  • Kima, Keisha, and Pam made up the hit 90s group Total. Backed by Bad Boy Records, they cranked out some of the hottest R&B songs despite criticism from their haters. But after only two studio albums, they faded away. Here’s what really happened to Total.

    I went to high school with Pam! She was one of the toughest girls in school & so was her older sister Tabitha. I have met her late mother, miss Judy in 90s. I have been in her home as well several times back in the days. Pam was always an excellent singer & one year she was in the school talent show & brought the house down. She also always used to tell me she was going to be a famous singer one day, boy was she right. Also, Pam was always super popular in school. For reference we all went to J.P. Stevens High School in North Edison, NJ.

    Since Diddy was involved, I'm definitely not shocked they didn't last. Lol, he has a terrible track record of shitting on artists. But I am very shocked he had the nerve to tell Missy Elliot anything about her sound, she's a damn pioneer in hip-hop, tf. That makes me soooo happy she turned him down and decided to go it alone versus signing with Bad Boy. Man, she dodged a bullet...can you imagine, he probably would have shelved her...and all her bangers the culture would've been deprived of...smh. 😧😩

      @@jakemiles1427 just because some singers don't have powerhouse gospel voices doesn't mean they aren't talented... I can't speak for Total because I'm not as familiar with their work but TLC were definitely talented, again T-Boz and Chilli didn't have huge voices but T-Boz's voice has always been unique and Chilli has the perfect voice for mainstream pop and R&B. Maybe not the biggest range but let's be honest the mainstream isn't typically looking for that in hits, at least not for the last 25 years (in fact, it's been like that ever since pop music has been hugely commercialized, now that I'm thinking about it, I can think of many popular 80's artists with very mild vocals. I guess the last golden age for really good vocals in most or all hits might've been the 70's or sometime prior. It's just gotten worse as time goes on). Every so often a well rounded vocalist gets a hit, but again, it's not often anymore. Not to mention, Left Eye was a great rapper and lyricist. And all three women could really dance and generally entertain. I can think of worse, more manufactured, vocally lacking girl groups of the 90's (Spice Girls) and yet your example of an untalented group is TLC... I can't 🤦🏾‍♀️

    I remember Diddy being on MTV cribs & I believe it was Pam outside smoking a cigarette. The camera went straight on her & she tried to hide. Diddy said “Put that out, you here to be in the studio” or something of that nature. I will never forget that, I was so shocked.

    You have made my day with this Total episode. Thank you very much..xx
    Edit: not cool Pam...not cool at all making up those allegations about your ex husband.

    Total is still one of my favorite girl groups. Love these girls, they had it all.
