Despite saying she is over the drama it is obvious she is still hurt. I hope things work out for her cause she is an awesome singer.
En Vogue definitely should’ve did some fashion and cosmetic deals in the 90s
@@dominiquedevereux7205 right!
They did do a cosmetic ( makeup) commercial/ special back in the day. I have a clip of it lol
@@aleyahmckinney can you post a link of the video please? I’ve never seen it
@@aleyahmckinney thank you so much for responding🙏🏽No wonder I’ve never seen it the “shades of you” line was discontinued. I’m happy they had a makeup endorsement regardless 💅🏽
Jada Ony me too 💕💕
It’s good to hear her say she still love Cindy.
Indeed it is, they were my 2 favourites
Definitely! Cindy and Dawn are my faves.
THE HIGHLY INTELLIGENT DAWN ROBINSON. DAWN SHOULD HAVE HER OWN SHOW.
I love Dawn's positivity!!! It's exactly what we need right now!!! She is beautiful and a great talent! Can't wait for her book to come out!!!!
She looks and sounds great.
If you don't write or produce you don't really make money off record sales . You get to the bag by touring .
You are so so right. Writing ,Publishing and Producing are very lucrative. Singers get so little starting out. It makes you wonder why En Vogue did not re-negotiate better terms on the 2nd CD knowing their debut Born to Sing CD sold Millions???? They deserve the best.
She all over the place now glad she getting it out she held it in for so long
Dawn knew that you needed more than one stream of income. Most people back then were just happy to sing and have a contract. The later singers realized that you had to have other means and therefore came out with clothing lines, tv shows, etc. Actually she really didn't say anything new because even Berry Gordy had his artist doing tv shows and movies(i.e. - Mahogany, The Wiz, Lady Sings the Blues)
She makes so much sense! Original #EV4 all day nothing against any other one but a reunion is bringing back the past! If it where a high school reunion you wouldn't celebrate with the kids who just graduated you celebrate with the class you graduated with!!! #EV4 #EV30
The fact guy can’t bring yourself to write her name says more about you as a person.
Rhona.
@@BloodyMaori what are you even talking about????
@@sergiolewis9118 He crazy and unhinged , just ignore it
@@BloodyMaori right that’s weird. At this point Rhona been in the group just as long as Dawn and fans love her vocals.
She can kick rocks! Rhona Bennet sang 17 years in En Vogue and kept it going. How in the hell is she new? You were the problem child. You broke up the group twice! Rhona should sing at the 30 year anniversary MORE THAN DAWN. Black women throwing shade and trying to be above other black women make me sick. Girl you made yourself look bitter. If Lucy Pearl was so great why are you trying to kick Rhona off stage? Why didn't yall last... SE had problems there too. Girl bye!
It seems multiple times Dawn has tried to guide the other ladies to make smart business decisions, but time and time again they’ve failed to listen to her.
Multiple times is an exaggeration.
Perhaps Dawns business acumen is reflected in her output?
...biggest dummies ever. But think about the predatory managers and producers!! They're like the effin mob.
@@BloodyMaori They're all the same age range, and I think Dawn is actually the youngest of the group... so, I don't expect her to be the most mature and wisest one of the group. Nevertheless, she had the good sense to be offended by 2 cents per record and to advise them to band together and boot out the predatory management and production team.
Boy can she cuss. I like it.
I have 3 of those 5 songs and they are bomb! I love Dawn!
She had so many great ideas❤️ and the group left so many dollars on the table. Dawn, don’t feel bad about not grabbing those deals. I grew up where college degrees were praised and owning a business was “too hard.” Now, I want to own a business. I think just we’re taught to be workers and not owners.
Love her
She seems to be able to talk about the EV and be in a positive headspace, she understands what she’s brought to the industry but is still enthusiastic about continuing to entertain her fans (whatever that may be)
For the sake of argument, let's say Dawn was right about everything she professes. The million dollar question is why didn't her paramount solo career take off since she left 23 years ago?
She got eclipsed by other singers
@@kelamo7067 by your logic, the same can also be said about Beyonce 🙄
Her failed solo career doesn't change the bad business decisions and poor representation which ultimately led up to the group's implosion.
@@kevinniles8781 thanks for that opinion but it wasn't the question.
@@prepress3057I said "failed solo career". That wasn't enough? LOL.
Great interview!
I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS KICKED OUT!
It's a shame how they keep this info a secret for sooooo looooong... I didn't know either 🤔
Dawn said she was fired twice, first in 1997 and 2nd after their first reunion in 2008?. What I was suprised was that Maxine was fired the first time arouned according to Dawn!! so much ☕☕☕☕
And En Vogue Craze actually still posted this interview. Lol
They knew dawn would blow up as a solo artist , They were hating on her. That's what Terry meant when she said its different.
Nah, from what I understand she had an "outside" deal with Dr. DRE. Hence the "hidden agendas" comment she references during the meeting with Sylvia Rhone.. Terry's solo deal was in-house.
@@awlready25 Youre not listening or dont know the history. They both had inside deals that neither her nor Terry told the other girls about. She didnt go to Dre until after she left EV
@@missfoxx4188 Correct. She also stated that she wanted out of her solo deal because she had as Sylvia said, "..an outside agenda". From what I understand Terry's album morphed into a solo effort from an original album slated for EV.
...meaning she had an ulterior motive to leave the group, or at minimum go outside of the label for her solo work. IMO: she chose the wrong lane.
@@missfoxx4188 You don’t know the history.
Renegotiations for what would become EV3 took so long, Terry recorded the solo record. All 4 girls had the option of doing a solo record. Dawn was mad her was put on hold because the third En Vogue record was the priority.
I agree with Dawn concerning the beautiful and very talented Rhona Bennett. I love that Sangin Sister 💯 However, it’s about the Originals all in good health and VOICE. These Queens deserve to get paid. All 4 four💯
But Dawn has been wronged considering everything. And she still gave us Reunions I just knew we wouldn’t see. So that’s a game player and has 2020 Vision because she knows the worth Together! Yes Dawn voice is one to be Respected but so are the other ladies. But what Dawn voice brings to the group gives the edge. You need Edge in 2020-...........
Let’s all pray genuinely to allow the ladies to see the vision🙏🏾#Together #RhonashouldhaveaFeatureontheAlbum #ButtheOriginal
I was hoping you caught Dawn and I interview on IG live because it didn’t save the full recording 😫😩😫 but i love y’all page ❤️🙏🏿
That’s sad that she got tearful at the end
What time?
@@kelamo7067 51:05
Its so dissapointing that those girls didn't stand up with her..Dawn was so right.. They should of gotten paid..They were at the top with Free Your Mind..those girls are ridiculous.. Fighting over a name you dont use after all this time..smh..I'm so with you Dawn. Always have been..I have your CD..Still love it Dawn... 10,000.00 is nothing..those 3 had beauty. But, definitely no brains..
It is so funny how no matter how many stories these artist tell about record companies doing them dirty. Ya'll still blame the artist. " maybe it's the industry and the environment that is sick... not the artist" Dave Chappelle.
Dawn, if you read this, I have one request. A piece of PR advice. Stop calling it "an autobiographical book" Call it, your "autobiography"
Autobiography, the biography of oneself narrated by oneself. 🤓
Definition📚
Autobiographical works can take many forms, from the intimate writings made during life that were not necessarily intended for publication (including letters, diaries, journals, memoirs, and reminiscences) to a formal book-length autobiography.
Dawn saids her book she is writing is autobiographical…, there is a difference.. Kudos! to Dawn Robinson, a highly intelligent woman and no doubt knows the difference in an autobiography and her book that’s autobiographical ! 😉
Most 90’s record contracts were trash. Most were signed to a production deal who was then signed to a label. So it’s like an artist being signed to another artist and by the time that money trickles down you are literally left with pennies. In her case 2 cents per album.
Dawn is great, but leave Rona alone , Envouge will never sell big numbers of music anymore, more like a touring group these days . Rona is beautiful classy and fits in the group. I don't think it would work with the original 4 it's to much Drama between them...
I was hoping they would reunite with all 5, then everybody wins.....
@@kenritch3941 that will never happen, it seems Dawn doesn't like Rona much
The main reason dawn’s album didn’t do well is because she didn’t want it to. She wanted to be let out of her contract so she told people not to buy it and didn’t promote it. many didn’t even know it existed. I remember this time very well
I like Dawn but for her to say that she would only consider a reunion if Rona steps back is absolutely disrespectful.
Rona has been holding down the 3rd harmony in the group for years now. Unreasonable and wrong of her to suggest.
@@LIVEFRMNYC Never even knew it was a "Dawn" replacement. 🤔
She can kick rocks! Rhona Bennet sang 17 years in En Vogue and kept it going. You were the problem child. Rhona should sing at the 30 year anniversary MORE THAN YOU. Black women throwing shade and trying to be above other black women make me sick. Girl you made yourself look bitter. If Lucy Pearl was so great why are you trying to kick Rhona off stage? Girl bye!
I totally agree with your assessment of Dawn and her attitude toward Rhonda Bennet singing at the 30 year anniversary.
