    No comparison...New Edition. But kudos to B2M...they are paying homage in a beautiful way

      "No comparison" was my first thought when I saw the title lol. Even the music NE did as kids outweighs B2M discography

      Cant compare
      Cause they are different renditions and styles all.together.
      Different feels.
      Both give me.different emotions.
      NE versions
      Id say more light hearted.
      B2M
      More contemplative
      If that makes any sense lol
      U get it

    After listening to both groups, I give props to both groups for holding it down. However, I give much more respect to Boyz ll Men because they did their own rendition of "Can You Stand The Rain" in a Capella. That shows me that whether it's with music or not, they can beast the song. If you get N.E. to do it in a Capella, do you think the sound will still be there? Overall, madd respect to both groups for doing their thing.

    @mgsee 4 роки тому +8

    New Edition has more emotional clarity for me. The lead vocals of the other version undermines this clarity with all the twiddly 'vocal effects' he deploys that might be skilful but which, for me, detracts from the emotional flow contained in the melody. A lot of vocalists, especially these days, need to remember that often less is more.

  • @MiserableMovieMan
    @MiserableMovieMan 3 роки тому +1

    I think in terms of a complete song you have to give it to NE. However the B2M version, which is the one I grew up with has a certain poignancy to it. I also think B2M have more singers in their group and it shows in the power of their voices. Doing it acapella gives it a very different feel. I love both and switch between them depending on my mood. Wanya usually can’t be topped but Johnny Gill’s whoah-ooh-oh-ooh-ohhhhhh! definitely has the edge for me in the bridge.

    @lwills8609 4 роки тому +1

    I listened to New Edition's version all the way through. When Boyz II Men began, I knew I was ready to comment...I waited. I waited until halfway through Boyz II Men's version.
    I grew up alongside New Edition. I have enjoyed Boyz II Men (we are the same ages). There is no comparison, NEW EDITION ALL THE WAY.
    When songs are produced and sang to perfection...every other version will fall flat in comparison. Example: Respect by Otis Redding (I am a fan) and Aretha Franklin. Her version was commercially better. There are other songs that are the same way.
    Boyz II Men paid great tribute to New Edition. Boyz II Men's version is good, but, in comparison; New Edition's is better. Footnote: I did not know Boyz II Men recorded this song.

    @karenbaker5232 3 роки тому

    I have to give Boyz II Men the thumbs up on this one. A Cappella requires a special skill to produce pitch and harmony so refined it sounds like a symphony orchestra in the background of the lead singer. There's no comparison to the smooth melodic tones they deliver from deep within their souls minus man made instruments. New Edition is good but Boyz II Men is better.
