Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

MODERATORS
Has ANYONE actually heard Milli Vanilli?
their name is pretty much synonymous with the biggest lip-syncing scandal in pop culture history.
Unpopular opinion but as a collective artistic project I have no real issue with their music. And in fact, it's quite good. Yeah sure their presentation was dishonest but I'd argue no more than modern auto tuned artists.
I mean, tbf to Milli Vanilli, they dropped out. In fact, their response was something along the lines of "we never signed up for this shit"
Hasn't the group only been one guy since the other one died in 1998?
The denial of involvement was from vocalists Jodi and Linda Rocco
Several artists said that they were never even asked.
I hear what you did there
Girl you know girl you know girl you know…
Isn't it just Milli now? I thought Vanilli offed himself. Or maybe it's the other way around. It would be disingenuous if one of them claimed to be a Milli or a Vanilli, when they aren't. Girl, you know it's true.
Milli Vanillus. It's Latin.
I think they got someone else to off themselves for them.
Yeah in the press conference after being busted for lip-synching one of them (fab or rob or gab or throb or whatever, idk) sang to prove he could.
I mean, yeah, it was fine. Whatever. The quality of the vocals wasn’t my main problem with them.
