:

Besides the fact that he was on drugs heavily, the last Jodeci cd was done in collaboration with Suge Knight at the helm. DeVante signed a bad production/management deal with him. Hell any deal with Suge is bad!! That's why K-Ci and JoJo (and even Dalvin, with his sorry ass CD) have been doing there own thing. The last thing I heard from DeVante was "I'm Still Waiting" from K-ci and JoJo's debut CD. I love this cut!

Adisa said:

Well, as far as your list of folks you wish to reunite, well some of them did.

Culture Club reunited in 2000, I think and put out a new album and a VH1 Storytellers album. All 6 Jackson brothers reunited at that tribute concert for Michael Jackson back in 2001 (I'm surprised you didn't remember that). En Vogue is coming out with a new CD sometime soon, but without a couple of original members. New Edition (without Bobby Brown, unfortunately) signed on to Bad Boy records last year and should've put out some new product, but I don't know what happened to that.

But yeah, Jodeci, The Fugees, New Kids on the Block, The Deele, and Shalamar should reunite though.

the men ALL PAUSE

::switch::

uh-Oh!

::snooty attitude, flips back hair::
Uh, I had to leave my condo to come to this
Well, I’m back, but this time I’m with my man
And these women are puttin’ their hands all over his
Yamamoto Kansai sweater that I bought
And I’m much, much unhappy about that
I’d hate to come down to their level and become a B.W.
A 'basic woman'
But if they don’t stop... it’s gonna get scandalous.

uh-Oh!

::dancin' hard::

You're right about that whole Suge Knight thing, but actually DeVante's most recent commercial production was a track from K-Ci and JoJo's album, X, entitled "Get Back." Not really your typical DeVante Swing production, but pretty Jodeci-type signature with the vocal arrangements and whatnot. He also produced a track for Ray J's last album entitled "Wet Me" which starts off sounding like shit, but eventually grows on you (in a weird way).

Last I heard, DeVante and Dalvin are doing the pre-production to Jodeci's reunion album, but this was over three years ago and the last time the public saw him (at the first annual BET Music Awards), he looked a damn mess...like he wad definitely smoking that shit.

IMHO, I believe DeVante is probably still upset about how he practically was sitting on a gold mine with Missy Elliott, Timbaland, Ginuwine, Playa and Tweet and basically threw it all away because he let his ego get the best of him. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the future holds for him.

I'm fully aware of everything you posted...was just saying I would like to see this on the show...and my tongue was slightly in my cheek.Thanks, tho!

okaypimpn said:

Thanks for the update...wasn't aware that D was still doing his thing. Never heard the X cd and don't care for RayJay. The Jodeci cd has been in the works for almost 4 years now! What's taking so long?

Bernadette had a nose job that seemed to screw up her voice & speech...I have an old videotape of her on Video Soul before & AFTER her nosejob...Trust me, the voice on the recordings are much smoother that the nasal lispy thing she has now...Right after she left the band, she had her face butchered and sounded MESSED up...They haven't all aged gracefully...lol...

That wasn't a limp--that was a fat persons walk.

PAPAROBBIE said:

Hell yes she did because before it was like a lil bobbed nose


I had no idea she had problems pronouncing her R's. She always pronounced CoopeRs limosuine as if there was no problem. What happened? That can't be from rhinoplasty.

And didn't Cooley agree to start saying "formerly of Klymaxx" etc?

I want that I Want All Your Good Lovin song from The Max Is Back..Imma have to go casette searching now in my closet

JANFAN4L said:

Is that what she says after "all over his..."??? For years I"ve been trying to figure that out!
I always thought it was something like "they're putting their hands over his ___body...I swear to God!"

I just listened to it and you're right!! I guess my NY accent threw me off... cuz we'd say "bawwwt".

While we're at it...in The Men All Pause, what does she say after "Just look at them people..." but before "a natural star... Radar!!""

it sounds something like "darkest dark" or something

GaryMF said:

"the natural dog"..as in the natural dog is comin out of the men (they even go "woof")

JANFAN4L said:

rdhull said:

on the show when talking to the girls for the second time yes, but the little witch is still going by the name of Klymaxx

rdhull said:

what does she say before "natural dog" then? ... right after "Look at them people"

the original members should sue.

And did you guys see mc lyte at the end of the show?

Hey,I finally saw this episode.It was nice seeing the girls reunite although the drama with Cheryl was just sad

But watching this episode made me wanna hear their old albums.

If I remember correctly,she is saying...

"the dog is coming out of them...the natural dog"

I missed this one last night.

I've seen them all - loved Berlin, laughed at Flock of Seagulls, and I THINK Frankie bailed because his voice wasn't up to it.

This one LOOKED to be awesome - cat fights, egoes, unburied hatchets - everything that makes a band HUGE. The Police, the Stones, Aerosmith, the Revolution, the Jacksons.

In my opinion, if the whole band KNEW this girl's been touring using the name all these years, it annoyed them, but they could have just as easily gotten it together to get their own show on the road; hell, wasn't there 4 Temptations on the road at one point? Same with the Ink Spots - my bass player played with one of those, and said one time they were in a town where another Ink Spots was playing.

So, it happens. And folks hate it. Whatever. Glad they got back together to play.

I LOVE that show!

I am loving this series but this episode with Klymaxx just made me feel sad.

Although I thought the ladies did a great job at their performance, and I just am loving seeing the joy in these people's faces at seeing their old bandmates (once they get past any tensions if there are any) and being able to play together again.

Also I think it's crummy of people to insult how the ladies looked. They're older (hey you're all gonna get older too and let's see how YOU look in about 30 years from now), they aren't going to look the same as they did in the 80s; and I personally thought they looked pretty darn good when they'd got themselves all glammed up for their performance.

Besides, the most beautiful part is just watching these bands back together, seeing the emotions, and hearing the old songs again..brings back so many memories for *everybody*.

Again, I must say how much I love these shows! Hope VH1 keeps making them.

It's too bad Cheryl is being the way she is.

SnowQueen said:

Thank you. I didn't have the patience to deal with those stupid comments.

Supernova said:

Totally agree. Thanks for speaking up!

well...it's almost 20 years ago for me too...but i know better than to wear something that i did when i was 20 (that would be some cross-colours yellow pinstripe jeans) Nothing wrong with putting on a few pounds in the belly, (hell, that's good living!!), but just because Sheila E can still wear one leg out tights doesn't mean everybody can.
Dress your age and your body size...

meltwithu said:

Actually, Sheila dresses much more conservatively now---athough still very sexily--even though she still has a great body and is beautiful!

At the Family Jamm she wore jeans and an off the shoulder top.

I just thought people were being kinda mean to the Klymaxx women unnecessarily.
