"NE" is the second version of the "TEMPS"hands down & "RICKY" opened so cool his vocals are so underrated & we already knew "JOHNNY" would come through because he has strong vocals !
If NE had came up the same time as the Temp's,NE would have been the greatest group and is in my opinion, the greatest singing and dance group that ever lived.
I remember when NE were young and the comparison was made between them and the Temptations. I can't believe I actually got a chance to see them peform the Temptations classics. This is an Awesome! Great Performance!!!!
No, they were mainly compared to J5! RT was MJ. However, the Temptations were the predesesors & much better as a group than J5 & had a much longer career span. MJ was the only successful solo artist from the group. Therefore, as a whole, both TEMPTATIONS & NEW EDITION were far Superior than J5. Nobody wants to hear Tito, Randy, Jacky, Marlon, maybe Jermaine, but see where his lead to, a dead end. I was actually rooting for him when MJ & Prince was on top. As Solo Artists, besides BOBBY BROWN, theirs were much more prominent, in terms of longevity, due to B.B's recklessness. He would've been up there with MICHAEL JACKSON, an icon! B.B. is still 1 to me, a LEGEND, as well as the rest of N.E. As a whole SUPER GROUP, their all ICONS in my eyes!!!! 👌👀✌💯
Ricky did an grand job he saaang that song and of course Johnny nailed his part he makes any song sound 10xs better Ralph is untouchable Mj reincarnated then my luv Ronnie his swag is so sexy his low keyness makes him so handsom sexyand phenominal and last but never the least Mike Bivens hes jst gorgeous and fly
No Doubt, The Temps are the Greatest, end of story. But since this is NE's video i'm gonna give due to one of the most underrated groups in music history. NE never gets any recognition. Their pioneer's in their own right. Pop & RnB w/ a hip hop edge. NE and Force MD's are the foundation for what would later be known as New Jack Swing and for what RnB sounds like today. NE is the bridge from the old school groups to todays groups. That's why NE are the ones today who could do this tribute.
Johnny Gill was a great addition to New Edition, he took their sound from the bubble gum pop to real grown folk R&B, and he definitely appears to be less trouble than Bobby Brown
New Edition might not have 5 quality singers like the Temptations, but live they do sing all there songs and backgrounds. They are indeed some good singers don't be fool by this performance.
After reading your comment I went back and watched about 5 live performances of the Temptations singing my girl.I fail to see how Ralph was out of his element at and your right about Johnny he took this song to a higher plateau than the Temptations even did.I may be biased cause I really love N.E. but i tried to be unbias and I love those old songs but I just thought not only did they sound better but their showmanship is on a whole other level than the Temptations were.
sean doucette, I agree!! I'm sorry but NE was better than the Temptations. If not the singing definitely the dances. I love the Temptations but their dance moves were too stiff for me, and Ralph was not out of his element, he sounded great!
bobby brown is david ruffin lol after seeing this. i love the medley they do but he tried to take my girl somewhere it didn't need to go. he over sold it in my opinion. and it shows in get ready cuz his voice sounds way to gravel trying to catch up till the very end of get ready. this shows just how talented they are. i would have loved to see bobby though.
@Crazyonepro You are right. Both Johnny and Bobby have very different vocal styles and skills. I would love to have seen the six of them do this performance since The New Edition has always been styles after the temps, the jackson five and blue magic. Bobby has always been considered the David Ruffin of New Edition just based upon the fact David and Bobby have a similar attitude as people and showmanship as performers.
@dapdaddy10 stop trying to start something that is not an issue they are all brothers and they came up together ... Plus Bobby And J.G are two different types of Singers I am sure J.G can't do What Bobby Does and it's the Same thing with Bobby ... so just shut it ... stop hating!
This is fitting because NE and the tempts similarities are uncanny , Eddie Kendricks =Ralph Tresvant ,Otis Williams = Micheal Bivins , Melvin Franklin = Ronnie Devoe , David Ruffins = Bobby Brown , Dennis Edwards = Johnny Gill and Paul Williams = Ricky bell
@afrosensuous Since when was NE known for their vocals? Johnny obviously gave them vocal credibility, but they were always known for their dance routines, showmanship, charisma and catchy songs that went with it. Does Michael Jackson lose swagger points because some of his legendary performances weren't sung live, or needed background singers to hit his notes? NO! Michael still owned the stage when he was on it, and so did New Edition.
A whole lot of biased B.S.! Why compare who's better within a group. Totally unnecessary! However, I think J.G. is a little overbearing, tho. He over sings like he's in church. I ain't mad at him tho. His voice is BEAUTIFULLY POWERFUL! Not hating, everybody has their own Unigue Talents. Just enjoy their MUSICAL Gifts without all the scrutiny & bashing. Personally for me it's always been RALPH , BOBBY & RICKY for me. I still like JOHNNY tho! 4 members can really sing RONNIE & M.B. are more like back-up Singers / Rappers. Regardless As a group their far more SUPERIOR to anyone before or after. Maybe equivalent to the TEMPTATIONS! NEW EDITION 4 EVER!!!! 👌😊✌💯
I truly love New Edition but they can NEVER be as smooth as The Temptations.♥♥♥ (: Both of that group have a big impact on my taste in music!!! And many others of course. ;D
@afrosensuous...there's no way you can make a New edition point by using Michael Jackson. that's like justifying Lebron james by using Michael Jordan. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis revived their music career, so it was the music that kept them afloat. If you're a music consumer, then I can understand you being highly mistaken. Swagger is for egotostical underachievers that need something to maake theem look cool to others.
@blkd25 No, that's not swagger. 5 guys on stage and they STILL need background singers. It takes mopre than doing the steps to do motown stuff. That deep voice you hear is the background vocalists. new Edition was cute back in the day, but they cannot harmonize like they should. The only REAL vocalist is Johnny Gill.
To piggy back off an earlier comment about bobby snatching the mic off like Ruffin I thought a scene would go something like this...(if you saw the movie temptations) Ain't nobody coming to see you Ralph!! You wish you can work it like me cause there is only one bobby brown and without bobby brown it's just another group in search of bobby brown
What is up with the little bounce at the beginning? Grown men doing steps that a 3 year old can do. You cant perform the Temptation with that little bounce LOL.....But they sound good. *Love New Edition*
Folks, we all love Ralph but let's get real...his voice has always been very weak. Johnny simply took 'My Girl' to a whole different plateau! I mean....think about it...David Ruffin's vocals done by Ralph? Johnny had to rescue the song. I do love Ralph though, but he was way out of his element.
What an honor to be performing Temp classics
Great performance and they still got it with or without Bobby Brown.
There is. No other group out there that can top New Edition #1 fan
Super Dope!! They TOTALLY KILLED THAT!! LOVE watching it over and over 💝
New edition did a superb job
New has always been a group who was known for dancing more than vocals.
"NE" is the second version of the "TEMPS"hands down & "RICKY" opened so cool his vocals are so underrated & we already knew "JOHNNY" would come through because he has strong vocals !
If NE had came up the same time as the Temp's,NE would have been the greatest group and is in my opinion, the greatest singing and dance group that ever lived.
I can't think of any other group that is qualified or deserves to do this tribute, great job!!
I remember when NE were young and the comparison was made between them and the Temptations. I can't believe I actually got a chance to see them peform the Temptations classics. This is an Awesome! Great Performance!!!!

Ricky did an grand job he saaang that song and of course Johnny nailed his part he makes any song sound 10xs better Ralph is untouchable Mj reincarnated then my luv Ronnie his swag is so sexy his low keyness makes him so handsom sexyand phenominal and last but never the least Mike Bivens hes jst gorgeous and fly
They're like the Temptations and J5 all one
You can't give Johnny Gill the mic!!! Get it Johnny!!!
Only "NE" could have pulled this off..great job fellas!!

JG's voice was on target in this
Talent. all walks of life and lessons that come with them. Great movie and epic performance.
Sure can't. He will make it all about himself. Smh...

Fantastic NE and JG!
2:50 i was looking for Bobby Brown to run on stage and snatch the mic out of Jonny Gill's hands and start singing like David Ruffin did LOL.
They don't make them like this anymore. New Edition are true legends just like the Temptations.
They just make me cry 😢
now thats a tribute
Johnny Gill was a great addition to New Edition, he took their sound from the bubble gum pop to real grown folk R&B, and he definitely appears to be less trouble than Bobby Brown
Yep love Johnny Gill. He like in 2 groups and a solo artist. LSG New Edition and him alone.
Awesome keep it up NE For life love You all
mo jazz
mo jazz
But
Bobby ls still many
people's favorite
BOBBY h8rz???? 😳😲😬😵
New Edition might not have 5 quality singers like the Temptations, but live they do sing all there songs and backgrounds. They are indeed some good singers don't be fool by this performance.

sing it babies xoxo
yassssssssss johnny gill!
JOHNNY G ! !
@blkd25
if you think that was swag,The original Temps invented swagger
He drives me crazy with the extraness, but you gotta luv him.
Why is it that real groups/singers like this are performing in theaters and no talents like Justin Bieber is selling out arenas and stadiums?
@imaqtee1 that bounce step is identical to what the Temps did
@dapdaddy10 stop trying to start something that is not an issue they are all brothers and they came up together ... Plus Bobby And J.G are two different types of Singers I am sure J.G can't do What Bobby Does and it's the Same thing with Bobby ... so just shut it ... stop hating!

Spot on
My is Laquanna Doctor i,m from Charlseton sc man New Edition man yall kill it I'm from Charleston SC
where the hell is Ronnie? i can't seem to place him. the quality of the video is just what it is>>>old.

Johnny Gill Easily outsings any other member of the group
I agree. He has a soulful voice. They really have 3 lead singers to me. Ralph Johnny and Ricky.
Terror Force Wrestling that's one of the reasons they signed him. Felt like he brought a maturity to the group
A whole lot of biased B.S.! Why compare who's better within a group. Totally unnecessary! However, I think J.G. is a little overbearing, tho. He over sings like he's in church.

when was this? is this in 2010?
@Miskalomie This was around October 2004
now now now let's play nice on here loves :)
when was this?
I truly love New Edition but they can NEVER be as smooth as The Temptations.♥♥♥ (: Both of that group have a big impact on my taste in music!!! And many others of course. ;D
Ambedo, of course they could never be The Temptation. Stupid...
Nice
Sing Ricky
They were better off without Bobby Brown.
Now you can't tell me that Bobby could have held it down like Johnny.
@afrosensuous...there's no way you can make a New edition point by using Michael Jackson. that's like justifying Lebron james by using Michael Jordan.

@Miskalomie 2004 love :)
@dapdaddy10 Whats with the Bobby dis he became bigger than any1 in New Edition.
@MEKABESTOFRNB Maaaaann.
@blkd25 And you know this :)
Damn, that was fun, but they got singers in the band. That's who's singing that nice ass harmony! Booooooooooooooooo!!!!!
@blkd25 No, that's not swagger. 5 guys on stage and they STILL need background singers. It takes mopre than doing the steps to do motown stuff. That deep voice you hear is the background vocalists. new Edition was cute back in the day, but they cannot harmonize like they should. The only REAL vocalist is Johnny Gill.

You wish you can work it like me cause there is only one bobby brown and without bobby brown it's just another group in search of bobby brown
Lol I wish they would have acted it out like that. Lol
Jewel Bug mannn love this lol
lol me too
What is up with the little bounce at the beginning? Grown men doing steps that a 3 year old can do. You cant perform the Temptation with that little bounce LOL.....But they sound good. *Love New Edition*
Folks, we all love Ralph but let's get real...his voice has always been very weak. Johnny simply took 'My Girl' to a whole different plateau! I mean....think about it...David Ruffin's vocals done by Ralph? Johnny had to rescue the song. I do love Ralph though, but he was way out of his element.
Byron Lee i agree ralph voice is to weak to sing a David Ruffin lead song.
They got background singers.....that sucks and is disrespectful to the Temps, who sang all their own shit.
They got background singers.....that sucks and is disrespectful to the Temps, who sang all their own shit. Booooooooo!!!!
I love new edition but they did not do the temptations justice
