Rob has been gone for 25 years. Thank you Fab for continuing to tell both of your stories. R.I.P. Rob Pilatus 1964-1998.
He was actually born in 1965
Yeah, Rob died in my birth year 1998!😭
Mad crush on Rob…didn’t care if he never sang a note, all I could see was him in those videos…like Fab move over
I can't believe it's been 25 years already. Wow.
@@PelonMusk I know, corny!
It's so ironic that nowadays many artists can't sing and nobody cares. Rest in peace, Rob. You deserved better 😔.
So true. Like Jennifer lopez
@@gratefulblessed4447 She may not be a great singer, but she sings her songs. You need a better example.
@jeniestra. no Google it hun. Ashanti came out and said it. Ashanti voice was on one or more songs, brandy and Christina Milan. Unknown artists that we never heard but popular in other countries. She lip sync those artists. I know your a fan and I know it's hard to believe but its true
It's not that they can't
These guy were completely fraudulent...
Somebody else' made the record and they took credit
And pretended it was them
There's a huge difference
@@media696 It's fine If you think there's a huge difference, someone becoming famous without having any singing abilities is the same thing in my book.
I think there are tons of stories like this, this one is just the most well known.
There’s Den Harrow’s story in the documentary movie Dons Of Disco.
It is, there were the original Milli Vanilli type groups in the 1970s. Producers would write the songs, hire singers but the actual live performances were done by other people.
Yup! In fact I think the same dude who was responsible for them did the same thing to Boney M
@@TheMaddThinker-ix8qx They did that with Lipps, Inc., I discovered, when they did promotion for “Funkytown” in Europe.
@@foxroxy86yes he did.
One of the saddest things is hearing how well Fab actually sings at the end 😢 Very good documentary.
Their story is extremely sad and tragic. Rob never recovered from the humiliation. In the end, they were just two pretty boys hoping to make it big and who were taken advantage of. I have so much respect for Fab for soldiering on and finding his own path. I'll be watching for sure.
imagine all the people this happens to daily now. its a fad to belittle people for flaws and people are addicted to sharing commenting and distributing them. people just cant understand when i tell them what they are doing sharing memes videos articles pictures etc. on youtube tiktok facebook and other platforms but llike i said people are addicted to peoples misfortunes and the scammers that distribute it.
they didn't have to do it. they lied to everyone. they are crooks...
Tragic, they ripped off the original song and made it their own they’re Con artists!
@@Eric-lx8hpit happens it was just one son g right
Sad thing was they weren't the worst singers either! They were just two young men taken advantage of by a seedy music exec who managed to run off with all the money.
RIP Rob Pilatus (June 8, 1965 - April 3, 1998), aged 32
You will be remembered as a legend.
I have to say I was primarily a metal guy in the 80’s and when Milli Vanilli came on the scene even I stopped and took notice. After their fall, I continued listening to their music because it was just fun, catchy, and great stuff. Rob and Fab had a great vibe and I really didn’t care they didn’t sing. I am really glad Fab found stability and happiness, he deserves it.
Same hear I would stay up late to watch headbangers ball as a teenager but loved Milli Vanilli to and when it came out they didn't sing I still listened to there music and I am glad Fab got redemption and can actually sing really good!!
All 80's music was fun and catchy so doesnt surprise me a metal guy liked milli vanilli.
Fabrice and Robert -- you have earned your redemption. Rob, though passed away in 1998, you can finally rest in peace. Fabrice, you are living proof that when you owned up to your mistakes, you rise like a phoenix by proving to the world you CAN sing, not just for yourself, but for your fallen brother. Best of luck to you. Amazing documentary.
Agree with everything you said. Both were kind souls who wanted to escape their miserable lives. Who wouldn't!
@@ChadBest-ug8uo the documentary also felt like Rob crying for help and he never got it :(
just watched this movie. The most tragic part was hearing that Fabrice CAN sing. All of this drama could have been avoided.
For me the tragic part was, them meeting at the front of the bar where rob is crashed and being homeless
I just watched it too. I remember watching they spoke, before all drama, ans thinking, "Wow, their accents really gone when they're singing." I guess that answered the question. 😅
What I didn't understand was the backlash towards the singers, but not the producers and management.
I'm not a fan of their music, but they didn't deserved all the hate.
Never knew why they were hated on and vilified so much.
Many artists (especially in Europe) made entire careers out of lip synching and no one batted an eye lid.
Props to the original singers of course but mad props to Rob & Fab for their presence, style and dance moves, regardless of the vocals their energy and performance was a rare gem💎
Milli Vanilli was way bigger at that time than any other lip-synching act was. Milli Vanilli won a Grammy which essentially implicated the elites of the music industry into this whole thing. No other musical act that did this ever came close. Milli Vanilli managed to be big in America, which has the biggest and more conservative music market, and become household names.
They were the smallest entities in the "scandal". The laborer is always thrown under the bus. It doesn't matter if it's workers Amazon, actors or in this case lip syncers. The company or industry will allow them to be destroyed before they take a hit. Sadly, this really did cost someone his life...
@@TrestanSKYWALKR Unfortunately, most people really don’t see the music industry like that, and I’m sure there was a component of racism and xenophobia to the scapegoating of Rob & Fab as well. Rob & Fab were not only black, but foreigners and they were celebrities at the time, ones that were not particularly highly regarded to begin with. They were often ridiculed already. Clive Davis was not that big a household name and out in front with them and very few Americans knew about their producer Frank Farian, because he wasn’t out in front with Rob & Fab and because he really had no successful music acts in America. Boney M never caught on in America.
@@RocStarr913 I completely agree with you.
I remember when it happened and a lot of people didn't care.
Frank Farian built them up, then broke them down. It is unfortunate that Fab and Rob didn't have proper legal representation to help them from the very beginning . They were young and trusted Farian. Great documentary. Well put together.
To think that if they'd been around today, autotune would've solved all their problems. Things is, their real voices weren't that bad. They sounded better than many artists today.
That's a sad commentary on today's artists. Sad but true
They weren't bad at all and at that time they actually would have been good
If you have not seen the documentary, please watch it. It is definitely worth your time. It shines a light on much more than Rob & Fab. So glad to see Fab is doing well. RIP Rob.
Girl you know it's true....
Still a bop.
It was awful the way they had to take the fall (I remember not caring that they were lip-syncing) and then when Rob died... heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking.
This takes me back to November 1990... i wish i could go back in time and tell the millions of fans that they'd be redemption! RIP RoB! Thank you Fab for being so determined and never giving up! You are a true inspiration!
I remember the shots that the late night comedians such as Johnny Carson and others took at Milli Vanilli in 1991.
It was hardly only them. Martha Wash was replaced by someone lip syncing to her at least twice in the 90s that I know of. The most famous one is C+C Music Factory "Gonna Make You Sweat," but also Black Box "Everybody Everybody."
For Black Box, not only was Martha replaced in the music video by Katrin Quinol, they put Katrin on the album cover, and gave Martha no credit on the album, even though she sang lead on six of the eight tracks on the record. Only Katrin was credited initially as a vocalist, though she sang lead on _none_ of the songs.
People should've been more mad about the Martha Wash scandal than they were about Milli Vanilli
It wasn’t quite the same. The session singer was a willing participant for C&C and she basically was a background singer and did get credit in the liner notes for singing. She was not actually a member of C&C Music Factory during the first album. What she did was use the Milli Vanilli scandal to try to engender sympathy and launch her own solo music career.
@@jj-gk6rj Martha Wash was an obese black woman, so of course, not that many people were going to care. Plus, it wasn’t quite the same. She was a willing participant. She needed the money. She did get credits in the liner notes of the C&C Music Factory record releases. But she basically tried use the Milli Vanilli scandal to flip the story on the public to get sympathy and launch her own solo music career, which never really took off.
Martha took it to court tho, and she won
@@nicolemonrue It’s not like that made many people listen to or buy her own music. Most people still don’t know or care who she is. She basically tried to shove herself down people’s throats through grievance by way of a lawsuit. We all know that using basically grievance and victimhood to sell records worked out so well for Lizzo.
As a teen at the time, I loved Milli Vanilli. I didn't even care that the guys were lip syncing it. Just missed hearing the songs on the radio and seeing their videos on MTV. Too bad, because their whole image/concept was great.
Their second album is great. I wonder how it would have sounded had Rob & Fab not been fired.
"Too bad, because their whole image/concept was great."
@@arkady714 The music was great pop music and how it was marketed helped it tremendously.
@@RocStarr913 So, you condone fraud? That's a slippery slope.
@@arkady714 It shows that music is entertainment at its core. The producer hired great songwriters, great singers, and great frontmen as the face of it. In disco music particularly, it was more common than you think. Film and television series often creates illusions like that. The same thing can apply to music. The producer Frank Farian was very talented when it came to crafting recorded music. It shows in his previous creation Boney M’s albums, which the songs hold up pretty well. The Milli Vanilli music is still pretty good years later. Recorded music is often about creating aural entertainment. It doesn’t always have to be limited to authentic situations. Brian Wilson and The Beatles created incredible sounds that stretch beyond the conventions of instrumentation.
I LOVE that Fab is IN the documentary. The work he’s done these past years were full redemption. He rocks.
I was 16 when they hit it big and loved them - the music, the looks, the dancing - everything. So sad what happened to them in the years that followed. ☹️
What happened to them?
Wait not done yet SETUP PERFECTLY WATCH AND C
Blame it on the rain.
When I was a kid I was so sad to see society tear them down like they did. Now look at todays artists…they deserve better.
"You get something, but you make a pact with the Devil"
..now THAT explains it!! He probably told them "you'll be BIG stars"..but he DID'NT tell them, they would NOT be singing!!
By Rob & Fab’s accounts, that’s precisely what happened. They have always maintained that the producer Frank Farian did not tell Rob & Fab what their actual purpose would be until they couldn’t do anything about it. He had given them money that was meant to be an advance and they had to pay it back to cut ties from Farian, which of course, they couldn’t by then. Farian clearly knew what he was doing.
Amazing documentary. I had no idea the label knew about everything. The best part was the ending, Fab Morvan has a beautiful voice. They were both great entertainers. In retrospect, the producer could have had the studio singers go on tour as the backing band / support vocalists and let Fab and Rob do their thing live - then label the whole thing Milli Vanilli. The whole controversy seems almost tame now considering how much music in 2023 are studio / producer creations.
That’s what I have been thinking should have been done for live performances. They could all be there on stage
Frank is a real devil. Proud of Fab and the other artists for coming forward and exposing Frank. RIP Rob🙏❤️
according to the producer aka Frank, both Rob and Fab couldn't really sing. he said their voices were miserable. that's why he didn't allow them to actually sing. :/
This "devil producer" created all these songs what you like so much.
@@darkalice650 Actually it was the singers and musicians that created the music. He exploited them as well
@@Butterfly22593 who's these musicians? Show me a proof.
@@darkalice650 All you have to do is look up the musicians that played on the album. It's not hard to find
With the way the current music industry is. This Vanilli duo would be huge.
Absolutely loved the documentary! So many artist in ALL genres are being taken advantage off. Thank you Fab for telling your story.
In memory of Rob Pilatus. Fab u are fabulous ❤
What really bothers me is that an artist being caught lip syncing is basically a career killer, but most people have zero problem with the fact that a LOT of modern music is very, very heavily autotuned. If the end result in both scenarios is that very little (if any) of a person's actual voice is being heard, then it seems super weird for one to be considered bad while the other is widely accepted.
consider that you are talking about reactions to the same issue, with 30 years of difference. Nowadays, nobody cares if the singer uses autotune or not, as long as the song is good; it's a given that "everybody uses it" even if it may or may not be true. Back in 1989 autotune didn't existed, and artists were expected to truly "sing" their songs; all the lip sync was hidden because of customer expectations. Now things have changed
this was so good. Fab can sing and I'm happy he's doing well! I wish Rob was still alive, I'm pretty sure with the right vocal coach he could've performed right along side Fab.
I don't care if they didn't sing the actual songs. They performed them and entertained us like no other during the 80's!
Exactly, they were entertaners and they entertained.
@@GFS695yes they were entrateners lmfaooo
Then become dancers. But if you are portraying yourself as a singing duo but not actually doing anything then it’s fraud.
@@donna25871duhhhhh
Yeah sure 😂
Im so proud of Fab for making this happen❤
I am too!❤☺️
It was the producer/ Manager was the true villain. They used Rob and fab. And then they were dropped and left to deal with the humiliation and aftermath themselves. Truly awful how they were treated.
I read that there is biopic about them that is being done also which im excited for. i'm glad their story is being told. They were treated unfairly and it wasn't thier fault
I actually saw that movie a few months ago as part of a test audience. It was SO good!
@@daughterofolafThat excites me.
@@daughterofolaf that's great news, now I'm really excited to see it
@daughterofolaf REALLY?!! I can't wait 😆
Rick James once called out the people passing judgement on Milli Vanilli, saying that if someone came along and promised them a bunch of money & whatever else they wanted, they would have done it too.
I remember these guys like it was yesterday. A great documentary brought me to tears at the end. Happy for Fabrice.
RIP Rob
In 90s India,I was a school kid and i remember my father having an audio cassette of Milli and how he used to listen endlessly.play.rewind.play.rewind.
Those were the days.brought back so many memories.
Just finished watching this , I was never a fan of MV, but the story was worth telling…
And I feel terrible for both of them and may God rest the soul of Rob .
I’m happy to hear that Fab is doing great with his family .
Neither of the Boys have anything to be ashamed of & what I mean by that is the one person who walked away from this with his money and power intact is the guilty one.
The boys were just as much victims as the fans .
I hope Fab can continue his slow but productive rise to place himself above the wreckage of the past ..
Speaking of the past , there’s nothing we can do to change it, it’s done and over with .. it’s time we all move on and I hope Fab can do that !!
I always felt sorry for them. Still listen to their music to this day. Now lip-syncing is practically considered normal. Hate that Rob lost his life over this. RIP 🙏🏾
would have been too easy to blame the drugs
Yes!! I never cared about the lip syncing. The music was phenomenal.
What?
I agree, I still play their or whoever's music til this day
People on the internet love to celebrate their ignorance
Me either
It wasn't their music, which is the whole point. What you like was done by other people, not what you saw on video.
A testament of how amazing they were as a duo(and the whole concept of the producer), is that not even the unraveling of the scandal made them any less popular or liked after all these years. People still love them and remember fondly the music videos and them as "artists" not just "fakes"; you can set a dancefloor on fire if you play any of the original songs. The original band came out with the "Real Milli Vanilli" and nobody cared about them; people wanted Rob and Fab on stage as MV or nothing.
It's very sad that Rob just couldn't deal with the aftermath; it's a sad cautionary tale. Props for Fabrice for having the mental fortitude to come to terms with what happened and keep on living life, and carry the legacy
Don't care for haters, the album was big, and listens well even to this day. Have the Girl You Know It's True single in vinyl, a treasure in my collection.
Such a tragic story, but I love the redemption story Fab has, I'm so glad he has found peace and happiness with his beautiful wife and his beautiful children. In the end, that's all that matters.
It's here! Who's excited to hear the full story?
Going to be awesome! @onemedia.
I certainly am. We waited long enough ❤
As an '80s kid, I can't wait!
What Milli Vanilli did is now common, a lot of artists uses tools to correct the fact they cant sing. Looking forward to this.
There’s a difference between autotune, which is both a tool and a style, and literally not singing your on records at all. What did they did is NOT common.
@@calvarydominique yeah, reading the comments it seems so many people think that they were vilified for lip-syncing and not the real reason that they had absolutely noting to do with the music and singing to begin with. The songs are still great fun to listen to though, props to the actual singers.
"there is not another story like this in music history"
actually, this was beyond common in music history
there were a ton of one hit wonders during the 60s and 70s that were created by the same studio musicians, with "bands" showing up on music shows who simply limpsynched to the music
there were other disco groups who also lipsynched to music created by studio musicians
these two guys became the fall guys for the practice
They were inarguably by far the biggest. Rob & Fab were celebrities and Milli Vanilli was a household name.
@@RocStarr913 because they were publicly unmasked. the rest stayed under the radar for years. same story with the monkees
monkees could play, but werent allowed to on their albums.
big scandal
then came out years later that many albums of the 60s and 70s had the wrecking crew playing the tracks, with bands and solo artists providing vocals
@@thewkovacs316 The Monkees’ situation wasn’t nearly as consequential.
@@thewkovacs316I think MV had the unfortunate distinction of being victims of the rise of Information Age where you can’t just hide this stuff easily anymore. Cable TV, MTV & nightly entertainment shows like Acess Hollywood changed the game, then the internet a few years later.
@@mikeg2491 they were....but the same production company had done the exact same thing with different artists who simply didnt break out as big. that didnt come out until after mv.
and they werent the villains....the villains were the producers.
and it is like the monkees, because people also treated the monkees as the villains, when they didnt have a choice but to use studio musicians
and i heard rob and fab sing....they werent bad....with coaching, for the type of music that they did, they would have been fine
the first time this type of thing was exposed in the media was (believe it or not) on the brady bunch....where greg is discovered and they are going to turn him into a pop star and then totally change his vocals for the record. he gets upset and asks them why they chose him to become johnny bravo...they could do it with anyone and they tell him...."cuz you fit the suit"
Milli vanilli was one of my favorite groups . Even though they didn't really sing , the songs were great . They should've had a career in modeling after the controversy. Rip to Rob. Girl u know it's true is the most catchy pop song ever made.
I heard them talk in an interview and I knew instantly they did not sing those songs. However, I still enjoyed the music and watching them dance. I felt bad for the real singers that received no recognition and probably not paid much.
They didn’t care for getting the recognition. Otherwise, they would not have ever done it in the first place. They were just happy to get paid to sing on records.
Watched the docu and I honestly felt bad for these two. They were just two kids who were taken advantage of and then made into scapecoats. A young life is over because of the shame and ridicule they suffered. I love Rob and Fab and the songs, regardless of who sang them!
This is so sad. You could see the pain on their faces. I remember feeling so sad for them. I'm glad he is telling their story and i hope Rob knows somehow.
This documentary was well done. It fits to show how money and lies can destroy someone's life.
MV. Will always be an icon. 🌟
Amazing doc! They were "the look" of the music & deserved the fame. RIP Rob, thanks for sharing your story Fab...
But Fab Morvan can really sing.
That’s the sad part of this story. He has a RUclips channel. And you can check his live performances and he sings with the original singer of milli vanill.
He wasn't good at the beginning, over time become good because his English also getting better
I remember watching an interview with them before the scandal broke and being surprised that their talking voices were completely different from their singing voices. That era of dance music was a mess, the producers were the ones manipulating everyone but the models were the ones blamed for it.
Why do you feel it was a mess
@@crishnaholmes7730 read the rest of the sentence sweetheart
@@lsamoa mhm
I said the same thing years ago about their speaking voices. I was told "You're jealous because they're better-looking than you and have talent!" Hmmm...
@@SteveBello Haha, I hope you gave that person a resounding I TOLD YOU SO!! when people found out. I sure did.
This story is an absolute tragedy.
It's tough to imagine how producers and industry executives could be so complicit in exploiting a couple of naive young men who simply wanted fame and fortune. The real villains here earned millions and orchestrated a scandal that ruined careers and lives.
In the end, it's reassuring to see that Fab prevailed and found the things in life that truly matter. It's equally unfortunate that Rob was never able to find peace and happiness.
I am so very, very glad the story was finally told....as it NEEDED to be told. I have watched this several times and had tears streaming down my face each time I've viewed it.
Fabrice did a beautiful job narrating and talking of his experience in the documentary, and I know his heart is still very, very heavy from the loss of his brother, Rob Pilatus. He was just too young to die and left us way too soon.
Both of these young men had oodles and oodles of talent, but instead, were exploited by a terrible producer who has a pattern of doing just that.....and making tons of money along the way.
Fabrice....if you are out here.....and if you see this....I am so very, very sorry for the abuse and exploitation you and Rob went through. Furthermore, I am so very, very sorry for your loss of your brother, Rob. You both deserved so much better.
Just know there ARE people out here who are in your corner and who DO believe in you. You had and DO have talent....just be sure to keep on sharing it whenever, wherever and however you can. Take care of yourself and your gorgeous family! You ARE LOVED!
👏👏👏
This is such a sad story. I loved them their music and their performances were amazing! R.I.P. Rob ❤
I don't care if they didnt sang a note. I still love these guy. RIP ROB Great entertainers/showmen!💖💖
I remember the rapid rise and fall of Milli Vanilli as if it happened yesterday. They were massive. It really is a sad story for both Rob and Fab. Today, lip syncing is pretty common among popular singers/groups and no one bats an eye.
Lipsyncing is only part of the story with this group. They didn't sing on the album. THAT is why they got into trouble and had to give back their Grammy.
@@jennifergreen6510 they voluntarily gave back their Grammy IIRC
@@ratcloneEither way, they gave it back. They probably did have to give it back because they committed fraud. They won an award that they didn't earn.
I was in school when they blew up the charts. You couldn't turn anywhere without hearing about them. I remember how corny and cheesy they were but their music was super catchy.
Then the scandal blew up the media.
But still, today for nostalgia sakes, it doesn't matter if they lip-synced to the songs. They brought back so many memories.
Anyway, in today's context, lip-sync is just another facet of music. Case and point, auto-tune.
Their story truly illustrates the harsh realities of the (global) music industry and the prices paid by so many. Rest in peace Rob.
These guys are legends....no matter what
2 guys that didn't deserve the treatment they got. Keep being you Fab.
The ending gave me chills. “And Rob is part of that. I’m honoring his name every time I perform on stage.”
MV were and will always be sensational, and the tragic turn their career took was not their fault. Entangled in the questionable business practices of the music industry at that point in time was the norm. I hope that the sales of the 35th anniversary cd will be profitable, not in the dollar sense, but in some sort of validation for both artists. My VHS tape is already grainy and would love to purchase the vinyl copy this Nov. Kudos to Paramount for documentary.
Wow!!! Definitely will watch! This was the biggest news at that time. Such a tragedy! I'm very interested to hear the full story. May he rest in peace.
it's on Paramount+
Yes. Thank you. @@KeepOnRunningPictures
THEIR STORY HURTS ME TO MY HEART NOT BECAUSE THE LIP SYNCING BUT BECAUSE I REALLY LIKED THEM AND THE MUSIC SO SO MUCH. I WAS ENTERTAINED BY THEM, REALLY I WAS.
Every single bit of this story is a blockbuster movie material. It has everything and more - kids from orphanage and poverty shooting for stars, evil producer, planetar success, rise and downfall, their fallout, tragedy, new beginning for one of them, I mean its even too cheese to be real but it is real.
I just watched this. Up until now, I thought I knew what had happened, but I was wrong. It’s a real eye opener folks, and well worth the time… I highly recommend it.
Its weird how people still focus on rob and fab and not the actual singers. Easily as catchy as any pop music of the time and still holds up today.
Exactly ! I don't know why all the buzz goes around 2 dudes who only had the looks but setting totally aside the people with talent.
Right
@@ducedevlstear2471 well fab can actually sing, he is still doing music. u find plenty here on youtube. they didnt deserve allt he hate
@@KarlaDiamondpaw I'm not promoting hate, but why did he not sing himself in the first place ?
Still, I'd like to know more about the true MV, they are the talented ones !
And you are trying to discredit them ?
I tell people make fun of them all you want NO ONE back then ignored that album. NO ONE.. that was and still is one of a kind album and why it sold what it sold.
Craziest part? Fab has a great voice and if they were allowed to sing on their second album - like they wanted to, none of this would have happened.
These guys could really sing.
I’m so proud of you Fab!! Keep reaching for the stars ✨ ⭐️ 💫 🌟!! ❤❤❤much Love.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was one of the best documentaries of recent years.. I am so happy for Fab and his current life. He is such a kind soul and wish him the best. Rob is in a much better place. RIP
It was a completely shocking documentary with a lot of heart. Fab, I applaud you coming forward to tell this story. It makes me appreciate your music even more than I did when I was younger. I hope to get the opportunity to hear you sing in the future...I loved this. The ending was also very touching. ❤
Fab has always been telling this story. There are many interviews with him on RUclips, going back 20+ years. This new documentary is good, but it's almost all the same story already told.
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-baby!...dont forget my number! I´ll watch this first day😎
I feel so sorry for them :( 🌹
In the AutoTune Era, everyone is Milli Vanilli.
I would like to see this story turned into a film
awesome memories of this time...
I do wish that I had kept my original CD's and 12" club mixes of them...promo CD and vinyl...
as a DJ back then, I can say that the Music was a hit and is still good...no matter what...
so happy that there story is being told from their perspective, just as the old show did on VH1 called Behind The Music...
80s music forever ❤
I am so proud of Fab, I have been on his RUclips channel, and I have heard many times him talking about this movie for years and I'm happy that the movie is findly here this is amazing I can't wait to see it.
I was a HUGE fan back when I was in 5th grade. And I wasn't even mad when I knew they weren't singing because both guys were a package deal. They looked and performed like superstars. Watching this documentary is definitely an eye opener.
Frank Farian the producer of Milli Vanilli, did The same thing with Boney M. ( the singer never sing on the songs)
Its wild how Milli Vanilli got called out for what Boney M has been doing for decades.
And the same producer worked on both of them.
Because not only were Milli Vanilli actually big in America compared to Boney M, but they had won a Grammy award, so they embarrassed the music industry elites in the Recording Academy.
I don’t care what anyone else says about them. I still love their songs. All I can say is, Blame It On The Rain !! Girl, You Know it’s True!! …
The thing is... The duo can actually sing and I hope it would be shown in this documentary why they wasn't allowed to use their own voices.
No they can't what..lol are you high? I swear you people just make noises with letters on keyboards to champion your own mental illness. THIS IS OUT OF CONTROL. So sad.
It's in the documentary. Rob sings
@@magicalmiller watch the documentary, and come back to delete your nonsense
They tried to sing the same songs to "prove they could", but sounded terrible in comparison to the original singers. They weren't bad, but nowhere near good as the original, much to their misfortune. They tried to have a career as "Rob and Fab" but that went nowhere
@@magicalmiller They could sing. The issue at that time was their heavy French and German accents.
Everyone was singing Blame it On The Rain 🌧️☔!!!! Everyone wanted to be them! Yes, Everyone🎉😅 rip Rob
I feel so bad for both of them. I was a big fan of them and I was young. I never ever got angry about them not singing. I loved them anyway. I was just shocked when I found out they weren’t singing. My heart goes out to them both even today because the media didn’t have to be so cruel to them. They should have been cruel to the man who put this together for a second time!!! I’m so happy that Fabrice is doing so well and has a beautiful family now and is singing.
I still 💘their music. As a teenager in late 80s I was nuts about them. Miss those days.
Gonna get paramount plus. It’s about time!!
for my Friend Fab... Peace and love you "two" (kiss Rob).
“Girl, you know it’s-Girl, you know it’s-Girl, you know it’s-Girl, you know it’s”
I loved them and when this happened I never ever stop loving them! 🥰
It’s so sad that we lost Rob😪
They got skewered due to getting caught. -- in revealing the grand illusion of the pop music monolith.
More like Rob & Fab wanted out and the producer couldn’t control them anymore.
It' s so touching 😢
I was stationed in Erlangen West Germany back in late 80s when these guys pulled a fast one on the world. Milli Vanilli was HUGE in Germany. It was all a scam but the music was great. Cheers from America.
I loved them. They were great dancers. Good looking dudes.
I was never a huge fan of their music to begin with, but when the scandal broke, I remember how so many people mocked them and hated on them. I always felt bad for them from a personal standpoint.
Think whatever you want but it is well laughable.
@@ducedevlstear2471 if that's what you think... on the surface it might be amusing but I don't think it's funny when you see the pain it caused. I'm just not amused by things like that🤷🏻♂️
@@SLEEPTHIEFofficial it's not that I like to see them suffering, and not that I find it hilarious but it did make me chuckle when I've heard of it. Just natural reaction.
Anyway, TF did they expect ??
The thing I remember most was just how massive the scandal actually was for the time. If there's anything funny about the story now, its what today's music became out of a scandal like that. It was a weird way to enter the 90s, as far as music goes: Milli Vanilli, MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice... Calgon take me away.
they were made fun of even before the scandal, mostly due to their accents.
Fire trailer, can’t wait!!
Super sad. RIP Rob. And Fabrice I’m glad he found happiness. I don’t care that they didn’t sing. They made the group looks wise and entertainment wise. I still listen to the music all the time. And actually Fabrice could sing, he just wasn’t given a chance!! Shame they were the only ones thrown under the bus.
