U cant really say. As teens theyre better with Bobby. But as grown men theyre better with Johnny. NE with a Teenage Johnny wouldnt have worked.
Was New Edition Better Off Without Bobby Brown?

It was really the best outcome for both parties. Bobby was better off solo, and NE made their best album with Johnny. Since they’re all under the NE umbrella, they’ll always be able to travel with a different combination of members if needed.
In fact, Johnny really excelled in a group platform (Stacey Lattisaw, NE, LSG) & collaborating with other artists. It just works so well with his voice.
Bobby really excelled as a solo artist. His best shyt was by himself.

Johnny Gil for me was better than Bobby singing wise to make the group complete
Bobby was just better at the dancing and bullshyt that made him good for that short run he had.
Meanwhile Johnny still out here droppin hits

This is some revisionism
Ralph Tresvant was the star of the group and the lead singer. Bobby was a background breh who got fortunate that he got hooked up with Babyface. Bobby Brown was “not New Edition,” if he was the group wouldn’t have produced their best work and sell their most records without him.
Thats not hating on Bobby because I remember when Bobby had his Michael Jackson-like run from 88-90.

“Girrrrl..
You’re so pretty…
I wouldn’t change a thing about youuuuu…”
“Saaaa-orrrrrry”
This is their swaggiest song ever.
Agreed. I’m just saying how it all got started. My mom and her siblings grew up around and had interactions with them .. and family members of theirs. Ralph was the star.

I guess in some ways, since they matured and had Johnny Gill doing vocals. He was clearly the best vocalist of them.
Maybe it’s my age, but I liked them as BBD. And Don’t Be Cruel is one of my favorite albums so I liked him better solo.

It's hard for me to answer. There's clear success with and without Bobby Brown.
