Lead singer Meelah Williams (the dark skinned one) gave a VERY in-depth and interesting summary on 702's whole existence on Ed Lover's podcast. Anybody into 90's R&B definitely needs to listen this whole episode and it really shows why girl R&B groups almost always implode after the 2nd album. Lemisha basically got mad because initially she was the lead when the group first started and Meelah was picked to be lead after they got signed. I really forgot how huge they really were before I listened to this. Man.

Meelah dated Mike from 112 too....no :dame:.

So hold up, I'm confused cause I never knew their backstory.

Lameisha, Orish and Irish are sisters, right? Irish and Orish were twins, right?


bolded is correct.

they were the original 702, along with their cousin Amelia. orish & Amelia left the group before the album came out. orish still has vocals or backgrounds on the album and would fill in if somebody missed a show.

they brought in meelah who was classmates with one of them(prolly lameisha) but in the process, she ended up taking lameisha's spot as the lead singer.

orish mustve always been sickly.

she was like half irish's size. that's prolly why she left the group. she looked like a little girl in that soul train clip with subway, that someone posted earlier.

fast forward to '97 tho. I barely remember this. random as f*ck.

anybody remember when they tried to make a comeback without meelah?

they had a replacement. anybody know her name?

I think all they did was that pootie tang song.:laugh: then they came back next year with meelah and dropped that last album.

this is the only time I recall irish singing in a video.
