And they’re all dark skinned fully Black girls. I miss that. Today only one of them would be Black but still light skinned

They didn't sell well enough. I still have a few songs in my iTunes library from them. I love these kind of threads because it brings me back.

I remember seeing them perform on that Disney concert show. My mom even tried to do our hair like theirs.

I don't think people were ready for them to be "grown" yet and the whole sexed up image I think did more harm then good, it wasn't much of a transition into it which is ashame their second album has bops. I remember They played this video alot on The Box and Nick as well.


Come And Get Me is a bop.


I remember when the did the Covergirl commercial and wa shocked at how different they looked.

This thread has been interesting, I’m from the UK and never had cable so had no idea they were big in America. I had their first album which and I think I knew of a second album then they disappeared for me. I think I used to watch their TV show on ITV. Looks like the the industry did their best to make them look average by putting them in abysmal straight lank weave - especially in that Covergirl commercial.

Cleopatra has a special place in my heart as it was the first album I bought. The debut single is still a bop.

This group deserved to have been so much bigger, i feel like their debut single kind of boxed them as a gimmick bug they had great music.







I love their version of Bee Gees Gotta Get A Message To You.

I remember them from that Disney Channel cruise ship special. As I recall they dropped another album after that then they kinda disappeared. They're still around though. I think one of the sisters sings Gospel but I may be wrong. It's been a long time.

I remember them being all over Fox Kids in the US back in 1998 or so

Listening to their music as an adult it still holds up, I really like U Got It even though the sexiness seems to be a huge departure from where they were just a year prior

This album should've been a bigger hit here, it had some bops. I remember them playing this video alot on Nickelodeon i think the mature look was too quick for them there was no in-between transition into it. literally one minute we see them with Brandy braids and baggy clothes singing Cleopatra Comin' Atcha then BOOM they got weaves dark makeup and are dressing sexy. It was a big miss them not releasing Come And Get Me here


I would to see them get on S Club 7's reunion tour and they come back stateside it would be lit!
