NKOTB and KATY PERRY both donated large amounts but it doesn't show on Kickstarter if a celeb donates.

I'm happy for them but I have a feeling a lot of people donated thinking this was a total fund for a new album and not for one writing session. They should scrap that idea and just put out a solid indie project.

It doesn't take 150,000 for any writing session. If a label or someone decides to keep a song so that a producer doesn't shop it around then a production fee is charged and the writer still doesn't make anything until the record comes out unless the producer wants to give them some money. They could book a studio in atlanta whether icon/treesound for under $95 an hour. At this point the pressure is going to be on for them to release an album that is actually good since celebs are donating. This could also get some grammy love if the album is any good not just because it's TLC but because the Grammys are suckers for these out the box kind of campaigns.

I haven't been impressed by any of their recent live performances, but I still want to see them since I never got a chance to before. I wonder if any of the VIP packages are for TLC fans or if it's just NKOTB.

I have mixed feelings about the whole situation, but I'm happy for them that at least this Kickstarter thing has been so successful.

It's sad that they need a campaign such as this, but, hey, if it will lead to another project for TLC, it's all good, I suppose.
Now, are these actual donations, or pledges to donate?

This shows they're still loved. I wish some of these current artists the love them so much would throw them a bone. Can't Drake take his love to a studio or J. Cole return the favor? Hell, as much as I'm not a fan of hers, even Katy Perry could bring some attention their way if she loves them so much.

This actually creates some positive buzz already, even overseas. THEY. BETTER. NOT. WASTE. IT. They deserve so much better that Katy Perry. Someone with wider appeal... Not necessarily associated with toddlers. I don't know. I thought about P!NK. Great personality, respected, was active when TLC was still hot. Usher would be great too few years back. However Chilli & T-Boz have other picks: www.manrepeller.com/2015/01/tlc-final-album-kickstarter.html

Have they been trying to get on a label? I would think they could have struck some deal. However if they do get a cd out with this whole Kickstarter campaign I'm assuming they will make a bigger profit then if it was on a major label. I guess promo wise being on a label has it's benefits but it's not like radio is going to blow them up again. So maybe this is the way to go. Plus the people who donate the money probably feel like their part of the process and will end up buying it for sure. They also probably realize they had a tour booked so theirs some promo there. It sounds desperate but apparently their doing ok with the tour and the publicity this campaign has caused.

Random choices, but totally understandable: POP would be spinning it w/o asking questions. Let them dream. :kii:

Meanwhile, have you guys heard the DJ Earworm mashup for the tour?
