Its really a shame that they don't make R&B singers like brownstone anymore these lady's can really sing its a shame that R&B will never be the same as it was in the 90s.
#FACTS ..You would be hard pressed to find groups like Brownstone, En Vogue, and XScape in this day and age. Groups where any one of the singers can step up to the 🎙 and sing lead👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Exactly how does a bottle of wine fall off the counter in mysteriously hit her in the head Yeah I believe the husband was involved just saying🤔😒 RIP 🪦 Maxee 😔
@@Monique__91 Well they said it was after an argument I don’t know it just doesn’t sit well with me I just looked at his face in that picture something looks off🤔🧐
I remember watching a video from Celebrity Underrated talking about Maxee's death and I'm thinking to myself "her husband killed her,took one of the wine glasses then broke it to make it look like she fell on it to make it look like she had a freak accident"
Yes it's not adding up. I mean accidents happen but this is just weird.I need more details about this "accident" I watch a lot of criminal investigation too.
@dakota haro When I heard what happened I couldn't stop crying. Max was a gentle sensitive person very kind. May she rest in peace🙏🙏 because this world did not deserve the person I knew.
Continue resting in power Maxi. She was my favorite member of Brownstone with her beautiful voice. She quietly had the most beautiful voice of the group, in my opinion.
I'm telling you I believe her husband killed her and set it up where he told 911 that he found her like that when he and his son got home. What's done in the dark will come to light
The Brownstone story is proof that you need more than talent if you want longevity in the music business. They were truly talented and gifted vocalist. Maxee’s death NEVER sat right with me. Even listening to this woman try to explain it sounds ridiculous on its face. I will always think something fishy happened there, but that’s in Gods hands now. You just don’t hear this kind of Real singing anymore and that’s really sad for not just the industry, but for us the listeners🥰
Most of the divas of on the show I didn’t like and felt they should have never done reality tv like.... Kelly Price, Dawn from EnVogue, Mi’Chelle, Chante Moore, KeKe Wyatt... hell even Hollywood divas made me dislike Golden Brooks from Girlfriends 😩
I totally agree with you! I think the only one who was actually pleasant was Claudette Ortiz from the group city high. She seemed very nice and laid back.
I met the one that died, R.I.P, when I was working at a hotel in Buckhead in Atlanta and I remembered one of my coworkers asking her what happened to the group and if there was any chance they would get back together and she said absolutely not due to the fighting and disagreement within the group, especially with one member in particular, but then I got to met that particular member and God knows she was definitely right about her, she was so arrogant and full of herself to the point where you would think she was the best thing since slice bread.
@@belladonna5904 When someone tends to be the lead vocalist they get the most spotlight. I can imagine the level of pride that can consume a lead vocalist in a trio or group of any size.
Hands down definitely one of the greatest female groups of the 90s and there first single, If You Love Me will always be my top favorite song of there's, for a group that only made two albums, they killed it, they will always have a special place in my heart!, I grew up listening to Brownstone, I was devastated to hear about the passing of Maxwell, may She sing in Heaven 💙 and Rest In Power!! 🙏💞💐
@@LEGENDPantherJennings Really it came down to a couple of things 1. Girl infighting (catiness) and 2 Kina kind of being the outsider as the new woman in the group.
Grapevine was powerful these ladies did it we need more groups like this. No female artist these days can touch them all natural Micheal Jackson knew talent when he saw it.
I definitely wondered about them. And for some reason back then when they replaced the other member it wasn't a big deal. Now I've got to go listen to their music. Thanks lol.
I don’t remember Nicci being on there, but maybe you’re thinking about the episode with Millie Jackson? I always thought they favored each other. That was the episode where they sang “Pass the Peas”!
@@MarvRiv remember the episode where Martin was trying to get Pam cousin a record deal. that was her. and Hustle man went to get a deal with his kazoo on a saxophone 🤣🤣
@@MissJaynet 🤣🤣🤣 yesss I still laugh at that episode like I’ve never seen in Hustle Man playing pick up the pieces on the kazoo sax kills me everytime 🤣🤣😫
Brownstone was one of my girl group favs of all time and I still listen to their songs today!💯 R&B Divas exposed a few folks true colors but Nicci was by far the worst. That type of attitude and behavior is something that you simply cannot unsee. R.I.P. to Maxee🕊❤️
From The Bottom Up is one of my all time favourite albums of the 90s. There was so much potential for these ladies. So sad it ended they way it did. RIP Charmaine Maxwell
I got to see them live just after Kina joined the group on the Jamizon tour with SWV and Keith Sweat. That whole show was amazing! Brownstone tore it up. Also I follow Nicci on Twitter and unfortunately her personality leaves a lot to be desired.
At 3:15 to 3:17 I knew before they mentioned who, I knew who they were going to talk about. You see this person and you can sense problems just by looking at them. At least I can read people w/o out them saying a word. It sad how 1 person can ruin such a great group like that. The thing I like the most about this group, is that even though there were 3 people, it sound it like there were 20 people in the group. I loved that. Say It is my favorite song by them.
Absolutely love this channel! Now I believe they can regroup for a small tour with a tribute to Maxee. And if Nicci jumps out of line threaten her with a phone call to Syleena Johnson to get her back in line.
I LOVE Brownstone. They could SANG! RIP Charmaine🌺 Now I feel like listening to 5 Miles To Empty- I really love that song. Side note: RRG do you remember the 90s group Mokenstef?
I didnt hear you mention the single around you from the group which is my favourite back then and still is 20 add years now,i love 5 miles to empty as well which i just fell in love with from the first time i heard both
I LOVE brownstone but i didnt know they lost 1 of their group member which is very tragic,wish the rest of the members all the very best and that they keep on putting out good music
Thank you for this. Kina is actually on the track "Don't Play Me Wrong" she also left the group due to major issues with Nicci, they still don't speak now.
Wow!. I wondered about them. I still have their debut album “From The Bottom Up,” that’s still their best. I was always feelin’ Nicci out of the three original members. Their name was cool. Brown is the earth & Stone is solid. “Grapevine” is still my favorite song. Mimi Maxee & Nicci, I commend u. Thanks for the time.✌🏿
From watching Nicci Gilbert on television on the show I seen how she really acted, because you aren't supposed to bully other females around like she did.. Maybe if her attitude wasn't so horrible Brownstone would have been a phenomenal success but rest well Queen Maxee.. Could you please do a story about the circumstances surrounding the Shalam including Jody Whatley because that would be a great watch, please..

Your not the only one, because she probably wanted a divorce from her husband and he probably had her killed, and for some people they can get away with it

Those sisters had some voices...Brownstone, From the Bottom Up - that album killed it; I played it to death.
Yes they did! Their harmonies were on point!
Tragic death from group members or anyone in the hip hop community scares me! May she rest in peace
I’ve been listening to them lately you read my mind. And also a video about Musiq soulchild would be nice I’ve been listening to him too.
With all due respect, that young lady's death sounds suspicious 😐. It makes no sense to me.

@@tychauntenelle919 I agree wholeheartedly.

This CD never left my car Strong vocals and powerful harmonies. Definitely miss this group. RIP Max
That death was suspicious af to me
Exactly like wth sounds like a fake story and she really got into a fight or argument and it ended tragically.
I’m telling you.....
Me too.
When I heard that story, I was like hmmmm
I was thinking the same thing
Brownstone was the shyt during the 90's. These groups never get their just due
I loved Brownstone!! They deserved so much more than they received.
They sounded like a full choir together. 5 miles to empty is my favorite song
I’m liking this before I even watch. I loved Brownstone. Thank you @realrealitygossip
Thank you!
Damn, I loved All what that group put out💯 They really should have gone further than they did.
I missed these glad you're back
I LOVED that first album!!!!!
