What Happened To Pop Girl Group Dream? | Diddy Strikes Again?!

- čas přidán 21. 03. 2021
- The girl groups and boy bands of the 90’s and early 2000’s hold a particularly special place in the hearts of fans that grew up in those eras. Some came together organically and some were manufactured by industry professionals. Some never made it on the charts at all and some rose all the way to number 1...or number 2 in this case. Dream was one of the lucky ones. The quartet achieved immediate success from the moment their debut single dropped but, they weren’t able to surpass or even maintain that achievement and quickly faded into obscurity. Let’s find out whatever happened to pop girl group Dream.

Never deal with puff. He's the kiss of death in music careers
Yep most end up in jail or dead, or both.
Facts!
When you say Kiss of Death.......you mean Jadakiss?
And jAzie and his wife
West coast road to wrestlemaina
They were the 1st DANITY KANE. 😊😊👍🏽👍🏽 memories.
No they were not. Not even close.
@@cameronrobinson7400 he screwed Danity Kane harder, Dream unfortunately was part of that 1998-2002 pop wave 🌊 and the reason why I say it was unfortunate is the music industry has this thing every few years “let’s sign all these groups and make some money” Typical.
@@cameronrobinson7400 Yes they were. Shut up!! If you don't like it keep it pushing. Dream was his 1st experiment of a all white female group. Than alone came dainty kane with two blk girls throwed in the mix.
@@glassbikes the girls even said it wasn't the same 😂😂😂😂
@@jeraldisme boy it was the same. Shut tf up.🤣🤣🤣 he tried to recreate another dream.
Diddy pushed these women to lose weight and workout so much but he never looked buff like LL Cool J or had abs like Usher. He should have practiced what he preached! The women were at least in as good of shape as he was.
@ben yosep He was a rapper that was on tv all the time
I still believe they should've join Ruff Ryders because DMX would've been the big brother and father figure to protect them and Eve would've been the big sister because she's was and still is the pitbull under the skirt and signed to LaFace Records
Well, when you're the boss, you can lay down the law and if you don't like it.....there's the DOOR!!! G'bye!
Yes, those are the different standards that women have to go through, and not just within the music industry
He also was gross to the danity kane girls,a FUCKING trash
They were actually good and their harmonies were amazing!! Underrated and under appreciated
Totally
"This is Me" was and still is the jam! Timeless.
I like the remix
This Is Me is definitely a forever bop!
I honestly love the remix more than the original! Back when remixes were a completely different song>>>
Yesssss mine too 🔥🎯🔥
Woman, you are doing WORK with these investigative pieces on unsung artists. Thank you. And once again, yet ANOTHER group who sells platinum out the box, only to never be able to follow it up!! The record industry was truly broken in terms of its business model.
Lol @ "investigative pieces"
Diddy doesn't support his artists. I just am glad the girls are happy and healthy and living normal lives.
I still believe they should've join Ruff Ryders because DMX would've been the big brother and father figure to protect them and Eve would've been the big sister because she's was and still is the pitbull under the skirt and signed to LaFace Records
Most people don't realise that within the industry, there are so many groups like Dream that sign deals, go on a few tours and then get shelved. It happens so often.
The stunners(the group with tinashe and hayley kiyoko 🗣️🗣️)
I don't remember them at all, but I do know all about "The Bad Boy Curse."
Apparently the only people that dont know about the bad boy curse are these four chicks!!!🤣🤣🤣
@@fresh87best94 lmao 🤣
Yet one of my friend brother with his mates are meeting with diddy. They got warned. But ya know so many want them records deals. Am it caring to know how all goes. Mase has been trying to buy his songs rights. Sean sold them to some European.
How artists go to Bad Boy and do nothing but spiral afterwards? Danity Kane did all that barking and ended up punching each other, filing police reports, throwing shade on the Breakfast Club, losing a member mid-tour and not to mention a name change.
it shoudl be the diddy curse
This was a Diddy special. He signs these acts and then shelves them. Never to release much music, then disappear back to normal life. I remember them on TRL all optimistic, and I thought they don't know what's coming. Mase and Big are the only 2 artist to prosper there
I would say Big and Lil Kim are the only two artists to prosper with him because he screwed Mase over too.
Sometime last year when Diddy was on social media, Mase jumped in the comments and aired him out and basically said how he promised he could buy back his masters for one price--but then when Mase got the money together Diddy raised the price. He also said how Diddy didn't pay him what he owed him.
I said Kim did well with Diddy-- but that's only because if he ever did anything shady with Kim she never said anything about it like all the other artists he did dirty.
@@greatgownsbeautifulgowns I also think that once Diddy became an artist and started rapping, he didn't want anyone else to overshadow him. It was all intentional. Mase did good in the sense that he became famous in his own right. I don't think Diddy liked it.
@@D1Snr
I didn't even think of it that way, but now that you said it that sounds about right that he wouldn't want to share his shine once he started rapping.
I never understood why Eightball & MJG signed to Puff....
The same girls were dropped so what happened? Did he “Space Jam” their talent into a mic?
The way celebrity women’s weight was monitored back in the day makes me cringe. I remember wanting to be so thin like them and they weren’t even eating!!! So sad. Let’s stop policing women’s bodies in 2021 and beyond.
Back in the day? Have you seen ariana g? She’s a walking skeleton, ain’t nobody like that in the 00s. Maybe Celine Deion but she’s tall
@@raydn23 I mean, Ariana Grande is like 5'0 and naturally skinny. She isn't starving herself to get thin so I don't get why you brought her up.
@@thecerealguy she is definitely in a very strict diet
@@andrewquick4176 nah, I would agree if Ariana was overweight in the past but she was always skinny so I don't think she is trying to maintain being thin. I don't know why people can't understand that some people are just naturally skinny, just like some people are naturally bigger-sized and leave it at that.
@@raydn23 I feel like you completely missed my point about policing women's bodies lol as long as she's HEALTHY, there's nothing wrong with her being a skeleton. These girls were thin and not eating at all. That's a problem. AG looks good. Everyone's bodies are different.
Soon as I heard diddy... I knew it would end bad.
Where is the artist formally known as( puff Diddy p did puff daddy Sean p Diddy )..( missing any?? ) Anyway??
How it a legal for a teenager to sign a contract without a parental guardian signature?
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking...
well that same thing one can say for murphy lee (from the rap group st. st lunatics) as he was a teenager
I think that was the only reason Jojo was able to get out of her nightmare contract, because she was a minor at the time of signing
The parents were there he didn't want them to have a lawyer look over the contracts
@@kaylawarner5334 But Jojo signed a contract where it stated that her voice was the label’s property. She could not use her voice and make money off of it. It was a horror contract. Her and her mom almost lived in poverty and signed the contract when Jojo was only 13.
I remember them... "he loves me, he loves you not..." and that video they did in a dessert back in MTV/TRL days
That song was called "Crazy"...it features rapper Loon
@@REDST5 Yes that's it, thanks !
The desert and the neon rooms were staples of every video back then lol
That’s shill my song 💕
And their cribs episode lol. Them, destiny’s child and 3LW
It Was All A Dream will always be my favorite album of the Bad Boy era.
mines to i feel dream brought pop music into the urban label and add different flavor
mines too i felt dream brought pop music into the hip hop and rnb label
💯💯 🎶 🎵
It’s that bad boy curse man.. no one every gets to that second album. And if they do the end up falling out horribly. The only group that made it beyond 2 albums was 112 and that ended horrible as well.
Very true.
You can still find the second album on here
Yea 112 made it to 3 albums then by 4th album hot and wet, and that was a co album with Def jam it was shaky by that point
Janelle Monáe has 3 albums and her last one was Grammy nominated. IJS
@@angelminaj617 Janelle monae is a lil different she was discovered by Kim porter maybe that makes a difference...and Janelle seems alot smarter than the average performer imo
I saw their reunion tour with other acts in Vegas via MTV beach party style at the Mandalay. They really stood out because the other acts always tour. Yet Dream was stand out. I hope they continue that sisterhood no matter if they're a group or not. It's magnetic n relatable to not just artists; but people who love seeing such bonding n longtime loyalty.
Being in a girl group and boy bands now will be very hard unless you are a korean kpop group.
It's extremely difficult on Kpop members as well. Read the stories.
Dream was everything & I bought the "Ashley" doll just cause we had the same name lol I still have it in perfect condition in the box but my fav was Melissa. Diddy kills another career again... #mychildhood
I was such a fanboy of Dream. I love and still bop to their album It Was All a Dream. I remember always stopping by the Virgin Megastore in Times Sq to see if they finally released their second album Reality. I remember the clerk saying along the lines of a lot of people were asking of the album.
Their "Reality" album was really good. I think it's still uploaded somewhere on here, if you haven't had a chance to listen.
Oooooh.
@@jess_a_yo I made sure I bought and downloaded it when it became available on iTunes back in 2008.
It was actually on Apple Music up until last year.
🎶You can pout your cherry lips
Try to tempt him with a sweet kiss
You can flirt your pretty eyes
He ain't got his hands tied
No chains to unlock
So free to do what he wants
He's into what, he's got
He loves me, he loves you not
Ayyy, that’s my song 🎧 🎶🎶
The group had potential
🎼🎶🎤this is the remix
Oh Boy Im not the one who broke your heart before.
And I dnt want to make you hurt anymore
She had you pulling out your hair against the wall
And baby that's not me at all
CHORUS
Compare to see we're different as can be
She and I are not alike
So dont compare her to ME
Doesn't matter what happened then
With me you have a friend for life
You should know that
That is her
And baby this is ME.
This was my joint reminds me of when me and my ex husband and father of my kids was first dating to be 16 again
Sounds like It's Gonna Be Me.
@@rnbsteenstar it’s the remix to their song this is me ft p Diddy 😂 u said it’s going to be me *NSYNC
I love this song 😂 i listen to it so many times back to back still lol
Still don’t get the whole Puff-Daddy/P-Diddy name change. So random to me.
Puffy, Puff, Puff Daddy, P Diddy , Diddy, Love, Brother Love
Diddy, enough said.
It seems 9/11 changed the trajectory of a lot of artists' careers. I remember Dream was quite popular when I was in middle school and they were all over TRL the first half of 2001. I loved their album at the time. I never knew Melissa was replaced after that - or anything about the later years except Melissa's allegations against Nick Carter. I also didn't know Diana wasn't an original member. Interesting. And sad that they were tortured to get the bodies that they had.
@@logicalchaos0142 I'm sure it would have too, considering the eventual trajectory away from the type of music they were making. But a lot of scheduled releases, appearances, tours, etc. were postponed or canceled altogether in the aftermath of 9/11. The event definitely hastened the demise of some acts. Although, with Dream, I don't even remember the context of my original comment, so I dunno, lol.
@@logicalchaos0142 I didn't say pop wasn't popular. Pop music *evolved*, as it always does. Britney and Christina evolved in a way that preserved their relevance. Many pop acts didn't. There are countless examples of this. But I get what you're saying about Diddy.
@@logicalchaos0142 I know what I said in my original comment, I meant I don't remember the details of the video that prompted the comment. But go off, though. And have a nice day.
I remember when the 2nd album was supposed to come out and Then the day came and it was nowhere to be found...I was soo upset lol
I don't care what anyone says, that bubblegum pop era was dope back in the early 00s lol
Dream was a fav group of mine! “He Loves Me” is still on my iPhone as we speak.
where is edens crush. reminded me of dream. any one signed to bad boy. you have a shelf life of two weeks
Edens Crush were on London-Sire records not Bad Boy
Oh. Fergie was in that group. I kinda remember them being on the Jenny Jones show.
@@britanyhayes85 Fergie was a member of the trio "Wild Orchid". She wasn't a member of Eden's Crush, but Nicole Scherzinger was. Nicole was originally chosen to be the new singer in the Black Eyed Peas, but couldn't join because of her boyfriend at the time. The group went with Fergie instead and the rest is history.
@@KeigosWife617 you are so right. Thanks for the reminder. There was supposed to be another lady too. But she didn't join for reasons. We all know she didn't want to do other stuff to be famous
@@britanyhayes85 You're more than welcome. There's a video on CZcams about the original singer of the Black Eyed Peas, but I don't remember her name at the moment.
Wow....that’s crazy! Didn’t see that bombshell coming at the end!
Girl!!! Me tooooo - my mouth is still on the floor... but also - I’m getting ready to research the hell outta that ...
Good.
I remember that "He Loves U Not" sounding like "It's Gonna Be Me" in the chorus. Now, check the harmonies.
This is Diddy’s group so of course it wasn’t original
Yeah..there r some similarities
I remember them, I was in middle school.,. “He loves you not” was in heavy rotation especially where I lived in the suburbs!
I love them I remember them I still listen to their music
I recently discovered them like a year or 2 ago, “he loves you not” came on my shuffle and went down a rabbit hole of getting into them, sadly there wasn’t much to get into as they had like one album and not many live performances
I love their music; their soulful and cute harmonies were on point-impressive for such young ladies! I still listen to their debut CD that I bought 20 years ago when I was 10! I feel for them, but I wish them success and happiness! 🙌🏽👏🏽🍀✨💕💜
“This is me” remix is forever a favorite!
Dream was and still is one of my favorite groups hands down!! I hate that they had to succumb to the Bad Boy Curse. Ugh! If they had lasted just a little bit longer, then we might not have gotten Danity Kane; or if we did, it would be some stiff competition because Dream was lit with their music.And Reality was such an underrated album and so were their unreleased songs.
I love Dream! That album is something I still listen to today. My favorite songs are Pain, Angel Inside and What We Gonna Do About Us.
I love Dream still to this day! I was so excited for their second album "Reality" and the release date came and went and no album... and then we never heard anything from them for YEARS. Social media wasn't big at the time so it was hard for them to tell fans what was going on. I remember checking Dream's official site for years wondering where they were and where the album was. I wish TRL had gotten the girls on to speak back then!
This song should’ve been #1 I freaking love Dream! Melissa was pretty asf tbh
You are very thorough in your research. Your delivery and pacing are perfect. I have been watching these videos all day. Thank you!
I remember having their first album on cassette ‼️
I still listen to there music 🎶😍
I remember those beautiful girls 😍
🙄 Lol
i baaaarely remember them. They do look familiar
Lol
Can you do Paula Deanda??
Their album “It Was All A Dream” has absolutely no skips.
I’m glad they didn’t fall on hard times,and prospered being regular.
one would think that with many of the stories we hear about artists being screwed over by the label, the one thing they would at least do is hire an entertainment attorney (outside the label) before signing anything. I guess not 🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾
Could they afford one tho?
@@nancykerrigan hiring an attorney is not cheap, some can charge $2,000 or more
The music producer gave them an ultimatum, if they sign right away without their attorney present, they get the gig. If not, they're out of the group. As 15 yr old members, they folded and signed.
I always felt that Holly looked like Gloria Estefan.
Me too!!!
me too
I used to love them! I still bump their first album! I remember hearing their first single on the radio and waiting for their first video. I always thought of them as the original Danity Kane!
I remember them. Still love that song "He loves you not" or whatever it's called. Lol a childhood/adulthood fave till this day!
It always bothered me as a kid that the one Latina member was shoved to the background of videos and we barely saw her, and to learn that she was also gay?? The 2000’s were wild.
No chains to unlock so free to do what he wants. He’s into what he’s got...He loves me, He loves you not!🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
That was my jam!!💯💃🏼
The channel is everything 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bad boy should have been able to get their second album out. Diddy dropped the ball
Their first album was so good, omg.
i love dream im huge fan pop and rnb music but at the same time they stay true to there self
They were the first concert I ever got to go to, it was at Six Flags lol, I got to meet them in person outside the Chinese restaurant in my town! Sad to see the 90’s groups that didn’t make it
The Puff Daddy curse
Diddy was a part of this. Wow. Enough said.
This was my group; I loved them. I still love their albums to this day!
They take me back to my middle school days!!
This is so great. Can you do one of the 90's / early 2000's girl group M2M?!!!
The reality show trailer was actually really good💜
I still believe they should've join Ruff Ryders because DMX would've been the big brother and father figure to protect them and Eve would've been the big sister because she's was and still is the pitbull under the skirt and signed to LaFace Records
Ahh yes the white destiny's child
Yup
Exactly right
Never don’t even compare the two
Girl, no lol
No
Their gruesome experience before debuting sounds a lot like the kpop industry to me. Kpop really is just a more refined, more advanced version of the 90s/2000s girl groups and boy bands era.
Let's be real , Diddy was trying to reinvent New Kids on The Block except with girls, this was attempted before with late 80's group Good 2 Go ,except those white girls actually had pipes. And don't forget Boy Krazy or Wild Orchid(Fergie's pre Black eyed peas group)
5:43 To quote Lindsay Ellis: Welcome to a brand new edition of 9/11 ruined everything.
I’m literally BLASTING it was all a dream in my car and I was like what happened to these girls ?? Thanks for making a video
The late 90’s and early 2000’s groups were so good, NSYNC was my first concert. I don’t think we’ll ever have that again. I never believed Melissa’s story about nick carter. It came and went.
Nsync were unique. They were known to put on an incredible show. I agree that you will not see a scene like that again. Social media has had a huge impact so the whole innocence aspect has gone.
@@D1Snr definitely
If anybody was to see the video to "Crazy," it's pretty cringeworthy. The girls are dressed in a way to look sexy, but they were clearly uncomfortable in dressing that way as well as doing their suggestive dance moves.
0:56-10:00 I NEVA knew ANY of dis.
Their rendition of N.E's "Mr. Telephone Man" is STILL TIGHT!!
The fact that they wouldn't let one of the girls lawyers look at the contract before signing should've been a huge red flag to the other girls....Diddy is known for destroying careers, and the fact that MTV decided to have another Making the Band season with him just makes me feel sorry for the guys/girls who are going to audition and have no idea how bad it's going to be for those who get chosen career wise.... I hope they all get their own lawyers to read the contract before they sign.... Otherwise Diddy is going to get all the money like he always does....
The blonde girl from Love Don’t Cost A Thing with Nick Canon and Christina Milian
Melissa
Very interesting, thank you for the video.
I STILL listen to Dream!!!!
My only pop CD I bought.. no brittany, no christina... them and them only...
Dream was going to be my first concert when I was in the 4th grade. I was going to go to the concert after school and the 9/11 attack happened, and the concert was canceled! I never had the opportunity for a Dream concert again!
Woah
Hope they get back together for a reunion like brownstone
I was listening to them last week.....that was her and baby this is me. 👍
That one chick was very lucky that her mom had some sense
Ummm, how y’all just drop the r word bomb then dip?? 😳 wth? 😳
Dream was one of my favorite groups. I used to stay requesting their music on radio Disney 😂.
can you do girlicious??? im curious to what happened
I remember them!! But only that one song.. theyd play it all the time on tv and I had started havin mad crushes in Junio hs😅
I literally listened to this he loves you not today
Wow! Nick Carter did that?!
Love Dream! Do a video about Bayje!
Please do a video on the group before dark
That would be great! I loved them.
I never heard of them
Diddy had an eye for talent, but his thirst for money and industry pull at the expense of their dreams was bigger, obviously not a good combo. He crushed many valuable people's dreams and careers, and deserves what's coming to him.
I remember their music video being played often on TV and I always wondered what happened to them.
I remember getting thier album on cassette for one dollar. That was at Ames when it was closing, on a dying format and on a band that was losing heat. I liked them alot. They where everywhere then you just didnt hear a thing
one common denominator in all of these used to be groups and artist that I have been binge watching ......Diddy
I miss dream.
Wow.
Still have their songs in rotation!
I like their song "this is me."
Dream- This is Me...still on my Playlist in 2021
👍🏾
i remeber dream i went to the trl tour and saw them there along with nelly eve and destiny's chiild they were a good band
I really had myself convinced they were on making the band before danity kane 😂 I guess my child mind isn’t always accurate. I loved that first CD and I had no idea they ever toured or got back together
