Yes, you are right, this guys have worked over past decades, they should be billionaires now.

I don't know about them all being billionaires. But they definitely should have way more than what they got. A lot of stars have been cheated bad. Especially black groups💯

Yeah billions is a stretch lol. They should have had several millions at this stage with the amount of hits they had, the touring and the records sold.

randallicious729 $1.87...I can't even imagine coming back on tour and all along I've been waiting on a big check and rubbing my hands together to my bewilder I see that a dollar -eighty-seven check, I'll be pissed!!

Taheel Jagun when he said can yall buy popcorn now, ralph wasclike uh, um

Tj Clark Ricky was a good singer but he wouldn't have succeeded as a solo artist. He doesn't have that star power and charisma. Just watch the video One More Day.

Tj Clark Ricky is the most versatile of the group. He showed em on that Home Again album. It was his moment to shine!

Mike Bronx What? You go watch the Something in your eyes video. He has charisma! He is slickkkkk.

Betty Millz If Ricky was all that you say he is where was his solo career? *crickets* He didn't have s Sensitivity. Nothing. My point exactly. Girl byeeeee

TeeTeeTooSweet you sound dumb as hell. He was the first lead singer. They had Ralph sing lead cause he was a MJ copycat not cause he was the best vocally. Ricky didn't want to have a solo career although he did an album. He was all about the team. And for the record he did sing ALOT on the Home Again album and the One Love. You Ralph fanatics are funny as hell! Bye

@Devron Scott and he not gonna respond to you that was 2 years ago

@@isaacleavy340 So what. Theres no time limit on KZfaq comments.

@@claricelyles8398 I get that it was jus a joke

Amen to that!!

They was trying to tell us from the jump!!

😂😂😂😂

yeah sick of being in new edition. lol

Blessed Foreman Doing drugs lmao

Yup. I think every boyband had like a "Bobby Brown" type badboy. Even with The Backstreet Boys in 2001 with AJ, he missed some interviews when he was dealing with his drug and alcohol issues and they had to lie. New kids had Donnie Wahlberg, Take That had Robbie Williams, etc.

That's the excuse they say for any member if a singing group who may be laid out drunk, drugged up or partied out from the night before. Nothing new with the "he sick" excuse.

curli-lettey "laid out drunk"😂😂😂Got Dawgg lol

Nah... Bobby didn't wanna be Ralph, Ralph was too squicky clean, and so were the others, Bobby was more street... He wanted to be Bobby within the group, and it wasn't happening... That's why he left.

no thats what he said because he didnt want to admit hes jealous

Bobby was more successful than the group itself, Ralph, Johnny & BBD... What was there to be jealous of?

the whole shit happened before he went solo. he was jealous of the attention Ralph was getting at the NE concerts all of the other members were

If you a fan of New Edition you would've known that NOLA....that was public knowledge.

jeanette terry I AGREE 🤗 HE WAS SO SWEET 💗

😁😁🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

😂

I think they called it s curl back then

It's just Dax wave grease - not a perm. My hair (I had some) looked the same way. Some Dax and a wave cap was all you needed.

I'm a lil kid in one day my group gone be called next edition yep umm

😂🤣🤣🤣 they all tried to play it off 😂🤣

IG: NaturallyPaige_ adorable !

IG: NaturallyPaige_ theres only so much you can include

Shay White Remember the low budget commercials they had back then bet has came a long way

MELANIN GODDESS he might have been. Bobby left in 85... this interview was in 84.

Betty Millz didn't ask you. Keep it movin' boo👋👋👋👋

@@NOTRUMPZONE That was kinda rude

@@abraham_benson_official I'll mail you some Kleenex..... Don't bother replying. You're muted 🙄🥴

@@NOTRUMPZONE Honestly, you’re just rude. Get some help

Bobby was being a rebel

Especially Ralph's

And thats how BBD Was Created

on the r&b tip

With a pop feel appeal to it...

He is not sick

Mannn 😭😂😂😂😂

Nah, Bobby saying he wasn't the leader of the group like he planned, didn't mean he wanted to be Ralph...IMO...To me, it meant he wanted to be the leader, period. They stayed doing bubble gum music that he couldn't continue to do. The sequins that they wore, the colorful clothes, certain songs they did... He had no say so. MCA was centered on Ralph as the lead singer, of course, but Ralph was a puppet like the rest of em & Bobby no longer wanted to be apart of that. Had nothing to do with wanted to be Ralph, he wanted to be an artist and it just wasn't allowed. Being jealous of someone breeds envy, and Bobby couldn't have been that jealous or envious of Ralph, seeing as though they were the tightest of em all...Even after he initially left the group, as Ralph always put during the 30th anniversary tour. Whether he was voted out or kicked out, ain't no way he would've stayed long enough to do the "Under The Blue Moon" record... There's a big difference in that record & the King of Stage record... Two totally different styles... And that's why he dipped

+NOLA soulchild ...well I personally use to talk too" Mike" and that's the story I got from him....Bobby wanted the spotlight on him and they wasn't having it!

+Will Chill You're right, but, I recall Mike, saying that onstage in the mid 80's, he felt like Bobby felt like the audience was feeling everybody, but they was really feeling him, so he'd strip, hump speakers and all that, but Mike also said that they were too young to realize he was turning into his "Bobby" persona, and growing out of their kiddy image and turning into the superstar he eventually became. All of them wanted to keep going with the flow of doing what they were told to maintain a certain image, and he was the only one supposedly messing it up because he didn't wanna keep wearing what they told them to wear and sing what other ppl wanted them to sing. He wasn't messing it up, he was just the first to rebel against it. Still, I don't believe he was trying to be Ralph because, no disrespect to Ralph bc that's my dude too, but Ralph was, and still is, the least successful of em all... And, in no way am I trying discredit Ralph or his accomplishments, but he only have but a few songs I actually like, but Bobby, BBD and even Johnny have more songs and solo performances that are classics... Even here in 2016, Bobby still has solo concerts, so does BBD, so does Johnny... You'll only see Ralph in New Edition...

+NOLA soulchild ....but at the end of the day Ralph and Bobby became best friends throughout the ups and downs!!!

+Will Chill Absolutely! Do you know when they originally reunited onstage after 1985?

Kemi M. I can't stand Mike's hammerhead ass.

lol they wanted to tell so bad😂😂😂

Angie JW Lol, smh!! The way Ralph was like"Sometimes sometimes." 😂😭😭

True it was sad tbh all that work to end up with nothing to really show for it

kimmie pie Exactly, I'm just so glad everything worked out in the end. Everything just took time.👌

Dasha Miller true

Yes, he really does in this video. It makes him look even cuter (if that's even possible for him).

he made my heart skip a few beats at that age and still now it skips when I see him. How he maintained his boyish quality amazes me.

I truly adore their honesty! They said they are loving what they do however they are tired. They said Bobby is sick 😷!Haha ha! I love and appreciate all the gentlemen in the group!

Me and Mike have been married in my head for 30 years. lol.

Tiffany Freeman Ronnie was always mine 😂😍

Rhonda Young...me and you just got married in my head baby!

Monique Charbonneau same

Just another KZfaq cat Lol

When he was actually out messing wit girls and doing drugs.

Only thing is....he cant sing. Never could. He knew that shit too. That was why he was so extra. Cut to 35 years later and he is the reason the group is divided. So sick of him.

@@Monique-im2wg now why you lying ... everyone knows bobby could sing

@@augustscott6712 Bobby said HIMSELF in his own book that he knew he wasn't a strong singer so je danced hard asf. Wtf are you talking about? Bobby could never really sing. Especially LIVE.

​@@Monique-im2wgbobby could sing. Just not as good compared to Rizz, Ricky and Johnny lol

@@FreshPrincex4 He said he couldn't sing in his book. As much as he lies... He was truthful about that. His dancing and antics made ppl forget he can't really sing. He's a studio singer.

Kasey Love lol!

Kasey Love

That's how I used to wear my hair lol

Vera mickey it’s a shag

i had that hairstyle till my uncle chopped it off

Yes it was exactly on point even the song,

Xmarks.daspot G was you there when they first met?

A1 AC were you?

He just explained it exactly like the movie

Xmarks.daspot G thats not what I asked you & thats not the point I was trying to make with my statement. I’m saying This video described the way they met differently from the movie.

David Richardson I have a feeling this scene will be in the movie in short form probably end where they say "he's sick".

DoubleO88 Or they'll paint over it. BET should start uploading _all_ interviews from each member or reair them for the upcoming movie. That would be fat!
