Milli Vanilli “Girl You Know It’s True” Song Skipping
When you’re listening to your favorite albums and songs, the last thing that you want to hear is the songs skipping over and over. The technical glitch ruined Milli Vanilli during a performance of “Girl You Know It’s True” in front of a large crowd of people. Imagine 80,000 people looking at you at Lake Compounce in Bristol, Connecticut, only for you to be getting into the chorus for the lyrics to start repeating endlessly. Not only will you want to die on the spot, but you’ll also be less than “true” as the missing lyrics said! This mistake signified the beginning of the end of Milli Vanilli. Rob Pilatus said this himself during an interview with the LA Times in November 1990.
When their voices became stuck in the computer, it kept repeating and what did they do? Run!
Even after Milli Vanilli ran off the stage, the group still went on to win three trophies at the AMAs in January 1990. They even won a Grammy for best new artist – even with the lip-synching song-skipping scandal that ruined their careers!
