    TLC did not replace Left-Eye in no way, shape, or form. the purpose of that show 'R U The Girl?' was to have someone experience what it was like to perform with TLC, and have a song with them on their Greatest Hits Album. O’so Krispie was never brought in to replace Lisa, or become a member in TLC. neither was she a “temporary standing member.” you should’ve used the original member Crystal as an example since she was replaced by Chilli before TLC even came out.
    T-Boz and Chilli ALWAYS made it clear since the death of Left-Eye that she will never be replaced, and they stuck by that to this day. they had girls perform with them over the years like, Lil’ Mama, Latto and O’so Krispie, but it was never to replace Left-Eye at all.

    Another notable group to have a personnel change is The Supremes, It's so famous, in fact, it inspired a musical. You may have heard of it. It's called "Dreamgirls."
    It's also quite interesting that their story is parallel to Destiny's Child. The Supremes started out as the Primettes, the sister group to the Primes whose members would go on to create The Temptations. They had four members - co-founders Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson, Diane (her birth name) Ross, and Betty McGlown. Betty McGlown left the group to get married and Barbara Martin replaced her. After initial rejection due to being too young in 1959, Berry Gordy signed them to his fledging label Tamla Records which later became known as Motown Records, in 1961. By that year, they were either in their last year of high school or already graduated. He also demanded a name change. Ballard chose "The Supremes" after not liking the names Gordy provided. Their early years saw minimal commercial success, and Martin left the group to start a family. The group would remain a trio until the group's official disbandment.
    Until 1964, Ballard, Ross, and Wells all shared lead vocals. Gordy changed that and made Diane - who began going by Diana by 1965 - the primary singer. He felt her light timber had more crossover appeal. Ballard, considered to have the strongest voice of the group members, did not appreciate this. Wells and Ballard still performed leads on album tracks and Ballard performed her signature song "People" from the musical Funny Girl live. However, Gordy's favoritism of Ross led to growing resentment not only within The Supremes but also among other Motown acts.
    Things started to go sour in 1967. Gordy officially changed the group's name to Diana Ross and The Supremes. This would spark rumors of Diana being groomed for a solo career. Gordy brought in Barbara Randolph as a prospective new lead singer. She eventually acted as Florence Ballard's first replacement when Ballard's personal problems impacted her appearances at live performances. Ross was not a fan of Randolph and that led to Gordy signing Cindy Birdsong as Ballard's official replacement that same year. At the time, Birdsong was still in contract with Patti LaBelle and the Blue Belles, so she was technically on a probationary period until Gordy could buy out her contract. Florence had not been officially fired; Gordy encouraged her to quit. However, after an embarrassing showing at the Flaming Hotel, Gordy fired Ballard and officially replaced her with Birdsong (who he had been secretly bringing to gigs unbeknownst to Ballard). On a side note, the Flamingo Hotel fallout is dramatized in Dreamgirls at the end of Act I, the musical's most famous number: "It's All Over/And I Am Telling You." Florence Ballard sadly passed away in 1976 from a heart attack and in financial ruin amid a comeback. Before her passing, she reconciled with Ross and Wilson. Effie White, loosely based on Ballard, was intended to meet the same fate as her real-life inspiration. Jennifer Holiday, the originator of the role on Broadway, successfully fought to change this ending.
    Motown announced in 1969 that Diane would go solo by the end of the year. By this time, the group's success had declined due to changing musical tastes, their primary songwriters Holland-Dozier-Holland leaving Motown acrimoniously., and in-group tension. Her final single with the Supremes, "Someday We'll Be Together" was released that year becoming the group's 12th and final #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 and the last #1 single of the 1960s. Funnily enough, this single was intended to be Ross' first solo single as Birdsong and Wilson did not appear on the track (instead, Ross' first solo single would be "Reach Out and Touch Somebody's Hand" which would go on to be a top 40 hit on the Hot 100). Their lack of appearance on several Supremes singles was common at the time given the tension at the time. Syreeta Wright, label mate Stevie Wonder's wife (at the time) and songwriting partner, was the first considered replacement for Ross. When that didn't work, Jeanne Terrell was brought in. Gordy, according to Mary Wilson, also officially washed his hands of the group and focused on Ross' career (with whom he was having an affair, and that affair led to the birth of a child in 1971). The change in personnel led to the group reverting back to its old name The Supremes. Their first single post-Ross, "Up The Ladder To The Roof", was a top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100. They would release lukewarm singles throughout the 1970s - "Stone Cold Love" being their last R&B #1 hit and top 10 Hot 100 hit - and experience more member changes. Birdsong left the group in 1972 and Lynda Laurence, Stevie Wonder's background vocalist, replaced her. Jeanne Terrell left due to being fed up with low success and lack of promotion and Scherrie Payne replaced her in 1973. Laurence would also leave that same year and Birdsong would return. in 1967, Birdsong left for the final time and Susaye Greene replaced her. By 1977, Mary Wilson,, the longest-tenured member and last remaining original member, had had enough and left the group. Seeing as there were no original members, Motown officially disbanded the group that same year.
    Today Diana Ross, Susaye Greene, Cindy Birdsong, Scherrie Payne, and Jeanne Terrell are the last surviving members of The Supremes, with Ross being the sole original member left.

    T-Boz & Chilli always made sure to never replace Left Eye & they stuck to their word on that. The show R U the Girl was them doing a competition to find a girl that can rap, sing & dance & the winner would do a song with them on the finale & receive a recording contract & that was it. So that song they did w/ O So Krispie was nothing more than a feature if anything, because we didn’t see her anymore after that. And the whole R U the Girl show was their managers idea & they wasn’t for the idea of replacing Left Eye or giving the public the idea that they were, that is why they changed the format to the winner just doing one song & getting a recording contract. T-Boz & Chilli discussed this so many times. So them having a “fill in” is a reach.

Then I felt so bad for them b/c they didn’t even know they were fired. It took a big toll on their lives as well. Latavia spoke about forming addiction from depression they were so young I know it hurt them badly. Then Farrah came and then she left also.

    Actually 3LW first performance with Jessica Benson was on an episode of Soul Train that aired in March of 2003. That was the last time I ever saw them perform with her on national television and didn't know they were still active after 2003. That's how bad their popularity went down. Jessica unfortunately didn't benefit much from her time with 3LW. Kiely is the common denominator behind 3LW/Cheetah Girls break up. The problem with her is she feels like she's the Beyonce of 3LW/Cheetah Girls. She threw chicken in Naturi face, acted jealous of Raven, she leaked naked photos of Adrienne on the Internet and there were rumors she allegedly started some drama with Jessica Benson behind the scenes. I believe it because that explains why Jessica blocks people on Instagram if they bring up 3LW. Jessica and Naturi are two dark skin women that got screwed in 3LW
