Nice use of a Slick Rick, sample.

I thought I would be hearing these "modern classics" a lot more often on the radio, but instead they just stopped updating their playlists for the last ten years.

I heard "If You Had My Love" (Jennifer Lopez) on the radio this morning, like it was nothin'. Like, oh we're just playing this old joint that we never cleared off our playlist.

I was more than pleased when I heard a 1993 Toni Braxton song on the radio as the "throwback" though (a different station).

People have no respect for oldschool music these days

Ok

And they still play that 50 Cent in The Club here as if you are supposed to get excited about it or something

That one too!

I need to throw crazysexycool on now

I still love that album

TLC were my favorites back then

thekidsgirl said:

SAME HERE.

TLC much better than En Vogue in my opinion.

scriptgirl said:

as far as??? sound? singing? stage presents?

funkpill said:

You cannot compare the two. Aside from both of them being girl groups, they were two completely different groups. They were also geared to different audiences.

How embarrassing. I was like 22

Love it, but it's my least favourite of the 4 fantastic CrazySexyCool singles.

Always found it funny how this was released at the same time with Madonna's "Secret" and they had the same producer and backbeat. The horns from this song recall Madonna's "Survival" too.

Not for me: Red Light Special >> Creep >> Waterfalls >> Diggin' On You

all of them are great songs though, with the exception of "diggin" being only good, not great.

Christopher said:

I know right? I wish we had songs like this for middle school dances, instead we got "Yeah" by Usher

I love the song as well as this whole album.

Being that this is a Prince fan site, I'm surprised no one one else heard this song as a complete rip of Anna Stesia. The melodies are too close to ignore. Plus they're all huge Prince fans. Especially producer Dallas Austin.

I love this song too.



I miss TLC, one can only wonder what might have been.

sunlite said:

Both have awfully static melodies though.

Great song from an awesome album. "Red Light Special" is still my all-time favorite from 'CrazySexyCool' though. Man, for me, TLC is still the best girl group to emerge from the 90s. Miss them soo much. RIP Left-eye

sunlite said:

I think that's a bit of a stretch, you make it seem it was a carbon copy of the melody, but it's not.

LiveToTell86 said:

I agree Live, they are not that "carbon copies" of each other.

Never said carbon copy. The phrasing of the lead vocal and chord progression are too similar to not hear it. But it's what I hear, maybe not some others. They were big fans of Prince though. TLC even did a cover of "Get It Up" from the first Time album.
