"Girl, you know it's true."<BR/><BR/>girl in giro - I like how they tried to bust out a cabbage patch dance type move. ha.<BR/><BR/>glamah16 - Yes he was. What they did was wrong but I felt the producer should have taken the hit as well. These guys were young and they thought maybe the CD would be a club hit in Europe not be nominated for Grammys. <BR/><BR/>tracey k - you too. I remember on BTM when Rob said they were praying that they would not win the Grammy for best new artist. They did and everything fell apart.<BR/><BR/>jstele - His own family? I want to know more about what is was like for him to grow up in Germany as an adopted biracial kid back then. <BR/><BR/>los angelista - very good point. Many female (and I sure quite a few male) fans were into them because they were ridiculously gorgeous. Plus I'm a sucker for certain accents.<BR/><BR/>ninety9 - I agree. I forgot Neneh Cherry was up that year for the same award. What is she doing now? I thought she was fierce. I have a secret...I still have a few cassettes and actually bought them to Rome with me. I couldn't throw them out. <BR/><BR/>ms. violetta - I did too especially when I would listen to "Blame it on the Rain."<BR/><BR/>jen - They did have charisma. That is something you can't manufacture or learn.

Time to bring that bad boy out! I was annoyed when they won the Grammy for Best New Artist (Neneh Cherry was up for that award, LOVE HER!) but the public lynching they received was ridiculous. I also remember that BTM episode, it's really very sad and a comment on what public shame can drive a man to do.

They kinda chewed them up & spit them out, didn't they? And yes, I thought they were both very good looking, especially Fab in the later years after all the 'hair' was gone. Quite yummy & I really liked his voice. Good, sad memories anyway. Thanks for flashback fridays! (LOL!)
