Ciara Pays Homage To TLC By Recreating “No Scrubs” For Halloween 2021

Ciara didn’t come to play games this year for Halloween. After receiving praise for her Selena impersonation just a day previously, Ciara went all out today (Oct 30) and broke the Internet by posing as not just one, but all three members of TLC, as she recreated the iconic “No Scrubs” music video!

The attention to detail is on point, as Ciara convincingly pulls off her Chilli, T-Boz and Left Eye — even taking on Lisa’s epic rap verse, which often gets overlooked due to radio airplay time limits omitting the rap.

Posting on social media, Ciara shared a side-by-side image of herself as TLC next to the original pose of the group that she chose to replicate, and she did them justice! She was proud to represent for her fellow ATL sisters.

“Honoring my hometown girls TLC,” Ciara said. “Their swag was on another level. One of the best female groups of all time! This was so much fun!”

Even Chilli approves of Ciara’s tribute and showed her some love via Instagram under the post. Former Arista boss LA Reid also joined in the praise, commenting “Yeah C!!”.

Yolonda Frederick was responsible for providing the make-up duties to bring Ciara’s recreation to life. She reveals that TLC were actually her first celebrity clients! “They believed in me and they gave me a shot”, she wrote. “I will forever be grateful to these uber talented… beautiful girls… Love them to the moon and back”.

The hairstyles were handled by celebrity hairstylist César DeLeön Ramirêz and the costumes were created by LA ROXX.

The original video was directed by Hype Williams and it won TLC the MTV Video Music Award for Best Group Video in 1999.

TLC Cancel Remaining Dates on ‘Celebration of CrazySexyCool’ tour

Leon@TLCArmy's avatarLeon@TLCArmy 1 Comment

It is with great sadness to reveal that TLC have had to cancel the remaining handful of dates on the ‘Celebration of CrazySexyCool‘ tour this year, so that T-Boz is given the adequate time to heal and recover from a viral infection she had developed whilst on the road.

Last week we reported that TLC had postponed and successfully rescheduled two of their tour dates in Texas. Unfortunately, the reshuffling of those dates meant that there were too many dates to perform at back-to-back.

T-Boz requires tour dates to be strategically spaced out in order to get the right amount of rest between shows, to prevent any complications with her Sickle Cell Anemia.

Although the girls had every intention to continue the tour, Chilli announced on Oct 7 that they were unable to perform in San Diego that night, as T-Boz suffered “a relapse in recovery from a recent viral infection”, Chilli said in a statement on her socials.

However, tonight on Oct 8 the girls announced the cancellation of the remaining two dates in LA on the tour. “T-Boz is currently recovering from a viral infection, but unable to perform this weekend”, TLC said in a statement. “While we hate to disappoint TLC fans, the collective health of our team takes precedence”.

The statement goes on to thank the dedicated fans for the “outpouring of love we’ve received since the tour began, and can’t wait to get back on the road to see fans next year”.

TLC have been having a blast on this tour, receiving rave reviews from critics and surprising fans with performances of songs they have never performed before, and keeping the shows fresh with a set of new dancers, remixes and the inclusion of the funky DJ Dubz, who keeps the party moving.

The second leg of the tour will continue in 2022, including rescheduling previously cancelled dates that have been affected this year.

We wish T-Boz a safe and healthy recovery. Take all the time you need to feel better. You have all our love, understanding and support, Now & Forever!

UPDATE: The two dates still happening are:

OCT 21
Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa
Tampa, FL

OCT 26
Muckleshoot Casino Resort
Auburn, WA

TLC Forced To Postpone CrazySexyCool Tour Dates Due To T-Boz’s Allergic Reaction to Smoke

Leon@TLCArmy's avatarLeon@TLCArmy 1 Comment

TLC were forced to reschedule some of the dates on their current ‘Celebration of CrazySexyCool’ tour on Oct 2, after revealing that T-Boz had been suffering from an allergic reaction to the recreational smoking that had taken place backstage at a previous show in Belton, TX on Sept 30.

As a result, their shows in Texas on Oct 2 and Oct 3 were rescheduled to Oct 4 and Oct 5, respectively. However, due to the rescheduling of the Houston and Dallas dates, their tour buses and trucks are not logistically able to make the performance at the Mesa Amphitheatre in Arizona on time. Therefore, they are unfortunately forced to cancel the show on Oct 6.

In a statement, TLC posted, “Due to extreme cigarette and recreational smoke being present backstage at a previous show, T-Boz suffered an allergic reaction. The group has always enforced a strict no smoking policy at their shows in an effort to prevent any health related issues for the group and/or crew.”

Chilli insists that although the Arizona date is now cancelled, that it will indeed be rescheduled at a later date. “Arizona fans we love you and will be back soon!”, they said in a statement.

TLC’s show on Oct 30 at the Spirit Mountain Casino in Oregon has also been cancelled. All current ticket holders will receive a refund within 14 business days.

Exposure to the toxins in cigarettes is very dangerous for T-Boz because she has Sickle Cell Anemia. The disease itself comes with an increased risk of pulmonary abnormality due to deoxygenated hemoglobin, and cigarette smoke only increases the chances of severe illness. 

The remaining dates on the tour will go ahead as planned, so fans wishing to attend can still get tickets at livenation.com and ticketmaster.com

Please ensure you refrain from smoking whilst in attendance to the shows.

TLC are being supported by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony on this tour.

Wishing TLC a continued healthy tour. Glad to see T-Boz was able to attend the show tonight in Houston, TX at the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land. Check them out in the clip below:
