Felly

Felly was a model/dancer asked to 'front,' [a=Technotronic], as it was believed actual singer/rapper [a=Ya Kid K] was not photogenic enough and, being only 17 years old and still in school, unable to do the [a=Technotronic] live shows. Felly appeared in the "Pump Up The Jam," video lip-synching the lyrics, though it was actually [a=Ya Kid K] doing the vocals. In fact, Felly's voice did not actually appear on any [a=Technotronic] tracks, and any vocals credited to her are false. It was around the success of "Pump Up The Jam," that both the [a=Milli Vanilli] and [a=Black Box] lip-synching scandals happened, so the video for [a=Technotronic]'s next international hit, "Get Up (Before The Night Is Over)," featured [a=Ya Kid K] doing vocals, with Felly relegated to dancing in the background, though the singer's role was clearly the same as that on "Pump Up The Jam." Felly left the group soon after and embarked on a very brief and unsuccessful solo career using her own vocals.
