MAXINE, CINDY, TERRY AND DAWN.....I REALLY MISS THE FOUR OF YOU BEING AND SINGING TOGETHER....GOD BLESS YOU ALL

There is a lesson here in Dawn's story that all new groups should learn from. Dawn looked at the numbers and saw that everyone was making big money off of their group while they were settling for "pennies." The other members should have joined Dawn and fought for their "fair" share. Big companies and corporations find it easy to dispose of individuals. But if the members had fought together as one, they could have at the very least won a bigger share of the pie if not more. So stick together in situations like this to gain power, or go down individually which is no problem for big companies and corporations as they find that individuals are disposable and of no value to them. Trust me, I've lived it!

When I first set eyes on her as a 15 year old boy I knew that Dawn was the most beautiful female on the planet. I'm 44 now and she still is.

Wish the original ladies could get back together, unfortunately it doesn't seem possible. I wish everyone the best.

I love Dawn..period.

They did need to give Dawn and Maxine a bit more respect

I can see Dawns POV...it's understable how her and Maxine feels... Maybe one day we can Terry and Cindy's POV. As a fan it really breaks my heart..

How is she still so fine, thirty years later? Wow

I love Dawn. En Vogue was the most talented female R&B group I have ever seen. They should have had similar success that Mary J Blige had.

I walked into an electronics store one day and heard this incredible base and girls harmonizing "Don't waste your time...' I just stopped in my tracks and listened. It was the most amazing sound I had ever heard, my introduction to En Vogue.

Dawn and Max Are The edge and spice to EnVogue. Together as the originals they are great. Unfortunately, they All got played. Know Your blessings and move forward with your talent and skills. Start moving like Prince, he gave the blueprint

True Klymaxx fan here!! Nice interview, Joyce. ❤💯👊🏽

Very sorry to hear that the group couldn’t mend fences. I’m very fond of all the ladies. Still bumping the music in my ride. EV4Life💕

They Should Do A Biopic Movie Story About En Vogue's

When i think of En Vogue i think of Dawn first she was that force, instantly drawn to her when they first came out ❤ too bad they are going through this and have been for so long

Well all I know is I LOVE ENVOGUE! You all have inspired and made many many many mini envougues outta black women. I also think y'all set the standard in beauty. I'm sorry to hear but I love you all

Professionally, you ALL should have sat down and negotiated the terms of the reunion, diva-documentary, etc., and got it in writing.

Been down with Envouge since my freshman year of Collège 89-90. I still love my sistaz no matter what.

Truth is no matter what happened The originals will always out rank any current member. En Vogue started in 1989 but the 30th anniversary of "Born to sing" is anniversary for Cindy, Terry Dawn and Maxine!

I loved this interview!

I'm soo glad she's telling her side! I would love to hear from Maxine too. Dawn's side sounds very logical to me! why would 1 of the biggest girl groups n history settle for only making 2 cents per album??! Everyone was eating off of their talent! I don't understand why the ladies didn't stick 2gether on renegotiating, unless Terry & Cindy were making more money somewhere n the contract that Max & Dawn's didn't know about? or management got n Terry & Cindy's ear gassed their head up telling them they didn't need Dawn's & Max 🤷🏽‍♀️ No matter what happened as a fan from the very beginning I am very disappointed 😔 been wanting for them to get bk 2gether for yrs. I grew up to their music🎶

I attended an En Vogue concert here in Indianapolis back in the 90s just to see Dawn Robinson, my favorite female singer! Dawn, how do you stay so beautiful?

People who fight for other's or hate injustice are always the ones left out in the cold. Companies do not like anyone with a brain or mouth. You have to be sheep & cause no hassle. I see myself in Dawn but I'm quiet but hate injustice. Love from England.🇬🇧

En Vogue hasn't been as successful since Dawn and Maxine left the group 😪

I appreciate that Dawn is always an open book about what's truly going on with En Vogue because if it were up to Cindy and Terry, we'd never know. Their performance last year with Sylvia Rhone had me thinking that the 5 of them were ready to get things going to tour and celebrate 30 years together. It's a shame that at this rate, it will never happen. - I don't agree with Dawn's sentiment that Rhona isn't a real member of the group. While of course she wasn't a part of creating the EV that fans knew and loved in the 90s, her presence in keeping the brand going in their most recent years should be respected. Cindy is right. She shouldn't be kicked to the curb whenever Max and Dawn return. Rhona has been more reliable than Dawn and Maxine. She doesn't appear to overstep her boundaries or brag about her presence in the group either so Dawn should let her be. - It was very unfair that Cindy and Terry refused to allow Dawn and Maxine to record themselves during their reunion. I can see why Dawn would feel somehow about Rhona having her camera in their faces when they couldn't even do the same. Yes, Maxine and Dawn are "employees" of EV at this point but if Cindy and Terry ever wish to have an all 5 moment for their fans that will last, compromise and communication with have to exist between the four of them. They're all in their 50s and shouldn't be treated as children by each other especially when they all contributed to creating the EV that fans loved. There was no lead singer in EV. - I think if Dawn knew 20 years ago that signing away her rights to EV would entail all of this, she wouldn't have. I sense regret. If they ever do try the all 5 thing again, I think therapy would be great for the group so they can heal. They can't just keep coming together without ironing out the issues of the past. Also, while Cindy, Terry, and Rhona have done a great job at sustaining the brand in recent times, what they do together will never be as big as what EV5 will be. That's the simple truth.

Its good to see Dawn get it out and hopefully Terry and Cindy realize what they have done to the En Vogue!

My Divas❤️❤️They’re the only group who will EVER SING AN ACCEPTANCE SPEECH🥺🥺 #TheWaytheysayBILLBOARDMAGAZINE #OMG

I say this respectfully. I just leanred the additional member of EvVogues name is " Rhona". I don't think anyone would forget that name after 2020!🤷🏾‍♀️ That being said, the BEGINNING of a thing is the FOUNDATION and is of essence. The ORIGINAL EnVogue impacted people's lives, they changed generations. Clearly someone that wanted to go solo would not join another GROUP. I truly pray that the original members put the EGOS aside and think about the FANS FOR ONCE and WE, THE MAJORITY OF THE FANS WANT THE ORIGINAL ENVOGUE! Rona can be a part of that too, she is talented I'm sure, ( Although she does not have a voice that I recognize, per se like the original members ) and beautiful. However, give us DAWN and MAX please and thank you. I promise you, you will go farther. Now EV3's "Rocket" is my jaaaaam and I loved Terry's " Wherever You Are" so ALL of the ladies have a lane, but Dawn is a FORCE, let's be honest. She is an asset and should be paid, included and respected as such as well as " Give it Up Turn It Loose" Maxine! My favorite artist said it best, "Give The People What They Want". 💯. Foster and McElroy made a killing off a them! Let's be fair now in 2021. #funkydivasforever🔥🔥🔥🔥

En Vogue's Was My Favorite Singing Group From Back In The Day When I Was Kid I Used Too Have They CD And Cassette Tapes Posters I'm 36Years Old Now En Vogue's Is Still My Favorite Singing Group From Back In The Day Dawn Robinson Is My Favorite Singer From En Vogue's

Dawn is still very beautiful! Nice ti hear the background stuff!

I love Dawn, she’s my favorite group member and one of my favorite singers ever however that’s the business just like corporate America 🇺🇸 they will have you replaced the minute you walk out the door 🚪 I’m glad Terri and Cindy are still holding it down and it would have been nice 😊 to see Dawn & Maxine join them for the reunion. Hopefully she will reconsider next time. Stay blessed Dawn and know we all the fans love ❤️ seeing all you ladies on stage singing and entertaining us 😇 remember we all have to sellout a little bit just to survive the business 👩‍💼 #blessings

I knew not to get my hopes up... too many egos not enough sisterhood nor good communication .... I loved their first two albums atleast we have those and the nostalgia ❤️.

I looked up Joyce's group Klymaxx and I am familiar with the song "Meet me in the ladies room". Definitely a hot song. I am happy that Joyce and Dawn are supporting one another. I am saddened by the interview. It seems as if the En Vogue story is a true bittersweet tragedy. :{ smh. :{

I LUV U DAWN💙💙💯💯💪🏾💪🏾

Terry, Cindy, Maxine, Dawn, and Rhona are ALL En Vogue to me!! Dawn, I understand why not being able to take pics and video at last year's event could hurt on a personal level and could make you feel like less of a funky diva than the current core 3 members. For so many of us though, seeing all 5 of the long-time members of En Vogue taking the stage together that night was a decades-long dream come true. We love you and Maxine as founding members of En Vogue and we love and respect Rhona for adding to and continuing En Vogue's legacy. I haved loved En Vogue from the second I played the "Hold On" cassette single as 14-year old gay white boy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and will adore all 5 of you for as long as I listen to music.

My God...........this woman is still as beautiful as she was thirty years ago. I was a huge fan of En Vogue so it's sad to learn about the behind the scenes drama. I hope there has been healing for each of them. I suppose this kind of thing happens in the entertainment industry!

I hate this. Makes me so sad. En Vogue is never going to get it together. Such a tragedy.

I'll be buying a copy, Dawnnn!!!!

There is nothing like the original girls... Dawn and maxine walked away so it's sad she is still pushing to benefit from a situation she walked away from. Years have passed.... Dawn needs to see if she can benefit off the name lucy Pearl also... Not the after success of Envogue when she left by choice

I'm so freaking upset about this!! I grew up watching this group and I always love Dawn and Maxine.. When I was a little girl I used to and still looked up to them!! I wanted to look sexy like them lol.. I also tried to have their vocals as a little girl lol! I kno if Damn would had gotten the chance to do her solo album at that time.. she would have been a big star! Her singing vocal is so powerful plus she was so beautiful naturally.. Not saying all the other girls wasn't beautiful because they also was naturally beautiful. But Dawn had something special about her. I wish the group would have kept their sisterhood and fought as a team because they would have been something amazing. So sad groups never last long smh..

I actually understand what Dawn is saying. She has a point. I also understand how it comes off. It doesnt look good. God bless Rhona, talented lady, seems very nice, but when I think of En Vogue, I think of Dawn, Max, Terry, and Cindy. Period. All of the great songs and albums that made them who they are, Rhona wasnt a part of any of them. The songs that endure in pop culture and make them legends are from the original four. Dawn is 100% correct. It's like if Johnny Gill joined New Edition and they had no hits or songs of consequence. En Vogue ceased to exist for me once 50% of the group left.

I kinda see both sides. Although I do believe Terri and Cindy could benefit from compromising with Dawn and Max. It does seem like it’s their way or the highway. Which if you’re asking them to join again so y’all can secure the bag is NOT the way to go about it. Having said that though I respect C&T for not just kicking Rhonda to the curb. She’s an essential member at this point. It’s so sad that they still can’t just put egos to the side to celebrate their legacy. 30 years in this business is an amazing thing. They owe it to themselves and the fans to get over this petty drama, hear each other out and compromise to deliver something great together again.

I love Fenderella. She’s super talented.

Joyce after you did the song with Doug E. Fresh I always wanted to write a song you . Youre an amazing talent .

Love these ladies - Klymaxx Ms. Joyce and Ms. Dawn EnVogue

Where can I find the full video of EV5????

she so bubbly and cute!

😤😩😩 it all could be so simple If everyone would put egos and petty animosity to the side the reunion performance last year proved EV5 would be a hit and would've been a perfect way to bring in #EV30 but I digress.....

wow...after seeing this, I no longer like terry & cindy....it's sad how they were treated.

Record contracts suck , teddy riley expressed his concerns in the record industry as did Prince, its a whole crooked industry starting with ASCAP AND BMI rights to music credentials on who gets paid royalties.

Dawn is such a homegirl.

wow its been 30yrs OMG!!!!

Dawn I love you, U wanted to stand for the group, but the rest was too scared, I got nothing to love for you

I wonder why Cindy & Terry have all the power?

“Our first mistake was we signed the contract.. we sold 28 million records & got 2 pennies back”

Temptations had dueling tours using the name. A judge ruled they could do that as long as an original member is part of the group. Why can't they do that now? FTR....I miss the original four all together. 😭

I EMBRACE DAWN'S TRUTH ❤

Whether we like it or not, Rhona is a part of Envogue. She may not have started as an original but she has been recording and touring with Terry and Cindy for over a decade. So to ask her to step aside IF Dawn and/or Maxine decides they want to come back would be sooo unfair. Furthermore, Dawn, once again, you LEFT in 1997 and gave up your rights to the group. So anything that the CURRENT line up do INCLUDING Rhona, you have no say so.

Dawn wasnt kicked out. If she was we'd have heard that decades ago.

Really disappointing to hear that's how Cindy and Teri treat Maxine and Dawn..That's really sad. I like the group Envogue. I like the orginal and new..However, there is nothing better than the original group..I think its very rude, petty and disrespectful how Teri and Cindy are treating them..Ladies that's not a good look..

Such a sad interview.

Beautiful ladies. Shame they can’t move foward and settle disagreements. Because what they established in the music industry was amazing. They have a legacy that should survive the pettiness. Shame shame shame😕😫

Dawn, it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. I would have had the camera man show up and that would have been that.

Dawn where is the book???

First off I’m a fan of this iconic & legendary group ...like many I would love nothing more than to see them all back together..... but I gotta keep this real ...... Terri & Cindy are about their grown woman business , they are about professionalism, protecting the En Vogue brand & collecting the bag . Dawn & Max have came back several times & it only last a short time & then it falls apart ... this has happened on tour which creates issues with bookers & promoters. Dawn is still holding on to things from 25 yrs ago ..even things with Lucy Pearl , Max seems to follow along so this creates drama , friction, they go into interviews trashing Terri & Cindy .... Terri & Cindy have not said anything against them & have maintained the door is always open. I feel like Rhona is cut from The same cloth as Terri & Cindy she is professional, she obviously get along with them .. the group is stable ... they don’t miss dates ...there’s a lot of money to be made in the touring market .. they make it work without the drama ..collect their coins ... at the end of the day money talks ..... Seeing the way Dawn is these days ...I don’t see them getting back together so I have learned to accept the Cindy, Terri & Rhona version of En Vogue and I’m at peace with that

If the Fans started a nationwide petition for them to get back together and reunite, trust and believe, they will but only for the fans. It happened with B2K and it was successful until Lil Fizz messed it up lol 🤦🏾‍♂️

Dumbing it down so others can feel comfortable is ruff because you give up parts of yourself and it can be hard to get back

I'm a Male former singer who sang gospel songs for years and went through a lot of the same things

Rhona continues to make a living wage performing songs recorded by the original four members. The current setup functions as a sort of tribute act. En Vogue died after Masterpiece Theatre.

I understand what she is saying and I don’t think she is saying anything negative towards Rhona but how her and Max was treated. Why were they not allowed to film if the others were?

I go back & forth about who did it & why. But at the end of the day, I see four hurt people. And hurt people hurt people. Try as you must, you can't fix what no longer works. And what is meant for you...is for you. Stop picking at the sore & let it heal. Time to just let it go. Peace of mind is priceless. Please don't let your hit song, Don't let Go" be your swan song. Just Free your mind & the rest will follow.

😍😍😍😍😍

EV5 please. Bring it on!!

On Klymaxx, I knew they had problems with Cheryl 'Unruly" Cooley,but I had no idea that Joyce had problems with them!

What group was the other woman Joyce in?

Sad the love of Music wont calm the BS! And remember why they came together in the first place and squash the bitterness they have towards each other.

They were the sexiest female group that I ever saw.

THE ORIGINAL 4 IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE KNOWN AS "ENVOGUE" NOT UP FOR DEBATE!

And why would they trust you when you are always trying to malign them

What group Is the other lady from

🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏽

IVE BEEN CRUSHING ON MRS. DAWN ROBINSON FOR YEARS AND IM 35 .......... # M.I.L.F

There are 3 sides to every story. Dawn is just the most vocal. I wish the ladies could get it together but it's obviously not meant to be. I hate the fact that the fans take sides when only the women know what's going on. They are ALL talented. But it's crazy that Dawn had issues with En Vogue, Lucy Pearl and R&B divas.It can't ALWAYS be other people's fault for EVERYTHING. En Vogue is amazing but they go down like Jodeci. Talented but too many issues to continue their journey. Between 20 years of arguing and the fans taking sides it's extremely sad how things turned out.

Dawn persona comes off like she's EnVogue the one. When Terry is the one with tha VOICE and RANGE. Thats alot a nerve for Dawn to expect Rhona not to be apart of the reunion. Rhona has been dependable consistent with Terry & Cindy recording albums and touring 15 yrs now as a trio EnVogue. Dawn, you was the one leaving and comeback, leaving and comeback. Terry & Cindy was always my favs out the four since the group came out in the 1990s and both are still!

I completely lost interest in En Vogue after Dawn left. I just watch the old videos and listen to the old music. I have no idea about the new lady in the group and never will bother to find out. *Love you Dawn!!* ETA: Looking at the photos of the new lady with the group, she doesn't even seem to fit in. She looks like a fan who asked to get in the photo. JMO

Cindy, Terry, and Rhona are FABULOUS! Hey Dawn, what happened with Lucy Pearl? Hey Dawn, what hapened with your solo career?

Is that the Joyce Irby from Klymaxx conducting the interview? I used to stay crushing on her & Bernadette Cooper.

I wish they had sat down with MARY WILSON while she was around. They could have learned quite a bit about the biz as well as the politics

Honestly, the original group needs to get their shit together. They are too old to be holding grudges. Put yall egos to the side and make money. If they need to have a pow wow then okay cool but after that leave whats in the past in the past.

Funky Divas - That should be yall new name Dawn & Max.

I understand a lot of what Dawn has been saying on these interviews for the last 2-3 years. But I also understand that at this point in the game Terry and Cindy kinda do run what goes on in the group. They've been there since day one. The first two times Dawn came back you didnt hear any of this stuff about Cindy and Terry running everything. Thats because they treated Dawn's return like they were reunited/she's in/done deal and its going to be like old times and everyone is equal and has equal say. Once Dawn kept leaving out of the blue and returning when she felt like it, Cindy and Terry had to set some ground rules. Come on, people. THats life.

Let me say this if Terry And Cindy wants a true ENVOGUE reunion they have to allow the inclusion of Dawn & Max point blank we never knew until right now that max and Dawn did Don’t Let Go but regardless of what songs they sung if we are gonna do this do it the right way as women. Folks can say Dawn is this and that but this is a collective and you can’t want to reunite but under these terms that is the break down and will continue to be until Cindy and Terry do it organically and let them be a part! Cindy and Terry can own the name and all that but when it comes to saying they can come back but on our terms is wrong. I love all 5 equally but if you want a reunion everyone has a say song selections wardrobe touring whatever you can’t get anywhere divided and they’re divided that’s why they won’t win and I love my babies but get it together this is not rocket science 🧪

Here go Dawn pulling a Dawn 🙄SMH

Y’all are gonna put some mothafuckin R-E-S-P-E-C-T! On Rhona Bennett’s Name!

Tbh, their loyalty to Rona was upstanding!

All jokes aside we need Iyanla to fix En Vogue 💯. There's a lot of truth in this statement " divided we fall, united we stand" can you imagine how powerful they would be if they were to get along and carry Rhona along too😭 I really pray that God helps this group the way he helped Xscape because wow 💔💔

LET GO of your love. You got to let go LET GO of your lo-o-ove

I used to want for the originals to get back together so much but the more I see/hear Dawn.., I'm like, forget it. The record company/management messed up from jump.., they should have released 4 songs where they all had the chance to be highlighted but it didn't happen that way. The starting focus was on Cindy and Terry.., especially Cindy. Hold On (Cindy/Terry) - You Don't have to Worry (Cindy)- Don't Go (Terry) then Lies (Dawn/Cindy)... Part of Me, should have been releases as well as Waiting on You but alas, they weren't. It's a true shame because they are still great but they could've been beyind and truly untouchable...

I’m (not) sorry but if I were Cindy & Terry, I wouldn’t be trying to meet their “demands” either. Max & Dawn especially were inconsistent members, and Rhona is truly the biggest team player. She sat it out back in 2009 just to come back in a rush in 2012 when they both decided to leave. Rhona 17 years in, which is more than half, of the full 30.

No disrespect but my first intro to En Vogue when I was actually old enough to remember them was EV3 and Dawn was already out. So I always thought it was Max, Terry, and Cindy for the longest until I was old enough to research that the group originated as a quartet. So maybe me being so open minded about Rhona being a part of the group is for that reasoning. I don't mind Rhona in the group. My first intro to Rhona was on MMC and I remember liking her voice a lot. It wasn't until I was older and realized that this was the same new chick in En Vogue. So again, I like every lineup of En Vogue.
