Product Description
"Dreams are hopeless aspirations, inhopes of coming true, believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you."-- "Waterfalls" Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas came together in Atlanta, Georgia, in the early 1990s to form TLC, a group that blended hip-hop, dance, and R&B music so successfully that it went on to be one of the bestselling female groups of all time. This is the story of how Lisa Lopes, the self-proclaimed "crazy" member of TLC, rose above her difficult childhood to attain superstardom. With her funky raps and her vivacious personality, Lisa pursued her dreams and became known as the most energetic member of TLC, who went on to pave the way for many female groups that followed. |

Supernova 
This book was good. However as some one mentioned the author did make some mistakes. She left out two of Lisa's guest appearances in the back of the book. 1997 Nothing to Lose Soundtrack - "Not Tonight(remix)"- Angie Martinez, Lil' Kim, Da Brat, Left Eye and Missy Elliot. I don't know how you miss that record since it was such a hit. Not only that she missed another guest song from 1997 off of Will Smith's cd "Big Willie Style". The fifteenth song was titled "Big Willie Style" and it featured Left Eye. I was very surprised that the author missed these important songs. I mean they were major songs that Left Eye did , I don't know how she missed them while doing her research which leaves me to believe that she is not a Hip-Hop & R+B fan, cuz I'm sure a lot of people know about these songs.

Not So Good 
I would stay away from this book. This book is very inaccurate, and it is poorly written. "Everybody knows that Lisa Lopes moved to Atlanta by herself, and that she met T-boz through Rico Wade not some nightclub. If you want to know the real story about Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes get the VH1 Behind The Music "TLC" and the Left Eye Tribute in S2S magazine.

In loving memory of a supernova 
I ordered two books recently, one being Aaliyah: an R&B princess in words and pictures and the other Lisa Lopes: The life of a supernova. I have to say that the latter surpasses the first. While Aaliyah's biography by Kelly Kenyatta was somewhat childish and too fairy-tale-like, Lisa's, on the other hand, is a superb and brilliant tribute to the talented artist and beautiful person she was. Unlike Kelly Kenyatta, who seems to pretend that Aaliyah was absolutely perfect, Nancy Krulik does not try to hide Lisa's weaknesses from the reader. We all knew she made several mistakes in her life, like burning down her boyfriend's mansion, and that she had drinking problems. But all this didn't make her a less good and caring person. In spite of her crazy side, feuds with the other TLC members and all, we truely feel that Lisa was searching for inner peace. Sadly, before she passed away, she seemed to had found it.
RIP, Left Eye.

Waste of time 
This book is a dissappointment and not even worth the [money]. Most of the information in the book is very INACCURATE and does Left Eye's fans a disservice. Instead of a honest approach to it's subject, this book comes across as a lazy analysis and tool for expoitation of a celebrity who died too soon. I reccommend readers SKIP THIS BOOK!!
