Ask Bobby, Johnny and Ralph about that.

LOVE New Edition. Although we all know New Edition be throwing down on all the hit singles, I am a really big fan of their lesser-known songs like "Once in a Lifetime Groove," "Helplessly in Love" and "Maryann," (which is kind of corny, I know, but endearing in its simplicity).

New Edition probably more than any other group be it Pop, Rock , R&B, hip-hop etc has done the unthinkable when it comes to "staying power"constantly bringing it with every release from Candy Girl to One Love these 6 guys have stood the test of time and there have been many tests.New Edition and L.L Cool J. are only a few of the 80's acts still doing it and doing it well.No group Not the Beatles not the Eagles not the Temptations not even the Jackson 5 whom they were often compared have had all their members have number 1 hits . U think Ringo Starr has a number 1 song? Name me another group where every1 in the Group had a smash or 2 or 3 ? U can't can u . Bobby Brown with Don't be Cruel Ralph Tresvant Sensativity Johnny Gill My My My and BBD 1 of my all time faves that made it possible 4 a TLC ,Jodeci, Boys II Men etc damn near all of 90's R&B owes alot 2 New Edition so big ups 2 N.E. the Original Boy Band and No it aint New KIDS ON THEIR JOCK. Sir NA$$TEE aka Hiz Royal Nassteeness. Keep'n it Kinky 4 2010

Bobby Brown is so ugly. His face depresses me. I mean dayum...why he gotta look like that and then mug for the camera. I mean he wasn't always ugly...much. Drugs are a terrible thang.

I will worship this thread too

sirnasstee said:

well it's not too hard to "bring it" every time out when none of the members actually do anything for 10-year stretches at a time. ya know?

Aw shit now this is my kinda thread!! Funny enough I listened to All for love and NE Heartbreak today. Both are great albums. Love me some NE!! I wish they would release a new album.

errant said:

I beg to differ. In most (not all) cases when there is a stretch between albums causes many artists to fall off because time has passed and musical times have changed. When NE came back with Home Again it was a really strong album and it was almost like they never went away.

As the official New Edition Go to of this whole forum I will say I LOOOVE THEM!!!

Back in '83,I wore out their first album! Remember this song?

NE and B. Brown from the 1989 Soul Train Awards

They used to have the video for "She Gives Me A Bang" on youtube but I see they took it off :confused:

I like New Edition. I remember when they first became popular on the music scene back in the 80's. They looked so young and innocent. Now they're grown men. How time does fly!

Love New Edition... loved Bobby Brown when he first went solo (it's good, it's good, it's good to go solo), love all of them when they first had their solo or trio projects.

It's quite funny but when I was a little kid, I thought Ralph Tresvant was the most beautiful boy on the freaking planet. Every time I watched "Candy Girl" or "Cool it now" I'd look away because he was just too cute. But when I watch those old videos I'm like Yeah, I still think he was a cute kid but certainly not like I did when I was like 5 years old.

Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike

I will say this....


Candy Girl is one of the best pop songs ever!!!!

DesireeNevermind said:

If I love the girl, who cares who you like (from their song "Cool It Now").

My all-time favorite New Edition song is "Delicious". I love that song!



I adore this song! So catchy and cute (but then again, all of their songs are catchy and cute).

I had a bit of a crushy-crush on Johnny Gill back in the day. He's a cutie.

I love the first two albums. I had completely forgotten about "Count Me Out" which must have been on the third album. I wonder what else was on that third album. After that, I didn't care for them at all.
