I think the difference was that Milli Vanilli was marketed as a legit pop group, while the Partridge Family was marketed as a kid's TV show.

I wasn't aware that the Partridges ever did concerts.  Certainly nobody expected the Partridges to be a peer of Led Zeppelin, but Milli Vanilli was sold as being a peer of Michael Jackson.
