Black Music Honors this set was hot, guys really can sing... ya’ll need to being music back to this... wow...

Awesome!@@@, Love it !!!!

I can't forget it lol I'm an 80's baby. I love 80's and 90's music.

His Fame was equivalent to Prince and Michael Jackson in 88-89.

Earth Boy Sun And Rain. We got to be “DJ’s” at school when I was in the 8th grade (1984) and I played Jealous Girl on the PA system. The 80’s were awesome and I was the biggest New Edition, BBD, Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant and Johnny Gill fan 🤗.

Just the younger people.

Who doesn't?🙄🤐😑🤔

That right there!! 👏👏👏

That means alot. I'm so glad they didn't wait until it was too late.

And..

Lenette Trapp that’s right ❤️🔥🙌🏾

Absolutely!

Yes! and they all look sooooo good!!😊!

I totally agree! Ricky’s voice was on a different level. He should have gotten more accolades

He really is underrated. He has a nice voice.

Most definitely!!! He should have song lead on a lot their songs. 💯

@@TheeMichellesMind ABSOLUTELY

Lol. ALRIGHT NOW. Bobby saying to himself," they're good but I'm BETTER. Let me get up there and show them how its really done." Those are my songs. LOL. Yeah Bobby, turn that place out. You know you want to. FACTS

😂😂😭

🤣🤣🤣

After watching that verzuz...you sure about that? 😂 I got love for Bobby, tho! He’s lived a hard life!

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO I swear ❤️❤️❤️

Johnson Johnson yesss always overlooked

Baaad♥️

Nope. He’s always kept low key and stayed humbled.

pickzkickz Oohh you betta watch your self now. You bringing back 8th grade memories. Watching New Edition videos. Doing their dance moves on the play ground. Arguing on which member liked who (Ralph was my man) Good times 🤗

@@TMYPiscesSunandMoonRising5548 it's ok to still use that word. Be proud of your generation

YUP!

Bobby Brown was my first concert in '93 and I still love him!

Don't NOTHING Get Old But Clothes😜😜😜😜😜

@sexy Scorpio that's right

@@JadaCole8 thank you ...some people don't make it to 50

Facts 🔥

fade2black1982 Ricky low key been the nicest in the group.!!! Arranged damn near all the music and wrote as well.. he just like to get high🤘🏾

@@kvngwoo3293 those times behind him now,Those Pipes Are Clear PotNa!

He has no choice hes all Michael bivins an ronnie devoe has left cause dem niqqas cant sing a lick an Bobby didnt look to happy about them singing his hits again cause he really low key still dont really fuck with Michael

Yes he does!

Yes he does & I felt like he was always under rated as a singer.

True , that's between him and his god 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Yes Bobby and New Edition are a great group forever

His story is not over..

That's what's up because what don't kill you make you stronger

He ruined Whitney Houston ... blood sacrifices

Agreed!!! I’ve always thought he was an underrated singer.

YEP☺💗

D L Amen speak on it!!!!!

Well said!!!

Legends🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@Authencia girl not any version of D.c

Stevie Critique Newby he didn’t have the look for lead

@@Mindbodysoultv01 Ricky Bell the best singer in the group in my opinion

Stevie Critique Newby he sounds good.. have you ever heard all of them in person

@@Mindbodysoultv01 Yes

Facts

You can’t be the king of anything with just 2 years

King? But that's only 1 year 🤣

@@antonia2054 Ok, it was not a long run, but impact doesn't have to be. You do realize the album went Diamond, between 10-12 million in sales. It's ranked 82 on Billboard's ALL-TIME greatest album list. If you took the top 5 R&B singers at the time and combined their sales they didn't come close to Bobby Brown. He had the #1 selling album in 1989, New Kids on the Block was second. He sold 50 million records in his career as a solo artist. A king's run doesn't have to be long, but for that moment he was indeed the King of R&B.

@@tedwilliams185 don’t be cruel went diamond, that’s higher than platinum

@@akumulight I completely understand what Diamond is, but you still can’t be the kind of anything for only a year.

What an honor🎶🎼🎤

jasmine hill right I miss my best friend she gone on to glory was there since day 1 fr freal must be nice

It's crazy because I literally watched them grow up through every music venue from the box video music box to bet mtv and various other music networks even through the magazine word up source so many to name

Yeah instead of some random performer, who may or may not know the words. They know the essence of him through and through.

Chameka Davis 😢❤️🙏🏾

James Brown!!!

David Ruffin...

"Rick James" - BITCH

@@taritataylor2204 🤣

@@drewali7 That's the first name I thought of when read the comment too. Poppa don't take no mess!

And Bobby is the youngest of all the members

They are timeless...40 years in and counting! God bless these talented brothers!

And Bobby was 50 at that time, the youngest of all the guys😊

Yeah they're truly his guys and have his back.

People still love Bobby Brown, they want Bobby, with them, get paid more money for six members, he's has a little medical issue but God will pull him through

@@bessiejones.831m

I totally agree Rickey holding his own ❤

Agree!

Absolutely! Been a huge Bobby fan all my life! Along with NE, BBD and Johnny Gill and Ralph solos as well. Back to the late 80s and early 90s. Best time to be alive in the music world! This video was great to witness. Love it

🌟⭐️🌟TRUE THAT!!!! LET THAT BECOME A PRECEDENT......." WHILE THEY ARE WITH US"!!! KEEP UP THE LOVE AND GREAT WORK! P.S. THE 70'S WERE BETTER/FREER/ HEALTHIER/ UNITED/ FUN!!!! IN MY OPINION!

I agree!! He deserves it

Me and my brother were always bob guys so this was great to see .. forget the fame for a moment these are his guys from the beginning they stuck it out thru think and thin this has to be a great compliment to him

Not many people true to friendship these days

You're all the way right dear! Real Grown Man business!

Love they was on tour together in 2018

True friends💯

That's brotherhood

They are truly real brothers at heart. They love Bobby thru it all.

Sure did!

Definitely!

Yes they did

They didn't need the ladies on stage

And your ears are clogged!

You know 50 is the new 30. I'm speaking as someone who just turned "30", lol. They killed it.

50 is still young, I used to think 40 was old until I got here. I still feel young & full of life & energy.

Props also need to go to the background singers for their part in making it sound AMAZING. I'm an old school NE/Bobby/BBD fan from back in the day, too, and we all know the Michael Bivins isn't a strong singer and that Ronnie Devoe couldn't handle the backgrounds by himself.

50 years old and still got it. I love it !

HES A PIECE OF SHIT!

It's true and I like the way they honored him that's true friendship

Plz. They voted him out of the group! How loyal is that?!

@@chriscooks5437 actually Bobby wanted out of the group cause he wanted to do his own thing..now that's in their own words. New Edition Documentary. I think they know more about the situation then u do. Besides they were all young wit the big head an all they shit B Brown they still was down wit him never talk shit about him to the public never dissed him on a album like these fake ass rappers do when they cant get along with there Child hood friends..there in there late 40s & early 50s & they still get along. Cant say that for 98 % of singing groups or rap..

Blessings🙏

Sorry But they all had Big EGO problems Back in the day they did not talk to each other for some time

Do we supposed to be in a wheelchair or using a cane at 50?🤣🤣🤣🤣

Will-i-am Black people age well asf but Ronnie been taking care of himself

@@akumulight i seriously agree with that, I'm 43 6, 2 a little overweight. I wish i could move like that at 50 plus. I better get started now.

STILL looking good, Yun and full of life 💕

And look damn good too!!!!!

Facts

Yep! Ricky has a great voice

It’s Ricky that’s been holding the background down! He carries it while Johnny and Ralph lead

Ricky is good just Love the three❤❤❤

@@apprillehRalph sounds like shit

Yaaaayyyyy !! You go RICARDO BELL with your BAD SELF. FACTS

Now now when they were young in new edition Ralph Tresvant had New Edition on Lock with his Michael Jackson voice..everybody adored Ralph..yes Rickey has vocals but they all brought something to the group . My favorites were Ricky and Mike idk I just liked them and still do..

this is a WHOLE MOTHERFUCKING LIE! Ralph was and is the best singer. And the heart and sould of NE! Johnny doesnt count bc he is simply a fill in.

👏👏👏👏

Cool, that certainly is not the norm!

Correct

So true makes you wonder about other groups. Nsync, destiny child just too name a few.

Don't forget The Beatles and now One Direction

IKR. I said they were dancing like they did in their 20s. I am 44 and they are older than me. I can't do that..lol

Yeah I can see the emotions in his eyes like yes those were the days I remember when I made that teary eye, he was a mega star then still is as long as his music is stayed played he will always be the man, seriously if he wasn't in his condition I believe the right producer he could have an album as big as don't be cruel, all 6 are actually coming back together on tour im excited for all of them I want another album from all 6 together again lol NE forever

I concur. 😊

rahsaan hill same. But their new song (just Ralph & Johnny) is good, tho. Lol

It's waaaaay past time

Nah we don't need them at all. We moved on and we are all set. Fuck Ralph and Gill

@@Jaymon3y87 lol

I'm tired of all of their damn egos and all of these different groups they keep creating...WE WANT NEW EDITION, ALL 6! PERIOD. #CHECKYOUREGOATTHEDOOR

Exactly!!!!!!

Prince Charming yessss facts

He was the lead in BBD

Yup!!

And he did great

Back

Youuuu nooooo

FACTSX!!

Absolutely Boyz to men is up there as well

speaking of the Jacksons, I remember the day "Candy girl" wad 1st played in the radio in my small town. 4reelz I thought it was the Jackson 5 doing A B C. I was like wait.. they saying candy girl, not a b c. Threw a G off. We all in our early 50's now. Man!..

Wouldn’t be possible without the Backstreet Boys

@@stevejohnson215 “threw a g off” 😂

@@corleo02672123 🤡

Agreed! Love his voice!

He was supposed to be the original lead singer for New edition. say he got sick or something and that's how Ralph became the lead. And they just never change back. Because the little girls at the time started really liking Ralph. The record companies just let Ralph stay the face and lead of the group.

@@pharaoh2537 I thought it was more complicated than that. To me Ricky's voice was too strong and mature sounding for a pop group. Ralph voice was great for lead cause he had that high singing voice like Michael Jackson. That's why Candy Girl was such a hit. Plus the song sounded like J5's ABC.

Would have been on my feet the entire time!!

Nola Love Yess and in the isles too!!!👏🤣

We 50 plus now.. dont think they want us in the crowd lol!!! we would put these little kids to shame lol

Well said my Sista!!!!

I AGREE ...TOO PASSIVE. They should have been rockin' that joint!!!!!

Sigh. For the most part they honor people when they are alive.

Bro he got robbed of never getting a solo chance the dude could have made it on his own

@@aaronkincade8835 I agree ...he sings so well even today!

They sounded a lot alike when they were younger ...Ricky used to sing his parts

Timestamp?

0:48

☝️Nope ... your right and he didn’t stand up hmmm ... maybe it wasn’t their call ...the higher ups made them tribute him ... I mean we should not be too surprised... groups period will always have some form of chaos just my 0p

Yes

bonesleo king you right bc I thought it was strange how he sat the whole time with this weird look

He got me crying. I love how much support these guys have given him.

✋

My Favorite also.... I thought I was the only one 🙃

@@belleg1980 you know, without taking anything from Ralph, if u listen to the solo projects, rating-wise......looks like its Bob, Johnny then Ric. Them BBD songs he kills. Them NE songs, he slams. So I guess its just us for Ric just like the millions who feel the same.

Moreflow Falls me too! Bobby too

@@almatracy972 you got that right🕺🕺

That would be ralph tresvant

He Betts sang....lol! He did that!

I was thinking the same thing 😃😃😃

Mike sounds like Mike

Sound Puppy um, YEAH, lol!

He's the only one in. The group who can sing. He's covering Bobby better than Bobby these days. Bobby's voice is shot!

he alway has had that fyah!

No doubt always has been my favorite singer in group

Always could but at first, Ralph's "Michael Jackson like" boyish voice was more commercially appealing...or so was the thought.

This is what you call love friends forever no matter what can and comes there way true friends Forever God bless Peace and so much ❤️ love

Came there way

It truly does !!

Deandre It was always great though, just aged well now.

I loved “One more day”

That "One More Day" is an underrated Jam!!!!

Ricky super underrated

👍🏾💯
