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".

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.

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??

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.

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

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

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 grows into his voice. Unmistakable.

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

And in his 50's Ralph still has that soft smooth voice.

"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

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.

"Can you stand the rain" is amazing.

Oh yes! Time for some boy bands from the 80s! Try Bell Biv devoe's poison

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.

"If It Isn't Love" is the next New Edition song you HAVE to listen to!

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.

.....and just like that I am back at the skating rink.

Gotta do Mr. Telephone Man too!!

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.

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!

The boy in the orange sweater is a young Bobby Brown. Whitney's ex husband.

This is 3rd or 4th grade for me. LOVE New Edition. Mr. Telephone Man next, please!

"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.

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

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!!! 😉❤✌🏼

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.

For the love... you gotta do Alabama Shakes - Hold on. Maybe as a female friday. Can anybody back me up on this?

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 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?

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.

Y'all are on top of my jams! This entire Tape is "Fresh" 😂

Awww, I loved them. They were so cute and talented. You should do "Is This the End?"

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.

I grew up with this I no this song by heart love it check out Mr.telephone man

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.

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!

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....

Ralph Tresvant was the lead singer! We girls of the eighties loved his voice! This was early New Edition and definitely early puberty voices!

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!!

Hey guys, I just want to tell you that the reason why Ralph's voice is so high is because they recorded the song about 2 or 3 years before they filmed the video, so basically before he hit puberty. Lol I love your reaction videos btw! ❤

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.

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!! ❤🎵🎶🎤

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.

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.

My first concert was New Edition 😁

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!

I still know the raps in this by heart! One of the first albums I ever bought.
