I WOULDA BEEN HEATED!! I couldnt even be friends with her after that cuz i would be ready to fight her. she couldve went to honduras anytime. it was an extremely selfish move not only on tboz and chilli but her fans as well. this film really made me dislike left eye.
shareJust think,had she recorded that album and toured instead of going to Honduras she'd probably still be alive.
I believe that was a different trip-Still Honduras, just a different time. I noticed that they intertwined a lot of the events that happened in the movie, like the 2000 Grammys where Lisa was upset that her album flopped, but her album wasn't even out at that time.
You're so cool Brewster!

u dont just walk away from that kind of money. there's no guarantee that u will get that opportunity again, especially with their luck and the way things were going at the time.

What I was irked by was how they were complaining about being hungry...then ended up getting into a food fight. WTF?
I agree. I think at that point Left Eye was basically over it. With each album she saw her role as creative director get smaller and smaller and all she did was perform a rap verse and dance. I think she was frustrated.
I also feel that the group was their strongest when she had more creative input. Also as she became more spiritually enlightened I think her values changed and she didn't care about the money as much.
As for the food scene. I assumed that food was there but Pebbles wouldn't let them break to eat it! Lol
What?
I think you guys are missing the point of why she gave up 25 million. They had already made their 50 million by completing their contract agreements. That is why their agent told them they could make another 25 million.
Well, If I just finished making 50 million, why would I risk my soul for another 25 million? I would take a nice break too!
She needed a break. Putting her mental and physical health first is a selfish move? How ironic are you.

LOL gurrrl please. thats such a lame ass excuse. i know single moms working 2 jobs and doing school and they arent getting breaks! oh poor left eye having to travel to foreign countries and lip sync on stage for 4 hours a night. poor girl... my heart is bleeding Tboz was the sick one and she was down for it but left eye cant do it for physical and mental health reasons??? BYE!!
In reality part of the reason Left Eye didn't want to continue touring WAS because she was looking out for T and her health issues.
shareSometimes I wonder if Left Eye would have toured and went for the 25 mil she would have still been alive maybe.

According to the OP Dave should have NEVER put his well being before that 50 million. Left Eye also should have put that 25 million before her well being.

why do u keep saying that like u are making a logical point??? how is going to work affecting one's well being??? especially when your job is to basically show up and remember your lines, lyrics, routines etc. while being OVERPAID in the process. im gonna call my boss tomorrow morning and tell him i cant come in to work because it affects my well being. i wonder what he will say.
Keep their sanity? What are you talking about?? Neither of them kept their sanity, so they should've went on and got paid. Some of y'all are killin me with these wack excuses, trying to be loyal fans.
shareYou cannot run from fate.

i doubt it was fate. she wasnt wearing a seatbelt. more like negligence....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhWznMfzYL4
And you can PROVE of course that that would've made all the difference, that she would've been alive otherwise? You think fate announces its presence with a large neon sign and only applies to specific situations?
shareSee...idkkkk. The word "fate" or that "things happen for a reason" phrase always seems to be used as an excuse or a comfort word for people when things don't go their way. I like to believe moreso in choice. It's our choices that get us where we are at. We have freedom to choose but we must be careful and choose wisely because our choices have consequences, good or bad.
Left Eye chose to go to Honduras, drive without a seat belt, drive at a high speed, and take her eyes off of the road.
See...idkkkk. The word "fate" or that "things happen for a reason" phrase always seems to be used as an excuse or a comfort word for people when things don't go their way.
TELL IT!! I could see if she died of breast cancer or some other illness that she has no control about but she was driving without a freakin seatbelt! how the fck is that fate??? that was a choice! she was the only one to die in the whole car. and i am willing to bet the guy in the passenger seat had his seatbelt on.
You take a chance either way. A couple months back there was a vehicle flip and rollover, the girl driving had her seatbelt on, didn't get thrown out of the car...total paralysis and brain dead, seat belts aren't a guarantee, and I can't really say THAT would be better.
shareoh poor left eye having to travel to foreign countries and lip sync on stage for 4 hours a night. poor girl... my heart is bleeding
Wow, you really don't know ANYTHING about her, do you? You think that's ALL she did?
oh honey ive seen plenty of tlc performances and left eye was hardly doing anything that would be a danger to her health.
Yeah, you watch the performances, that's it, are you seeing her design all their outfits, are you seeing her act as manager for Blaque and Egypt? Are you seeing her design her own line of shoes? Are you seeing her in the studio, writing the music, writing the songs? Are you watching the rehearsals? Are you seeing all of her solo projects that she wanted to pursue and needed to break away from the group to accomplish? No, you're only seeing the finished product and not even bothering to see the woman behind the scenes where the REAL work is done.
shareYeah, you watch the performances, that's it, are you seeing her design all their outfits,
left eye drew and sewed all their outfits??? receipts please.
seeing her act as manager for Blaque and Egypt?
she was managing them BY HERSELF??? receipts please and who the hell is egypt??
Are you seeing her design her own line of shoes?
she was designing them all by herself?? what was the name of this shoe line??
Are you seeing her in the studio, writing the music, writing the songs?
lisa only wrote her rap verse on no scrubs and CO WROTE 3 filler songs on fanmail.
Uh huh, instead of saying 'oh that's not hard, I could do that single handedly and it would be easy', you're going to say she never did any of it. Just proving the point, you could never do what she did, too much work. Otherwise, why AREN'T you doing what she did? So easy, big money, right?

CAN YOU READ??? when did i say any of that?? i simply asked for validations on your statements. sources?? receipts?? where did you get your information from?
After Lisa died T-Boz said that Lisa designed all their outfits and single handedly made some of their outfits for the "What about Your Friends?" video, T-Boz also said Lisa was negotiating to have HER group, Blaque, that she was managing, open for their concerts, and it's actually pretty common knowledge that she was their manager, people have known that for years. During the making of Lisa's "Block Party" video she was showing off the shoes she designed, the purple shoes she wore in the video, that she designed with the interchangeable Velcro decals that she planned to have on the market by that Christmas. Obviously you're not a fan of hers because you know nothing about her, never bothered to look any of it up and also don't think she actually worked at anything, so...why are you even here?

im sorry is this the left eye appreciation board??? and i am a tlc fan fyi. i just know alot about the industry and i know that celebrities usually dont do all the things you said left eye did by themselves. which is why i asked u for sources which u still havent provided.
So go ask T-Boz, apparently she would know a lot of it since she was the one making the statements. And if you 'know a lot about the industry', why aren't you working in it since it's not work and big money?
shareAnd if you 'know a lot about the industry', why aren't you working in it since it's not work and big money?
again.... your reading comprehension skills need work because i never said that.
You said all Lisa ever did was sing 4 hours a night, it sure didn't sound like you were trying to imply anything she did WAS *hard* work.
sharei was implying that what she does isnt a danger to her health and she is overpaid while people in the REAL world are underpaid and do a whole lot more than she does and actually have serious health problems. AM I LYING?? She had no valid excuse to not go on tour. I dont give a damn what u say.

People do much more and get paid waaaaaaaaaaaaay less.

well she went to hondurus and we saw how that went......
shareAnd you can guarantee she wouldn't have been in a car wreck in Georgia?

i can guarantee that wearing your seatbelt increases your chances of survival
That's not answering the question. Yeah in America the roads have speed limits and regulations, which the roads in Honduras lack, but can you guarantee she'd be alive today if she didn't go to Honduras?
shareWatching someone elses story from years ago, it's too simplistic to say "who wouldn't turn down the chance for $25 million?" but I think the crucial factor is what was going on inside Lisa's heart and soul. We're all on our own journeys and she followed her heart and I fully understand that. $25 million won't save your soul but perhaps her last trip did. Perhaps it was her time to go no matter what decisions she made and the trip rid her of demons so she could transcend to paradise.
Whatever the case, I respect her journey and her heart.
If only she had instead went on tour..She'd not only probably still be alive but also made bank. Really though, I don't think Lisa cared. She seemed to like putting herself first from what I've seen.
shareThose numbers have to be wrong. 25 million from 10 concerts was unheard of at that time. I remember they were supposed to play Charlotte back in Nov 199 and they cancelled/rebooked the show 3 times. Only to cancel on the day of the show citing T-Boz's health issues.
