TLC is making a reality show.Its gonna be their quest of finding a replacement 4 Left Eye.Its gonna be on FOX.im kinda sad...I know its not gonna be like it was b4 though but I'll try 2 have an open-mind.

Are u serious? I thought that after 3D it was over? Oh well. TLC has to do what will fit them best. It will be weird seeing someone other than Left Eye in the group but if Destiny's Child can do it, then TLC can too. Hopefully it'll be without all the drama.

what...the...hell?

I have to wonder if this is true too. If so... I don't begrudge TBoz and Chili moving on with their careers, but trying to find a "replacement for Left Eye" seems so...impersonal. I wasn't a huge fan of TLC, although I dug some of their songs somewhat. But if anybody thinks it'll be the same from a chemistry standpoint they're mistaken.

ITS TRUE...I WOULDNT MAKE THIS THREAD-TRUST ME GO 2:

TYPE IN TLC AND GO 2 THE NEWS SECTION

This stunt seems to be a bit contrived. Lisa " Left Eye " Lopes is irreplaceable, and I wouldn't support the new group if they kept the TLC name. I am not opposed to Chili and T-Boz continuing with their careers, but they should form a whole new group. I hope they're being paid well for this show.

well Im not surprised. T-boz & Chilli have some sh*t to get off of their chest.

I hope they use a different name but then all the notoriety and the "contracts" are in TLC. It makes me sad but hey

business is business

and considering what they both have been going through in their personal lives I understand the need to create and the need for $$$$$



and because of that I will support them as I have in the past.




RIP Lisa

this is HORRIBLE

Ok, ok. Sorry.

it's definately true...check thit out from entertainment weekly...

the worst part is... INXS IS DOING IT TOO!!!

waht's wrong with people?


Battle of the Bands

TLC, like INXS, seek new singer via reality TV -- As on CBS' upcoming show seeking the next Michael Hutchence, Fox will help Chilli and T-Boz audition a replacement for Left Eye by Gary Susman

It's unclear whether the chosen singer would tour or perform on albums with T-Boz (left) and Chilli

''You cannot replace a TLC girl. You can't do it.'' That's what Rozonda ''Chilli'' Thomas told EW.com in September 2002, six months after the death of fellow TLC-er Lisa ''Left Eye'' Lopes in a car accident. But Chilli and Tionne ''T-Boz'' Watkins have apparently changed their tune. The Los Angeles Times reports that the two surviving members of the R&B trio will audition a replacement for Left Eye via a reality show being produced by Fox Television Studios. A source close to the talks between the studio and the band confirmed to EW.com that a show is in the works that will find TLC a new vocalist, though the source said that it's premature to say whether the new singer would tour or record with the band beyond the scope of the show.

If the premise sounds familiar, it's because reality guru Mark Burnett (''Survivor,'' ''The Apprentice'') announced this week that CBS will air a similar show next summer, called ''Rock Star,'' that will find a singer for INXS to replace Michael Hutchence, who killed himself in 1997. Fox Television Studios, a sister company to the Fox broadcast network, has yet to announce a network or an airdate for the TLC show, but it could be yet another bone of contention between Burnett and the Fox companies. He has tussled with the Fox network over the editing of his new summer series, ''The Casino.'' And he's grumbled that two of Fox's forthcoming shows, one featuring Virgin tycoon Richard Branson and another featuring a boxing elimination competition, are knockoffs of Burnett's NBC shows, the Donald Trump-centered ''Apprentice'' and the upcoming Sylvester Stallone coproduction ''The Contender.''

''It just makes me laugh,'' Burnett said to the Times when asked about the TLC show. On the other hand, his ''Rock Star'' owes at least a small debt to Fox's ''American Idol.'' Also, the TLC show has been in the works for several months, said EW.com's source, who declined to offer specific details about the show's premise. After all, some other show might copy the ideas.

this fucking sucks. i cant even believe it...then again....its the almight dollar isnt it

What is sad about this was they said she wasn't going to be replaced and they were done with TLC. That's why I find this really upsetting. I don't even own TLC albums and I certaintly won't support this. What a shame!

Even if you are thinking "it's just TLC", don't you think they should honor Left Eye by renaming the group? (same for INXS)

I wouldn't mind another solo joint from T-Boz (remember "Touch Myself" from `96? Love that track! Little Feat drums and vocal sample from Salt-N-Pepa).

What I want to know are they going to be auditioning a rapper or a singer? I'm more then sure they will never recapture the chemistry they once had with Left Eye,but it would be quite intresting...I'm not all hurt by the situation,I say hay bring back that chick LA Reid dogged in the first place,the one who conceptualized the group Crystal I believe is her name I'm sure she couldn't have been anymore standoffish then Lisa....
