Love how Fab articulates his story. He has so much compassion as he speaks. Beautiful soul. I pray all the best for him.🙂
Yep, he's a real one.
Thanks for this interview. I'm so glad that he's telling the story. I grew up following these guys, and I didn't understand why people were so upset. It was not their fault.
I didn't get it either because this was so normal and many other acts from that same period didn't sing on the record either, yet nobody seems to care or to be upset about it but with Milli Vanilli it was such a huge scandal and drama lol. I think that if they had not partnered with the American market nor get the Grammy maybe it wouldn't have been so controversial as it was. Still too much anger from people lol
I agree with you wholeheartedly and the saddest part is Fab has an amazing singing voice I actually didn't understand why they didn't let him at least sing, it was a horrible tragedy
It was rooted in someone who saw them as money, not people. 😢
I was a fan then, but now I'm absolutely full of respect & hope Fab continues on his journey in success. I so look forward to any new work he puts out.
I feel exactly the same way.
The documentary brought me here I’m glad he has done well for himself and is a great performer / singer! He sings very well ❤
Agree. He has a beautiful voice❤
Much respect to you!!! 💜🌹❤️🔥They took advantage of two young men with trauma. Glad to see him thriving 💪🧬
There needs to be a Milli Vanilli Movie!!!
There has been a cinema film since December 2023.
God bless you Fab. You are a light in the world and always have been and so was Rob. When I was 12 years old, I went to a Milli Vanilli show and you actually pulled me up on stage. We danced the running man together. For my whole life, I will always cherish that memory. I have listened to your voice in recent videos and am grateful to you because you set an example of resilience. We are all put on this planet to be a light for others. The past cannot be denied or changed because it makes us who we are today, in this moment and we have to love ourselves to give love to the world.
Hard to believe he's almost 60 years old. This guy took very good care of himself and thankfully didnt drink or do heavy drugs. He looks like he's 40.
He actually has said he did all that stuff . All drugs you can name. Fortunately he stopped while Rob continued .
Was glued to the documentary I’m glad he pulled thru and came out having a good life I wish they both could’ve
Rob was like a brother to him. They were technically brothers. They both went through this journey and in honor of rob I am so glad that Fab decided to tell their story the right way
Love your comment 😀😀😀
Please forgive me Rob for not looking back till now, you’re an inspiration
Yes he is we’ll always miss you and we love you Rob 😭😭
I'm so happy I got to watch this documentary & have opportunity to hear their whole story. I was very young when they were in the height of their success. It shows how we all want to be loved & that we're not perfect. ❤ May Rob R.I.P. & their story & legacy live on.
OMG! Fab wow this interview brought me to tears! My heart totally broke just now. I’m so happy you’re still here to set it straight. Love being sent wish I could just hug you. (Rob R.I.P). Peace and love✌️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I remember Arsenio Hall always making jokes about them. Made me angry. I know they appeared on his show and that was very forgiving of them. Fab and Rob were just really nice guys trying to make it in music. RIP Rob 😞 I now follow Fab on TH-cam...very sweet guy. ❤
Yeah that’s the part I hated but God don’t like ugly bc look at arsenio. Lost his show
I was captivated listening to him share his story. I remember the letdown so many of us felt when we found out it was not their voices that we were hearing on this amazing music. But the beautiful thing about life is, if you live long enough, you might find out some things that make you have a better understanding. I hope and pray that Fab can continue to live his truth and be abundantly blessed for the rest of his life🙏🏾❤️💐
Listening to him sing at the end of the documentary. If they would have let him sing at the start he could have done it. He has a very nice voice.
Exactly
Word. He's a great singer with a fantastic voice.
i just learn about these guys from the new documentary, i thought they were just caught lip syncing, no idea they didnt sing for real but im 100% behind them, they got screwed over and ya they were young and i get it, everyone would do the same thing if given a chance but so much respect he would go on and learn to actually sing the songs for real and tbh i think he sounds even better then the original artist, i was so shocked to see him sing it for real on videos i saw on here :O also Fab you have aged so well and love the accent! to bad rob wasnt stil here :( RIP Rob! your never be forgotten!
I remember getting their tape and rewinding it constantly that I broke it and asked my dad I wanted their CD for my birthday
5:25 "Life is not a sprint, is a marathon" . Wise words!
He is gorgeous ❤😅
YES INDEED,& Rob was too!(RIP)
Thankyou 😊❤ Rob is still around you, he told me what happened... so sorry for your loss and his passing; his anxiety, alcohol and too much pressure... He is proud of you, says you are doing well and to keep going 😊❤ - message just came through... look after your health too. Im a lightworker and natural born Medium and Musician. I can comunicate with the otherside but am learning bc there is no rule book. I am also learning Reki, Mediumship and Quantum Healing, as my soul has guided me to do so. I'm glad you came out with a Documentary too, it's very good idea to clear everything up ❤🌈💐 wishing you all the best for the future years ahead, Clementine
Fab put that beautifully, not a human just a product…just like social media consistently promotes today
Man Rob’s story just breaks my heart. If only someone in the industry took him in
I kid you not, I watched the documentary about 4 or 5 days ago and I'm still emotional about it. I always felt bad for what they went through and especially that Rob died. After seeing the documentary, I honestly feel like I'm in mourning. When Rob performed, you could see the innocence and pure joy in his eyes. He was such a beautiful man. They both were and Fab is still fine as heck. The music industry, crooked Frank and mean spirited people literally killed Rob’s joy and broke his heart long before whatever happened in that hotel room on 4/3/98. I'm so happy Fab was able to turn his life around and is finally reaping some of the fruits of their labor.
@@rep4jc2009 so true. I felt the same way. The world can use us up in so many ways if we are not careful
I understand. I cant stop thinking about Rob. Clive Davis and Frank Farian and the others threw them out like they were yesterdays news. No compassion for a human life. @@rep4jc2009
I love this. Finally he can tell his story. Thank you for the hope this conveys to so many people who may need to hear it for whatever reason. Sending you hugs and love (if I had known then what I know now, I would have sent you [both] the same all those many years ago).
I'm still a fan only wish Rob was still here
I didn’t understand the big deal when it happened! I loved them then and I love them now. I refer to them as the Milli Vanilli Project. Great talents (all the talent) who were exploited.
You get it. I thought the same when I was younger.
These guys were ahead of their time! I would force the academy to give their awards back! They did a lot of great work by singing good songs! Even if they didn't actually sing them, they didn't represent gang life and they were very iconic and captured a moment in American culture! They transcended geographic boundaries and performed music that didn't glorify violence but emotions and the relationships and the entanglements that come with them! They had mass appeal that even broke racial boundaries! I never heard swearing in their songs! I really feel they should have an official apology and have their awards be given back to Fab and Rob should have his given back posthumously! They inspired a lot of people to sing and dance to those songs! And let's be honest here, a lot and I mean A LOT of artists use autotune! That's how I feel!
The presenter just loves the sound of her own voice and tried to spice up what really happened for dramatic effect. I was there when it happened so I don't need someone trying to take reality into fiction. Big thumbs down from me for the interview but I will watch the documentary.
what a great documentary, just watched it. I'm glad that Fab ended up in a happy life with kids and a partner..he seems like a very compassionate, genuine caring soul who lost a brother. I really feel sad about Rob, and it's awful that they were both put through that all for $$$. Taken advantage of as young kids, signing a contract without lawyers, and Farian taking advantage of them, as well as the producers, Clive Davis and Arista...such a shame..all for $$$$. I was a teen in the late 80;s and remember Milli Vanilla well, I still love their music and picture Rob & Fab dancing and singing. A lot of artists lip sync now and it's accepted. Also, Rob and Fab were singers/dancers before MV, and Fab has a beautiful voice...hope he continues with success and happiness in his life. That woman, Farian's gf, why was she smirking during her interviews...She was "trying to help Rob" before he OD'd...hmm, not too fan of her or Farian.
Yes, Farian's GF pissed me off. Rob lost his life because of her and Fab could have easily lost his too. Nothing funny about that. And why were they sleeping in bed together. These record moguls left Rob and Fab out there to face the press all alone and came out unscathed. It's heartbreaking.
Wow I feels sad for Rob .such a sad story. Thanks for sharing you story fab one love always and forever
Fab is doing fantastic! I love his voice doing the songs. To me he he is fully Milli Vanilli! He could have walked away. He redeemed himself and ran with it.
Great interview so sad Rob couldn’t make it
So good to see Fab. Much love and respect for him. He has a great voice there was no reason for them not to sing. Glad he came thru it with positive vibes and energy. Watched the documentary and thankful the truth is finally being told.Fab still looks good he is ageless.❤
Great interview Fab!
I was and always will be a fan of milli vanilli. Fab, the documentary was on another level. Heartwarming, truthful, sad and inspiring . It solidified why I always was and always will be a milli vanilli fan. Thank you for all you and Rob gave us. I hope one day I can shake your hand and say thank you in person. A phenomenal documentary . Thank you Fab.
Omg the interviewer doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Racism and accents? Puleeze… lol. It was a scandal yes, but most I knew were just surprised and thought it was funny. I was young then and I still love the song!
Good interview. One of yr best.
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.
The worldwide tv viewing public were not as savvy and hip to Hollywood marketing or it’s exploitation back in the day. I have to admit that I thought it was odd when I first heard them speak and their accents were so heavy but their singing voices weren’t but I was too busy dancing and loving their looks to take that seriously. Plus in an era where you actually had real gifted artistes singing, it was an insult to have these artistes losing Grammys over frauds. For eg. I remember when I heard Bobby and Whitney were getting married and wondered if WH was out of her mind because Bobby, whom I loved btw, was so wrong for her because Arista marketed her like an innocent angel, all little black girls wanted to be WH or Janet Jackson because they were so loved and seemed wholesome… Trust me the buying public were naive af back then but that’s just how it was. Most people didn’t understand it’s all smoke and mirrors and a way for certain people to profit off other’s, mainly black, looks and talent.
Im a Gen X biracial (black/irish), and I liked the songs. I thought it was was over blown. They didn't deserve what they got. Although as far as racism goes, most of black America taunted, and raked these guys to the coals as well. Let's keep it real! I remember that era very well.
I don't care what anyone says. I never stopped listening to their tape, yes tape.
My mini essay!😂:
The last car I had, a Ford escort, 99 (whom I affectionately called Golden Lady) had a tape player and I would play them on the way to work.
I bought a tape player radio for my house, partially nostalgia and partially I wanted to listen to them and Prince and the Rob Base tape I still have. 😬🥹😄
Hey Rob, I never stopped listening. 💕
Much respect to you for your resilience and falling up. I'm sorry about how rhe life of your friend ended and that so many though it was a joke instead of a person. 😢 I'm glad you now understand the journey you took to get to where you are.
This is crazy. I was going to college when the story broke but even back then I remembered thinking, what about the money man and the actual singers. Did the singers get paid and is the money man also taking a hit? Friends who know me have always teased me about this. 😂. I guess I mainly root for the underdogs and even if it wasn't right, I knew there were bigger players. They roasted the ones at the bottom as most always do.
Any who, you may never see this but be well where ever you are.
P S. I signed up for Paramount just to watch the doc so thanks for sharing your story.
Pardon all the typos😅😊
Its very sad bc with just a couple of " tweeks" it all could've been above board & every one could be happy...think Fab is an exceptional man & very inspiring!
So interesting I really love these guys❤❤❤
Some people were mean to them and should’ve apologized. It seems like the world is mean and then when the person is either dead or older then they wanna act like they felt bad for them. With all artists. Them, Britney Spears, Corey Haim, etc,.. it’s just sad how human beings can’t be kind and forgiving. They want them to take their lives. Just want to tell anyone: Forget what others think of you because most don’t care if you live or die. You are worth so much more than fans, fame, or approval
Love it Fab
I was a teenager & my friends loved & crushed on them. Being an empath I always felt bad energy around them , I know now it wasn't them with bad energy it was the music industry
Ich liebe Milli Vanilli
Ich liebe die Musik.
Und Robert und Fabrice
Es tut so unendlich leid das der Rob so hohen Preis bezahlen musste
Fabrice, du bist eine Lebenskraft für mich geworden ❤
I agree with another writer that said the Grammys should give Fab the Grammy Back !!! It won’t bring Rob back , but show some humanity Grammy people Please , Fab has been thru hell and back …. I look at the Grammy’s totally different now …. I will Boycott them ….until they acknowledge they were Wrong!!
Eu vi aqui só pra ouvir a entrevista sobre milli Vanilli mas não consigo entender eu sou falo um pouco de inglês devia ter uma legenda em português
Great documentary.
I would have been heartbroken had we learned that Bette Midler, Cyndi Lauper, Prince etc..weren't actually the ones singing. The thought of their being "of color" as a result of the scandal never entered my mind back then. Racism exists... but come on already, racism isn't ALWAYS to blame. ( I haven't watched the documentary... perhaps I'll learn otherwise.)
Making fun of their Accents 😳😲 👎🏾 Why? They are not born in the US. People can be so mean. They were young and made a mistake by not being truthful about the fact Fab and Rob were Lip synching. Not really singing the songs.
Bro said he pulled up to Rob at the Crack house. damn thats sad!
Lipsynce Challenge and other shows are not like Milli Vanilli. They chose to lip sync FOR MONEY and FAME! People had no idea that Milli Vanilli lied about singing. The whole premise of the show is to have people fake-sing a song.
Stfu. They were forced into it by a savvy producer when they were teens. Don't comment on what you don't know.
Always a fan of Milli Vanilli. Nothing's changed. Love you, Fab. I miss you, Rob. Some people are so cruel, not realizing how their words could hurt other people's feelings. I hate it when people make fun of my idols. Shame on those who until now have no feelings of remorse. MV did not deserve to be treated that way. FYI: Fab Morvan has a beautiful voice❤
please stop blaming it on racism lyndsey parker.I was a child of that era we just loved the music
Каква е тази?

“Life is not a sprint, it’s a marathon.” Well said.
~ Hebrews 12:1-3 12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.
Jlo uses other singers like Ashanti, at least Fab can sing and rap he just had a thick French accent at the time
did you seriously blame racism for the backslash?
Did she really make this about race?? Most of the comedians that were making fun of them on tv were black lol, wtf. If anything, Milli Vanilli broke boundaries as being two of the few black sex symbols in the 80s that had a huge white fanbase. Most of their fans were white females and they didn't care about the color of Rob and Fab's skin, because both of these men were beautiful and transcended color.
Ughh let's not make everything about race
