 Milli Vanilli - All Or Nothing
Perhaps a lot of the condemnation arises from indignation – not indignation caused by the fact they pulled a sham and didn't actually sing during their concerts (there are plenty of others that also don't), but rather indignation at the fact most of us were completely fooled by the illusion.
The plan was genius – with the physical appeal of the two models and the juiciness of the highly polished pop tracks, Milli Vanilli quickly scored five chart-topping singles, a Grammy Award and sales that exceeded 30 million copies worldwide (seven million in the U.S. alone).
Once word of Milli Vanilli's deception got out, the general public reacted so harshly that Arista Records quickly pulled the record out of print, so if you are looking for a copy of the band's original album you'll probably need to seek out an import copy of their European debut.

Milly Vanilly fueron usados por el productor Fabrice Forban, porque ellos querian cantar con sus voces, pero este productor los presionaba para que siguieran con el engaño, igualmente no podemos negar que los talentosos eran los otros, luego estos intentaron sacar un disco con sus propias voces y fue un fracaso de ventas.

They would later release an album as "The Real Milli Vanilli." Shaw was the one who first spilled the beans about Rob Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan (the faces of the group) not being the voices on the record.
To me it didn't really matter that they weren't really the voices or talent behind the music, their performances on the videos and live-concerts was enough to sell as many records as they did while they were at the prime of their careers.
The whole Milli Vanilli saga took a tragic turn when Rob Pilatus committed suicide in 1998 at the age of 32.
