Mine too!!! And she actually could sing along with the lead singer JoJo with the braids. The other girls Rick James said we're just props for the look. They were vocally limited he said. Cheri was a doll! She is touring with them now though, I saw their page on Facebook.
By that question Dick Clark asked Jojo, clearly she was the actual talent of the group. Backup studio session singers were used for the rest of the members but they were eyecandy😊
Love the interview! They looked good n fashion was quite good considering the era but honey!!... When he asked maxi if she could do backup she said nooo yea thats right hoe cause the water sisters dont perform on stage!
Y’all saying Jojo but I feel like Maxie can be just as much of a lead too ! It was actually just destined for jojo to be the lead because she was trying to secure a record deal it isn’t like today you go buy some studio time or record in a makeshift studio back at home industries wanted you to prove yourself on a trial basis( if you’re in this I’ll guarantee you a solo record ) to be the solo artist and Rick lied to the label and found these 3 to make the group along with the original session singers that sung the background vocals
Jojo was the only one in the group who actually sang. None of the other girls were actually on the records. Jojo was the perfect lead for the group. Maxi is a great dancer but she is no singer nor does she doesn't conduct herself well in interviews like Jojo did.
@@Aristotle777 my comment from 3 months ago was not up for debate you can get your entitled ssa on - you saw a comment to Poke at and began putting your twist on it . you know what google told you just like I know you got that from google- now watch some other follower come behind you and repeat for likes .
@@Aristotle777 Get your facts straight ! First of all there are songs maybe they don’t do live because I’ve heard all of these songs ! Jojo doesn’t lead everything they’ve ever did ! Just the hit songs you’ve heard so I’m leaving you with this : It's hard to know what to believe,we've heard several conflicting stories lol The one thing I know for sure is that,ALL four of the girls could really sing.I have seen the Mary Jane Girls in concert and they definitley were NOT lip-syncing.They sound good.And like you said,the various members sang lead on certain songs (Cheri on "Jealousy"Maxi on "Leather Queen",Corvette on "Girlfriend",etc),proving that Rick had confidence in their vocal abilities.If the Waters sisters were involved at all,their input was probably minimal…… Maxi said you’re a liar
Huh? He asked all of them a few questions. The only difference was his comments about her outfit. Maybe you're too young to remember, but that was pretty damn risque in 1985.
They all look lovely
I remember being so disappointed when Corvette took Cheri's place! She was my favorite by far!!

Do you know why Cheri left the group?
@@markjohnson9485 I heard she tried out for Purple Rain, or something like that. Clearly Rick wouldn't have been happy about that. Lol!
@eldrow lol, yeah, Rick and Prince didn't like each other
@@eldrowshe was in Morris Day girl group called the Day-Zs but the album never got released

No doubt. The backup singers were The Waters.
They must’ve been changed quite frequently… I’ve watched other interviews and Jojo is the only one in all of them.
They all had talent, and probably still do
@@BeatlesFan1975 😆 lol do research bud
And maxi was the best dancer don’t forget
Great interview
Hella good 👍👍👍👍
Missing ya wish I could come back check out Nera love her song Dreams on Soundcloud 😎👍✨ GOTT YA ❗
Maxi was most definitely the finest one out of the group 💯 Corvette second! 💙 Damn i miss the 80s!!
Why don't we ever get to see the performance?
Lindas lindas 😍😍😍
Such easy talking. Today people want to dig into problems and don’t have the sensitivity to stop when it feels bad. Miss so much life in the 80s
I like them all 💋💋💋💕💕💕💕 GOLD 👗 DRESS STANDS OUT
The group had a lot of tension where Rick James was fooling around with Maxi and spending alot of time with her
Which one was Maxi?
@@catra195 Max is the white girl in the group
@@dextert4394 o ok figures lol
@@catra195 LoL you know Rick love the white women
@@dextert4394 lmao u already know. Bro she looks like he pulled her out of a hut in the wilderness of a nordic tribe
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
I wish these women owned what they did more. It shows a lot about who Rick James was as a person. Smh
What do you mean
@@roselynholloway7863I heard they all had to sleep with Rick in order to be in the group.
Love the interview! They looked good n fashion was quite good considering the era but honey!!... When he asked maxi if she could do backup she said nooo yea thats right hoe cause the water sisters dont perform on stage!
Actually Maxi can sing
@@kennethcooper4327 on which planet?
@@DubbViews stfu. She can sing. She put out her own music. She can sing.
She’s been singing a lot with the group lately if you look up recent videos. She leads the choruses sometiems. Shes gotten better. Hater.
@jlayfin why just call the white girl. All them didn't sing backup. JoJo was the only real vocalist.
Opened their mouths and ended up being well spoken
This is the real liberalism in the music industry.

@@derrickhobbs6463 Umm that was unnecessary. Im just adding my opinion. I actually got my information from Jojo herself from an interview.
Corvette was a cutie, not as hot as cheri but still hot.
I hate how he was mainly giving the white broad the attention 😒
Really? He asked them all questions. Stop
Well she looked better than all em. The "WHITE" broad!
Huh? He asked all of them a few questions. The only difference was his comments about her outfit. Maybe you're too young to remember, but that was pretty damn risque in 1985.
