Everybody makes mistakes. They didnt kill anyone. We even enjoyed their music, their style, their swagger so lay off.
They where background dancers what are you talking about? Today we call these people scammers!
Not everyone makes big mistakes. These guys made a pretty big one. They don't deserve hate but they can never be taken seriously as artists/musicians. As a person Mr. Morvan seems like a good guy. That's probably what we should focus on.
@@blindthief Aim only focusing on his Arrogance and the pointing finger at the beginnings of this interview. The world hase changed? He was the one who said YES to the deal and therefore he and his ex boyfriend contributed to this scam. The world dint changed, its them who changed it. 👎 Shame on them! 🤢🤮 They made a packt with the Devil and sold their souls! What a great example you are for our children today 👎👎👎👎No hatred here just facts!
@@ChemistryAmsterdam No hatred? Do you need to read your paragraph again? Considering his best friend as his "ex boyfriend" is pretty disrespectful....and if you knew, he said in other interviews they signed it asap because they were poor...so they took the opportunity
@@blindthief I guess you haven't heard the album they recorded with their original voices in 1992. You would change your mind pretty quickly! Fab has a beautiful voice and sings very well !! Don't say that he can't be taken seriously as a singer without knowing it !! Aff
He still looks good, looks the same. I think it's unfair how they were demonized and thrown under the bus.
Black don't crack.
@itchydiscoman Lipsyncing is all they did with European dance music. Why demonize them?
ESPECIALLY NOW, as they all lip sync!
itchydiscoman they knew but wen they signed they didn’t know wen you signed u are stuck in it
itchydiscoman Ever hear this man sing? He didn’t even need to lip sync!!!! What a damn shame to go through all that hate for NOTHING!
is this guy a vampire? hasn't aged
Black dont crack
I think he even looks better now that back in the late 80's.
Mr. Grenade™ No he's black, melanin is the key.
“ boy you know it’s true”
Black don't crack.
I don't give a damn they were lip syncing. I enjoyed the music of Milli Vanilli! Their music was part of my life growing up in the 90s'. Their music was part of my life's soundtrack. They had their own style, clothing, boots, and dancing. Lol! So sorry that Rob died due to suicide. One of my favorite song is........."Girl you know it's true". May God bless you Fab. Milli Vanilli lives on in my memories.
Well Said!
EXACTLY how most of us felt and still feel to this day!
My heart aches when I think about what they went through!! Robs suicide a loss of such a beautiful life. Fab, that's a strong man, he had to overcome so many obstacles including such a huge loss with Robs passing 😢 The thing is..most of us kids in the 80s..still blasted this song on the radio or tape cassettes etc. either way..We just loved and will always love Milli Vanilli or simply Rob and Fab....God Bless.
@@nanarmushyan2351 It wasn't a suicide ,but an accidental drug overdose
Couldn't have said it better, Keith. With all the auto tune and doctoring up voices that's going on these days it might as well be lip syncing.
Fab can actually sing and he sounds better than the person he was lip syncing too
Keith Brown Fab can actually sing very well. The producer just didn't have faith in them. The producer wanted to continue to make more records with session singer. Check out this link. Fab sounds really good. th-cam.com/video/ogX8s2HsO2A/w-d-xo.html
I saw the interview and realized how many people judged them and blamed them for everything. Their story should be made in a movie. Milli Vanilli will always remain part of my life and the best years ever!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes...for 🎥. A heartfelt interview.
They are making a biopic actually
Should truly be made into a movie
Well, there is a German film now, called Girl You Know It's True. I was sceptical going in, I was afraid it would be exploitative... But it wasn't, it was really an ode to their friendship and music, and the way to honour Rob. In the end it was really, really sad, but ended on a positive note still.
Damn Fab is even more gorgeous now than he was then.... Then to hear him have so much love for Rob and not throw anyone under the bus. Handsome and has a great spirit
Where is the fountain of youth Fab?
In Amsterdam. Her name is Tessa.
MV was Victims of the greed of music industry.... the real culprits got away....
They can't escape karma no matter what.
They always do.
I agree, it was the manager and more importantly the band who should have been crucified
I never cared about the lip singing stuff. Love the music. Girl I am going to miss you. Love that song 😍🙌
“I have to give Fab a lot of credit for enduring the unfair injustices that he faced but he totally reinventing himself and kept going- Great Job Fab” 💯😎
Me to,He deserve the best in life after what he went through.😊😊
Wait. He looks better now than he did 30 years ago!!
That's what I thought too
He never ages lol. He only gets younger
They stopped using horrible 80s makeup on him. The foundation they used on him was far too dark and they over highlighted Rob’s under eye too much also.
Black don't do the crack.
these songs are still amazing in 2021 and Fab is an amazing singer!
Absolutely, drugs, stress, lies, falsehood and bullying have destroyed humanity!
He doesn’t age, he’s still gorgeous ❤️
Yesssssss 😍😍😍😍😍
Yes, he IS!!! 🔥
yes he is resl Chad
He sure is, so glad he is on Facebook keeping fans updated, luv him
Absolutely!❤
That is a BEAUTIFUL man, damn
Damn, I need his beauty regimen! 😍
He look good...Black dont crack
tell that to pookie
Black don’t crack! Italians get better with age like wine. Italy and Africa only have a sea between them.
@@kanewhare-paikea7316 pookie only exists when he is sabotaged by lying colonizers who can only be successful when everyone else is being brutalized.
He's had help. 😂 Her name is Tessa.
Rob&Fab are Milli Vanilli, always❤️
But I really do hope they make that movie about them🙏🏻
Three decades later I'm dancing in my living room with my granddaughters to Girl you know it's true, thank you for that.
I feel so bad for rob .......his LIfe was worth more then a music group but it goes to show u how two people handle things so different...rest in peace rob...
Fab and Rob were two young men who were taken advantage of. They were fed up with being frauds and hated it more than everyone and we the audience were unfair to them without knowing the full story. I feel bad for Rob and his loved ones, and deeply saddened his demons took him from this world. I’m glad that Fab is back and showed how great and talented he really is. Fab and. Rob were victims of terrible management who didn’t take care of them and nurture their true talents.
Yes exactly you're absolutely right
So eloquently expressed and articulated with compassion, tenderness and humanness.
I couldn’t agree with you more.
In kindness-
🙏🙏🙏
@@monacan9 💔.....💝
Well said.💯
Nah they knew what they were getting into. Nobody pointed a gun at their heads. It's time we bring personal responsibility back, it's not cool to be a victim.
I hope they do a biopic of these two. Such a sad story but very glad Fab is doing well.
Omg yes
They are! :)
It's called Girl You Know It's True, a German film, a good one actually.
Beautiful guy. Inside and out.
Dude is STILL fine as hell!!!
He sure the hell is.😊
why capslock? as if it's impossible to look good in your 50s.
This guy is all heart glad he's doing better now he deserves it 👍👍👍👍👍
A gentleman and a scholar. These are all great points, I feel this would've been treated differently today. I feel bad for both of them, especially Rob...like it makes me sad that the media and the world basically sent him down the path that was his end, and today...today public opinion and other things would've most likely accepted them more. This world is cruel, I wish the best for Fab and I'm glad to see him doing well, a true gentleman, I salute him.
I still think they are great... he seems a lovely man... and very handsome. They were definitely thrown to the wolves.
Fab ages backward that's amazing
My question is, how come J-lo did the same thing as Milli Vanilli but didn't get as much hate as them? At least they actually can sing.
No shade to Jennifer Lopez but I just find it weird that she didn't get hate.
It has turned out that Jennifer Lopez is not actually the one singing on her albums?
Jazzmoji ! Because of the generation. So simple
Well we were slowly aclimated to the "mixing of culture", "mashing", with Rappers doing sampling for exemple. But at the time originality was everything.
Because her producer didnt snitch on her telling publicly she is a fake
I'm so sorry that that ever happened to you two guys. I love you growing up and I still think of you two today
This dude is a legend. One of the most inspiring stories to come out of the rotten music industry, and he sounds AMAZING as a performer nowadays. He sounds better than the studio fakes that Frank Farian used on the original tracks.
He's a fraudster !
that's a bunch of BS. He sounds ok, but definitely not as good as the vocals on the record. I appreciate him getting back, but let's not just BS for the sake of it, eh.
@@asktomnedhe sounds better actually, i like his version better than the actual recording
Oh come on. Why insult studio performers, what did they ever do to you? Brad (voice for Rob) was/is an AMAZING talent. Fab is great but he definitely doesn't have a better voice than Brad. No need to insult others to praise Fab.
@@adralia23 Just because you like it better, doesn't mean he objectively sounds better. That's a matter of taste, really. Anyway, even if you think Fab sounds better, it's still not an exuse to insult studio performers who ALSO were taken advantage of.
This dude actually has a great singing voice.
Yes he does. I like his voice better than the original singers.
You look and sound great!!! So very proud of you.
Amazing how what was once viewed as deception is now accepted. He was spot on when he mentioned Autotune in today's "Musicians". Everything from the vocals to the notes from the instruments can be enhanced digitally.
it's not accepted to not sing at all on your records and pass them as your own. Autotune is not a good example
@@birilol in this case the producer is to blame. He should have credited the other singers, and let it clear Fab and Rob were just performers.
true look at kylie & madonna !
JLO anyone?? Im real song is mostly another singer with Jlos tracks quietly in the background..
@@birilolyes it is. Look at Jennifer Lopez.
Well said Fab!!!!! Great positivity in life you taught me a great lesson in life- Life is full of surprises- when you stumble get up and pick up the pieces. You’re an inspiration to all!!! Love you from your fan in Chicago 😍😍😍
It's not always possible. You can't just ''get up'' from addiction or clinical depression or any other mental/physical ailment. They didn't just stumble, they were crushed and spat out and humiliated and thrown to the wolves. It took Fab many years to ''get up''. Rob sadly couldn't make it due to a horrible illness which is addiction and probably mental affliction as well.
Amazing interview. Fab Morvan is an amazing person. Respect for him!
People have been lip singing for a long time even before Milli Vanill. Many artists are doing it today also. Milli Vanilli was just used as scapegoats for some crazy reason👺
No ppl like sync to their own voice to ensure no mistakes are made. No other artists use another person's voice to sing their music while they dance around in videos
@@alek412 do your research are you sure MV the only one lipsynching to someone else voice, just use the search function in yt 'singers who didn't sing their own songs or stolen vocals'... don't expect the media will tell you everything
He has a perfect face
He really does 😍 ageless and handsome
I fell in love with those eyes 😍😍😍😍
Yes, he really does. Those two were a feast for the eyes. We'll never see anything like them again.
Fab Morvan always had one of the most STUNNING faces on the planet. His cheekbones, his entire bone structure were destined to keep him well preserved for decades. He looks better healthier and even more handsome than in the 80s. This is what having beautiful black skin does folks! He’ll look as good into his 90s! I’m so glad and grateful he survived this manipulation by the record industry. You can tell he’s a beautiful soul inside out too. His calming spirit shines through. And…he CAN SING!!
It's not a secret than Black people and Asians in general age better but damn it, you don't have to be so arrogant about it. Not cool.
Damn. .he is fine...💞💞💞 he is just a blessed human being...
That is still a BEAUTIFUL man!!! Lawdddddd
I think Fab is an awesome person of character, the world and Society will always try to be negative and drag you down but he has the fortitude to proceed on to bigger and better things. I have nothing but pure respect for this man and from all this he still flourishes to be positive. Lip syncing or not these two guys were cool and they knew how to sell it. Rest in peace Rob, I wish you were still here.
Fab is doing concerts now and he sounds great. He could sing back then but the producer wanted to go with studio session singers. This is a live clip of a concert. Girl You Know It's true. Check it out. th-cam.com/video/ogX8s2HsO2A/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely!
J-Lo's first three albums weren't even her singing...completely different artists.
It wasnt a big deal they could have transitioned into singing themselves without the scandal. It was the music, the lyrics and ESPECIALLY their charisma that did it ....the voice was not so relevant. A sad story by a heartless world.
Am i the only one who really dont care if they were lypsincing? 😪❤️
I came across a video of Fab singing Girl You Know it’s True live at a music festival recently. It brought me to tears that if given the chance they could really sing and how Rob’s death was so unnecessary.
It's strange how music has the ability to effect you even if it's not necessarily your bag. Me, I love New Order, Stone Roses, Soulwax, Snapped Ankles and The Fall among others yet I always had a soft spot for MV even before it all went south for them. Also, how has this guy not aged in 30 years?
Rob Pilatus 😔🙏
I remember my mom loved their music.... And his right nowadays most artists are lip syncing and auto, tuning and it's no big deal. Plus I think the music these days is bad quality.
The sad part of this story Fab can actually sing very well. I'm sure Rob had a decent voice too. The producer just didn't believe in them and wanted to use a studio session singers. Check out this live clip from a concert of Fab. He sounds very good.th-cam.com/video/ogX8s2HsO2A/w-d-xo.html
@Frank Franklin 👍
@itchydiscoman Did you see the link I posted of Fab? Check it out. It was recorded last year. Let me know what you think. I didn't see them on Arsenio Hall.
@itchydiscoman Oh well. You have a right to your opinion. I think he did a pretty good. I still feel the industry was too hard on them. Nobody cared about Paula Abdul's vocals. She was nasally and pitchy. Women in the industry get a pass while the pretty boys don't at least then. He sounds better than Paula Abdul in the video for sure. You have your opinion I have mine. That's what makes the world go round.
I said nothing about song writing. It's ridiculous that you mentioned song writing when I was talking about her singing. She is nasally and pitchy. I'm done.
Great interview you are a very strong human that fights to show the people the person you are and how you can re-bounce.
This guy really can sing! It's f*cking sad the original producer don't let them sing!
Still gorgeous after 30 years!!
53..where??..He is gorgeous!!!
He still looks so young!
Many of us didn't abandon you.i am one of them.love you then and now.really sad rob is not here ❤❤❤❤❤
Fab is so positive and strong. Wish Rob was the same . RIP. Fab you will live and live
Fab looks good for his age very handsome good-looking. May God bless you always and good wishes.
They have huge fans here in Chile, we still remember them with affection. I personally don't mind if they did play back or not, the songs were a part of our lives. I'm very glad to see Morgan well, facing the media with his head up.
What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger? You are stronger because of what you went through. It is a real real shame that Rob is not here today!! If only he could have found the strength to prove people wrong and had the strength to fight his addictions. Discusting how the two guys were thrown under the bus.
Such and friendly guy.....and OMG he’s soooo good looking.
they're voices was good enough to pull off those type of records. I never really understood why they needed to use tha guy they used to sing. Fab Morvan had a decent voice to sing those songs
They lip sync back then but Fab is now singing his songs for real . Yes they deserved this second chance. Not bad of singer. Yes I would love to see him in concert someday. I was a Kid when Milli Vanilli came out.
You look amazing, ageless. What was done was very sad. We already knew you both could sing. But media and the industry of music is hard. So sorry for your loss. I still enjoy your music ❤
I still. Love you guys..
Like dude...you and Rob were the fire and fine'd in those days. Ya'll could've sung Mickey Mouse song, and we still would've loved both of you, especially being good eye candy.
That what I'm saying.😊
And then along came Britney Spears... & the rest!
still love the songs in spite of the drama! N he looks great!
@Frank Lopez yasss! looks better than me n I'm in my thirties!
Wish they can make a movie about them...lots of lesson to.learn from this man...good job fab
That's what I keep saying to my fellow Africans. Culture is what you make of it & anyone can change it at anytime. What was perceived as a crime back then is a norm today. It took just one person to change that perspective. I'd say they just had BAD TIMING. I was quite young when this went down, but I've been weaned on their legend. Loads of love Fab; RIP Rob.
I till love your music, I don't care about the lip singing...
I grew up your music in the 80s and i enjoy it❤️
Hands up if you think they should be given their Grammy back!
Yes, hand's up👋💪! As fans we can be "in the game" too and help him❤️. Please sign and share if you feel like😊!

🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽!!!!!
i don’t care. I enjoy their dancing, music, their style. That’s all
Hes an amazing strong man! We all want the best for u man stay strong!
He is right!!!!! So many "artists" lip sync and use all these voice altering technologies. But it was bad that they did it???? They were amazing entertainment! The dancing the showmanship it was great! It wasnt them singing whatever!
Fab looks fabulous as he did 30 years ago, he hasn’t aged one bit. They lip synced but it’s 30 years and unfortunately Rob even lost his life as a result of the humiliation. Isn’t it time for us to move on from that old rubbish! I don’t care if they lip synced their music brings back beautiful fond memories and they both looked damn good!
Power to you man. Stay positive and moving forward that what life is about.
Love this man, Rob we miss u and wish we could have told u you did nothing horribly wrong 😔.
He is still so handsome!
Even when I found out about it lip syncing I still loved milli vanilli as if nothing happened
I Like it Fab's interview
It absolutely was a different era back in their prime and most people only know half of what was going in the industry in order for producers to get their desired product out there. These guys were simply put under the bus. There's no other way it would have happened without management being behind it all
Fab you are sooo fine you have aged like a glass of fine wine I love your calmness
It's a tragedy for me
To see the dream is over
And I never will forget the day we met
ROB I'm gonna miss you
R.I.P. brother✌
No matter what ,they performed perfectly on the scene! 👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️
Fountain of youth for sure !! 😍 nice to see him after all these years !! Will always love Milli Vanilli.
I laughed at these guys back then, not knowing the whole story. I think Fab had learned a lot at the time of this interview and has gained much wisdom from the experience.
Much respect to for this man.
Loved them and still do.
Me too, and I'll never stop loving them, they're not the only lip-synchers from back then and even before. Plastic Bertrand didn't sing his own songs either and I still love him. Now he also sings his own songs with his own voice.
Robert was a good sensitive gentleman. he was too good for this life! God bless you both! Thank you Fab for the great advice about life! So true! LOVE LOVE LOVE the video on Girl I"m Gonna Miss You & love you both! Peace, Love & Faith.
all of us have a story no one is perfect
I heard that! They were thoroughly entertaining, Best dressed. Fab is deep, so much insight and still looks good. I wish the best blessings for him. Still sorry about Rob
I still love the duo Milli Vanilli. They're legends to me. The hit song, Girl, I'm gonna miss you will remain dear to me. Well done.
Piękni i młodzi tyle energii w tańcu po prostu wspaniali 💕
These beauties no longer exist today and this era is over! Never come back! Humanity is consumed!
Now, everyone in the music industry is doing this... I love their music and still enjoy it.
I loved Milli Vanilli. Such a sad story. They were actors playing singers. It was set up that way. The industry loves you until they don’t.
You could tell Rob was troubled in his eyes. People who struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts it always shows in their eyes.
It's trauma, look at Britney Spears. I think she suffers from trauma, all the traumatic events. People are like a bunch of piranhas. Taking little chunks out of your soul. I call them soul vampires.
Fab now sings better than frank. Re-release in your own voice"Girl you know it's true"
Utah Saints, Peter Andre and N-Trance re-released. I think you'll make it to the charts!
I loved all your music, Specially " Girl you know is true" and many other songs. I think it was so unfair that people just left you hanging. Regardless of the lip singing, I think both of you have a lot of talent and good spirit. I am sure Robert did too and it was very unfortunate that he had to died at a young age. Way to go Fab, thumbs up for being such a strong character and being able to move on in a very positive way. Good Luck to you!!!!
Seb?
Me encantaran siempre
Yo tambien
Girl You Know It's True...OMG, I STILL love Milli Vanilli.
