Hello all my faithful TLC fans!! I have heard some rather scathing news in what looks to be the worst defamation of a posthumous artist in R&B/Rap history. Ok, ok...I know that may be a bit melodramatic, but to me, this is along the same lines of the fabolous "Sex in the City" series being reduced to mere primetime cable spot on TBS, without all the things that make it a hit show -- including well, sex. If you're still confused or unsure of what I am actually referring to, check out the news on VH1.com (see link on side bar) and you will sadly become aware of the unfortunate decision by the remaining members of the R&B/Rap female trio, TLC, to begin a reality TV contest in search for a replacement for the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes.
First of all, I remember distinctly hearing from the remaining members, how hurt and angered they were by people coming up to them claiming that they had the talent to take Left Eye's place. If I further remember correctly, T-Boz and Chilli both also said that TLC is done...there will be no more TLC without Lisa. Hmmmm, how quickly we forget!! Besides, the immense lack of respect a reality TV replacement search leaves for a still heavily burning memory of the group's liveliest and most controversial member...and even moreso, the growing cheesiness of the shows like American Idol, For Love or Money, and Please Marry my Dad, it is quite possible that contestants who do show up for a chance to be the new "L" in TLC will deliver an "oh-so-lackluster" performance and a even less impressive "Left-Eye" mentality. Damn!! I wonder if Left-Eye is chanting "What About Your Friends" from her spot up in Heaven. Love my TLC girls, but truly, truly upset and disappointed :(
