This might be a tough one. Both groups are too cute.

I was young when both came out, but at least I could remember ABC, when the Boys was hittin, I was 2 or somethin'.

I used to love The Boys! They were really cute

ABC....not so much. However, "Iesha" was the jam


Smooches;)

Bobby Brown should have sung "Dial My Heart." It would have fit perfectly on Don't Be Cruel.

ima sound like a real music nerd but the boys were great. they wrote and produced their last 2 motown cds. they wrote crazy and produced the track and played the instruments even if it was all sequenced. they had a lot of talent and outside of the cute pop stuff they had some decent funky material. they had a track called freak of the week that was real funky. its not the pfunk song but i'm sure it was inspired by THE P

My sister and I used to love both of them.

Oh and The Boys done grew up and got fine.

I enjoyed both, but the Boys were clearly the better group.

The Boys.... my niece use to make me play Dial My Heart all day long

The Boys are now known as The Suns Of Light

"Dial My Heart" all day. I still get hooked on that record.

Out of these two songs, "Iesha" is better. Outta these two groups, The Boys are better.

Yes.

"Iesha" is horrid to me, lol. Terrible, terrible song and video.

pictures? photos? please!

The Boys.

ABC were always some busters. I did remember dancing to "Playground" though.

look at my posts above

oh

It's hard to choose. I loved both as a kid. But if I had to, I'd go with the boys. They at least could sing.

ABC vs The Boys?

Apparently you folks forgot about the ABC / Kriss Kross beef.
Jump was practically nothing but an ABC diss record.

The original is obviously better.

The original was better the the NE version.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Damn the cycle continues, huh? Since ABC and NE were J5 clones initially. I guess I can see the point hahaha

Timmy84 said:

Yeah, same melody and everything, changed "Mama, I found that Girl" to "Fellas, there's a Jealous Girl"

LittleBLUECorvette said:

YEAH! Even the beginning, they stole the Jacksons' harmonies. And oddly enough like "Jealous Girl", Jermaine was like Bobby, having just one song to sing lead on though Michael can be clearly heard singing loudly, "I FOUUUUUND THAAAAT GIRRRRRL! "

Why didn't Motown sue?

Timmy84 said:

No, I've always preferred the ABC version. Dave's rap will always be hilarious to me and Boyz II Men sound great on backing vocals. "Jealous Girl" is one of my least favorite NE songs.

I remember the Boys video for Crazy that spoofed all the 80's videos.

It's still kinda funny, actually.
