Read My Lip Sync

I was thinking, which is something I do on a regular basis. What did Milli Vanilli do that was so wrong? I’ve tried to put myself in their shoes — which is a lot harder than it sounds. I think they wore Doc Martens.

Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus (R.I.P) didn’t do anything wrong. It was their faulty recording device that began to skip during a live performance, thus revealing the truth behind the beloved group. Most people didn’t even notice OR care. I mean, who doesn’t love seeing two German male models dancing in tights or doing chest bumps. I mean I don’t, but some people like that, especially during the 90’s. I mean, older people were weird from what I can remember.

All I’m saying is that I’m glad recording technology has continued to advance to the state that it is in now. Allowing musical artists to have flawless performances is important, and everything, I just wish Milli Vanilli had been given a second chance—Ashlee Simpson did. Just imagine what other great songs the two guys who were singing for them had scribbled on napkins or in rhyme books. The world will never know. Shame on you media.
