    Fun facts:
    1- This video was edited for RUclips. The version that used to air on TV features a storyline from T-Boz and Left Eye.
    2- The guitarist is Dallas Austin. He produced the album and he's Chilli's baby's father.
    3. T-Boz wrote a poem that inspired this song.

      Cool because I thought I was tripping. I remembered the bus scene because even as a kid I understood what was happening but when I didn’t see it in their video, I thought I’d made it up. And then I was trying to figure out why I would make THAT scenario up.

    Yes, that's Chilli in the storyline. The unedited version of the video features T-Boz and Left Eye in storylines as well, dealing with racial bullying and gang violence, respectively.
    The guitarist is the producer of this song and a lot of TLC songs, Dallas Austin. He and Chilli were in a relationship and had a son together.

    Good music video and message in this song. I miss the 90s, nostalgia is hitting me hard right now, hopefully "What About Your Friends" makes the week. Since you're doing a TLC week, we need a Spice Girls week! They are both the best selling girl group of all time, Spice Girls being the best selling of all time worldwide and TLC best selling girl group of all time in the US. Let's face it they are both ICONIC part of the 90s. ✨

  • @davidmernick7360
    @davidmernick7360 8 месяцев назад +4

    Yes, that's Chilli herself in the breast implant storyline. As others have already mentioned the original music video featured four storylines: the bulimic girl plus one for each of the women. T-Boz's storyline had her playing a high school student who was harassed by racist classmates and Left Eye played a girl who's attacked and nearly shot by drive-by shooters. While T-Boz's scenes are at least somewhat related to the overall concept of looks and self-image, it may have been taken out because her "character" in the video is rescued by either a teacher or principal and therefore doesn't have agency in her own story the way that Chilli and the overweight girl do. Left Eye's scenes, meanwhile, have nothing really to do with the theme of the song/video and MTV in particular wasn't big on depictions of gun violence back then, so it's much easier to see why those scenes were cut from later versions of the video.

    I love TLC. This and Creep are my favourite songs. I always felt that Unpretty was because they felt pretty until they were made to feel not pretty ('used to be secure until I met you'), so the confidence was taken away and they became Unpretty. Don't know if I'm explaining it well enough. Thanks for the reaction, really great insights and totally agree.

She is one of the best selling female artists of all time, has several Grammys and other awards, was one of the leading acts of the 90s, and she is known for her numerous hits and her very distinct and unique voice, trust me you guys would love it. I couldn’t fit all of her hits in this list, but I think these may be some of her best and most important songs. A week dedicated to this legend would be amazing.
