Blackpink sing TLC's 'No Scrubs' on 'Carpool Karaoke'
The K-pop group are big TLC and Spice Girls fans.
South Korean stars Blackpink say American girl group, TLC, inspired their music when they first started out.
The 'Pink Venom' hitmakers made the remarks during their appearance on James Corden's 'Carpool Karaoke'.
Blackpink made their debut in 2016 and went on to become one of the biggest girl groups in the world. The group is made up of four members - Jisoo, Lisa, Rosé, and Jennie.
James revealed that they are the most streamed female group on Spotify with more than eight-billion streams and they have the most subscribed artist channel on YouTube globally.
Blackpink told the host that their sound was influenced by various artists, including TLC.
"They had the vocals, they had the rap, they had a bit of hip hop," Jennie said. They then joined James in singing TLC's 1999 hit song, 'No Scrubs'.
They are also big Spice Girls fans. "Since I was young, I used to listen to the radio a lot and their song came out and I was vibing with them," Lisa said.
Jennie added: "And we really liked how they had their own individual characters. That was something that we were aiming for and it was such an iconic girl group in history that we grew up listening to."
Blackpink sing along to 'Wannabe' by Spice Girls. They also belted out some of their own songs, including 'How You Like That' and 'DDU-DU DDU-DU'.
