Jealousy is a helluva drug. Both men were jealous of their successful partners. A 30 yr. old man getting coddled by his mother is embarrassing & ridiculous. 🙄 He should've deleted himself instead of her for being a loser. As for the has been... that's why he was mad because he was irrelevant ASF. 😒
@@marciawade9101Just like every other blk woman with a few dollars in this country and that is why the black murder rate is so high and ain't noway around that fact(she is by no means alone)..
I had the biggest crush on Russell back in his Hi Five days. I remember hearing what he did to his girlfriend and was just shocked because that Unsung interviewed he did seem so calm and cool. You just never know people true intentions behing their smile.
Didn't he always seem so intelligent from the interview....? He will no doubt play crazy trying to say He Snapped...Yea...Snap His ass in handcuffs ...Throw his ass in the cell with His brother....They can both take the slow fall to Hell
Yep! 💯 This guy had two educated, successful parents…Even got into the music biz. If he didn’t want to stay in the group, he could’ve done A&R or something. He had a better start than 80-90% of Black Americans, and he still turned out a spoiled, lazy loser!!!
First off, it's good to hear from you again ‼️ second: Am I the only one to think his mother helped him, being she is a medical physician? Concerning his mental plea.
It's so sad how this turned out. But he was absolutely valid in leaving an industry that rips off poor black kids constantly. I can't imagine what it was like to have all that fame but nothing to show for it. Most of the tragedies we see when it comes to celebrities could be avoided if the industry wasn't predatory in the first place. The toll that takes on us isn't talked about enough. What a terrible tragedy but God is judging all that is done in secret.
Im sure he wasnt flat broke,,,they probably gave him money but he wanted more,,even New edition was broke startin off,,thats part of the process...Rome wasnt built in a day,,takes time ..but he was selfish and greedy
@@keepitreal1339 Nah, you weren't paying attention. It was their 3rd album and they were only making $60,000 apiece after going gold twice.

So he takes the life of the mother his children, because the industry did him wrong. Then his brother does the same thing. Something was wrong with their family life growing up. This is what they do when they can't have their way. Kill what they suppose to love.
@@denisehenry3427 You guys are willfully dense. It's merely a factor. Something that connects to why so many celebrities spiral out. All I wanted to do was point out the industry angle because multiple things can be true at once, for crying out loud.
So my first take away from this video, is that Tony Thompson and Tristen Irby were the ONLY ones who could sing in Hi-Five. The second thing is that monsters are real. Instead of being the one's from bedtime or ghost stories, they can appear in human form. Russell Neal is indeed a monster in the flesh.
treston was average at best. if he was so good he would have sang lead vocals at some point. toriano could sing tho. that's his voice on the first album.
In November 2005 in a live studio radio interview, it was Tony Thompson, along with four members of his newly reformed Hi-5 group, interviewed with New York talk show host Wendy Wms., this is when a call comes into radio station while on air from enraged ex-member 😡Treston Irby, a former first Hi-5 replacement, he was a quick fix, and due expulsion of talented R&B original/founding member 16 yr. old Toriano Easley (‘89-90) as this group’s debut album Hi-Five was finished and ready for release, first single “Just Can’t Handle it” already released (Aug.1990) and video were doing very well… On air it was Tony who said of Irby’s singing ability “he can’t sing… he had a few speaking parts, and if you don’t believe [it, me] then ask Clive Calder […] at Jive records” Calder was the CEO of Jive Records, who’s said to have had a hand on any music recorded at Jive.. and the master mind behind Backstreet Boys Britney Spears NCYNC..: this trio turned him into a billionaire that nobody knows… Tony alone is the same caliber as this trio.. and he was the only reason for High Five aka Hi-V in the first place.. those other members were part of the strategy too promote Lil Tony before a solo career “I want a little kid like Michael [Jackson]” from Hi-5 Unsung (2014).. It seem Irby came to realize “it’s always about him” meaning Tony who could sing and a natural talent. This group started out initially under direction per a production deal (Nov. ‘89) with their first management (Ford & Bell) record deal made with Jive/RCA record company. The Hi-5 group was built around Tony Thompson (friends, family). All those classics from the 3/albums recorded 1990 1992 1993 are a compilation, the Hi-Five “Greatest Hits” final album (1994) plus his debut 1995 solo album “Sexsational” and his 2005 project “The Return” truly is Tony Thompson’s legacy as phenomenal recording industry artists, and everlasting music will continue to live on bcz of brilliance in vocals recordings, and history will eventually show his rightful place amongst R&B genre music as a 🐐💯
What the heck is wrong with the mother…. She was way too calm, collected, and not surprised or shocked in her response. Her son killed someone and she was talking to him like he was In kindergarten and was calling her from the principal office. He was definitely a mommas boy. Stay away from those mommas boys they usually have deep issues with women stemming from a crazy relationship with their mother. And their arrogance more than likely came from having a medical doctor mom and dad who was a lawyer….they were probably spoiled and felt “entitled/uppidy”
@@julslatt6294. I am so sick of plp like you who think that someone is above doing wrong or being wrong just because they have a title, money, fame, education, or is a church member/clergy/pastor/deacon. It is a fact that Narcissists and other disturbed individuals hide behind those titles like wolves in sheep clothing. The fact that he wanted to speak with his mother (for comfort) after deliberately killing his wife was not normal and neither was his mother’s response to it. Maybe he should’ve called his MOMMA before he killed his wife. The fact that she is the late mother of this murderer means nothing because his wife was the LATE mother of his children and a beautiful sister, friend, and person who was robbed of having a relationship with her children and family. You can focus on sympathy for the devil but I feel others can learn a lesson from the tragedy and that lesson is…. WATCH OUT FOR MOMMAS BOYS who have unhealthy and weird relationships with their mothers and/or mothers who have weird attachments with their sons. Both of her sons KILLED their wife/children’s mother. Only one son had a moment of fame which is irrelevant to him choosing to kill. That Norman Bates stuff is real sir.
Wait he got bail for murder? His mom got custody of his kids? And he was able to plead insanity? SMDH! And the brother did the same thing 6 years earlier. No deal should’ve been given. They both should’ve gotten the death penalty. Now you have 4 boys having to live with this horrible and horrific happening
Mannn you was up late huh??? Up listening to that classic R&B. I ain't mad at ya fam.... Now you know you gotta do the story of the heart and soul of Hi 5... Tony T!
I've been following the Hi-5 story for awhile. Like most others, I had the major hots for Tony, and Pooh was a cutie as well. Russ was attractive but seemed arrogant even then. These boys seemed cursed like the cast of the original Little Rascals. It goes back to the idea that the industry, music as well as TV and film, takes advantage of their young, inexperienced stars and then leaves them with no direction when things began to wind down. I wholeheartedly agree that Russell and Ronald Neal were demented mama's boys who had no idea how to behave like mature men and somehow both had the notion it was ok to take it out on their loving partners. I hope that the Neal Brothers get plenty of punishment on the inside for their demonic behavior. May Tony and Pooh, Catherine and Styvonne rest in eternal peace.
So glad to see you are well👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 I lived a couple doors down from her Mother in Texas. Awesome and beautiful Mother. Loving and attentive to her other daughter who was doing great in school. Very polite. Awesome.
Tony Thompson Was My Guy! Great Video and Commentary. Hi-Five Was Crushing It Between 91-92. They Worked With A Young Prodigy on A Song 🎧 From Boyz N Tha Hood..(Too Young)
Rest in eternal peace to these two beautiful young ladies with children. They didn't deserve to have their mothers killed because of their jealous husbands. Although their mothers are not here, their love and devotion to them isn't forgotten. I hope the system finds out what triggered these men to do the unthinkable and take away these children's mothers. These men had no right at all to bring harm and now the kids suffer without their birth mother who will always be in their hearts and having their grandmother and aunts care for them. I pray for justice ⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️ for both of these young ladies (strength, love, encouragement, forgiveness from God) so they can move past this tragedy. I pray for Roderick "Pooh" Clark's family as they deal with his passing after being in a terrible car accident that put him out of the music 🎶🎶 industry. May God continue to bless them, pray for one another and keep each other's loved ones in their hearts, souls, mind and spirit forever. 💜💜💕💕💞💞🙏🙏✝️✝️💪💪 !!
I find it sad to say this, but history surely does repeat itself. Cursed history definitely repeats itself. Russell repeated the history of his younger brother, Ronald, right down to the last minor detail. Not intended to take accountability from both of those men, just saying. Live in the past and fail to learn from it and you doom yourself to repeat it.
Wow , and the irony … I was passing thru Waco AS I was watching this. Crazy. Rest in Peace to the women who lost they lives. Prayers to the kids and families. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I really love your channel and videos.I'm 47 yr old and was raised in Queens.My era of hip hop is the 90's.I would really like you to do my top 3 favorite rapper Albert Johnson aka Prodigy...I know his story but I would like to see you do it.The for your videos
Man they was 1 of my favorite group in the 90s I never new all this tragedy happened with them this is crazy. Thanks for the documentary this is 1 of the best channels out there
I. Am. FLOORED!!! I never knew any of this other than Tony passed, didn't even know why. This goes to show all money is not good money... even though singing in a group seemed innocent, that industry's energy is heinous. Rest in peace to these women...I hope their children are loved, safe and healing.
I remember those songs being # 1 hits when I was in elementary school my mom liked their music in addition to my little sister Dino from H-town and Tony are two of her all time favorite male vocalists.
Tragic. I wish we could get more info on wtf was happening in Russell and his younger brothers household. It had to be terrible to raise two murderers.
I loved Hi-5! Russell was a P.O.S. who was a jealous and arrogant has been. Instead of supporting his partner he chose to make this permanent decision smh How unfortunate for their children to be without their beloved mother. May Catherine, Stovyne, Tony and Pooh be at peace.
I used to love this group. My favorite members were Tony and Pooh. I hated Russell, he just seemed so arrogant to me and I didn’t see the purpose he served in the group. My favorite songs were I can’t wait another minute and Never should’ve let you go. I still have those in heavy rotation.I will never forget the night I watched the premiere of their Unsung episode. I love that show and live for the new episodes, even though you know most of the story it’s great tv. This episode was different because as I’m watching I hated Russell even more listening to him. He was only with the group a few years and made no big contribution, so I was pissed he was causing so much trouble for the short time he was there. . I was more pissed that Pooh wasn’t included in the episode when he was still alive then. I saw this story on True Crime and became livid that two brothers in one home with the same mom,who had coddled her sons so much, that she made them entitled, spoiled, angry, demanding little boys. A son who has a wife and home that mom pays the bills for. I wish so much she would’ve seen that if he wasn’t working because he hadn’t been required to, he wasn’t gonna start being a man and working because he got married. Listening to his mom speak to him on that phone made me want to shake and slap her for being the horrible mom she is. She talked to him as if he hadn’t done anything wrong. Russell followed his lead and it had been pre set for him. I hope he has been declared competent and faced the murder he committed. Wherever he is I wonder why do the angry inmates not attack and kill people like him, where is the dude that took out Jeffrey dahmer? I feel bad for the 2 women and the children they left behind.Thank God Catherine’s family got her kids from his mom. I really hate she felt he was going to save her when he hadn’t saved or taken care of himself. RIP to the women and prayers for the kids and families.
The music industry is a Cut Throat Game. So many artist got beat in the music business. That's why artists need lawyers and good manager for their careers.
So, Ronald didn't know he killed his wife?!!!?? When the detective told him the charges He said "Murder?" "She didn't die did she? " what in the what what???!!! and then that mother...."We all know you're sorry you're not in this alone" CRAZY - My heart breaks for these young women and their children two beautiful women that these 2 brothers never deserved.
How devastating to birth 2 murderous sons. What a curse on High 5 & the 2 brothers. What a shame. 😡 The Devil had them. His mission is to steal, kill & destroy. Sad story.
Catherine's family didn't like Russell or Ronald Neal from the beginning one of them asked the lady why did she want to marry Ron and the sister didn't like Russell because she saw through his act.
Ladies this is also a cautionary tale of why one must listen to their parents as well as pay attention to 🚩!!! He was 34 and she was 18 ! That has control written all over it !
@1:50 why young black brothers engage in this life of crime when they come from a two parent privileged black family?!! I don't get it. America has always destroyed black families so when you come from a stable black family why don't you want to cherish that.
Good video...but when they had the accident they were still promoting Keep It Goin On which was their second album. Russell was still a no show at the time when the group had the accident. He came back when Pooh couldnt be in the group anymore then he left due to money. The third album Faithful had the two new members
Wow, man. What a sickening & tragic story. My heart goes out to the families & sons of Catherine & Stovyne. I had no idea the younger brother committed a similar crime. Their mom "standing by" must be proud. smh --And uhh, what "solo career," Russell? What a missed opportunity to play this clip from It's Showtime at the Apollo ua-cam.com/video/xUTLkiz3tHk/v-deo.htmlsi=ybvxr0oofARLf0f5 (the 3:13 mark) This keeps me in tears 😂 Dude COULD NOT sing & with contracts already signed, he was clearly there for the image of the group. I mean, you saw how everyone looked over at him in that clip 0:31 😭 Russell was ALWAYS the weak link
I remember Hi Five!!! It does seem like a curse was surrounding that group, with the way the lead singer Tony died, what happened with Toriano,Pooh being paralyzed,& now this!!! But Russell & his brother Ronald were off in the head!!!
Jealousy is a helluva drug. Both men were jealous of their successful partners. A 30 yr. old man getting coddled by his mother is embarrassing & ridiculous. 🙄 He should've deleted himself instead of her for being a loser. As for the has been... that's why he was mad because he was irrelevant ASF. 😒

I really love your channel and videos.I'm 47 yr old and was raised in Queens.My era of hip hop is the 90's.I would really like you to do my top 3 favorite rapper Albert Johnson aka Prodigy...I know his story but I would like to see you do it.The for your videos
Great video and it is well orchestrated but unfortunate at the same time. Can you do a video on 702 possibly?
Keep them coming tho bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes sir! Can you do a story on ESPN Host Scott Steward, James Avery as Uncle Philp.
Man they was 1 of my favorite group in the 90s I never new all this tragedy happened with them this is crazy. Thanks for the documentary this is 1 of the best channels out there
I. Am. FLOORED!!!
I never knew any of this other than Tony passed, didn't even know why.
This goes to show all money is not good money... even though singing in a group seemed innocent, that industry's energy is heinous.
Rest in peace to these women...I hope their children are loved, safe and healing.
Rip Catherine she's looks beautiful and strong 🕊️🌹
4:37 .. nahhh bro said "Pause!" This is lowkey a historical moment
I remember those songs being # 1 hits when I was in elementary school my mom liked their music in addition to my little sister Dino from H-town and Tony are two of her all time favorite male vocalists.
Wow... I remember this group and alot of those tracks. That was high school era for me...
The saddest part is they didnt even find her for 6 days..she just wanted some1 to notice and lovr her the way she wanted but in the end no1 did
Had to sub and share wurh a few people. I like your narration. Coverage and key facts and factors are good. I appreciate your work
Tragic. I wish we could get more info on wtf was happening in Russell and his younger brothers household. It had to be terrible to raise two murderers.
Lost for words…. RIP to these beautiful women ❤
I loved Hi-5! Russell was a P.O.S. who was a jealous and arrogant has been. Instead of supporting his partner he chose to make this permanent decision smh How unfortunate for their children to be without their beloved mother. May Catherine, Stovyne, Tony and Pooh be at peace.
Another great video 💯
Great Work Mayne 😎💯

I remember this and it is still so sad till this day. May their dear souls rest in peace 🙏🏾🕊️🙏🏾🕊️🙏🏾🕊️
I used to love this group. My favorite members were Tony and Pooh. I hated Russell, he just seemed so arrogant to me and I didn’t see the purpose he served in the group. My favorite songs were I can’t wait another minute and Never should’ve let you go. I still have those in heavy rotation.I will never forget the night I watched the premiere of their Unsung episode. I love that show and live for the new episodes, even though you know most of the story it’s great tv. This episode was different because as I’m watching I hated Russell even more listening to him. He was only with the group a few years and made no big contribution, so I was pissed he was causing so much trouble for the short time he was there. . I was more pissed that Pooh wasn’t included in the episode when he was still alive then. I saw this story on True Crime and became livid that two brothers in one home with the same mom,who had coddled her sons so much, that she made them entitled, spoiled, angry, demanding little boys. A son who has a wife and home that mom pays the bills for. I wish so much she would’ve seen that if he wasn’t working because he hadn’t been required to, he wasn’t gonna start being a man and working because he got married. Listening to his mom speak to him on that phone made me want to shake and slap her for being the horrible mom she is. She talked to him as if he hadn’t done anything wrong. Russell followed his lead and it had been pre set for him. I hope he has been declared competent and faced the murder he committed. Wherever he is I wonder why do the angry inmates not attack and kill people like him, where is the dude that took out Jeffrey dahmer? I feel bad for the 2 women and the children they left behind.Thank God Catherine’s family got her kids from his mom. I really hate she felt he was going to save her when he hadn’t saved or taken care of himself. RIP to the women and prayers for the kids and families.
Sickening.
This is why I'm a fan of legal gun ownership
I'm always waiting for new ones
my fav videos to watch late night when the kids are sleeping
Such an Iconic song nd Memorable group in Urban Culture ..
Kissing Game has a deeper meaning now that Ya Know how their journeys has gone.
Great work bro 😎
Thanks my guy 💯
The music industry is a Cut Throat Game. So many artist got beat in the music business. That's why artists need lawyers and good manager for their careers.
0:11 either that’s Wesley snipes before new jack city or that’s arseno hall before coming to America 🤔🤣
That’s Arsenio Hall 😂😂😂 on his show
This is why you can never convince me to talk to nobody older way way older than me. I’m sorry, no
So, Ronald didn't know he killed his wife?!!!?? When the detective told him the charges He said "Murder?" "She didn't die did she? " what in the what what???!!! and then that mother...."We all know you're sorry you're not in this alone" CRAZY - My heart breaks for these young women and their children two beautiful women that these 2 brothers never deserved.
How devastating to birth 2 murderous sons. What a curse on High 5 & the 2 brothers. What a shame. 😡 The Devil had them. His mission is to steal, kill & destroy. Sad story.
So hearing the third or fourth video clip, it was clear who the vocalist was in the group 🙄
I grew up with Tori, saw him not too long ago.
Toriano Easley? How is doing??
Good shit big dawg I just subscribed
Great video
The devil came to talk
Catherine's family didn't like Russell or Ronald Neal from the beginning one of them asked the lady why did she want to marry Ron and the sister didn't like Russell because she saw through his act.
Damn,from Hi 5 to Deuces ✌️
34 & 18 Oh Hell Naw
Dang I never knew this. Great video
Thanks bro 💯
Ikr
Ladies this is also a cautionary tale of why one must listen to their parents as well as pay attention to 🚩!!!
He was 34 and she was 18 !
That has control written all over it !
The real cautionary tale is not to be working in a strip club and marry a client thinking that you will attain higher Fame or money
Your kids do wrong i will stand beside you wow, sad. RIP young lady..
@1:50 why young black brothers engage in this life of crime when they come from a two parent privileged black family?!! I don't get it. America has always destroyed black families so when you come from a stable black family why don't you want to cherish that.
Testify!!
The voice is annoying and kinda boring but very clear and understandable
The guestion is what made these women attracted to these type of men.
What was it?
Cons:
Physical abuse
No job
Jealousy
Family dislike them
So sad😢
Good video...but when they had the accident they were still promoting Keep It Goin On which was their second album. Russell was still a no show at the time when the group had the accident. He came back when Pooh couldnt be in the group anymore then he left due to money. The third album Faithful had the two new members
New sub 👋🏾
Thank you 💯
this dude is so triflin how you gone charge your girl 40 dollars to watch kids you n her made 😂😂
You know what nurses cal HIV HI5(V)
That's why it's spelled Hi-Five.
Wow, man. What a sickening & tragic story. My heart goes out to the families & sons of Catherine & Stovyne. I had no idea the younger brother committed a similar crime. Their mom "standing by" must be proud. smh
--And uhh, what "solo career," Russell? What a missed opportunity to play this clip from It's Showtime at the Apollo
ua-cam.com/video/xUTLkiz3tHk/v-deo.htmlsi=ybvxr0oofARLf0f5 (the 3:13 mark)
This keeps me in tears 😂
Dude COULD NOT sing & with contracts already signed, he was clearly there for the image of the group. I mean, you saw how everyone looked over at him in that clip 0:31 😭 Russell was ALWAYS the weak link
I remember Hi Five!!! It does seem like a curse was surrounding that group, with the way the lead singer Tony died, what happened with Toriano,Pooh being paralyzed,& now this!!! But Russell & his brother Ronald were off in the head!!!
Another one of my favorite groups 💜💜💜
This is a tragic fucking story
So sad 😢 that he did that to her he was jealous of her success and that he couldn't control her. Hope he spend the rest of his life behind bars.
😮😮😮😮Wow 😮😮😮😮
