QuoteDawn Robinson, a founding member of the '90s girl group En Vogue isn't against a reunion, but she made it clear she only wants the original members to be a part of it.
The group's original members are Terry Ellis, Dawn Robinson, Cindy Herron, and Maxine Jones.
Dawn Robinson left En Vogue to join the group, Lucy Pearl, only to rejoin En Vogue for a tour in 2005. In 2003, Rhona Bennett joined En Vogue for a five-year tenure before leaving the group in 2008, shortly after Dawn Robinson's return.
In June 2012, Rhona Bennett rejoined En Vogue, for their tour and all of their new upcoming projects.
Now, Dawn Robinson has opened up about the group's drama and a potential reunion, without Rhona Bennett.
During a recent interview, Dawn Robinson said she was doing shows with Maxine Jones as part of The Funky Divas before COVID-19 hit. But she said the pandemic isn't the reason they stopped.
"That kind of fell apart for a different reason. It was a personal situation that happened between her and I. I know it happened a long time ago but it was something I couldn't let go. I just couldn't trust her after that, so it was just personal with me. I always say this. Also Cindy and Terry were trying to get the name Funky Divas. They don't go by Funky Divas, they go by En Vogue. I left in 1997, I came back to the group in 2009 for our 20-year anniversary and we toured the states and overseas. I don't understand why they're fighting to get the name. I thought they were being nasty and vicious. I just said the hell with it. Every time I try to go back and do something with them it just blows up. Some things are just better left undone and finished."
Despite the issues, she said she's open to a reunion, but doesn't think Rhona Bennett should be there.
" I won't say never. My problem is Rhona being there. I think she's great, she has never done anything to me, she's not a bad person at all. I do know that she needs to step back if we are going to do a reunion at all. It just needs to be the four of us. Cindy and Terry have gone out and spent time with the fans this whole time representing the group. They use the name Maxine and I helped build to share with the fans. But Maxine and I have not had the chance to be with the fans. I just think we deserve the time with our fans for what we helped build before Rhona came along."
Check out the full chat below:
What are your thoughts on Dawn Robinson not wanting Rhona Bennett to be apart of an En Vogue reunion?
I mean it should be a group decision I think not just hers.
It could possibly work, but I honestly don't see why Rhona should be excluded. She's put in work too. That would be like DC reuniting without Michelle.
At this point, Rhona has been in the group longer than Dawn AND Maxine.
Dawn seems exhausting. Yall are in your 50's and 60's. Either reunite, or don't. The Earth will continue to spin regardless.
Dawn is so bitter.
Not her falling out with Maxine now too. Ddddd
Ment self.
Dawn is wrong, and Cindy & Terry would be a fool to do it.
They're doing well with Rhona. They perform regularly and are still getting paid. Hell, they just performed at the Billboard Awards.
All Dawn is gonna do is fuck up shit and they'll end up falling out again.
Gurl
Rhona been in the mess longer than you at this point
Accept a 5 girl reunion or get over it... I say
I love how unbothered Cindy & Terry have been these last 30 years.
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv it would be kinda fucked up but...
i would def be more gere for an original 4 mess than the corhona version

I truthfully don't even know En Vogue like that, but fuck her. She left the group and now making demands?
just to end up falling out with someone else and leave AGAIN?
:udontlookok:
They should never work with this bitch again.
They should just add Maxine to the current lineup to piss Dawn off.

Yea.
DC3 is much bigger than DC4. I think a lot people just prefer a DC4 reunion.

So you just ignoring the fact DC4 is when they had their best selling era? No denying DC3 is more popular but the group was established before Michelle came, she literally came in at the peak of their success.
Rhona came in after en vogue popularity faded so people always think she is new but she's been in the group for years and been touring with them and everything

ccccccccvvvv the writings on the wall was in no way, shape, or form the
peak of dc's success. chelle came in as they were already on their way, but they weren't there yet.
stop thissss :dead:

If TWOTW wasn't their peak, what was? Survivor?
TWOW was clearly their peak
Quote from: KYJuvenatiON. on November 13, 2020, 11:10:26 PM
If TWOTW wasn't their peak, what was? Survivor?
yea
the independent women era is when they ARRIVED a bit.
if their peak had been twotw, michelle would be giving a rhona mess. but at this point, more people know dc as a trio than as a quartet. and i guarantee more people know envoge at the original 4.
Eh, I don't really agree with that. Yes DC3 is the more known iteration of the group but TWOTW is their DEFINING era. It's the best selling, most successful, and most iconic.
i mean, yea twotw is my fav era from dc as well.
but the reality is their defining and most iconic era is the era that left the most lasting impression in the industry. and that would be the group as a trio.
whereas with en vogue, that lasting impression is cindy, terry, max, and kelly price's bitch dawn

Y'all act like Tenitra wasn't around for the second half of the TWOTW era. She was in the videos for Jumpin, and SMN. She carried the era too. So there is absolutely no comparison to Rhona.
