My opinion Ricky's voice was very much overlooked by the officials involved . But Ralph was and is the voice of NE you could never move a car without the motor . He was the front man then and he's the front man now.
When Ralph hit "Sensitivity" I literally bust out in tears! This song brings me back to my younger years and feeling like I knew what love was. Puppy love and heartbreak. It was such an innocent time. That song brings tears of joy to my eyes :)
I agree. It is difficult being to sing lead and dance at the same time but Ralph does it with ease and perfection. It is Ralph's voice we hear as lead vocalist on most of New Edition's songs and honestly how I identify their songs. Give this man credit and his flowers.
Ricky is a very very talented singer also can't nobody do Johnny but Johnny Johnny can hold the stage by his damn self but I love me some Ralph he was the Michael Jackson to the group he had that soft and sexy thing he had that s******* about himself you can never replace his his presence NE for life 🎉❤❤
Bobby is Bobby can't be replaced either he the Man's every little step I'm glad those brothers can put things aside n love one another also love us enough to keep us entertained NE for LIFE 🧬
The greatest group of all time! No group has been as successful as New Edition except some of the ones before them. 40 years in the business, still on fire. Wardrobe still on fire also!!
These guys are still killing it!! They seem to get better every week since their comeback. The very end of this video was absolutely prefect,with Ralph.
NE has a LOT of talent...but the FRONT man is "most" important!...Ralph is classy/smooth...brings each song to life....stage presence is masterful...stays in great shape...GREAT leader...allows "others" to shine..(wish he would add a few more of his solo hits to their shows)...he has "it"....but does NOT grandstand...his talent/effort/humility makes him one of the TOP front men of ALL-TIME!!!!...hope the other gentlemen truly appreciate him now!(and when he "carried" the group to stardom)....the incomparable Ralph TRESVANT!!!
OMG, You summed up Ralph to a TEE. I agree 1000%. and yes, he should sing more solo songs. Ralph's energy, ability to connect to the audience, ability to fall in line on the stage, while singing 90% of the songs is just AMAZING!! He is the TOTAL package!!
Ralph is good but let’s be honest, vocally, he can’t touch Johnny. Compared to the other members, Ralph’s solo project have been a flop. Johnny has more hits than anyone in the group; that’s just a fact
I am so glad that NE are singing the hit songs from the groups that influenced them so that their music doesn't go away since many of them are passing on now 😢. The music from those eras was so good. Thank you NE for keeping this music alive.
❤ this is when music was music ❤ i have been a big fan since the 80's❤ they are the best of the best ❤ with the great hip cool moves they do❤ love you guys ❤
After 7, New Edition, 112, and Jagged Edge have to be some of my FAVORITE male groups ever! Time has done NOTHING to stop New Edition from doing their thing! LOVE seeing them perform with unity and strength! They didn’t allow the greed or corruption to break their bond! Continued blessings from GOD, for them and their families. ❤
There is no New Edition without Ralph is true and Ricky Bell is awesome in the group cause he steps up as lead singer when he is needed and Johnny Gill is also awesome when he steps up in his lead songs and Bobby Brown shows out in his lead songs in the group.The whole group is Awesome cause they all play a part and together they are the New Edition.Brothers forever ❤❤ and my NE4life ❤❤❤
"THERE'S NO NEW EDITION WITHOUT RALPH TRESVENT"! That may be a true statement But Everyone else in the Group has their own Name and don't need NE but Ralph Needs NE
All 6 members are important but don't forget that it was Ralph Tresvant who initially pushed aside his own solo career so that his friends would be included. The other members will never be able to make that claim. #AllSIX #NEWEDITION4LIFE
Ralph is NE and it’s been that way from Day One, So when you think of a music catalog by and artist Ralph has one of the best and biggest with his solo and then his NE stuff were he sing 95% of lead on everything NE.
Nobody who’s and NE4Lifers are going to see NE without Ralph Tresvant he’s the reason why they are were they are Today, Just imagine had Ralph took that solo Record Deal @ 12yrs old # Would the world know the others members Period.
Thank you for typing this! Yes all of the members are important but had Ralph not sacrificed his solo career and brought the rest of the guys along for the ride there might not be a New Edition today.
When they first started, it was Ralph's voice that propelled them. He had the voice that Maurice Starr was looking for and that's why he sang most of the lead vocals. They all knew it. They were jealous. It's all good though. He needed them as much as they needed him. I wish that he was more successful because he has everything needed to be a superstar: Looks, beautiful voice, style, charisma, dance moves, entertainer factor, hard worker, etc. He needed the right songs and the right breaks. I think his best performances are when all six of them are together. He just rises to the occasion and shines like a bright star. He's outstanding and without him, the group would be missing a key component. Love them all, but he is my absolute FAVE! I think what the headline meant, is that when you hear most of the NE songs, it's Ralph's voice that is most recognizable. It doesn't mean that the other members are less important. When those other guys tour without him, they don't make it a habit to sing the songs where Ralph is lead, because they know the songs won't have the same authenticity. Also, before the group became famous, Maurice Starr wanted to sign him and not the others because he saw so much talent in him. Ralph refused and advocated for the whole group. Give him some props. The headline is accurate. Peace and love!
One of the hurts I have about everyone's albums is a few things: Timing Writer Producers' choicing who they wanted for their songs Song choice. Ralph had Sensitivity. Last Night. Do What I Gotta Do. Stone Cold Gentleman. Yes. His album didn't smack as powerful as any of them. That is because the writers were hellbent on promoting JG, BBD and Bobby had already crushed it. In that, many songs that were chosen had been passed up by others and these guys chose them. Rock Witcha was meant for JG. Poison was Al B. Sure's comeback song. My,My,My was I think either for another artist, or specifically written for JG. Ralph is the only guy who didn't have that special moment. Plus, we have how many albums with him as front man? His Sophomore album is underated especially Sexo. All that said, the order of albums: Bobby Don't Be Cruel Bobby Johnny Gill Rub You... Stone Cold Gentleman Mastersuite Sexo Bobby's debut
LIES look at the writing credits in Ralph’s album ..he had heavy horses on there the problem is HIM …he just doesn’t have the IT as a solo act …just like Tony Thompson didn’t have it alone and Coko didn’t have it alone . No matter what kind of excuses y’all make for Ralph the facts statistics and data say differently
I have my guy Rizzo as the number 1 as a front man! Most people would say MJ! The difference is Ralph knows how to let the other 5 shine when it’s their turn .
LMFAO - there is no Ralph Tresvant without new edition as evidenced by the facts statistics and data …this is why the others are still able to tour WITHOUT New Edition
I guess it just rubs some people the wrong way to admit that those careers that the other members have were the result of Ralph Tresvant choosing to take a backseat so that his friends could ride with him and eventually ride on their own. Checkmate!!!!
@@LoveUnconditional777 I guess some people hate to admit Ralph only has a semblance of a career because a group that was formed before and without him brought him in….like Marc Gordon left Boyz II Men and they STILL prospered without him ….1 monkey don’t stop no show
Y’all am I the only one who’s been buying New Edition expensive gifts in my head for their 40th anniversary but has to bill their wives to pay for them??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 NE4Life 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
There no NE without all 6 and Brooke Payne. This is a super group which every single member is a star in there own right.
ABSOLUTELY 💯
nah they've done it successfully without Bob twice.
"With deepest respect it's always amazing seeing all 6 of them perform together and each of them has individual talent ."
@@dolly24242it is great to see all 6 but the comment remains true, NE is successful without Bobby
Well. Give huge props to Micheal Biden’s for insisting that the group get heard. 😂. Alright, alright. 😂
Ricky is so underrated as a lead vocal.
Are You Kidding? That's Ricky Bell! That's the "Tell Me When Will I See You Smile Again" Crooner!
Ricky Bell has the original New Edition sound. He’s the voice of New Edition.
My opinion Ricky's voice was very much overlooked by the officials involved . But Ralph was and is the voice of NE you could never move a car without the motor . He was the front man then and he's the front man now.
@@queenscott4572Well said. Very spoken.
How come he is underrated? He played his part that's required. He's a member of the Greatest group of all time....
Greatest boy band of all time… The incomparable New Edition ♥️
Omg. I love this. I’m
Coming to Vegas! I gotta see this.
40 years after and they still rock...and groove like never before....Nice touch of style n class❤
There's no NE without Ralph, Ricky, Ronnie , Mike, Johnny, Bobby and the King Brooke Payne.
Negative!...I've seen shows WITHOUT johnny...ricky...mike...ronnie..bobby....NO NEW EDITION show without RALPH!(if we can handle the TRUTH)
Big facts
Amen😏
There was NE without Bobby so for me he is not necessary. However, him being with the group ain’t terrible.
@@carlosdupree4033 You are riding Ralph's tip hard lol. Is there something you want to tell us?
People have hyped Ralph up for decades but failed to support his solo project, baffling.
Right!
So true. I remember when he came out, I definitely supported his solo music. Got the album and the singles. It was tapes for me back then.
Just not a strong solo artist
Your hating. He charted in 1990 top 20 R&B WENT PLATINUM THE FIRST YEAR AND TOP OUT AT DOUBLE PLATINUM STATUS. Black folks bought records.
Ralph is the biggest phone ever.
When Ralph hit "Sensitivity" I literally bust out in tears! This song brings me back to my younger years and feeling like I knew what love was. Puppy love and heartbreak. It was such an innocent time. That song brings tears of joy to my eyes :)
I agree. It is difficult being to sing lead and dance at the same time but Ralph does it with ease and perfection. It is Ralph's voice we hear as lead vocalist on most of New Edition's songs and honestly how I identify their songs. Give this man credit and his flowers.
Ralph tresvant.song he' still looks good ❤
40 years, and they still got it….😊😊💯👍👍
Outstanding very professional group. You have to stay in shape to keep up with NE. No messing around.
That's why I wish Jodeci, Boys II Men, Jagged Edge, Intro, Today, Force MDs and the number 2 band Troop were still in it today.
Facts!! Ralph is the ❤️
All 6 band members is the 🖤🤎 🤣🤣
Facts! Ralph is definitely the heart of New Edition. It was him sacrificing his own solo career that gave them the opportunity.
Till the end of time, all 6 amazingly talented men 👑💐 make an iconic New Edition 🔥💯
Ricky is a very very talented singer also can't nobody do Johnny but Johnny Johnny can hold the stage by his damn self but I love me some Ralph he was the Michael Jackson to the group he had that soft and sexy thing he had that s******* about himself you can never replace his his presence NE for life 🎉❤❤
I wouldn’t say that Bobby wasn’t made for the background his solo was amazing bobby did well as a solo artist
Bobby is Bobby can't be replaced either he the Man's every little step I'm glad those brothers can put things aside n love one another also love us enough to keep us entertained NE for LIFE 🧬
Ralph and Ricky's voices still sounds great ❤
True title!! There's no New Edition without Ralph!!!
LIES 🙄The band is not called ralph Tresvant and the fabulous 5 🤣😂
Facts! There's no NE without Ralph. Had Ralph not sacrificed for the group there would be no New Edition point blank period
The greatest group of all time! No group has been as successful as New Edition except some of the ones before them. 40 years in the business, still on fire. Wardrobe still on fire also!!
Ralph is my baby ❤❤❤
We love Ralph 💗
These guys are still killing it!! They seem to get better every week since their comeback. The very end of this video was absolutely prefect,with Ralph.

Yes
Ralph is good but let’s be honest, vocally, he can’t touch Johnny. Compared to the other members, Ralph’s solo project have been a flop. Johnny has more hits than anyone in the group; that’s just a fact
@@drewferguson2450 RALPH SOLO PROJECT WAS NOT A FLOP. RALPH WENT PLATINUM.
Sensitivity is alltime jam but that new song all mine is nice and slept one,money can’t buy love one my favorite songs too!
I agree❤❤❤
Yep
I am so glad that NE are singing the hit songs from the groups that influenced them so that their music doesn't go away since many of them are passing on now 😢. The music from those eras was so good. Thank you NE for keeping this music alive.
Ralph was that guy. He never got his R&B 👑
Johnny is the GOAT
"Respectfully Johnny's voice was mature for his age from the beginning and his voice has an amazing distinct sound ."
Ralph is the MAN! HE CAN SING, DANCE AND HAS CLASS!!!! HE IS FINE TOO!❤❤❤❤
Let's go to Ralph T's Fountain of Youth Camp!🎉
Loving "The Spinners" rendition.
Can't believe I. Tearing up. Those songs brought back sooo many good memories . Go head Ralph 🎁💐
Love me some Ralph. Ricky is still the man too....yessss.
❤ this is when music was music ❤ i have been a big fan since the 80's❤ they are the best of the best ❤ with the great hip cool moves they do❤ love you guys ❤
The closest group to the Jackson 5
N.E in the early years with candy girl,N some other tracks
"better" than the JACKSON 5!(NO "group" in history has DID what NE has done)....#facts
Seriously what ⁉
After 7, New Edition, 112, and Jagged Edge have to be some of my FAVORITE male groups ever! Time has done NOTHING to stop New Edition from doing their thing! LOVE seeing them perform with unity and strength! They didn’t allow the greed or corruption to break their bond! Continued blessings from GOD, for them and their families. ❤
Ricky could have easily been the lead singer. It’s called aesthetics.
Rizzo is my favorite always and forever ❤❤Ricky bell is so underrated ❤❤
They are a Group and still vibrant grew up on these Bad Boys
THEY ARE ALL SIGNIFICANT IN MY BOOK
THEY HAVE ALL WORKED HARD AND SHOWED UP.
BRAVO. TO ALL 😊

Love always.Bad ass group!!!
Ricky: y’all had y’all nap today?
😂😂😂😂
He is definitely the sound of NE, but they all bring something to the table.

All the guys are part of the group, and all work within the group. Personally, I adore Ronnie.
LEGENDARY 👑 (n.e) 1#HOLY SPIRIT 🔥
This dude (Ralph) is soooooooo smooth! I saw them at Essence Fest in 22 and can't wait to see them in Vegas!!
There is no new edition without any one of them! 🤦♂️
Stop (trying) to change the title! Uncover Hater!!!😅

The number may be 6 but it was 1 Ralph Tresvant who sacrificed to help the entire group rise. Lest we not forget.
40 YEARS WOW
One of the hurts I have about everyone's albums is a few things:

It wouldn't be no new edition without Bobby Brown because he started the group
Love you guys! #NE4LYFE

Y’all am I the only one who’s been buying New Edition expensive gifts in my head for their 40th anniversary but has to bill their wives to pay for them??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 NE4Life 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Stop hating on Ralph y'all 😅
Agreed.
Why Ricky look different🧐🤔 did he do something to his face or forehead???
NE!!!!!❤
Ralph Tresvant is sexy
Sing 🎤 College Girl
Spell the man's name right..."TRESVANT"
Naps yesss
Tresvant
Lies there would be 🙄NO New Edition without all 6 band members the group is not called Ralph Tresvant and the fabulous 5🤣🤣
Johnny not singing all that dam yelling hit some notes sir
Bobby can’t keep up.
Tresvant, btw
TRESVANT* 🫡💯
All statements are true, but It all started with BOBBY, just saying.
Ralph is my favorite but you are 100% correct! It was definitely Bobby's group first.
JG is a bad dude!
They did ok in this video without Ralph.
We're fat bobby brown at
Sing 🎤 Spending Time
? I want Bobby Brown when solo they can't touch Bobby
NE is __________
Walking back and fouth is not a show really miss the Temps.No Samples.
Ricky Bell is the most talented artist in that group, he’s the best singer in the band. Anybody can be replaced
Ralph cant sing anymore i am disappointed what happened to him vocally wtf.
TO THE KINGS OF RNB WHICH YOU'RE NOT YOUR COMMENT IS TOTAL BULLSHIT
