Milli Vanilli singer 'blasts pop fakers'

Milli Vanilli singer Fabrice Morvan has hit out at what he sees as "fakers" dominating today's pop charts.

Morvan, one half of the duo who sparked outrage in 1990 when it emerged that they had used session vocalists to sing their tracks, insisted that modern acts are similarly fraudulent with their music.

The star pointed to lip-synching during live concerts and studio technology such as vocal auto-tuners as examples to back up his point. He told USA Today: "It's not about being authentic anymore, it's about [being] entertaining."

Milli Vanilli were forced to return the Grammy they won for single 'Girl You Know It's True' after their plagiarism scandal broke.

However, Morvan insisted that he and bandmate Rob Pilatus handed the award back voluntarily, adding: "We wanted to give the Grammy back. We felt in our hearts that it would be a good gesture to do that.

"But [the press] made it look as though [Grammy organisers] wanted it back. They could have come to my house and gotten it."
