Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes (birth name Lisa Nicole Lopes) (May 27, 1971 – April 25, 2002), was an American rapper, singer, songwriter, actress of Cape Verdean descent, and member of the popular R&B and hip hop group TLC. In addition to hit songs like "Waterfalls" with TLC, Lopes also did some solo performing. She was considered by some fans as the creative talent behind TLC and contributed her own self-written raps to many of TLC's popular singles, including "Waterfalls" and "No Scrubs". Lopes was also a self-taught keyboardist and, by way of a Beethoven piano piece, displayed those talents during her solo spot on TLC's headlining concert performances (featured in a pay-per-view broadcast of TLC's FanMail Tour in the spring of 2000). She was known for wearing a pair of glasses with a condom in place of the left eye lens, which was one of the ways the group promoted safe sex.

Second Nature TLC began life as a femalle trio called Second Nature. The group evolved into TLC - the letters of the band made up of the first initials of the three members - Tionne, Lisa and Crystal . Things didn't work out with Crystal, and TLC's manager Perri "Pebbles" Reid brought in her back up dancer, Rozonda Thomas as a third member of the group. To keep the "initial" theme of the band's name, Rozonda needed a name starting with C, so she took on the nickname Chilli. Fellow bandmate Tionne Watkins became T-Boz, while Lisa renamed herself Left Eye, as she had once been told she had beautiful eyes, "particularly the left one."^{[citation needed]} Left Eye celebrated her nickname by wearing glasses with a condom over her left eye (also a promotion for safe sex), later evolving to a black stripe under the eye.

Personal Life

Lopes was of Cape Verdean descent. Lopes was often vocal about her personal life and difficult past. She readily admitted she had come from an abusive, alcoholic background and suffered with alcohol problems herself. These problems became headline news in 1994, when she set fire to her fiance Andre Rison's mansion and burned it to the ground. She claimed that she was only trying to burn Andre's new tennis shoes as revenge for his infidelity, and the fire got out of control. However, she was unremorseful for the incident and described the mansion as a "House of Evil." Rison, a football player for the Atlanta Falcons, was physically abusive to Lisa and had been charged with assaulting her the previous year. At the time of her arrest, she was covered in bruises from being beaten by Rison. Lopes, who was sentenced to 5 years probation and therapy at a halfway house, never was able to shake that incident from her reputation. Lopes always maintained good humour about the incident, asking during a concert "Anyone got a light? Anyone got a house?" Along with her TLC band mates, Lopes filed for bankruptcy that same year claiming poor royalties and an outstanding debt owed to Perri "Pebbles" Reid after she sued the group for breach of contract. Andre Previn Rison (born March 18, 1967 in Flint, Michigan) is a former American football wide receiver who played professionally for the National Football Leagues Indianapolis Colts, Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, and the Canadian Football Leagues Toronto Argonauts. ...

Lopes frequently disagreed with those around her and found herself in conflicts with the people she worked with, including the other members of TLC. During the recording of Fanmail, Lopes was quoted as saying "I've graduated from this era. I cannot stand 100 percent behind this TLC project and the music that is supposed to represent me." She also issued a challenge to Tionne and Rozonda to release solo albums and let the public decide who was the greatest member of TLC: "I challenge Tionne 'Player' Watkins (T-Boz) and Rozonda 'Hater' Thomas (Chilli) to an album entitled "The Challenge"... a 3-CD set that contains three solo albums. Each [album]... will be due to the record label by October 1, 2000... I also challenge Dallas 'The Manipulator' Austin to produce all of the material and do it at a fraction of his normal rate. As I think about it, I'm sure LaFace would not mind throwing in a $1.5 million dollar prize for the winner." Dallas Austin (born December 29, 1970 in Columbus, Georgia) is a Grammy-winning American songwriter, record producer, guitarist, and keyboardist. ... USD redirects here. ...

T-Boz and Chilli declined to take up the "Challenge", though Lopes always maintained she thought it was a great idea. Things were heated between the girls for some time, with T-Boz and Chilli also speaking out against Lopes, calling her "selfish," "abusive" and "evil." But ultimately, the friendship and sisterly bonds between the three could not be broken, and they were able to mend their relationship both in and out of the group.^{[citation needed]} They reunited for Fanmail, and even went on tour.

Solo career

After Fanmail (1999), Lopes began to expand her solo career. She became a featured rapper on several singles by other musicians, including former Spice Girl Melanie C's "Never Be the Same Again", which went to #1 in 35 countries, including the UK. They performed the song live on "Top of the Pops" the week it went #1. The song was co-written and produced by Rhett Lawrence. She was also featured on the first single from Donell Jones' second album, entitled "U Know What's Up", sang "Space Cowboy" with *NSYNC, a song from their 2000 album No Strings Attached and was featured on "Gimme Some" by Toni Braxton from her The Heat album published in 2000.

Lopes was also the host of the short-lived MTV series, The Cut, a precursor to American Idol in which a handful of would-be pop stars, rappers, and rock bands competed against each other and were judged. The show's final winner, which ended up being a male-female rap duo, was promised a record deal and funding to produce a music video, which would then enter MTV's heavy rotation. A then-unknown Anastacia finished in third place, but so impressed Lopes and the show's three judges, that she scored herself a record deal anyway. A year before her death, Lisa Lopes appeared on a singer's addition of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire along with Joey McIntyre, Tyrese, Nick Lachey and Lee Ann Wolmack. From her winnings she changed her charitable donation from $125,000 to $32,000. This article is about the original U.S. music television channel. ...

Lopes began expanding her career by creating "Left Eye Productions" and discovering new talent. She helped create the R&B trio Blaque and helped them secure a record deal with Columbia Records.

Lopes spent much of her free time after the conclusion of TLC's first headline tour behind Fanmail recording her first solo album, Supernova. Amongst the album's 12 tracks was a posthumous duet with Tupac Shakur that was assembled from the large cache of unreleased recordings done prior to his murder in 1996. The unreleased song "Left Pimpin" was sampled for the song "Quickie", which is featured on TLC's fourth album, 3D. Initially scheduled for release on a date to coincide with the 10th anniversary of her father's passing, Supernova was then delayed for two months before her American label chose to shelve the project. The album was eventually released outside of the United States, and hardcore American TLC fans caused a demand for import copies of the album from the UK and Japan. After numerous talks with Death Row Records CEO, Suge Knight, Lopes severed her solo deal with Arista Records (she remained contracted with the label as a member of TLC) and signed with Tha Row Records (The short lived new name for Death Row Records), intending to record a second solo album under the pseudonym N.I.N.A (New Identity Not Applicable). N.I.N.A was to include several songs recorded by and with Ray J^[1]. The album Supernova features a song titled 'A New Star Is Born' is dedicated to her late father, and many more extremely personal tracks including one about her relationship with Andre.
