  Rolling Stone : Blame It on the Pain
With their long dreadlocks, model builds and smooth dance steps, Pilatus and Morvan made for eye candy that was as easily swallowed as their hook-filled hybrid of soul and pop.
Disgraced, Pilatus and Morvan were forced to surrender their Grammy and disappeared from the public spotlight as quickly as they had burst into it.
Morvan would later claim that they were deceived into taking part in the faux-group by Farian; referring to the scandal, Pilatus told the L.A. Times "we sold our souls to the devil." In a 1997 "Behind the Music" VH-1 documentary, Pilatus described the agonizing shame of the scandal which led to his downfall.

 Milli Vanilli Summary
Pilatus and Morvan alleged that Farian promised them studio time but never delivered, and after "their" song became a hit, the two were so enamored of the celebrity lifestyle that they preferred not to give up the illusion, and continued to lip-synch.
A cable television documentary on the lives of Pilatus and Morvan revealed a post-scandal downhill trajectory into debt, depression, drugs, and suicide attempts on the part of Pilatus (with a premature death from heart failure at the age of 32), and a relatively low-profile life of ignominy on the part of Morvan.
Morvan then spent 2001 on tour before performing in 2002 as the inaugural performer at the brand-new Velvet Lounge at the Hard Rock Café Hotel in Orlando, Florida.

 Essays: Milli Vanilli and the Myth of Authenticity
Rob and Fab appeared in a self-mocking chewing-gum commercial, lip-synching the Care-Free jingle.
The only place I’ve come across any trace of Milli Vanilli in the past few years was on a recent episode of Beavis and Butthead, where the dazed metalheads could only stare in utter incomprehension at the two dancing, dreadlocked men on the screen.
In any case, dividing up the responsibility for the bundle of sound and images known as Milli Vanilli may be a significant historical task, but it does little to make sense of the pleasures of the text.
