I doubt your referring to me but I am one of those type of posters.

I just don't like this thread because attractiveness was weighed differently when evaluating a R&B singer. Being able to sing was what made you attractive. If you couldn't sing, you were seen as unattractive.

They came from an era where talent came first & looks were second (yes I realized there have been exceptions to this throughout history). Being talented adds to someone's attractiveness & is part of the overall package.

The style was different back than.

The talent was what made them attractive. Being slim & being able to sing was just enough.

Look at prime Koko. Based on pure looks just cute. You hear her amazing singing voice & that alone adds points on the scale.

Plus it was the none internet era. Didn't know anything about these women personally. Being a celeb use to add to appeal as well.

Latocha Scott is a huge reason Xscape was considered unattractive because she was overweight.

I do think Envogue may have been the best combination of looks & talent. Maxine was the only weak link as far as looks are concerned

Athena Cage was the lead singer from Kut Klose. Based on her just looks could be considered just above average, but her demeanor, voice, style just made her :wow:

fukk all yall for dissing any of these 90s black talent. We will never see anything like it again from multiple black groups to television.
Now don't take it personal.Wacky D was another poster.You cats just know your stuff.I feel you tho.Btw change your avi :damn:

in terms of what? looks? its hard to properly rank them because they were so young. granted, theyre probably older than 90% of us in this thread, but most of their prime clips are from when they were teenagers. i think the light-skinned jawn may have been the only one thats legal. i hope im wrong, but still.

its like reminiscing and debating over who the baddest jawns were back in elementary/middle school. you can only get but so deep into those arguments without the awkward feeling setting in.:laugh:

meelah is still piff tho. i havnt seen the others in ages.



nah. shorty with the long-hair was so dope in that video.

the other 2 were okay. they looked better in other clips.

extremely average looking group tho.



EARLY FRONT-RUNNER FOR TELEVISION MOMENT OF THE YEAR!!!!!

MAN, I WISH I WAS A DOCTOR NOW!!!!

TENT INSTANTLY PITCHED!!!!



looking back, lol @ people having vocal arguments over total.

i know the thick one had chit on smash for a minute tho. another pioneer.

we thought pam was dyking. she used to go with mase tho, right?
That 702 joint with Subway was fiyah.702 had joints too.Steelo,Get it together

I feel you breh, but at the same time, Mariah Carey was out.....and she had the looks game on LOCK. Even a young Faith Evans had me smitten as a kid. Toni Braxton was bad back then too. Chante Moore, too.

I really can't remember being attracted to anyone in female groups period when I was a youngster. Maybe Salt from Salt n Pepa? However it never stopped me from listening to their music.

But it seemed the most attractive chicks were solo artists.

We'll agree to disagree

Your post just shows how subjective looks are, because a young Faith Evans is NOT seeing a Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron, Dawn Robinson, TLC, etc

With the exception of Toni (brown skinned), you listed all light skinned women so you clearly have a type.

Classic Niccas
Hence their monicker... sistas with VOICES!!
Not sistas with DIME FACES.
*sighs*

lelee had an 8-face at the very least.

i dont stan chicks with a lower face rating than 8.


LELEE THE QUEEN OF THE '90S.

i think she gets downplayed because shes too much of a "hoodrat". i'd put her up against any of those glamourous r&b chicks that people prop up.

20 years ago for me, it was all about lelee and TLC. my childhood celebrity crushes.


i went wild when i saw that chit b.

it shouldve been me.:noah:

whoever put the video up, got the title wrong tho. she was there for a brazillian butt-lift. she didnt need no liposuction. that was coko.......and this chit resulted in one of the funniest reality tv show moments ive ever seen. granted, i dont watch much reality tv, but still.

That 702 joint with Subway was fiyah.702 had joints too.Steelo,Get it together

oh yea, in terms of joints, they up there.

they got classic joints. i dont know about them having classic albums tho.

meh. you lost me here. i'll take lelee over all of them, but i gotta admit that she aint messin with chante moore.

faith evans was not fine in the '90s. she was just light-skinned.

i never got the hype for toni braxton.

mariah was cool, but i was never into the mulatto look.

chante moore tho.......:noah:

Yeah, thanks to the internet, fake asses from weak ass talent, and people addiction to porn, the talented type of chicks ain't gonna get shine like that again.

Nope.

I dont have a type. I didnt mention En Vogue b/c I forgot about them. A couple of them were good looking though.....but TLC not so much. I was never a fan of the dressing like boys baggy look. I mean of course everyone thought Chili was the best looking one tho

With the exception of Toni, there were no medium-dark skinned women making solo music back then. And don't even try to tell me Mary J Blige.
