Five Miles To Empty was the joint and still is ringing bells in 2024!Almost 30 yrs later❗️♾️
Facts I still hear it being played in cars
My was grapevine love that jam even this day 😊
I'm 45 and still love all their music ❤❤❤❤❤@@New.orleans
Yeah I heard it in a store one day. I didnt know they sung that song.
@@torrijones8434 Yea that was a hit right there. when that song came out i was little, but heard it all the time.
There is something very unbelievable and unpleasant about Nicci's personality. Sylena didn't read her for no reason.
I didn't know. I just knew that I absolutely loved their voices and their style.
Like nice/nasty?
Truth! There’s something extremely abrasive and off-putting about Nicci…
They are somewhat alike. Lol
@@ladylovesherlord sylenna is NOTHING like Gilbert
Brownstone is apart of my childhood; Maxi is why as a teenager I fell in love with long micro braids, I thought she was so beautiful (RIP)
The group was never the same vocally after Mimi left
EXACTLY! I been sayin that for years.
Mines Too
But Kina was amazing. It wasn’t until it was no Mimi no Maxee no Kina that Brownstone unraveled
@@q.daniellejones4485 No shade to Kina because she can blow but I always preferred the harmonies with Mimi. I feel the same about Rhona in En Vogue; she is a vocal beast just never fit in vocally with the group. Nicci still tours with new members but they lack the Brownstone sound.
@@itsnoahonfire I agree 100%
Man, ***Grapevyne*** was the track for me❗️❤️😱
Harmony, Cohesion, Blended Vocals, no other trio that I can think of did it better! The 3 Degrees, The Jones Girls, The Emotions, Diana & Supremes....🫶
But Brownstone's elevative range and harmony,,,,WOW❗️They blew away Grapvyne!!!
Loved their 1st album. Michael Jackson knew what he was doing lol
The song 'Sometimes Dancing' was my jont, and a sleeper to me with that reggaeton vibe.
@keystonestatewarrior3358
KSS, I hear you Bruh. 🫡👍▪️
Yessss
@@cwvos that is my jam😌🥰
@@aliciamoore5722
Mines to Queen!!! 😊▪️
Nicci is always the only person telling her side. I’m not buying it
Exactly
Nobody wanna talk 🤷🏾
Very true
She has a right to tell her own story. It doesn't matter what you aren't buying nor believing, it's her story and you weren't a part of it
@@VelvetSowellYou miss the damn point. Smh
Why doesnt anyone ever interview Kina!? I want to hear her side.
Loved Kina and her album was amazing! Contemporary Rock/Pop with RNB undertones.
@@likedbymany1 Kina ain’t with the sh*t. She’s always been no nonsense and if it don’t make sense, she ain’t with it lol. She’s extremely quiet on social media also.
I’m glad Brownstone is still making music and still touring. RIP Maxie. 🎼🕊️🖤
An era when singers saaaaaaaaang ❤
Period
Brownstone had some great harmonies
I don’t believe that Mimi “DIVA” ish at all for one second! She didn’t lead any songs. I believe she wanted more lead opportunities and the chick Nicki cut her throat and got her kicked out the group for her college homegirl.
Kina also has an incredible voice
I still have girl from the gutter and hurt so bad in heavy rotation
I wish Kina would come back to music I love her eclectic music style
Nicci is a liar, Kina said out of her mouth “I will never work with Nicole Gilbert ever again!” So she’s not the glue, she’s the paint thinner!!
They Were da ONLY Group I've EVA Listened 2 dat sounded like an ENTIRE Choir!!
2:01 Cute Outfits
I wasn't expecting the Selena Johnson FLIP OUT on Nicci but it seems warranted
That was the best read of reality tV😂😂 Syleena had no chill
Spongebob 😂😂
@@yammieyammie8980 lol
Had no clue she would go off like that, but Nicci was tripping!
5 miles and their remake of I can't tell you why.. My 2 favs from them🔥
Kina was an excellent addition, im not sure why Gordon Chambers who pinned their number one hit didn't write more for them.
Aaah I loved them so much 😊I use to play their music everyday ❤
Kina is GORGEOUS!!!!❤❤❤❤
YES!!
What they've done for me on their first record🔥🔥🔥. Strong like stone , earthy color Brown. Now I know what she said. Every group has it's drama. Different personalities clashing.
Nicci is the villain in this story. If you don’t think so go watch R & B divas!
The best group harmony I've ever heard.
Yes!!! All three delivered great vocals!
Sorry but that's en vogue
@@ScorpionLee1envogue, swv, escape
So sad these groups can never stay together! Mint Condition is probably the only group from that era that never had major problems with each other other! Stokley will get back with the group soon too
Nicci don't make no sense. Kina left the group in 98 and Nicci and Maxee did several performances as a duo, even one with Celine Dion afterwards, Kina had already left by that stage.
No lineup will ever top the OG lineup with Mimi!!
I was a huge Brownstone supporter, as a DJ, their music was in my rotation, but a reunion, new album, that ship sailed. They can definitely tour on their old hits, but the sound of today, their sound is not current.
All groups always start off fire then there comes the drama. It’s not just girl groups.
They should of gotten a grammy just for their blended voices...And, i actually enjoyed the sophmore Cd..
5miles2empty is on that..if you are a fan then you know..album 2 was good
“I can’t tell u why” 🔥🔥
They sound like a gospel choir
For real though right?
That's what made the song!!!😍😍😍
The timeline is off... Mimi didn't just bounce they did a BET performance with Kina as an introduction and exit for Mimi - they do shows with Kina while developing the album- it drops in 97 and by 98 Kina leaves - they do the Essence awards with Celine Dion and Diana King - 1999 Kina drops her solo CD on DreamWorks records - 2001 Maxee began dropping singles - 2005 Nicci releases her Solo album - ....
Agreed. This is poorly written music journalism. The people at the channel should do better.
Nicci has always been the problem. Kina said it herself in a interview awhile ago. Syleena said it all in that epic read on R&B Divas. It has always been Nicci...
Syleena read TF out of Nikki. Sis thought she was gonna keep bullying Syleena & got clowned
Secondly - after Mimi left recreation of the sound that made them who they are was something that was almost impossible to do - yet Kina was able to make that happen.. it was after Kina left that the sound was gone - the revolving door of singers could not do it.. no shade to Teisha or the new girls but without Maxee or Kina or Mimi you'll just go to shows and hear backing tracks with one original member - to give you something reminiscent of what we fell in love with you would need Nicci Mimi and Kina and Kina is over it and has said that ship has sailed
Really? 😡Why report rumors about why Mimi (Monica) left the group, when you could EASILY check the facts--and not rely on libel/slander from Nicci and/or any random person who was NOT there behind the scenes at the time. Monica DID NOT leave the group for the reasons (rumors) alleged in this video. Please stop rehashing decades-old false rumors. Simply, ask Monica, if you want the truth. She is not hard to reach.
PS: Don't @ me. It's Mon's story to tell; not mine. Just know that she did not consider herself to be the "Queen Bee" of the group. She is humble, kind, talented, beautiful, and has always worked well with other women. FACTS: She is still active in the Divine Nine sorority that she pledged at UCLA, AND she became a passionate career educator after leaving the group that she dearly loved. Think about that.
PPS: While we are at it, ask yourself why, one by one, even Nicci's "dear friend" from way back, quit the group? Things that make you go, "Hmmmmmmm...."
Exactly! Mon D is NOT the was she was described AT ALL! Known her since elementary school and J&J.
How She doin @@LTD2672
When I saw R&B Divas I knew why Brownstone broke up.
Baboons gums was always the problem and the way they treated the most talented ORIGINAL member KINA of the group is why they paying for their deeds now!
Baboon gums 😮
As a kid who SAW MIKE & JANET, I CAN FEEL how much he loved THEM♥️♥️#MJJ
Mimi kinda disappeared without much explanation😮
I thought she left because she had some kind condition that was a threat to her voice. I think she said it in an interview.
@Paulatics oh ok...I never knew that....thank for the info
RIP MAX ❤❤❤❤❤ LOVE YOU QUEEN❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢
I think Maxi was murdered
I thought the same from the moment I heard the details and how quickly the case was close, no questions!
@@MorganMingo70 when I heard of the way she died, and then when I saw her husband, I said to myself, mmm hmm, I think she wanted to leave him, because some white husbands won't let a sista go that easy, especially a beautiful celebrity sista like her
I think the same thing. It was very strange
Me too
I always felt like her death was suspicious. I always wondered how exactly did it happen. I'd heard it was a freak accident, but I was sceptical.
I still listen to kina cosper....
I don't think it was Mimi with the bad attitude against Nickki, it seems to me she was kicked out because whe wanted her friend to be in the group and after Mimi left the
group was never the same, because I think Mimi was the popular one. I think Nikki can be a monster especially the way she was on R&B Divas
They were one of my favorite girl groups!
Shyt….MeMe could sing her face off!
Love their albums. Wishing them love
So I just want to know when is Nicci G going to take accountability for her part in the demise of the group? According to her, it always someone else and never not one time will she say I can be a handful. Stop with all that accusing and projecting.
Their second album was their best... I think the issue was they already had a new member. People are kind of thrown off, although the new member could blow. Their new look "sexy" look wasn't as tasteful as the first, so I think that had an affect also.
RIP Max🎉 not trying to hear what this one is saying. MAX was an agreeable person, and that was not her nature. She was kind and loving and adored Janet.
MJ’s, best discovery.
First album was 🔥 but my syleena served nicci loose lips sinks ships. Can't we just get along
After watching R&B Divas Nicci was the problem
No shade...but they sound absolutely grotesque now...the harmonies give me a headache...the screaming and yelling they do now is a mess...the sound is not good with out the smooth vocals of Maxi blending with Mimis bottom harmonies and then what's her face too.they blended...not anymore.yikes!
In the game of love,, 💕💕💕
EnVogue, Xscape, and of course these ladies....best 3 groups of that decade who could sing.
Excuse me... rather, who could SANG!
Swv
_Silyna was on Nikki's ass!!_ 🤣🤣🤣
They were amazing singers 🥰
Love love love me some Brownstone ❤
Those girls can sing.
Many will argue that Brownstone ended once Mimi left, but - to me - with Kina in the mix they were still one of the best vocal groups ever, only second to the original En Vogue. A Brownstone reformation would only make sense with a lineup of Nicci, Mimi and Kina, but I know that will never happen.
Nicci was a natural at acting, and Maxi sounded good in London
Where is Mimi? We need her to come to the table.
Was An Awesome Talent
Condolences
Yeah, OK that train has left. They wasted so much time feuding with one another and now they owe trying to relieve those glory days.🥴, if you not Beyoncé or Megan Thee Stallion Nicki Minaj Cardi B you can hang it up🥴
How can they call themselves brownstone with only one original member?
I mean Nikki's face and voice were a staple to the group. Shes definitely the most recognizable
The song from the soundtrack Woo tgat is the best song ever lol
HEAR TO SUPPORT MY FAVORITE DIVAS.
45 had to come see my girls ❤❤❤❤
Lets be real. Brownstone songs were great but we all thought the lead singer was the nicci...Tbh the fans focused on her more, but also recognized maxi (My deepest condolences) To the point the other 1 girl couldve been replaced and we wouldnt of even noticed. The one who thought she was the most popular and left the group, that one ...no one even knew who she was. Still till this day no one knows who she is. Now even when yrs later nikki did a reality show, we as brownstone fans knew who she was and what group she came from immediately. They all were and are great singers and in 2024-2025 we need that type of real rnb back.
That whole thing about Mimi thinking she was the most popular is a lie she was actually the opposite. She was humble and seemingly a sweetheart. This is the last performance she did with the group where they also introduced her replacement Kina at the same time and she very much was giving team player especially at the end when she graciously let them do their thing as the new trio:

When u dont come from money or fame n all the suden you got both, that causes ego issues. Why cant yall stay deeply rooted ....smdh. Fame n money isnt for everyone
Question, what made Mimi think it was all about her? We dont even know what her solo voice sounds like.
Guess she said, "Let's see if you guys sell without me."
I wonder why Michael Jackson fired her. Probably her attitude. Lol
the 3 degrees.
I lost so much respect for this one. Her behavior was unsisterly and just deplorable!
eternal and blaque and jade and brownstone and diana and the supremes and the emotions and en vogue and fifth harmony and the jones girls and swv and cherish and total. countless countless others.
Nicki is and has always been the problem.
Is the Narrator the girl on the Howard Stern show? Sounds like her

This is bad development
That’s My son Auntie Cass Tech Her an Kenya Moore was Best Friend’s and Niccl was the Engine Behind the Group if Charmaine Husband would’ve been Black He would’ve been locked up until proven Innocent
That’s My son Auntie Cass Tech Her an Kenya Moore was Best Friend’s and Niccl was the Engine Behind the Group
Based how Nicci been moving within the past 10 years in her world alone, you can tell she had a vision for the group, unfortunately everyone around her didn't see said vision
How many times you gonna post this
Closest who is his auntie
The current lineup sounds the best 👌🏾 since the original!!
BRINGEM BACK! Ladies PLEASE RETURN! ALL OF U! 🥁🥁🥁🥁
