Oh my. This band spawned so much music in the 80s and 90s, it's scary. First you had Bobby Brown (husband of Whitney Houston), who had a huge solo career. Then you had Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant, who also had a string of solo hits. The other three - Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe, formed Bell Biv DeVoe. They were just kids here, with their whole lives ahead of them. Other classics include "Candy Girl", "Mr. Telephone Man", "Count Me Out", and "If It Isn't Love".
Right?! I was about to comment, and I stopped, and said, to myself (Wow, where do I start with this? 🤔) So much to talk about with them!! Bobby Brown and Bel Biv Devoe are my faves. ❤
I can’t believe you guys had never heard of New Edition, especially since it spawned Bobby Brown , Bell Biv DeVoe and more stars. That’s crazy, man I am old!!!
New Edition is such a talented group. Many hits as a group and then more outside the group with Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill, and Ralph Tresvant doing solo projects and the remaining three members forming a separate group, Bell Biv DeVoe. NE performed on the American Music Awards a couple weeks ago with New Kids On The Block. It was the performance of the night. Hope to see more New Edition reactions from RSR, including some after their voices have matured more.
"Candy Girl" by New Edition is a great song. It was a huge hit for them in the UK. It was released in 1983. His voice has probably not broke cos it doesn't sound like it comes from him, but he does look young still.
They all grew up to be R&B legends. New Edition: Ralph Tresvant Bobby Brown Ricky Bell(Bell,Biv,DeVoe) Ronnie DeVoe Michael Bivens And later Johnny Gill
New Editions's later hit "If It Isn't Love" is an all-time R&B classic. Another great 80s R&B kid band and mega hit of the late 80s is The Boys, "Dial My Heart"
I guess there are two teams, I tried several times to listen to this one, but I'm all for that bubblegum pop New Edition all day all night anytime. Even their B-sides were killer I just found out about a couple of those :o How was 'Gold Mine' never released??
One of the greatest R&B groups of all time. And Ralph's voice stays high his whole life. Now watch one of the greatest R&B songs of all time, Can You Stand The Rain. The absolute bomb
The voice of Ralph Tresvant was always high and airy. This was a very young new Edition. Fall into this rabbit hole. They're a staple requirement of R&B knowledge.
Gotta do “Can You Stand the Rain” Jonny Gill will knock both of you out with his vocal runs, and NE’s harmonies are second to none (not to mention Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis on the production)
Ralph Tresvant has always had a unique vocal - even his adult voice is unique but I like his voice young or old. Ralph Tresvant's solo album in the 90s was the shit
Y’all should check out the New Edition/New Kids on the Block performance from the AMAs a few weeks ago where they do a medley of their hits. It was a great performance by all the original members from the 80s for both of the groups started by Maurice Starr.
"If it isn't love," is still one of my favorite songs.... this is a rabbit whole you want to go down. Every single one of these talented guys recorded amazing music together and on different projects
Oh my, didn't know you guys didn't know them. That opens a DEEP rabbit hole of hits. The group probably had at least a dozen, then the solo hits from Ralph (who sang lead on this one), Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill and BBD. Altogether you're looking at 25-30 hit songs at least. As New Edition other great songs of theirs from this age period are Mr Telephone Man, Candy Girl, Count Me Out. Then Bobby leaves the group and goes solo and they replace him with Johnny Gill and about 3-4 years later put out the magnificent Heartbreak record with If It Isn't Love, Can You Stand The Rain and the amazing Boys to Men, which is where the 90s group got their name.
In this video they’re probably about 15 years old. I would recommend If It Isn’t Love in which they were a little bit older and their voices had matured. This group probably spawned more successful acts than any group I can think of. Bobby Brown was the first to go solo and he became a mega star. Ralph Tresvant, the lead singer also went solo and did well. Johnny Gill who replaced Bobby Brown in the group also had a couple of huge hits as a solo artist after joining New Edition. And then of course there are the remaining three members who formed Bell Biv Devoe after everyone else went solo and they blew up. Then after that time apart they all rejoined together under the New Edition moniker and it was like the super friends of R&B reuniting to save music. I really hope you listen to all of these acts, together and individually.
New Edition has such a huge catalog. You're going to love the songs that this group has made during their time together. Dig deeper in to this groups history. You won't be disappointed
Their later hits as a group are some of the best R&B you'll ever hear. "Can You Stand the Rain" "If It Isn't Love" and "Boys to Men" are classics. Adding Johnny Gil after Bobby Brown left, gave the group a deep soulful voice which elevates these 3 songs into legend. Bobby Brown's solo LP turned him into a phenom when it came out. "Every Little Step" "My Perogrative" "Roni" "Rock Wit'cha" and "Don't Be Cruel" all reached the top 10 and came from the same album. 3 other members, Michael Bivens, Ricky Bell and Ronnie DeVoe formed a group called Bell Biv DeVoe and had 2 hits "Poison" and "Do Me!" reach #3 on the billboard charts. Johnny Gil had a bunch of solo hits. "My, My, My" and "Rub You the Right Way" are his most popular.
Bobby Brown was married to Whitney Houston and they had a daughter named Bobbi Christina. Listen to Bobby Brown’s song, “Every Little Step I Take”. His voice is deeper by then but still has an awesome voice.
And we lived to see it. Amazing and I’m grateful to have been a tween with this song then Bobby Brown solo career til His life with Whitney and of course BBD. I also wondered if they had any clue who “ Ronny, Bobby, Mickey snd Mike…” were/are. We got to see legends grow up.
"Bubble gum Pop" is what early New Edition was labeled as. They evolved into a R&B, New Jack Swing style as they got older. Other than the Jackson 5 they're by far the best boy group ever, imo. They actually should've been even bigger than they were but internal conflict with management and group members kept them from reaching their full potential.
New Edition was a big deal, back in the day. They can all dance and sing. Three of them later became Bell Dive DeVoe. Bobby Brown became Whitney Houston's husband.
New Edition is a mega group with a career spanning 40 plus years and still going. They are Iconic and you can't just say that about other groups. They started as preteens in 1983 and here it is soon to be 2022 and the have a new album coming out. What makes them so great is as the original lineup with Bobby Brown they were big, without Bobby, that still were big. When Johnny Gill joined the group they were more mature and still big, Bobby went solo and he was massive. Then Johnny Gill (who was originally solo) and Ralph went solo they were big and the 3 remaining members formed a trio called BBD (Bell Biv DeVoe) and they were massive too. Then the got back together with Bobby back in the group and now it's a six member group instead of 5 and are never lost a step. How many groups can say they are big as a group and each member of the group was big separate from the group?
I recommend: Candy Girl, Is This The End, Mr. Telephone Man, Count Me Out, If It Isn't Love, Not My Kind Of Girl, and Can You Stand The Rain, as well as Poison by BBD, Every Little Step by Bobby Brown, and Sensitivity and Stone Cold Gentleman by Ralph Tresvant
Recently, at the AMA awards, All original New Edition had a mini “competition” live with New Kids on the Block wanting the rights to say they were the best boy band of 80’s/90’s, hailing from Boston, even Bobby Brown was there! They were soo big, both bands.. and soo good!
Please react to the AMA's 2021. Their new kids on the block & new edition performance was AMAZING! NE is my favorite group. Hands down. Everybody loves NE including boys/men.
Yep, lead singer Ralph Tresvant, Ronnie/Ricky/Mike became Bel Biv Devoe and of course Bobby Brown. You should have started out like all of us did when they were just kids with Candy Girl, especially since you mentioned the Jacksons with Ralph taking on the MJ role.Official video - th-cam.com/video/qAFg2TQk9v0/w-d-xo.html and one I had not seen before - th-cam.com/video/6KWhyhyp5S4/w-d-xo.html
Man the talent out of these guys both on their own. After this,and the ones they discovered as well. Specifically Michael Bivens producing Boys.II Men!!! 😉❤✌🏼
Love NE. By far the best (ughhh) Boy Band of the 80’s. They created the mold. IMHO there best song is IF IT ISN’T LOVE. You’ll love it. Great grove to dance to. Jay, I can already see you moving in your chair. 😂👍👊
Can you stand the rain? Is one of their best songs...its more grown up...and features Johnny Gil when he joined the group. You would be surprised that it's even the same group.
Here's a bit of history: New Edition was formed in 1978 by Bobby Brown & included Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe & Ralph Tresvant. Brown left the group in 1985 for solo career before Johnny Gill joining group in 1987. Gill & Tresvant left group in 90s for solo careers, leaving the remaining 3 members to form group, in early 90s, known as 'BELL BIV DEVOE.
New Edition (Ralph Tresvant, Ricky Bell, Bobby Brown, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe...Johnny Gill would join the group in 1987 taking Bobby's spot) first came out with Candy Girl in 1983 as 14-15 year olds. This song was a year later as 15-16 year olds. Their NE Heartbreak album of 1988 is a more mature sounding NE. You should watch The New Edition Story and Bobby Brown Story (B.E.T.) one day. Some good songs from their younger days are: Is This The End, Candy Girl, Popcorn Love, Jealous Girl, Mr Telephone Man, Lost In Love, My Secret (Didja Get It Yet), Leaving You Again, A Little Bit Of Love, Maryann, Count Me Out, Kickback, Sweet Thing, Who Do You Trust, Tonight's Your Night, Delicious & Let's Be Friends. Some good songs from their older yeears are: Can You Stand The Rain, If It Isn't Love, (Sorry) You're Not My Kind of Girl, Boys To Men, One More Day, I'm Still In Love With You, Hit Me Off, NE Heartbreak, Crucial, Superlady, I'm Comin' Home, Hear Me Out, Something About You, Oh Yeah It Feels So Good, How Do You Like You Love Served, Newness, Home Again, Re-Write The Memories. The group members also had success outside of the group as Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant & Johnny Gill had platinum solo careers full of hits. While Bell Biv DeVoe (BBD) ushered in the whole R&B/Rap phase on songs in the music industry with their Poison album in 1990. Bobby Brown was married to Whitney Houston as well. They made it big time for some guys that started out in the Roxbury/Cathedral public housing projects located in Boston (Johnny is from Washington, DC).
I think the oldest of them was 13 or 14 when this was recorded. this band was "discovered " by Maurice Star, who also discovered The New Kids on the Block 5 yrs later (or so).
One of the very few groups where every single member had a huge career outside of the larger group. Three solo artists and a trio from this one. You could follow any of them down a rabbit hole and love every minute of it.
For Female Friday: Ronnie Spector - ‘Be My Baby’ Bette Midler - ‘From a Distance’ Toni Braxton - ‘Un-Break My Heart’ Roberta Flack - ‘First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ Other notables: Christopher Cross - ‘Sailing,’ Kayne Brown - ‘Worship You,’ Kool and The Gang - ‘Celebration,’ Dan Fogelberg - ‘Same Old Lang Syne’ Luther Vandross - ‘Dance With My Father’
My mind is blown that you I have never heard of a "New Edition" !!! Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill, Bell Biv Devoe, Ralph Tresvant...all major artists PLEASE LISTEN TO MORE 🙏 🙏
You could go on such an amazing New Edition journey. I saw them on a reunion tour and to hear all their individual songs and hits together at one concert was amazing!
If you venture down this genre a bit more, I'd love to see your thoughts on Boyz II Men. They were one of my favorites and I saw them live back in the early 90s sometime. End of the Road is my favorite, but they have a lot of good ones. Motown Philly, 4 Seasons of Loneliness, It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday, etc....
@@breebree9319 That would be a good choice too. Anything that showcases their voices I'm all for. Plus you get a little splash of Brian McKnight in that one too. :)
Ralph Tresvant was the lead singer! We girls of the eighties loved his voice! This was early New Edition and definitely early puberty voices! The rap break’s were nice and set them apart from most of the boys bands of the day that followed their popularity and tried to be the next NE who frankly was patterned after the Jackson 5!❤❤
Amber & Jordon, New Edition were the 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣0️⃣'s boy band. Members include Ralph Tresvant, Bobby Brown; Ricky Bell; Michael Bivens; Ronnie DeVoe & Johnny Gill who replaced Bobby Brown when Brown went solo. They had great hits as members & solo performers. U guys have to react to New Edition's videos like Mr. Telephone ☎️ 👨 ; Can You Stand The 🌧 ; If It Isn't Love ❤️ ; I'm Still In Love ❤️ With You; Is This The End; Hit Me Off; Count Me Out; My Secret; Popcorn 🍿 Love ❤️ ; Give Love ❤️ On Christmas 🎄 Day; With You All The Way; Candy 🍭Girl 👧 ; Lost In Love ❤️ ; now on their solo hits, Bell, Biv & Devoe had hits like Poison ☠️ ; Word To The Mutha (featuring the whole crue New Edition); Gangsta; B.B.D. (I Thought It Was Me); Bobby Brown had hits like My Prerogative; Roni; Every Little Step; Don't Be Cruel. Ralph had Sensesitivty. Johnny Had great hits too.
Pt 2: Bobby Brown songs: My Prerogative, Roni, Rock Wit'cha, Don't Be Cruel, Good Enough, Every Little Step, Girlfriend, Something In Common, Get Away, On Our Own, Storm Away & Humpin' Around. Ralph Tresvant songs: Sensitivity, Do What I Gotta Do, I Love You, Alright, Stone Cold Gentleman, Money Can't Buy You Love, Who's The Mack, My Homegirl & When I Need Somebody. Johnny Gill songs: My My My, I'm Still Waiting, Perfect Combination, There U Go, Let's Just Run Away, This One's For Me And You, Feels So Much Better, Giving My All To You, Just Another Lonely Night, Perfect & Lady Dujour. BBD songs: Poison, I Do Need You, Please Come Back, Something In Your Eyes, When Will I See You Smile Again?, Do Me, Word To The Mutha, Above The Rim, One More Try & Finally.
I'm surprised you never heard of them before, probably the most famous if not one of the most famous boy bands ever. The lead singer is Ralph tresvant n u also have Ricky Bell, Michael Bivens n Ronnie Devoe from bel biv Devoe. We can't forget Bobby Brown was in this group as well. Bobby was replaced later on by Johnny Gill n later they were all in the group together. Check out " if it isn't love" " still in love" " can u stand the rain" or another one with them as kids was "Mr telephone man". So many more songs I could be here for awhile lol.
Ralph's voice is supposed to sound that way that's just how he sings and it sounds amazing you need to look more into new edition and bbd the group Ronnie ricky and mike started after don't judge him on his voice
I was 11 in 83 when I got this Album! I had a nice stereo system from Santa. 🎅 It had a turntable, 8-track, cassette deck & am/FM. Me & my friends made up dance routines to the entire album! 😂 And at the skating rink jam!!! So glad I grew up when I did. Love y'alls reactions!
The reason they are compared to the Jackson 5 so much is because they were young and they looked up to them as idols and patterned. The Jackson 5 was the blueprint for groups back then. Yall need to listen to them now. They have outstanding choreography and stage presence. Check out "You're Not My Kind of Girl" music video. They have lots of others as well.
Wow, I can't believe you guys have never heard of New Edition! Ralph's voice sounds the way it sounds on this track because he was a teenager and his voice hadn't changed yet. "Coo It Now" was from their second album. Their first album (Candy Girl) had three number one hits and they weren't even teenagers. A number one rated miniseries of their lives was made and broadcasted on BET. Because of them, you got groups such as "Boys II Men", "Backstreet Boys", "New Kids On The Block", "Another Bad Creation", "N'Sync", etc...these guys are legends! The group has been together since 1978 and is still performing concerts. Come take a journey down the rabbit hole known as "The New Edition"...trust me, you will not be sorry!!
Ok, here's the funny part... when you guys asked for the names of DeBarge the first thing that ran through my head was the lyric "Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike"!!!! Too much for me to have you react to this the next day....🤣🤣🤣🤣
New Edition did their thing back then. Great songs! Another group you'll love is Boyz 2 Men. Their harmonies are truly amazing. Suggested songs End Of The Road, It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday, I'll Make Love To You and there's more! You have to check them out! Such beautiful music🎶🎶
You need to listen to if it isn't love, or can you stand the rain.. they were real young on this one. But try the other songs because their voices are so goooood!! ❤🎵🎶🎤
Another cool “group” (actually a family) is The Osmands, and one of their first songs is “One Bad Apple”. If you react to The Jackson Five as a family group, then you need to react to them too!
You guys have no idea of what a deep well of music you've just opened!!!!!!! New Edition leads to so many other acts, all within that one group. You have New Edition, Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill, Ralph Trevant, and BBD (which stands for Michael Bivins, Ricky Bell, and Ronnie DeVoe.) That is just the acts directly from NE. Then you have two more acts credited to members of NE; ABC which stands for Another Bad Creation and one of most successful boy bands ever produced BOYZ II MEN!
This was my very first 45. I also had “Mr. Telephone man.” Another song by them. But MJ Thriller was my first 33. Look closely too, one of the members is Bobby Brown.
New Edition was based out of Boston and were trying to become the new edition of the Jackson 5. There is a common factor between New Edition and New Kids on the Block, aside from being from the same area. They were both discovered by the same guy, Maurice Starr. Bobby Brown was the main breakout star of the group in the 80s and early 90s, this would be the same guy who married Whitney Houston. Three of the guys would form a group in the early 90s called Bell Biv Devoe, who's biggest hit was Poison. And one of those guys helped discover Boyz II Men. Plenty of talent all coming from this group.
Give Bobby Brown's My Prerogative a listen. Or Bell, Biv Devoe's Poison. Pretty much all the members went on to release music after New Edition.
Absolutely to both!!
Bobby Brown! Can you recognize him?
I think you forgot Ralph tresvant, I got to do what I got to do is the name of this song. He's the lead singer in this
good suggestions! 🥰
Definitely both!
Oh my. This band spawned so much music in the 80s and 90s, it's scary. First you had Bobby Brown (husband of Whitney Houston), who had a huge solo career. Then you had Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant, who also had a string of solo hits. The other three - Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe, formed Bell Biv DeVoe. They were just kids here, with their whole lives ahead of them. Other classics include "Candy Girl", "Mr. Telephone Man", "Count Me Out", and "If It Isn't Love".
I agree
Right?! I was about to comment, and I stopped, and said, to myself (Wow, where do I start with this? 🤔) So much to talk about with them!! Bobby Brown and Bel Biv Devoe are my faves. ❤
Maybe he needs to listen to them a little older... since the music did spand decades. Something like Word to the Mutha
@@loristone9242 You can't even say "Bell Biv DeVoe" without hearing "Poison!" in your head...
Ah, I forgot about “Count me Out”… one of the songs of the era with a moral message!
At 52y, sometimes I can't remember why I walked into a room, but I know every word to this song! Love me some New Edition.
51 here and same 😉
Yes!!
I feel seen.
52, as well! Yes to this all day long! 🤩
Same!
I can’t believe you guys had never heard of New Edition, especially since it spawned Bobby Brown , Bell Biv DeVoe and more stars. That’s crazy, man I am old!!!
My 22 & 17yr old knows who new edition is
New Edition is such a talented group.

This group launch so many great carreers., including Boys 2 men since BBD launch them
Now ya know
New Edition could do a verzuz just featuring the members of the group
@@bigmixx75 I would love to see a four way verzuz of just them.
Johnny Gill was a later member of the group
"Candy Girl" by New Edition is a great song. It was a huge hit for them in the UK. It was released in 1983.
His voice has probably not broke cos it doesn't sound like it comes from him, but he does look young still.
Thankyou. I was trying to think of a song I thought was them. That’s it. Candy Girl. ✌🏻
My favourite
They recorded the song in 1983
In the UK, it was also a big hit in America..
They all grew up to be R&B legends.
New Edition:
Ralph Tresvant
Bobby Brown
Ricky Bell(Bell,Biv,DeVoe)
Ronnie DeVoe
Michael Bivens
And later Johnny Gill
New Editions's later hit "If It Isn't Love" is an all-time R&B classic. Another great 80s R&B kid band and mega hit of the late 80s is The Boys, "Dial My Heart"
If it isn't love is soooooo good
Yes! If It Isn’t Love was my jam 🔥
If it isn’t love!
I loved The Boys!!! Yes!
Just watched dial my heart MV yesterday.
Ralph Tresvant’s voice is still high. He is fantastic. These guys cleared the path for a lot of the groups we all love.
Youngings bro not knowing lol
“Can you stand the rain “ is there best song! They did it when they were older so you might like it more.:)
Agree!!
I guess there are two teams, I tried several times to listen to this one, but I'm all for that bubblegum pop New Edition all day all night anytime. Even their B-sides were killer I just found out about a couple of those :o How was 'Gold Mine' never released??

Yaaassss!!! That performance was pure 🔥
New Edition opened the door to New Kids on the Block which led the way to future boy bands of the 90’s *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys etc
Also Jackson 5. 100%
@@SherriLyle80s Jackson 5 came way before them
Don't forget HI five , Boyz 2 men , immature , B2K , Soul for real , Jodeci , Jagged edge , Silk , 112 , Mindless behavior , B5 and Day 26
Yesssss, you finally did New Edition, LISTEN to CANDY GIRL
"If it isn't love," is still one of my favorite songs.... this is a rabbit whole you want to go down. Every single one of these talented guys recorded amazing music together and on different projects
I agree that"If It Isn't Love" and "Can You Stand the Rain" are definitely worth hearing!
Oh my, didn't know you guys didn't know them. That opens a DEEP rabbit hole of hits. The group probably had at least a dozen, then the solo hits from Ralph (who sang lead on this one), Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill and BBD. Altogether you're looking at 25-30 hit songs at least.

New Edition has such a huge catalog. You're going to love the songs that this group has made during their time together. Dig deeper in to this groups history. You won't be disappointed
Can't see them going further. New edition has a huge catalog. Channels like this don't give R&B much play.
Ralph grows into his voice. Unmistakable.
Their later hits as a group are some of the best R&B you'll ever hear. "Can You Stand the Rain" "If It Isn't Love" and "Boys to Men" are classics. Adding Johnny Gil after Bobby Brown left, gave the group a deep soulful voice which elevates these 3 songs into legend. Bobby Brown's solo LP turned him into a phenom when it came out.

Oh yes! Time for some boy bands from the 80s! Try Bell Biv devoe's poison
Bobby Brown was married to Whitney Houston and they had a daughter named Bobbi Christina. Listen to Bobby Brown’s song, “Every Little Step I Take”. His voice is deeper by then but still has an awesome voice.
Bobby wasn't singing lead on this song. Ralph Tresvant was.
@@MChantal76 My bad. Thanks for correcting me.
Musical Youth: Pass the Dutchie is the obvious follow up!
Yes please
Can't wait until they find out who the members are and what they have gone on to do. It's going to be a long, wild ride. I'm here for it.
Long, wild ride is right!
And we lived to see it. Amazing and I’m grateful to have been a tween with this song then Bobby Brown solo career til
His life with Whitney and of course BBD. I also wondered if they had any clue who “ Ronny, Bobby, Mickey snd Mike…” were/are. We got to see legends grow up.

Then the got back together with Bobby back in the group and now it's a six member group instead of 5 and are never lost a step. How many groups can say they are big as a group and each member of the group was big separate from the group?
I recommend: Candy Girl, Is This The End, Mr. Telephone Man, Count Me Out, If It Isn't Love, Not My Kind Of Girl, and Can You Stand The Rain, as well as Poison by BBD, Every Little Step by Bobby Brown, and Sensitivity and Stone Cold Gentleman by Ralph Tresvant
"If It Isn't Love" is the next New Edition song you HAVE to listen to!
The lead singer Ralph Tresvant was like 12 yrs old when this joint came out. That's reason why his voice sounds like that.
Mr Telephone Man and If This Isn't Love are great!
Recently, at the AMA awards, All original New Edition had a mini “competition” live with New Kids on the Block wanting the rights to say they were the best boy band of 80’s/90’s, hailing from Boston, even Bobby Brown was there! They were soo big, both bands.. and soo good!
Both groups produced by Maurice Starr
If memory serves me correctly this is where Bobby Brown started . Look closely to see a very young BB
And Bell Biv Devoe and Ralph Tresvant I believe.
Please react to the AMA's 2021. Their new kids on the block & new edition performance was AMAZING! NE is my favorite group. Hands down. Everybody loves NE including boys/men.
So much young talent in this group, they all went on to have success after this group went their separate ways. ♥️
Yep, lead singer Ralph Tresvant, Ronnie/Ricky/Mike became Bel Biv Devoe and of course Bobby Brown. You should have started out like all of us did when they were just kids with Candy Girl, especially since you mentioned the Jacksons with Ralph taking on the MJ role.Official video - th-cam.com/video/qAFg2TQk9v0/w-d-xo.html and one I had not seen before - th-cam.com/video/6KWhyhyp5S4/w-d-xo.html
And in his 50's Ralph still has that soft smooth voice.
Man the talent out of these guys both on their own. After this,and the ones they discovered as well.
Specifically Michael Bivens producing Boys.II Men!!! 😉❤✌🏼
Love NE. By far the best (ughhh) Boy Band of the 80’s. They created the mold. IMHO there best song is IF IT ISN’T LOVE. You’ll love it. Great grove to dance to. Jay, I can already see you moving in your chair. 😂👍👊
The boy in the orange sweater is a young Bobby Brown. Whitney's ex husband.
That’s a skating rink song definitely. Heard it many times skating in the 80’s lol. Love it.
Can you stand the rain? Is one of their best songs...its more grown up...and features Johnny Gil when he joined the group. You would be surprised that it's even the same group.
Here's a bit of history: New Edition was formed in 1978 by Bobby Brown & included Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe & Ralph Tresvant. Brown left the group in 1985 for solo career before Johnny Gill joining group in 1987. Gill & Tresvant left group in 90s for solo careers, leaving the remaining 3 members to form group, in early 90s, known as 'BELL BIV DEVOE.
This is 3rd or 4th grade for me. LOVE New Edition. Mr. Telephone Man next, please!
New Edition (Ralph Tresvant, Ricky Bell, Bobby Brown, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe...Johnny Gill would join the group in 1987 taking Bobby's spot) first came out with Candy Girl in 1983 as 14-15 year olds. This song was a year later as 15-16 year olds. Their NE Heartbreak album of 1988 is a more mature sounding NE. You should watch The New Edition Story and Bobby Brown Story (B.E.T.) one day. Some good songs from their younger days are: Is This The End, Candy Girl, Popcorn Love, Jealous Girl, Mr Telephone Man, Lost In Love, My Secret (Didja Get It Yet), Leaving You Again, A Little Bit Of Love, Maryann, Count Me Out, Kickback, Sweet Thing, Who Do You Trust, Tonight's Your Night, Delicious & Let's Be Friends. Some good songs from their older yeears are: Can You Stand The Rain, If It Isn't Love, (Sorry) You're Not My Kind of Girl, Boys To Men, One More Day, I'm Still In Love With You, Hit Me Off, NE Heartbreak, Crucial, Superlady, I'm Comin' Home, Hear Me Out, Something About You, Oh Yeah It Feels So Good, How Do You Like You Love Served, Newness, Home Again, Re-Write The Memories. The group members also had success outside of the group as Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant & Johnny Gill had platinum solo careers full of hits. While Bell Biv DeVoe (BBD) ushered in the whole R&B/Rap phase on songs in the music industry with their Poison album in 1990. Bobby Brown was married to Whitney Houston as well. They made it big time for some guys that started out in the Roxbury/Cathedral public housing projects located in Boston (Johnny is from Washington, DC).
Y'all are on top of my jams! This entire Tape is "Fresh" 😂
I think the oldest of them was 13 or 14 when this was recorded. this band was "discovered " by Maurice Star, who also discovered The New Kids on the Block 5 yrs later (or so).
You guys ROCK!! Love your family and the pranks!! Beautiful children and you are awesome parents!!
One of the very few groups where every single member had a huge career outside of the larger group. Three solo artists and a trio from this one. You could follow any of them down a rabbit hole and love every minute of it.
Awww, I loved them. They were so cute and talented. You should do "Is This the End?"
I've always loved this group and this song for years
For Female Friday:

@Bill Wieland: I admire your persistance! Hopefully one day they'll react to your awesome suggestions!
@@cheryljackson5659 One day Ms Jackson! ONE DAY! Thank you.
My mind is blown that you I have never heard of a "New Edition" !!! Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill, Bell Biv Devoe, Ralph Tresvant...all major artists PLEASE LISTEN TO MORE 🙏 🙏
Check out their videos for “If it isn’t love” and “Still in Love”. Ralph’s voice is iconic.
You could go on such an amazing New Edition journey. I saw them on a reunion tour and to hear all their individual songs and hits together at one concert was amazing!
If you venture down this genre a bit more, I'd love to see your thoughts on Boyz II Men. They were one of my favorites and I saw them live back in the early 90s sometime. End of the Road is my favorite, but they have a lot of good ones. Motown Philly, 4 Seasons of Loneliness, It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday, etc....
It's Christmas, they should do do Let it Snow
@@breebree9319 That would be a good choice too. Anything that showcases their voices I'm all for. Plus you get a little splash of Brian McKnight in that one too. :)
Ralph Tresvant was the lead singer! We girls of the eighties loved his voice! This was early New Edition and definitely early puberty voices! The rap break’s were nice and set them apart from most of the boys bands of the day that followed their popularity and tried to be the next NE who frankly was patterned after the Jackson 5!❤❤
Amber & Jordon, New Edition were the 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣0️⃣'s boy band. Members include Ralph Tresvant, Bobby Brown; Ricky Bell; Michael Bivens; Ronnie DeVoe & Johnny Gill who replaced Bobby Brown when Brown went solo. They had great hits as members & solo performers.

.....and just like that I am back at the skating rink.
I'm surprised you never heard of them before, probably the most famous if not one of the most famous boy bands ever. The lead singer is Ralph tresvant n u also have Ricky Bell, Michael Bivens n Ronnie Devoe from bel biv Devoe. We can't forget Bobby Brown was in this group as well. Bobby was replaced later on by Johnny Gill n later they were all in the group together. Check out " if it isn't love" " still in love" " can u stand the rain" or another one with them as kids was "Mr telephone man". So many more songs I could be here for awhile lol.
Ralph's voice is supposed to sound that way that's just how he sings and it sounds amazing you need to look more into new edition and bbd the group Ronnie ricky and mike started after don't judge him on his voice
I was 11 in 83 when I got this Album! I had a nice stereo system from Santa. 🎅 It had a turntable, 8-track, cassette deck & am/FM. Me & my friends made up dance routines to the entire album! 😂
And at the skating rink jam!!!
So glad I grew up when I did.
Love y'alls reactions!
For the love... you gotta do Alabama Shakes - Hold on. Maybe as a female friday.
Can anybody back me up on this?
Growing up in the 80’s was awesome
Brings me back to junior high😍
ikr??
The reason they are compared to the Jackson 5 so much is because they were young and they looked up to them as idols and patterned. The Jackson 5 was the blueprint for groups back then. Yall need to listen to them now. They have outstanding choreography and stage presence. Check out "You're Not My Kind of Girl" music video. They have lots of others as well.
Wow, I can't believe you guys have never heard of New Edition! Ralph's voice sounds the way it sounds on this track because he was a teenager and his voice hadn't changed yet. "Coo It Now" was from their second album. Their first album (Candy Girl) had three number one hits and they weren't even teenagers. A number one rated miniseries of their lives was made and broadcasted on BET. Because of them, you got groups such as "Boys II Men", "Backstreet Boys", "New Kids On The Block", "Another Bad Creation", "N'Sync", etc...these guys are legends! The group has been together since 1978 and is still performing concerts. Come take a journey down the rabbit hole known as "The New Edition"...trust me, you will not be sorry!!
Such a lot of talent in this group. I saw other comments already told you the band members and what they did after new edition.
Gotta do Mr. Telephone Man too!!
Ok, here's the funny part... when you guys asked for the names of DeBarge the first thing that ran through my head was the lyric "Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike"!!!! Too much for me to have you react to this the next day....🤣🤣🤣🤣
New Edition did their thing back then. Great songs! Another group you'll love is Boyz 2 Men. Their harmonies are truly amazing. Suggested songs End Of The Road, It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday, I'll Make Love To You and there's more!
You have to check them out! Such beautiful music🎶🎶
I REALLY want to see you guys react to Boyz II Men. They've got a lot of great songs, but I think you should start out with "Motownphilly."
Boys II Men were supported by New Edition. In fact, their name came from a New Edition song!
This New Edition in the 80's they6in their 40's and 50's now.
I grew up with this I no this song by heart love it check out Mr.telephone man
I still know the raps in this by heart! One of the first albums I ever bought.
You need to listen to if it isn't love, or can you stand the rain.. they were real young on this one. But try the other songs because their voices are so goooood!! ❤🎵🎶🎤
This is one of my favorite songs of all time....I don't know how many times I've played that video, it's SO COOL!!!!!!!!!
Another cool “group” (actually a family) is The Osmands, and one of their first songs is “One Bad Apple”. If you react to The Jackson Five as a family group, then you need to react to them too!
I remember watching this video & listening to this song over & over again. Loved it then, love it now.
Next song Candy Girl ❤❤
Maurice Starr was a boyband genius he created NKOTB after this!
You guys have no idea of what a deep well of music you've just opened!!!!!!! New Edition leads to so many other acts, all within that one group. You have New Edition, Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill, Ralph Trevant, and BBD (which stands for Michael Bivins, Ricky Bell, and Ronnie DeVoe.) That is just the acts directly from NE. Then you have two more acts credited to members of NE; ABC which stands for Another Bad Creation and one of most successful boy bands ever produced BOYZ II MEN!
Soul 2 Soul... Back to Life. Another Great Group
That’s Bobby brown and bell biv Devoe in that group
And Ralph Tresvant, if I remember right.
This was my very first 45. I also had “Mr. Telephone man.” Another song by them. But MJ Thriller was my first 33. Look closely too, one of the members is Bobby Brown.
My first concert was New Edition 😁
Just love when youngins finally hear our music.
MUSICAL YOUTH "PASS THE DUTCHIE"
Definitely, If It Isn't Love. Can you stand the rain and When will I see you smile again.
Try Bel Biv Devoe song Poison.
They will go crazy for this reaction!
New Edition was based out of Boston and were trying to become the new edition of the Jackson 5. There is a common factor between New Edition and New Kids on the Block, aside from being from the same area. They were both discovered by the same guy, Maurice Starr. Bobby Brown was the main breakout star of the group in the 80s and early 90s, this would be the same guy who married Whitney Houston. Three of the guys would form a group in the early 90s called Bell Biv Devoe, who's biggest hit was Poison. And one of those guys helped discover Boyz II Men. Plenty of talent all coming from this group.
Two words for you: *AARON NEVILLE*
I have this on my play list still! I adore it! Such cuties pies! Takes me back.
I'm 60 now and still remember when my friends gave me advice like in this song when this song came out. Puppy love, those were the best of times.
New Edition is an outstanding group with a collection of great singers and entertainers!
