Milli Vanilli's ghost singer finally breaks silence: "It's common sense that nobody in my neighborhood cared about lip-syncing; they cared about getting paid"

You know what really grinds my gears, folks? This whole Milli Vanilli "scandal" getting dragged back up like it's some kind of national tragedy. I'm reading this article from some slick-haired journalist who just interviewed the real singer behind that "Blame It on the Rain" track. He's crying about how he was "erased from history." Oh, please. Use some common sense. Back in 1989, my neighbor bought their cassette tape. He didn't care if they were singing or not—he cared that the beat hit while he was fixing his lawnmower. These ghost singers got paid! They took the money, sat in a studio, and then had the nerve to act shocked when Fab Morvan's pretty face got the credit. It's like being shocked that a burger tastes good even though you didn't see the cow. Now they want a "cultural apology"? How about we apologize to the people who actually bought the concert tickets and got a lip-syncing show while the studio track skipped? That's common sense: you pay for a live show, you expect a live voice. End of story. Go pour one out for your bank account and move on.
