TLC setting the record straight the record company and the group

TLC explains why they were rushed to promote "3D" after Lisa's passing, why they wanted to stop making music and how Left Eye will never be replaced.

[@iamber34]

"The three of us are MEANT TO BE together. "They stayed true to that.

[@LEGENDPantherJennings]

Amen

[@kissit012]

The "particular creative thing" that Lisa brought was a sense of consciousness. Her rhymes were not just words that sounded good together. She knew things and saw things and presented her understanding/perspective of those things in a way that no one else did

[@warrenaray]

kissit012 true!!! And all of her raps were about her life!!

[@ktrb90]

Facts

[@kissame104]

So well put.

[@Zayisillin]

She WAS the Female 2Pac. I been BEEN saying this

[@Judas88-f3m]

Their career was gone soon after lisa. I give them huge thumbs up for sticking around and still going on tour.

[@caramel0911]

TBoz is gorgeous!!!!

[@chefkareem]

[@Tadaia]

Wow they are tanned, glowing and gorgeous! That Georgia sunshine makes for fantastic Georgia peaches.

[@McCauleyMt]

T-Boz looks so beautiful!

[@dansefureva7664]

Tboz reminds me a of a mix of Whitney Houston and Eve...very beautiful.

[@patluciano5321]

Lisa is so amazingly unique in her own way and she had raps only she knew how to do and she will be sorely missed R I P Lisa and Lefteye is forever loving her forever

[@mikeyrebs8259]

Chilli is so Friggin Beautiful !!!

[@BOBBIE041957]

I love these girls and I respect them so much. I think they are smart and talented as hell. I miss Lisa Lopes may she R.I.P. You all look so young and pretty God bless you.

[@MissBaby404]

Chilli was stunning. I don't know how Usher cheated on her.

[@derrickhobbs520]

Looks dont keep a man a dog is a dog thats just the way it goes!!! He really wasnt ready for committment though I believe

[@MelanatedSupreme1111]

@Derrick Hobbs you ain’t lying. Chilli can’t keep a man. She’s pretty but delusional.

[@LEGENDPantherJennings]

Chilli is sexy

[@azaiamichon]

@@MelanatedSupreme1111 y’all stay saying somebody can’t keep a man what can you do ?? I never knew not keeping a man was a bad thing yall weird

[@MelanatedSupreme1111]

@@azaiamichon it is a bad thing when she complains about it herself. She has unrealistic expectations. Girl go have a seat

[@anjelheaven]

Tionne reminds me so much of Whitney at 10:39!

[@jamesde74]

anjelheaven I thought I was the only 1 who thought she favors Whitney

[@4ever_evolving]

"Lisa. Lisa's missing" :(

[@immadrachett3290]

TLC isn't about one person, other girl groups is about one person hmmmm i wonder who she could have been talking about? Hmm. Why am I randomly in the mood to listen to Destiny's Child? Hmmm xD

[@anonimothy5979]

I'm going to need Tavis' old interview with Tia, Tamera and Merlin Santana. Tavis asked Merlin a very interesting question that he declined on answering for personal reasons. It was a great episode.

[@christinasmith7012]

They are beautiful

[@rockster0192]

even skin-tone complexion with no tattoos, just how I like it

[@dontworryitsjustvitinho]

Damn he got Chilli’s number without even asking for it? He got game.

[@Vek_64]

Yes i always said they r great artists as soloist, 3 solo type artist n a group love it

[@hamzatczar9297]

Don't know d host bt he had some really insightful questions...respect man

[@maltababe2678]

No one can replace Lisa 🇬🇧

[@LEGENDPantherJennings]

True

[@barb6868]

They have gorgeous skin!

[@justinspearman8010]

It is hard to say the founding members of a group NEED a 3rd person. If they say they do not WANT another person then that is it. Also, who knows what the future holds for them? They have a fan base that will come to see them perform no matter what, after all the most of us are in our 30s and up anyway. The money is there. Maybe not millions but more than any of us have in our pockets. Do your thing TLC.

[@feliciastafford7967]

I'm totally with them on this. Besides, they've already tried that new 3rd member thing and it didn't go well.

[@vice2versa]

Felicia Stafford what happened with it?

[@kaymadi]

i always wanted to see this! thanks

[@Vek_64]

Ayyeeee ! Havent watched yet n im excited, u uploaded it on my mommy bday, shes passed uuggh miss her

[@LEGENDPantherJennings]

TLC looks fabulous

[@medylemaproductions]

I felt that answer 8:34

[@donnelly39]

Chilli always says it’s funny because :)

[@anjelheaven]

Yes, but the girl was NEVER promised a spot in the group. It was a once in a lifetime chance for a fan to record a song and perform with them. So.....

[@chakclair5004]

Now y'all know he was excited as hell to get that number😂😂😂

[@supercoyboy2]

Yes, it's in the TLC A Capella video! :)

[@1uhot426]

They even laugh in sync lol

[@Missie34]

I love that group !!!

[@You-Toober]

Dam! The girls look especially good here! Sexy glowing tans, looking relaxed and very healthy. Lisa was my fave from the group, but Tboz and Chilli are *HOT* here! Yum yum!

[@LEGENDPantherJennings]

You Toober ikr they look sexy

[@egooden2054]

thank u this is the first time seeing this

[@Love_alirose]

oh I love you guys

[@shawn_gaming729]

looooooooooooove this but i need that first behind the music lol i know im getting on your nerves but im loving ALL THIS RARE FOOTAGE!

[@MrsHarder08]

It's hard trying to watch pass 4:43 when he calls T-boz "Lisa," .... I got kind of confused.

[@supercoyboy2]

You're welcome!

[@0555pink]

that Man is completely smitten!!

[@angelalove_]

Gorgeous!

[@ETYWTV]

Lol chilli had me cracking up

[@You-Toober]

I understand that (i'm of African ancestry). I've seen videos, tv clips, etc., where they appear a bit lighter than what they look like here.

[@supercoyboy2]

Cool & you're welcome!

[@bronaghmurphy5643]

What was the interview at the start of this one where Tionne was about to cry?

[@BAMOORE94]

Do you have the on 106 and park singing girl talk acappella?

[@LEGENDPantherJennings]

TLC forever

[@supercoyboy2]

Your welcome!

[@MightyAntbx]

nice looking women

[@Vek_64]

Lloved that skit tho, but im driving, they played it off good

[@catluciano6909]

T Boz and Chilli would never replace Lefteye because Lefteye is one of a kind and she will never be replaced and Lefteye is the girl in between Chilli and T Boz

[@Seemydimples]

Glad they never found someone lol love tlc 💯❤️

[@Jo-lp1px]

The interviewer asked some great questions

[@isisthomas7628]

did he call "tboz" lisa????

[@isisthomas7628]

yes he did @timmersha carter

[@lil_fairy_on_acid157]

I think he said it like you gotta split it 3 way ... Lisa meaning now u don’t gotta spilt it with her anymore. That’s what I thought he meant.

[@90tlcaaliyah]

I agree people teens now don't have it and when do have some talent they dont have passion or fire that's why music sucks and performances they just stand there hate it. Btw I'm a teen so I'm not hatting

[@derrickhobbs520]

Still to this day 6 years later what they do is not talent trap music is not talent at all! some record label needed to make some music off them or they had famous parents one

[@nicholekelley3753]

Well for one, Usher was 23 years old and Chilli was 30 when they started dating soooooooo that should tell you something. He definitely wasn't ready for an older mature woman 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@nicolemonrue]

Girl groups don't get along with each other and have chips on their shoulders. But New Edition, New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, even the Rolling Stones are STILL together and still tour

[@christinawitham9577]

My name is Christina Witham I am from Washington I say don't do that T-Boz & Chilli

[@maxday1000]

yes she did

[@tomasfoustka409]

Man Chilli slay gurl✨

[@LivMYlif3]

I think that a lot of girl groups came around because of tlc. Tlc inspired people who wanted to be like them so when tlc stopped it was kind of like there was no one to inspire girls like that. I kno there were girl groups before tlc but no any that were AS inspiring

[@blissfulblackabyss]

Lisa was not fucking murdered. You guys are disrespectful. Respect her memory!

[@tammykoch9612]

Count on me

[@0555pink]

what's the interviewers name please?

[@anjelheaven]

Tavis Smiley.

[@shondrelhinton]

They were giving a girl the chance to perform one song with them but replace Lisa

[@1uhot426]

He was a little rude!lol

[@nasiirshabazz5869]

I don't know if I'm reading too far into it but they're talking about a show to get someone to replace left Eye, joking about who's the better driver knowing that that's how left eye passed away was in a car accident🤔

[@aratag.9380]

Nasiir Shabazz yea you reading too far

[@YoItsNohelyDumadag]

umm okay they say left eye irreplaceable but yet they tried to find a girl??

[@AxolotlGamingonly]

They weren't they wish just giving a girl that a chance to come up stage with them for that one show their never replacing her

[@supercoyboy2]

[@SakiLuvzRocco143]

I don't think he's flirting with chilli at all really…he is a dumb interviewer though. he keeps interrupting them & being annoying

[@Jim1971a]

Chili needs some makeup.

[@Igboman87]

What are you talking about?? She's gorgeous with or without makeup!

[@dymeds]

He is so annoying!

[@Yourismouter]

soooo what's the current status of tlc? because I saw VH1's behind the music, and from what I gathered it really was the record company the pushed them into continueing, finding another member, but they just just slowly unwinded and quietly just didn't continue. I know a biopic was made of them, and a greatest hit, but tlc is pretty much done right?

[@thedreamerkid4660]

+Yuri muckraker No they are coming out with a new studio album. The record company couldn't have forced them to keep going because they aren't signed to anyone this time that's why they started a kick starter to help them fund their own music.

[@Yourismouter]

***** your kidding me tlc is still continuing even though they said left eye is irreplaceable and on top of that, they're going the mega indie route? wow!

[@thedreamerkid4660]

Yuri muckraker Just because they are continuing doesn't meant they are replacing Left Eye. It's just the two of them now. Plus, I'm sure enough time has passed for them to start again. After all, some of their biggest hits didn't include Left Eye at all, so it is feasible for them to still be successful. I think Left Eye is smiling because she knows nobody will never replace her and she will still live on with TLC. They are the # 1 selling girl group in America after all.

[@Yourismouter]

***** true! lot of truth to what you say, its just tlc, I can't imagine without left eye, dancing, singing along, occasionally rapping and being the l in tlc ya know? I'm kind of protective of memories I have with some bands like that, like I don't mind getting some of black Sabbath cds without ozzy, but for me black Sabbath is the original band with ozzy, and even have a hard time getting the new cd they did without bill ward on drums. I have that with smashing pumpkins, can't listen to them if its not all the original members lol call me silly but...yeah hehe! :)

[@thedreamerkid4660]

Yuri muckraker Lol. Well I don't think it's that you don't want to "listen" to them without all the originals, I think you probably wouldn't want to "watch" them on live shows or music videos because it would be less captivating. The sound is still TLC, they will still likely use Left Eye's ideas just based off her contribution in the past. So even though her physical body is not there, they'll likely make creative decisions as if Left Eye is there, which she is in spirit. :-)

[@allaboutthecash5652]

The thing about tlc than the other girl groups they always put the pretty girl infront of everybody else but in tlc case they were 3 equally beautiful women so there was no jealousy in looks department but like disney child beyonce was always front in center because she was know for the prettiest one. Same as 3lw they put the prettiest girl in front of everyone else.

[@16Mind]

tans? lol they are black. it's natural

[@xKrimmySan]

missing the point much?

[@lil_fairy_on_acid157]

Lisa will always be a part of you guys but you literally replaced her with that girl ... the one who sung Lisa’s part in your song “ No Scrubs “. How are you going to say that ? Like you don’t make sense .

[@Caotic3]

horrible host

[@bdiaz6081]

Tavis Smiley is just barely literate.
