Thornton tried it, and soon found work in studios recording demos.

Milk inc, Kate Ryan, Naan

Linda vs Sil According to Milk Inc fansite there are rumors according to which Silvy and Linda argued, because Sil wasn't at the last Blackout concert of the series.
Of course Milk inc fansite says this is not true, and as a proof they tell about the P-magazine photos...
The big enigma is that they say they were published in last week's P-magazine, whereas we all know it was in the P-magazine of mid-September.
Let's hope that it's only a rumor.

Melanie Thornton ep. 2

Melanie 'fled the gigantic anonymity of America' and on the 14th February 1992 went to Germany with only 15 dollars  in her bag. Her sister, who lived already in Germany offered her a place to stay and a opportunity to work with her husband's uncle "Uncle Bob".
 "He introduced me to a lot of musicians. I basically did freelance singing. Musicians that heard about me would call and I would go do gigs. First in jazz and blues, which was mostly the repertoire for the gigs Uncle Bob got me." said Melanie at that time in a interview
