as a black German woman who lived through the 80s & 90s in Germany & had almost the exact same experience being cast to lip sync to pre recorded songs just for the optics, I can assure you the movie depicted everything very accurately..INCLUDING the bad hair wigs( Germans had no experience with black hair)..black people were viewed as exotic & exciting & inherently musically talented ( which I wasnt) & I was constantly approached by talent scouts & music producers to perform in music videos & cast girl groups , I was viewed as a status symbol & fetishized & commodified..Frank Farian needs to get more exposed for exploiting this phenomenon ..
Could you explain me why only the member of MV got attacked so much to the point of self deletion when it was the producer's plot first & foremost? The German producer did the fake lip-synching Boney M (which seemingly never got attacked like MV) way before this. He should be the one canceled before anyone.
@@vehzee Boney M were blacks as well. Never got cancelled.
The original "Girl You Know It's True" is by a Baltimore-based collective called Numarx. The song was an earworm that was ALL OVER the clubs and radio throughout 1987-88 here in B-More, so when Milli Vanilli hit, most of us locals figured either one of two things happened: the Numarx sold it to MV or were ripped off. Glad they got their just due, and they did indeed go on to do BIG things in the industry, including discovering Toni Braxton, one dude becoming the president of Def Jam, and another doing session work with Timbaland. Dudes are hometown legends.
The wardrobe department deserves an award on this film. Spot on. I don’t care how many films are made about their true story, MV will always be Rob & Fab singing to me. I was transported right back to being 15 years old watching this, and I sang and danced along with them. Loved it, wigs and all. Your channel is my favorite ❤️
I remember this being like the first episode of behind the music on VH1
The actor who plays rob was in the german version of dancing with the stars and came second. Fun fact, I live in switzerland so we watch a lot of german tv. I think that‘s part of the reason he got the part in the film. ❤☺️ He‘s of tunisian and gambian descent.
When I first saw the trailer for this and saw Fish Jelly would be showing their review soon, all I could think about was Joseph's opinion on those crunchy braid wigs, lol.
I remember after the scandal, they reformed as Rob & Fab and performed "Girl You Know Its True" live on The Arsenio Hall Show. I thought they sounded pretty good! Very different from the recording and with a heavy accent but still good!
Fab is a decent singer and goes on tour good for him. But also am I the only one who isn’t that hurt by the lip synching? No shade but I feel the actual singing on the songs is just ok 😂
Idk I never thought the singing on their songs was anything special or outstanding. Is that just me? Compared to, for example, when black box was using Martha Walsh and not giving her credit. Cause could SANG
U vocalised everything I think better than me. Ty 😂
What I recall (as a teenager) at the time when they broke out in the 1980s, was how my school friends and I thought it odd and revealing that they were big in Germany, and in our circles (perhaps because we were also studying German in school) we linked it to how Blackness seemed to be ‘sexoticised’ (the erotic exotic) in German entertainment (ditto Boney M) for domestic German audiences. In my twenties I began to link it to other such moments, and then when I spent time in Germany (and especially the time spent in München/Munich, where the group originated), experienced (and heard other Black people remark on) how racism in Germany often underpinned the view of Black people as sexual objects which may also explain why they became so famous so fast in a country in which being exoticised was part of their appeal. Many of us ‘joked’ about their oddness right from the start of their careers.
EXACTLY..💥🎉 as a black Germany woman , who grew up in the 80s in Germany I whole heartedly agree, we were fetishized ,commodified, idealized, objectified, stereotyped , type cast & passend around..& Frank Farian exploited that phenomenon to the max & then betrayed & abandoned his " creations" 😒😵
The styling in this movie looks IMMACULATE to me. Would watch for that alone
My sister told me about this a few months back and now I'll have something to do on my birthday weekend! Thank you for uploading this today 💛🦁🦋
Really excited for this one ❤I loved them it broke my heart when the whole lip syncing thing came out 😮😅
Funny how times have changed because image appears to surpass talent now in many instances…auto tune, etc
☔️Blame It On The Rain!!!☔️
This Old White Lady thinks they were dangled off a balcony. They were Martyred.
How Bout Jenny From the Block?
💕Thank You For Your Service!💕
Gurrrrrl, you know it's TRUE!!
If you know, you know...😮🎉
Did they blame it on the rain? Want to see this one. These guys were scapegoated ending in tragedy.
That’s interesting…in other interviews given by Fab he claimed they had no idea about the lip singing and that they were outraged when they found out. At least that’s what he said in a Vlad tv interview.
Ooooh, I can't wait to watch this review. I'm torn with this movie is going to be really good or 90 minutes of my life I can't get back. I remember being 18 years old and seeing them in concert.
Another great review. Thanks 🎉 I doubt I seek this out though.
Now you know…I can’t wait for this!!!!
I like documentaries because the good ones at least give us the real picture, which is why I watched Cocaine Cowboys 2 and Godmother of Cocaine before watching Netflix'sGriselda
I feel sometimes they want them to be too sympathetic like in Little Shop of Horros (1986) rehabilitated the crazed (1959) Seymour as a reluctant participant when he was all in.
Just an example. And you've got a new subscriber! Love your commentary!
Im surprised yall don’t remember the VH1 Behind the Music of them
Ummmm... Just my 3¢... BUT.. I remember working in a restaurant that played satellite music channels over the speakers.
One day a song of theirs was playing on the music channel, ( Mind you this was easily 15-20+ years after the whole scandal). But I went to look at the TV channel because it would give information related to the song playing, like the performers, band name, name of song, name of album, release date etc.
Any way I was totally surprised that in the info it said the artist name was Millie Vanillie and all the info relating to them and not the names of the actual singers of the song or info related to them.
That seemed really odd to me, simply because these two people were dragged over the coals for this, treated so badly!! So much that one of them took his own life!! Yet many years later they were still being credited as the artist and the real artists were not getting any credit or recognition for it.
So ultimately I really have to think, was the backlash and attack that they got really even deserved to the degree that they received?!?!
"was the backlash and attack that they got really even deserved to the degree that they received?!?!"
No absolutely not. Human mobs are incredibly destructive.
@@Desmond-Dark Totally agreed 1000%!!
22:17 that meme is funny but very true especially in todays culture 🤣
Looking forward to it
I will watch this for sure. I had such a crush on the guys backj in the day. 😂
Milli Vanilli ahead of their time #AutoTune
It’s wild that people are famous for doing the samerhing.
They finally got a movie where the actors looks actually like the real singers and plus the movie is real good! I don't see why it didn't go to the theaters when that new Whitney Houston went to the theaters and it wasn't good as the millie vanilli movie.
They did an acoustic version, but I would have loved to have seen Fab Morvan sing girl. You know it's true and blame it on the rain with John Davis. That reunion with the original singer would have been more sentimental. Check out the TH-cam video.
You guys, Rock
Thanks for the review. I'm gonna pass. Lol
The movie came out here but only in German lol 😡I'm glad there's an international release /subbed version available. Hopefully it's good
8:11 Although interesting, would that veer into libel territory? And how does liberty avoid libel?
FRIEND REQUEST is a very underappreciated film ❤❤
My friend Monica once told off some snotty woman in a store saying, "Girl I do not want your Man!" This catty woman was the shop keeper's soon to be wife. This is similar to the title of this film. But Monica's saying had an obvious different meaning. Monica and I have always joked that we must make a movie called "Girl I do not want your Man!"
I wonder if they made this movie back then would have had more attention as now we kind of used to singers lip singing and blame it on the mic , just for me it is not as controversial now as it was back then
I remember their success and later scandal. They were huge it seemed almost instantly and perhaps the lack of movement toward fame is on purpose? Interestingly enough, I remember feeling so bad for them during their fall from grace. Yeah, I remember sympathizing because fame can cause people to do many things, we see it all the time especially here in the U.S. Also, I didn’t care that they couldn’t sing because there were already a ton of talentless people making it big and I didn’t really see the difference with them.
Another Crispy review …. Not sure it matters in today’s world…I think the fans would love the show… and that would be fine. The price they paid too high.
Anyone from the 90s could explain me why only the member of MV got attacked so much to the point of self deletion when it was the producer's plot first & foremost? The German producer did the fake lip-synching Boney M (which seemingly never got attacked like MV) way before this. He should be the one canceled before anyone.
Nobody got dragged, because everybody knew and nobody cared!
Since the early days of Boney M. it was well known that Bobby Farrell did not sing on the records. Frank Farian was very vocal about him being the actual voice. (Since Farian had a priof career as a singer, it was also not so easy to hide).
They even were open about the fact that only two of the girls could be heard on the recordings.
As long as the hits were coming, the band members also didn´t copmplain. That all came later.
With Millie Vanilli it was the same, you can even hear Farian on some backing vocals. The scandal was only happening in America as there is still the notion of AUTHENTICITY reigning supreme.
It IS a tragedy what happened to those two men, but exploitation and shady industry deals are always a part of the game. It´s not making it OK, but Rob & Fab got the short end of a deal, which looked like a winning ticket. A truly Faustian story...and they got blinded by the promise.
I thought they wanted to be Terence Trent Darby. I would be interested in seeing a movie about him. 😊
Love your reviews as always ✨💕
So, the 'packaging/marketing' part was knowingly false, and the duo was open to fame seeking. I actually did not know that they were German even, though I recognize the hits, so fans vote may turn out to be the X factor they exuded on stage☺
I don't care what no one says this was part of my teenage years Milli Vanilli was bad i loved them still listen to them but of course something was off about with them but when the scandal was exposed don't forget other ppl was exposed also like Paula Abdul i still feel bad for him they were the front men for the company scandal if the record company knew already but they were punished severally and put on blast.
Where can i see this flim? 😭😭 i saw the documentary on paramount plus it's more detailed and well done.
Fandango,Prime video,TH-cam...6.99 rental
Just curious when you guys review Alien Romulus, are you going to do a non spoiler version as well? Just Asking "!👍💯💯👍
You guys are too young and don't know the whole story. They actually believed they could sing, and were planning an album when Rob died. Fab still sings live to this day. I'm not saying they were the best singers, but why would they admit to each other or anybody else that they couldn't sing if they believed they could?? Just an ignorant comment.
🌪️🃏🧞
here is a suggestion- for any time in the future you spoil another movie in a different movie you can beep or mute out the words being said and then put a funny graphic on your mouths. i saw that some people were very disturbed - it like rocked their life to the point of true hurt. I hope they check in with themselves of why this bothered them that much. Bothered yes, but not that much. Anyway, this is a way you can edit the video without ruining the flow through a cut edit.
Ok calm down
Yes @@wanya_telborn
OK why they looks gay?😂😂😂😂
