Gerald Levert died. So they couldn't really continue since it was Gerald who formed that group.

A supergroup can't come from former members of a current (or former) group. A supergroup is member from different groups.

I'm pretty sire if Mike, Jermaine and Jackie former a group, it wouldn't be a super group. Now if Mike, Donny Osmond and Foster Sylvers formed a group circa 1973 and called if "Yungfellaz" that would be a supergroup.

Yeah but at the same time if MJ, Foster and Donny had gotten together, it'd been hard to realize who was who on the record. lol

Ralph's voice is sh*t these days (check his most recent solo album). Bobby sounds even worse. Ain't nothing so super about this group. I guess that Bad Boy contract ain't all that for NE.

Why would Johnny want to sing with these guys? Bobby is a mess, his vocals not what they used to be and I never though Ralph could sing as a child or an adult. JOhnny can't get a deal on his own or is he not interested in recording solo?

I agree.Plus,Bobby is totally unreliable and has alot of "issues".If Johnny was smart,he would beg L.A. Reid for a solo deal.

And wasn't Tank supposed to be in that group that was to feature, Ginuewine,and Tyrese? But that didn't happen because of problems with their labels?

Johhny Gill does not need to be a part of anyone's supergroup, trio, or ensemble. The man can hold his own by himself and besides, why is he singing with these two?

I give the group one LP and that's it. Bobby Brown and Johnny Gill together will not work!

Actually, he does. For all his great vocal ability, Gill is pretty non-charismatic and some would even say boring. No personality. JG's better off in a group setting to hide all that than he is as a solo artist. Think about it, he joined NE AFTER he was a solo artist.

When it comes to supergroups,
I like the Avengers.
Thor is badass, IronMan is cool & the Scarlet Witch is hot.

Ignore this post.

Nah, I disagree. He was a little too young pre-N.E., but I think he was a fine solo artist afterwards. His first two post-N.E. singles ("Rub You the Right Way" and "My, My, My") oozed charisma IMO. In fact, despite Bobby's brief superstar status from Don't Be Cruel, Johnny has been the most consistently successful of all of the N.E. splinter acts (and that's excluding his success in LSG). When he was in the top 20 with "Let's Get the Mood Right" (1996) and "It's Your Body" (1997), the other N.E. members' hits had already been dried up for years.

No, BBD was more successful than JG. Easily. They had image. JG had a bad S-Curl and "My, My, My" and that's really it. For hardcore fans, yeah, he may have been "something" to them, but he's really not shined since NE. JG just doesn't have that "It" factor.

They were more successful than Johnny for one album (and not by much), but that faded fast. That's why I said "consistently successful." BBD started out fast in 1990, but they were done as hit-makers 3 years later. OTOH, Johnny has 3 top-10 albums.

Consistent as in putting out more material? Then yes. But successful as far as "blowuptuating" beyond what BBD did? Then no.

shrug Poison is 3x platinum while Johnny Gill (1990) is only 2x platinum because they were a bigger crossover success. On the R&B side, Johnny's singles did better: BBD had 2 #1's, a #3, and a #4 from that album, but JG had 3 #1's and a #2.
