    I love them as a trio. Funny how things go full circle. Teisha replaced Mimi when she left and now Mimi is back and holding it down for our dearly departed Maxee.

    I give it to them because it's hard to sing with a live band with no background track plus they been out game 20s years and they still sound amazing

      Nicci was a BEOTCH and an opportunist that's one of the reason. She was totally about trying to go solo. Like so many groups there is always one trying to sneak and cut solo deals behind the backs of other members.

    I've always been a fan of brownstone from the beginning. Nicci even in older clips at the beginning of their career has always been "winded" and cracking sometimes. Yes she can sing, but she needs to work on staying in her range and pitch. Nicci is more of an alto/second soprano (on a good day). And what in the world happen to the one in the middle (the original)????? VERY PITCHY!! Still love them.

    • @nesq4104

      I have a theory that the poor food quality in usa messed up these voices. Early 90s everyone had crazy resonance and could hit any note with ease. By late 90s and 2000s same voices and newer voices struggled. I did learn that the fake food is weakening the voice and out bodies.
