Ranking TLC Albums

 

So this is my attempt at ranking the 5 albums of iconic girl-group TLC. I hope I was able to rank these as accurately  as possible 


#5: TLC

This was their last album, though the group is still active. The strong point of the album is that it has a throwback-like vibe to it as a whole. But unfortunately, the album doesn't really stand out in comparison to the rest of their library. Not that I expected it to when it came out, especially given how iconic TLC is. But at the same time, it would've been nice if the group went out with a bang and I don't feel that this album really did that. It also doesn't help that I didn't think the group needed a final album in the first place, but that's just my humble opinion.


#4: 3D

This is obviously the last album to feature deceased member Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes, though much of the album was finalized after the accident. Honestly, there’s nothing wrong with the album. But there are 2 factors that place it this low. The first being the tragedy of this being Left-Eye’s last work with the group probably overshadowing the album and the second being that the rest of TLC’s library is just more iconic. I’m well aware that I might be making a mistake with this placement, and I hope this is a realistic placement for this album.


#3: Ooooooooh...On The TLC Tip

I put this one higher because you gotta respect it for introducing us to TLC. Also, Ain’t 2 Proud 2 Beg is a BOP! I mistakenly believed that this was a cover of The Temptations version though. But the album was a really fun and carefree way of introducing us to the group. Its youthful  appeal works in a way that attracts a younger audience while it is also mature enough to appeal to older listeners as well. The next 2 albums are obviously just more iconic than this one. But at the same time, this was a good introduction for the trio.


#2: FanMail

It’s kind of a miracle this album turned out as successful as it did. There was a lot of drama during the long wait between this album and CrazySexyCool, particularly financial problems and other spectacles. Obviously this album includes the oh-so iconic No Scrubs. I’m not a huge fan of the song, but I won’t deny its impact and legacy (plus, the music video is AWESOME). It was really sweet of the girls to show love towards their fans through the title of this album. It indicates how much they cherish the fans, who clearly returned the favor via making this album a success. This obviously is the last album released in Left-Eye’s lifetime.


#1: CrazySexyCool

The album includes both Waterfalls and Creep, what do you expect? As impactful as FanMail is, CrazySexyCool pretty much cemented the group’s legacy. Creep may have been released first, but the second Waterfalls came out, TLC officially became legends. Also, the name of this album is freakin’ AWESOME. It works so well with the vibe these girls give off. I genuinely do not believe that TLC would be considered one of the GOATs in girls groups without this album (or Waterfalls). The impact it has over their careers is too big to deny and It was more than obvious that this would top the ranking.

American Idol 2025 Thoughts: Day 1

  American Idol  has officially reached its live shows so that means it's time to start the commentaries. For those of you who didn't track these last year, here's an explanation; I will be saying my thoughts on the contestants and their performances. In typical 'me' fashion, I will rank each performance to #1. But unlike my normal lists, this will be from worst to best.  This will be starting the following week as today is just an introduction. Our Top 24 has been chosen and they are as follows;     Canaan James Hill (Platinum)             Gabby Simone  Zaylie Windsor                         Mattie Pruitt  Thunderstorm Artis                  Drew Ryn  Che                                     ...

Introduction

Bio My name is Naomi Marie Elidios Chadwick. I was born in San Diego, California, but I currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I pretty much have a traditional family, which involves happily married parents, 1 younger sister, and an older brother. I was raised Christian, and I continue to practice Christianity to this day. This is not a spiritual blog but some of the content that I post is influenced by my faith. Every now and then I will post Christian content as well, just not always (except with Billboard ). The picture you see up above is me at the airport with my father after I graduated from AmeriCorps NCCC after 10 months of community service. In response I received a congressional award for community service. I've always been really proud of that. I was diagnosed with Asperger's (a form of Autism) around the age of 6, but I was not informed of my diagnosis until I was 12. I'm very into movies and television (animation especially), and pop culture as a whole, and I...

First Day Of 2024/2025 Awards Race

  It is about that time of year again where Hollywood gives out its most prestigious awards to most of the time the least deserving. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna pay attention like always. But this year we will be shaking things up a little. Allow me to explain; Here's How This Works: Each year, I will have a target subject I'm rooting for this season. When the nominations for each award show are announced, I will do a small commentary on whether or not the subject has a chance of winning. However, this year instead of focusing on just the target, I will also be focusing on those I think are frontrunners in different categories for the season as a whole, whether I'm rooting for them or not.  I will most likely say a last minute thought the day before the award show. I will be tracking down all the way up to the big dogs: THE OSCARS. The Awards: We will be focusing on 5 awards; -The Golden Globes -The BAFTA's -The Critics Choice -The SAG Awards and Of Cour...
