The performance will be taped as part of a new TNT reality TV competition called “The Sum: All-Star Music Battle.”

“We created ‘The Sum’ as not only a show, but a multifaceted platform for sport, entertainment and music lovers,” Alex Katz, co-founder of Anagram Studios, said. “While most concert goers may not sing as well as their favorite artist, singing alongside other fans creates a beautiful bond, and in turn, a heartwarming sound. Our company believes in the power of togetherness, and we look forward to The Sum uniting fans and artists in song around the world.”

Per “The Sum’s” description, “‘The Sum’ is an original concept based on the best part of any concert — fans singing along with the artists, also known as ‘the common chorus effect.’ In ‘The Sum,’ fans share the spotlight with their favorite music stars by performing a song together.”

TLC seem to be getting comfortable with endorsing sports establishments as of late. Last week, the legendary group were surprise special guests at the Altanta Falcons v New Orleans Saints game on November 26, where a number of the biggest hip-hop stars from Atlanta performed together to celebrate 50 years of hip-hop!

T-Boz and Chilli were honored to participate and represent for their sister, the late, great Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, whose talents and contribution to hip-hop did not go unmissed, as she paved the way for many other rappers that came after her.

TLC graced the pitch at the end of the first quarter and graciously performed a segment of their global smash, “Waterfalls“, with Left Eye’s rap playing out beforehand.

Who will you choose to perform with LIVE in Las Vegas?!
