My advice to you and all of you, don’t give up. Nostalgia is a really big seller right now. I am 26 years old. I was just watching a video about 15 girl groups I forgot about and you guys were #1. I was only 7 when He Loves U Not was popular but hearing that song for the first time in 19 years, I almost hit the floor. You guys were impactful. Even though I didn’t remember you- that was only due to my age. I heard that song and instantly remembered that I loved you guys as a child. Even today that song still slaps. It’s because of artists like you that I am in school studying the music industry now. Your story speaks to me. I think you guys still have a good shot. Just keep making music and get it out there for people to hear. Forget the producers and the managers who keep giving you the short ends of the stick. Get your music out directly to the consumers literally any way you can. Social media, EPs. Anything. Don’t wait for the industry to see your worth because I’m telling you right now D.R.E.A.M has value in today’s landscape. Just get your music and your stories out there to anyone willing to listen!
Yeah, very soon 90s and Y2K revival's going to be more mainstream. I've just realised that the video uploader is a member of a Y2K girl group. That was the time when groups were at peak.
If they’re not going to air this I would honestly watch a dramatized version of this where the women are compensated generously for because this looked incredible. Possibly too ahead of its time. So many interesting dynamics: obsession with youth & sexism in the music industry, workplace harassment, pregnancy (and so much), female friendship, 90s, 2000s nostalgia, an underdog storyline like this would is an incredible story
Diddy is a crook. Every artist that comes to his label only gets one album no matter how talented. He then takes all the money by having them sign crappy deals. Just evil. Sorry that happened, bit very glad your doing well.
I’m sure Diddy has his version of this story, however unbelievable I’m sure it may be, but honestly I can’t help but feel he really didn’t even bother with them after their first album. For people like him, he only wanted to keep banging out new artists while leaving the likes of Dream, Mario Winans, Carl Thomas, and Total in the dust! These girls certainly deserved much better. Yeah they had their fame, but there’s no reason they should’ve ended up in the positions they ended up after their success. Show business can be a bloody business sometimes
Well the girls had made albums that were already recorded but due to Melissa taking her leave to pursue a acting career they weren't able to release those albums anymore. (Which you can now find on iTunes/Apple Store) Thus them replacing Melissa from the line up and recording a new album that they were only releasing in the UK entering in the UK although the single Crazy did drop in the U.S.. I heard that once P Diddy released whatever projects of the girls had finished after that their contracts were up P Diddy decided not to move forward with Dream. Besides that Holly also wanted out.
@@albertg.2285 She could have been replaced. It has happened with almost every girl group dating back to the sixties. Keep her vocals and hire a replacement to sing over them. This story isn't new. It's how this business works.
I would’ve watched this!…looks very heartfelt and entertaining. I remember listening to their music with my friends at each others’ houses. I love that they connect with their fans! I really want them to be happy and successful; I love still listening to their debut album. 🙏🏽🍀💕
Luv to see more of this 😃 I like the behind the scenes kinda life stuff. Even tho it did not work out post 2003. I'm glad all those albums went up on itunes! ❤💋
Mel, you and the ladies of Dream have always stood for intestinal fortitude & resilience as far as I'm concerned. I would have loved to see this series. Many hugs & much love to you and yours!
Where is all the footage that was taken? Can this be released online or is there legal hurdles that would have to cleared. It would be interested to what was actually shot.
This pilot was made for a reality TV show when the ladies were trying to get together as a trio girl group without Holly the name of the girl group was Lady Phoenix. I believe this was around 2009 2010 so around this time Holly was in San Jose work on her Duo band called whirl something?? (I feel so rude for not remembering the name of the band.) So the ladies decided to move forward with separate projects. I do believe years later Dream got off work original band members together for a reunions tour.
You ladies are amazing. They should have released a couple of more songs off of your debut album like “Miss You” or “Pain” or “Do You Wanna Dance”. And then got you all in the studio to release another album. Y’all were not treated right.
Hi Melissa, thanks for sharing a little bit of this untold story with us! Would you happen to have any footage from 2015-2016 when the four of you reunited for the My2K Tour?
Melissa can I just say that I love you ladies so much and I adored Lady Phoenix. I love your guys's rendition of Fever. The music that you guys were working on was really great. I wish that this reality show would have gotten picked up. I'm just wondering if P-Diddy played a part or had anything to do with Lady Phoenix and reality TV show not being able to take off the way that it should have. Plus I do understand that there were other variables going on. Y'all really had some Bops though Bang Bang ,Don't Tell My Mama, I'm the kind of girl, and Dangerous dame's. Your harmonies were beautiful. Idk if you and the lady still talk I just wanted to send you all my love and let you know that lady Phoenix was very wanted and appreciated and Dream will never be forgotten. If there's anything you can shine some light on please feel free to comment back Melissa thank you very much sending you lots of love from all of my heart
@@OfficialMelissaSchuman yous guys got done dirty. I wish this show would have happened and I would have loved to see you guys rise back up. You ladies deserved so much better.
Wow, you girls really got the shaft in the business, especially yourself. We're just starting to find out just how messed up the entertainment industry is. Obviously, all I saw in the late 90s and early 2000s were hot girls dancing and singing. 20 years later, I didn't need Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein and others to tell me something was and is rotten in Denmark. It's probably worse for women than men, but who knows? All I see now is the way 14-16 year old girls were and are being presented in the music industry, and it's pretty easy to put 2 and 2 together. Who's the target audience supposed to be? Back then, I thought it was people my age. Now I'm not so sure. When someone's below the age of consent, things get a little dicy with this stuff.
This would have been such a hit show!
Why didn’t this show air? Omg I would have watched it! Dream was a part of my childhood/teen years
Probably because it would’ve put Diddy on blast (again)
never got picked up! wish it did!
Me too. Maybe P.Diddy had a say in it not airing?

I feel so sorry for these girls. It's sad to see their careers fell apart and they had nothing to show for it.

So sad what happened with DREAM. 3 of the best underrated pop girl groups..... DREAM, M2M, and PLAY!!
I Really Wanna See That Show.

I would have watched the hell outta this show!
I would watch this in a heartbeat!
Here in ‘22! I wish you all success and happiness 🖤

Asking the very important question is because this was also on my mind as well.
Y’all should pitch this to Carlos King ,he would know what to do ..this is really good
Just a quick question... Where's Holly?
This pilot was made for a reality TV show when the ladies were trying to get together as a trio girl group without Holly the name of the girl group was Lady Phoenix. I believe this was around 2009 2010 so around this time Holly was in San Jose work on her Duo band called whirl something??

I do believe years later Dream got off work original band members together for a reunions tour.
@@albertg.2285 Yeah, both Holly & Kasey were reached out but they declined.
This is so cool! I would absolutely love to watch a full show. Sending you all tons of love! 💕💕
saw this on twitter, never heard pf them before 😭
I think if all the members agreed to being on the show it would’ve been aired. Cause this looks like a hit with just 3 of them.
I would LOVE to see the entirety of this show.
Would of been a great show the fans still care very talented group cut to short
Does anyone have the full footage somewhere??
You ladies are amazing. They should have released a couple of more songs off of your debut album like “Miss You” or “Pain” or “Do You Wanna Dance”. And then got you all in the studio to release another album. Y’all were not treated right.
Exactly! YOU LADIES WERE MADE TO DO THIS!!! 😭😭❤❤❤
Hi Melissa, thanks for sharing a little bit of this untold story with us! Would you happen to have any footage from 2015-2016 when the four of you reunited for the My2K Tour?
Twitter brought me here 😂😂😂 release this and get ya justice😂😂
This was almost 13 yrs ago , I would like to see an update !
I would watch this show. Is there more footage to post?
unfortunately we don't have any more footage.
This would of been sooo good! I had their first album!
Wait I want to see this!!!Why is it not a thing?
The show didn’t get picked up by a network ☹️
Netflix should have picked this up.
It’s nice to see this, wish we could’ve had this and more. ❤️
Are you going to post the season?
Where are all the videos to this? I get it wasn’t picked up, so who has it?
This was a great Reel for Proof of Concept!
I WISH THEY AIRED IT
This is when they were this thing called Lady Phenix; Holly wasn’t involved in this journey,
Melissa's husband is sooooo handsome and she's a total fox--that baby must be gorgeous.
Wait...omg where can I see this? Is it still on?
OMG wow i wondered what happened fo dream❤
Dream had so much promise, they could've been really big during their era. It's too bad Diddy ruined something that was good, like he always does.
Dam I always wanted to know more about Dream!
Why didn't this come out!!?!?!?!?!
No networks picked it up.
@@OfficialMelissaSchuman if you dropped it on UA-cam and put ads im sure people would watch!
Come on girls!!!!! Please come back!?!?!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Much respect for you Melissa 💛
I hope too see them back for real
found the song playing in the background at 4:35 it us called March On by OneRepublic. Yayyyy! 😍😍😍😍
Melissa can I just say that I love you ladies so much and I adored Lady Phoenix. I love your guys's rendition of Fever. The music that you guys were working on was really great.

I would have watched!
It would have been a great show, I think it was before it's time.
@@OfficialMelissaSchuman it definitely was,now is the time for nostalgia
Wait is melissas husband a former Britney Spears dancer or am I crazy
yes :)
@@OfficialMelissaSchuman yous guys got done dirty. I wish this show would have happened and I would have loved to see you guys rise back up. You ladies deserved so much better.
I want to watch this 🥺
For me I think with time, I would have to pivot and unfortunately lay to rest the pop star dream.
How come the 4th member Holly isn’t in this?
This was during the "Lady Phoenix" era. Holly wasn't a member of Lady Phoenix.
to be COMPLETELY honest i really LOVE dream
Does anyone know if there's a way to watch the whole series??
Sadly no network pick it up so it never aired
I would have love to see this
it would have been great!

Melissa 💛✨
What happened to the red head that dang lead? Is it explained?
I would have definitely watched this! I think you girls already know this, haha! I miss you girls, soooo much! ❤❤❤❤
That is really a show? Where can I watch it?
This show would have been a pretty good one .. surprised no Networks picked it up... Especially .. E! Channel or Mtv ... Where is the redhead ?? 🤔💯👍😎
Holly never wanted any part of the group after she quit
Pitch to Carlos King!
