The Supremes Album: “Dream Girls”

If you are looking to buy music from the original "Dream Girls", the original SUPREMES, avoid this one! These ARE NOT the real Supremes on this CD. The REAL Supremes on the REAL ORIGINAL hits, are: Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard, and then Cindy Birdsong. These low budget sounding recordings were made by replacement Supremes hired by Mary Wilson in the 70's, and a few NEVER-WERE's!!!!! Don't buy this, don't be stupid. If you want to hear THE REAL THING, make sure Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard and Diana Ross are singing on them. Don't be fooled by these fakers!

Too bad "no stars" isn't an option. What an unforgivable insult. Amazon as seller, let alone "American Legends" label as distributor should be ashamed.

None of the semi-legendary ladies featured on the photo are inside. To make matters worse, they sing (if you can call it that) to what sounds, at best, like a cheap karaoke track of old Supremes classics that I doubt would get very far in "those" clubs.

I wouldn't even line a litter box or birdcage with this travesty. Didn't The Flos learn anything from the failed "Return to Love" tour of 2000? Apparently not. At the very least, the estate of Florence Ballard should glean some financial reward for the use of her name in their stupid acronym.

I'd like to add that I was baited-and-then-switched-on. The concept of the FLOS is fine, if for my taste they are in a class well below the standard set by their predecessors. My beef, is that on the Barnes and Noble Website, then on Amazon, these images featured Actual Motown Label Supremes Artists/Album images, when the product sold was "Former Ladies of the Supremes", an undeniably fraudulent claim, tarnishing Barnes and Noble's, and Amazon's names, and grossly insulting the Motown/Supremes legacy. If the shoddy, so-called 'instrumental' tracks could be stripped away, exposing the rather undistinguished vocals, the cd's would unsell themselves.
