If you can answer the question “Why won’t this pose just DIE?” I’ll give you partial credit. Otherwise, no clues on who this is … just figure it out.

UPDATE: I decided to be fair to my subscribers and post the “Who Am I?” answers in separate posts. Not that it really matters this time, because no one figured out that this is Rome who sang “I Belong To You (Everytime I See Your Face)” back in 1997. Jazzy gets the partial credit for…

To win this “Who Am I?” you’ll need to provide a few pieces of information. The 90’s R&B group in this photo is still recording, but a few of its members were originally part of another 90’s group that had minor success as well. Name both the group in the photo and the original group.

UPDATE: Since NaturallyAlise got all online with it (which is technically cheating), she was the first to answer correctly. This is Men of Vizion (spelling…

Y’all have been getting really smart-alecky with these Who Am I? posts, throwing up the right answer with the first or second guess. You want tough, I’ll give you tough. The only hint I’ll give is that he had two singles that you’d know – one in 1996 and another in 1998, but he’s trying to come back. Does he look familiar?

UPDATE: I’ve been foiled again thanks to Reg, who answered like five minutes after I posted. He was correct that this is kiddie emcee…

This R&B star hit big in the late ’90s but was more successful abroad than in the states. In spite of the less-than-timely do-rag and nose ring this is a 2008 photo. Any ideas?

UPDATE: I didn’t fool many of you with this one (although I’m mad that Lucille said he looks like his breath stinks in the comments). This is a current photo of Mark Morrison, a 1997 one-hit-wonder in the U.S. in spite of larger success in Europe. He’s pretty much a British version…

This photo comes from another blog, and I’ll give the photographer credit as soon as someone can tell me who the two rappers on the left are. Each of them were a member of different 90’s hip-hop groups.

EDIT: Now, here we are over three months later and Niccolo finally got it. On the left is Chip-Fu from Fu-Schnickens, a group that takes the cake for most dated group concept ever (they must have literally sat around and decided who would be…

I decided to bring back “Who Am I” even though no one solved my last Who Am I? post (Nicco got one of them but I need the full answer to give full credit). So I’m at it again. No hints this time. Please throw up some guesses before Labor Day so homeboy’s ensemble won’t be considered quite so hopelessly tacky.

UPDATE: Positive K didn’t fool anyone considering he hasn’t really aged much except for the grown n’ sexy outfit. Universal Music has disabled embedding…

When I lived in France I learned that the French love R&B. My white roommate had a Montell Jordan CD and played it often, and my lil’ Cameroonian boyfriend Francois had every single CD that R. Kelly has ever made (including remix singles). Seriously, like a whole binder-full of them. Anyway, after one of his characteristic cheap dinner-dates, he broke out this guy’s album, and as I belted out every word he sincerely asked if I had considered trying out for Nouvelle Star (France’s version of American Idol). Oh, those good old days.

But for said R&B singer, the…

This nineties one-hit hip-hopper looks good enough that I’d holla if he didn’t have a few kids.

UPDATE: Kim nailed it with the first guess. This is Candyman who hit big with “Knockin Boots.” I had to look him up because I heard the song on the “Adult Contemporary” station and I just felt so old. It came out in 1990, which is the year that many of this year’s first-time voters were born. Also, who says “knockin’ boots” anymore? Anyways he looks just the…

I didn’t watch a lot of music video back when this R&B group had its glory days, so maybe you’ll have an easier time recognizing them if you did. The only hint I’ll give for now is that they’re down one member.

HINT: Their biggest hit was made extra hot by an R&B legacy guest vocalist.

UPDATE: This was a tough one, so much so that the comments made me think one of y’all might break something trying to get it. Again, an anonymous commenter…
