Vh1 Rock Docs: Last Days of Left Eye

[Still BLUTANG]

i watched it and was bothered. I just think Lisa was into some things that were not helping her (mentally, spiritually). that girl needed HELP. poor soul.

This sounds very interesting. Now I'm gonna have to go home and find out when it's coming on again and Tivo it. Not like VH1 won't replay it 4 trillion more times anyway.

i caught this Saturday night. i grew up with TLC in constant rotation in my tape deck lol...

Lisa had issues. point blank. she had a rough childhood, rough relationship, i think she was in search of something she was never going to find...i was sad watching it because she seemed so lost. it was kinda like watching an episode of "intervention" except you know how it ends...

I too, grew up on TLC so when she died I took it very hard...I played all over her CDs over and over in my dorm...

I watched the special on Saturday and was left thinking it was so freaky...How she "knew" it was going to happen and the little boy she hit days before with the last name; Lopez.

It was creepy and sad.

I was like 'huh?' at that point...I mean Lopez IS a very common Spanish surname and she was in Honduras, so that I was like, maybe it was a coincidence.

Though I did sit and think about her comment regarding the spirit accidentally killing the boy instead of her....my mom raised me with those beliefs of "La Muerte" (Death), always being near us and just waiting for our time; I think alot of her perceptions of death were influenced by the Hondurans she met, that's a very Indigenous-Catholic notion of death, thought it was interesting

I caught like the last 30 mintues, but I agree with you. All the while they keep saying how she felt that a "spirit" was chasing her, I kept saying to myself "girl, rebuke that thing in the name of Jesus!". But anyway......

I did think it was interesting though. I never knew that her album (Supernova) got dropped. I never knew she made a video either.

EXACTLY!!!

I would have been trying to shake that spirit off, not trying to figure out what it meant. And I damn sure wouldn't have any haunted shoes in my hut. That whole documentary was weird.

It was released overseas, but never saw the light of day in the States. I think the record company thought it wasn't good enough.

yes this whole thing did stike me as odd, especially knowing how it ends. I've always had this "thing" with putting things away in my time-capsule or making a point to put certain things away in a safe place to look back on years from now. This film, struck up a passion in me tostart a daily video diary . . . I think I may start this evening . . ..

The videos looked cheesy. It looked like a subpar TLC mixed with Blaque.

Some people have even been entertaining the idea that her death was staged. True, there were pictures of that horrible crash and, seemingly, video footage of her "final" moments. However, the doc also showed that this chick did go "missing" and staged a nationwide "manhunt" of sorts. Additionally, I'll still say that I was shocked that she was the only fatality of what appeared to be an awful crash. I know that it happens everyday, but this chick does have a wacky history.

And then, now that I remember, I recall the so-called morgue photos of her and I don't remember her having that on in the SUV. I'll have to watch the ending of the doc again. Maybe they put some clothes her on for purposes of integrity? Hmm....

Let's just say that I wouldn't be surprised if she is hanging out in the jungle right now.... *shrugs*

[jitterbug13]

Do you think she'll be hanging out in the jungle with Tupac and Elvis?

[MzJ25]

I was checking on VH1 last night to see when this might come on again and it didn't look like it was coming on anytime soon. I really wanted to see it too.

Speaking of the jungle, the scene where she and her (at the time ) boyfriend were playing Tarzan and Jane made me chuckle.
