Chilli And T-Boz Talk About Left Eye's Family Criticisms Of 'Waterfalls' Remake | MadameNoire

[@Aries16603]

"when you've became the biggest selling girl group of all time with your clothes on, it shows that you can do it. you don't have to be naked." - t-boz

[@cindymitchell1558]

It sure does

[@LilShawtyWood]

***** she was naked in movies, does that count?

[@LilShawtyWood]

What's the difference

[@MichaelWilliams-cd9if]

LilShawtywood A movie scene has nothing to do with TLC's musical achievements.

[@Boobalopbop]

Excuse me, but they were not exactly covered up. They would wear string bikini tops with pants... Oh it's ok because they're wearing pants? They're showing their entire breast, but not their ass so it doesn't count? What girl group made it big by being naked? The Supremes?

[@parisdixon7238]

I totally agree with T-Boz, you don't have to take your clothes off all the time...your talents will speak for themselves. I love theses ladies and miss Lisa soooo much!!!

[@ItsDaFairy]

Paris Dixon can you imagine what they would be like now

[@BodyByKymXclusive]

She is a contradiction to herself. She has an album cover nude....

[@1975rochel]

[@DexterHaven]

T-boz had the abs, tho, and showed it.

T-Boz is THE realest.

Like, she has no filter but the stuff she says is so true you can't do nothing but agree.

The Angry Engineer right! I was cracking up but at the same time what she's speaking is real. She's me lmaoo

[@mylife2live]

Yes she is. She was and still is my fav of the group.

[@flex1481]

And, I think she got that from Lisa. She wasn't always the most outspoken. And, of course age and maturity. Bless these girls:)

[@19832006]

People always say chilli is the prettiest out the group but I think the whole was very attractive to me.

[@minkagaston]

I never heard that. For me TLC was always known for being a beautiful trio.

[@pandoraglesmann6214]

I'm not gonna lie the group was always so attractive but Lisa was just so gorgeous

[@mochaIluv]

I always felt TBoz was much prettier than Chili. I always went between Left Eye and TBoz. Left Eye was just naturally BEAUTIFUL.

I've always loved TLC...especially since I grew up with them in the 90s (I'm 38 now). I love Tionne because that girl, KEEPS IT REAL, I think Chilli does too but Tionne is more vocal about things.

[@1DNETTA]

Scott Tee, When Left eye was living, she used to keep it real too.

[@1975rochel]

Yes she does

[@ShonWilsonOfficial]

Always has.

[@princeofsong251]

MY girls always kept it real from day 1 , and this is why TLC will forever be the greatest girl group of all time. Mary J blige, Faith Evans, TLC, Janet Jackson, and a host of many other original divas could never be replaced. They don't make 'em like this no more.

[@ryanbeaty4893]

If you focus on body more than personality, then you must not have much to offer. These women kept their clothes on because they were selling music and fun...not themselves.

[@rainbowrabbit]

I love their defense of Lil' Mama. And T-Boz is right. What she did at the VMA's has nothing to do with her acting abilities. Kanye West did a lot worse that night, which he did again recently with Beck and yet any backlash he received died out fast. So why is Lil' Mama still getting heat after 6 years? I don't understand that.

[@flacotaco6737]

rainbowrabbit what did she do?

[@tatydilbert]

Oinotna 72 she performed out of breath. But in her defense, she was actually dancing and not just shuffling around like these 2. And it almost seemed like these 2 where lip syncing and lil mama wasn’t

[@VDJVivacity]

Lil Mama had gone up on stage at the VMA's back in 2009 the same night Kanye's debacle with Taylor Swift and interrupted Jay-Z and Alica Keys' performance of "Empire State Of Mind" while she had been drinking that night leading up to that moment.

I love how TLC have kept it so real and honest from the start of their career. This is how they built their greatness! RIP LISA

[@dezistorm5228]

beeen in love with T-BOZ for the longest man.....she is jus so real.

[@novalove4790]

This movie did not do TLC justice...however Lil Mama did a stellar job. She really embodied Lisa. T-Boz and Chilli hit it on the head.

only thing they left out was chill was sleeping around with LA Reid ... I think by them having they hands in the project it was told from they own mouths. only person that was made was Pebbles !!!

T-Boz - EXACTLY!!! I'm an old school guy that appreciates a good looking female but it is the talent that speaks for itself...

[@babiphat20]

lil was the best person for the role of Left eye. If there is somebody out in the world who looks, talks, and sounds like left eye even more than Lil Mama then they should have auditioned. Lil Mama was very very believable as Lisa, she did good.

I loved their Crazy Sexy Cool album. They are both still so beautiful. And I agree with T-boz about how girls need to use their talents & not sex appeal to sell records. So many female artists today make women look like sluts with no self worth. I personally find it disgusting, distasteful garbage.

[@acewillingham]

Everything you said is so so true it's a damn they are degrading them selfs like that

[@TheMsklg1981]

Same here. Im so thankful that we grew up in the era where women had more class and talent bc lets be real...alot of artists use sex as a crutch. Without t-n-a some artists would not have had as much success..and that includes the biggest artists out.
