I’m sure she felt extremely slighted for a long time after this incident but I’m glad to see she has accepted her journey and moved past this.
They seem to be missing the point that as much as they wanted to include as many people involved in their journey as possible, they COULDN'T. They wanted to do a mini series like the Jacksons, but they couldn't get the clearance from VH1. The biopic is about the story of T-boz, Left-Eye, and Chilli and their lives while in TLC. The only people who can tell that story are the surviving members. Left-Eyes last documentary confirms everything that was portrayed about her. Only T-boz and Chilli can tell us how each of the girls felt during their struggles and success as TLC. Not Left-Eyes family, not Pebbles, not Crystal or her manager, not anyone else.
Your point exactly, well said!
Agree.
Exactly!
Agreed...2hrs 3 women and 10 years of course everything was not going to make it. But they are supposedly coming out with another movie in 2021 and I can’t wait
@@jamesde74hmmmmm
Good thing crystal didn't sing in that radio show. She must not try to prove to people. Plus it's been years seen the 1990s voices change over time . She looks healthy and in good shape, God protected her from joining that industry. Look what happend to other artist in the industry the got messed up.
I’m proud of Crystal for not signing that contract without another set of eyes.. It’s was God’s blessing not to be SCREWED OVER by Pebbles😂😂😂.. yall don’t get it! Pebbles manipulated those girls.. period. Crystal wasn’t going for it! I know she was relieved when she didn’t get played like the other girls did. If they would have kept her and moved in to another company, they would have caught Gods blessing. But they saw that money and ran with it😂
And look what happen Bankruptcy😂
TLC said in an interview on 105.1 that it wasn't that she couldn't sing, but that she wouldn't perform and was mumbling and kinda shy. That's what I got from the movie. And seeing as how she wouldn't sing for them here, it says to me that that's a little true.
Exactly...
I guess you missed the part about the contract.
@@cfoster6804 Ok the contract ish as an excuse lol the bih can't sing and that's why she didn't sing on the radio. If I could sing I would have shown that as well as talked about the contract situation. She just trynna be a part of something she wasn't included in. She need ta stay her no vocals having a at home u feel me?
I think it was both.I believe though that the contracting played the major part, but Also is something about her not wanting to sing at all
Sounds to me like they let Crystal go because someone thought she would cause some trouble because she was already asking questions from the start and wanted to have the contract checked before signing it. Whether Chilli, Left Eye, or T-Boz were aware of that, we don't know. Maybe they did think she was let go just because Pebbles didn't want her. ???? Anyway, she probably can't sing as good now, so it doesn't even matter that she sings or not now. I would like to hear how she sounded twenty years ago.
If it's not taken care of, it could very well diminish in one's 40's. Whitney Houston is a good example.
Whitney Houston was sick, big difference
What was her sickness?
anitabreakone whitney Houston smoked cigarettes and was on drugs and that was what ruined her voice...
Who knows maybe this girl did the same.
i see people dont listen, they just pick sides and make comments without actually analyzing what was said. This lady has not said anything to deserve negative comments
Lol Crystal became disqualified when she said 3LW honey what era are you talking about lol
LOL. Be nice. But LOL.
what is 3LW
Ikr lol
@@vice2versa a singing group
Crystal should have proved her point by singing. Since she did not, people are going to believe she really can not sing. And how are you hurt when you were the one that said no and not sign the contract?
Nicole I so agree with you, I feel like it maybe true, that she wasn't a good singer.
Agreed!
She would of been fucked over if she signed that contract
She wasn't there to sing, she was there to be interviewed 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
She did refuse to sign the contract. She wanted her mother to look at it. The other members should have supported her. Turnsnout Crystal was right about the contract.
Did Anyone side eye when Crystal said 3LW???? Smh...
Why didn't Crystal make an album with all her talent?
Because she doesn't have any
Angela Love cold! lol have you heard her sing? it’s possible she does. not all talent makes it! she tried to continue with pursuing her music career and did not succeed.
Mia Wyatt well if she could sing she should have proved the people wrong, that’s like being accused of being illiterate and having a chance to prove people wrong and saying no I don’t feel like it come on now people love to bring “RECEIPTS” until the receipts go against their narrative
Sometime records labels cant always guarantee to get you a record label!
@@angelalove_ Nor do you. 😊
Did Crystal really just say 3LW?? SMH I'm done
GantzIsSloppy 😂😂😂 her credibility is shot.
Crystal could have easily showed us that they "lied" about why she was dismissed from the group by SINGING. like, why is she even there?
If you guys remember in "Behind the music" on TLC, L.A. Reid said that t-boz and lisa did their thing but when crystal sang it sounded like a talent show and I believe him. That's when Left-eye broke it down about their financial situation.
Chili didn't have no talent. They said she could dance but I'm sure they could have found more. So that's why I DO believe she slept with LA Reid. Crystal didn't because he badmouth her with no reason and maybe Tboz. Left eye I don't know about.
Ruby C
Are you kidding? Chilli has very nice voice. She really CAN sing...She was responsible for the hot hooks. Sad people just hate on somebody because they are nice looking.
T -boz does a better job. Besides she only has great hair because her dad is native american
@@RubygemVIyou are a hater. Chilli can sing and dance and lefteye could rap and dance. Foh!!!
@@RubygemVII am sure you have no talent trying to diminish that lady's talent and her accomplishments speak for themselves. Chilli can sing, I wonder if you are good at using your mouthpiece!!!
I had a meeting with I an Burke and he seems to be a very real person. He said crystal didn't sing that bad, which means she can't really sing that good either.
people are mean. they said they werent just a singing group...she would have been a background singer. she is classy and humble about it. she says it was not meant to be. i would have felt a type of way being kicked out of a group i started, but she moved on....good for her
She said 3LW 🤦🏾♀️
Haha! This guy is hilarious: "Uh.. well.. me being in the movie should have been an integral plot point because two of the girls who would end up in TLC were almost part of a group that I almost created. Did I name them TLC? No did I fuck.. but anyway, the other guy who is important is the guy who told one of the girls to sing down instead of up. Like.. it's historically important, fool!"
It wasn't this guy, or this Crystal woman's story- no matter how much they think it should be. Things had to get moving along, dog. I'm sure Chilli's 5th grade music teacher and the kid who punched Left Eye in her right eye in the sandbox when she was 4 think that they contributed significantly too, alas, they didn't make the 'information we need to know' cut either. Suck it up.
Now Crystal Jones was done dirty. Tionne & Lisa candidly admitted this in interviews. They never discredited her earlier input. Yet they kept it 100 & said she did not fit in once they GOT to Pebbles. I've seen 2nd Nature photos, they look awkward, like teenage friends taking Glamour Shots. Damn the talent. 85% of the business is optics and if I feel this way IMAGINE how Queen of Priss felt. So no I don't believe her contract story.
It just seems like everyone wants some shine from this story. TLC told what they went through durning this time.
Lmao @ 0:01. "I love it..."
I can't, I can't, I CAN'T!
I believe Crystal
The crazy thing about this is, these people are upset because they're lives of what they did isn't in the movie but the TLC story isn't about them. Its not call the Jermine Dupree story or the Crystal story. Some people are just bugged for no reason. Crystals made because she said they made it seem like she couldn't sing but comes to the interview and not want to sing... really? Let the biopic have someone like Lil Mo or k.Michelle and they say they couldn't have sung. Lil mo would have sung
1.) If she couldn't sing, why were she offer a contract if she couldn't sing? 2.) The real reason she was booted out was she didn't rush in to sign the contract. In another interview she said she didn't fully understand the contract so she wanted to take it home and show her mom it. (madamenoire.com/315232/crystal-jones-says-tlc-movie-inaccurate-kicked-wouldnt-sign-pebbles-shady-contract/) 3.) She made a smart move refusing not to prove to anybody she could still sing now cause it has been decades since she had proven to people she can sing and was offered a contract back then. Now people want to hear her prove if she could sing but the problem is that she haven't sing since then and people expect to hear someone who haven't sing since their last rehearsal decades ago or at least never had the opportunity in singing in stardom to sing good, really! (In other words, if you have put your skills aside (or on the sideline, lol) for decades, then later someone ask you to use your skills now and you are older & haven't use your skills for a very long time, what would you think that person skills or performance would turn out to be? LOL)
Crystal is matured she must not try to prove to people that she can sing. It's been years so voices change over the years. She has a right to come out if she thinks they didn't portray her well
A little shady for the female co-host to ask her to sing on the spot or point out that she was not going to sing on air. I'm sure that was not intentional but comes off that way.
SSSShid i would sang and crushed that rumor
Glamour Shots LOL! You so funny.
If I was the surviving members of TLC, I wouldn't even condone this. I would of just let the memory die with Left Eye. There should not be a need to feel like you need to get your story out. T-Boz and Chili can only speak for themselves and NO ONE else. If Perri "pebbles" and Crystal want to tell there side they should feel beyond welcome to do so w/o shade from nobody. BTW the way left eye tells how to committed arson they did not do her justice in that movie.
She can't sing. I believe Chilli and T boz and I'm pretty sure if Left Eye was alive non of them would be talking cause Left Eye didn't give a shit.
✋He was gonna say bye to Lisa because of how she dressed!!! Really he didn't even want to go off of talent!!!
Right
You'd be surprised lol I remember not getting 2 roles in two very known movies because of my height
I really enjoyed this interview. I could clearly see everyone, and I thoroughly understand their position. But this story was about the journey of three girls told by two from their perspective, and you're not going to please everybody. The people who felt excluded, has to find a avenue to express their part of the story. Be willing to wish everyone well and do their own thing. Weather in a song, book, or a play,If that happens with the right intentions, the world will possibly get to the truth and come to know the whole story. I pray for them, that they'll find their own path to the greatness meant for them all. To the unsung professionals, this was possibly a hurtful missed opportunity for them. But because of the skill set they possess I'm certain that greater chances will come their way, because that's show business.
Taj, Le-Le, Co-Co / TLC wow!
I always thought that
if I'm not mistaking JD was dancing in the what about your friends video and as far as singing goes tlc wasn't the greatest singers they had good songs but singing wise they couldn't compete with en vouge or even swv
Now this is true. They definitely weren't Envogue or SWV level!
Dang1 now I wanna know more about your story. What group were you in?
Crystal should be thankful and blessed she didn’t become part of that group. Even though TLC were a huge success, they led a hard life. Crystal appears to be healthy and alive, compared to other members of the group 😉
Exactly! And still has her soul might I add
Your shade about Lisa is vile and disgusting. It's never that deep to mock someone's death.
@@marissar.359Agreed!! What a gross comment.. smh
Are u ok? U actually sound uneducated u know nothing
what a sick thing to say
She probably doesn't want to sing because most likely...she CAN'T. She's just salty because she missed out but she should consider it a blessing because those ladies really had a rough ride in the music industry. She should have moved well past all this by now.
How would you know, you met her before?
Thanks Ian! You so right!
Great interview ^5
this girl is not a former member she was never signed and has nothin to do with the success. and i thank you
where yo records at...... why you ain't got no records
thaz true
Kiyta Thax yep
Umm maybe she wasnt really hit there trying to get gigs dumbass!
lmaoooooo he said crystal is not as bad as they portrayed. bro need to go to media training 😂😂😂😂
OutOfTheseAshes I knew who she was and I always wondered what happened to her
When you enter into the mainstream they give you a story to tell...you stick with it...lots of folks that had your back along the way get left out of that story...trust I know
Yo your comment is hilarious!!! You got me weak! LMBO
y does this have so many dislikes
i don't blame her for not singing. what difference does it make now? besides she doesn't really have to prove anything to anybody. but ian said she didn't "sound as bad as they portrayed" but she did sound bad tho, right? just asking. also she should be glad she didn't sign cuz those girls got stuck for millions. rip left eye.
I was just sitting here thinking the same thing. Pebble's story was totally different. Someone is definitely not telling the truth.
They both bitter... he's basically mad because he wasn't in the movie at all...I personally don't think Crystal ever was offered a contract... Crystal can not sing, every interview somebody asks her to sing its some excuse or she don't feel like singing. Anybody that has proof they can sing when somebody puts them on tv as someone who can't sing would have sing for the GODS with NOOOOO PROBLEM AT ALL ! but its always some excuse with her can I say suspect or nah. Her book going flop too. TLC couldn't been that much of your life when you was barely in the group. I'm sure she tight she ain't sign that contract (that was so called offered).
I can see them handing her a contract, just because they wanted to be famous and pebbles wasn't expecting tlc to succeed, so she wouldn't care if Crystal could sing or not, you know.
I doubt Pebbles would hand just anybody a contract. But we have difference of opinions so yea.
TLC did say and has always said that pebbles didn't think they were going to succeed, but it didn't make since for her to give them a contract if she didn't agree with them as a group. So she must have thought they had a little talent.
First of all, how would you know? You were there. And like she said "if I couldn't sing, why would you offer me a contract deal?, use your common sense man. She was offered a contract because when she said Pebbles can I have my mom look at it and she said "no absolutely not", because they are going to sign that devil contract!
lmao .. he tried my boo August at the beginning
Note," Krystal does not sound as bad as that portray on the show last night." As bad? So, she doesn't sound that good.
This is why you Don't trust them new Ninjas over there. Case closed
My thing with Crystal, is that she is suing!! WHY?!?!
Cause she a nobody and wants some money..this is her 15 mins
She didn't sing because she can't. You needed to show us what you are workin' with! Talk is cheap! The contract story is most likely true but humming a few bars would have set the record straight!
If I was Crystal shoes I would had been happy not to be part of the group because those girls went through hell with getting fuck over by Pebbles and the record company. How would you feel if you sold millions & millions of records but have nothing to show for it? That's not a good feeling at all. So Crystal at the end of the day, you're very lucky you didn't go through the bullshit of the music business.
Peebles bought the contract form IAN and Jermain Dupree. Guess who they then found to replace them...Xscape!
I'm sorry but I can't help but laugh at Crystal getting put out of her own group!!...I mean how bad is that!
Like girl!! Go to work!!!
Yeah ,... today this chick is like the Greenhouse effect
LA said she could sing but not at a professional level. I saw the words come directly out of his mouth.
nelliebpink13: i feel bad for her! (That had to suck getting put out your own group). I feel now growing in life that she did the right thing by not signing a contract that she wasn't comfortable with (better to die on your feet than standing on your knees)
Based off the first part of the interview it seems as though Pebbles didn’t like the fact that Crystal wasn’t signing the contract without another pair of eyes, so she kicked her out. It was a blessing because we see how Pebbles did TLC in the end.
I'm on my daughter page, however if they wanted they say so in the movie why didn't they make the darn movie themselves. The movie is from their perspective on what they saw and lived the life. Not what others thought. They did not want to talk about all that. Leave it alone they spent their time and money on it,if the haters didn't like it then you spend your money on a new movie and put it out there the way you want it to be seen. Hush now and be quiet. Good Job to Chili & T-Boz!
they made her look bad in the movie dipshit. why wouldn't she come out to say something about it.
The manager filled in some blanks sort of but Crystal didn't even say anything. She didn't even sing.
🥷 said she sing in the book.. 🎶 🎤 😂😂😂😂
I was embarrassed for the tamale host started to name 3LW, SWV, etc. like.... wtf. You don’t know who came first
Yo who is the lady asking the question at 4:20?
Isn't that Kendra G.
Y’all go easy on Crystal! She probably feels sad, rejected and abandoned!
Hmmm my two cents is this. I believe they may have taken dramatic license in the film and Crystal did possess some talent. But at the end of the day I think it boiled down to the fact that Crystal did not have the x-factor. All because you can sing doesn't necessarily mean you'll make it as an artist. Chilli had what they were looking for. She was prettier, most likely had a better voice, blended better with T-Boz and Lisa and most importantly she had the x-factor Crystal did not. That's the business and the music business is the shadiest business of them all.
I just listened to a song Crystal did with her nephews and when i tell you she doesn't sound like she fit with TLC, not saying she doesn't sound good but she doesn't to me blend with the TLC sound, so that there says it all for me!
That's what I tried to explain in my video though... something is way, and I do mean WAY off in this equation.
Why does anybody care about what Crystal has to say? OK she was a member of the group before we laid eyes on them but we never knew about her the fans don't care about Crystal. If Crystal is all that she have gotten a deal for herself.
Why are you listening to the video with her name in the title if you do not care? Silly.
mspinkytee Well actually after I saw the movie I was interested in what the other parties had to say about how things were portrayed in the film but she seemed to be trying to make it seem like she is relevant and she is Not , and FYI I didn't make it through the first 4 minutes before I thought SHUT UP, and turned it off. My question to you is why does anybody view things that they know they probably are gonna disagree with? Curiosity it goes along with being human. Good day to you!
Teressa Brown-Walston If she helped bring the group together then that part of the story is relevant and they have a right to discuss their side of the story and what things they felt were wrong about the portrayal. This interview is for their side of the story to be brought out. What the hell is wrong with that? You weren't even there so you don't even deserve any say on the matter.
***** well first of all this was nov so this subject should have died long ago. (I mean really there is someone still talking about Crystal Who?) , but since you mentioned my name I feel obligated to comment. Everything and that is without exception that is posted on any social media site is subject to public opinion or scrunity. That being said I stated my opinion. If you don't agree it, well it really doesn''t matter to me cause again it is my opinion. If anyone doesn't want the public to comment they shouldn't post., and in case you didn't know that is the reason to post thing on you tube so people talk about you and make the irrelevant relevant. ( Good Job Crystal ! ) . And good day to you.
***** and before you get all in a tizzy about me saying Crystal was irrelevant. That was actually rude of me I meant to say to TLC fans she is irrelevant . I am sure she is very relevant to her friends and family.
I didn't take it as she couldn't sing because why would they have her in the group. I thought she just got nervous and performed badly.
Watching the. A&E documentary with TLC and they said Crystal didn't have the same work ethic. That is why they had to kick her out her own group
Crystal better be glad she didn't sign that contract. She'd be just as broke!
they been got money after that
like they were broke but they got new management
@@cynthiamacklin2607are you TLC's accountant?
I know Pebbles said in an interview that she was at her hair salon getting her hair done and her hair stylist had a shampoo girl who could sing or whatever... and now this man says something completely different... Hmmm, now I'm confused (even more)...
If Crystal can sing then why in the world does she not sing a lil something on mic? I mean come on!!!!!! The girl cant sing and could never sing. lol
Also what gets me is in the movie they show that the girls were confused and concerned and looked into their contracts, so if that was the real reason Crystal was booted from the group why wouldnt they just put that into the movie? If it was this big hush hush thing then they would have not shown the girls questioning their contracts either. See what I am saying. I think what happened is Crystal got mad that they showed in the movie she couldnt sing, but in all honesty Crystal may have been the 3rd girl of TLC to try out for Pebbles but when it comes to the actual group and what matters Crystal has never been apart of the true equation. So there is NO reason for her to get so bent over it. Esp. if she is saying the real reason is because she questioned the contract and decided not to sign. At the end of the day Crystal is just another person who feels entitled because she pissed a tiny bit/left her teeny mark on something that turned out to be the biggest girl group of all time. So now she feels she deserves a piece of the pie. Ummm NO!
can i get a amen?! A M E N! ! ! !
wow did yall catch ian say "crystal doesn't SOUND AS BAD as they made her out to be in the movie" well if she is a good singer why would he say that? Simply Pebbles didn't think she fit the group, I don't think they would have been as big as they were with Crystal IMO
Wasn't the group names 2nd Nature that Crystal founded? Also, LA and Pebbles both stated that she was not offered a contract because she didn't fit the look or the sound of the group. Interesting listening to all sides...the only people who have had the same story for the last 20 years have been TLC...but I'm sleep tho...
The thing is.. TBOZ and left eye been telling the same story since they came out in 92 about how she was put out the group
How in the hell wearing baggy clothes is a movement ?
Was saying the same exact thing...rofl
Because NO GIRLS were dressing like that back then, or at least no girl group.
Did you even try to pay attention to the interview? For real tho?
RikkiDalm Bitch did you even read my comment ? for real though ?
Miss Jaye Last Yea I read it and my conclusion is that you're f'ing stupid.
Crystal should have sang on this show if they portrayed her incorrectly.
i wanna hear her sing
notice she said she got over all the hurt and pain. now if her version of what happened is true and she herself turned down the position by not signing a contract the other girls signed then why would she be hurt???.
Oops
The interview is about Crystal but the two guyz hog the mic
I wonner hear her speak
Journalists are doing this every where
I have a lot to say! Here goes... Ian "I sold this group to Pebbles, collected a check and bounced" Burke needs to pump his brakes. 1 He found 2nd Nature, NOT TLC--that's Pebbles. 2 You feel its should have been a mini-series, so did the actual two remaining members of TLC. Mini-series like J5 and the Temptations cost money. Were YOU going to front the MONEY to produce a two part/three part 2hr mini-series? Didn't think so. TLC and VH1 had to keep economical.
Let me clear this up this was not a singing group, she does not sound as bad as they portrayed her? WTF Its like they are amitting she couldn't sing. WTF?
Crystal does not sound as bad as they made her sound lastnight 🤨 so it’s a little bad not that bad Ian 😂
Her vocal cords out to prove it was false. Ms Crystals, its over and done. God bless you and your team for bringing us our girls who we wouldn't trade for the world and maybe if you was in it they may wouldn't have last. Compared to them you seem dull.
How could SWV have been called TLC when Pebbles claim she named TLC based on the first letters of their names. Hmm....someone's lying.
Well that is a common made up name!
Taj Lelee Coko
@@goat5018 OMG ! I feel mad slow. I totally forgot those were the initials in the group SWV's first names. Duh ... Thank you light skin.
He's pointing out things that would've been cool to see in the movie BUT it was a tv movie clearly no big budget. That movie would've been as long as The Jackson 5 American Dream movie if they told everything
Hmmmm.....why was she (Crystal) "hurt", maybe by TLC or Peebles, if she didn't sign the contract based on her own intention not to do so? Was she mad at herself for not signing the contract? Makes you wonder. Seems as if she's beating around the bush with those answers.
It's funny how everybody got a story after the movie and trying to make it all negative. The same thing people did when Whitney Houston passed. If you're so hurt and blah blah blah.. Ya ass should've said what you had to say back then. It's a side to every story.. I'm just annoyed with all the negative feed back all of a sudden. But it's my opinion :/
"lies, lies, and mo lies." Queen Aretha Franklin.
She's making it worse for herself tho,why would you not sing if you claimed they portrayed you wrong in the movie
This sounds real familiar, NOTORIUS, and lil' kim was mad at how she was portrayed
Crystal has a point. 😭
Funny how the main thing she was mad about (she can't sing) and when they ask her to sing she don't want to, u couldn't sing then and she can't now period
Not to be rude. look at crystal and look at TLC. TLC wasnt RnB they was pop, dance and to me they could sing but not great to me. Whats done in the dark comes to light. IJS
well tionne and lisa were light skinned too now
I don't understand why crystal is suing them T-boz or chilli aint lie don't lie about nothing im just say she just mad because T-boz and left eye kicked her out her own group just put it like that
thats what i was saying
People are ridiculous. If they had put every little detail & person involved with TLC in the movie, it would be 5-6 hours long! Crystal wanna ride the coattails of the popularity & success of the film now, otherwise, she wouldn't have even done this interview. Nobody even knew who she was before Monday night, but now she got a "collection of memoirs" coming out? Crystal, have a snickers and take a nap.
Crystal have a seat
gecko? you mean get-go?
another thing, Crystal didn't want to sing? well why not? prove every1 wrong, seems to me Tboz and Chilli got it right as far as Crystal in the movie no shade
Who is Crystal????? Next
Crystal Selene Jones waz tha original "C" b4 "Chilli" n TLC from 1990 to 1991
They tried to get this chick to sing 3 times in this clip and she would not **SUSPECT** Moving on, I see people trying to capitalize on something. That book is going to be about TLC just watch and what this dude saying could be somewhat true but at the end of the day when the group performed before Pebbles and LA, the group was deemed not right and that was it for Crystal. Point blank period, contract or no contract she was not with the group going forward and that was portrayed in the movie.
