too many dont give these ladies credit they were smart and true trendsetters they made cutesy girlish looks, 90s demin gangsta aesthetic, rugged work wear, futurisitc sleek y2k outfits. rip lisa and to many more years of success for t-boz and chilli
There aren’t even words for her level of depth and intricacy. She was a treasure that got stolen from the world. Those three women together were the holy trinity of music, I can only imagine how different things would be today if she was able to finish the journey with them. Left eye forever ❤️
@@alayneoliver1123 the fact is all those 90's groups got used by their company and they got nothing but few years fame. tlc , bsb are some best example of that. They are too naive and can't even save themselves lol. And the op wanted them to save this gen as if this gen need some saving ?? At least this gen brave enough to always speak up against injustice.
38 here. I was just watching a video about 9/11. Jesus, we were kids watching something worse than any horror movie. This song takes me to before that day, when we were truly innocent.
The way things are constantly being remade. Someone like Sabrina Carpenter should just do a cover and maybe that would bring attention to the attention. Yes get the pretty white girl to do.
“Maybe get rid of you, and then I’ll get back to me” really is the strongest lyric. Stop worrying about how others want to change you into what they think is acceptable and just be yourself.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼Absolutely my favorite line of the song , and probably in music generally . A moment when the Ricky Lake type audience stands up and applauds . 👏🏼👏🏼 Like , you GO GIRL . 😇
Nina Ollie They do but I feel like if this was to be released today, people would have a problem with it. There’s been a lot of uplifting songs and song lyrics these last few years but, a lot of people gave them backlash
TLC promoting self acceptance and women's empowerment 20 years before it became "fashionable" to do so, and also using futuristic elements such as a drone-like device in her video. THE BEST R&B GROUP EVER.
not near the same don't even compare womens empowerment in the 90's with womens empowerment in 2020! not the same the same way hiphop in the 90's ain't near the same or same type of people as rappers today!
@@freedom_is_gold6747 thats when it started and its motives were honest.and straightforward. If you want something, go get it. Nowadays it's just women wanting to be handed top positions because they have a vag. Thinking being 'fierce' is some kind of achievement. Most of the ones nowadays are a bunch of little girls playing dress up, they're doing nothing for women.
Lisa doing sign language is the best thing I've ever seen in a music video, they were so big and influential for a reason. My respects qepd lisa forever
i saw TLC last summer for the hot summer night tour2023 in Penticton, BC Canada wow they were amazing and every time it was Liza's time for singing the let the album play it hits hard i cry everytime to this song thank you TLC for the love
I remember listening to this as a bullied ,abused and raging twelve year old girl this song helped me to become the Confident,Strong , Amazing 22 year old women who has learned to love herself
You joking? TLC made a lot of “message” songs like No Scrubs, Waterfalls, et cetera. TLC was actually the best-selling group of the 1990s. (Billboard charts)
Thank you. I was with someone that put me down he said I act like and old woman and he put me down emotionally then he left So I appreciate you saying This
You can just get surgery if you're feeling unpretty. Remember that. They push these cosmetic surgeon on social media now. They're Ecelebs. I bet you follow at least one. Don't lie either.
It's a shame because the industry pushes out people like Cardi, Nicki, Iggy etc that makes girls want to look like them. This song here if people took it in the way they take in those other artists would open a lot of peoples eyes.
Not as big as they should have? Lol TLC have 4 #1 singles (including this one), 4 successful albums, 4 Grammy Awards among a plethora of others etc. How much more did they need to accomplish to be considered "big"?
It is. I went to two high schools and it was taught there. You just have to choose to take it, like Spanish and French. I wanted to take all three and more, but I had other classes to take. What makes you think they're not?
1999 was honestly one the best years for pop music. TLC, Backstreet Boyz, Brian Mcnight, Britney Spears, Mariah, Whitney, Lauryn Hill, Shania Twain, Christina Aguilera, Brandy, JLO, Monica, Ricky Martin etc
T-Boz helped write this song. It was a poem she wrote while in the hospital. After seeing a episode of Ricky Lake where the men were referring to woman as "fat pigs" and other disgusting things. Gave the poem to their producer Dallas to turn into a song. I love this song. I grew up with TLC being my favorite songs to listen to. I loved them. T-boz and her unique low, sultry voice, Left Eye and her adorableness, and Chilli with the ability to look sexy no matter what she wore or did. Way more to them than that obviously. Left Eye was an amazing person. So much more to her than I ever knew. i watched a documentary called "The Last Days of Left Eye" it's tons of self recorded type videos, edited to make a documentary. She had an incredible mind and soul. I highly recommend watching it. It changed my life.
And they called broke men Scrubs, I guess it's OK for them to insult men but they come running to the defense of women cuz of a daytime talk show designed to provoke anger from the audience to get them to watch
Yes! You're correct! I realise now that part of the reason I didn't get into drugs or sleep around was because of songs and videos like Waterfalls. That video gripped me when I was a kid.
honestly i don't think this song got enough credit. It touched bases on on some pretty deep issues that women go through. Especially with what is deemed as beautiful socially more acceptable in society of appearances and why young girls develop eating disorders.
I mean it was a #1 song and it got major props back then. I feel like TLC has been out of the spotlight for some time, so a lot of the new generation doesn't know about them. Still, singers like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga both said that this song and TLC in general inspired them to start singing and performing.
It was also nominated for Song of the Year at the Grammys (but lost to Carlos Santana who tied Michael Jackson's record for Grammy wins in one year). But, yeah, not enough credit compared to their other hits.
This song was released in a time where there wasn’t social media telling everyone that they are “less than” or you need a BBL and lip fillers to look perfect…ahead of their time and very relevant for the current time, TLC is timeless ❤️
Absolutely. They made songs about safe sex, the risk of hiv, loving yourself, and living too fast. These other ladies sing about having sex for money....
I think around this time in 1999 plastic surgery was becoming more common for younger girls. And super skinny models were in. Twenty years later and the trend seems to be returning, sadly.
my mom was a working actor in the 90s and she's in this music video. she's the nurse pulling the curtain at 3:44. we used to laugh about how she spent hours on set that day but was only in the video for 1 second
Oh good. I always worry about peeking behind the curtain, especially with artists I respect. A lot of them are personas that stop at fan interaction, and are not just fake, but plain deplorable behind the scenes. At the very least they treat the people who work with them with respect.
I agree, BOTH of them were SO BEAUTIFUL inside AND out! They're now making beautiful music, collab-ing for us, TOGETHER in the heavens 🎶💖🎶 Thank you both for sharing your talents with us during your short time here on this plain! RIP Lisa & Aaliyah!
I'm a 46 year old father of 2 from Kerala, India. TLC'c 1994 album CRAZY SEXY COOL is still one of my all time favourite albums forever. I was just a 18 year old boy then. I still listen to the album almost every week ❤️🙏
@@simonbaker7558 ofcourse I have !😀 From TLC to Metallica, Backstreet Boys, Depeche Mode, Megadeth, Boyzone, Hammer, Warren G, Notorious BIG,Take That, Enigma,ERA, Opeth, Robbie Williams,Spice Girls, Bon Jovi, Europe,Deff Leppard, Michael Learns to Rock & Bryan Adams/George Michael/Savage Garden - 3 of most favourite singers. The list is never ending.
I 💖 TLC I'm an 90s kid this song Unpretty came out when I was 7 years old Left Eye Died closed to my 10th birthday . I grew up listening to TLC, my mom was an teen mom when she have me & she's an TLC fan , some of my cousins love TLC
@MB Exactly, I'm a guy and even I know women are held to a higher standard of beauty by society than men. Back in 2015, The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart did an excellent segment satirizing the "Dad Bod" trend that was going around: ua-cam.com/video/XRcrHP4xmlg/v-deo.html
@@chloedassler6156 Don't say that. That's why a lot of our struggles gets dismissed because we're perceived as "strong black women", we have our flaws and weaknesses just like every other race. A lot of us can't handle it and go through a lot of mental health issues because of it.
its her opinion why should she get over it, The 90's had the best music , theres very few artist today that are even worth listening to. #BRINGBACKTHE90SMUSIC
@Teveon Gant ok so that is your opinion on what the video means,thats all you had to say,I thought ,maybe TLC stated the meaning in an interview,thats why I asked for a source.
Teveon Gant Lmao hmmm,I don't remember ever saying that but okay 👌 just simply stating that what you had said is your opinion.Most people who get these procedures are usually insecure about themselves, why else would you get it?This is my opinion: This song isn't about embracing a fake body lol 😂 it's about embracing who you NATURALLY are and not allowing these "BEAUTY STANDARDS" or anyone else change you. I mean Chilli did run out of that hospital after seeing that 12 year old who was crying just before she went under the knife.
Their songs are great. Always a message in it. They are sexy without even trying, beautiful even without makeup. Glad to have UA-cam to relive those beautiful days
Deep? Three very attractive girls belting on about what it is like for unpretty girls. Same as that Markle twat talking about women struggling to get jobs. Its smug and phoney
I'm 26 now and this was my favorite song back in the day made me feel better knowing most people have insecurities even the most beautiful looking ones and that I wasn't going through it alone
I love the sign language! Makes this song extra beautiful because it's like they are saying, "We want all people, including the deaf, to HEAR this song."
I'm an 18 year old girl who has low self-esteem and insecure to my apperance,When i first heard this i realized that you must love yourself and don't be afraid to be unique. #TLC💙💙
I wish I had heard this song when I was a teen at 18. I weighed 99 lbs and had a tiny chest. I always felt so insecure. I should have appreciated my body like it was. Everyone should feel good about their bodies.
I wish I had understood at 18 what I do now. People will try to mold you to be what they want you to be, and it's never worth it. You are the only one living in your body, and you are the one who has to like it.. You and Only You.
Yes embrace you but being a teen is hard time in a person's life hopefully as u start to branch out n find your way in life u will see yourself better i think many teen girls have that same issue cause u constantly are around plenty of other young girls that u sit n compare yourself too where as when u hit the real world u won't have as much time to do that hang in there
Perfect by Anna Marie, Beautiful People by Ed Sheeran, This Is Me from The Greatest Showman, the list goes on and on. How about you expand your music taste a bit other than listening to rap.
Did you end up getting any of those biddies? Maybe some lipo now that you're in your late 40s? Treat yourself girl. You don't have to look how you feel.
I know!!! I find myself tearing up because I got bullied for being skinny. I was just into aerobics a lot and the girls on my dance squad had body issues, but took it out on others instead of looking inside to find their own pretty. It took me a while but I found my inner beauty and this sing slaps because it helped me so much❤️
This song helped me so much when it came out. I listen to it every now and then when I’m feeling insecure about myself. It reminds me that I’m alright the way I am. I was devastated when Lisa was killed in that accident. This was one of my favorite groups when I was a teenager. Thank you TLC for reminding me that I don’t need outsiders to tell me that I’m beautiful and that I don’t need no scrubs.
It was insane, how versatile in sound & style this group was. From Hip Hop, to jazz, to pop, to this track here that really shocked a lot of us in incorporating a bit of rock to an R&B sound. TLC had no limits when it came to creativity in music, style, & message. Even with Left Eye's passing they STILL carry on her memory in performances to this day. That's love & loyalty right there, a true girl group of friendship & family.
This song got me through school as I was bullied for my weight but this song helped me accept myself so I thank TLC for showing me that being the size you are is not something to be ashamed of.
Scrubs & Un-pretty were huge hits in 1999’ but they were Always on & off like Waterfalls was 93’ I loved Scrubs the songs they released were timeless hits it reminds me of my 1st pregnancy
I think this song is really important for the young girls of this generation. Dont let social media, or people at your school, make you think you have to look a certain way. Do you and get that shmoney, gurl.
Still bumping in 2024. Whoever reads this, just member that you are important !! Love yourself, work on yourself and youll be just fine . Stay Blessed Y'all
TLC may not have the biggest or best vocals like some other girl groups. But they have one thing that all the other groups don't have: originality, uniqueness, something different. Each one of their voices are unique, their style is unique, their type of music is unique... I'd take one of a kind girls like TLC over any other basic girl groups.
Unique is right. They're like the female version of Outkast, with one more member. Left Eye is like the female version of Andre 3000 (their birthdays happen to be two days apart). Very good, creative mainstream hip hop/R&B, but not overrated.
I am! As man I have to say to EVERY girl... this song is the most important of your life! Listen! Take note! Be yourself! Personality is what attracts us and if it doesn't, then he's not worth worrying about, because he's a shallow A**EHOLE!
This song makes me cry, self-love and self respect is a hard personal journey but an important one, bless every beautiful soul who is listening to this song.
This song is very special to me, it's during a time in my life that I was feeling really horrible & very scared‼️ It was dedicated to me from my daughter when I beat cancer, but the loss of hair, weight loss & overall changes to my body were a little to much for me to take in😢. But when she played TLC "unpretty" & said mom ty for fighting n beating cancer, that's what really matters & you are & will always be my beautiful mother🤗❣️ I always think of her when I hear this song😘....I love you very much my beautiful daughter❣️I fought 3×'s over & have been in Remission for 4 years now‼️💋💖💚
I cried when I read your comment. I'm fighting diabetes, and everything that comes with it. I was very unhappy for a long time, and I started eating. I went from being a slim in shape 22 year old to a big fat broken down 43 year old. This quarrentine forced me to once again find myself and I realized what I was doing. So I made a change!! I'm only on day 2 but I'm not giving up WHATSOEVER!!! YOU'RE AN INSPIRATION!!! I believe God put this comment here so I can read it!! Thank you for your strength and your daughters love and faith!!
So proud to be living in the same world as a woman as strong as you. Mazal Tov on beating it. You should live a long healthy life and see the fruits of your labor and see your daughter happy with her kids ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What makes it even more so for me is that if you pay attention the one is signing in ASL for parts of the video which is really cool for when it came out
TLC was truly ahead of their time with both the lyrics and the visuals of Unpretty. I now see this song as a powerful, personal letter to social media. Rewatching the video after so long moved me to tears. Its message feels even more relevant today, capturing the struggle between self-worth and the pressure of impossible beauty standards pushed by social media. The line “Never insecure until I met you” perfectly reflects the alarming insecurities social media creates. It’s a reminder of how platforms designed for connection often leave us questioning our worth, feeding comparisons and unrealistic standards that didn’t exist before. The second verse, especially “get rid of you and get back to me,” hit me deeply-it mirrors how much better and more connected to self I’ve felt since leaving social media and rediscovering myself. And Chili kicking that guy’s ass at the end? That’s me kicking social media out of my life! 😂 Phenomenal self love song.❤ I deeply miss this era but I am so grateful I got to experience it in real time. 🥹💖
This generation needs this song re-released sooooooo bad 😢...... Can we all just pause to recognize Chilll's extraordinary natural beauty sitting next to that white woman (In the doctors office)!!!!! My God that woman is absolutely stunning!!! 😍
Wow I came across this today and it takes me back to when I didn't understand so much. Today I'm 40 living with body dismorphia, depression and anxiety. This was ahead of its time for sure and is more relevant today than ever 😭 I loved TLC
Yeah. I’m rediscovering them. I’m 38 and this one and “damaged” are hitting home for me. They didn’t really hit me back then. They were just good songs. Now, Im thinking they need to bring these songs back. Wow TLC!
I too tear up every time I hear this song I’ve been struggling with my body weight and trying to fit in with people or do things just to keep them happy but this song always reminds me that I don’t have to do none of these things for people or trying to fit in with them to be happy I’m beautiful just the way I am thank you TLC no group can never replace you guys God bless.
This song had me literally crying tears! I love it so much! I think every girl who thinks badly of themselves should definitely see this. It's a shame that the only generation of good role models like TLC were in the past.
I think Demi is a good role model, she try's to tell people that they're are fine just being their self and who they are, and that you're pretty no matter what and that its on the inside that matters
***** I think you missed the point of the song. She's saying that not every woman is going to be a size 5; it's not saying "it's OK to be fat" it is ok, as their weight has nothing to do with anyone else. But the song is saying not every woman has to conform or try to unrealistically try to be what society thinks they should be.
I’m so glad I loved and still love my natural body. Thanks to girls like tlc, Cassie, Amerie, and Ciara. Natural bodies always win. If someone wants you to change that badly instead of being a healthier and happier you, they don’t love you.
Sadly this song is even *MORE* relevant with all the Instagrams and Tik Toks now. Not only is society even more superficial than before it has normalized the superficiality and turned it into a legit career. Really sad
And to think our generation gave Britney Spears a hard time... when Gen Z hits their 30's how much worse will they be kicking themselves for falling into vanity traps?
So very true! There is so much "fakeness" in the world today, all for the sake of trying to impress everybody around. So much obsession with vanity. At the end of the day the only people out there that are worth changing yourself for are the people who would never ask you to do it because they love you and appreciate you for who you are.
Please release this song it can have a positive effect on todays younger generation whom are so superficial and materialistic. I've never watched a music video with sign language before its amazing ❤
@@adonaiministriesewg8849comparing a female to another female isn’t telling them the truth. Telling someone they need bigger boobs is your opinion, not truth. You and the 6 ppl who agreed with this comment are delusional if you think either of those things are being honest.
It makes your heart sad, how women have to live up to this "standard of beauty" we should all feel beautiful no matter what, but it's easier said than done
ano because loads of artists have sign language in their videos .....Jesus one of the only videos that I have seen who signs ....always a negative comment ...just appreciate how amazing the message is here 🙏
yeah, I thought the same thing! I think we were just really young, and more into the music, than to the whole presentation, and maybe now we have more experience and knowledge.
Can we appreciate the drums, lead guitar and acoustic guitars in this song. The beat so full and feels so live-produced except for some parts of drums. Listening this on full earphones and wow!
The drums are pretty much "50 ways to leave your lover" by Paul Simon. Drumming on the track was played by Steve Gadd. 👌👌👌 One of the best grooves ever written.
As an insecure teen girl I played this over and over in my room full blast. While singing"maybe get rid of you and then I'll be back to me"... God did I feel good singing that bit. Thank you ladies ❤❤❤
Im amazed when Lisa Left Eye uses sign language to interpret the beautiful message of the song.. Such an iconic and clever act.
They were one of the greatest of all time
too many dont give these ladies credit they were smart and true trendsetters they made cutesy girlish looks, 90s demin gangsta aesthetic, rugged work wear, futurisitc sleek y2k outfits. rip lisa and to many more years of success for t-boz and chilli

Nobody cares about their own comforts any more it's all about making others happy.
yea
So, what about the rest of their songs? Most are about superficial bullshit.

It's a shame because the industry pushes out people like Cardi, Nicki, Iggy etc that makes girls want to look like them. This song here if people took it in the way they take in those other artists would open a lot of peoples eyes.
They were the biggest musical act 20 years ago
What? They’re one of the the best selling female groups of all time
They look pretty damn big to me 😂🤣😂🤣
Not as big as they should have? Lol TLC have 4 #1 singles (including this one), 4 successful albums, 4 Grammy Awards among a plethora of others etc. How much more did they need to accomplish to be considered "big"?
Sign language should be taught at public schools
It is in my school
It is. I went to two high schools and it was taught there. You just have to choose to take it, like Spanish and French. I wanted to take all three and more, but I had other classes to take. What makes you think they're not?
@@lonnisplace1459 It was not an option when I was in school. It is an option for my daughter though, she takes it.
@@lw9052 Maybe the schools changed from the time you were in it to now. Idk I was just speaking from my experience
I graduated high school in 2018. I went to 3 high schools and sign language wasn’t an option in any schools.
Every young girl who thinks she isn't enough, based on society's standards of "Pretty" should listen to this song EVERY DAY. LOVE WHO YOU ARE. !!!!!
I'm 33 and have been recently listening to this song often because it makes me feel so good
1999 was honestly one the best years for pop music.
TLC, Backstreet Boyz, Brian Mcnight, Britney Spears, Mariah, Whitney, Lauryn Hill, Shania Twain, Christina Aguilera, Brandy, JLO, Monica, Ricky Martin etc
Don’t forget..... Maya and blackstreet✌🏽👌🏽
Nelly fortudo
Lauryn yes!!
Sunshine M o log yes definitely Mya & Blackstreet ugh I miss that era
Nelly Furtado became famous around year 2001.
T-Boz helped write this song. It was a poem she wrote while in the hospital. After seeing a episode of Ricky Lake where the men were referring to woman as "fat pigs" and other disgusting things. Gave the poem to their producer Dallas to turn into a song. I love this song. I grew up with TLC being my favorite songs to listen to. I loved them. T-boz and her unique low, sultry voice, Left Eye and her adorableness, and Chilli with the ability to look sexy no matter what she wore or did. Way more to them than that obviously. Left Eye was an amazing person. So much more to her than I ever knew. i watched a documentary called "The Last Days of Left Eye" it's tons of self recorded type videos, edited to make a documentary. She had an incredible mind and soul. I highly recommend watching it. It changed my life.
wow thabks for this
The numerology in Last Days will make the hair on your neck stand up straight! RIP Lisa, with love from Philly!
❤❤❤❤
Listening still 2024
And they called broke men Scrubs, I guess it's OK for them to insult men but they come running to the defense of women cuz of a daytime talk show designed to provoke anger from the audience to get them to watch
This song proves tlc is the best female group ever. They breathe real life into their music
2019 ❤️
I truly wish we had more like them. Their message was amazing and so empowering 💜
Yes! You're correct! I realise now that part of the reason I didn't get into drugs or sleep around was because of songs and videos like Waterfalls. That video gripped me when I was a kid.
We need this song today for this generation.. c'mon TLC remake this for 2024.. it saved me in my years.
TLC always been ahead of their time maybe that's the reason they're the most successful girl group off all time
Butiful Brwn1 the surpremes are the most successful girl of all time with 12 number 1 singles tlc is 2nd
daquan stephens nah u forgot Destiny's child
Spice Girls bruh
Butiful Brwn1 fifth harmony hast the most views for a music video and broken other records too
Spice Girls are the best selling.
My daughter needed this song tonight! It helped me at her age! I’m praying it helps her!❤
She's beautiful courageous like her mama ✨️🦋💕💕

DC young fly wife as well RIP
I hope your daughter knows she's a beautiful young lady ❤
honestly i don't think this song got enough credit. It touched bases on on some pretty deep issues that women go through. Especially with what is deemed as beautiful socially more acceptable in society of appearances and why young girls develop eating disorders.
I mean it was a #1 song and it got major props back then. I feel like TLC has been out of the spotlight for some time, so a lot of the new generation doesn't know about them. Still, singers like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga both said that this song and TLC in general inspired them to start singing and performing.
It was also nominated for Song of the Year at the Grammys (but lost to Carlos Santana who tied Michael Jackson's record for Grammy wins in one year). But, yeah, not enough credit compared to their other hits.
dakota barnes It got enough credit when it was out.
dakota barnes I Agree
It's not just girls. Why do you think guys are packed into gyms trying to look the way they are made to believe they need to to not be lonely.
This song was released in a time where there wasn’t social media telling everyone that they are “less than” or you need a BBL and lip fillers to look perfect…ahead of their time and very relevant for the current time, TLC is timeless ❤️
Absolutely. They made songs about safe sex, the risk of hiv, loving yourself, and living too fast. These other ladies sing about having sex for money....
I think around this time in 1999 plastic surgery was becoming more common for younger girls. And super skinny models were in. Twenty years later and the trend seems to be returning, sadly.
@@TheEmaile this the 1... These younger ppl saying the same stuff wasnt being pushed n our faces but it was minus the black empowerment.
@@Shaun.T32 ppll dont even kno wat was on lisa's left eye
There were still movies tv shows magazines promoting it
my mom was a working actor in the 90s and she's in this music video. she's the nurse pulling the curtain at 3:44. we used to laugh about how she spent hours on set that day but was only in the video for 1 second
That's cool as hell
@@davonbrooks228 she said everyone in TLC was super nice to everyone on set and really funny
Oh good. I always worry about peeking behind the curtain, especially with artists I respect. A lot of them are personas that stop at fan interaction, and are not just fake, but plain deplorable behind the scenes. At the very least they treat the people who work with them with respect.
she's so lucky! 🤍
Bless you ❤️
RIP Lisa Left Eye. SO PRETTY.

Totally agree with you
I'm a 46 year old father of 2 from Kerala, India. TLC'c 1994 album CRAZY SEXY COOL is still one of my all time favourite albums forever. I was just a 18 year old boy then. I still listen to the album almost every week ❤️🙏
You have fantastic taste in music.

Dont't feel too bad for us, we are tough, we can handle it 😉
Men and women have to deal with this today. Blame social media.
@MB Exactly, I'm a guy and even I know women are held to a higher standard of beauty by society than men.
Back in 2015, The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart did an excellent segment satirizing the "Dad Bod" trend that was going around:

@@chloedassler6156 Don't say that. That's why a lot of our struggles gets dismissed because we're perceived as "strong black women", we have our flaws and weaknesses just like every other race. A lot of us can't handle it and go through a lot of mental health issues because of it.
This song should be released once more ...the current generation isn't responding and this song goes deep on them❤❤❤❤
When songs were meaningful, sent out raw messages and positivity before it was dumbed down.
Lauren Hendrie music doesn't always have to be so seriously there is still good music get over the 90s ish
Lauren Hendrie tlc is the. rapping group I know that don't cuss like that
BABY GOT BACK -Sir Mix A Lot (1992)
"Pretty hurts" is like this too.
its her opinion why should she get over it, The 90's had the best music , theres very few artist today that are even worth listening to. #BRINGBACKTHE90SMUSIC
Losing Left Eye was such a tragedy, this group was amazing.
I know we all will miss her forever
A lot of women need to hear this, especially now when everyone’s an Instagram model...😔 #powerfullyrics
@Teveon Gant Her point was girls don't need too do what they do on instagram for clout.
@Teveon Gant Source?
@Teveon Gant ok so that is your opinion on what the video means,thats all you had to say,I thought ,maybe TLC stated the meaning in an interview,thats why I asked for a source.
Teveon Gant hmm..yeah.. that's definitely your opinion.
Teveon Gant Lmao hmmm,I don't remember ever saying that but okay 👌 just simply stating that what you had said is your opinion.Most people who get these procedures are usually insecure about themselves, why else would you get it?This is my opinion: This song isn't about embracing a fake body lol 😂 it's about embracing who you NATURALLY are and not allowing these "BEAUTY STANDARDS" or anyone else change you. I mean Chilli did run out of that hospital after seeing that 12 year old who was crying just before she went under the knife.
We need to revive this......many of us are lost
My favorite part of this whole video is Left Eye doing sign language 🙌🏾
I just thought she was doing her moves for the video clip...
good to know it has a meaning
EDIT:
Oh my god I just found out she died in 2002 :O
A beautiful song for body conscious people. That's why I love this song. Big up left eye x
As a deafie, it means EVERYTHING to me.
Me Too!!!
For real to
this song needs to be re-released considering the way today's kids have body image isues
Just what l thought.
right
They recorded a new song for their upcoming record called "Perfect Girl". It should pick up right where this one left off.
+anjelheaven interesting. Will check it out
Linea Inga Hamukwaya It's coming this fall!
it's 2021 and i'm 29 and i barely just realized how deep this song is. and timeless. holy shit tlc.
Their songs are great. Always a message in it. They are sexy without even trying, beautiful even without makeup.
Glad to have UA-cam to relive those beautiful days
Deep? Three very attractive girls belting on about what it is like for unpretty girls. Same as that Markle twat talking about women struggling to get jobs. Its smug and phoney
I'm 26 now and this was my favorite song back in the day made me feel better knowing most people have insecurities even the most beautiful looking ones and that I wasn't going through it alone
What's wrong w you guys? She will go down in history as an icon.. Her voice touches everyone! She goes to that high to low flawlessly!
I love the sign language! Makes this song extra beautiful because it's like they are saying, "We want all people, including the deaf, to HEAR this song."
yeas totally agree! such a powerful message
I'm an 18 year old girl who has low self-esteem and insecure to my apperance,When i first heard this i realized that you must love yourself and don't be afraid to be unique.
#TLC💙💙
You're beautiful! Embrace your youth!!
I wish I had heard this song when I was a teen at 18. I weighed 99 lbs and had a tiny chest. I always felt so insecure. I should have appreciated my body like it was. Everyone should feel good about their bodies.
I wish I had understood at 18 what I do now. People will try to mold you to be what they want you to be, and it's never worth it. You are the only one living in your body, and you are the one who has to like it.. You and Only You.
Yes embrace you but being a teen is hard time in a person's life hopefully as u start to branch out n find your way in life u will see yourself better i think many teen girls have that same issue cause u constantly are around plenty of other young girls that u sit n compare yourself too where as when u hit the real world u won't have as much time to do that hang in there
U r beautiful never let anyone say different
I wish artists would music like this again. I think its really needed.
Go learn how to write/perform an instrument. Obtain a skill, and then you can make your wish come true.
Perfect by Anna Marie, Beautiful People by Ed Sheeran, This Is Me from The Greatest Showman, the list goes on and on. How about you expand your music taste a bit other than listening to rap.
Love Personafied how do you know what she listens to? Get outta here smh
they are, it's the record companies that won't hire them. we are being purposefully denied good music so our vibes will stay low and depressive.
this song and waterfalls by TLC have a very powerful message within the song. thank you for saving millions of life, you all are precious!
90s RnB will forever remain unmatched
"Maybe get rid of you, then get back to me" Best words a woman can tell a man.

I am 44 years old, this song still hits so close to home, heckin' tears...
Heckin? Ugh
I know that you mean! I'm 42 now and listened to this in high school, and it gave me confidence!
Same! My daughter keeps asking “are those happy tears mommy?” Yes. I love this song. I’m gonna make sure she knows this.
Did you end up getting any of those biddies? Maybe some lipo now that you're in your late 40s? Treat yourself girl. You don't have to look how you feel.
I know!!! I find myself tearing up because I got bullied for being skinny. I was just into aerobics a lot and the girls on my dance squad had body issues, but took it out on others instead of looking inside to find their own pretty. It took me a while but I found my inner beauty and this sing slaps because it helped me so much❤️
Lefteye was truly an angel on earth
they had drones in this video, 15 year's ahead of time!!!
I peeped that too!
Well cgi but yah
YESSSS
Haha I was thinking the same thing even though it's special effects, the director was ahead of their time.

Today's society and generation of kids need to listen to this song and watch this video.
+Andres De La O yes it is true

I'm a teenager and I agree with you most songs today just talk about money and sex

+PRINCESSGEMINI 21 grew up listening to this stuff
It's crazy how relatable this song still is even years later.
Such a strong message, and an amazing tune.
These youngin screwin with their faces & skin b4 it SETS it OUTTA HAND!
This song helped me so much when it came out. I listen to it every now and then when I’m feeling insecure about myself. It reminds me that I’m alright the way I am. I was devastated when Lisa was killed in that accident. This was one of my favorite groups when I was a teenager. Thank you TLC for reminding me that I don’t need outsiders to tell me that I’m beautiful and that I don’t need no scrubs.
It was insane, how versatile in sound & style this group was. From Hip Hop, to jazz, to pop, to this track here that really shocked a lot of us in incorporating a bit of rock to an R&B sound. TLC had no limits when it came to creativity in music, style, & message. Even with Left Eye's passing they STILL carry on her memory in performances to this day. That's love & loyalty right there, a true girl group of friendship & family.
They used the Rock/R&B style first with Red Light Special
Thought they broke up after left eye's passing
"At the end of the day I'm just tripping" = self accountability. The liberals controlling media can't have any of that
This song has excellent guitar and opening riff. Very good composition vocals..ECT.
This song got me through school as I was bullied for my weight but this song helped me accept myself so I thank TLC for showing me that being the size you are is not something to be ashamed of.
You have a beautiful body. It fights off illness and keeps you warm in winter. Its stunning!

Imagine how many businesses will go bust if women decided to be comfortable in their own skin...
That would be awesome.
you got a good point there
ehhh... I don’t think they’d go bust. women would still use makeup/beauty products, just for their own enjoyment.
Well, moderation is the code and that will put everybody on a balance of win win.
you are aware that besides the men that desire women, their are also many women out their that capitalize on beauty!
Chilli’s vocals at 3:12 give me chills ain’t nobody in the world that can make me hate TLC ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
When I’m feeling insecure I come back to this song everyday ‘cause it saves my life. I hope we bring back music like this in 2022 ❤️
I'm with you 💯 ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Yes women were given strong role models not strippers no disrespect to working WOMEN its just wouldnt have gone over then
Scrubs & Un-pretty were huge hits in 1999’ but they were Always on & off like Waterfalls was 93’ I loved Scrubs the songs they released were timeless hits it reminds me of my 1st pregnancy
I came to it today this was a childhood favorite
I think this song is really important for the young girls of this generation. Dont let social media, or people at your school, make you think you have to look a certain way. Do you and get that shmoney, gurl.
And education ! ! 📚📐📈🗂💻💭💭💭

TLC may not have the biggest or best vocals like some other girl groups. But they have one thing that all the other groups don't have: originality, uniqueness, something different. Each one of their voices are unique, their style is unique, their type of music is unique... I'd take one of a kind girls like TLC over any other basic girl groups.
You expressed my thoughts exactly.
AMGK 02 Who says they don't have good vocals their just a girl group not fucking Whitney Houston
@@sensitivespirit1118 I said they don't have the biggest or the best vocals, that doesn't mean I said they don't have good vocals
3 beautiful girls as well
Unique is right. They're like the female version of Outkast, with one more member. Left Eye is like the female version of Andre 3000 (their birthdays happen to be two days apart). Very good, creative mainstream hip hop/R&B, but not overrated.
Who's listening in 2020?😃
I am! As man I have to say to EVERY girl... this song is the most important of your life! Listen! Take note! Be yourself! Personality is what attracts us and if it doesn't, then he's not worth worrying about, because he's a shallow A**EHOLE!

This song is very special to me, it's during a time in my life that I was feeling really horrible & very scared‼️ It was dedicated to me from my daughter when I beat cancer, but the loss of hair, weight loss & overall changes to my body were a little to much for me to take in😢. But when she played TLC "unpretty" & said mom ty for fighting n beating cancer, that's what really matters & you are & will always be my beautiful mother🤗❣️ I always think of her when I hear this song😘....I love you very much my beautiful daughter❣️I fought 3×'s over & have been in Remission for 4 years now‼️💋💖💚

You are pretty
I cried when I read your comment. I'm fighting diabetes, and everything that comes with it. I was very unhappy for a long time, and I started eating. I went from being a slim in shape 22 year old to a big fat broken down 43 year old. This quarrentine forced me to once again find myself and I realized what I was doing. So I made a change!! I'm only on day 2 but I'm not giving up WHATSOEVER!!! YOU'RE AN INSPIRATION!!! I believe God put this comment here so I can read it!! Thank you for your strength and your daughters love and faith!!

I feel unpretty everyday this song is not just about BEAUTY it's about the
SOUL...... This is a soul cleansing song
You’re beautiful❤️
What makes it even more so for me is that if you pay attention the one is signing in ASL for parts of the video which is really cool for when it came out
TLC was truly ahead of their time with both the lyrics and the visuals of Unpretty. I now see this song as a powerful, personal letter to social media. Rewatching the video after so long moved me to tears. Its message feels even more relevant today, capturing the struggle between self-worth and the pressure of impossible beauty standards pushed by social media. The line “Never insecure until I met you” perfectly reflects the alarming insecurities social media creates. It’s a reminder of how platforms designed for connection often leave us questioning our worth, feeding comparisons and unrealistic standards that didn’t exist before. The second verse, especially “get rid of you and get back to me,” hit me deeply-it mirrors how much better and more connected to self I’ve felt since leaving social media and rediscovering myself. And Chili kicking that guy’s ass at the end? That’s me kicking social media out of my life! 😂
Phenomenal self love song.❤ I deeply miss this era but I am so grateful I got to experience it in real time. 🥹💖
The music of the 90s carried a positive message that came from the heart, mind, and soul. I'd rather hear this than most other music.

You aren’t alone.
Yeah. I’m rediscovering them. I’m 38 and this one and “damaged” are hitting home for me. They didn’t really hit me back then. They were just good songs. Now, Im thinking they need to bring these songs back. Wow TLC!
Damn this song made me tear up because I've been suffering with body issues since I had my child. I miss music like this.
Tiffany Feurtado your beautifull the way you are hunny one love
i see your profile pic and you look amazing girl
I too tear up every time I hear this song I’ve been struggling with my body weight and trying to fit in with people or do things just to keep them happy but this song always reminds me that I don’t have to do none of these things for people or trying to fit in with them to be happy I’m beautiful just the way I am thank you TLC no group can never replace you guys God bless.
Tiffany Feurtado you’re beautiful never let anyone tell you different
Tiffany Feurtado I feel you, 😢😢 because I do as well
This song had me literally crying tears! I love it so much! I think every girl who thinks badly of themselves should definitely see this. It's a shame that the only generation of good role models like TLC were in the past.
this. i heard the song on the radio today, made me realize how much times have changed..
Kyle Mansell Ikr? I really pity the new generation!
i'm with you on that !
I think Demi is a good role model, she try's to tell people that they're are fine just being their self and who they are, and that you're pretty no matter what and that its on the inside that matters
***** I think you missed the point of the song. She's saying that not every woman is going to be a size 5; it's not saying "it's OK to be fat" it is ok, as their weight has nothing to do with anyone else. But the song is saying not every woman has to conform or try to unrealistically try to be what society thinks they should be.
I’m so glad I loved and still love my natural body. Thanks to girls like tlc, Cassie, Amerie, and Ciara. Natural bodies always win. If someone wants you to change that badly instead of being a healthier and happier you, they don’t love you.
Sadly this song is even *MORE* relevant with all the Instagrams and Tik Toks now. Not only is society even more superficial than before it has normalized the superficiality and turned it into a legit career. Really sad
ua-cam.com/video/QO_m1DulSTk/v-deo.html
And to think our generation gave Britney Spears a hard time... when Gen Z hits their 30's how much worse will they be kicking themselves for falling into vanity traps?
So very true!
There is so much "fakeness" in the world today, all for the sake of trying to impress everybody around. So much obsession with vanity. At the end of the day the only people out there that are worth changing yourself for are the people who would never ask you to do it because they love you and appreciate you for who you are.
yuh
Couldn’t agree more!
Left eye's relativity to the song is superb. Sign language. That lady was exceptional. Brilliant. Pure intelligence.
The message of this song will always be relevant.
Please release this song it can have a positive effect on todays younger generation whom are so superficial and materialistic. I've never watched a music video with sign language before its amazing ❤

Nathan Illuminati FR! 😂😭😂😭
yeah, I thought the same thing! I think we were just really young, and more into the music, than to the whole presentation, and maybe now we have more experience and knowledge.
Can we appreciate the drums, lead guitar and acoustic guitars in this song. The beat so full and feels so live-produced except for some parts of drums. Listening this on full earphones and wow!
Yes please.
The drums are pretty much "50 ways to leave your lover" by Paul Simon. Drumming on the track was played by Steve Gadd. 👌👌👌 One of the best grooves ever written.
Was 10 years old when this song dropped.
Such a positive message for kids and teenagers back then.
So glad I grew up in the 90s/Early2000s
Very positive message
TLC was the actual definition of human beings. Today's generation needs this fix.
As an insecure teen girl I played this over and over in my room full blast. While singing"maybe get rid of you and then I'll be back to me"... God did I feel good singing that bit. Thank you ladies ❤❤❤
