Adrienne Bailon first came to prominence back in the early 2000s after joining the girl group, 3LW. Her career as a singer took off quite fast, allowing her to catapult to nationwide fame and success. After joining the Disney family and becoming a member of The Cheetah Girls, all eyes were on Adrienne as the group of four, comprising of Bailon, Raven Symone, Kiely Williams, and Sabrina Bryan, completely took over the music scene. The star appeared in a number of Disney shows as well, including 'That's So Raven', however, it was her voice that always came to be her claim to fame.
Despite starting off in the music industry, Adrienne stepped away from the limelight only to reappear as a co-host on the hit daytime talk show, 'The Real'. During a segment touching on regrets, ifs, and buts, Adrienne brought up why she never released a solo album or why she doesn't want to sing anymore. The emotional episode had all of Bailon's co-hosts reaching for the tissues, and here's why!
Why Adrienne Bailon Stopped Singing
Adrienne Bailon is certainly one name that you've heard of, especially if you tune into 'The Real'. While she is most known for her work on the Emmy Award-winning talk show, Bailon first came to prominence in 2000 after she debuted as one-third of the hit R&B group, 3LW. The group, which stood for "three little women", had a lot of success, particularly with their songs 'Playas Gon' Play', and 'No More (Baby I'ma Do Right)'. It didn't take much time before she was an established singer, making her way over to the Disney scene and becoming a member of the girl group, The Cheetah Girls.
Adrienne spent years making albums, appearing in films, and of course, having recurring roles on the hit Disney show, 'That's So Raven'. Her career with The Cheetah Girls made the singer millions, allowing her to further her career and sign with none other than Def Jam to release her very own solo album. Fans couldn't wait to finally get their hands on a solo album, however, Adrienne has yet to release one to this very day. This topic was brought up on Bailon's talk show, 'The Real', where the ladies touched on why Bailon has stopped singing altogether.
During the segment, Adrienne revealed that "she loves to sing", and that she sings all the time, simply not in front of people. After sharing with fans that a solo album is coming, Adrienne let the cat out of the bag and admitted that she is very much afraid to fail. The singer was brought to tears having to explain why she no longer sings, touching on her insecurities regarding the sound of her voice, and her experience in The Cheetah Girls.
Adrienne was happy as a member of 3LW, where she was able to showcase her vocals, however, as she evolved throughout her career, fans always commented on how "young" her voice sounds, which ultimately led Adrienne to step away from the music scene for good. Despite her co-hosts Loni Love, Jeannie Mai, and Tamera Mowry all giving her their support, it doesn't seem as if we'll be getting a solo album anytime soon.
