“Silly Ho” was one of the first songs I illegally downloaded. It was a demo that was cut off after the first chorus. I hate it wasn’t pushed as the first single. We deserved a video at the least!

I originally ranked Silly Ho as like...top 3 but thought ppl hated or didn't know it so I underranked it. Still doing my best in a rankdown tho! Also, I LOVE Lately, original and remix.

Glad to see Silly Ho wasnt too under rated. I thought with all the hits TLC had this would be forgotten

I hate that I’m reciting that radio interlude after “808” so early in the morning. lol.
I could never get tired of “Silly Ho”, “808” (and the remix) and “Can We”.

Ooh! Silly Ho!
It was my first criteria point for this whole rankdown: is this song better or worse than "Silly Ho," because I stan TLC for DAYS
EDIT: I have 1, 2, 4, 6, and 11 left, so not bad!

I was jamming hard to 808 while driving and in the middle of Natina's verse I remembered that R. Kelly produced and wrote it... that knocked it out of my Top 10 ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png) Talk about blowing my high.

I could wrap this up now but seems quiet so maybe later.
I just realized #5 has the highest SD and I think this is the first RD I've hosted where we make it to the final quarter and the song with the most #1s leaves first. ![:ohsnap:](http://forums.maxima.org/images/smilies/ohsnap.gif)

With “Tell Me” still here, I wonder if Amel is still making music, and whatever happened to the singer who replaced her?

I've been doing my own thing Love has always had a way of having bad timing But to my great surprise, ever since I looked in your eyes I had one question for you...![](https://i.ibb.co/4fyCjZZ/5-Tell-Me.png) @antigonerising : 1 Linnethia Monique : 1 divasummer : 1 newpower : 1 Active Aggressive : 1 B-Boy : 1 bat1990 : 2 Ky : 2 Caviar : 2 SHOOTER : 2 George : 3 Sir Benji : 3 Soulsista : 4 Jay D83 : 5PGriffin : 6 Wavey✨️ : 6 #LisaRinna : 7 Sambalada : 10 CagedJuggalo The Third Tanker : 11 mamooshka : 12 Zinc. : 13 Exclusive : 13 🇯🇲 dollybaby 🇯🇲 : 14 @pma2015 : 15 Don't Say Shit!.indulgecountry : 17 Private Dancer : 18 @mirza : 18 This was the debut single from Groove Theory, a New York duo comprised of singer/songwriter Amel Larrieux and songwriter/producer Bryce Wilson. The pair met in 1993 while pursuing individual careers and started writing and producing demos together. This led to a deal with Epic Records and their self-titled debut being released in October 1995. Tell Me went on to become a Gold-selling top-5 smash on the Hot 100 (top-3 R&B) and propelled their album to Gold status as well. The duo started work on a sophomore album, The Answer, in 1996 but creative differences and a solo deal offer for Amel led to their split. Amel would go on to release five albums while Bryce tried to keep Groove Theory alive with singer-songwriter Makeda Davis but, aside from a couple of promo singles, that sophomore album was ultimately shelved. In 2010, infamous music executive Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond announced he was managing the reunited duo and confirmed they were in the studio recording new music. As of 2020, no new music or further confirmation of their reunion has been released (and Jimmy is currently serving life +20 for murder for hire among a plethora of other charges so that reunion was probably doomed from the start).

#3 was the #1 for a good 1/3 of the submission period and then wound up falling 23 points short of a top-2 finish (even with a plethora of #1s).

You see now actions speak louder than words So don't just say things that I've already heard Don't want your body without your soul I don't want a love who will come here and go...

If You Love Me was the second single released from their debut album, 1995's From the Bottom Up, and would become their biggest hit. It peaked at #2 on the US and UK R&B charts and #8 on the Hot 100 and UK Top Singles charts while simultaneously spending five weeks at #1 in New Zealand. It also earned them a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group (losing to TLC's Creep). Internal strife led to a member switch-up ahead of the release of their sophomore album, 1997's Still Rising. Although they earned another top-10 R&B hit from that album, the sales did not match their debut and by 1998 they had disbanded. A reunion of the original trio was announced in 2014 but, in early 2015, group member Maxee (married to Soulshock of legendary production duo Soulshock & Karlin) tragically passed away after falling in her home and cutting her neck on broken glass. In 2019, a revamped Brownstone did reunite to perform at the legendary Essence Festival and have since confirmed they are working on new music.
