- Hey everybody, I am back with a new episode of She Sangs. This time it is starring En Vogue, which is arguably the best vocal girl group of all time. Maxine's jazzy voice + Cindy's polished voice + Dawn's funky voice + Terry's powerhouse voice = a fierce vocal collaboration. En Vogue's harmonies are unmatched and their superior performing skills set the blueprint for every girl group that followed them (like Destiny's Child, Pussycat Dolls, Little Mix, Sugababes, Spice Girls...heck even the Cheetah Girls lol).
En vogue best live vocal harmonies don't let go, hold on, free your mind, never gonna get it, giving him something he can feel, my lovin, lies Maxine Jones, Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron, Dawn Robinson, vocal range.
I believe En Vogue deserves a biopic .......but done the right way .
Tequan Carter Ditto!!!👏👏👍👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌
I will be one of the girls
I AGREE!!!!
Déwanda wise from She gotta have it could play Maxine got the hazel eyes and beauty
ENVOGUE IS NOT UNSUNG!!! I DONT BELIEVE A BIOPTIC IS DONE CORRECTLY ON THEM!!! DONE WRONG MIGHT CHEAPEN THEIR EXCELLENCE, POWER AND BEAUTY!!
4 lead singers in 1 group. That's why they put every other girlgroup to shame
The COLDEST female group in HISTORY! All of them drop dead GORGEOUS and can SANG!
the best harmonies &vocal girl group of all times
I truly agree
And dresses very classy
@Norris Cool En Vogue's collective talent was better than all of those other girl groups❗
Yes right up there with Labelle. Another highly underrated but extremely talented group!!!
FACTS!!
can somebody please acknowledge Dawns vocals like dammnnn this woman has a strong voice
Janay Holmes finally! I continue to scroll down for a minute to see when someone was going to mention Dawn's voice. no Dawn did not make the group the group was made up of four parts hints for part harmony. each one of those women contributed something special to that group but there's something about Dawn's voice that just stands out. After Dawn left the three sounded good but the four-part harmony was not there! trying to sing the songs that she did lead on, just don't sound the same. Now that both Dawn and Max are gone from the group that's not En Vogue!!!
Yes to me Dawn and terry had the voices of the group
I always thought dawn has the best voice
Dawn has a great studio voice. Terry holds it down for having the rawest powerhouse vocals.
I luv dawn
Maxine can SAANG!
Omg Maxine's G#5s omg and then that growling. I got a chill OMD. Her tone is sultry, warm and unmistakable. The soul of the group.
I love Cindy's sweet, sweet soprano. I love her effortless melismata so agile and accurate. Always serving vocals with perfect intonation and cute sass
Dawn owned Don't Let Go. Everyone was saaanging on that but her ad libs always give me the most life on that song. Plus she has one of the prettiest head voices you'll ever hear.
TERRY to me has always been the best all rounder. She can go from huge belts with a mezzo quality to effortless coloratura soprano all in the same song and still maintain that crystal clear clarity.
En Vogue really are a VOCAL SUPER GROUP of 4 clearly defined and unique solo vocalists
Jonny Gardner perfect breakdown of their vocals. Especially Terry.... you're right she's the best all around
Jonny Gardner best analysts
Well put
Terry sounded like a mix of Whitney and Teena Marie. in other words. amazing vocalist
Yea, and Maxine has a little Stephanie Mills in her!
+K Moore Yes i hear it!
There used to be a video performance on youtube with Just Maxine and Terry as a duet. I believe Cindy flew back home because her mom was sick or had just passed. Max & Terry carried on. Max & Terry alternated the lead to Hold On. They KILLED IT! Max was hitting those Cindy notes like she originally recorded the lead. Wish someone would repost that video it's a must see.
Yes. I always believed she could've gone toe2toe with Whitney. And you can definitely hear the Teena Marie in her voice. In fact, I think I saw a video of her on here singing "Square Biz."
@@roddhunter it's like having the female version of Jodeci
En Vogue, original members had such distinctive voices individually along with personalities it will never be the same unless it's those 4.
Bette Davis Don't sleep on EV3, their album was fierce!
True but if you listen to that cd closely u will see that they were unable to edit Dawn's parts out so its really a complete EnVogue cd with all 4 members
You better say that AGAIN!
ABSOLUTELY
humpty dumpty Yes, and Dawn was on that album also. Most of the songs have her on them
Not only was EnVogue the best femaile vocal group, but there were all so stunning to match. Like black barbie dolls. Comparing the voices is useless because the original 4 had the perfect differences yet combination-- like the author mentioned Max brought soulful jazz, Cindy brought pop classic, Dawn brought funk/alternative soul, and Terry was the fierce balladeer.
yes yes agreed!
Best female vocal group ever assembled
Right there with Labelle. Which was such an underrated group!
It’s extremely rare for ALL members of a group to hold their own vocally & strongly and be able to harmonize!
Love them as a group!
Dawn is my favorite though!
Especially when she says “Woo woooo wooo!!” 😂
Yeah what other female group had all the members able to sing different but on par with each other? My fav was Dawn then Terri but I was always able to appreciate Cindy's pop style.
Dawn is SO pretty
En Vogue was in a league of their own!!!👏👏👏💖
Yep just like LaBelle Was!
Damn right!
Got that right!!!
Dawn and Maxine can sangggggggggg. love love love
I'll never forget when they sang their acceptance speech! I've never seen that done again. Excellent!!!
Terry serving me Whitney teas lol
I like how they all got a turn to sing. It wasnt always focused on one singer like Destiny child was.
I love Terrys voice ...it's so soothing and soulful .
Andrew Couture and STRONG!!!!!
Yes I absolutely love Terry's voice!! I love all of their voices!!!
My analysis of the voices
Maxine = Very jazzy vocal. You can tell she's jazz trained. Great ear
Cindy = Very high toned chest Soprano. Probably the highest chest range in the group. Excellent control
Terri = WOW! Definitely the POWERHOUSE gospel vocal. She's great. Also had the highest whistle register.
Dawn = she's a hybrid of all the above. Definitely had the best stage presence as well. She can emulate well any quality I listed above. The chameleon
best best analysis.
Yet you're on CZcams.
Soprano isn’t chest sir. Soprano is head. Chest would be considered Mezzo or Contralto.
Cindy does have excellent control. Is that something thats natural or from lots of practice.
@@jeremiahtray5621huh
All of them wonderful but Jesus that Terry😁
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss MISS TERRY ELLIS!
They ALL can saaaaaaaaaang
Was Terry trained by Whitney Houston??? I mean damn that resonance and sustain is LETHAL. And Dawn's F#5 riff was amazing
Dawn brings the attitude sexiness sass and swag
I think what made En Vogue stand out above the rest is their classiness and ability not to over sexualize their look. Too many performers just go straight to that.
Maxine and Dawn are everything... Max’s tone is beautiful and Dawns range and edgy vocals... those two are my faves!!!! Though as a group unmatched and no one will ever duplicate or surpass them!!!!
ALL FOUR CAN SING THEIR ASSES OFF, BUT TERRY ELLIS HAS THE STRONGEST VOCALS...HITTING THE HIGHER/LONGER NOTES!!
TERRY ELLIS KIND OF REMIND ME OF LISA FISCHER.
DAWN ROBINSON KIND OF REMIND ME OF MIKI HOWARD
MAXINE JONES KIND OF REMIND ME OF STEPHANIE MILLS.
CINDY HERRON KIND OF REMIND ME OF WHITNEY HOUSTON.
THE NEWEST MEMBER RHONA BENNETT KIND OF REMIND ME OF KELLY ROWLAND OF DESTINE'S CHILD. BUT THE TALENTED LADIES THAT I NAMED, LISA, STEPHANIE, MIKI, WHITNEY HAD/HAS MUCH STRONGER VOICES.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?!?
I can't help but notice that the songs those two lead were more popular
My 2 favs too🎵🎼🎶
@@jamaldavis7517 so I find ou how that works is all them sing or try out for the song or single in the producers goes with who makes the song hot or sings in the range the song goes
@@georgeking4730 I dont 100% agree but I see (hear)hints of what you mean
I feel like I'm the only one here for Cindy. She's my favorite. She's a songbird
I ♥️Cindy!!😊
Cindy all day!
She's my favourite too
I love Cindy.
I thought I was alone cause Cindy and Dawn were my best vocally
This is not a group, this is a super group
Dawn and Terry sound alike sometimes but I love all of them their all amazing vocalists and i'm only 17 but i like positive music
Raheem Charles They do at times...Terry tends to have a "rounder" sound.
Raheem Charles type in en vogue of 5/6 they perform never gonna get it when they were a trio Terry covered dawns parts and sounded exactly like her
@@iKETOURAGE YES. They were similar cept Terry's voice was fuller, had more weight, was fuller and less forced on the lower notes & had more vibrato in her voice.
Dawn and Cindy. 😍😍😍😍
terry and cindy are my girls
Johnny Cuff agreed! But I adore them all!
They keeping the legacy going
Dawn’s voice is EVERYTHING, clean and clear powerhouse vocals. ✨
That speech they sang for BILLBOARD🥺🥺🥺 They way they harmonized “Billboard Awards”....🙁Nobody will ever do that again
They equally played a major role in the group
Oh my gosh!! Dawn Robinson is FIRE!!!
Dawn and Maxine has the pipes! I love Cindy and Terry but D and M touched my soul when they sing!
En Vogue were the epitome of the girl group. Not one group that immediately comes to mind could switch parts at random as easily and as masterfully as these ladies could. They could sing the ABCs to me any day.
i agree envogue was a gr8 group...however i can name 2 girl groups that can give them a run 4 their money...please look up exgirlfriend their harmonies are on point...xscape can also give envogue a run 4 their money
@@mistacansa5185 i know im 2 years too late but u have lost your damn mind!!!!!
@@LNSMITH-iq6ye i cant find my comment can you refresh my memory?
Little Mix are the only girl group out now that have 4 lead vocalists tbh it’s sad there’s not as many girl groups and good ones at that Little Mix are really good they’re worth a listen but these ladies are the GOAT
@@mistacansa5185 you said that ExGirlfriend and Xscape could give En Vogue a run for their money. Nah. Those are both good groups, solid harmonies, but neither of those groups could switch harmony parts AND leads at random while never losing their blending. Ever.
The best female group of all time!! I never knew Maxine had such range because I only saw her singing the low parts and she can really hit those high notes well. Great vocals by all of the women in the group too.
wowwww maxime has that somethng something
lookin at this just makes me so sad, nothing beats the original EV4, love rhona but the original 4 was magic all could sang their faces off but could come together like one voice so easily one of the best groups to do it for sure
MusicBlue22 Egos
So true.
I cried from 7:30 to 7:46. Terry is one of the best to ever pick up a mic
@C. C. can you tell me what a "country" voice is?
DAWN ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dawn looks like nia long but cindy had that Whitney Houston elegance and who can beat that!
MY TERRY ALL DAY !!!!!!!!
Terry has always been my favorite vocalist in this group!
Abria Angel same for me
Abria Angel preach luv ha😍😘
I agree, her and Cindy
Mine too. Terry and Cindy
Abria Angel mine too I love her
THESE HEFFAS CAN SANG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dawn must have had a POWERFUL voice for her mike to be so far away at 8:08
Terry and dawn were my favorite but Terry is the best vocalist out the group
LET THE TRUTH B HEARD TERRY IS THE BEST IN THE GROUP!
Terry & Dawn were always my favorite too. Terry's voice was on a whole other level!
@@chyevans8950 i thought the same
Terry is a beast! 🙌🏾
Terry has the best resigter of the group...she a mix of whitney, Teena, and Mariah
EnVogue (original 4 & original 3), SWV, Brownstone & Xscape were/are everything as far as female R&B groups of the 90's for me!! Maxine & Terry are my faves of EV, but all 4 members can blow!!!
Terry voice something else smh
They really did have the best harmonies and some of the best vocals any female artist and female group could ever have
I’ve met 3 of the 4 ladies (haven’t met Max) and they can blow. Since they broken up, Terry & Cindy are still rocking the group and although they all sound better together, the 2 original can still blow and are looking fly as ever.
HEY THATS A GREAT DESCRIPTION OF THEIR VOICES. Maxine's jazzy voice + Cindy's polished voice + Dawn's funky voice + Terry's powerhouse voice = a fierce vocal collaboration. (Soulful would be good for Terry too)
Totally, agree!
best analysis !!!
Terry and Dawn all the way baby
the best group of the 90 s period.
Harmonies for days. My god
This is "The Reunion" I would pay for a front row seat. THESE LADIES WERE BORN TO SING!
The Best, REAL Girl group that I truly miss on a daily basis.....Man, I truly miss you all......
Now, these are ladies with class!
Terry the GOAT! (Greatest Of All Time)
No one has ever sounded so good on an album than En Vogue
Let me tell you, no one could belt like Terry. She had a few hiccups here and there, but when she was ON it, she was ON it. 5:15 - 5:25 was when they were on Oprah and she was clearly SICK and STILL kilteded it!! And those top notes in the chorus of "Part of Me" and the last parts of the National Anthem...yes. And I loved hearing her get into her whistle, especially on "Don't Go"...my lamb.
Dawn better
Terry! Terry! Terry!
@@jamaldavis7517 Terry my baby doll!
I miss the 90's so much
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! No matter who has tried, no one has ever been able to put together a group where every single member can be put in the front and shine all areas of leading AND stage presence...and then also be able to fall back and carry the BGVs. Thats a skill. Plus they all were naturally beautiful.
EN VOGUE=VOICES!
The greatest SANGING girl GROUP OF ALL TIME! Each girl could hold their own. Terry is one of my favorite vocalists of all time.
Terry>Dawn>Cindy>Max
CaramelRebel Xscape too
Your opinion
Best Female R&B Group!
UGH!!!! en vogue is truly the best female vocal group of all-time, yes even better than destiny's child! their blend is so freaking even! their rhythm, syncopation is simply just top-notch! and damn it you're right, there will never be another girlgroup like en vogue vocally! The girlgroup who are on par with BSB, boyz II men and take 6!
when they sing 'who's lovin you'!!! thats a TRUE EXAMPLE of what a perfect strong powerful harmonic blend IS ABOUT! singing lead but not trying to overpower and not be the biggest baddest bitch! beyonce you taking notes, singing in a group is not ALL ABOUT YOU! -.-"
You make me wanna do a "He sangs: backstreet boys best live vocals" but school has been tying me down! :(
If you find the time, take a look at backstreet boys best vocal performances. if you look beyond their bubblegum pop image, you can see their true talent. REAL VOCALISTS (as a group)! :D
MimiXtinaChelleKRow destiny who???? Destiny child was good but they don’t hold a candle to these beautiful exquisite and talented women..
@@winniejohnson5559 Period!
There are other groups besides Destiny’s Child.
Damn, Cindy gave me chills at 2:19.
OH MAN what an video! Thank you for showcasing one of the baddest group of women to EVER do it! EV is a real group! Vocals for daayyyyssss, class and personality to boot! They're my favorite group ever!
Maxine is probably the most versatile singer in the group. She's a trained soprano but she held the bass/bottom of the harmonies down FLAWLESSLY!
Dawn is my favorite cause she just has a voice that sounds like NOBODY else in the world! She emotes straight fierceness in everything!!
Terry is the soul of EV. She's just powerful and smooth and can belt her arse off
Cindy always had that sleek pop infused diva voice that's sweet but packs such a punch that it just knocks you OUT!
put a week on it! now that's howw good they vocals is!
Me personally I love Dawn's voice and I believe she had the best voice out of the group ( Tisha Campbell & Dawn have the same singing & speaking voice btw ) . Dawn & Cindy are my faves in En Vogue ....they are so pretty .
Tequan Carter tisha Campbell vocal would be similar to Terry not dawn
I SAID WHAT I SAID. YOU CAN'T & WON'T CHANGE MY OPINION . I SAID THIS TO A LOT OF PEOPLE & THEY AGREE WITH ME THAT BOTH TISHA & DAWN SING/SOUND ALIKE VOCALLY & WHEN THEY TALK.
Tequan Carter I've always thought the same thing.
Tequan Carter I guess that's there opinion 🤗 I don't hear it
Yea. Me too. I always felt like the management pushed terry the most. But dawn had the best voice.
Dawn has always been my favorite
That harmonized run in Hold On⚰️
I almost forgot how amazing it was
My life didn’t know I needed this from the best female vocal group of all time.
They all can be lead singers. That is why they are my favorite girl group.
Maxine & Terry 🔥 but all the girls can sing 🎤
Terry SANG!!
They are the "Group" version of Whitney Houston. Had the industry just paid these women, the world could still be enjoying what these iconic vocalists bring to the planet.
Terry, Maxine, Cindy, Dawn
Cindy is the best vocalist!!!
Cruz Lane she’s got great control
The best vocal group ever
Cindy = Tone, Runs, Control. She's my favourite.
Dawn: Tone, power.
Terry = Long sustained notes and operatic notes.
A combination of these three singers would be the greatest vocalist ever, however they’re already some of the best singers ever.
xxxTIN0xxx So I take it you didn't like Maxine? 😂
Turtle neck But Max has the most distinctive and powerful voice, so I don’t understand
@@kelamo7067 Basic ppl think good = high. Ignorance is an epidemic...
@@Fonthandler lmao he tried it!! 🤣🤣🤣.
Terri was the gospel vocal
Love Dawn she is awesome!!!!!
No one can truly honor them because no one can truly touch them vocally.🤷
YASSSSS Angel! En Vogue was the best female group of all time!!!! 4 different voices with the ability to harmonize and slay a solo. I miss them so much.
They were all they same voice type so it was easier for them.
+David Vasquez Maxine was the only mezzo soprano in the group
+ImperfectbutRedeemed only contralto
Keion Rogers no. She was not a CONTRALTO. She is a mezzo soprano aka an alto in choir terms. Nina Simone and Lalah Hathaway are contraltos. They have androgynous voices. Maxine does not have an androgynous voice.
+ImperfectbutRedeemed she was definetly not a mezzo. Her comfort zone was much lower
THEY DESERVED MORE....
Most definitely!!!
Yes, Terry Ellis is a vocal beast!! Wished you'd have included Amanda Cole's and Rhona's vocals in this, too. Both women were/are phenomenal singers as well. Thanks, tho'!!
👍
+Charles Jefferson What I loved is they all can sing that G5 chest note with no problem!
Don't forget Wanda! lol!
jamie baxter right Amanda in some way sounded like Dawn (The closest they were gonna get to a Dawn sound alike)
Well Terry sounds like Dawn as well I think they have the same voice type though Terry's voice is rounder
I swaany, if these Divas got back together for a reunion tour, I'd bleeping wheel myself to see them. 😅❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 I don't know why I've been feeling these Ladies so much lately. I guess they just make me happy. It's good to be happy, especially these days. Enjoy!
I miss Maxine
Who else is missing the 90s?
some real sanging sister.. man they are just awsome
End Vogue THE BEST GIRL GROUP ALWAYS 😘😘😘😘😘
Thanks! This is the only group, who harmonizes like crazy! All 4 of them can sing!!!! Thanks for posting!
They all sound absolutely amazing and can't be compared because of the style each of them bring. But Dawn.... She just had an it factor (stage presence maybe) the other girls didn't.
Those are some sang in’ women!
Terri and Dawn's are my favourites.
All talented! All gorgeous!
They can all still blow ..it's amazing they need to give them.a chance again
Aww, I miss them all together singing. They will always be my favorite group.
Damn they can sing
i looooooooove me some EnVogue but if i got to pick whose the best vocalist in the group I'ma have to go with Terry. Very versatile. And just think.....she almost missed the tryouts.
They were always showstoppers.
Wish they did more music together!
