TLC is back: T-Boz and Chilli on overcoming struggle, their impact on other artists

Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas discuss their new album and how they continue to make music after Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes' death.

[@AGilbert_81]

Glad they never added a 3rd member to replace Lisa.

Please, don't give up on TLC's new music (to the fans). Of course, it is not the same without Left Eye but they still make beautiful music that is unique.

[@paulfleischmann8593]

Joshua McCool I wont but I hope they do have left eye on a track

[@TheBrownIsland]

They are too talented and fun to give up on. Each member was so Unique that they still excite people even with 1 member gone. *I don't feel the loss as much as I did when I didn't see them anymore. I'M GLAD THEY'RE BACK!!!* and making great music like "We go way Back" & "Hater". Their TOUR is what excites me the most. FANS all over the U.S. & around the world are anticipating this Tour. *GOTTA GET MY TICKETS!!* They will always be TLC even without Left Eye because they were so close, you can still feel her. I'M GOOD. It's different but really GOOD! #ThankYouTLC

[@LarryBanks85]

Ikr I think this album is better than the last album which was "3D" because I understand why the 3d album didn't go to well because they were still grieving Left Eye and they were used to making music without her as a group so that was definitely a challenge for them but I notice that their some of their songs sound dope on their new album so I believe this album will be lit I can't wait to hear it.

[@captainLoknar]

whenever I hear their voice I still have chills. They have less money than 12 year old tiktokers and that's how society works. it's wrong

[@DMV8662]

Maybe they didn't sell out like every other artist does in music and hollyweird...... They rose to fame completely on their own....

[@aewtx]

Yup, all these hackless Tik Tok'ers with no talent or even sense making millions, yet people with true talent don't. It's only because these hackless Tik Tok'ers know how to appeal to the dumb people of Tik Tok. Just like how Trump knew how to appeal to the uneducated white folks of rural America. It's sad how people are just continuing to dumb down our world by appealing to the dumb and dumber, because that's what will line their pockets.

[@johnellizz]

She's not dead it was a hoax ha-ha. Most news tragedies are hoaxes it's called 'The Theater Of The Real'. In 1999 "The Blair Witch Project" had created a 'found footage' trend so they made a found footage celebrity death hoax where Lisa Lopes filmed her final days...she is haunted by an evil spirit that first kills a boy named Lopes who is struck by the van Lisa is traveling in. Lisa has an apocalyptic dream of the world ending...then the evil spirit get her! She is driving down the road when suddenly she veers off and loses control! I saw a video where Chilli can't keep a straight face and begins to laugh as she talks about Lisa being dead. It's called 'duper's delight' and you see it frequently with these hoaxes. Almost every major news tragedy is like this. It's all fake!

TLC is my all time favorite girl group. CrazySexyCool was the second CD I ever bought. I'm listening to the new album now and as happy as I am to see Chilli and T-Boz keeping the legacy going, it's not the same without Left Eye. Love all three of these ladies.

[@jngazy526]

TLC lover fr life. These ladies did a lot for my self esteem. Listening to your music gave me empowerment. Big ups to these 3 beautiful QUEENZ.

[@evanshiong3557]

What distinguishes them from other bands who lost members prematurely (Led Zeppelin, Tragically Hip, The Carpenters, Nirvana, etc.) is that they decided to just continue performing just as had been done before with one person down. Chilli and TBoz knew that was what Lisa would’ve wanted. That to me is strength.

[@tacothunder2298]

it depends on the type of music, If each member plays an instrument and someone is missing then someone else needs to play that instrument. But i agree with the sentiment.

[@sarahsteventon3364]

It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from you know who tlc were and we all know the words to their songs even to this day. I remember at 15 listening to MTV base at home in the UK dancing around my living room to No Scrubs or Waterfalls. Classic songs that I will never ever forget.
