      @@djst9792 to the best of my understanding, she left the LLC that manages the rights and royalties years ago. It’s strange that she and Max talked about bad contracts, but they’ve not exactly made the soundest business decisions in their own careers since then. And the way Dawn always goes to the press for every grouse… breaks my heart, because I never wanted the group to break up in the first place and all the public bickering makes any reunions harder and harder to come by. I think they all have very different ways of doing things and ideas about how to keep the brand alive and profitable. I’m not sure that’ll ever change, sadly. The current trio seem solid. I respect them for that.

    I always thought that Dawn should have never left the group. As BIG as En Vogue were back in the 90’s, they still didn’t get their “just do” like Destiny Child would eventually get. What I’m trying to say is that she leaving and later Maxine, only hurt themselves individually. Fortunately Rhona joined Terry and Cindy, and they really seem to click plus make great music 🎶. I miss the original four, however, I am totally on board for En Vogue today. Electric Cafe, I can’t wait❗️😄 Long live, long shine En Vogue💥💥💥💥

      Well, Maxine was not an alto. She just mostly sung the alto parts and line. Maxine was training to be a classical /opera lyric soprano. Watch and listen to them sing "Part Of Me" on UA-cam.com. Her vocal fach is known as lyric mezzo soprano. That's because her vocal placement is more suitable and adaptable to the lower registers.

      Calvin375 Honestly speaking, I don’t know the specifics about vocals and singing. What I fell in love with about En Vogue back in 1990 was how they blended vocally and how they all sang lead masterfully. Back in the 90’s, everybody had to sing and bring it. En Vogue was so special then and now in fact🌹.

    So many people are so quick to down Dawn, but I can see where she's coming from, even tho she not apart of the group, she was an original and she started the legacy, so if lifetime gonna do a movie about Envogue story, unless they start the movie from after Dawn Robinson she most definitely needs to get paid, like she said she want nothing to do with the movie, but if her image gonna be portrayed on film then she should be paid, point blank...

    I think that the two original members who are now still part of the En Vogue group, probably chose the path of least resistance because they were fearful of the consequences and didn't think they'd make it without their record company and management's approval.
    The other two (Maxine & Dawn) are much more fearless and outspoken and their drive to fight unfairness must've been bigger than that of Terry & Cindy.
    It is a shame, it's too bad that they didn't stick together, but then again I'm sure they all had their reasons for going their separate ways.
    In any case, I wish them all well.

    This situation was back in 2014-2015. It is another nasty chapter of the EV story, and thankfully it is over. I love all of the ladies, and constructive criticism is not shade. I must say that the root of the problem is that new line-ups and solo careers have destroyed En Vogue's power. En Vogue is at its best with the 4 original members. Another Viewer said, "they still didn’t get their “just do” like Destiny Child would eventually get." I agree 100%. EV has had to settle for being "One of the best 90s Girl Groups" and being "One of the Inspirations for Destiny's Child". When we know that they could have had the same success as DC. The awful truth is that none of the originals have surpassed EV's success in the 90s. After "Don't Let Go" EV started to slowly decline unfortunately. We thought Dawn was going to blow up for a hot second with Lucy Pearl but then that died just as quick as it started. Sadly all of her projects after that seemed to flop. The same happened for Max after she left (The Duo with Dawn, The song "Didn't I, and the Remake of "Don't Let Go"). I believe that Cindy & Terry know that EV is best when the originals are together but since they have irreconcilable differences, they had to settle for plan B. The current line-up of EV is not bad, it is just not the best. It always feels like something is missing. I have accepted Rhona as Max's replacement and have suggested on other videos on this channel that EV should invest in hiring a 4th singer to bring back some of that EV 4-part harmony power. A "Dawn replacement" if you will. I think this is just as valid of a solution as Cindy & Terry continuing to push EV as a trio on the world. They have been putting off the release of Electric Cafe since 2016, and the promotion of it (in my opinion) has been sub par. It seems like they can't figure out what they want to do. I truly want them ALL to succeed, it just appears as if they are lost without each other. The best Xmas gift this year or next would be an EV original line-up reunion or a new EV line-up as a quartet.

    *The Movie still came out in 2014 and nothing happened* as mad as she was for not being part of it. Well that's what happens when you quit a group to do R&B Divas instead. You are not included in projects. The name En Vogue according to the Court of Law belongs exclusively to Cindy & Terry. The 2 original members who are still keeping the group going. Maxine, the other member who left, found that out the hard way when she tried to start another En Vogue group.

      From what I've been hearing, Letoya and Latavia still are in contact with Beyonce and Kelly, and Letoya and Michelle have been close friends for 7 years now. Letoya and Letavia are not adverse to reuniting with Beyonce and Kelly. They have both said that they are just waiting for Beyonce. They all still talk to each other and have put the past behind them.

    Its so sad to see what happened within this fantastic group of ladies. I LOVED Envogue and their voices blended so well together. These ladies can SANG! But like most female groups there's always something that happens with a member or two leaving. The Supremes, Martha and The Vandellas, even the sister groups like the Emotions, The Pointer Sisters, it never ends. I wish Maxine and Dawn all the best and though I miss them so, so much with En Vogue I am glad to see Terri and Cindy still doing it with their newer member (who really isn't new as she's been holding it down with the two ladies for a long period of years). As the saying goes, the show must go on.

When you can sing those songs you have what is call performance rights. That means she has ownership. Which means everytime En Vogue perform those songs she should get payed .So something is up with the contact.

      OK I know Dawn personally. I have had many conversations with her regarding EnVoque. First, they were only getting 3 pennies per album, which is insane. After cost there wasn't much left. She, being Dawn stood up for herself and demanded more money for the GROUP. However, the other girls were divided, one (I will not name) was dating one of the producers and co-founder of the group. Dawn was given a take it or leave it option from record executives when she demanded to have an attorney look at they're contracts. She choose to leave it. Now, does that negate her contribution to the group?? No. She as one of the original members of the group put in the time and work to bring the group to the position were they are. They ALL did. Is she firey "yes", is she hot tempered "yes". However, her temperament is not the question here. Her work is. If she and her work are going to be portrayed, then she like the rest should be fairly compensated. Cindy and Terry did not build EnVogue by themselves. The only question in my mind is what would be the split.

    • @Calvin375
      @Calvin375 6 років тому +3

    • @mariomcmichael4970
      @mariomcmichael4970 6 років тому +5

      With that being said...Dawn's mistake, as I have told her; is going after her rights directly instead of through an attorney. She sings and makes good music, let the attorneys do the nasty work. Dawn is crazy talented and if given the opportunity she could still push out platinum. Weather you like it or not she is a brick in the EnVogue name, brand and legacy.

It all depends on their legal right and contracts but it's sad that music is so business directed like this as well as hospitals and other services. It makes the heart and mind so unbalanced.

How can Dawn and Max move on if the new Ev3 is still performing song's that they sang on? I don't know it's just weird seein them perform they old hits without the originals.

I don't wanna go on and on about this. Let me put it this way, ppl wouldn't wanna see Destiny's Child w/o Beyonce' right? Nobody would wanna see Kelly and Michelle and some random chick it just doesn't look right. When you think of Destiny's Child, you think of Beyonce'. That's what I think about En Vogue, Dawn and Max are the 2 important pieces of the group. Nothing against Terry and Cindy, I just don't see "En Vogue" at all, I see them as the 2 other women. Dawn and Maxine stood out the most of the group. Yes I kno it's a "business", sometimes u gotta kno when to go out of business too. Especially if the business ain't like it used to be.
