disco008a@reddit

This has to be the administration seeing how much crap they can set out and have the bootlickers lick, right? Like no one in charge of this is going, “wow, what an amazing lineup!” No matter how out of touch they might be, this is just made to be a “show us your loyalty by supporting this drivel”.

Shawn Michaels is a professional wrestler who is considered by many to be one of the best of all time. Bret Michaels is a singer who isn't considered by many.

I'm being facetious. If you recall, Smash Mouth preformed at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally during the first summer of COVID and it was a super spreader event. Their lead singer also died a few years ago, so I was jumping on the joke here with another band who's lead singer has passed away and maybe the surviving members have felt left out of this lineup of has-beens.

I'm going to disagree. Some of these groups are not "still popular " but, there songs have become ingrained in pop culture.

This concert shouldn't be about the groups anyway, its about celebratin''merica!

Remarkable_Ease_7607@reddit

I saw him perform a few years ago at one of those old school shows, bunch of artists, no real headliner. He was looking a little overweight in a track suit. Played the hit(s) and then said "I'm gonna do one of my new songs".

Started off something like "I'm back y'all! I'm back y'all! I'm back y'all!"

I mean, weren't they famously bad singers who got caught lip syncing?

[-]

trcharles@reddit

They actually could sing, which is the saddest part. Rob Pilatus died on an overdose.

[-]

whitedsepdivine@reddit

They weren't allowed to sing. They fought with the producers to allow them to sing on their new album, and the producer turned around and outed them.

They did release their own album that flopped hard, under "Rob and Fab". Their single was too explicit and crude, not to mention just bad. https://youtu.be/w_Ewv7TxRdc

They were going to go on tour with a second album, but Rob ODed and the album was never released. It is considered lost media now.

Afterwards Fab learned to sign and has mastered the OG Milli Vanilli songs, covering both singer's voices. https://youtu.be/ogX8s2HsO2A

Fab has actually song on stage with the original singer of some of the songs as well. https://youtu.be/6BYdTiFAo7A

Note: On the OG Milli Vanilli album, not every song were sang by the same people.

[-]

imnottheoneipromise@reddit

Wow! He really does sound better than the original. Their album was my very first tape I got for Christmas when I was about 6. I LOVED milli vanilli and could not understand why they went away.

Just-Try-2533@reddit

It’s not just that he “passed”. He committed suicide because he couldn’t live with the guilt and shame. It’s actually tragic.

[-]

whitedsepdivine@reddit

No he ODed.

It had nothing to due with guilt and shame. He went from being on top of the world to having nothing. The record company used them. Then didn't even pay them anything cause they never sang a song.

Rob was depressed. In all the interviews I've seen of them guilt and shame wasn't it. They wanted to prove themselves, but could never live up to what they once were.

[-]

Just-Try-2533@reddit

Omg. You’re right. Absolutely my bad.

[-]

Pandoras_Fate@reddit

Con artists. Yes. It tracks.

[-]

whitedsepdivine@reddit

It really wasn't their fault. It was the producer, Frank Farian, fault. He promised them to teach them the songs and to allow them to sing. Rob and Fab were just along for the ride. Farian already had the tracks before Rob and Fab were involved.

When Rob and Fab fought to have some vocals on their own albums, Farian outed them. Rob and Fab got all the backlash, when Farian was the mastermind.

[-]

Open_Bee2008@reddit

C+C music factory the producers had a lip sync scandal too. They hired a model as the lead singer and the female vocals were a recorded track and they didn’t give credit to the real singer.

massunderestmated@reddit

They weren't singers at all. They were dancers pretending to sing. Neither of their voices were on the recordings.

[-]

whitedsepdivine@reddit

They were singers. They just were not fluent in English.

When they were originally being taught to sing the songs, after their outing, you can see them adding phonetic notes of how to say the English words.

Lots of Millie Vanillie misinfo still out there smh. I liked them when they came out. I use to listen to "girl you know it's true on repeat". I wish it would have worked out for them differently. If they had today's technology and equipment they could have made it work.

Per chatGPT:

Here’s the rough “peak mainstream popularity” year for each act — not necessarily their artistic peak, but the moment they were most culturally ubiquitous:

Martina McBride — 1999 Around “I Love You” / “Independence Day” era and major crossover success.

Young MC — 1989 “Bust a Move” was enormous that year.

C+C Music Factory — 1991 Peak of “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now).”

Vanilla Ice — 1990 “Ice Ice Baby” became a cultural phenomenon.

Milli Vanilli — 1989 Grammy win and massive radio dominance before the scandal broke.

The Commodores — 1978 Late-70s run with Lionel Richie still in the band; “Three Times a Lady” era.

Morris Day and The Time — 1984 Tied heavily to the Purple Rain moment.

Flo Rida — 2008 “Low” absolutely dominated pop culture.

Bret Michaels — 1988 (with Poison) Or arguably 2007 for solo reality-TV fame during Rock of Love. Music peak was definitely late ’80s Poison.

This lineup feels like someone built a state fair entirely from “artists people aged 45–65 will instantly recognize from one song.

imapepper81@reddit

Problem is, I don’t even know if she CAN sing it anymore. Look up some recent performances of hers. That once powerful voice has bid us all farewell. She spends most of the performances nowadays trying desperately to stretch her voice up to some of those old impressive notes and it just… doesn’t really work.

[-]

VioletVenable@reddit

Ugh, I was sitting here thinking, wasn’t her biggest hit about domestic violence?

They didn't give Martha Wash credit for singing the hook on "Everybody Dance Now" -- they swapped in a model for the video, because heaven forbid a singer be fat. I think they suck ass just for that. But maybe that was the bad C and the one you like is the good C.

[-]

rockstarspood@reddit

Freedom Williams (the main 'rapper' for them) is on record saying 'he'd rather look at Zelma [the model stand-in for Wash] onstage' which sums up their whole shallow manufactured image perfectly.

Also I know Zelma COULD sing and she was unfairly scapegoated for this whole thing, but she couldn't sing like Wash. That woman could (and still can) fucking belt

What's sad to me is that I'm sure some quality acts want to perform and love America but also want nothing to do with the scam artist in the White House who has to make everything about himself rather than our country.

Vanilla Ice just being brought out to be the anthem for rounding up people is absolutely disgusting. I’ve lost a lot of faith in the American people. Rights are being violated and people have been murdered in cold blood. And some of my fellow countrymen celebrate by singing “ice ice baby”. It’s beyond the pale. A civilized country doesn’t behave this way. It’s sick.

At first I thought this was the Mall of America and I loved it. Then I realized my mistake. I’m sad for my country.

This would be a terrible line up no matter what year it is

Why hi all the way to DC when I could just wait for the county fair to come to me?

kryts@reddit

That’s a recession indicator line up

Rinleigh@reddit

Gross. Side note- all I think of when Vanilla Ice gets mentioned is on MTV they had a “worst videos of all time” special with John Stewart and Janeane Garofalo and Vanilla Ice came on and they gave him a hammer and he smashed the video. Someone yelled “Vanilla no!!!!!” I still quote that 20+ years later

I would like to celebrate our nation’s big anniversary without thinking too deeply about the current state of the nation. I’d like to think these performers are celebrating the nation and not the current administration.

16Shells@reddit

honestly less white than i would have expected. star power is about right though.

someguyfromsk@reddit

It's the "We are DESPERATE for a paycheck festival" lineup.

How do they manage to get the biggest losers every single time.

That's must Milli. Vanilli has, sadly, passed away.

Yes, indeed. My kids repeat this line. 💀

trainwreckhappening@reddit

I used to work with a guy who showed up to the company picnic wearing that same outfit that you see Bret Michaels wearing. We all knew him as Fat Bret Michaels.

Global-Jury8810@reddit

They billed Fab Morvan as Milli Vanilli by himself.

Vanilli is dead though.
Will Vanilla Ice be standing in?

Not even. My local Ribfest has had better acts than this. They even had Vertical Horizon! 😁

Can’t wait to see who the “many more” are, since this is their big names.

sunnyd311@reddit

I'm actually very surprised at the amount of brown people in this lineup...and also the absence of Kid Rock...

zoominzacks@reddit

It’s sad, when I was a kid I thought they were so cool. A lot of my music and movie tastes came from them. Now I look at them and am just like…….wtf happened?

[-]

faptastrophe@reddit

It's the loud ones that give us all a bad name. Those of us who stayed cool don't feel the need to shout about it.

[-]

TiEmEnTi@reddit

Careful, Gen X doesn't care about anything, unless there's the smallest fraction of opportunity to be personally offended

[-]

zoominzacks@reddit

If they stopped drinking from the garden hose long enough to pay attention to anything. They’d be pissed about that comment.

[-]

SadPhase2589@reddit

This reads like a who’s who of human crap..

[-]

imnojezus@reddit

Think of how amazing this celebration could have been. Instead they had to dig a hole under the bottom of the barrel for this lineup.

[-]

J9mortician@reddit

This looks like a C list of people that would compete together on a reality show.

There's a handful of those I'd actually be interested in seeing, but....I mean...for the 250 year celebration?

Milli Vanilli? One is dead, they're not American, and there's the whole lip syncing controversy

How embarrassing for all of them

[-]

punky100@reddit

the great american STATE fair????

No. As a Minnesotan, the place with the BEST state fair, this is not even close.

Also, I will watch the Rifftrax of Cool As Ice instead of watching this.

So many Milli Vanilli jokes about fraud....

Desperation and Irrelevance all wrapped up in one show.

I'm guessing we're gonna be reading stories in August about how none of them got paid

I'll see myself out.

Jokes aside, it's so appropriate nothing but fakes and has-beens are performing at this.
