| | But if Milli Vanilli’s songs have been expunged from the collective memory, their disgrace remains a critical episode in the narrative contemporary popular music tells to explain itself. | | | Pop music hangs on to the folk-era image of the individual artist communicating directly to her or his listeners. | | | They were the recording industry’s sacrifice meant to prove the integrity of the rest of their product — as if the music marketed under the names U2 or Janet Jackson WEREN’T every bit as constructed and mediated, just because the voices on the records matched the faces in the videos. |

| | Rob and Fabrice knew it was a matter of time before they were found out, and threatened to announce the truth to the public themselves if Frank Farian did not allow them the opportunity to bolster their careers against the inevitable backlash by singing on their next album. | | | But when record producer Frank Farian signed them with a promise to do their first single and instead contractually forced them into creating a lip-synching act for some prerecorded dance tunes, what seemed like the culmination of a dream became the start of an international nightmare. | | | The tours sold out all over the world, and the group sold some 30 million singles and 14 million albums. |
