TLC (group)
TLC eventually began working with other producers for their third album, until finally negotiating with Austin, who produced the bulk of the album. Lopes always had an idea of a futuristic-feel for the project, which Austin incorporated into the album. Titled "FanMail", the album was released in February 1999 to another critical and commercial success. It debuted at number one on the "Billboard" 200 chart and was certified six-time platinum by the RIAA for six million copies shipped in the United States, and worldwide sales exceed 14 million copies. "No Scrubs" was released as the lead single and became a worldwide hit, topping the singles chart in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and the United States. The album's second single, "Unpretty", became TLC's fourth number one hit on the "Billboard" Hot 100. The other three singles also received decent radio play: "Silly Ho", "I'm Good at Being Bad", and Edmonds-written ballad, "Dear Lie".
Let's Just Do It
Despite the low download sales of the single, "Let's Just Do It" received a very positive review from "Billboard" magazine. It says "The energy that made the trio's upbeat singles international smashes is evident here, along with Lisa's essence—a reminder that TLC was among the most successful female R&B groups of all time. Originally recorded in 1998, the Heavy Weights and Marcus DL's production builds a catchy and contemporary rhythmic structure."
Creep (TLC song)
Music critic Robert Christgau, AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine and "Time" magazine each declared the track one of "CrazySexyCool" best. "In many ways, TLC at least musically, were best when they were the most subtle", commented "Complex" Michael Arceneaux, who found the track's content "refreshing" for displaying women who "muddy up right and wrong in a relationship". From the same publication, Benjamin Chesna and Edwin Ortiz credited the song with making infidelity sound "empowering" while praising Austin's "silky smooth production", adding: "[Watkins] forced you into the arms of another lady, now you just have to keep it on the down low". "Slant Magazine" editor Sal Cinquemani was reviewing the greatest-hits album "20" when he observed that both girls' "finest" singles, "Creep" and "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg", had them "proudly flipping accepted modes of female sexual behavior and consent on their heads". "Idolator" journalist Robbie Daw explained the song's "staying power" was because it is a "provocative" track that dared to expose the "taboo, down-low" aspects of a relationship. In the 2014 biopic "CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story", "Creep" served as the backdrop to a dramatic scene where Lopes' character set her then-boyfriend Rison's bathtub filled with tennis shoes on fire and destroyed their mansion because of his infidelity. "Vibe" Clover Hope watched the scene and realized how "perfectly sexy and unapologetic" the song was at the time of its first release. "If you want a personal essay on why women cheat, just listen to 'Creep'. It's the single that's probably remained the most relevant over the years, and it's also a seamless breakdown of a cheating woman's thought process: 'Though I might mess around, it's only 'cause I need some affection. Yeah'."
Hat 2 da Back
"Hat 2 da Back" is a song by American girl group TLC from their debut studio album, "Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip" (1992). It was released as the album's fourth and final single.

The Very Best of TLC: Crazy Sexy Hits
Writing his review for online music guide AllMusic, author Andy Kellman gave the compilation four out of five stars while pointing out "In Your Arms Tonight", "Come Get Some" and "Whoop De Woo" as a couple of "smart picks" that weren't big hits on the album. However, Kellman still preferred them to other better songs from studio releases. For a conclusion, the writer compared the album to "Now & Forever: The Hits" as "a little [less] thorough", but still, it was a "fine substitute." British newspaper "Daily Express" gave the album three stars with a mixed review, stating: "Back in the Nineties, TLC were one of the biggest girl groups in the world, although listening to this best-of collection, it's not always easy to understand why." The critic observed that besides a handful of "brilliant" works like "No Scrubs", "Waterfalls" and "Unpretty", the trio also "churned out some pretty forgettable, bog-standard R&B." Also from England, Robert Fisk from local publication "News Shopper" disagreed, giving the greatest hits a four-star review and claimed that first-time listeners can "easily possible" enjoy the album without any knowledge of the back story. However, Fisk harshly criticized "Come Get Some" as the compilation's "only real negative" due to it being a "male rap-heavy" track, against the trio's usual lyrics dealing with female empowerment and "being equal to, if not stronger than, the men in their lives." In the end, the reviewer still gave out a praise for the album: ""Crazy Sexy Hits" is both a classic blend of R&B, hip hop and pop for those keen to rediscover the band as well as being a perfect place for anyone starting their TLC collection, working back one record at a time."

During TLC's first national tour as MC Hammer's opening act, Lopes and Thomas discovered that Watkins had sickle-cell anemia, an ailment which she kept a closely guarded secret until she became very ill during a show in the Southwest US. Watkins continued to battle her condition and eventually became a spokesperson for the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America in the late 1990s. She was hospitalized, Lopes and Thomas stayed with her and some concerts were cancelled. At the conclusion of the tour, TLC—who had received very small amount of money up to this point—decided to take more control of their careers and thus informed Pebbles that they no longer wished her to be their manager. Reid released the group from its management deal, but they remained signed to Pebbitone, and Reid continued to receive a share of their earnings.

In early March 2008, TLC launched a slightly refreshed look and promotional campaign, alongside a new slogan: "Life surprises". This new slogan came as TLC began to shift even more to personal stories, and away from the once-dominating home improvement shows. Programs focused on family life became the core of the channel. "Jon & Kate Plus 8", which by 2008 was the highest-rated program on TLC, and "Little People, Big World" were joined by "17 Kids and Counting" (which became "18 Kids and Counting" and then "19 Kids and Counting" as the Duggars, the family that the series centers on, expanded), and "Table for 12" in 2008 and 2009 respectively. The series "Toddlers & Tiaras" also debuted in 2008, and proved popular enough to spawn a spin-off in 2012, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo", focusing on the family life of recurring contestant Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, which was canceled in 2014.

FanMail
After the members of TLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 3, 1995, the girls went on a recording hiatus. The suit was eventually settled on November 25, 1996. Preliminary work on TLC's third studio album was delayed when friction arose between the group and their main producer Dallas Austin, who was by this time dating group member Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas and helping to raise their son Tron. Austin wanted $4.2 million and creative control to work on the project, resulting in a stand-off between the producer and the artists.

TLC (group)
TLC's career has been filled with both hits and headlines. The group was one of the few R&B acts to build a strong identity out of its initial success, and they exerted more control over each successive record. Their music – particularly the 11-million-selling "CrazySexyCool" and the 6-million-selling "FanMail", both of which won two Grammys each – set the standard for contemporary R&B. TLC helped to pioneer a deft blend of acoustic and computer sounds that paved the way for groups like Destiny's Child, as did their image as independent women. Whether addressing AIDS in "Waterfalls" or the struggle for female self-esteem in "Unpretty", they showed themselves able to take serious issues to the top of the pop charts.
TLC Travel

After taking a hiatus following Lopes' death, Watkins, Thomas, and Austin decided that they would complete the remainder of their fourth album, to be called "3D", which also featured production from Rodney Jerkins, The Neptunes, Raphael Saadiq, Missy Elliott and Timbaland. A decision was also made that TLC would retire after the release and promotion of "3D", rather than replace Lopes and continue as a group. However, ultimately they chose to carry on as a duo. Lopes appears vocally on "3D" as she had already completed her vocals for two songs for the new album. Another two other songs featured her vocals from previously unreleased songs. Several of the songs eulogized Lopes. "3D" was released on November 12, 2002.

TLC (TV series)
Dr Laurence Flynn (Played by Reece Shearsmith): A very unfortunate young Surgical House Officer who's only just started his job at the hospital. He's still haunted by the fact that he failed his final medical exams first time round (something his co-workers will never let him forget) and is determined to redeem himself. He is neurotic, clumsy, lacking in self-confidence and generally just not cut out for his job, and, unfortunately for him, is not at all popular among the other staff at the hospital despite his best efforts to befriend them. As a result, the staff play a lot of very cruel and often sadistic practical jokes on him, (such as fooling him into trying to revive a dead patient, getting him sectioned under the mental health act, and giving him jabs for no reason at all) and poor Dr Flynn ends up teetering on the edge of sanity for most of the series. He often suffers from lack of sleep and ends up seeing and doing some very strange things as a result. He is madly in love with nurse Judy.

Dennis continued this success by co-writing the "Pop Idol" theme (re-used for numerous international remakes of the show, including "American Idol"), and writing for Idol contestants, including Kelly Clarkson, Will Young, Gareth Gates, and Clay Aiken. Clarkson's single "Before Your Love" (a double a-side with "A Moment Like This") was Dennis' first US No. 1. Dennis' "Can't Get You Out of My Head" (recorded by Kylie Minogue) spent four weeks at number one in Britain, while also rekindling interest in Minogue in America, where it hit #7 on the "Billboard" Hot 100).

Creep (TLC song)
The song was described by many publications as a "masterpiece" and a "classic", and became one of the group's signature hits. Almost a decade after its debut, Mimi Valdés of "Vibe" said that the song lifted their "girl power movement" to new heights, with its female-empowerment theme inspiring works by many artists at the time, including Aaliyah, Missy Elliott and Destiny's Child. The term "creep" still appears in rap music. As with many TLC songs, "Creep" positioned women as the gazers and men as their objects. Mickey Hess wrote in his book "Icons of Hip Hop: An Encyclopedia of the Movement, Music, and Culture, Volume 2", "TLC celebrates women and encourages them to love men and demand respect from their men and from themselves."

A hurt Pebbles, who thinks that the girls don't trust her, storms out, so they decide to wait before pursuing the matter any further. Backstage following a concert, Chilli eyes Dallas talking to yet another girl, arousing her suspicions, and Tionne collapses on the floor and is taken to the hospital. A doctor informs Lisa, Chilli and Pebbles that Tionne's collapse was due a crisis from her sickle-cell anemia, a fact previously unknown to them, and she needs two weeks to recover, resulting in several cancelled shows. Tionne's mother complains to the doctor about not being given reassurance on the ongoing prognosis, but Tionne says that as long as she is living her dream of performing in front of thousands of people, she will be okay.
