They definitely could have but Tionne and Chilli never actively pursued solo careers. Chilli loves TLC and that's her life! She put her solo albums on hold two times (2000, 2008) to do TLC projects. Tionne started a solo album in 2003 but she never finished. She said her desire has always been working behind the scenes. Lisa was the only one who really put effort into a solo career.
@John Edwards Are you talking about the Supernova album? I had heard it. I even found it at a flea market. I heard it was only released in Asian markets. So I could only guess that the copy I bought was imported. It wasn't a bad album, though. Left Eye WAS, however, recording an album for Death Row under the name N.I.N.A. at the time of her death. I wonder how that would have been.
I think T Boz was the best outta all 3 of them. I know Lefteye is kind of the fan favorite, but I get it. It's easy to see why people would gravitate towards her. And then if not Lefteye, Chilli seems to be like the next one who gets a lot of fan love and recognition. But me personally, I always prefer T Boz. That's nothing against the other 2 because they are both great too. But T Boz is just cool as hell. The way she sings sounds soooo dope. Her singing voice is just this really low and has this sort of hypnotizing vibe to it.
T Boz was THAT girl back when TLC was hitting, Left Eye got on a lot of folks nerves with her antics back then, and Chilli was perceived as boring--younger fans now miss Left Eye and Chilli has been on TV more so they gravitate to them now. But T Boz was always Boss. TLC is the best girl group ever anyway so it's all good.
This song should have been used as a promotion to educate young people on masturbation: 1.) decreases std’s 2.) decreases teenage pregnancies 3.) decreases bursts of anger from sexual frustration that teens go through (which is why they act so crazy all the time).
She was the better and stronger dancer than Lisa and Rozanda. People only hyped Lisa because she passed on. I’m not discrediting Lisa at all but TBoz is the voice of TLC. She also wrote some of those songs and co-wrote them as well. Lisa suggested aesthetics, wrote her rap lyrics, would try to secure certain hit songs, names their albums, and would suggest their clothing or set styles.
T-Boz looked so damn gorgeous in that all-black fishnet ensemble. A shame this joint is so underrated. Never really appreciated it until recently. The more mature you get, the more your old school faves get hotter with age.
Respect to T-Boz and TLC as a whole for their contribution to the culture and for their courage in challenging/crossing societal boundaries. It was a risk that could've easily derailed the average career.
I can’t unhear the “All That” intro song in my head. I know TLC sings the intro but I didint noticed to right now how similar the sound and chorus sounds. #90skid
they were on a hiatus due to the bankruptcy after crazysexycool so they all were free to do whatever like lefteye getting with lilkim to do not tonight remix
She had/has a respective solo career. Between her 2000 hit song from the Rugrats movie to this to her 1999 book thoughts her 2017 book sick life and movie video appearances and acting gigs shes done well... She had a soap aopera gig just last year that pays buku $ so she's doing alright solo. Shes now selling cbd independenly so shes hanging in there solo...
The title of the song was taboo and kept under wraps like homosexuality. Perhaps it'll be a little bit acceptable today compared to back in the days. Aside from all of that, the production work on the track was 🔥
Boz was stunning in this video!!! I wish TLC did what DC did after _Survivor_ was released. Michelle, Kelly and Beyoncé releasing solo albums in 2002/03. And DC's solo albums during that time period catered to different markets, I just wish TLC was the first to do it. Boz could've dropped a G-Funk/P-Funk styled album, then Chilli with a quiet storm/R&B album and lastly Left Eye with the hip hop infused album. And it could've worked out had it not been so many hands in the money pot. RIP Left Eye. ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
Well Left Eye did propose/challenge that they do a 3 CD album showcasing their solo talents. And T-Boz and Chilli didn't get her vision as they didn't with so many other things. They could've made history.
This video inspired Ciara’s “Like a Boy” and it also inspired another overrated female singer who I won’t name but she used it for her “Upgrade U” video
Tionne was never marketable as a solo artist...Left Eye was. If Tionne went solo it wouldnt sell...Left Eye was more an ovrerall dynamic entertainer / performer. Tionne just didnt have the grit that Left Eye or Rozanda had.
This single makes me wonder what her solo run would ve been like she is talented with the group and on her own she can sing and dance back then and still is a killer combo
Like aged vintage wine..♈ T Boz is ever more beautiful than during her debut and subsequent earlier TLC years with bandmates ♓ Chili & ♊ Left Eye... Being both a mother and entrepreneur has done her well♈ T Boz looks have improved with age .she looks even better than her 20 something years in my honest opinion...🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰4️⃣♈ T Boz ❤️💯🙏
I love this song so much. T-Boz did it on this one ❤🔥🔥. It’s such a jam and always will be. Happy 53rd Birthday to Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins! I love you always and forever. ❤❤🥳🎉🎊4/26/2023
In TLC she was always the cool one. On her solo projects she was crazy sexy and cool. She shined through in this piece. She was gorgeous than ever in this
Adding this to my faves...sure would like to see some more from Ms. TBoz and Chilli...but I understand the respect for LeftEye...Lord I miss them... #TLCFanForever
When I was in the 3rd grade my teacher was at the front of the class teaching, and she noticed me writing in my music folder, but she wasn’t teaching music. She asked me to come show her what I was writing and I tried to throw it away. She took it out the trash can and it was the lyrics to this song. She sent me to the office and my mama BEAT MY ASS!!! Lol she knew I loved T Boz but these lyrics were so horrible now that I think about it lol
This came out when I was 6…. Now as a 33 yr old all I can’t think about is the fact that she really made a song about masturbation and was super aggressive when singing it 😳
This song is STILL 🔥🔥🔥 Female empowerment is a beautiful thing. Also, I was young as HELL when the song came out. I bought the CD in McCain Mall when I was hanging out with my friends. Got home and played this damn song ALL NIGHT. Parents came in my room like "did you have fun??? What'd you get?" I hit play , and "I AIN'T AFRAID TO TOUCH MYSELF, I DON'T NEED NOBODY ELSE" parents never brought their asses back into my room again asking me what I bought while I was out.😂
This was previously supposed to been a left over track from the crazysexycool album but got picked up as the soundtrack for the movie fled 1996 ❤️ I love this song sadly underrated it would of blew the charts away at the time 🤟🏾
TLC... crazy=left eye, sexy=chilli cool=Tboz.. all the way.. I was 7 or 8 listening to crazy sexy cool and I always thought she was the coolest girl in the world
Is it me or can I hear Chili's vocals a little bit in the background? Well, this song WAS meant for TLC originally, not just T-Boz. But it would've topped the charts either way. They all got formidable talent when they're together or separated #ItGoesBothWays #LoveThem
Eli C wtf u about??? This song was a hit for TBoz as a solo artist. a Top 20 hit at that??? so why wouldn't it be a hit for TLC with Tboz singing the whole lead like she did for Creep????
Chilli is my favorite member of TLC, but overall I loved all three of them - (T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chilli)! They are all among my many celebrity crushes!
I have been in love with ♈ T Boz since 1992 & I am not afraid to say it..I am still in love with ♈ T Boz...She did it for me in 1992 & still does it for me now..She is my heroine & I always wanted to hold her hand gently and have her sing love songs to me..I could listen to her sing forever ♈ T Boz
I recall another version of this video, with more characters, like her being in a strip club. I wonder where that version of this video is? Loveeeee T-Boz always and forever!!
I always thought Tboz was so pretty.
Kayc106 u and miliion others like myself
Kayc106 She was and still is.
I am not an addict I agree she is still pretty but she does have sickle cell so that why she look different
She still is
Kay C I used to have a thing for a T-Boz back in the day.
I love her unique singing voice
I truly believe that T-Boz, Chili and Left Eye could have all had sucessful solo albums
They definitely could have but Tionne and Chilli never actively pursued solo careers. Chilli loves TLC and that's her life! She put her solo albums on hold two times (2000, 2008) to do TLC projects. Tionne started a solo album in 2003 but she never finished. She said her desire has always been working behind the scenes. Lisa was the only one who really put effort into a solo career.
They were stronger together

Left Eye WAS, however, recording an album for Death Row under the name N.I.N.A. at the time of her death. I wonder how that would have been.
I'm not so sure about chili
@John Edwards Yeah I have the Supernova album too!
Her voice is truly unique no other sounds like hers.
True. She had her own singing style, the way she sings _baby_ at 1:47 is so hers.
Facts
Yes she does!
very nasally
Very soulful voice
I always loved her raspy singing voice
T-Boz looks like a beautiful angel that came from heaven at 2:22
I think T Boz was the best outta all 3 of them. I know Lefteye is kind of the fan favorite, but I get it. It's easy to see why people would gravitate towards her.

I think they all were good each could have had a great solo career especially t boz & left eye.
PotawatomiThunderNew .........Yes I totally get what you are saying PotawatomiThunderNew! She fine in this video too hehe
PotawatomiThunderNew yeah TBoz has that Raspy voice luv that shit kinda edgy

PotawatomiThunderNew T Boz is my spirit animal!! She's such a badass!
Tboz raspy voice is😍😍😍😍😍
The things that TLC has accomplished is absolutely amazing. They should be considered a national treasure.
This song should have been used as a promotion to educate young people on masturbation:
1.) decreases std’s
2.) decreases teenage pregnancies
3.) decreases bursts of anger from sexual frustration that teens go through (which is why they act so crazy all the time).
The 😂
Decrease abortion too.
T Boz was so talented. always felt she never got enough credit in TLC
She was the better and stronger dancer than Lisa and Rozanda. People only hyped Lisa because she passed on. I’m not discrediting Lisa at all but TBoz is the voice of TLC. She also wrote some of those songs and co-wrote them as well. Lisa suggested aesthetics, wrote her rap lyrics, would try to secure certain hit songs, names their albums, and would suggest their clothing or set styles.
Imagine if Left Eye spit of one her 🔥 verses with her cute squeaky voice 😍
Icing on the cake
I was so thinking this 😍🔥
T-Boz looked so damn gorgeous in that all-black fishnet ensemble. A shame this joint is so underrated. Never really appreciated it until recently. The more mature you get, the more your old school faves get hotter with age.
Ain't that the truth.
@Robert Scott thought i was the only one, i feel swindled
i agree
Tboz is so gorgeous 😍 she is one of my 90s crushes. I love this song and video.
Who didn’t crush on her she’s so beautiful.
Her voice is like liquor. Amazing one of the best voices of our generation
Respect to T-Boz and TLC as a whole for their contribution to the culture and for their courage in challenging/crossing societal boundaries. It was a risk that could've easily derailed the average career.
Criminally underrated.
Absolutely. This was some 🔥🔥🔥
💯
Ong🔥🔥
Still watching in 2019.
T-Boz was always my favorite TLC member, I wish she did a solo album , at least she's the main voice behind TLC.
I liked they way she was the Guy and the girl !! I see you 👀 boz! ❤️
I just caught that after all these years. Lol That part went hard. I really couldn't tell until now.
Who else had NO idea T-Boz had her own music???? 🙋🏾♂️🙋🏾♂️
Model Music Management A lot of her own music is released on soundtracks
I remember this song back then.
She had a couple of solo songs 🤦🏾♂️
@@bertyo3409 What was the other solo song?
@@cherryjig7983 wanna take me back is one of them
I can’t unhear the “All That” intro song in my head. I know TLC sings the intro but I didint noticed to right now how similar the sound and chorus sounds. #90skid
😂😂😂 l had no business listening to this when l was lil....didnt know what she was talkin bout. All l knew was its T-Boz from TLC so IM WATCHIN IT
She rocked this whole track! You know she enjoyed this!!! 💙🌹
T did her thing with this one. The original version is way better than that remix. She kilt this.
It's too bad her solo career never took off. She had a lot of potential without TLC.
She never really put much effort into really launching her solo career. They've always dropped their solo endeavors for TLC.
they were on a hiatus due to the bankruptcy after crazysexycool so they all were free to do whatever like lefteye getting with lilkim to do not tonight remix
@Sandy Louise She has Lupus, too? I thought it was just sickle cell.
She had/has a respective solo career. Between her 2000 hit song from the Rugrats movie to this to her 1999 book thoughts her 2017 book sick life and movie video appearances and acting gigs shes done well... She had a soap aopera gig just last year that pays buku $ so she's doing alright solo. Shes now selling cbd independenly so shes hanging in there solo...
It wouldn't have work
Whoever produced this song, I find it amazing. A person has a right to do whatever makes them feel good. Rather than this relationship bullcrap.
Dallas Austin produced this jam
T Boz is gorgeous.
How this song didn’t blow up when TLC was everywhere at this point is a crime.
I always thought the same thing. I only remember seeing it on video, but not hearing on the radio
Subject matter 😅
I wonder y it didn’t Atlease get a million by 8 years
The title of the song was taboo and kept under wraps like homosexuality. Perhaps it'll be a little bit acceptable today compared to back in the days.

Where ciara got her ideas from like a boy. Tboz a boss
Minelva LaPlante Cleary!! T boz inspired her lol😎
I can see why, same concept but different approaches. #polaropposites
This video inspired Ciara’s “Like a Boy” and it also inspired another overrated female singer who I won’t name but she used it for her “Upgrade U” video
Yup
Wish she made more solo songs 😕
Her song "Someday" sounds way better than this.... One of her best songs
Absolutely
Yup. But she was loyal to TLC.
Tionne was never marketable as a solo artist...Left Eye was. If Tionne went solo it wouldnt sell...Left Eye was more an ovrerall dynamic entertainer / performer. Tionne just didnt have the grit that Left Eye or Rozanda had.
Left eye needed the solo career
Massively underrated
T-Boz Is Amazing And She's My Role Model ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I admire her voice her voice is so amazing.
I know but she doesn't talk the way she sings.
@@rubyhouston5513 You right.
This single makes me wonder what her solo run would ve been like she is talented with the group and on her own she can sing and dance back then and still is a killer combo
Why isn’t this on Spotify- I used to play this to death. Still got the single cd!
You be rubbing em out huh?
"That's the safest way to making it feel good..."@2:03 @@jayb9380
T-Boz the most stunning out the whole group
She is.
I always thought TLC had the best dance group moves in their clips hands down. Sexy without even trying to.
I always wonder why she never took a chance on a solo career, I think she would had stood out perfectly!
She wanted to focus on her group only unlike DC
Really fool 😒.....you know she can't sang
But I now see how all three of them made a unit that can't be beat

Yall remember the controversy of this song when it came out😂😂
What controversy ⁉️
@@JanelleGodwin-zl8lino one actually did a song about masturbation back in those days so it caused controversy
@@madodamasinga9340lol I remember! This was pushing it back then.
I remember this song because I was like 11 and my Mama used to listen to this song all the time. She should not have had me listening to this! Lol...
Lmao
I was about 10 when I first heard it and saw the video. This video gave me a funny feeling.
I just realized that the guy dancing in this video is actually tboz! (I was so young when this came out to have noticed back then) Who knew!?
i didnt know either
You mean Left Eye
I noticed it when I was little. It took a few times watching the video though so don't feel bad.
@@tshepo_thato no boo that’s t Boz
She is the only black female singer I know with a low voice ❤❤
T-Boz is the dopest female of 90's period!
I love this song so much. T-Boz did it on this one ❤🔥🔥. It’s such a jam and always will be. Happy 53rd Birthday to Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins! I love you always and forever. ❤❤🥳🎉🎊4/26/2023

I wish T-Boz went solo.
She was amazing
TBoz was always the top star in TLC even though the 3 together are awesome with Left then Chili in that order...Great group and talent !
This is first song l ever listening Tionne Watkins it’s her B-Day today so Happy Birthday to her!!!!!!🥳🎉🎂 04/26/24

How can you not love t-boz 🤷😘😘😘😘Touch yourself it's more healthy then giving ya treasures away it 2020 babyyyyyy🤷🤷🤷🤷
she pretty!!!!!!😘💁👊💕🔥💸💰👑😍
This song has always been written for T-boz and I love it.
WTennille thanks to Dallas Austin
Classic Indeed this was Hard back in 1996!
There is absolutely nothing special about this video or her voice y'all are insane! Yes she's pretty but her voice is better for the 90's era ..
This my first time seeing this and it's 2020 wow she sounds good hope she makes another song
Agreed!!
True
Y'all must be some youngsters
Really? Where you been
@@danzieltaylor6394 I was thinking the same thing
The female Keith Sweat .
tboz doesn't whine lol
Nunya lol i can see why he would say that though. she doesnt whine but she does sing from her throat the way Keith Sweat does.
wumanism that’s why they have a song together
Word 😆😆😆
@@lamujermaslinda 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember Hot 97 playing this alot back then...back when the only curses they edited out were the 4 letter ones
This was a bold statement in the 90s.
I used to watch this on the box in 1996... Love it!!!
Real shit😂💯👍
Tboz and left eye is my favorite
When I was in the 3rd grade my teacher was at the front of the class teaching, and she noticed me writing in my music folder, but she wasn’t teaching music.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh my I can understand back in the 90's why parents would not let their kids listen to this type of music.
Yo why this has me cackling😂😂😂😂😭 nowadays your situation is probably such a norm.
Good song! T- Boz is the boss in this! She owns it!
Summer of 1996 jam right here....damn I wish I could go back in time.
This is why chili was neccessary. She took the vocal weight when T-boz voice wasn't what it should be 4 certain notes
😳omg why the hell am I just seeing this??!!!Ive been missing out on this video & song all of these years 😔straight 🔥🔥🔥
Yesss I just heard this song for the first time a couple months ago I’m like whattt this is 🔥
She was the best looking out of the group
This came out when I was 6…. Now as a 33 yr old all I can’t think about is the fact that she really made a song about masturbation and was super aggressive when singing it 😳
T Boz, you are a beautiful soul. Thanks for the song. May the fates of destiny swing me to your music again. Much Love, Shaggy
The green outfit in this video was so cute on her 🥰🥰
yesss i love it
Wow. T-boz was both of them dancing lol
This song is STILL 🔥🔥🔥
Female empowerment is a beautiful thing.
Also, I was young as HELL when the song came out. I bought the CD in McCain Mall when I was hanging out with my friends. Got home and played this damn song ALL NIGHT.
Parents came in my room like "did you have fun??? What'd you get?"
I hit play , and
"I AIN'T AFRAID TO TOUCH MYSELF, I DON'T NEED NOBODY ELSE"
parents never brought their asses back into my room again asking me what I bought while I was out.😂
I love TBoz
Still beautiful as ever!
I'm not too crazy about the song, but Tboz is gorgeously beautiful. Of the 3, she's my favorite and always have been. No offense Chili...R.I.P L "L" L
T boz was the prettiest one. The song was cool and banging.😍❤️💜
This was my JAM when it was released. Had the casette single and knew ALL the words.
Like this song and T Boz is gorgeous
T boz killed this track no music like the 90's
I hope there is a way she could focus and become a long lasting successful solo artist.

I think you're hearing the background singers vocals, Debra Killings, she sang background for a ton of TLCs songs
Didn't she sing backup for Monica's "Like this and Like that"?
Yup^
Eli C It is a hit. Check the charts. And you don't have to like it. No one asked you.
Eli C wtf u about??? This song was a hit for TBoz as a solo artist. a Top 20 hit at that??? so why wouldn't it be a hit for TLC with Tboz singing the whole lead like she did for Creep????
I just realized T-boz was the guy in this video lol. Pretty clever.
SHIT HER BODY IS SUCH GOALS
Seriously though !
ya slept on this
I still want her and Toni Braxton to do a song together
I love her skin, flowlles.
She got a good style in this video. I love the green one.
