Watching This “CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story” Trailer…Makes Us Appreciate the Real #TLC More

Look…legacies are landmines, especially when it comes to massively influential icons like TLC, the second highest selling girl group in history (behind The Spice Girls). Especially since you have to also handle with kid gloves the tragic tale of member Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez, who died in a car crash in 2002.
So, I’m approaching the upcoming VH1 biopic “CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story” (which airs this Oct.) with an open mind.
But first reactions to the first promo trailer for the project….hmm….Well, for one, the liberal focus on recreated music videos feels a bit karaoke at the Comic-Con. Hopefully the actual show features more of the backstory and dynamics between the girls and the Atlanta music industry (Pebbles, LA Reid, Chilli’s romance with Dallas Austin and Usher, and T-Boz’s marriage to Mack-10, etc).
Also…how do I put this nicely…
While actresses Drew Sidora (as T-Boz), Keke Palmer (as Chilli), and Lil Mama (as Left Eye) get into their characters by putting on all the right hairdos and outfits…the footage just makes you appreciate how beautiful the real Tionne, Lisa, and Rozanda were during the TLC heyday. #noshots
You’ll see what I mean….

Let’s hope the acting is better. Did the members of TLC have any input on this project?

I don’t know who put the trailer together but they should be fired. I think the liberal showing of them on set was cool to showcase resemblance but they showed no clips of the film’s story whatsoever.

I had the pleasure of working behind the scenes on the project and the girls did an amazing job! There were moments where I literally cried on set because it gave me chills and it was so eerie of the original group. I was impressed by all the ladies and can’t wait to see the movie. You have to understand, this was a lot of pressure for anyone to pull off. So many haters and negative ppl will have something to say, but when they can get up there and do it better then they can talk. I’m so proud of these girls and it was a film I will never ever forget working on.

They were there almost every day of shooting

Calm down, it’s called a teaser for a reason. They want you to get excited about the film. There was so much backlash about the actresses they chose for the roles that they probably wanted show how true to character they really are. I’m sure there will be more trailers to come. The movie doesn’t air for another 2 and half months.
