S/S Saturday Selects: Girl Groups We Wish Would Make a Comeback

The late 90s/early 2000s were filled with awesome girl groups, mostly of the pop and R&B variety. Here we pick the ones we wish would make a comeback:

"blowin up my pager say you want a chance, listen when I say player please"

Sam’s Pick: 3LW

Okay, first, if I’m being completely honest my first pick would be Dream, but considering I just wrote about them, I thought it would be fair to reminisce/talk about another group that was definitely in rotation: 3LW.

Baby I’mma Do Right was my Jam. Playas gon play? Yeah, that was my jam too. Basically, everything was right with the world until they got rid of the one girl and decided to join Raven Symone and some other chick in a Disney movie/girl group: The Cheetah Girls. WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!

Let’s get some more great lines, like “here go a quarter go call Tyrone” and we’ll be set, okay guys? Thanks.

Sarah’s Pick: Nobody’s Angel

You’re probably thinking, “Who?” That’s okay. They only had one hit song, “If You Wanna Dance.” If you listen to it, I guarantee you’ll go, “Ohhh, that song!”

I was really stumped when I was thinking of girl groups that I want to make a comeback then I remembered that song and had to Wikipedia them. After I found this little nugget of information I knew they had to be my pick: Jennie Kwan (a.k.a Sam from California Dreams) replaced one of the original members of the band! Um, Sam was in a real life band? Crazy.

Anyways, they were in a couple of Disney soundtracks here and there (The Parent Trap, 101 Dalmatians, and The Princess Diaries) so I guess they were pretty legit. Can they reunite and can Jennie Kwan bring her other California Dreams friends too, please?

Dream

HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES YOU NOT.

And so every girl rocked out in her room to the sounds of this girl-group made famous by the man himself, P.Diddy., in 2000/2001. (Y2K FOLKS).

This group was great. Honestly, they had the pipes. They had the catchy tunes. They had the media-mogul himself backing them… until they didn’t. They were featured on an episode of Cribs, the MTV show where superstars get to show off their cool pads and make you insanely jealous, and on that episode they basically make a dig at P.Diddy for not inviting them to his parties.

Bad move, ladies. They had two pretty successful songs (“He Loves U Not” and “This is Me”). After that, one girl left to pursue an acting career, and they held a search for a new member. They then debuted a new, sexier image and song. By end of 2003, these girls were never seen again on TRL. RIP.
