That girl's presence (and the sounds of the new recording, in general) drains some serious life out of that track.

Namie is one the biggest R&B/Pop artists in Japan and she's been out almost as long as TLC. I see why they had her do Left-Eye's parts on the track for the Japanese release. That collection appears to be for Japan only at the moment, and it should stay that way.

The Unpretty acoustic (Track 8) sounds good. I want to hear Chilli's parts

J. Cole's album credits say that they don't have a label.

So allegedly they are signed under LA Reid again...
The Japan 20th Anniversary album is out today......some of the vocals on these re-recordings are just....messy. The new acoustic version of "Unpretty" is really cute though.

Family of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez Upset Over TLC's "Waterfalls" Remake
A new version of the song features vocals from a Japanese pop star. By Jazmine A. OrtizPosted: 06/24/2013 12:24 PM EDT TLC has been busy re-establishing themselves in the spotlight this year in honor of the group’s 20th anniversary. That comeback includes a new album with a re-recorded version of their hit "Waterfalls" minus Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopes, which didn’t sit so well with the late rapper’s family. Some members of the Lopes family feel betrayed mostly because nobody bothered to tell them about the new record. "I did not know about it until a fan posted it online. I mean it would have been nice if they would have given us a heads up before being surprised," Lisa’s sister, Reigndrop Lopes, told TMZ. Reigndrop also says her mother was "hurt" and felt like it was a diss to take Lisa off the track. The original "Waterfalls" is one the group's most memorable songs and spent seven weeks at number 1 on the Billboard chart. Left Eye’s replacement for the re-released track is Japanese sensation Namie Amuro. Lisa Lopes tragically died on April 25, 2002, in a car crash in Honduras, which devastated TLC fans around the world. To commemorate the legendary trio’s 20-year milestone T-Boz and Chilli are also working on a made-for-TV movie series (which stars Lil Mama as Left-Eye) and are planning to go on tour later this year.

That version must have just been done to promote the album, the other version of Waterfalls on the track-list dosen't feature the rap.
Oh and L.A. did offer them a new contract with Epic but Chilli said that negotiations fell through. I hope they work something out though because these re-recorded versions are not hot. I'd prefer the original album/single mixes on the Bipoic soundtrack.

They'd better two step their asses to Epic. I don't care if he's offering them an advance of only Ramen noodles. Nothing's worse than being a has-been without access to your back catalog. ESPECIALLY when a key member of your group is deceased and can't rerecord songs.
GIT 'ER DONE!

I have always liked TLC but what a lazy performance. Totally lip sung without any dancing really to back it up. T Boz just looks totally bored

Hopefully "Crooked Smile" becomes their biggest hit since "Unpretty".

T Boz just looks totally bored TLC rarely served live vocals during any point of their career. They were never known for being vocal powerhouses.... not a big deal. And Tionne had BRAIN SURGERY which left with a half-paralyzed face, partial hearing, vision, and balance.... Her "boredom" is more likely insecurity about those things, and the desire to get finished so she can rest.

Also the medley was horribly mixed also. Sad

If you don't like it then don't watch it. No one is forcing you to.

I've been a fan since their first album. I can share my opinion. That performance was in EVERY way lazy and lackluster. Not just TBoz but everything about it. There is no way the could have a successful comeback; whether it be through a hit single or touring, with performances like that. They should stop. And keep their amazing legacy intact

They however did a little bit of damage during the 'R U that Girl' and 'Come Get Some' era. I think the performance fitted right in the Japanese MTV awards, which were kinda slow to be honest.
