Take a break from that waterfall chasing that you were warned against to watch the premiere of CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story on VH1 tonight! You must remember TLC – T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chilli – and how they were ubiquitous with 90s music. But between the Grammys and platinum albums and MTV videos, there was a lot of drama, both intra-group and against the record companies. And you might remember a certain someone’s house being set on fire. CrazySexyCool documents the entire saga, running from one drama to the next. With how much has happened, things must proceed at breakneck speed.
Drew Sidora plays Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, Keke Palmer is Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, and Lil Mama plays Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes. Also starring is Donny Boaz as TLC’s manager Bill Diggins, Evan Ross as Dallas Austin, , Carl Anthony Payne II as L.A. Reid, and Rochelle Aytes as Pebbles Reid.
Both the director and script have good pedigrees – Charles Stone III directed Drumline, and screenwriter Kate Lanier wrote What’s Love Got To Do With It, Set it Off, and Beauty Shop.
