TLC’s Upcoming Tour To Feature NKOTB & Nelly?Tuesday, 06 January 2015 16:07 ChrisCyberTLC Ticketmaster appears to have accidentally let the cat out of the bag today when it comes to TLC's upcoming tour. Viewers at Ticketmaster.com earlier in the day were greeted to a new tour announcement - NKOTB (New Kids On The Block), TLC, & Nelly touring in 2015! Ticketmaster has since removed all links to cover themselves, but a quick Google search shows a bit of proof as seen below. Keep in mind it APPEARS to be equal billing for all 3 acts (and not a NKOTB featuring TLC & Nelly), as it's listed as "NKOTB/TLC/NELLY." Innnnnneresting, right!? Apparently the official announcement will take place on January 20th. Stay tuned!

I pity the fools who will fall for this... because you know two or three people actually will.

I will love them forever, but it's about time to QUIT. They are now officially ruining their legacy. I cant believe that z listers out there are getting record deals and they are the only ones who cant find one.

I feel like... they've been ruining their legacy for over a decade now. It's really sad to watch.

I've said this before but I'm convinced they must be super hard to work with or simply don't want to record because they've been talking about this album for at least 5 years and nothing has come of it besides a J. Cole feature and a Lady Gaga leftover. It shouldn't be so hard to get two industry icons who barely write their own songs into the studio with real producers when people like Mya, Ginuwine and Chante Moore (all of whom I thought would've stopped making music a LONG time ago) have been able to consistently release projects on a shoestring budget. Whatever happened with the deal at Epic?
I don't know if this is ruining their legacy, since they are so below the radar no one even really notices their messiness besides superfans but it's certainly disappointing to see them run around in circles.

They're better off doing more reality shows.

They are doing good so far....maybe it could work. I just wonder who they would partner up with to distribute the project

I think getting the funds will be the easiest part. Actually getting them to record good material and have it see the light of day is another issue.

I think getting the funds will be the easiest part. They're asking for an initial total of $150,000 just for "writing sessions." Then they'll ask for even more for recording sessions and mixing. They'll run out of funds eventually, and end up with a ton of angry fans who paid for an album that will never be executed. But then again, I'm sure they'll record one or two crap songs a la "Meant To Be" as thank you gift and that will get their superfans all hard. I mean, I can see this shit coming like I have binoculars [/Drake].

What kinda producers are they hoping for with 150,000?? I mean the top producers take this much for 1 or 2 songs. And this whole creative control got me worried as well. We all know that Lisa was the most creative of the three and T-Boz's version of creativity is the horrible champion song. I am just glad that this the last, seems like perfect closure to the fact that we've all grown up and its time to move on.

Unless they pull an Amanda Palmer and rake in a milli, crowdfunding $150k for a writing session (singular) is pretty ridiculous. I'm sure Dallas would write/produce the whole project for that amount.

So then what happens? What kinda producers are they hoping for with 150,000?? The best in the business! From their page:

Anyone paying them to record more music after releasing THIS just a few months ago is the enemy.

Embarrassing, shameless and utterly a failure of capitalizing on your legendary career and tacky. I love them but no thank you. If you can't get a album out on your own or with a label,its time to hang it up and sit down.

Desperate, but just had to pick up my jaw a bit at the fact they have already made 31k off of this. I won't be shocked if they make their goal honestly.
