this song reminds me of the NZ R&B Group MaVElle-lavinas runs were tight just like maxees, they used to perform this song around the way in Sth Auckland, i think they even sang I cant tell you why a couple times
damn this is a mad dig up the original brownstone that was the last video that mimi was in man I use to think maxee and mimi were fyne!!! I wonder how she looks now maxee is still lookin good shout out to nicci too!!! lol damn those were the dayz!!!
I remember back in 94 i bought Brownstones first Cd from the Bottom up i remember reading the credits like the Producers the people who helped put the Cd together it said Mj Productions and i said Micheal Jackson discoverd this girls he knows talent and in the booklet that comes the cd case with the pictures of the group it said micheal jackson name that man knows real talent big ups to micheal jackson
Hello Chocolatevixen, with you all the way! I was the same. I had bags of videotapes from my MTV Amour with Camilla days and the Box as well when it used to play proper videos like this! I haven't heard this remix in a good while. I forgot how different it was from the original.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm not feeling this remix. Original is the better and only version. Michael Jackson was producing their debut album. I loved them sooooo much. Pity they did not last. This was proper RnB back then.
This remix was heavy... I totally forgot about this remix wit craig mac... And I remeber that show amour on MTV the only source of r & b back in the day before we had mtv base and all the rest... love it!!!
ummm....no...only two of the original memebers of Brownstine could sing and thats Nicki and Maxi, which is why Mimi was replaced. She couldn't keep up with them.
You may have a point there. I always thought she was struggling when she was singing her part on Grapevyne.
As for Mimi leaving the group, I read does anyone know the real reason. I read different stories.. some mentioned cat fights and tension between the group members others mentioned Mimi's bronchitis.
the wikipedia page says the other girls thought she couldn't compete vocally and that the whole thing about her having bronkitis was a tongue in cheek diss that she has weak lungs...lol....there was really nothing wrong with her at all. She is a elementary school teacher now..lol
You need to read the wikipedia page dude. Mimi chose to leave the group by going on BET and saying it was illness. She did not want the drama of saying it was because of strife. She and I went to HS together so I know.
That is so crazy I always wondered what REALLY happened to her. I did an interview with the Group for a youth magzine when I was in Highschool, when they 1st came out and got to have one on one time with each member. I gotta say that Mimi was sooo sweet! I was so surprised when a statement came out about her having throat issues and how she would be working in the Groups Fan Club! I was like, that's some Bull! I didn't believe it it for a second. That sucks they treated her so bad in the end.
As someone very close to Mimi, I'm telling you she CAN sing. She is classically trained, can sing jazz, r&b, whatever. She left the group because she and the other girls did not get along and the music company did not have her back. That's it.
Well I met her way back in the day and she was so sweet! If you speak to her let her know that original fans still remember appreciate her contributions to the group.
That's a lie. All the members could sing. If "Grapevyne" isn't evidence enough for you that Mimi can indeed sing, listen to "Don't Cry for Me" or "Deeper Feelings" or hell, any other song of theirs where she's tearing the background up. Nicci and Maxee can't hit those high notes that she can.
Doesn't make any sense 2 me though. I mean it took them recording an entire album with her all over it, 4 videos, TV appearances, Promo Tours & other shows, & after all that they thought she couldn't keep up?! I smell a rat, all I can say is: live by the sword, die by the sword. Where are two others now? I heard they also tried 2 pull th@ switcharoo beef on Kina as well! And this was before Destiny's Child! Diana Ross had all these chicks losing their minds switchin up the line up and stuff. lol
no kina left because of creative differences, she wanted to do her own thing musically as can be seen with her song girl from the gutter. she's like a rock singer now.
i found this cut a few years ago and this past july 4th pulled this out and the crowd went wild!!! The young people thought this was a new group out and when I told them this was the real 90's music they all wanted copies!!! Go Brownstone... sure do miss you
This version appears on both "I can't tell you why" Single and Maxi single.. The maxi single aslo has the intrumental.. I am still looking for the grapevne maxi single
i remember this shit
