Milli Vanilli Is Hotter Than Ever Thanks to the Menendez Brothers
In addition to shedding light on the 1989 Menendez murder case, another byproduct of Ryan Murphy’s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story has been the resurgence of the popular late 1980s and early 1990s singing duo Milli Vanilli. Remember them?
Well, if not, Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, the duo that was Milli Vanilli, broke onto the scene in 1989 with hits like “Blame It on the Rain” and “Girl I’m Gonna Miss You,” but fell victim to what might be considered by today’s standards a total cancellation when the public learned that they were actually lipsynching their lyrics.
When their dubbed vocals were made public, Milli Vanlli was stripped of their Best New Artist Grammy they snagged at the 1990 awards ceremony, and essentially thrown out of the business.
