Additional Groups Before We Chose RD - TLC

TLC
TLC, a well known RnB group from the 90's, are an artist that have songs we potentially thought we could use.  Consisting of three girls, TLC have a range of different tempo songs, altering from slow paced emotional songs, to more up beat songs such as 'No Scrubs'.  Again, and similarly to Mis Teeq, the group are presented on screen as being very close friends but they are also sold as individuals who each have different personalities.  There are clear examples were each individual artist is on screen alone, singing or rapping specific lyrics.  This suggests that there is more to the group than just friends singing together, but also conveys the fact that they are normal girls looking to inspire and relate to their target audience.  Due to this, we thought TLC would be great to make a music video for as we believed the group ticked all the boxes that are needed to produce a successful artist.

Problems

The main problem that we came across with using TLC as an artist for our video was the fact that they are an already signed group, and very well known.  This meant that rather than just asking for permission like we would have had to do for Thicke, we would have had to get in touch with each band member individually to assure that they were okay with us using their songs.  Due to the long process that this would have been, we decided to keep looking for an artist that is less famous.
