1988 sonymusic.de millivanilli-bio.narod.ru http In November 1998, the English language magazine Main City (a FAZ publication) published a critically written report on the demise of the Milli Vanilli artist Robert Pilatus under the title ‘When the Music Stopped…’ ” When Robert Pilatus, 32, was found dead in his hotel room in Friedrichsdorf near Frankfurt in April (1998), it was the end of a drawn out downward spiral, hastened by humiliation and drugs.” In addition to the term humiliation, the author also noted that “Pilatus’ fall from the top of the pop world was steeper than any that had ever occurred before.” “A music industry intent on proving its legitimacy in the face of scandal virtually erased Milli Vanilli from its playlists and its history.” None of this corresponds to what really happened – neither the humiliation saga, nor the Milli Vanilli finale. Milli Vanilli were never removed from music history. The Grammy was returned, but that is the only true element of the report. And the scandal, which happened just as Farian had predicted, cost Farian neither fame nor money – with the exception of the 400000 dollars he donated by way of compensation. The real Milli Vanilli catastrophe was neither commercial nor musical. It was Robert Pilatus’s death from a drug overdose. But this, practically a suicide in instalments, was not provoked by drugs and humiliation, but rather through drugs alone, which, in the excessive way in which Pilatus took them, resulted in …

The 80s were pure cheese. That’s why it was so special!
I love Milli Vanilli (with Rob and Fab). I don;t care if they lipsynched. I remember watching these cuties in the 80s and loving their moves, with shoulder pads and everything !! Too bad one of them had to die because of society’s judgemental fingerpointing. People should not base their life on society’s acceptance. Life is more than that. Too bad Rob was not taught to treasure life above all.

A few months ago I was watching music videos and they showed this one on there and I thought ” who the hell is Milli Vanilli? ” because I had never heard their music before. I think it’s a pretty good song
