Part dance party, part deep dive, TLC Forever reminds audiences why this girl group remains so beloved. Directed by Matt Kay, the documentary travels back to 1991 as Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas and Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins hear their breakout hit “Ain’t 2 Proud 2 Beg” for the first time. From there, viewers follow TLC’s rise and the obstacles they faced on their journey. Whether legal battles, health issues, or the tragic loss of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, Chilli and T-Boz share it all with refreshing honesty.
Archival footage shows the trio having fun from early on. Their style stood out from typical girl groups in baggy clothes and bold attitudes. While other artists danced provocatively, TLC celebrated sexuality through empowerment. Songs like “Waterfalls” brought important messages too. Today considered pioneers, back then Missy Elliot says speaking freely “was a shock for women.”
Still, success came quickly with multiple platinum albums. The documentary...

TLC have an array of stars in their documentary “TLC Forever”.
The band — who are currently on the Hot Summer Nights Tour with Shaggy and special guests En Vogue and Sean Kingston — chatted to Et Canada’s Brittnee Blair about teaming up with the likes of Dave Grohl in the Lifetime doc, which chronicles the journey of the group.
Having someone like Grohl — who lost Foo Fighters’ drummer Taylor Hawkins last year — appear meant a lot, given TLC band member Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes died in 2002 in a car accident.
Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins said of Grohl, “He actually can understand exactly what we felt because he lost a group member as well. So, you know, there’s no one more perfect in my eyes that could have spoke on our behalf.”

TLC is one of the greatest girl groups in history. The Atlanta-based trio, made up of Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, rose to stardom during the 1990s after releasing their platinum debut single, "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg," which received a 1993 Grammy nomination for best R&b song. Following their initial success, TLC sent nine of their singles to the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart - four of which went No. 1: "Creep," "Waterfalls," "No Scrubs," and "Unpretty."
Now, more than three decades since the group first made their mark, Watkins and Thomas are looking back at their prolific careers with the release of their new Lifetime documentary, "TLC Forever," which premieres on June 3. According to the documentary's official description, "TLC Forever" will not only touch on the group's historic success but their biggest downfalls as well, including "internal fallouts,...
