TLC

Reunion time!! The girls of TLC are taking the stage again – for the second time since the untimely death of Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes in 2002. They’ll be joining in on ‘Justin Timberlake and Friends’ for an annual benefit concert on October 17th in Las Vegas in support of Shiner’s Hospital. Adding to this pop orgy, other performers include Taylor Swift, Ciara and Alicia Keys.

TLC’s CrazySexyCool was my life back in 94-95. How could it not have been when it had 4 tracks that topped the MTV Hit List (ah remember that?) in the 90s – Creep, Red Light Special, Diggin’ On You and my personal fav - Waterfalls. You can’t tell me that when they transformed into those water figures in the video you weren’t in awe – that was top technology, right there. Hilarious that I was so young [code for ‘simple’] when this came out I had a hard time deciphering what the “three letters” were that took him to his final resting place…oh to be naïve.

And talk about girl power back in 98 -TLC released their third album, FanMail with hit single No Scrubs – not to mention the Spice Girls were in full force….and in case you weren’t in the know with what a ‘scrub’ was: they were talking to the son’s who don’t have a car and were walking, living at home wit’ your momma, who have a shorty but don’t show love…oh yes sir, I’m talkin’ to you.

Re-live the glory:
