D@mn I just realized...

i dont think they were a knockoff, i think total had more of a "real" edge to them. kind of like mary j blige at the beginning of her career.

that being said, i love both groups but total >>> tlc imo

 

[king hassan]

Neither group could actually sing that good

truth.com. I was listent ot "Cant you See" the other day, they had some winey voices

 

[mrjun18]

total had some cool singles here and there, but lets be real..... them hoes could not sing a lick. tlc wasn't good vocally either.

i will say though that they did have different styles. tlc was a little more funkier than total. total was kinda laid compared to tlc.

swv >>> tlc

xscape >>> total

Co-sign that homie, they got by on beats alone.

basically. bad boy producers, timbo, raphael saadiq etc. really helped them hide their weak voices behind the production.

similar to like what jam and lewis did for janet....(even though i love janet and her music).

 

[Mr. R&B]

I disagree.

T-Boz and Pam could sing a lick and then some. Nowhere near the level SWV was/is on, but they could sing.

Their voices were mediocre homie...... Xscape, S Dub and Brownstone were the best female vocal groups of the 90's era.

Again, I'm not talking about who was the best. I'm simply stating that they could sing a lick and more. It's not a comparison thing.

I don't know, I was a fan of both TLC and Total.
It was hard for me to pick one female group you had TLC, Total, SWV, EN Vogue, Changing Faces, Brownstone, Xscape and Kut Klose.
I had favorite songs from all those groups, that was the good old days when u had soundtrack to your summer.

By the way, did anybody know that JaKima aka Kima's sister is Vita.
U remember Vita from Murder Inc., that's her sister

So was I....I was a fan of all them groups... they all had different vocal abilities, but then they also all had good memorable songs that bring back great memories.

Those were the days....
