Caught maybe half of the biopic. Been at work all day. I'll watch it from the beginning before I make a final judgement call.

A good effort, I wish it didn't end so quickly!

For a TV movie, I enjoyed it.

Ever since Left Eye died, I feel sad whenever TLC is mentioned. This movie was nice because it finally gave perspective from their point of view rather than emphasizing her death.
I also just watched The Last Days Of Left Eye and that documentary was eery. I guess it felt like Lisa had so much more to live for and contribute, that her death has always been difficult for me to grasp.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the movie. Lil' Mama played an excellent Left Eye.

Lil' Mama was very impressive and I like the insight they gave us into Lisa's personality and personal life towards the end. It was kind of comforting to know she died in the place where she felt free.

I completely agree with this:
I did enjoy the movie, and it was a level above a "Made For TV" but not quite the "Theatrical" quality I was hoping it'd match (despite being made for TV).

Lil Mama impressed the hell out of me. I enjoyed the film even though I felt it could have went more in depth especially after Lisa's passing, I was pleased with the results. It still sadden me about her death. Nevertheless, fine acting from them.
Too much focus on the first album era. I wish some scenes were cut so we could have had "3D" era in it

20 sold less than 6k and debuted outside the top-50. We'll see how big of a boost the airing of the movie gives it.

I have a burned copy of Now and Forever (that doesn't play in my player, but that's another story)- is version of "No Scrubs" on 20 the one with Lisa's rap?
By the way- HITS is projecting 19,000-22,000 for the album this week.

^Thanks- good to know. :) The non-rap version feels empty without it.

Yeah, I ended up just making the 20 compilation with all the album versions from their albums (plus the Left Eye rap version of "No Scrubs" from N&F), and then added on a downloaded copy of "Meant to Be" plus "Get Away" + "Rainbow" as bonus tracks.

Billboard.com:
Sales of TLC's '20' Surge by 200%, Could Hit Top 20 on Billboard 200 By Keith Caulfield, L.A. | October 25, 2013
TLC's new greatest hits album "20" is set to fly into the top 20 of the Billboard 200 chart next week.
Industry sources say the set might sell around 15,000 to 20,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, Oct. 27. That could represent at least a 200% gain over last week's sales, when it debuted at No. 72 with 5,000 sold (according to Nielsen SoundScan).
The gain was triggered by VH1's premiere of its biopic "CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story" on Oct. 21. Its bow scored nearly 4.5 million viewers, according to Nielsen, making it VH1's highest-rated original movie ever.
According to VH1, "CrazySexyCool" is also the No. 1 original cable movie of the year among adults and women 18-49. It also logged a 2.9 rating in the 18-49 demo.
"20" was released on Tuesday, Oct. 15, and features 13 previously-released hits, along with one new song, "Meant to Be." The act was last in the top 20 with 2002's "3D" album, which debuted and peaked at No. 6 on the Nov. 30, 2012 chart.

I've been reading up on Left Eye's family's issues with the movie but the only thing I'm really getting out of it is that her sister's name is fucking Reigndrop.

Well obviously who would want to buy a whole album just for one new song. I wouldn't and I am crazy about them. And since Toni is busy burying her comeback once again I can hardly wait for T&C to make that comeback in 2014. At least they are hungry for it unlike Toni who hasn't changed her ways.

They're hungry for it? They didn't appear in the "Crooked Smile" video and performed the song with J. Cole once.

Finally got around to warch the biopic. It was pretty good. I do wish they would've shown more of the story that happened during "FANMAIL" & "3D". Lil Mama definitely stole the show w/her performance.
It's always great to reminisce about the good times w/them. Looking forward to the new music from them. I just hope nothing will slow down the process.

I had a $10 off coupon for Best Buy, so I copped the album today. I love the album art. Especially the back cover with the text from all of the previous single covers.

That was just a stage name, though. As far as I can tell Reigndrop is straight up this heffa's Christian name.
