The girls did great, sounded great and LOOKED great. Misha was definitely feeling herself for this set and is looking slimmer.
I'm just confused why the audience didn't come to the front row? There's an audience there, I can hear them, why they didn't come up close? I would have been up on those tables jumpin up and down screaming "SING 'SHOW YOU MY LOVE'"!!!

The "It's Great To Be Here" by The Jackson 5 sample was used so perfectly in All I Want (just like it was in All About The Benjamins). I forgot how much I loved that song. I also forgot that it was on the Good Burger soundtrack. Steelo and All I Want have held up really well over time.

Actually, the No Doubt samples were so on point. This debut was better than I remember. The nostalgia! I feel my jaw will drop for the self-titled because I remember LOVING that album but have actually forgotten it outside of Where My Girls At and Gotta Leave.

I also forgot that it was on the Good Burger soundtrack. Steelo and All I Want have held up really well over time. and the Honey remix!! Their debut is easily my favorite album by them. "Show You My Love", "No Doubt", "Word Iz Bond", "All I Want"--that album is pretty great from front to back.

I wish their label would've went with Make Time after You Don't Know. It's such a gem.

Noooo...their self-titled album is fucking me up right now. That Soulshock & Karlin production that was EVERYWHERE at the time, sounding very Darkchild and Timbaland inspired. As soon as You Don't Know came on, I was instantly transported. Now, I NEED to listen to Star lol and watch their story. I forgot all about Pootie Tangin' too. I had a secret obsession with that song, as terrible as it was LOL. You'll Just Never Know was definitely a go-to for me. Man, I was a dramatic kid. What did I know about these kinds of adult feelings then?? To be fair, I was in college, so never mind, LOL! For some reason, I thought this album came out when I was in HS. All of the lyrics and adlibs are coming back to me. Don't You Go Breaking My Heart...and Seven. Really solid album. Glad I revisited it!

They leveled up with each album to me! Star should’ve been the one to cement their status as a top tier girl group.
@nauticaui04 I will PM details tomorrow. Compiling the data can be a bit tedious but it’s really not hard.

I stumbled across this really candid interview Meelah did last year and it's a good one! I never knew she was almost going to be in Total after she left the group the first time. She also talked about her horrible first contract, some of the issues behind the Star album, and being a bit of a ho while on tour lol. youtu.be/CqPHw-pLpYI

^ Not sure about Meelah, but one thing that surprised me in the Unsung is when one of them talked about having six figures in her bank account. They had to be one of the few groups with a good contract because on most of these shows people say they didn't make any money.

I would've loved to hear Meelah with Keishia and Pam.
