Here's one thing you have to realize. Even though they were naive kids at the time, they were humble, sweet, loving human beings, which, I think, is another reason why people liked them. Sure they were flawed and went through many ups and downs, but they put their souls into what they did. Especially since they were street singers, scraping to get by, with a genuine passion for music.
Even tho they didn't sing those hit songs, those songs became hits because of they're videos and the way they expressed they're emotions to the songs. They will always be remembered to me.
I still love Rob and Fab!!! Who cares if they didn't sing. Their moves and energy were amazing. If they did this today it wouldn't be no big deal. Robs blood is on your hands Frank Farian, you are a terrible person and will one day have to pay for the way you treated others. RIP Rob and much love to Fab.
Sure. They didn't "sing" the songs, but you know...they gave me a great childhood! I loved the songs, they were cool guys, and frankly (as long as the grammys went back) I don't see it any different than all the characters Will Smith or Jim Carey has played in so many movies lol. I will always love Fab And Rob. ..and lord knows 90% of all the people on here that slam them...WOULD JUMP IN A HEART BEAT at that fame and fortune if you were offered millions right now to join a Hollywood cast, show, or band right now and "fake" your part!!! ...and don't lie!!!!
Milli Vanilli was NEVER Fab and Rob, unless you consider lip-synching to someone else' vocals legitimate. It's sad that Rob's life ended so early, but Frank Farian screwed them all.
@@bradthompsonuk2011 Rob and Fab made MilliVinilli eventhough they were manipulated to lipsync; which theyy came clean on and skuz producer Frank did not. They were a double threat and MilliVanilli always💙💙
Come on man you didnt rob anyone and you deserved all your fame. Your voice or not you guys where the thing man. much love and thanx for all the memories with your songs
Young men used as pawns in a cruel cut throat business.... RIP Rob... I can see how anyone in their shoes would have done the same. Wouldn't you? If you were behind on your rent, starving, unemployed, and have no tangible prospects in your site? The industry uses, chews, and spits out whomever they want. To anyone who is pursuing the dream of fame and fortune, a sincere good luck... It's a tough road.
+Support AnimalRights lol The idea of getting the few $ back is ludicrous. I kept mine! And never stopped loving them in fact, loved them more because of their pain and naivete. Anyone with a working brain can see the truth in Fab's eyes. Anyone who does their homework (Boney M!) knows he's telling the truth!
Support AnimalRights Yes!! Since I first heard them! Never stopped caring or listening from the day I first heard them when they were new on the music scene. I searched and found fhe Greatest Hits cd in 2004 at a used and new cd store called FYI. I called every store that sold cd's and drove 45 minutes's there and back I wanted it sooo bad. Thank goodness for youtube and being able to see great stuff we love from the past and to connect socially with others who are like-minded! ♡♡♡ It's nice to meet you! I'm from New Orleans. ♡♡♡
Frankly, I could care less who sang the songs. It was an awesome show and great entertainment. They may have not sung the songs but they put on one hell of a show. Thanks for the awesome memories. Wouldn't have been the same with someone else's face attached to the music!!
I don't see anything fake about dancing in stage and lookin good doing it. Hollywood is Hollywood. People just blew it all out of proportion because they were jealous of their success
They were entertainers, and did the job well. It's a tragedy that one died. If they had used their own voices, i think the songs would have done as well, because they looked so good and so right for the times.
actors who use stunt doubles for the dangerous parts should be considered frauds also.Its not them doing the stunts but they want you to believe it.Who cares whether it was them singing or not,i enjoyed their videos and music.Anyone here would of done the same thing.Money fame and power will make many fall even those who pretend not to...
People tend to forget that they were entertained by these guys, how could they want their money back? did they not get what they paid to get? entertainment? i really liked the guys, regardless of who sung the tracks. the thing that gets me is that all the hubbub over this caused Rob to exit this life way too early.
It is sad alright,,I guess Rob knew it would never be forgotten and just couldn't deal with the humilation of it. Fab seems like he was able to move on past it but Rob was not able to.
Milli Vanilli was just too popular at the time and some people who had a more fairweather interest in their music felt they were sold a fraudulent bill of goods, especially with the group becoming figures of ridicule in the media.
I love those guys, that group,the songs, i cannot and will not extract them from the beautiful memories of the 80s when i and my friends just love them. RIP Rob, Best of luck and more Fab. You guys were part of my growing up.I still listen to ur songs whenever i want to, eh i am on youtube,right now,eh
LOOK NAME ONE PERSON WHO DOESN'T LISTEN TO THIS SONG NOW??????????? I DO.............WHETHER THEY WERE LIP-SICING OR NOT.........DANG GREAT SONG AND GORGEOUS LOOKING MEN PERFORMERS !!!!!!!!!!!!R.I.P. ROB!!!!!!!!
It was a shame what they did to them. It's crazy how hateful people enjoy being. Now with the internet, generation are growing up thinking hate is cool. Then they play it off as a joke, as if it were meaningless. To this day, I still listen to them. Always on my phone. I loved the music.
Wow thanks for sharing this 2011 interview with Fab. Love ❤his hairstyle here it looks good on him! Rob is forever missed 🕊, God Bless him. I always thought that he had so much more to show to the world with his talents.
Yes they knew from the start, but they also knew that they were living in extreme poverty in Berlin, and Farian was offering them a way out. Unless you've lived that life, you don't really know how desperate you'll become, and what you'll do to get out.
Rob & Fab also didn't really have a choice when they found out they were going to just lip-synch. They had signed a contract without lawyers, managers, or really reading it themselves, likely thinking they were going to sing, then they were given money which had to be paid back to the record company, so they pretty much became professional slaves.
I feel differently about this whole scandal now that I'm an adult and also knowing more details about their particular story and more about the entertainment industry in general.
This whole thing hurt me cuz we grew up with Milli Vanilli as is and I even made a tshirt in high school art which i scored an ace on the title. I love them both and I really wish Rob was still alive because now hearing them sing from their own voice they ARE better than before.....even without the dreadlocks. Will always love them both.
Its important that you dont forget what you contributed. Even if its not your voice you still contributed your dancing, your energy, your time. This story always saddens me. A life was lost, depression was prevalent in these young men. Drugs became a coping mechanism. They did the most honorable thing possible which was tell the truth. As a 42 year old I was a fan. So, I salute Fab and Rob. They wete still extremely talented
soo sad, as an infant I couldnt understand why soo many people didnt like them but now that I'm 28, I still love them...there music will always be the best in my heart, rest in peace Rob...
Ay en serio, nadie habría querido ver a unos tíos ahí cantando que a las justas se podían mover, Rob y Fab fueron en alma de la fiesta, la conexión perfecta, toda esa gente que se quejó, quejarse de qué, no bailaron acaso, no disfrutaron, no se enamoraron de ellos, pagaron lo que pagaron y creo que si recibieron lo que ese dinero valía, ellos eran perfectos, me vale una mierda si cantaban esas canciones, al final el resultado fue de que ellos si cantaban, Fab ahora sigue cantando y tiene una voz increíble, aparte de que sigue siendo hermoso, en serio no sé como hace, nunca en mi vida he visto hombres más hermosos que ellos.
So wish someone could have helped Rob out. The show-business thing is NOT WORTH dying over. Would have been better if he would have written a book, back then. Like so many stars it gives them a 'come-back' venue.
The funny thing is that they give Grammys out for this same stuff every year now. There are almost no singers who use their real voices winning Grammys all over the place. Its a really sad story..
If i had no money no way out i think everyone in there shoes would have done the same,thy even sold more than 20 million copies you can just sell that many albums without any mug standing in front of a mic!!!!, thy had the right image for the time good on them!!!!!
This still makes me sad! Poor Rob, God rest his sweet soul! God be with you Fab. Jesus loves you, so do I! The media fed on them like meat. How they were treated sickened me then. Sickens me still!
I would love to see them again , Rob make big mistakes, in his life but people make mistake do not stop pursuit your dream, Rob to legit " to quit, But Fab Morgan do great job,his still alive, I love you my friend,
its sad really..I feel bad for them, not exactly paedophiles, murders or gangsta's. Wrong decisions yeah, but they were young and mistake was not that bad. Show business, media, and fucking american lawyers ..what a combo.
Had nothing to do with American lawyers... this all occurred in Germany. Except for the Arsenio appearance. Even though FF was obviously a swindler, the German or newly forming EU legal system probably would have tied them up forever... and no one other than that shyster would have benefited. Who owned the record firm and where did the sales proceeds end up? What label distributed them outside of Germany? I think only this same fat-cat scooped up the big bucks there. I wonder how much he stashed in some little bank outside Zurich... his estimated worth is 40 million. I wonder how well-off all the people he tricked are doing? Apparently they never prosecuted him for anything... he must have a green card; he's living in Miami.
I agree espeically Rob's downfall and young death were extremely tragic. My theory has always been who gives a shit who sang on the record. Doesn't make it any less good and enjoyable. :)
I wish some day down the line that they hand the grammy awards back to milli vanilli. Despite the fact that it was manufactured there are more manufactured bands / singers / groups these days than there was back in those days and besides the voices they had the full package. However, they were an unbelievable sensational group that made a massive impact on alot of lives back in the day and that is why they should be rewarded for what they did. It wasn't just the music, it was THEM!
The point is why NO ONE protected them? why were they humiliated? Why, having talent, didn't we give them their chance? Milli Vanilli will always be Rob and Fab. They will remain in history as precursors and talented artists. Success was what they transmitted with their attitude, their dance and their show. But society failed them, and Rob got lost along the way. #PeaceOneLove #ThanksFab #MissuRob
Just like any other artist they wanted to make it big. I could care less if they sung or not, I enjoyed the music and I definitely enjoyed looking at them. RIP Rob.
These guys were young, and got bullied by higher ups in the industry. If anything, they were the ones who got ripped off. Their lives were destroyed ( hopefully Fab will succeed) while those who used them just moved on.
I'm so sad over this to this day. PEOPLE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE AND THEY DON'T REALIZE HOW THEY CAN DAMAGE A HUMAN SPIRIT. MilliVanilli was really too good to be true. I remember how cool they were. And I remember the concert that brought them down. I was devastated! But since then we all have to realize that what's on the stage is half real at any concert. No one can actually dance and sing without help once in a while. God Bless.
I feel sorry for fab and Rob everything they had is gone money, fame, granny awards, and American Music awards if frank farian would just let rob and fab used their own voices on the records but he didn't wanna do that he wanted them to lipsync he just wanted to use them and i don't know why and when they are they gonna start making the movie of the rise and fall of milli vanilli and fab Morvan is gonna tell his side of the story that's great that's really great.
Although for some strange reasons I did not fancy Milli Vanilli, in fact I never did purchased any of their stuff at the time because I thought something was quite odd about them.Then after the story broke about their Lipsyncing and the scandal that followed the subsequent return of the Grammy I started feeling sorry for them the way the whole affair unfolded. At the end of the day I can clearly state that it really wasn't their fault. And after so many years...I started loving 'Their' songs.
These days if you lip sync or auto tune, no one cares. These guys were the stuff back in the day. Frank Farian is the one who caused the scam. The boys were just pawns in his game.
The sad thing is that their own voices weren't that bad and with a bit of training they could have done well on their own with these songs! I think they got more crap than they deserved and the Manager didn't get enough of the blame!
These poor guys were puppets from the get go. Who wouldn't jump on the opportunity they had when your young and stupid. Unfortunately, they were lift holding the bag:( I remember being upset at them when we found out- now I feel sorry no one stood up for them. Well spoken Fab, you look better then ever.
I loveeeeeeeeeeee Milli Vanilli and i don't care they were faking, they got the look that is why they got there.... their amazing looking was what got them to be victims on the artistic world... this guys were used, it is so sad, despite everything this Milli Vanilli are still into my heart i love them a lot, and Rob baby i miss you and i love you a lot!
How can anyone think they would get away with such a deception? i mean there are too many people involved....you have the real voices....the real people singing, the recording engineers, producers, etc. you will never get away with it!
I think nobody expected Milli Vanilli to become an international music phenomenon. All it started was for a cover single of "Girl You Know It's True" to sell and make money. There were acts like Milli Vanilli in Europe for years, Boney M. being the biggest, but only one guy in the group was a fake and lip-synching to the producer and the group was never successful in America, but because they did dance music, they never attained any real international success or celebrity, particularly in America. What made the Milli Vanilli thing such a big deal was how big they got, especially after having won a Grammy. Milli Vanilli were one of the biggest acts in music in 1989 and Rob & Fab became celebrities.
People dont need to be hating. They were scammed into signing a recording contract but was not given the real details behind it, it was then too late after they signed they could not get out of the contract.
I couldn't agree more. ok so the boys knew it was wrong but Mr. Farian pushed all their buttons, exploited them and walked away wiping his hands. Makes me sick to this day. Recently I've been in touch with Fab and shared his story with my kids. I'm so proud of him for rising above.
We'll never really know how far it goes. How many performances were done by someone else because a the guy in the band didn't show, couldn't actually play, or was stoned out of his mind? Heck, it wasn't until much later we found out Boston was actually just Tom Scholz and Brad Delp.
They may not have sung the songs but hell they can dance and bring energy to the stage and that's something that's real and couldn't be faked anyway
Daniel rogers exactly what I was thinking!
The producers should be in jail.
True indeed. But I find it hilarious that people believe the industry is honest.
It's larger then life, like the movies.
Aku setuju denganmu,,

Those two guys were crucified over that one. I saw them sing live on Arsenio Hall and they did very well.
Um they wouldn't have been singing, just miming
@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship no this was a bit after the story broke...they recorded their own song and performed it on arsenio
This guy is beautiful In and out and very smart too. He has picked himself up and looks great.

Milli Vanilli⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ gracias por todo lo que nos regalaron década de los 90 nunca la olvidaremos jamás 🇲🇽❤️💯
I think the media made more of a fuss out of it more than the fans really cared.
+TheFever77 yeah because fans are stupid.
Support AnimalRights or was it 8$?
+TheFever77
I didn't care. The music and music videos were/are great regardless.
+Support AnimalRights lol The idea of getting the few $ back is ludicrous. I kept mine! And never stopped loving them in fact, loved them more because of their pain and naivete.

kiplenhowser auto tune is totally different. It' still that person singing.
+Fueler 99% of today's so called artist
boondockpaint I agree
I still love rob and fab!
Me too
So sad....Fab keep your head up!
I don't care I am always going to remember Rob and Fab singing these songs whenever i hear them, good times back then for music good times :)
He is still gorgeous
Doesn't matter what happened
They're perfect 👌🏼💖
gosh he prettier now
he sure is..
Tyesha Brown u are too
They were entertainers, and did the job well. It's a tragedy that one died. If they had used their own voices, i think the songs would have done as well, because they looked so good and so right for the times.

Vincenzo Perillo mmm...I do not think it is the same, even though I feel bad these guys.
Really people need to look at the producers its their corrupt idea, don't blame the models for the adverts
Yep, agree...such hypocrisy in the entertainment industry.
he does not age still looks the same today. hope my genes are that good. awesome group.
Wow good for him to speak out especially after everything that they went through.
People tend to forget that they were entertained by these guys, how could they want their money back? did they not get what they paid to get? entertainment? i really liked the guys, regardless of who sung the tracks. the thing that gets me is that all the hubbub over this caused Rob to exit this life way too early.
Same as the Spice girls,
It is sad alright,,I guess Rob knew it would never be forgotten and just couldn't deal with the humilation of it. Fab seems like he was able to move on past it but Rob was not able to.
very sad
Milli Vanilli was just too popular at the time and some people who had a more fairweather interest in their music felt they were sold a fraudulent bill of goods, especially with the group becoming figures of ridicule in the media.
Ohhh my god ,yes its so sad i wish they had come to Holland sooner than Rob was stil alive r.i.p Rob♥we miss you.
I love those guys, that group,the songs, i cannot and will not extract them from the beautiful memories of the 80s when i and my friends just love them. RIP Rob, Best of luck and more Fab.

Wow thanks for sharing this 2011 interview with Fab. Love ❤his hairstyle here it looks good on him! Rob is forever missed 🕊, God Bless him. I always thought that he had so much more to show to the world with his talents.
MILLI VANILLI POR SIEMPRE SERAN ORIGINALES SU PRESENCIA NOS DEJO GRATOS RECUERDOS Y SU INTERPRETACION MIMICA EDPECTACULAR. LOS LLEVO
EN MI CORAZON.
Wow! I never knew the whole story till now. Sad for Rob. :( Admire Fab and his courage. He looks great and he sounds great too.
Yes they knew from the start, but they also knew that they were living in extreme poverty in Berlin, and Farian was offering them a way out. Unless you've lived that life, you don't really know how desperate you'll become, and what you'll do to get out.

DallasHammster absolutely. Thank you.
Ya right, they were out partying having a great time, they didn't feel bad about what they were doing, tell they got caught.
I feel differently about this whole scandal now that I'm an adult and also knowing more details about their particular story and more about the entertainment industry in general.
@@dewdan27 they tried to back out but we're forced to continue on because they couldn't afford to pay back the advance they received.
He's aged very well, unlike most cocked out music stars.
We still love them. I still you Fabrice.
exactly like you, only that I liked them from the beginning and still now
This whole thing hurt me cuz we grew up with Milli Vanilli as is and I even made a tshirt in high school art which i scored an ace on the title. I love them both and I really wish Rob was still alive because now hearing them sing from their own voice they ARE better than before.....even without the dreadlocks. Will always love them both.

So, I salute Fab and Rob. They wete still extremely talented
They were face of Milli Vanilli...even if they didn't sing MV shouldn't have the sucess they had without them
soo sad, as an infant I couldnt understand why soo many people didnt like them but now that I'm 28, I still love them...there music will always be the best in my heart, rest in peace Rob...

How is it that Fab doesn't age? He looks 17! Also... he's such a gentle soul. I hope Frank aged horribly.
So wish someone could have helped Rob out. The show-business thing is NOT WORTH dying over. Would have been better if he would have written a book, back then. Like so many stars it gives them a 'come-back' venue.
As músicas desse grupo não deixou de ser bonita por isso🙏🌸
The funny thing is that they give Grammys out for this same stuff every year now. There are almost no singers who use their real voices winning Grammys all over the place.
Its a really sad story..
is it me or does fab actually looks younger ??!
If i had no money no way out i think everyone in there shoes would have done the same,thy even sold more than 20 million copies you can just sell that many albums without any mug standing in front of a mic!!!!, thy had the right image for the time good on them!!!!!
ohhh they most certainly did have the right image especially for a teenage girl lol!
Make sure to look up Fab Morgan live, he's actually a really good singer
It doesn't matter who was sing the songs people still loved when they we up there dancing and performing anyways...
fab estás muy simpático deberías ir por el mundo contando tu historia saludos de colombia
This still makes me sad! Poor Rob, God rest his sweet soul! God be with you Fab. Jesus loves you, so do I! The media fed on them like meat. How they were treated sickened me then. Sickens me still!
I would love to see them again , Rob make big mistakes, in his life but people make mistake do not stop pursuit your dream, Rob to legit " to quit, But Fab Morgan do great job,his still alive, I love you my friend,
its sad really..I feel bad for them, not exactly paedophiles, murders or gangsta's. Wrong decisions yeah, but they were young and mistake was not that bad.

You know why.

Growing up a lot of girls had a crush on Rob, I had a huge crush on Fab
to me they are still the originals.
the music was greatttt. that's all that should matter
Just like any other artist they wanted to make it big. I could care less if they sung or not, I enjoyed the music and I definitely enjoyed looking at them. RIP Rob.
These guys were young, and got bullied by higher ups in the industry. If anything, they were the ones who got ripped off. Their lives were destroyed ( hopefully Fab will succeed) while those who used them just moved on.
FAB AND M ROBS ARE THE ONLY ONE THE BEST LOS UNICOS Y MEJORES MILLI VANILLI
Besides the hair, Fab looks the same like in the 80's! Wow! However, regardless the painful truth, there is no MV without Fab and Rob:(
Arte a Check out an interview he did recently. He looks the same AND with his classic long hair.
Maybe they should blame it on the rain.
Just discovering these guys in 2014...
This will make a good movie .
Ageing very well!
It wasn't their fault but thats the music business of Today, Yesterday and Tomorrow
I've been waiting since 1998 for that movie that's never coming out...
I know,he look so young still
i understand him
yes please
Cannot believe that the commentar said that they were drive by fame..when Fab was explaining abt them getting scammed
Me gustaría la traducción de la entrevista de fab en español gracias
Wow he looks goood!!

No one can actually dance and sing without help once in a while. God Bless.
Amen! Well-said!!!
IM WONDERING IF WE ARE ABLE TO OVERCOME THE FEELING OF GUILTINESS
I feel sorry for fab and Rob everything they had is gone money, fame, granny awards, and American Music awards if frank farian would just let rob and fab used their own voices on the records but he didn't wanna do that he wanted them to lipsync he just wanted to use them and i don't know why and when they are they gonna start making the movie of the rise and fall of milli vanilli and fab Morvan is gonna tell his side of the story that's great that's really great.
Although for some strange reasons I did not fancy Milli Vanilli, in fact I never did purchased any of their stuff at the time because I thought something was quite odd about them.Then after the story broke about their Lipsyncing and the scandal that followed the subsequent return of the Grammy I started feeling sorry for them the way the whole affair unfolded. At the end of the day I can clearly state that it really wasn't their fault. And after so many years...I started loving 'Their' songs.
These days if you lip sync or auto tune, no one cares. These guys were the stuff back in the day. Frank Farian is the one who caused the scam. The boys were just pawns in his game.
They re still the real milli vanili
More than 6 times platinum worldwide! :)
Oh Rob!!!! I'm so excited to hear from you!!!!! How've you been???
The sad thing is that their own voices weren't that bad and with a bit of training they could have done well on their own with these songs! I think they got more crap than they deserved and the Manager didn't get enough of the blame!
Era un equipo unos ponian la vos otros la cara a quien le i mporta todos lo disfrutamos
These poor guys were puppets from the get go. Who wouldn't jump on the opportunity they had when your young and stupid. Unfortunately, they were lift holding the bag:( I remember being upset at them when we found out- now I feel sorry no one stood up for them. Well spoken Fab, you look better then ever.
I loveeeeeeeeeeee Milli Vanilli and i don't care they were faking, they got the look that is why they got there.... their amazing looking was what got them to be victims on the artistic world... this guys were used, it is so sad, despite everything this Milli Vanilli are still into my heart i love them a lot, and Rob baby i miss you and i love you a lot!
I just think it's sad that Farian basically skated and they got thrown under the bus. The way that whole thing was handled was so wrong …
How can anyone think they would get away with such a deception? i mean there are too many people involved....you have the real voices....the real people singing, the recording engineers, producers, etc. you will never get away with it!
I think nobody expected Milli Vanilli to become an international music phenomenon. All it started was for a cover single of "Girl You Know It's True" to sell and make money. There were acts like Milli Vanilli in Europe for years, Boney M. being the biggest, but only one guy in the group was a fake and lip-synching to the producer and the group was never successful in America, but because they did dance music, they never attained any real international success or celebrity, particularly in America. What made the Milli Vanilli thing such a big deal was how big they got, especially after having won a Grammy. Milli Vanilli were one of the biggest acts in music in 1989 and Rob & Fab became celebrities.
People dont need to be hating. They were scammed into signing a recording contract but was not given the real details behind it, it was then too late after they signed they could not get out of the contract.
I couldn't agree more. ok so the boys knew it was wrong but Mr. Farian pushed all their buttons, exploited them and walked away wiping his hands. Makes me sick to this day. Recently I've been in touch with Fab and shared his story with my kids. I'm so proud of him for rising above.
Why hasn’t the Milli Vanilli movie come out yet?? I want to see it!
Foi uma das melhores mentiras da música mundial ...Poderia ter juntado todos num pote só e até hoje.
We'll never really know how far it goes. How many performances were done by someone else because a the guy in the band didn't show, couldn't actually play, or was stoned out of his mind? Heck, it wasn't until much later we found out Boston was actually just Tom Scholz and Brad Delp.
Full support from Push It Records, we love Fab !
