ok, this is going way back to the mid to late 80's but there was a girl group that was put together as a "female new edition". they had an album, i know this because my sister used to own it but i can't remember their name. does anyone know who i'm talking about? i remember they even had a song where in the beginning they said "new edition, they're so fine".

does anyone have any info on these chicks?

DO U KNOW THE NAME OF THE ALBUM?

We're going to need a bit more info. How many girls? Multi-racial? Which year(s) exactly?

i wish i did but i don't. i bet hardly anyone will remember them.

Was it The Gyrlz? They used to have a song I thought was aight called "If It's Games You're Playing". This was back in the late 80s.

Actually, I think the Gyrlz only had three members so maybe it's not them.

? Remember that group Tracuie Spencer was in before her debut? Girls next door or boys nest door (they may of had a boy members?)

ahh the memories.....I got Bobby Browns "girl next door" in my head now.....

the gyrlz? that sounds familiar! know anything else about them?

sextonseven said:

yes, i think that is the group! i remeber that song and how they used to show it on video music box! wow, i think you're a genious!

hey, I just read on line that they had an album called Love me or leave me alone! i'm going to see if I can find a copy though i'm sure it won't be easy. i also heard that 2 memmbers Terri and monica had another album as a duo.

Was it the Good Girls?

or was it Ex-Girlfriend? wait I think they were a Full Force thing

I totally remember that Lisa Lisa song!

..."your sweetness...is my weakness..."

I have the 12" Maxi-single to that.

BTW - The Good Girls were doing that "sexy Catholic schoolgirl" look WAY before Britney.

dancerella said:

That is a VERY VERY VERY hard album to find anywhere.
I remember "It's All Because of You" and "It's Over" got ots of radio airplay. And I think "Jam, Jam if You Can, Can" had a video.

The one on the left swore she was Vanity. :snark:

Hey, I remember them. I have their second album Just Call Me when they had a more grown up look. They had a single called It Must Be Love that was pretty cool. I heard the lead or the one that resembles Vanity was in some straight to video movie with Treach.

dancerella said:

They did, it was simply titled "Terri & Monica", they didn't have a group name or anything like that. I have the album on cassette somewhere. It came out around 93-94, and was pretty good. One of the singles off it was called "I've Been Waiting".

The cover is a maroonish tinted black and white photo of the two, sorta dressed like flappers.

VANITYSprisonBYTCH said:

Yes, Ex-Girlfriend were part of the Full Force family. I have their first CD with the top 10 R&B hit, "Why Can't You Come Home". They released a second album that flopped, but I never bought that one.

And actual Catholic girls were doing that sexy Catholic schoolgirl look way before The Good Girls. It's been done to death.

The Gyrlz never had a hit. They did indeed release a song called "If It's Games You're Playing". The only reason I know of this song is because Al B. Sure came to Video Soul to debut it. This was Al B. Sure's group and they even sang back up for him on tour. I went to see Al B. Sure concert multiple times back in the day because I was Al B. Sure crazy at the time...The Gyrlz opened the show and were booed like crazy, I actually felt bad for them because they were'nt given a chance. It was all about Al B. Sure and no one wanted to listen to an unknown act. If you can remember pieces of the video I can tell you for sure if it's the Gyrlz. Al was in the video and I remember it like it was yesterday. I'm picking my brain trying to figure out what group labeled themselves as the female New Edition.

i remember the good girls with your sweetness is my weakness and they did a cover of love is like an itching in my heart, by the supremes? they were cute but i don't think their voices were very strong, then again what does that matter these days? hey maybe they should make a comeback!
