I haven't watched American Idol in a loooong time. But I only watched it to see my favorite girl group, TLC, perform! They did great too! RIP Left Eye I miss you and Happy Birthday!! :)
@igl223 I seriously CRIED when they came on. Not because I was sad, but I was just so extremely surprised, the tears started flowing from no where. I guess lots of emotions became stirred up on their own because their performance brought up so many memories. Too much nostalgia in such a little amount of time. It was crazy. (Rest in peace Left Eye :(
Yes, it's always sad not seeing Left-Eye but I'm gonna first in line to buy their new album this summer. Lets them know you support them and GOOD music.
Loved it and I can truly day that I'm not suprised that they still got it because they are legends and the best group ever and I know that if lisa was still her that she would be doing the damn thing to. And for who all doesn't know lefteye's birthday is in 2 days may 27
I seen a rainbow yesterday But too many storms have come and gone Leaving a trace of not one God-given ray Is it because my life is ten shades of grey I pray all ten fade away Seldom praise Him for the sunny days And like His promise is true Only my faith can undo The many chances I blew To bring my life to a new Clear blue and unconditional skies Have dried the tears from my eyes No more lonely cries
They really got me hyped w/Lil Jon doin "Come Get Some" intro...they need to come back with a new album w/special guests!!!! I really miss seeing them on stage!
@calvinLEFTEYEboy Yes you are correct. Tionne is finally returning to music. Both her and Rozanada are signed to Interscope Records, however Tionne is the one doing the music, while Rozanda is assisting with the writing and all. Its gald the two can remain friends and work together.
@anjelheaven Left Eye was still represented as you could still hear her voice on the track they were lip syncing to. But a quick vid or couple of still shots up on the vid boards would have been a nice touch and in keeping with their other post-Left Eye performances. Either way, it was great to see them again!
They are def singing live. The reason some people can't tell is because they use backing tracks as well, which will of course be perfect. Just plug in some earphones. You can tell it the most with T-Boz's breathing as she sings. Also, ask yourself why they keep adjusting their mikes.
@ragethesystem91 Ofcourse they've sang live before. Search: TLC Unpretty live 1999 -- completely live TLC-Baby Baby Baby(Live Apollo Theatre 1992) -- completely live "Creep" and "Red Light Special" @ SNL was live. These are just a few off the top of my head. Also ALL of their performances from their debut album are live.
I couldnt believe they were there! When ryan seacrest said, "TLC"... I didn't believe him or I thought he meant some song or some other band... I was SO happy to see them performing again even though Left Eye wasn't there.
@anjelheaven I didn't ask American Idol to book lip-syncers on their show. I was TRYING to watch something I enjoy, but they kept interrupting with crappy performances.
@jowdan101 I'm sure it wasn't their decision. The show probably only gave them so much time. T-Boz and Chilli are always paying respect to their sister, have you seen any of their recent performances (excluding this one) and interviews? Besides, TLC will always be T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chilli so whenever you see them Left Eye is being represented.
@MrAntecedent Having watched it live in HD, I can assure you they were lip-syncing. And it's not that they were out of sync, you can tell by the different (studio) audio quality. Gaga did the same thing, but it was more obvious because she actually stopped singing while her voice continued.
@igl223 no u wheren't the only one. i kinda did and was shock when i saw them on there. chilli even said no left eye so no more tlc anymore. this would be cool if this their comeback but i already know their not coming back anymore. chilli even said their not going to find another member because it will never replace for left eye spot.
AmIdol really out did itself with a great final show, but the TLC appearance was the best part of the night. Chilli seriously doesn't age. I could have done without the other female idol contestents joining them on stage, as the ending just didn't work for me. But I shouldn't complain, it's TLC on Amidol, what a nice surprise! I just wish they would try to make more music together, there is a serious void right now in music, so what if they're older!
Left Eye was an amazing member of TLC. She could sing AND rap really well. If she was still alive I bet that she would've had a successful solo career like Nicki Minaj by now. The other 2 members would've had their own solo projects too like the Destiny's Child members.
TLC was as real as it gets. It is a shame there aren't any girl bands out there who have fun songs but also incorporate powerful messages. Damn do I miss the 90's
been a fan of tlc since 94. they're singing live. listen to 1:10 when T sings "if at any time" she messes up and sings too slow. yes on the chorus for both songs they have a track for the background vocals, but the lead vocals are all live. yah they have lip synced plenty of times, but they sing live sometimes too. this is live vocals to a backing track.
Anyone else notice that they left that certain part of the stage open in the beginning as if Left Eye was there performing with them?? I think they did that as like a remembrance.
the tlc song that lil john is singing is so good. but i was shocked they were on this just coz they arnt really relevant to music nowadays but they were killing it back in the day
@sharabadtodibone sing without left eye what you mean, hows that wrong when beyonce sung without her own band mates also, she even diss them so what are u getting at? i don't think its wrong they cannot bring her back nothing like that. so why they cant do any solos?
@BloodMoonInMyWake Honestly.. i expected them to play her part, they wasnt singing live anyways. No one else should sing her part. But however they just skipped lisa's part.
@BloodMoonInMyWake Uhh to make it look like they are out there singing live? For example, britney spears. She doesn't sing live, but she comes out with a microphone!! They are lip syncing! Why cut out lisa's part in the first place? You can clearly tell that the songs are from the cd. It is not live coming from their own mouths! Enough said.
I am disappointed that they are lip syncing but its ok coz i love them so much i cant hate them for that. Its so sad to not see lisa up there with them but i was so happy to see them come out and perform. Its good to see them sticking to their roots.
i hate it so much when people talk about t-boz weight like are you kidding me she had brain surgery and lost her hearing, speech and her ability to do basic dance moves and she has sickle cell shes up there killing it. Also i don't get it if you claim you know they are lip syncing why did you watch this video.. that's just stupid go talk about somebody else but NEVER talk about TLC.
@BubbaCoop Well, they aren't auditioning. TLC has already had MASSIVE success. I can name atleast 5 artists off the top of my head who have lip-synced on Idol. Just enjoy the performance! =)
There are countless artists who lip synch, even the most talented ones. TLC have sang live many times in their career, so this shouldn't be a big deal. As long as there are stage performances, lip synching is going to exist. #FACT
@RyanCooleyFanx Ok, that would have been fine if they actually put some effort into showing them some. Maybe it would have impressed a few people instead of making us wonder why they bothered.
@erinhannah24 you are probably too young for tlc....typical...I am 16 and I HAVE heard of TLC because I grew up listening to them! The song waterfalls came out the year I was born and no scrubs came out when I was 5, and I have a good memory of them...there was originally 3 girls in TLC but the "L" Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes passed away in 2002 in a car accident in honduras...their Last Album 3D came out in 2002...about 5 months after Lisa passed. The older generation know more about them since 92.
Used to love LOVE them! But they aint TLC anymore. And how are they TLC if they cant even play Lisa's vocals? And they performed two songs, how is that a medley?
I love these girls so much,no matter how much time passed i'm still their fan and supporter,TLC is 4eva
I would love to see where TLC would be right now if Left Eye was still with us,you girls are forever perfect
I haven't watched American Idol in a loooong time. But I only watched it to see my favorite girl group, TLC, perform! They did great too! RIP Left Eye I miss you and Happy Birthday!! :)
I love them so much! Hopefully some new music or at least a tour. TLC is forever!!
i love tlc!!! omg.. it bring back the old times.. they are very good artist!!!!
just love em...their style, dance moves everything. cant knok TLC at all. best girl group.
TLC Is the Best and Will forever be!! RIP LEFT EYE
I practically cried when this happened. These ladies defined my preteen years.
love it love it love it...awesome performance i want them back 2 accion
TLC!!!! They still got it in them:)) LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
@igl223 I seriously CRIED when they came on. Not because I was sad, but I was just so extremely surprised, the tears started flowing from no where.

Yes, it's always sad not seeing Left-Eye but I'm gonna first in line to buy their new album this summer. Lets them know you support them and GOOD music.

I love my TLC! :) I love to see them!! :) TLC Forever baby!
Ahh i almost started cryinnnng! I just came back from watching when they performed waterfalls back in 1994 ;')
rip left eye miss you. TLC IS THE BEST
Loved it and I can truly day that I'm not suprised that they still got it because they are legends and the best group ever and I know that if lisa was still her that she would be doing the damn thing to. And for who all doesn't know lefteye's birthday is in 2 days may 27
YES YES YES LOVE TLC!!!! TLC 4EVER
Tlc look amazing onstage
they look wonderful to be 40 n 41 tlc 4 eva............ rip lefteye we miss u
That beginning rocked!
TLC BABY LOVE THEM
I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and gone
Leaving a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
And like His promise is true
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
To bring my life to a new
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
T-Boz looked AMAZING and Chili did not even age a day! It is great to see them together again, Left Eye is sorely missed! :(
They really got me hyped w/Lil Jon doin "Come Get Some" intro...they need to come back with a new album w/special guests!!!! I really miss seeing them on stage!
quem é o cara que começa cantando?? MUITO BOM
@calvinLEFTEYEboy Yes you are correct. Tionne is finally returning to music. Both her and Rozanada are signed to Interscope Records, however Tionne is the one doing the music, while Rozanda is assisting with the writing and all. Its gald the two can remain friends and work together.

But a quick vid or couple of still shots up on the vid boards would have been a nice touch and in keeping with their other post-Left Eye performances. Either way, it was great to see them again!
the ending part where they were singing and clapping their hands reminds me of the '08 BET Awards :')
TOO SHORT!!!! I WANT MORE!!!!!!
Sooooo SAD! RIP Left Eye! Such an amazing song, but nothing without Left Eye.
@slappersplatter Short notice? How do you know? Also, if they agreed to perform i expect them to show their A game like they always have.
Okay when i first saw this i was XCITED b'cause it was TLC, Lil jon hyped the crowd as usual and T-boz and Chilli did their THANG...TLC IN DA HOUSE!!!
I actually cried when I realized that lefteye is gone. this makes me and the other fans love TLC more
They are def singing live. The reason some people can't tell is because they use backing tracks as well, which will of course be perfect. Just plug in some earphones. You can tell it the most with T-Boz's breathing as she sings. Also, ask yourself why they keep adjusting their mikes.
But even if they weren't, which they are, it wouldn't matter. TLC is bomb!!
@ragethesystem91 Ofcourse they've sang live before.
Search:
TLC Unpretty live 1999 -- completely live
TLC-Baby Baby Baby(Live Apollo Theatre 1992) -- completely live
"Creep" and "Red Light Special" @ SNL was live. These are just a few off the top of my head. Also ALL of their performances from their debut album are live.

FANMAIL! Best Album I ever bought.

LOOK AT MY GIRLS....THEY STILL GOT IT IN EM...TLC 4EVER...MUCH

I'm 14 and I love TLC but this was too short but did great seeing makes want them to preform more carry on the legacy bit this made me miss left eye

TLC BABY!!
@KLIFF55 thats not true because while they were on tour the still played it
Left Eye was an amazing member of TLC. She could sing AND rap really well. If she was still alive I bet that she would've had a successful solo career like Nicki Minaj by now. The other 2 members would've had their own solo projects too like the Destiny's Child members.
@NovEmbeRcASpeR Yes, I saw it. T-Boz looks AMAZING!
T-BOZ IS SIGNED WITH CASH MONEY RECORDS FOR A DEBUT SOLO ALBUM CALLED STILL COOL I DID NOT KNOW THAT!!!
it stopped where ryan said nice abs! i luv that part
them dayz......... hehe. good old dayz.
i got so emotional when seeing this performance, was I the only one???
its sad seeing only two of them up there R.I.P left eye
TLC was as real as it gets. It is a shame there aren't any girl bands out there who have fun songs but also incorporate powerful messages. Damn do I miss the 90's

Love how they perform but i wish they played lisa part.
But this love them! R.I.P Lisa "left eye" Lopes love you!
@Credfla Left eye or t-boz vocals are not on no scrubs and the only vocal of left eyes on waterfalls is frm her rap
Fly Guy B all of TLC sung on waterfalls tracks as well that’s why the song was more special to them
R. I. P Left Eye, Miss you!
Anyone else notice that they left that certain part of the stage open in the beginning as if Left Eye was there performing with them?? I think they did that as like a remembrance.
90's music still ze best.. the only music that i jam this days is haley reinhart
FANTASTIC!!! MY GURL T-BOZ!!! ;)
the tlc song that lil john is singing is so good. but i was shocked they were on this just coz they arnt really relevant to music nowadays but they were killing it back in the day
@sharabadtodibone sing without left eye what you mean, hows that wrong when beyonce sung without her own band mates also, she even diss them so what are u getting at? i don't think its wrong they cannot bring her back nothing like that. so why they cant do any solos?
ahhh tlc!
@BloodMoonInMyWake Honestly.. i expected them to play her part, they wasnt singing live anyways. No one else should sing her part. But however they just skipped lisa's part.

Today is Left Eye 40th birthday so let's make today all about her and let's get her to be a trending topic on Twitter! : ) We miss you Lisa
tboz and chilli lookin oh so good
There EPIC Costume is still the best. And my heart breaks when they perform without Left Eye. :(((((((((
0:00 - 0:21
Epic Intro.
ugh i missed it :(
My goodness where is the age? TBoz voiced hasn't changed. =)
I'm really upset that there wasn't a left eye clip.... T_T
it`s like the TLC girl and her grandma :))
i hate it so much when people talk about t-boz weight like are you kidding me she had brain surgery and lost her hearing, speech and her ability to do basic dance moves and she has sickle cell shes up there killing it. Also i don't get it if you claim you know they are lip syncing why did you watch this video.. that's just stupid go talk about somebody else but NEVER talk about TLC.
How would u know if they were lip singing plus there's two no scrubs songs one with Lisa and the other without her
its not the samewithout lisa but they are still really good
Where is the L in in TLC?
@BubbaCoop Well, they aren't auditioning. TLC has already had MASSIVE success. I can name atleast 5 artists off the top of my head who have lip-synced on Idol. Just enjoy the performance! =)
aw you can hear lisa say ah come on in the back round.
LIL JOHN, WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?
@bronxbrutha considering they lip synced the song, you could just listen to thier greatest hits album
That waterfall's song is so sad.. Lol...God bless them all, Tboz gained weight! But chilly looks amazing!!
There are countless artists who lip synch, even the most talented ones. TLC have sang live many times in their career, so this shouldn't be a big deal. As long as there are stage performances, lip synching is going to exist. #FACT
Chilli"s abs is my mentor ^^
it's hard to watch this performance without Left Eye in it ):
@RyanCooleyFanx Ok, that would have been fine if they actually put some effort into showing them some. Maybe it would have impressed a few people instead of making us wonder why they bothered.
@Reg1914 It's the steroids in her sickle cell anemia treatment.
@erinhannah24 you are probably too young for tlc....typical...I am 16 and I HAVE heard of TLC because I grew up listening to them!

@mkl20123 she was performin next
I miss Left Eye.
Used to love LOVE them! But they aint TLC anymore. And how are they TLC if they cant even play Lisa's vocals? And they performed two songs, how is that a medley?
@BubbaCoop That's what they make remotes for sweetie, change the channel. Life is too short to be sweating the small things. =)
T-Boz was gettin down in the beginning of no acrubs
