Das Discopop-Duo „Milli Vanilli“ feierte in den späten 1980er-Jahren mit Hits wie „Girl You Know It’s True“ und „Girl I’m Gonna Miss You“ weltweit Erfolge. Im November 1990 kam jedoch heraus, dass die beiden Interpreten Fab Morvan und Rob Pilatus selbst gar nicht singen konnten, sondern nur als visuelle Aushängeschilder für das Projekt des deutschen Musikproduzenten Frank Farian engagiert worden waren. Bei Live-Shows kam der Gesang stets als Playback vom Band, die Stimmen von „Milli Vanilli“ waren gleich mehrere andere – geboren war einer der größten Skandale der Popmusikgeschichte der damaligen Zeit. Die Doku skizziert die Ereignisse von einst und beleuchtet Mechanismen und Machenschaften in der Musikindustrie.

    🎶Girl you know it's, girl you know it's, girl you know it's🎶 Yes it's true, ooh ooh ohh, I love this documentary. I wasn't around when the controversy happened, but these two paved the way for all artists moving forward, and were punished disproportionately.

    And interesting deep dive into a scandal I half remember from when I was a 10 year old, musically ignorant angel. And even so, I still remember HOW HUGE OF HITS "Blame it on the Rain" and "Girl You Know It's True" Like, my babysitter had the cassette tape, no big deal 😤 I thought they were American lol, Rob and Fabrice (their real names) are actually German🇩🇪 and French🇫🇷, respectively. Which makes the "secret" all that more hilarious when you hear them speak in interviews...because English is their THIRD language....and somehow people were just like: "Nah, it's fine, they cant speak English, they can only sing it." And then they win a fucking Grammy 🤣🤣🤣 Interstating to see all the pieces to come together for, what is basically, rich people manipulating two poor, young, semi-talented black men into making millions and millions of dollars and then letting them take the fall when a secret spirals out of control; it's like Bond-level villainy. The Music industry is fucked! I'm sure glad nothing scandalous ever happens in Hollywood! 🎥👀 PS: Never giving back my Grammy. Stop asking.

    This was a solid documentary that sheds some light on the Milli Vanilli lip sync scandal, and how it all came to be. A pretty fascinating look into how pop music is made. Sad that Rob and Fabrice essentially took the entire brunt of the fall. I, however, have been saying since day one that it’s the rain’s fault.
