SWV Unveils "The Queens of R&B" Season Finale, Group Fallout, "It's About Time" Anniversary Tour

SWV has completed the first season of its reality series "The Queens of R&B" and, s One takeaway fans can take away from the show is that there was never any social media hype for Sisters With Voices.

After debuting in March, a series that began as a chance to capitalize on the empowerment of Women of SWV and Clash of Xscape turned into a competition for social status, as the two groups battled it out for the title of headliners. The added drama of Xscape's internal issues also took center stage as fans tried to keep up with the growing tension between the LaTocha sisters and Tamika Scott.

The season wrapped up Sunday night, as the bands finally reunited to perform at Ontario, California. On a time crunch with several unresolved issues, the two groups of singers put together a performance that satisfied their audience and each other.

However, the fate of Xscape remains up in the air as the band continues to perform without LaTocha. In the finale, the tension came to a head when Tamika confronted her sister about questionable business dealings. LaTocha recently released her solo gospel album, "The Invitation: A Conversation With God," on April 7.

As the band continues to tour, now in the 30th year after releasing their debut album "It's About Time" (1992), the three women opened up about the show and how online fan conversations pushed a diva riff between the two bands.

There seems to have been a lot of fallout since the show started airing. What did you think of the fan reactions and everything that happened?

Coko: Honestly, I didn't expect all that. People are so disrespectful, but we got a lot of love too. I certainly didn't expect to be hit like we've been lately. It's just crazy.

This whole show started with female empowerment. There were so many people who loved both SWV and Xscape. For it to end like this, where do you think it came from?

Taj: It came from interaction. Regardless of what happened on the show, if both groups had backed off and let the fans do the talking, that would have been fine. But when you engage fans, you give them reason to talk and you make them believe the things you say because you talked. It is simply unnecessary. I know I'm not going to spend all day sitting on social media arguing with someone I don't know who isn't paying my bills.

Lelee, I noticed you were quite active on social media, especially after the show . Where do your "Twitter fingers" come from?

Lelee: One thing I hate is a bully. I feel that way about me most of the time because people will push me. Sometimes this monster inside me will stay asleep for a long time and it's scary when it finally comes out. It's really bad. So I just got tired. I said, "Okay, I was told to commit, just talk about the show, whatever." Then I get all this crazy stuff, like now it's not about the show anymore? Now it's you and me. It's personal now so I don't like to come to that. But I'm not gonna let you say what you want to say about me and I'm just gonna stand there like a Chia Pet because that's not it at all.

Then what's crazy is when the smoke clears you find out that they were just doing shit on the internet. But I just have to get away with it for a minute because I'm not on it. I will be 50 years old. I don't have time to fight without children. At the same time, I'll call the kid. Don't twist it. Like, I'll take the high road. It's just how you respond. But listen, we are here. We have real careers. We have nothing to do with anyone and anyone.

Throughout the season, SWV and Xscape clash over issues such as co- headliner and the decision to close the final performance. Can you tell me where some of the tension comes from in a...
