He's clearly a great vocalist and songwriter and he's even clearly a handsome guy and still ppl only want to see or hear him in his group
It be like that sometimes. Some groups just work better together ie SWV, En Vogue, TLC, Spice Girls, 112, Dru Hill, etc.
I was thinking about how Coko, Meelah, Slim, Dawn Robinson etc all tried to go solo but never really popped off. Sisqo was huge for 1 era even he had to go back
Slim had a little shine with So Fly but yeah he's better in and with 112.
I think with Sisqó it was the case of too much all at once and he couldn't maintain it. He had the music, the movies, the doll, the developing TV show,etc. His second album was a bit of a dud too in term of overall commercial performance.
Coko, great singer but never really had much of personality to begin with especially during SWV heyday. She was never personable and it never translated well in interviews. I'm loving this new era of Coko with her blog channel.
Meelah, another great singer but she had no star quality outside of 702 and that's the truth.
Dawn, dope great singer as well but by the time she decided to go solo the music she was making didn't resonate with fans that always seen her as En Vogue member. En Vogue carries a certain aesthetic to them and unfortunately it hurt Dawn's shot at a solo career.
