New Edition is the Wu-Tang Clan of R&B. I love the fact that no matter what's going on, whether they're beefing or hatin on each other, at the end of the day they can come back together at any moment to make music together. Like a family.
Thats 100.. Years back someone asked Mike about Bobby and his ups and downs..Mike told the interviewer that the doors is always open for Bobby New Edition has true brotherhood
Wow. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Tresvant. I NEVER EVER heard of a lead singer asking for the other member’s names to be mentioned. That’s a VERY humble man. Mr. Tresvant is the voice of the group first, last and always.
Look how humble Ralph is. He still is the lead singer of NE but hes always been a team player sometimes to his detriment. Love NE and love you Ralph foreva. Thank You for the great music and soundtrack to my childhood!
He's not full of himself like David Ruffin was from The Temptations. Ralph Tresvant has my utmost respect for how he has conducted himself and put the group FIRST!
xXPerryHotterXx , I agree with that also. And we can also cannot have New Edition without the Original member Bobby Brown. Johnny Gill cool too but he is from the Presidential city of Washington, DC not from Boston Roxbury MA. But Johnny Gill can groove with his croon of singing. Mad respect to New Edition Fa sho.
What career would Ralph had had without those four guys behind him infact when Ralph wasn't in front of them they all were successful so than why for 37 years everybody has been making it about Ralph Michael Bivins is the most successful of all of them anyway
@YaMomz Plumber if a double platinum album gold singles and songs on movie soundtracks is bricked then yea ralph bricked..its alot of artist that wish they bricked too then lol
@@teahmoore3601 Well since you decided to respond to clarify for us all, then you should also know there are dozens of OTHER positive questions that could have been asked right? Dont be naive and or dismissive fam....
BBD and Bobby is an perfect example of what they had to offer to the group. They couldn't display that due to management and producers controlling the music.
But it also why groups did well then, everybody can't and shouldn't be playing the lead singer. The only thing that went wrong with the group is their constant infighting.
Ralph Tresvant is my favorite member. He sang lead, best dancer, great solo album. He was almost like the other m jackson. His lead voice to me is the voice of New Edition.
I like what he said at the end about no one telling him how to sing dance or keep a fan base, he's just going to be who his parents raised him to be. Love you Ralph for that
Monique3232 how is it that the background dancers have sold more than triple what he ever has on one album ...he should’ve been a background dancer lmao
@@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484 and you don't HAVE to watch the recommended videos idiot. You chose to because you saw Ralph. you really love him and you're upset that he hasn't joined the snakes. I get it. I don't click on the background dancers videos everytime a video is recommended. RBRM fans are the slowest. I swear.
Monique3232 the snakes are on a sold out tour while Ralph currently has ZERO dates and has NEVER headlined a tour in his life that didn’t include New Edition meanwhile Bobby and BBD have headlines as their own act AND together ...tell Ralph to go beg someone to let him on one of these R&B nostalgia tours because he needs it ...they don’t even call his ass
Lord in 84 when I was 14 I modeled for Millie Lewis Agency we got backstage passes to their Candy concert Ralph was my 1 cheek kiss I loved him since 😘
I always Loved Ralph. I had a big crush on him when I was a teen in 1983, especially when he became a Young Man. I’ve been following for years, and listens to his radio show. What I really Love about Ralph is he always tried to do what was best for NE, and seem so selfless. I’m glad he’s trying to do his own thing, and speak up for himself about the issues in the group. I’m looking so forward to his new cd and it’s been past his time to shine on his own.
Ralph kept the interview Positive and I applaud him for it. Maturity and Respect is what I took from this Interview. I Left Out Professionalisms, That also shine through this Interview. One ☝🏽 Love ❤️
Look..I will always have respect for Ralph Tresvant. He had hard work ethics since he was a child and took what he does seriously and kids coming up wanting to perform whether dancing, singing or musician can see if they work hard even through struggles that they can make it. Ralph Tresvant is still going strong today and inspiring younger generations
Wow! Loved what Ralph said & am glad to see him! To have thought that way at that age really was a testament to his character. He continued to be of good character even as an adult! Loved this! DL really kept pushing for the negative & even cut him off as he was speaking! Ralph Tresvant is a class act!
@@jonjonharreld5774 When they did the special on. The BET Awards with New Edition...The older cast of the movie and the younger cast members....I thought that was one of the COOLEST PERFORMANCES ....E.V.E.R!!! Loved it❤🔥🔥🔥
AS FINE AS HE WANNA BE and the hero of this story! Keeping it positive no matter what, a rare gift. Lose the glasses so we can see those beautiful eyes 💙
DL, I appreciate you giving various performers the opportunity to sit and talk for a few. I like the vibe of it. Continue bringing on our veterans. Thanks, again, Brother.
Good god I remember exactly where I was when I first heard “ Cool it now” and lord have mercy this boy has gray in his goat tee now. Good grief how time flies.
I love Ralph but he's not the alpha leader of the group. He was just chosen to be the lead singer by management. Mike is the true alpha leader of the group. Just fyi. Carry on...🙂
New Edition... every 80’s baby remembers the brotherhood.. I get there was differences .. but from the fans to you guys let’s remember the brotherhood.. let’s remember the timeless music you gave us that we can share forever.. NEW EDITION.. today .. NEW EDITION TMMRW... NEW EDITION FOREVER 👊🏾
I always felt that NE’s problem was two things 1) ego and 2) outside commentary having insider decision making rolls. Wish they’d get it together long enough to see it.
U R SOOOO SPECIAL MR. TRESVANT. Hoping to see u in Cleveland soon. Truly LOVE all u have contributed from your heart, soul, maturity, etc. Stay well. U r a blessing. Too many gone too soon. WE NEED MORE LIKE U❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
VERY good commentary on Mr. Tresvant’s whole career. It’s very rare. My opinion on that is he did it too late. Had he had a chance to break out first it might’ve been different. We’ll never know.
@INFINITE 2020 you do know they have different birthday's right and Rakim is the older one of the 2 hell even with identical twins one have to still be older than the other one by being born first lol but either way it's all good 🙂👍🏽
Wit ALL groups there's gonna be someone that's gonna stand, some would say tha leader..Ralph was it for NE..When everybody branched out it made NE even doper (if that's a word..Lol..)..At least in my opinion..NE4LIFE..💯
I DO LOVE New Edition and ALL its Members. I have had crushes on all of them during certain phases of my life. One thing I can say for sure about the group and it's members is that they are true SURVIVORS of that Crazy and Sometimey industry called Entertainment and I admire all the hardwork and dedication that they've contributed. NE For Life!!!
❤I'll always love New Edition Thanks for the Great Music that Created Great MEMORIES❤As well as the independent music all you guys have made great hits on your own & together that's truly a Blessing. Surprised ya'll haven't got honored yet🤔
@@tanishakennedy4616 someone told me they were at the WAX museum that Wendy William's & Other celebrities are in but when I googled it I didn't see it. Thanks for telling me about the Star in Hollywood when I go for the holidays I'm going to check that out! I thought in Bobby Brown had a Star
@@sugamama9444 Oh Yeah I forgot about that. That's when they had the guys that played them in their movie didn't they come out and sing? I don't remember who else
That's that guy, been having de ladies goin crazy from a boy a pre teen n a grown man... Legendary and they shut shit down wherever they go for decade's💯💯💯💯💯
I like and respect the way Ralph Tresvant speck the truth about the other members of the group. He knew they all had other talents that could've been brought forth on stage👍💯💪. Humble young man. I am 69 yrs old and still and forever will be a New Edition fan. 👍🥇🎵🎶
The NE split up was a good thing. First hear me out 😂 Remember when ppl thought of NE back then they think of Ralph bc he was the main singer. They didn’t know the back up. They had they own talents. Bobby Brown- solo singer aka king of R&B Johnny Gill- solo singer Ronnie, Mike, Rickey- BBD Now ppl know them individually. “Everything happens for a reason”
Ralph you were every one's number one. I love the fact you are so humble. Ooh what a lovely voice. Please all you boys get back together and produce some more hits. You were always my no 1 in New Edition loved you especially in the sensitivity videos that body and face. You could have been a model if you were not a singer!
Umm 🤔 I didn’t think it was like that. I think it was the record label pitting them against each other. It’s almost always some one in group memeber’s ears if you think about many of the groups that break up.
I saw all of them in concert at Madison Square garden years ago. They blew it up!! I wished they can come together again, I would 💜 to see them bring that magic back
I think that all of NE group members have grown personally and they realize that they need to keep family business in the family and not in the streets because they have seen overall how it can affect the group. I still love NE to this day and will always be fan and I love to see them all together singing
@@tabbykat2748 LiES. Ricky Bell's ass slandered Ralph and pretty much called him a liar about being offered a solo deal in at least 5 interviews. Salty much? If we're being REALLY honest BBD's jealous asses allowed fans to think that Ralph and Johnny didn't offer for them to join that trademark until Johnny finally told the truth. Don't get mad at Johnny for telling the truth.
Ralph America loves you...I am 65 and still have a crush on you. I took my 45 year old to see you. You are a man..morals values and self respect. Sad Rickey Ronnie and Mike let you down..running behind sorry was Bobby Brown. Love you Ralph...take a vote..u are #1...Oh Johnny...he put the icing on the cake...
New Edition was and still is the joint. All of the members of the group were and still are da bomb! If they step on stage and just stand there, the audience will give a standing O because they have touched so many and their history is solid.
This was a really good interview!!! DL Hughley’s show is the best talk show on TV, definitely the most informative, especially for us, but not limited to us.
