"First of all, I love TLC to death. Anything that has to do with them, I'm automatically interested. And I certainly don't mind shelling out money to buy their products, which is why I bought this. But there are three problems with the Hands Up/Girl Talk disc.

The first problem is more of an inherent problem within the group: there's no Lefteye. And no Lefteye means a third of the magic is gone. The 2 videos displayed here obviously show T-Boz and Chilli going through the motions. They were grieving, their heart wasn't in it, and their most interesting partner was no longer there to pick up the slack.

This all means, the videos are not fun to watch. In fact, I believe these are the two worst videos I've ever seen from them.

The second problem is that Damaged is not on the dvd. Why only the first 2 singles. I would have been happy to pay a dollar or two extra if it meant we got all of the videos from the 3D album.

Which leads me to the third and biggest problem: none of us would have had to buy this half-as/sed made dvd if Arista would release a dvd with all of tlc's videos.

I see U2 and Missy Elliot and Madonna and all of these other artists releasing video collections, and I wonder where is tlc's collection. Granted, a dvd was released as a second disc to their imported Hits collection, but all of the videos weren't included, just the videos from their biggest hits.

I recommend Arista get off their butts and pay decent attention to the group that made them A LOT of money in their prime instead of focusing on all of the pretty-faced second tier artists with third tier talent."
