Too much fukkery as adult men that cannot be ignored.

Johnny Gill's voice is top 3 with Luther and Donny Hathaway.

Johnny nice and everything but stop it.

so why give them a 9?

It's a matter of personal taste. I didn't start listening to them heavily until their tv movie dropped. When I think of 10's, I think of J5. E,W&F. Temptations....groups who dominated every facet of music be it charts, sales, tours. Everything. New Edition never had major chart success which surprised me. They never appealed to the masses at the levels of the aforementioned groups either.

Those groups could go anywhere on the planet and sell out shows. New Edition couldn't do that. That's why they stop at a 9 for me.

song still gets me in my feelings to this day. i'mma give em a 7 though cause I never fukked with them that heavy and I think they are SLIGHTLY overrated.


They were better as solo acts though

 

[Milk N Cookies]

I wouldn't go that far but I would say Blaque song with JT Chavez>>>

I dont how off that is, if you gave blaque beyonce's father, he was the X factor that makes the difference

They’re Blaque with better press

Let’s not get crazy. Blaque will always be the 2nd string TLC. 3LW is a 3rd place Blaque.

Nah not necessarily. N.E was not an Eartb shattering group. They didn't change the landscape of music. They definitely left their mark but they are just a 80s/90s group. They are not all time.

10.....know I am late to the party, but from the solo projects, splinter groups, and contribution to New Jack Swing and R&B, yeah, they got it....

"Can You Stand The Rain" is a timeless classic....
