For years I had been upset with their manager Bill Diggins but when he works, HE WORKS.

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. Katy donated 5000. Cheap bitch. Donnie Wahlberg has less coins and he donated $10K

I'll admit that I was like WTF when this campaign was announced. I didn't think they'd get $20k because they are treated as "Washed-up.". This is just great!!! It really does show that they are loved. I hope more celebrities come out and donate to this campaign or give them some free studio time.
I will say the pressure is on. They have to deliver a quality record! It doesn't have to be CSC, but it needs to be two steps above 3D. And it has to be PROMOTED! They should be raising money for a promotional campaign.
And I wonder what are they gonna do about Left-Eye. Will they copy and paste from Supernova? Folks may disagree with me but I feel like a song featuring Nicki Minaj might actually work.

I would return the 5,000 not all money is good money. Go fund your ever continuing search for respect and talent.

I hope we can get a Lisa featuring on a couple of tracks. It wouldn't feel right as a TLC album even though they playing up that "she is in our presence and such". The right producer (J Cole or Kanye) could work her raps into a decent track for the album, I believe.

I'm very worried about the sound they're going for if the names they want to work with are Adam Levine, Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars. No one wants to hear that kind of music from them. I want dynamic contemporary R&B, not flavor of the week pop from today's biggest hitmakers.

I want dynamic contemporary R&B, not flavor of the week pop from today's biggest hitmakers. If it means they want pop-rock type material, I'm not really on board for that. I know a lot of people liked "Damaged," but I was never all that into it. At the same time, I don't want Urban radio trend chasing either. The last thing I want is the two of them doing trashy ratchet R&B. I'd love something similar to what Mariah did with her last album which was like a retrospective of the various sounds she's done throughout her career. I'd love songs that sound like 90s throwbacks, even if they don't do a thing at radio (which, let's be honest, will be an uphill climb for them anyway outside of maybe Urban AC). I also think a song like Jazmine's "Stanley" would be perfect for them (Da Internz could actually be a good choice for them if they can afford it).

I'm not worried since those picks are their wishful thinking. It's nothing wrong in hoping that the top female and male singers that are totally owning it in 2015 did sth for your comeback album... But it's not like any of this gonna happen. Taylor's focused on her 5th album, Bruno should come back to the recording studio and cut some tracks for his LP3 like... yesterday, and he made it pretty clear that he's not so quick to collaborate w/ someone anymore since he doesn't struggle and hustle to pay rent.

But the thing is-Tboz current voice sounds better over pop-rock tracks. She IS my favorite voice in TLC but the last few songs where she sang lead-no thank you. She sounds off key and disinterested. I hated her voice on 3D except Damaged, Girl Talk and Turntable.
A new TLC album MUST have at least 3 features of left eye or it will not feel like a TLC album. Even if they extract her voice to yell T-L-C in the background like she used to do. Fans are gonna want to hear that.
Well they got the publicity and funding they wanted. The pressure is one for them to make a great album. They really do need great producers.

Can I just keep it real. Tboz and Chili 2015 have ZERO interest for me personally. I'd rather just remember the legacy the way it was. There are older acts i love hearing new material from regardless but i have no idea why with TLC i just don't think they can capture the style and manner of what made them TLC and pull it off now.

I could still see Creep,No Scrubs,RLS being big records today especially on urban. Crossover appeal might not be there but they see still can be successful

Ugh, all of those choices, bye! They need to call up Babyface and Jimmy & Terry and stop playing with themselves. Absolutely, not. Why would they want to work with producers that are just as washed up and old as they are? I'm hoping they work with some fresh new talent and make a great album instead of rehashing what they've already done in the past.

Dev Hynes donated and showed support! GET IN THE STUDIO WITH HIM NOW! Take them Sugababes leftovers since they aren't releasing their album anytime soon.

Don't knock those "washed up" producers because Babyface especially delivered a fine album with Toni. I just don't want them to come off desperate with trying to work these "fresh new talent" because usually when these artists are looking for it, the turnout is blah. But to Jazzy's mention of Jazmine Sullivan "Stanley", I think her whole album would be a great sound (and template) for them and including lyrics (Sullivan's lyrics can be racy and TLC were known for that) so I think she will be a great writing partner for them. Especially if she is going to write some of the stuff that she did with her latest album for them.

I also think Toni should experiment with her sound on her next album instead of producing tired old songs with Babyface.

I'll take "tired old songs with Babyface" over her trying to make a dance track pop off like she did a few years ago. She has a certain audience and those people do not want to her experiment. But anyway, Babyface did produce one of the best tracks off 3D album so don't knock what he can do for them. I honestly don't get the expectations that others will have for TLC because they aren't young and I will find it disappointing if they chase trends or go after a sound that seen desperate for a hit.

The magic just isn't there as a duo. You need all 3 girls for it to be TLC. I'm sorry. I think they both could have had somewhat successful solo careers if they had chosen to strike when the iron was hot...post Fanmail. I know T-Boz has done some solo work & features but has Chilli ever done anything outside of TLC? I think some Akon tracks around 05/06?

No one said Toni should do dance. But she can change her RnB game by working with current RnB producers (maybe Miguel?) Anyways back to TLC. You think 'Hands Up" was the best 3D track? Seriously?

Polow giving the beat to Nicole thinking it was going to be a hit for her This is still my bop.

Plus if you are a TLC fan then you must've heard Chilli's 'Game Proof'. Although it was not released commercially, it still tops all of T-Boz's solo material, IMO. However, that being said none of the three were solo artist material.

Anyways back to TLC. You think 'Hands Up" was the best 3D track? Seriously? Yes, one of the few on that album that captures the TLC sound, imo. It was just missing a Lisa's verse, imo.

"Hands Up" was hella bomb. The whole vibe, T-Boz's verses. One thing I didn't like was Chilli's part tbh. Let's not forget about "In Your Arms Tonight".

Chilli was working at length on a solo album with Dallas at one point; I specifically remember reading a post-FanMail interview where she said that she was well underway and had told him she only wanted 3 ballads. Then she moved on to working with Polow and came close to finalizing a deal with Akon but she eventually abandoned the solo route because she was only being offered 360 deals. Personally, I feel her solo album would've banged had she completed it.

Yes! It was being hyped up and everything IICR. I know T-Boz did a few solo joints, but did she ever plot a solo full album?

She did but she never went all the way through with it. I want to know if Chilli and Polow made amends after she found out he was shopping the Straight Jackin' beat to other artists after she had completed the song. She wanted it as a single but when she found out what he was doing she leaked the track herself in retaliation so she could keep it. Silly rabbit.
