Toni needs to leave and pop out more babies since that's what she's good at. The bitch hasn't had a hit since "Unbreak my heart." What the hell was this "Hit The Freeway" shit? The neptunes should not be working with EVERYBODY. Where Anita Baker when you need her!

Define a hit?

"I Don't Want To" went to 19 On the Billboard 100.
"Just Be A Man About It" was 32 pop.
And while does aren't very impressive "He Wasn't Men Enough For Me" was number 2 on the pop charts and number 1 on the R&B.
And while "Spainish Guitar" did really bad on the pop charts, it did go as high as 20 on the AC and a remix went to number 1 on the club charts!

I don't think Toni is to blame for this bomb!

Toni, TLC, and Whitney are all lost causes and to salvage them (at least TLC, Whit) would require alot of focus, $$$, and kick ass single...something I'm not sure Arista is willing to do...



TLC already has the kick ass new single. "Damaged" is doing very well at radio and just debuted on the Billboard Hot 100. I hope to God Arista, T-Boz and Chilli wake the hell up and do serious promotion. Cuz this single can turn things around for the album. But they've already dropped the ball a bit by not having a video ready yet to go with the song.




You know what? Some folks don't wanna admit this,but TLC is over.I love them to death,but the thrill is gone.It's just not the same without Left-eye and I think many of their fans (and the girls themselves) feel the same way.They're caught in a no-win situation.They can't replace Left-Eye with a new member (fans would surely cry foul),and they can't really go on without her,as the poor sales of the new CD proved.The best thing to do is just end the group and concentrate on solo careers.Both girls have decent,if not remarkable,voices.

I know they're over after this album. T-Boz is already working with Raphael Saadiq on solo material. But I wished they'd put in a little more effort in getting themselves heard. Go out with a bang. It's not like this album is bad, like Toni's.

Quiet as it's Kept there Were done after"CrazySexyCool"."FanMail" was Kinda Corny in spots IMHO&the truth is like Toni Braxton the past Couple of Records were for them to finally get there Loot as to making Artistic Music IMHO.also to Tour.TLC was Done when Destiny's Child Blew Up because Beyonce was the Lead Singing attraction that TLC never had.yeah T-Boz had a little Buzz but She never was a Solo threat then or Now.Chilli is kinda like the Andrew Ridgley/Jerome Benton,Damion Hall of TLC IMHO.Left-Eye was the Dennis Rodman: Looks Great while in a strong Supporting Cast Role&will kikc some Flavor but enough to make it Solo IMHO.
