She came into the act because she was a complete pro. She could learn the routines quickly, sing well as she was a good group singer, and most importantly was reliable. Throw in the fact that she was beautiful and could carry off the glam image of the Supremes and that's why she was accepted.
Flo was wonderful when she was on her game, but she deserved to be fired from the group. She missed shows, was unreliable, had trouble learning some of the routines and behind the scenes was sometimes a pain in the ass for Berry Gordy, Diana, Mary and those working with the group.
While I give DMF a huge edge on their recorded output, in terms of live performances I've seen on youtube, DMC is the superior line up.
