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”.
Jasoco@reddit
This list is already outdated. lol
rosujin@reddit
It’s a who’s who of, “I thought he was dead.”
DonnyBoyCane@reddit
There's a county fair about 80 miles north of Orlando that probably just booked this exact lineup to perform a week later.
catperson3000@reddit
Some of these artists appeared at Madison, WI’s Bratfest this past weekend.
CharlieMoonMan@reddit
Worlds largest!
I have also performed at Brat Fest

Damn, as a lover of Brats and the lovely state of Wisconsin, I’m sad to find out, in this way, that I’ve missed a major sausage opportunity this year…I’ve got to manage my time better…
HotCollar5@reddit
This comment is unreasonably funny to me, “major sausage opportunity” and the genuine regret has me in tears
Practical-Being-1185@reddit
Omg I just realized y’all are talking about a bratwurst fest, not, like Bratz fest
catperson3000@reddit
You really need to visit it one year. It’s always Memorial Day weekend and it’s ridiculous and a blast.

I would say this might have been the line up a few yrs ago but last couple of yrs it's mostly country This lineup is missing The Bellamy Brothers, perform every yr, if it was 🍓🍧🍦🍰😂
LLPhotog@reddit
And Oak Ridge Boys! 🤣
Ok_Land_38@reddit
Omg you’re not wrong 😂

It’s one of the tour stops.

I saw the entire June 26 lineup (minus Milli Vanilli) at an "I Love the 90's" concert that we went to because the tickets were so cheap. And it sucked. Vanilla Ice tried to get the crowd to cheer for ICE.

Ah, yes, Bret Michaels, whose solo career has notably gifted us such memorable hits as:
After_Preference_885@reddit
My little millennial sister was only 17 when she met him, she had no idea who he was, but he gave her his number to "party" later. She called me and asked if I knew who he was... 😂
djsynrgy@reddit
That story ends way too soon.
Please tell me your 17yo sister did not "party" with Bret Michaels?

She didn't know who he was so she didn't go, she also didn't want to hang out with an old guy

djsynrgy@reddit
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.
Easy mistake to make.
Disastrous_Basis3474@reddit
And then there’s Sean Michaels, who is in a very different line of work.
medievalkitty2@reddit
Plus, there’s a pro wrestler named Bret Hart who was wrestling at the same time as Shawn Michaels. So it’s extra easy to get confused.
djsynrgy@reddit
The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be.

Because the poison stuff is “good”. The rest, I can’t imagine being worth a shit
cheffartsonurfood@reddit
Quick. Without googling it, name one of his solo songs.
groovemonkey@reddit

lost_horizons@reddit
That’s saddening to hear, really?
JonnyQuest1981@reddit
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.

Background_Ad2778@reddit
I'm going to disagree. Some of these groups are not "still popular " but, there songs have become ingrained in pop culture. They have become disassociated with the original artist and have become soundbites heard in commercials, at sporting events and things like that. This concert shouldn't be about the groups anyway, its about celebratin''merica!

Imagine being asked to play for this festival and you aren't important enough to list with Milli Vanilli and are instead lopped into the "many many more" category. Might as well just give up on your musical career.

AlienPrimateHybrid@reddit
Start looking into this. Many of these artists had no idea they were signed up for this event. Both Morris Day and Young MC specifically exited the event and stated they never agreed to any such show.
FandomAddict82@reddit
Alleged performers. Morris Day and the Time already confirmed they are NOT performing at this white trash wet dream.
Acceptable-Bid9473@reddit
Bunch of Z-list celebrities
HippyWizardry@reddit
Young MC canceled his performance due to the heavy MAGA focus; said he had hoped it would have been a bipartisan event (silly he even entertained the idea at all.)
dsteazy80@reddit
Incredible lineup of relevant young artists!!
Sincerely, 1990
Vivid-Individual5968@reddit
I’m looking at “Young” MC who is damn old enough to know better.
HippyWizardry@reddit
Young MC backed out and will not be performing due to the heavy Maga partisan feel of the event.
DoCanadiansevenexist@reddit
Middleaged MC
Vivid-Individual5968@reddit
He’s gonna bust a damn hip.
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!"
Can't hate the man for trying, but it wasn't a great look
twelveoverten@reddit
Comment section taking me out.
spud9mn@reddit
I guess people not from the US are ok again?
Young MC - born in the UK Milli Vanilli - born in France and Germany
iamtheCarlos@reddit
That’s spread over like two weeks? That line up might fill out a fair on a night, but each of those can’t draw a crowd alone even if these are free shows.
CurlsintheClouds@reddit
Hilarious. Martina is the only one that is a bit disappointing b/c I grew up on some of her songs, but eh. She's been largely irrelevant for ages, just like the rest of them. Hilarious.

Fredwood@reddit
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.
Tempest_Fugit@reddit
That’s amazing that the second guy made it work
thagrrrl79@reddit
Yes, they were both lip syncing, but only one was bad at singing. I believe the one that's passed was the one that could actually sing.

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.
Open_Bee2008@reddit
C+C music factory had a lip syncing scandal too. The lead female vocals was never given credit to the voice in the songs. Instead they used a lip syncing model as the vocalist. The music producers were sued.
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.
JasonGD1982@reddit
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.
Vivid-Individual5968@reddit
So like JLo.
Down-In-The-Weeds@reddit
Exactly. So they’re perfect for this.
whitedsepdivine@reddit
Fab, the one surviving front man, has performed live with the actual singer of some of the songs, John Davis.

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.

"Independence Day" was the long time theme song of Sean Hannity's radio show. That isn't without her consent. She is not our friend unfortunately.
HMTMKMKM95@reddit
If she sings Independence Day.....(shoulder slumping sigh).
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?

She had more than one DV song: Independence Day, Broken Wing (pretty sure that has a suicide too), and Concrete Angel.

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
