En Vogue will never have the level of success they use to have even WITH the original members. Times have moved on - no-one is expecting them, whatever the line-up, to have multi-platinum success anymore.
Rhona being there is not stopping them from celebrating with the fans. Line-ups change and members get added. There were nine Supremes, over 20 Temptations, and major lineup changes for bands like Atlantic Starr, Cameo, Kool and the Gang, and the Pointer Sisters. And people go see those groups and celebrate the music because at this point the brands are bigger than the members who have come and gone. I can't understand how someone who has pretty much accomplished nothing on her own can be so indignant. It's silly at this point to let this petty stuff get in the way of making money and thriving. If all six guys from NE can get on stage and work and entertain fans so can the five members of En Vogue.
I understand where she's coming from, but Terry and Cindy have never left the group, they have continuously been active as En Vogue. Thats why they have more rights to the name. Its not a reunion for them, they've never gone anywhere. She wants to re enter an active group, and kick out an active member that's been in the group for 17 years. They tried that for the 20th reunion and it didn't work. Rhona is not just a temporary member, she's been in the group for nearly 2 decades. It's ridiculous to expect her to step down, thats her group and livelihood too. Why would she just pause her career? I would love Dawn and Maxine to rejoin En Vogue, but how can they expect to come into an active group and just start firing people?
Hellooooo Maxine and Dawn been trying for years to reunite but Cindy and Terry are following the control instructions of the producers and management they don’t want them to leave and negotiate a new contract with some other label and Rona don’t make much because she’s not the original member also their last album flop
No , Zach ur missing what Dawn is saying. She's not saying Rhona needs to be fired. An anniversary of the originals should be an anniversary of the originals.Dawn , Max, Cindy & Terry. Then after the reunion they're gone and the recent line up continues which consists of Rhona. In 2008 at the BET Awards, Alicia Keys called for the original 4 members of EnVogue an at that time Rhona was an active member. But Alicia wanted the originals and the airwaves blew up. EnVogue was the most talked about group that nite, yes over TLC an SWV. Then again n 2005. Stevie Wonder & Prince called for the originals when Stevie Wonder did his iconic video/song called What the Fuss which n turned earned them and Stevie a grammy nomination. Those 2 incidents with Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder is a Blue Print that the fans want the originals. At least for a reunion . Cindy and Terry should stop thinking about themselves and honor the fans wishes at least for a reunion. However I tell u this an I'll end it on this. I do not want to name Terry & Cindy because I hear it's others behind the scenes that's causing this discrepancy. So I apologize to Cin and Terry but whoever it is they are hurting EnVogue even more especially when Dawn is out giving these interviews about what happened and being kicked out an mistreating Maxine the whole none yards. It's really hurting EnVogue badly, the response I hear daily an how people are saying they won't to the concerts unless the OGs are there. I don't no if Dawn is purposely doing this to hurt them. My opinion on that is no. However it could be I don't know but the brand of EnVogue needs to do something quick. It may have to be EnVogue5(EV5). I know Dawn doesn't want that but they need to really listen to the fans an other established artists like Stevie & Alicia who are still here and relevant because If not instead of EnVogue it maybe OutVogue and it's hurtful even to me the groups biggest fan. My favorite all time song by EnVogue was Maxine's (Give it Up, Turn it Loose), a sing which was grammy nominated a top 20 hit on the Pop an R&B charts an a song they hardly even sing at their concerts. Come on guys, Jealousy and Envy is ruining my favorite group!!!!!!!! And to whoever is behind this madness and this Young & The Restless Problem, do know it's Not Fair, Not Fair at all.
@@rickypleasantjr3503 OMGGGGG YOU SAID IT BEST !!! When the original for members reunited it blew up in the Internet they broke the Internet in 2019 and also Alicia Keys wanted the original and yessss they were the most talk and I been telling people En Vogue still has huge chance of getting back on top even in today’s industry I just feel strongly but it’s nothing against Terry and Cindy but they’re people behind them that’s controlling there every decision and dawn spoke on it before one of the producers said to them if you leave me which is the management I will destroy the name en vogue and also image
@@mrcori2649 I don't agree with that. When "Ooh Boy" came out, a lot of folks accepted her because she was taking part in cool new songs that were helping to keep their career going. Or at least keeping them out there. Like a nice revamp. I guess the "folks" I mean are industry. Of course everybody misses the original 4.
Love Rhona and her gift. But, Dawn is right here. The original four have a certain magic when they sing together; it is undeniable. I recently saw Cindy, Terry, & Rhona live a few weeks ago and it just was not the same sound. For music lovers, you want to hear that original sound. Maybe they can practice with Rhona to achieve a new sound or ask her to sit the anniversary tours out.
she is correct...although the new member has been there longer, the group was built around the original 4 and that is who we want to see...i don't support the new group but there are plenty of people that do... good luck to you all...wishing you all the best of success now and in the future...but Dawn, you gotta be like Max and just let them go...they have moved on and are making money...
I agree with you. Life is short. Some of those ladies are now in their 60s. Dawn gotta "let them go". Even though she did sing lead on "Don't let go".😂😂😂
I hate being biased, but Maxine was the most powerful voice and the most distinct. U can’t have Boyz 2 Men without Wanya. I get it! I swear I ain’t trying to be messy. I feel her.
I love the original line-up, the classic EV4. I feel like Rhona has run her course and maybe she and Amanda Cole should get together and be a duo group. They could be like "Changing Faces", Zhané, and Terri & Monica. Plus, I agree with everything about what Dawn is talking about here, like a lot.
I see now why Cindy and Terry want nothing to do with Dawn. She wants to come in a dictate what the ones who have been active do their group. It's not your grouo anymore! And Rona is supposed to be there because she's still there. It's about celebrating 30 years of En Vogue, not the year 1990 of En Vogue. Rhona has put in more time than you have and the Mickey Mouse Club never included En Vogue, so why would they be included?
Seems like Dawn only had dictation … The Original 4xzz Plus if they listened to Dawn the second time around they would’ve never signed the Horrible Deal with Rufftown… it was RUFF! Seems like they Need to let Dawn Lead 🤷🏾♂️ #PunIntended #ILoveAll4
Right! Seems like she think she knows more about the business than what she really does. Cindy and Terry do get to dictate how the group is to run. They have ownership bc Dawn and Max walked away and they took it to court. I do think she is right in saying something is wrong here with their money but all the other stuff she's trying to say to make herself look like the smart one, I'm not buying. Had they say down like grown women and talked things through things would look a whole lot different. Dawn and Max throwing tantrums, look at what it got them. Max didn't like the manager, yet signed the contract again using the same manager. Then got mad and stopped coming to already booked shows.
En Vogue is amazing with the original lineup.... it the way it should be. PERIOD!!!! And, given my admiration for what these ladies did in the industry, it's quite sad to hear that a couple of the girls didn't have Dawn's back!! Crap like that makes me wonder if it's a case of flat out hater-ism!! Dawn is extremely talented, genuine, extrodinary presence, and in my opinion is a different level of sexy!!! Sorry to be 'that guy', but I don't care.... I have had a MASSIVE 30 year crush on Dawn......since high school!!! The point is, there is ZERO reason I can think of why such a classy woman shouldn't be financially SET after leaving that kind of legacy on music. JUS SAYIN!!! I wish her nothing but the best.... I hope she gets a rhythm.... whatever that is, and from here on out just starts killin' it!!
She’s Rightttt Rona didn’t help build this the 4 put in the hard work sweat and tears like listen !!! Give the fans the original 4 for anniversary celebration ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Salt n pepa is doing the same bull to spin this industry is ridiculous
How is snp doing the same thing to spin? You just contradicted your point. They hired spin at least 5 years and 3 hit singles and 1 platinum album later. How is that the same as envogue???
And Dawn left twice. Why should Rhona be kicked out for the work she put in in keeping En Vogue going? She's been active in the group more than Dawn has. Y'all be the same ones hollering "protect black women".
@@notthefather3919 no Maxine left more then Dawn and if you research back then Maxine was in n out the group but came back because she was trying to make it work she was trying to fight just has Dawn was doing and Rona is only keeping them booked 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ Rona get paid less then the other girls because she’s not the original member it all falls down to money
@@notthefather3919 she actually left more than twice too 🥴 1997, 2005, parts of 2008, 2011, then declined the 30th anniversary tour… The ofc she and Max tried to form a group twice and fell out twice…
I know music and in a perfect world,IT HAS TO BE THE ORIGINAL 4 to make things right.Where’s Thanos time tone when you need it.The thing that may be sad forever is all the dissention may make the fans tune all of them out or when/if they reunite the original 4,the fans may tune in just to see the train wreck.Botton line,and it’s not totally their fault,but ITS THE LABEL’S /PR(HO)DUCERS fault.GREED!They should’ve been more savvy having seen a million other groups get screwed by their labels and the label,if they weren’t greedy devils,could be sharing big bags with everyone!
Dawn let’s face it. Rhonda has been in En vogue as long as you at this point. We are fine with Rhona. We get your argument but you left to many times. Get over it
The original En Vogue fans need to bumrush Cindy and Terry's social media pages letting them know the fans want to see the ORIGINAL 4 for a 30-year anniversary tour (which should've been in 2020), and if they want to go back AFTERWARDS with them and Rhona then so be it. I'm personally not feeling this new line up at all, and I'm a die-hard ole skool RnB fan that loves RnB live shows.
@@monember2722 no she is not...... she is speaking her truth and if she does three hundred interviews...she can, because it's her truth. If you don't like it quite searching for or listening to her interviews. I'm glad she is speaking her truth and her story has not changed, one bit. The same story she gave in the "Sister to Sister Magazine" and all these other countless interviews have been the same. Her voice is still on the EV3 album, yet they lied and said her voice was taken off, Babyface confirmed that he could not take her vocals off, yet she was not compensated for that. The woman could not speak back then, because the internet was not like it was. If you don't want to hear it, then move along, but she is not going to shut up and yeah I'm taking it personal, because she is my second cousin and her voice has been silenced. She has moved on, but she can speak her mind, because she is a grown ass woman and she can speak and tell her truth...clearly you keep listening!!!
Dawn just said they "kicked her out" thus technically she was NOT with the group for 30years. Dawn is being petty here. Dawn sounds like so many people who work in corporate America. They often fail to realize that EVERYONE is replaceable. She sounds delusional if she thinks that Rhonna should sit on the sideline and give up a paycheck for "just 6 months".
Love me some Dawn but she gone have to let it go, Rhona might have felt away to take a break from the group for a year thats to long. Everyone need to stay, yall have 1 life to live please try to work together it shouldn't hurt DAWN
En Vogue will never have the level of success they use to have without the original members.

Truth 100%. Only the OG4.
I'm 47 and the ONLY En Vogue is Cindy, Dawn, Maxine, and Terry. Sorry not sorry.
