March 31, 2008

Customer Review: classic
this is the classic album …. a must-have for all TLC fans! i just love listening to it on the way to work or wherever i need to go!
Customer Review: 3 1/2 stars - Not complete, but I am grateful for its release.
I couldn’t resist buying this in the store yesterday because I just love TLC’s music and charisma. They are also one of the few artists who I think truly mastered the art of the music video. Here’s the list of videos included on this DVD:

01. Ain’t 2 Proud 2 Beg
02. Baby-Baby-Baby
03. What About Your Friends
04. Creep
05. Red Light Special
06. Waterfalls
07. Diggin’ On You
08. No Scrubs
09. Unpretty
10. Girl Talk

This DVD contains the videos for their biggest hits, but I also would’ve liked to have all of their videos. Maybe even some of the solo ones. I really love all of them, but my favorites are “Waterfalls,” “No Scrubs” and “Unpretty.” “No Scrubs” is futuristic and cool, just like most of Hype Williams’ videos. The video also has Lisa’s rap segment, which definitely should’ve been included on the album. “Waterfalls” is just beautiful. Every time I watch it, it feels like the first time and I’m touched. “Unpretty” has a great story and message that I think everybody needs to hear these days. The 5.1 Surround Sound option is very nice. The quality sound brings the videos to life even more. The photo gallery is pretty lame. There are just four small pictures, one from each album/era. They’re nice, though. The behind-the-scenes footage also isn’t that exciting. It’s a little promo from the Fanmail era mixed with a few pictures and parts of videos.

Overall, like many have said before, this collection is great but incomplete. However, I’m grateful that we finally have a TLC video collection released. TLC continuously made great, compelling and energetic videos. (Note to record labels: wait until the end of an artist’s career to release a video collection and include all of them!)
