@@DianeJenningsmiss Diane I grew up on boyz to men in the 90s in Los Angeles California ( this was done in 1997 ) I knew you were one of us you need to do a whole 90s R&B ( rhythm and blues ) hour and tell us what you think, let me suggest water runs dry by them ( in the 90s boy bands didn’t necessarily dance that only became a thing in the early 2000
Dude, same! I still remember having a friend of a girl come ask me to dance for her because she was too shy AND I was too shy to dance horribly, so I said no. I don’t often kick myself for my decisions as an adolescent, but that’s one I’d like back just because older me had the realization that she had to like me to want to ask me to dance and I was too stupid to even contemplate that possibility.
Boyz II Men was an amazing group! The harmony still gives me chills. Their music brings me back to my childhood and how much my sister and I loved listening to them. ❤
If you like Boyz II Men and what to check out more of their songs; I recommend you check out their song *I’ll Make Love To You* , *One Sweet Day* , *It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday* and *A Song for Mama*
Wow, I did not expect to see Boyz 2 Men on this channel! Great music! They still tour by the way. I was a kid when they started. Their songs are still on the radio in America today. Great reaction!
wow, haven't listened to BoyzIIMen in a very long time! I forgot just how great they sounded. Another great choice and reaction Diane, thanks! Cheers 💚
Boyz II Men were HUGE in the US in the 1990s. They had some amazing harmonies. For an upbeat song, I would go with Motown Philly, which was pretty huge. For slower ballad acapella tearjerker, It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday. Another popular and great demonstration of their vocal harmonies is their cover of In The Still Of The Nite.
Boys II Men's First Two Albums Cooley High Harmony and II are there most popular albums that play on the radio and music video tv. They also have sang them live at music awards.
Funny story. This song came out when I was stationed in Germany. We were out in the field and without any headphones, I would play this song repeatedly...fifty times in a row. I was in a tent with 20 other soldiers and not one of them complained when I rewound that cassette tape and played it again and again. Thank you, Diane, for keeping this song alive. I love your reactions. Your accent reminds me of my Irish soldier buddy who I had to rescue from many bar fights but yours sounds cuter.
I asked my housemate & she said Boys2Men was definitely popular in Australia, which only thickens the mystery around Ireland, maybe one of them was allergic to stout
This song was #1 in the US from August 9 - November 7, 1992 at the time, a record-breaking 13 weeks! It would be surpassed by Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You mere months later. Idk your birthday/age, Diane, but I imagine it's around that time. I would love to see you react to the #1 song the week you were born on this channel!!
Boys 2 Men is a good quartet group with the comfortable easy listening jams. Very heart warming loyal song and one of their best songs. Thanks for sharing the musical journey. I enjoyed listening to the song with You.
This is my comment to boost your algorithm. It is fun to watch your reactions and to listen to your insights from the perspective that is unique to you. It is entirely a mystery to me when your reactions become especially intense. The phenomenon reminds me of all the young ladies who screamed their lungs out in the old films about the Beatles performing live.
7:31 Fun Fact: Boyz II Men ( _Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA_ ) and Boyzone ( _Dublin To Detroit_) both released a MoTown album where they covered some of the same songs.
Happy Wednesday Diane! Great seeing you on here as usual! This was a great choice to react to! I have grown up listening to "Boyz II Men" and this particular song, which is also on the soundtrack to the Eddie Murphy film "Boomerang" (1992). I like singing this song when I go do karaoke with friends. You should do more reactions to groups like this. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reactions. You're always fun to watch on here. Have a fantastic rest of your week Diane and be well! 😎👍
Good selection. This was a huge hit at the time, it broke chart records in the US, reached #1 in just about every English speaking country in the world, including Ireland, and was top 10 in many other countries. They had so many hit songs, I'd be surprised if they didn't visit Ireland or the UK at least a few times back then! 😊
Wonderful reaction. Thanks again for taking Patreons & Members on your quick trip to Ireland! It was kinda crowded in your camera, but everyone was very understanding and got out of each other's way. 😂
This was the first CD I ever had. Can't remember how old I was but was in elementary school and listened to it on repeat when I had the chickenpox. I'm gonna guess it was '94
Nice Reaction Diane! Boyz II Men was part of that Philly New Jack Swing sound out of the 90s. Highly recommend the song "Poison" by Bel Biz Devoe. Have a Weird Wednesday!
The group was named after a popular New Edition song Boys To Men. NE are legends! They're the blueprint for all boy bands after Jackson 5.. You should check them out sometime. They started in 1983 with Bobby Brown being a founding member. They still perform today and all of the members went on to do solo projects and for spin off groups like Bell Biv Devoe. Check out If It Isn't Love and Can You Stand The Rain.
They were a really great group also they had a Vegas show for a long time. I remember when they came out and even worse when Michael died that was a shock.
Thanks Diane! Loved the ‘plug alert’ BTW. I’ve heard of Boys II Men, but I haven’t ever listened to their music - until now of course. Thanks again and take care.
These guys are great, a classic group. I saw them in concert way back in the olden days. Now you should do a comparison with "Home Free" covering "End of the Road".
A couple of years ago (pre-pandemic) they did a concert with the Asheville Symphony and, possibly, Steep Canyon Rangers (a local group that has made good).
Michael, the one with the cane and the deep voice, had back pain when he was with the band and was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (affects the central nervous system) in 2003.
You have to check out Home Free! The guy Tim who sings bass can rattle the speakers with his low notes. I've seen them twice in concert. They do this song and it is amazing!!!
Went down the music rabbit hole and found some cover band songs I never knew Boys II Men Sang like Cyndi Laupers Time After Time, Journey(band) Open Arms, Grease Live Beauty School Dropout, The Five Satins In Still of Night(original song is on movie dirty dancing).
Boyz II Men was discovered by Michael Bivens of boy and New Edition. They actually take their name from a New Edition song from the NE Heartbreak album: Boys to Men. The young man with the rose is Kevin Powell. Known to most Gen Xers from being on season 1 of MTV's The Real World.
Boyz II Men took their name from the title of a New Edition song 'Boys to Men'. New Edition member Mike Bivens was their original producer. Their name caught his attention because of the correlation.
Diane. This is awesome. I was reading comments and saw the name Nunnemaker. Not a common last name. Same as mine!!! So cool. Diane Jennngs. Bringing family together. 🤪🤪
Motown Philly next. It's a style of Motown from this time period. Boyz II Men were huge here in the US during this time and always heard them on the radio.
Boys 2 men actually helped kickstart the R&B movement in music. haven't heard much from these guys in a long time other than some collectors records though.
Are you kidding? They did not. How old do you think they are? Motown was producing legendary R&B way before their parents were even born. Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Aretha, Teddy Pendergrass, Luther Vandross?
@@TreyMessiah95 HA!!! Late 70s? Billboard rolled out their first R&B chart in 1949. Louis Jordan dominated R&B music in the 40s. Aretha Franklin’s first R&B hit was in the 60s and there were a bunch of artist before her.
That song broke Elvis Presley's 36 year old record for weeks at number 1 at 12 weeks on the Billboard charts. Then Whitney Houston broke it with "I Will Always Love You" at 14 weeks. Then Boyz II Men tied it at 14 weeks with "I'll Make Love To You." Then they became the only artist to knock themselves out of the number 1 spot with their own song "On Bended Knee," but it only lasted 6 weeks at the number 1 spot. Finally, they broke the record again at 16 weeks with a duet with Mariah Carey called "One Sweet Day," which still stands today.
According to dutch Wiki on Boyz2men, Nathan Morris started a band (Unique Attraction) with his classmate Marc Nelson in 1985 when he was 14, so that would make Nathan 21 in 1992 (depending on b-day offcourse). Love their "duet" with Mariah Carey - One sweet day
Another Good R&B quartet group is called All-4-One. Best known for singing song cover songs of 90s Country Music John Micheal Montgomery and 60s quintet group The Tymes. John Micheal Montgomery has the country jams try listening to his albums Life's a Dance, Kickin' It Up, John Micheal Montgomery(album).
Boys to Men are in Philadelphia where I live and they went to the School of Performing Arts I think. When they made that song they were about 24 or 25 I guess
Boyz Ii Men got their name from a song title by New Edition from their Heartbreak Album called "Boys to Men". New Edition started the modern boy band era from the 80's as little kids. However, Boyz II Men became the most successful R&B group in history.
Like some others here, I have heard of Boys to Men, but they were not a band I have listened to. Except for here and now. I can't believe how my horizons have expanded!
"Run Boyzone over with your big American truck" was my favorite bit 😂

Ye should do more Boyz II Men...they even had Bobby Brown as a front man (yup, that one...)
I just looked them up.
They sound like a contemporary Christian singing group. 😊
Them with Mariah Carey singing ONE SWEET DAY is total perfect harmony
16 weeks on the top of the chart Billboard Hot 100!
Agree really shows there vocals
One Sweet day & 4 seasons in 1 Day are my fav tracks.
That band was huge back in the early to mid 90's.
In terms of popularity, think of Taylor swift now

On of the greatest slow dance songs of my middle school life…if I only danced and didn’t just help hold up the wall

Boyz II Men is one of my favorites bands ever. So talented....and named after a song from another favorite of mine, New Edition.
That’s so interesting Jason! I never would’ve guessed

It’s mad we didn’t get them but I guess touring Ireland wouldn’t have done much for them 😂 too small
@DianeJennings yes, they were before NSync and Backstreet
They're still together now trio
Boys ll men is the greatest combination of voices of all time.
