What You Need To Know About Blaque



That'd be Blaque, in their video "808". I have no idea what an "808" is, but I do know it goes "boom", and the Blaque girls enjoy it.

Sar and I bought a new cd the other day--the Blaque cd. We bought it being fans of rap and r&b music, in addition to cheesy pop. There were at least two songs that we would listen to (those being the *NSYNC song and "808") so we thought it would be worth the money. We learned three things:

And most importantly,no matter how much the Blaque PR people deny it:

BLAQUE = TLC


First of all, we could have gotten the JC thug song for free on any random Blaque site. Second, I know you are all asking, why is Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez a genius? Simple. She evidently has some kind of pull in the music industry, because she got three unknown, untalented teens not only a record deal, but a duet with *NSYNC (and since when has JC been *NSYNC)? and a spot on their tour. And you all know what THAT means? It means poor, unsuspecting *NSYNC fans will shell out $13 dollars just because their name appears on the back of the cd (there are 5 of them! *NSYNC is not JUST JC!). She is making a killing off of this! She knew the best way to make a buck in this market of teen pop sensations is to put a well known name on the CD.

So onto their sound. I don't care what they say, I don't care what Blaque.com says, I don't care what Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez says, Blaque and TLC sound JUST alike. The Rapping one, she sounds just like her. Here is a clip, or maybe the whole thing, who knows, of '808', and I THINK there is a clip of the Blaque girl rapping in it.:


808

Not one person can tell me she doesn't sound like Left Eye. And not one person can tell me that Lisa didn't say "hey, I think i'll start a mini-TLC,get a few bucks on the side, and nobody will be the wiser". Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure these girls are perfectly nice people. I'm sure that they have hopes and fears, and mom's and dad's just like the rest of us. I'm just saying that they have gotten to where they are (which, as of now, is not THAT far) by who they KNOW, not what they can do. If they can live with that, then more power to them. They just have to deal with the comparisons to TLC, and that is a hard thing to live up to.
