@@GodsMysteryZone_ZenBuddyyea they just released a documentary on the group and while the lie made them world famous and rich it also cost a life. Was it worth it? Who knows?
Today Fab Morvan is a perfect singer. Rob Pilatos had the voice and sometimes I wonder what would have happened if he hadn't died. Surely today Fab and Rob would sing wonderfully well all their hits.
Agreed. Milli Vanilli would have had a resurgence as a nostalgic act today. Both guys were talented, they just needed to hone their voices like Fab did.
@@johnm140Exactly. Fab was on tour here with John Davis, one of MV's studio singers, as "The face and the voice" (although both were singing). Since John Davis passed away, Fab has been holding his own. I always think of Rob and wish he could also have all of that. 😢
@Vic Shirl What a Karma and when??? He's soon 90. Only losers rely on the power of Karma, which basically it doesn't exist. It only makes believers feel better.
I miss him so much.😪😪 i wish he was still here.😪he was such a gentle soul.what happened to this sweet man would never ever be his fault.😡I wish I could him that.☹️
Ich hab den Film gesehen. Ein sehr guter,jedoch trauriger Film. Hoffentlich ruhst du in Frieden Rob❤🕊...Berühmt zu sein hat auf jeden Fall seine Nachteile!
The whole thing around Rob breaks my heart into pieces. He was the brightest flame you could find. And he was just used. How can ever this be justified. I was mesmerized over him around 89-90. HE was not the only the image, he was the souls of MV. I am an atheist, so I can only hope that the producer and those who bring him down will just receive plain "karma", which is not a religious thought but just a thought of universe evening out the entropy i the best way.
Sad story...😢 ❤️ Why only Rob and Fab were in the heat of criticism, and the manufacturer? 😠 He got them into it and then whitened himself? How did he not suffer any consequences?! He destroyed Rob mentally and I won't forgive him!!!!!
At the beginning he says he didn't get a second chance to rehabilitate himself and his family suffered because of it. He says he still hasn't healed from the downfall. The woman narrator then talks about Robert being an adopted child and was hit when he was at his most vulnerable state. The psychologist then talks about the whole thing being a lie - the Mili Vanili band and how someone took advantage of the whole thing - played them like puppets on a string. She talks about how Rob believed in him and had him like a father figure- probably the manager? Then they show the funeral and she says that it took a big hit on him - the death by drugs / suicide? Then at the end she says hounded as an adoptive kid, downfall at stardom, silenced as a singer, died as a drug victim.
@mesicek7 Wow, thanks for the trnsltn!!! This world runs on different people and l wished he could've seen how much he was needed on this earth!!! And that pos...mngr. should've been the one to lose EVERYTHING THEY WERE JUST YOUNG NAIVE KIDS!!!!! I HAD their posters all over my wall, when the so called scandal broke out, I remember crowds of people burning their cassettes, they were so angry, but if they would've just took a moment to think how the songs made them feel,regardless who sung. It, would've never gotten that far and the media was dead wrong to shine the light on just those 2!!!!!! They didn't stop until they destroyed their lives ( literally)
The reason Rob was depressed in this interview was because, in order to stay out of prison and get on a drug rehabilitation program, he had to work for Frank Farian again (it was he who bailed Rob out). He once again coaxed him into "reuniting" Milli Vanilli, and he readily agreed. Frank was hoping that he could coax Fabrice back into it as well, but his manager at the time turned down the offer. Frank and Rob then started working on an album called, "Back And In Attack". How much of it was completed, I haven't the slightest clue, and it remains unreleased to this day. So Rob once again felt trapped, which, indeed, he was.
Aha, that´s what I thought to, that "Frank was hoping that he could coax Fabrice back into it as well." I wonder what was Franks mission, to win their souls, pay back or money? Not good to feel trapped when probablyl support was what he (Rob) needed.
Amor mío te extraño 😭 nadie te merecía eras un dulce ángel y tus padres no fueron muy buenos pero yo si te amo y siempre me acordaré de ti nunca confíes en Frank farian te hará más daño
It's kind of funny to me that although there are several non English language comments here, none of them are in German...so I guess I'll say, obwohl mir seine Musik egal ist, ist seine Geschichte sehr traurig
Oh man.. das tut mir echt so leid! 😔 Ja, man kann an sowas zerbrechen. Das können meist nur diejenigen nachvollziehen, die ähnliches durch haben. Schade, dass man ihm nicht mehr helfen konnte. Er war noch so jung.
Gone too soon should have let them sing they could sing .Rob couldn't handle the big fall from grace put him in a bad place hope your in a better place .r.i.p❤
Er war ein wunderbarer Mensch,ich habe als junge alles von ihm geliebt. Und das wird nichts ändern.❤ Ruhe in Frieden! Ps...Er hat die beiden benutzt,dass macht mich so traurig. ROB IM GEDANKEN AN DICH😢❤
She talks about an experience of loss, why he could not rehabilitate himself because of Frank Farian "power games" with the two artists. Because he is an adopted child, he has had early experiences of being taken advantage of, she talks about that.
He asked for a 2nd chance - Rehabilitation. It was the idea of producer of Frank Farian to make the lip sync who also did the same with Boney M. Weirdly nobody talks about Boney M's Lip Sync or about the producer Mr. Farian. 🤔
@@salmansengul For real. It damn bothers me that no one made a big deal about Boney M and Technotronic. The CC Music Factory band did make news but it wasn't damn blown out of proportion like Milli Vanilli's case
Rezo para ele e acredito que,de alguma forma,ele sabe que há pessoas que o ama, como era e que tudo teria passado se ele tivesse esperado mais um pouco!❤
@@doreen3229 I read that Rob never had a son. If you search online there are no pictures of any son because he never had one. Also the new Milli Vanilli 2023 documentary on mentions that Fab had 4 kids and lives in the Netherlands. Rob had none.

I feel like he was the brother I never had. I wish I could have told him that his "dreams will come true.......his life will be great. Don't give up. You're just getting started." He had a bad childhood hood growing up as a orphan and suffering horrible discrimination because of his colors. Life was way different, then. RIP brother Rob.

schau dir wenn du kannst die paramount + doku an und falls du noch nicht hast den film. F. Farian und die anderen Verantwortlichen sind nicht unschuldig.
Frank Farian hat die Beiden benutzt, sie wollten immer alleine singen. Die Beiden waren jung und unerfahren. Diese Hexenjagd und Robert war durch sein ganzes Leben schon anfällig und seine Schwester konnte ihn nicht auffangen.
Rob was feeling himself once the fame hit, even said they was better then Elvis and the beetles knowing he couldn't sing. Then trying to black mail frank for money. That's why frank came out and told the truth
Rob said different at the press conference. That it was them that pushed Farian to tell the truth. The doc does say it was Farian that did it to punish them. Both could be true.
Yes it is mostly. Farian was far more experienced and older and knew that he mislead them, Otherwise he would have told them to read the whole contract with a lawyer.
many people have a hard life and suffer nothing but bad luck. robert had his karma and wasn t man enough to just deal with it. i knew him well. he got his...
You can tell he was a kind soul, just really broken from what happened, but hopefully he’s much better where he is now, we love you and miss you Rob.

Why Rob & Fab didn't sue the manufacturer? He tricked them into it with a contract.
Dieser Mann war so schön und gut. Es ist traurig. Dieses kleine Kind war ein Diamant.
Woher willst du wissen ob er gut war ?Ihr sieht immer das offensichtlich schöne aber das innere kann niemand sehn Merk dir das kleine
If only he knew that now today it’s the norm what they did . Never give up . ❤
RIP TO A VERY BEAUTIFUL MAN.
Utterly heartbreaking story, outrageous how Farian got away unscathed. Incredible injustice 😢
