YOU CANNOT PUT 10 YEARS INTO 2.5 HOURS

Ian & crystal and straight from the A. …. get over it! This movie was for the fans not for people who want to be acknowledged in a film!

I believe with most groups that get started, until they find the right combination everybody is involved. Im not taking anything away from Crystal but she made a decision to not sign that day. That decision stopped her from being TLC. T-Boz, Chili, and Left eye signed without an attorney, parent, advisor etc, that decision made them TLC but cost them. I can say the same for the decision that Left Eye made to go to Honduras but not the other leg of the tour, maybe she would not have died in the crash. It is about Decisions. Good bad or indiffernt, we have to live with them. This wasn´t a mini series, if so then maybe they would have had time for JD, Usher, the marriage to Mack 10, etc. It wassimply a biopic, a small peek into the world of TLC.

I would of loved for it to have been a mini series just because everyone has been saying the last hour seemed rushed because of all the information that needed to be covered. The group ended up with the members that should have been there because I don’t see them as being as big as they are had Crystal been in the group. I just don’t see any star quality in her. Chilli fits better with T-Boz and Left Eye.

Never satisfied…..dang the movie was only 2.5 hours even less with commercials. They should be grateful no one would interview crystal and what’s his name otherwise….on to the next I need to see the story of new edition next

Crystal wasn’t a great singer so that part was true. You can tell. A star whether a has been or not, is always ready to blow and show what they got. She opted not to sing, figures. If she came up with the group name then fine. That was good. My point is don’t take away from the creativity of those three ladies that were apart of TLC when it was all said and done. Regardless of who came up with what concept, in order to truly be as big as they were, THEY still had to deliver and they delivered for damn sure. They were the hottest group back then and it is what it is. I agree the movie should have been as long as the Jackson 5 movie or a lot longer than it was because there’s only so much that can be squeezed in within a 2 hour time frame with such a deep story as theirs. I enjoyed it. That is all.

I liked the movie. We all know that the whole story could not be told in 2 1/2 hours. But, if you were a TLC fan, you got a lot of information from most of the interviews TLC completed over the years. So, you realized that some of the things in the movie was "creative license".

We all know that there will always be someone "salty" about something. Crystal seemed like a girl with some sense. But, I would have liked to know why she did not take her manager with her to the contract signing?

This article is some str8 up bullshyt….umm, how do YOU know the movie told a slanted truth?….I hope it ain’t just because these two MFers got on the radio seeking attn they aint gonna get….

Crystal needs 2 get over it…at the end of the day Chili was a better fit….Crystal & Ian should have went & started their OWN thing elsewhere if she was sooooo phucking talented…..

Crystal & Ian are Non-mutha-fuckn-factors…..I would imagine ATLien is cool with these ppl so she felt it her duty 2 "advocate" on their behalf…..Atlanta can be such an ass-kissy town….LMAO at this article….

….and I will be glad when V103 gets some REAL hosts in the mornings cause I miss Frank & Wanda….

I personally feel that from looking at the film that all of the stuff that was left-out was irrelevant. Not to diss the ones pivotal in creating of TLC, but it seemed this was more about Left-Eye than anything else. T-Boz and Chilli were more than willing to showcase their character flaws and whatnot when dealing with her just to show how much they would later love and appreciate her. They wanted to make sure that they painted her in a more positive/real light. So I took it as a tribute to her.

So this movie was not about anyone else but TLC so why does anyone else matter… I understand that Crystal is upset but as for Ian this is not about you it was about TLC point blank period.

This was a great informative read. I caught some of that shade though LOL

I think they were probably given a certain length that the movie could be, had multiple options, and picked one (in my Kelly Price "editing job" voice). Tionne-Lisa-Chili was the TLC that everyone knew, not Tionne-Lisa-Crystal so they probably just focused on their stories.

Thank you for this post. I was wondering what happened to the original member. There needs to be a movie, not 2.5 hours. More like 5-6. Because there should be some more people getting sued, like the orignal person suing Peebles for using her initial "C" and giving it to someone else. IJS. I could be wrong.
Thanks anyway.

That was very well put Michelle what you just said was basically the story that was told to me as well. I knew that the TLC movie was not going to portrayed right. I felt like it was a lot of key and informative pieces missing when I watched this movie. People say you cant put a whole life story into a couple of hours well that may be somewhat true but if you gonna do a story do it right and tell the truth don’t do a story on your life and tell half the truth. If you want people to learn. I felt like the movie was a waste of time they really didn’t say anymore than we already knew Chilli did an interview years (+) ago about her abortion and her relationship with Dallas. And that was messed up how Jermaine and Rico was key players in the TLC group and didn’t get a drop of credit. If I was them I would cuss them Heffas out I wish Lisa Lopes was here I would really wanna see how the movie would of turned out then !

Not too many people outside of Atlanta were familiar with the beginnings of TLC. The general public is familiar with Tionne, Lisa, and Ro so I understand why the movie was done in the manner in which it was. BUT I also understand why Crystal, Ian, and even Jermaine would feel some type of way. I didn’t expect the movie to include everything and I definitely didn’t expect it to be 100% truth. You couldn’t possibly portray 15 years of life from numerous perspectives in 2 and 1/2 half hours with 100% accuracy. Not going to happen- EVER. It was easy to write Crystal off the way they did b/c she wasn’t consulted.

Also, i thought the Movie was okay…on a scale of 1-5, five being tops….i give it a 2.5….i believe it could have been more emotionally packed…the things these girls went through…the movie did not portray that to it´s fullest….And there were many scenes that looked as if they were just fillers…during those moments they could have incorporated much needed information. As far as Crystal – the way Lisa and Tionne came off by letting Pebbles just throw their girl to the side…just did not look good on Lisa and Tionne´s part. They could have spoke up a little bit…or maybe that was not put in the movie. I´m sure TLC would not have made it in front of LA Reid if that girl Crystal could not sing…cuz the movie clearly made it clear – that wasn´t the first time Pebbles saw the group…because she obviously named them. So, if she saw the group before and then all of a sudden the girl Crystal cannot sing – that didn´t come across as making too much sense.

I’m curious as to why Chrystal waited so long to share her story? This is my first time "ever" hearing about Chrystal. Welp! There appears to be renewed interest in TLC,this is Chrystal "new" opportunity take advantage of it.

Question:
Do T-boz and Chilli own the name TLC now? (Anyone can answer if they know)
