yeah.. she was 30 and had a kid.. as much as they loved each other it was imbalanced from the jump. not saying it could have never worked but i think they were both too busy and there was too much going on outside of them to put as much into their relationship as they needed to work

[@fayep3328]

the storyline of how the album involving him cheating being a slur buck his guilt feeling regretful being tempted it played to perfection how he felt about chilli superstar superstar interlude omg ❤️ the sweetest song ever but how the tracks played out from beginning to the end it’s like a movie so genius one of the best albums of all time periodt lol

[@nakithajones]

Okay dallas cheated on her multiple times. An got another one pregnant why not you blasts him dallas

[@novalove4790]

Commercially, the relationship and breakup worked for Confessions. But I don't blame Chilli for saying that she hated the Confessions album. They should consider reuniting if possible. They both (hopefully) have done some growing and went through some things.

[@Smileyshanice]

[@expensiveaura]

You can’t miss! This is a very insightful, thank you💗

[@kevinschoenfeld6294]

Break up songs/albums are very popular. Look at Fleetwood Mac's rumors. That's a killer album!

[@KishBish]

omggg yessss.. so many RAW emotions on Rumors 😭 these albums are great bc not only are they relatable, they're full of drama to follow in the tabloids.. even decades later!

[@ryanmartin73]

You can go your own wayyy!!! Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow! That album was good.

[@KishBish]

**pause** oh wowww.. I'm SO GLAD TLC didn't get Cool.. I looove Gwen Stefani on that song ❤️ just like I'm glad TLC didn't get Britney's Baby One More Time.. they were always mad about songs they didn't get lol.. I digress, let me finish watching lol.. heartbreak is a mug! 👀👀🍿🍷

[@Joe_Parmesan]

I thought that they purposely declined Baby One More Time, because of "Hit me" being a main part of the song. It's almost tailor made for them (though Britney absolutely rocked it)

[@KishBish]

@@Joe_Parmesan that could be, I just remember Left Eye specifically being upset they didn't take it.. I'm really glad they didn't bc it was such a Britney song.. the entire moment was perfect for her with that one..

[@sleepnomore6065]
