1990s Girl Groups, Then & Now

The 1990s was a hot decade for pop and R&B girl groups, and years later, those girls are now women--some are even married with children. See what some of the biggest girl groups of the '90s look like today, and learn how they soared, disbanded, and reunited--and maybe starred in a reality show or two along the way. -- By Tiffany Lee

TLC: Superstar R&B/hip-hop trio TLC was a force to be reckoned with in the '90s, with a diamond-selling album, CrazySexyCool, and omnipresent singles like “Waterfalls” and “No Scrubs.” The Grammy-winning group (Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas) hit the highest heights, but struggled with a fair share of problems. T-Boz revealed that she suffered from sickle-cell disease; the volatile Lopes feuded with the group and made headlines for setting fire to her boyfriend’s mansion in 1994; and the group even filed bankruptcy in 1995. Then in 2002, shortly after the girls took a break to pursue solo interests, Lopes was tragically killed in a car crash while shooting a documentary in Honduras. Surviving members Watkins and Thomas later both starred in their own reality shows and continued to sporadically record and perform together; they recently announced plans for a new TLC album, tour, and biopic in 2013. less
