I just watched it last night and it was so good. Someone should be taking a shot every time i said how they looked exactly like the original members. And the acting was so good too
I hope this brings justice to Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus (RIP). They got lambasted and shamed for doing something that makes random Tiktokers famous nowadays.
yeah he actually sound better than the "real" artist(s) who sung those original hits. Even at his older age now - his vocals are great! Damn shame how they were done! smh Exploited and taken advantage of fully by corrupt "Hollywood type people. smh... Shit they went thru, the stress, axiety, depression, and the shitshow aftermath after they were outed... they actually deserved those damn Grammys imo.
Fab did redeemed himself, and saved his reputation. Gotta give him respect for making a comeback, improved his singing, and singing the music that made him and Rob famous.

She knew about Milli Vanilli before they were exposed and even told me to come to Germany to make money by doing this very thing.

All that to say, it was my understanding that the vocalists had an idea of what was going on and what could happen. I’m sure they didn’t know the group would blow up like this though, but maybe not completely duped if that was a practice back then?

I hope the surviving member makes some money out of this. They were so young. Groomed and duped by unscrupulous business people, only to be humiliated on a worldwide scale.
Fab and Rob's daughter (or sister, could be wrong)are consultants. Everyone who was actually involved with what took place is a producer or a consultant. @ARIARI-to2eb
@anthtan because they were used as the scapegoats. Sadly, their race made it easier to do so. The world saw it as 2 young black men lying and deceiving us. Plus, a lot of people on the outside of the industry didn't have knowledge of the ins & outs of that industry. Since we know so much more about it now, this movie will right the wrong done to these brothers.
He's doing really good. There was a show on I think the Paramount app that went into super detail about them and the who still living still do shows have a good life and and family. Hes learned to embraced his legacy and past.
I just watched this biopic, and it was very touching. I know Rob is smiling down from Heaven, and Fab is keeping his memory alive. I cried at the end when Rob passed away. To the two young men who portrayed Milli Vanilli, YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB ❤ ❤❤❤❤
They were MASSIVE, which made their demise even more tragic. Yes, everyone laughed when they fell through. Sad thing is though, everybody lipsynched back then. Rob and Fab were the faces, like so many other acts who had studio artists making the music. But they were just so wildly popular, and the music only succeeded through THEM. So rip Rob and salutes to Fab, who’s luckily overcome all the bullshit and is enjoying a great life as musician and deejay.
@@doh4828that’s what kill’s me, the majority of singers will do some or all lip sync at their concerts to give their best physical performance while not off on the music. It’s a common practice and most people knows this and are okay with it.
“Exactly” is a bit much. One of them seems like poor casting but then again, he was an incredibly handsome young man. Maybe it’d harder to find a match…with that natural eye color.

What was sad was they could both sing well,they just weren’t allowed to. They proved it after the lipsync truth came out. Sadly,nobody wanted to sign them,and one of them,Rob,committed suicide. 😢
@@ChrisMusson-kv8phyou can absolutely say that - being proud of your race is wonderful. It is not the same as tearing down another, as your comment seems to be implying.
The music, the looks, the image, the dancing, the scandal, the downfall, the interviews, the backstory, the documentaries, the resurgence of Fab, and now the movie... with the exception of Rob's death, we've loved it all. Amazing story.
I remember in the 80s we'd cut class in highschool and go to a 'video bar' that had TVs mounted on the wall and watch MTV videos. I remember seeing Milli Vanilli's videos and told people that they were not the singers...to me it was so obvious! No one believed me. I really liked the band. Well, I am surprised it took so long for people to figure it out. I'm no expert at all! It was just super obvious. Crazy times!
As a tween I had front row seats at one of their concerts and I can say for a fact that they rocked the show! I didn't think, see, or notice for one second that it was staged. They were performers who did just that...they performed! "Fake it till you make it" is an aphorism that suggests that by pretending to have confidence, competence, and an optimistic mindset, a person can eventually develop those qualities in real life." I believe many of us do this in order to navigate through this thing we call life💯.
People to this day still talk so much trash about them but they have no idea about HOW this all came about. These guys were used, abused and thrown to the wolves.
I will offer 2 comments. They might contradict each other. 1) It is super-ironic that Rob and Fab were dragged through the mud and hit with lawsuits and became national laughing stocks, when Michael Jackson lip-synced, too, and somehow no one cared. He was heralded as a genius and the King of Pop and made more money than God, as a matter of fact. He was a super-star for doing the same thing that Milli Vanilli did. Britney Spears became the most famous woman in the world precisely for lip syncing. She made an entire career, an entire empire, out of it. But Milli Vanilli became pariahs. Yes, life is ironic. 2) I still think these 2 are con artists, as are their producers and managers, and don't believe their protestations of innocence. Of course they will paint themselves in a good light and act like they were victims.
to be fair they are a million times more famous and worldwide. They still get replays in parties in african villages😂. Run and PE are only now known in the purist and oldhead hiphop circles, even the general hiphop crowd barely knows them
What makes their story the saddest to me is in the end they went back to Frank Farian because no one would touch once they were exposed, smh. They went back to the people who used & abandoned them
@@alk3hall977The sad part is they actually DID have talent. They could sing, but the label didn't care enough for their singing abilities and just wanted their image to put with a hit song that was already recorded. They even released an album recorded with their real voices. But the damage was already done by then, and nobody wanted anything to do with them.
loved them, their dance, their music...the 80s everything..who gives a shit now if they mimed...always love listening to them again and again...time machine youtube
The first concert I ever went to was Milli Vanilli in Sacramento 1989. Young MC and Jaya (If You Leave Me Now) opened up for them. I remember they were all good.
The Actors In This Movie Are: Tijan Njie - Rob Pilatus , Elan Ben Ali - Fab Morvan , Matthias Schweighöfer - Frank Farian , Bella Dayne - Ingrid " Milli" Segieth and Tijan Marei - Carmen Pilatus
As someone who came into his twenties and thirties between '86 to '96 , l remember how big they came to be with Girl, You Know lt's True and Blame lt On The Rain and then that track got stuck in "Girl, you know; girl you know....." in that concert filmed on a camcorder and sold it to every 📺 network that wanted to show it.
Misunderstood781981 l'm actually in my late 50's. I enjoyed what many pop music historians consider to be the greatest decade in pop music history, the 1980's.
Frank Farian screwed them over so badly it killed Rob. The world turned them into villains and never let them forget. And then because of a TV show of the menendez brothers, they are being discovered again. the world owes them a deep apology.
Hopefully more people realize that the real joke was the producer. He made a killing doing this in the 70’s with Boney M and he tried it again with Rob and Fab. Sadly, they took that heat with them till very recently.
The other guy who is still alive today can really sing well. I think its their thick accents at the beginning that is holding them back from singing it in their own voice competently.
@@ramanjeet1111 The US distribution company. They tend to release a lot of cheap/bad genre movies. None of the major distributors picked this up for a wide release so they're doing a simultaneous release in limited theatres and on video on demand rental.
Will definitely be watching this. No denying the songs were absolute hits but feel bad for what Rob and Fab ended up going through, it wasn't their fault they were 100% used.
Why? They agreed on the plan. They didn't have the talent to sing, but they had the looks and they could dance (the actual singers were fat) It was just a business deal to make profit. Everyone involved got their share of the pie, but then they simply got "found out" There's nothing remarkable about this story.
I wish people were more understanding and accepting when this all went down! The world would still have a bright star shining among us, but instead he burnt out bc this world was too cruel to forgive and forget! I was 10 yo at the time and knew it wasn’t as bad as everyone made it out to be. Just sad…RIP Rob ❤
I'm so glad a biopic is coming out about their situation! Because listening to his interviews you will look at their situation totally different from how the media portrays them.
I work in the Music Industry here in London and have written and produced for a lot of very well known bands and artists both here and in the States. What's really quite sad with Milli Vanilli is that this still goes on today with a lot more bands and artists than people realise. It always has. They were just very unlucky because they wanted more creative control, more input and worst of all tried standing up to the producer and machinery which operated behind them. That very rarely works in any of the Entertainment Industries - especially if it's going to start disrupting people's money and you are their cash cow 😳🇬🇧
The worst thing about it was there singing wasn't bad, so they could of just sung on the records + sung live anyway! But when they came out with their own voices wth the album titled Rob + Fab as you know they sounded alright-so what was the problem??????? Also when I wasin a band over 10/11 years ago we were offered a record contract with a sub label off of Universal but they wanted 80% control-and we were booked to go on TV shows/record an album etc 🤷🏻♂ We turned it down as we also had a lawyer look through it. And exactly still goes on-Look what happened with Den Harrow really big in Europe esp in Italy, Germany, + Sweden as you prob know! But the voice songs sung by Tom Hooker. from 1984-1987 but by 1988 he then used his real voice anyway-Let alone other ones like: C+C Music Factory, Valerie Dore, etc
I feel so bad for them :( especially Rob. Yes, they weren’t the real singers, but they did not deserve that hate. Literally influencers now in days get famous for doing absolutely nothing, at least they tried to redeem themselves and show people they could sing.
I really loved the movie. They were set up by their own label and the people to fail, but they were performers and killed it regardless. And I hope this movie gets them justice.
We can't say that they were perfectly innocent. But they were naïve as well as they really wanted to be stars and be loved by the fans. They needed money, they were basically penniless. What was not fair that there were others who were responsible ( some of them even more than Rob and Fab), but the boys took ALL the blame. I cant really tell whether Rob could ( or could have learnt to) sing/rap well. But I think Fab is really good. (Not a genius but geniuses are VERY rare. ) They both had this charisma what is more than being very good dancera and having good looks.
Whoever did the casting for this was on fire.
100% they look IDENTICAL
Definitely wasnt the people at Lifetime, you know they would cast Viola Davis to play T-Boz in a movie. LOL LOL LOL!!!

So did I, that would have been a little come up for him too
@@a.KniteOwl same! That's the only reason I watched!
Me too!
@@BOSSLADY-cu8vs Girl you know it's true...Keellllll loves orange soda!
@@a.KniteOwl Lol
I don't care what anyone says..I STILL blast the heck out of their songs..lol. I think their great!!!
Loved Milli Vanilli. A roller coaster for them and it ended so sadly.
it's about time there's a movie about my fave performers!
Casting did a great job.
Big facts.
idk why i could picture the french dancers "Les Twins" playing them as well
It's about time because the industry did them dirty i will be watching this movie
Wooow the casting!!
Frank Farian screwed them over so badly it killed Rob. The world turned them into villains and never let them forget. And then because of a TV show of the menendez brothers, they are being discovered again. the world owes them a deep apology.
I loved the recent documentary, they received way too much hate and I am glad the Fab got a happy ending.
Hopefully more people realize that the real joke was the producer. He made a killing doing this in the 70’s with Boney M and he tried it again with Rob and Fab. Sadly, they took that heat with them till very recently.
The other guy who is still alive today can really sing well. I think its their thick accents at the beginning that is holding them back from singing it in their own voice competently.
Fabrice Morvan is the other guy and yes he can really sing.
ABOUT DAMN TIME! ⌚️!!!! 💯
..I CANT WAIT
RIP ROB 🙏🏾🕊️
I watched a documentary not so long ago and knew their story deserved a movie! Can't believe what they went through after delivering timeless hits
Definitely watch, even if it's vertical
vertical???
@@ramanjeet1111 The US distribution company. They tend to release a lot of cheap/bad genre movies. None of the major distributors picked this up for a wide release so they're doing a simultaneous release in limited theatres and on video on demand rental.
Will definitely be watching this. No denying the songs were absolute hits but feel bad for what Rob and Fab ended up going through, it wasn't their fault they were 100% used.
I’m sold! My sisters loved them.
Just seen it on Prime.
Great movie 👍
I've always felt bad for those two
You felt bad for liars.
Awesome
Your values are all fucked up.
LMFAO no talent hacks
@@alk3hall977 They were amazing entertainers & dancers, fashion, they very much had talent
Um, you think you can dance & perform like them? Stahhp
Why?
They agreed on the plan. They didn't have the talent to sing, but they had the looks and they could dance (the actual singers were fat)
It was just a business deal to make profit. Everyone involved got their share of the pie, but then they simply got "found out"
There's nothing remarkable about this story.
Ain't gonna lie, every time a Milli Vanilli song comes on, it brings back the best feelings and memories EVER! Can't wait to watch this movie.
CRAZY PART IS THAT THEY COULD ACTUALLY SING !!!!!!!!!!!! at the sametime they had Black Box singing over Martha Wash.
no they couldnt
Black Box. Now there's another band with a great lead singer who deserved better.
@@kidrobot. Fab can sing well
Milli Vanilli was huge when i was a kid, i remember the downfall.
The 80s had a certain charm about them, just like the 90s...current times though 🚮
it's the nostalgia. don't let it blind you
@@kidrobot. nah. it's more than that.
The songs became famous in their faces.,i love it.
YES!!!!! CANT WAIT TO WATCH THIS! ❤❤❤
I don't care what anyone says they earned that Grammy . they were awesome entertainers .
Definitely watching this!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️👍🏾
I absolutely love Millie Vanillie❤❤❤❤❤ Can't wait to see this.
I dont even listen to their music but I’m going to watch this. This is such an interesting story.
I wish people were more understanding and accepting when this all went down! The world would still have a bright star shining among us, but instead he burnt out bc this world was too cruel to forgive and forget! I was 10 yo at the time and knew it wasn’t as bad as everyone made it out to be. Just sad…RIP Rob ❤
I think that record skip was intentional. Even as a child I felt that way.
They deserve this. I remember watching their Behind the Music episode years ago.
Their story needed to be told. I'm glad this was made.
I'm so glad a biopic is coming out about their situation! Because listening to his interviews you will look at their situation totally different from how the media portrays them.
August 9th!
Is it on Netflix or Hulu?
@@adellerivers Neither,but it is on Amazon prime,Apple TV or Fandango
@@adellerivers it's on apple TV or Amazon prime
I work in the Music Industry here in London and have written and produced for a lot of very well known bands and artists both here and in the States.
What's really quite sad with Milli Vanilli is that this still goes on today with a lot more bands and artists than people realise. It always has.
They were just very unlucky because they wanted more creative control, more input and worst of all tried standing up to the producer and machinery which operated behind them.
That very rarely works in any of the Entertainment Industries - especially if it's going to start disrupting people's money and you are their cash cow 😳🇬🇧
The worst thing about it was there singing wasn't bad, so they could of just sung on the records + sung live anyway!
But when they came out with their own voices wth the album titled Rob + Fab as you know they sounded alright-so what was the problem???????
Also when I wasin a band over 10/11 years ago we were offered a record contract with a sub label off of Universal but they wanted 80% control-and we were booked to go on TV shows/record an album etc 🤷🏻♂
We turned it down as we also had a lawyer look through it. And exactly still goes on-Look what happened with Den Harrow really big in Europe esp in Italy, Germany, + Sweden as you prob know!
But the voice songs sung by Tom Hooker. from 1984-1987 but by 1988 he then used his real voice anyway-Let alone other ones like: C+C Music Factory, Valerie Dore, etc
That song still hits today🔥
Girl you know it's - Girl you know it's - Girl you know it's - Girl you know it's - Girl you know it's
I feel so bad for them :( especially Rob. Yes, they weren’t the real singers, but they did not deserve that hate. Literally influencers now in days get famous for doing absolutely nothing, at least they tried to redeem themselves and show people they could sing.
great... finally a good movie to watch and to watch again👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ooh I can’t wait to see this! I loved Milli Vanilli
Why it took so long for their movie. We done had every movie from M C Hammer to Bobby Brown. Finally!
I hope this movie tells the actual true story. They did a great job choosing actors!
everyone knows the story already
I was in college when this all went down. Their music was hot!
I can't wait till this movie coming out I still love that hit song today
August 9th
I really loved the movie. They were set up by their own label and the people to fail, but they were performers and killed it regardless. And I hope this movie gets them justice.
We can't say that they were perfectly innocent. But they were naïve as well as they really wanted to be stars and be loved by the fans. They needed money, they were basically penniless.
What was not fair that there were others who were responsible ( some of them even more than Rob and Fab), but the boys took ALL the blame.
I cant really tell whether Rob could ( or could have learnt to) sing/rap well. But I think Fab is really good. (Not a genius but geniuses are VERY rare. ) They both had this charisma what is more than being very good dancera and having good looks.
Fab Morvan é um excelente cantor. Esse filme é mais que necessário. Milli Vanilli marcou uma geração.
