I cannot believe people are still arguing over this after all these years lol. There are two different versions. The original version does not feature vocals from T-Boz or Left Eye. The version with the Lisa's rap has all 3 members, Kandi, Tiny and Debra. Jeeeeeez.
1:19 I just realized that Debra is singing the "oh yes, son, I'm talking to you" vocals and 1:36 Chilli is pretty much singing the "noooo scruuub" lines by herself. Also, they really don't sound that much alike. Completely different tones!
I'm just now noticing the differences between the tones of Debra & Chilli's voices. Debra at 1:19 mark, her voice sounds a bit softer than Chilli at 1:36. ( Chilli's voice has a bit of a huskier sounds to it when comparing it to Debra's. But with the music playing it bonds the differences together to where it's hard to isolate )
Actually u are incorrect. Kandi and Tiny are singing the background with Rozanda on lead. Proballt better thar way since Kandi and Tiny voices were more familiar with the song. Debra Killing usually just sang background on all the babyface produced cuts. Could have been a contracted label situation with La Face.
I knew of The Supremes using the Andantes to fill out vocals (particularly when Florence Ballard was gone), but I wasn’t aware of Killings until a few years ago.
@@ahleeyahvideos Tionne does sing on the rap version that has Lisa's rap and this sounds like the vocals from that one. You're right that she doesn't sing on the album version and you can tell the difference between the two. Listen closely to 1:58 - 2:00 "a scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me" the voice that is leading the melody is definitely T. On the album version, Chilli and Kandi lead the melody, Debra sings the bottom note (on this version as well), and Tiny sings the top note.
I want to retract my early post, I actually DID NOT get official confirmation from Debra & Leslie the pages were actually fan pages, & were NOT credible. BUT I did ask Carlton Lynn the one who actually recorded the track, & he confirmed T-Boz DOES SING ON NO SCRUBS, both versions. I have the screenshots to prove it. He said she sang the Hook background vocals & that her vocals were stacked with Debra & Chilli, hence why they are so well blended.
He probably mixed the vocals differently for each version because the album version sounds “cleaner” than the video version. The backgrounds, especially where Lisa’s rap was suppose to be sounds very “perfect” and the video version sounds more authentic. Thanks for the info tho!
When I bought this tape when it came out T-boz wasn't on the background vocals according to the liner notes. I do know they rerecorded their masters before the "TLC" album came out.
I definitely hear T-Boz stacked in here, is it just me? She is not credited on the album version liner notes. I know there is more than one version of the vocal out there.
It’s so intriguing to know Xscape & TLC were on the same track.
Not Xscape just Tiny and Kandi
@@BAMOORE94Half of Xscape
@@darrenlockenheart lol not the entire group though
We need the backing vocals on "Unpretty". I love the vocal arrangements on that song!

Thank you for this! Never realized how clearly we can hear Kandi.
Kandi burrass?
@@maskedsingers5776 yeah she's singing background on the song
You’re welcome! Yes, Kandi Burrass is in the background vocals.
@@xandernotharris oh ok I didn’t know
I can’t hear her
The entire 90ies R&B benefited from Killings vocals
Kandi loud as hell lol

@S G Not on those particular parts.
@@anjelheaven umm I can hear T-Boz especially on the “nOoOoO ScUuUuUB”
@@deunknowncivilization Sure, Jan.

We r getting closer n closer to getting Lisa’s rap accapella
I uploaded it already!
Very Interesting to hear the lucious harmonies stripped from the music. Who knew they had all this goin on?
When I younger I use to always think TBoz was the background vocals
She is.
@@Prettiboimico I asked the person who recorded the track & he said T-Boz was there.
T-Boz is not on the song at all. She lip syncs in the video and that's it. Background vocals are done by tiny chilli kandi and Debra
@@sharonyvettewarner7458 Tionne is on the song she confirmed it in Breakfast Club interview when she was promoting her book.
@@sharonyvettewarner7458 She is on the song.
I can hear Tiny 💖
TLC featuring Debra killings on most of their songs. I was shocked to find out that she did most of their background vocals.
me too. I never noticed it because the music would make the vocals blend even more.
Makes sense, Left eye wasn’t a vocalist. Debra was filling in the gap
I knew of The Supremes using the Andantes to fill out vocals (particularly when Florence Ballard was gone), but I wasn’t aware of Killings until a few years ago.
who else heard tboz in the background clearly, love it
Tionne is not on this song. Check the album credits.

@@anjelheaven You’re right!
OnTheTLCTip you should correct that in the description. Thanks
Torrey Lar-Parker did they tell you the reason behind the fact that T-Boz is a member of the group and never recorded that song ?

On the rap version you can actually more better than the studio version so yeah it’s ture

Wrong
@@Learningisfree808 TRUTH T-Boz does sing on the track.
@@The9od she doesn’t on the Fanmail album.

0:12
I think I can here t-boz in the background vocals. Correct me if I am correct?
T-Boz does sing the background vocals & Hook
No kandi and tiny sing the background with Debra killings
Background vocals are Kandi, Tiny, and Debra Killings
@@theteatv2348 the video/rap version is tboz vocals but the radio non rap version is kandi debra and tiny
Actually the four backing harmonies are Chilli, Debra, Kandi and Tiny. T-Boz is not credited on this song.
Water falls next
I can not hear Tiny or Kandi
80% Debra killings
Male voice?❤
Never mind
Who's singing tenor?
Kandi from Xscape
Every man wants a WOMAN! 😂
I hate these beats headphones. I can hear everything 😂
No. No. No.
