With another New Edition reunion on the horizon (Bobby maybe/may not be included!)...I was thinkin back about my favorite NE songs...they had many...and they were great live...I remember Johnny Gill TEARING it up on stage back in '88 on the N.E. HEARTBREAK TOUR with Al B Sure and Bobby Brown (who didnt show up...ya think ol' Whit got it from him??)...that was one of my first concerts and I remember my concert tee was stolen right off my sholders by some big girl and man she ran!

Back to my point...I was diggin up some of my records and decided to pick my favs...I must admit...I'm hits kind of guy myself when it comes to NE...they were ALWAYS on the radio and thier music is a big part of some of my fondest childhood memories!

So lets make this an appreciation thread for boy band to end all boy bands! (well sans Jackson 5 of course!)..

I dig all those Jams also "did you get it yet"?I saw them in 88 as well.Bobby was huge that year&was doing His own thing."Pop Corn Love" was cool for it's time as well.they don't get enough due IMHO.Maurice Starr helped put them on the Map but He said He had to get Bigger&find a White Act&He did with New Kids on the Block.when I see these Boy Groups they are more a reflection of New Editon than the J5 because these Acts are more connected from that 80's foundation.the J5 had a more a Kid/Adult vibe.but they set a standard&had the right Lead-Singer for down the road.New Edtion though was like Saturday Night Live:they sprung off so many Hit Acts from within but never quite cashed in within fully IMHO.NEw Editon though gets props from me.

"Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike, if I like the girl, who cares who you like... - Cool It Now.

I loved these guys back in the day... but, how many times must we allow them 2 reunite.

It was a fun ride, I loved their work... now, sit down, shut up, and enjoy the ho's.

Favorite songs...


***"Lost In Love"(1984)---their best ballad ever!
***"Is This The End"(1983)
***"Jealous Girl"(1983)
***"A Little Bit Of Love (Is All It Takes)"(1985)


I was watching "Krush Groove" the other day and it features New Edition performing "My Secret (Did you get it yet)",remember that one? It brought back so many memories!

People fail 2 realise that after the Jackson 5, New Edition is the greatest R&B group of out time!


I have grew up on their music since I was born, and will b a loya fam 4 my life!
