The acting was superb but I wish the actors coulda been more similar looking. Maybe I got spoiled by the people who cast the lookalikes for the miniseries "The People vs. OJ". Those actors were SPOT ON lookalikes!
...yeah... ..well.. as nice as his game was... ...his joint couldn't touch bbrown's or BBD... ...I dont think it even out sold johnny's... that's all about talent... ...and the entire NE had that... plus that's Ralph at his best when he's within NE... the others are at their best when they could branch out.... ...just saying...
@@komicboi1623 well he had to change everything he was going to do because he never got a chance to release his debut album so we will never know how successful he could have been
@@komicboi1623 Nah Ralph ended up getting overshadowed. The movie revealed he left a $6 million dollar deal on the table for a solo album to do Heart Break in 1987, and not to mention him being offered a solo deal as a kid but turned it down for the group. He had opportunity to be huge as a solo artist but always put the group first.
I swear Ralph was having such a hard time in this interview. He was the one that was offered a solo career first and turned it down for all of them, to see what it turned into must have hurt him. Hope they all in a better place now. #NEforlife
...but wait, Ralph stans forget that he nearly sabotaged the group in 1986 by not showing up for the Lou Rawls Gold Awards in Memphis, leaving the BBD guys nearly stranded in terms of what they should have performed that night...the next day from out of the blue he springs up the solo album on the rest of the guys....
Well, when you're young and wet behind the ears, swimming in a sea of greedy music executives that constantly gas your head up for their own financial agendas, PLUS your 'friends' are constantly ostracizing you and giving you shit about things that are out of your control (being pushed to the front by management, having all the lead parts etc), immature and impulsive decisions can happen. Was skipping out on the show the right thing to do? Hell no. But I understand why it happened, having witnessed firsthand how the music industry and the politics within can sour so-called "solid" friendships, especially with younger artists. I mean, these guys were still between the ages of 17 and 19 when that show took place. Besides, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Doing that show gave them the confidence to do BBD four years later.
PNdotCom Ralph was not being professional by deliberately missing that show...there's no justification for leaving them hanging...he claims to have been "ostracised" as you Ralph fans tend to believe...but as the leader of the group he surely had something to do with that...possibly a bloated ego that made him wanna see his own group fail and being embarrassed just to prove his "worth" to the group...we talk about how that incident turned into the "blessing" of BBD but it was only because they were strong willed men who decided to keep it going despite the potentially huge setback...plus they said it was Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis who gave them the idea of doing BBD not the Memphis show...so let's not confuse matters here...
We *know* that Jam and Lewis gave them the idea to branch off as BBD. Nobody said that the idea *came* from the Memphis show, but that performance not only proved to *them* that they could make it without Ralph, but it also showed *fans* that there was talent within the group other than just Ralph. Therefore, it's not at all unreasonable to believe that *that experience* played at least a small role in their decision to go on with BBD. I'm fairly certain *that* is what the other person was getting at.
KayJ Wright Yeees he did! I was wondering would Luke pull it off. Because his voice is a lil different from Johnny's. But he took on Johnny's whole personality and he SANG those songs just like Johnny! Only difference is Johnny got that super powerful voice! 😍😍😍💗🎶🎶🎵🎤🎤
so Ralph was the only serious one lol He looked so pissed like when your kids are acting up in public and your debating if going to jail is worth beating dat ass
Xtina J facts she was more interested in BBD she didn't care about Johnny Ralph or New Edition or Bobby she cared about BBD and Ralph was getting really upset about that LOL
He's(Algee) a lot shorter than Ralph, but that scene when he and his ex wife where in the office w/ their attorneys and he had those glasses on and that suit, he looked just like Ralph!!!
Ricky Bells vocals got better and better as time progressed. Ricky Bell's vocals were great on the Poison album. BBD's new album Three Stripes us off the chain! Ricky Bells vocals are phenomenal, DeVoe and Bivins raps are ON POINT too. In a nut shell, the new BBD album is dope!
Truth be told Ricky's vocals have always been on point. He was the original lead singer of NE with Ralph & Bobby as co leads before Streetwise Records made Ralph the frontman. Ricky still sounds the same today while Bobby & Ralph struggle at times while singing live in concert.
Bobby joking but he was dead ass serious.When you're young you don't know how to be open and real.You feel like you're being a punk.If only if Bob would've been more open and responsible it would've never been a break up
True but if he stayed, NE probably would never branch out and do their own albums. The success of Bobby's being out of the group had the group thinking about branching their own careers. I'm glad that all six of them are alive and well today.
Ralph made a lot of sense when he went on the New Edition soliloquy at the end. NE is the mother act and it's a family show., which is why they can't bring their more raunchy solo stuff into it....But also I feel like Ralph at this time was seeking to be recognized for his lead role and outsized contribution to the group's success, but his brothers had all become bigger hits than he did--without him. That must have hurt and that is what I'm seeing from him in this interview.
LyfeMuz Absolutely, you out of all their solo careers he was the least recognized because of the sacrifice he made. I don't know if he'll ever fully get over that.
Ta'Sha Davis. Let's not overdramatize a situation whereby you sound ignorant. Yes, I applaud Ralph for his loyalty because 1. They brought him into the group 2. People in the OP don't get down like that 3. The community would hate him. I am sorry that you feel that way but it is an inaccurate assumption. Bobby and Mike were in a group, Ralph and Ricky were in a group, and Ronnie was in a group. They all stopped, but Bobby continued to be in talent shows because performing was his passion. Mike was into basketball and Ralph was into marital arts. If Bobby had never started the group with the help of friends Mike and Ricky there would not be a Ralph. Bobby brought in Travis and Corey . Sadly one died and the other left. Ricky then brought in Ralph. Brooke brought in his nephew Ronnie. I can't say much for the others but I do believe that there would have been a Bobby Brown regardless of a group. He was destined for greatness. I don't think he would have stopped until he achieved his goal. It was meant for Bobby too get stage fright that day so that NE can be born. Always try to think before you speak.
...exactly..I can see how the BBD guys seem to resent him because he seemed to want to talk for everybody whether they liked it or not...he already was the face of the group...I wonder why he needed to be up in everybody's face, interrupting and speaking for everybody...
Because he was the reason their asses were working! Remember he pushed his album back to work on the group album that nobody helped him with. I would tell them to stfu and listen too. They owed his ass. He had recently turned down yet another solo deal for their ungrateful asses too.
Tia Flores you act like they knew about the first solo deal which they didn't. shit he needs to be grateful too if it wasn't for Mike seeing what was going on they would've still been broke. he can't act like they owe him when he never opened his mouth and said any of the things he gave up for them. they didn't know.
I am dyyyying Lol when Ralph said "Bobby doin his lil Rick James... Bobby you know that was your boy" Hahahaha spot on! He does have Rick James/David Ruffin tendencies and vibes.
King Leno wow that too! I was talking about stage presence and showmanship but you sure are right about that... and Chris Brown is right along and up there with them 👀 wonder why it is the most talented performers go through that time and time again. Pressure to perform maybe?
@@GoodClipsTV he tried that with the "It's Goin Down" album... Didn't work and felt try-hard and inauthentic. He should've done a Justin Timberlake sort of thing: strong choreography, Casanova swag, with some good guy ethic in the mix; but the "stone cold gent" thing and "do what I gotta do" were too on-the-nose and borderline corny... "Sensitivity" worked as a one-off but he should've dug deeper for a more complex and authentic thrust... He was too pressed and self-doubting to approach it level-headedly and really should've started to establish independence from NE. As much as I love "Heart Break", sometimes it seems he should've took that $6 mil deal.
This is gold! The actors nailed this scene/interview! I'm not going to lie, when I saw the cast on BET awards I was like ehhhh idk...they don't really look like them.. but the acting and the singing and the dancing and the souls and personalities of the actor matched so well!!! Astounding! I can see why they chose to cast who they.
if I relate to anybody in New Edition it's Ricky cuz listening to BBD stuff he could SANGGG but with Ralph being the popular one with the girls and his high Michael Like voice he got over shadowed, then Johnny came in and he covers all the lows Ricky had the talent he really did I felt for him watching their biopic
Tia Flores nah he didn't lack good looks, charisma, or showmanship even from the candy girl days. Ralph was just set as the lead. It's the whole "if it isn't broke don't fix it" thing. Rick could've easily sang lead on ne songs and not miss a beat. The man is the most consistent voice in the group.
Johnnifer Washington lol that I am. I grew up listening to them in the 90's as a kid. Glad to see you have good taste in music like this. But you a fellow MJ fan so you know whats good.
Everybody still had big heads back then no way they were ready to tell their story until the appointed time such as now in 2017......almost 30 yrs later from this clip. They went through so much more after this interview. The biopic was one of the best I ever seen! Acting was on point!
That album didn't come out until another six years. They better not play this year though with the new album and concert tours they've announced. Ride that movie momentum!
Poor Ralph man 😔 he carried all of them with that voice and as soon as johnny came they gave him all the credit...Ralph put his album on the shelf to finish the NE album and now as soon as he wants to talk they start talking
Ralph wasn't hogging the interview he was trying to talk game that if they followed then they all would've been worth at least $100 million cause they would've been the 1st to brand & franchise their group in music, movie, TV & fashion while they were in their youth.
I feel as though the best thing they did for Bobby was to kick him out of the group. They still weren't making any money around that time and his solo career took off like a damn rocket...
Notice Johnny wasn't doing the hush it thing with the rest of them. He wasn't as immature and already knew about the times Ralph sacrificed for their ungrateful asses.
Wow, BET did a phenomenal job recreating this scene! It's also unbelievable that these men were in their early twenties at this time! I was just a baby, but my mom loved them!
So many great personalities, so young, so talented, so strong egos, so many conflicting emotions... How did we expect that they would stay together the whole time.
Mannnn I wish they would have put out an album during this time!! Imagine how great it could have been. Word to the Mutha was such a tease of what could have been.
I just finished binge watching all three episodes. God I love these guys. We need a renaissance in black music. BRING BACK REAL MUSIC FOR REAL PEOPLE! Forget about these Minajs and the like.
It's good that BET put out a clearer version of this interview and included the date. The person who posted this interview on youtube years ago didn't include the date so I thought that this took place late in 1990 or early 1991. In the BET movie, they re-created this scene and then skipped over 6 years to 1996 when they actually did the next New Edition album called Home Again. I believe Brooke Payne's character in the movie said something like, "They Had To Do This Album & Tour Because All Of Their 2nd Albums Flopped"!! I guess that's the reason they skipped over everything that happened with New Edition from 1990 to 1996. Bobby's Humpin Around album(which sold a lot, it wasn't really a flop), Bobby marrying Whitney Houston, Bobby getting into trouble all the time and Biv introducing the world to Boyz II Men, ABC and MC Brains(remember him!!) are the notable things that happened with New Edition during those years that they skipped over. Brooke Payne's line about New Edition's 2nd solo projects being flops also got me thinking that they probably should've started recording a New Edition album a couple months after this interview in 1990 like Ralph said. Maybe if that would've happened, they wouldn't have run into the problems they had on the Home Again tour, and the personal problems that resulted from that tour being cancelled. But it looks Mike Bivins had the 'Big Head", thought he was bigger than the group and would've caused conflicts with everyone if they started recording a new album at that time.
1:52 Woman: "Do you all make time to get together?" Group: ".." Ricky: "Hm?" Ralph and Bobby's faces: "Bruh.." 😂😂😂😂😂the cringiest moment of the interview
Wow love this Ralph broke it down explaining their different music ventures damn near just like the movie too frfr n the casting was on point except Ricky Belle lol
Regardless of what, New Edition is one of the most innovative and talented groups of all time, PERIOD. From actual kids on the pop tip like J5 to their grown Temptations vibe in the early Johnny Gill showing, to their New Jack ways with Bobby and BBD and smooth R&B of Ralph and Johnny. Heads of State, RBRM....they find new and inventive ways to showcase themselves...this is my big sister's generation, the music I grew up on as a kid, along with Prince MJ Janet and soooooo much more. 40 years strong and they are ALL still here.....right here these young men in their prime with a plan and to think they and we all can look back at this and say.....damn....what a time to live in. Just think, 20 years ago we got The Temptations movie.....5 years before that, The Jacksons movie...last year and this year brought us The New Edition and Bobby Brown Story. Hoping that future musicians can learn from all of this....
I like the interview. It shows a band of 5 brothers. ( sorry Johnny). They still love each other. and Bobby twirling and messing with Mike is too cute. They were always at odds. but their relationship is genuine.
Ralph has to realize New Edition was his Solo career sort of speak as the lead sing. He song all the parts before Johnny came. And New Editions body of work I think outweighs Bobby, Johnnys and BBDs body of work.
Doc Central NE is Ralph's solo career a lot of people don't get that and in turn I don't think Ralph gets it because people don't respect it. Ralph is the only lead of NE he sings the bulk of NE music the movie told you that. Ralph's voice is what made NE songs so enduring. Bobby got the New Jack sound BBD hip hop smooth out R&B and Johnny grown man take you to church voice along with Ralph's butter soft voice makes these guys so legendary.
Basically!! This is what I have always said. Ralph was the star from 83-86. Jump and Shoot pushed him to be the front man. Ralph tried to leave in 87 and Busby said NO. Busby signed Johnny for Mike & forced Ralph to do another album. in 88 Ralph was over shadowed by Bobby and the rest is history.
Bobby unbothered by whole interview and Woody McClain played hell out him and was it just me or was Ralph throwing shade at everyone whole interview🤣🤣😩 Bobby ticketed me whole interview him and Bivens
This Is A Golden Interview In These Days. Back Then This Was A Flopped Interview. It's Crazy You Literally You Can Say Anything You Want With No Filter. The Internet Is Our TV Now.
There was actually plans for a big screen movie called "Orchard Park" that was supposed to be released in '90. Of course that didn't come into fruition for 27 years.
My husband and i just watched this biopic for the first time (don’t judge us, lol) and it was HANDS DOWN the BEST biopic we have ever seen!!!! I read some comments about. Jodeci one with VH1-what happened with that one???
not to discredit anybody else but Woody did an unbelieveable role for bobby brown.
Just Julius i agree
Just Julius FULLY AGREED! The man deserves so much more recognition and definitely some awards for his portrayal.
Just Julius yes I feel like they all did good but I think Algee (Ralph) did really good with the singing
The acting was superb but I wish the actors coulda been more similar looking. Maybe I got spoiled by the people who cast the lookalikes for the miniseries "The People vs. OJ". Those actors were SPOT ON lookalikes!
Lil Litty don't forget about Luke (Johnny)
Woody McClain played the hell out of Bobby Brown.
He was as irritating though.
tlig that’s the point
Yes I was thinking that he did an awesome job
Yeah he did
@@tlig whatever that was suppose to mean, u ain’t word it right lol
It seems that Ralph was the one who was serious about the game but somehow got left behind because he did what was best for everybody.
...yeah... ..well.. as nice as his game was... ...his joint couldn't touch bbrown's or BBD... ...I dont think it even out sold johnny's... that's all about talent... ...and the entire NE had that... plus that's Ralph at his best when he's within NE... the others are at their best when they could branch out.... ...just saying...

Tia Flores nah he didn't lack good looks, charisma, or showmanship even from the candy girl days. Ralph was just set as the lead. It's the whole "if it isn't broke don't fix it" thing. Rick could've easily sang lead on ne songs and not miss a beat. The man is the most consistent voice in the group.
ralph look like tupac in some way
I agree
Shawn blazington😂🤣😂
Other way around
He looks more like Rakim.
Looks like Tevin Campbell
Finally a version of the Video Soul Interview "The Tension" that doesn't have the annoying static in it lol
RandomBlackGamer Ayeeeee, look who it is! 😂😂
Ayyyye. Long time no see ^_^
RandomBlackGamer New Edition fan too I see! 😂😂😁
Johnnifer Washington lol that I am. I grew up listening to them in the 90's as a kid. Glad to see you have good taste in music like this. But you a fellow MJ fan so you know whats good.
RandomBlackGamer Aye! MJFan4Life 😀😀.
Everybody still had big heads back then no way they were ready to tell their story until the appointed time such as now in 2017......almost 30 yrs later from this clip. They went through so much more after this interview. The biopic was one of the best I ever seen! Acting was on point!
Bobby told them "Don't tell her about the movie"lol
That album didn't come out until another six years. They better not play this year though with the new album and concert tours they've announced. Ride that movie momentum!
Amen to that! If they've learned anything after all these years, they'll make that happen.
Phresh Ideas + Designs They are doing the exact same thing. There's not going to be a tour or album, I'm sick of them
Phresh Ideas + Designs ummmmm about that
AINT NOBODY CHECKING FOR THEM
If looks could kill--Ralph's eyes at 4:03! Love his Boston accent when he says "mockets!!"
Lol I know right
That's hilarious! YES! 😁❤
😍😍😍😍😍 Whew yessss
wtf did they just predict the movie 20 yrs ago
Peep at 3:58 how Ricky repeated Ralph's "sololy"😂 Ralph then corrected himself after that and gave him the mad look at 4:02😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Lmaooo 😂
Sonia An damn didn’t peep that
😬
LMFAOOOO. I’m dead.
Ralph was the clear mature mind of the group for sure.
Ralph was always the coolest of them all...Johnny was/is a close second. Both of them are my favorite singers of all time. Love those guys.
Poor Ralph man 😔 he carried all of them with that voice and as soon as johnny came they gave him all the credit...Ralph put his album on the shelf to finish the NE album and now as soon as he wants to talk they start talking
Ralph wasn't hogging the interview he was trying to talk game that if they followed then they all would've been worth at least $100 million cause they would've been the 1st to brand & franchise their group in music, movie, TV & fashion while they were in their youth.
I find myself admiring the poise, professionalism and vision of Ralph
Bobby just adds a level of electricity to new edition that no other member has sadly … much love to New edition and thanks for the classics ❤
I feel as though the best thing they did for Bobby was to kick him out of the group. They still weren't making any money around that time and his solo career took off like a damn rocket...
Notice Johnny wasn't doing the hush it thing with the rest of them. He wasn't as immature and already knew about the times Ralph sacrificed for their ungrateful asses.
"so like theres a movie coming out pretty soon"
"yeah"
20 years later: The New Edition Story
Almost 30😫
Bobby looking just like Christina. RIP
Other way around Bobbi Kristina looking like her father Bobby, May her soul rest ❤
I, Like How Ralph, Broke It
Down, & Explained The Brake Down, Of New Edition.
Ralph's, Always The Serious One.
Blessings, To The Guys. Peace.
ralph made a really good point
This was 26 years ago
Ralph talking about Bobby's album was funny. Ralph and Mike looked kinda scary during this video, thank god Ricky was in the middle 😂
Wow, BET did a phenomenal job recreating this scene! It's also unbelievable that these men were in their early twenties at this time! I was just a baby, but my mom loved them!
Miranda Sims Yees i totally agree but i was a lil girl. 4 most likely during this interview. NE is one of the best to EVER do it! 😎😊😊🙏😇😇💋💋😊😍😍💪💪💞🎶🎶🎵🎵🎤
yay! more parts 😍 I love this quality, I watched this interview UA-cam so many times.
So many great personalities, so young, so talented, so strong egos, so many conflicting emotions... How did we expect that they would stay together the whole time.
Damn the biopic was on point 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Johnny Gill was so cute 😍😍😍😍
😭 . ralph is fine as hell ! I can definitely see the resemblance between him and algee too . 😩❤️ even the way they act !
I know right
Mannnn I wish they would have put out an album during this time!! Imagine how great it could have been. Word to the Mutha was such a tease of what could have been.
Poor Ralph was annoyed then and still seems to be today. Recently saw an interview from their 2017 Hollywood Star ceremony. He seemed distant #NE4LIFE
MsDomonique he's been missing from a lot of promo for the movie as well.
I heard he's not the interview type
NewJackSwing13 exactly !
He’s just SENSITIVE
I just finished binge watching all three episodes. God I love these guys. We need a renaissance in black music. BRING BACK REAL MUSIC FOR REAL PEOPLE! Forget about these Minajs and the like.
It's good that BET put out a clearer version of this interview and included the date. The person who posted this interview on youtube years ago didn't include the date so I thought that this took place late in 1990 or early 1991. In the BET movie, they re-created this scene and then skipped over 6 years to 1996 when they actually did the next New Edition album called Home Again.
I believe Brooke Payne's character in the movie said something like, "They Had To Do This Album & Tour Because All Of Their 2nd Albums Flopped"!! I guess that's the reason they skipped over everything that happened with New Edition from 1990 to 1996. Bobby's Humpin Around album(which sold a lot, it wasn't really a flop), Bobby marrying Whitney Houston, Bobby getting into trouble all the time and Biv introducing the world to Boyz II Men, ABC and MC Brains(remember him!!) are the notable things that happened with New Edition during those years that they skipped over.
Brooke Payne's line about New Edition's 2nd solo projects being flops also got me thinking that they probably should've started recording a New Edition album a couple months after this interview in 1990 like Ralph said. Maybe if that would've happened, they wouldn't have run into the problems they had on the Home Again tour, and the personal problems that resulted from that tour being cancelled. But it looks Mike Bivins had the 'Big Head", thought he was bigger than the group and would've caused conflicts with everyone if they started recording a new album at that time.
Yes it was 1990 I believe
1:52
Woman: "Do you all make time to get together?"
Group: ".."
Ricky: "Hm?"
Ralph and Bobby's faces: "Bruh.."
😂😂😂😂😂the cringiest moment of the interview
TRhymes7900-ROBLOX 🤣🤣🤣 I'm dead.. that awkward silence said it all
The cast did their homework and rocked it out when it came time to film this scene for the biopic
Good on them!
"Sololy"
Yeah that was bad wording
Wow love this Ralph broke it down explaining their different music ventures damn near just like the movie too frfr n the casting was on point except Ricky Belle lol
All these years later and seeing how the movie mimicked this interview....it was great to see for the first time
I feel for Ralph mannn
Ralph was my childhood celebrity crush. He was the daddy of my babydolls
Mine too
Bobby you know that was your boiii lol
That was my favorite part!
my baby Ralph the loyalty he had was unmatched
I love bobbys childish personality tbh
I just want to thank god bet made this movie before lmn put they hands on it 😭😂
Y'all better not start using "sololly" now.
This video is so smooth!! 💯
It took them almost 27 years to do the movie!
Ralph had the right idea towards the end of the interview!
Regardless of what, New Edition is one of the most innovative and talented groups of all time, PERIOD. From actual kids on the pop tip like J5 to their grown Temptations vibe in the early Johnny Gill showing, to their New Jack ways with Bobby and BBD and smooth R&B of Ralph and Johnny. Heads of State, RBRM....they find new and inventive ways to showcase themselves...this is my big sister's generation, the music I grew up on as a kid, along with Prince MJ Janet and soooooo much more. 40 years strong and they are ALL still here.....right here these young men in their prime with a plan and to think they and we all can look back at this and say.....damn....what a time to live in. Just think, 20 years ago we got The Temptations movie.....5 years before that, The Jacksons movie...last year and this year brought us The New Edition and Bobby Brown Story. Hoping that future musicians can learn from all of this....
I like the interview. It shows a band of 5 brothers. ( sorry Johnny). They still love each other. and Bobby twirling and messing with Mike is too cute. They were always at odds. but their relationship is genuine.
Thick Silhouette bobby was the youngest and had already came from a large family so he had that little brother role down packed
Ralph has to realize New Edition was his Solo career sort of speak as the lead sing. He song all the parts before Johnny came. And New Editions body of work I think outweighs Bobby, Johnnys and BBDs body of work.
Doc Central NE is Ralph's solo career a lot of people don't get that and in turn I don't think Ralph gets it because people don't respect it. Ralph is the only lead of NE he sings the bulk of NE music the movie told you that. Ralph's voice is what made NE songs so enduring. Bobby got the New Jack sound BBD hip hop smooth out R&B and Johnny grown man take you to church voice along with Ralph's butter soft voice makes these guys so legendary.
Basically!! This is what I have always said. Ralph was the star from 83-86. Jump and Shoot pushed him to be the front man. Ralph tried to leave in 87 and Busby said NO. Busby signed Johnny for Mike & forced Ralph to do another album. in 88 Ralph was over shadowed by Bobby and the rest is history.
No sort of speak, no group nut new edition so stop
Bobby unbothered by whole interview and Woody McClain played hell out him and was it just me or was Ralph throwing shade at everyone whole interview🤣🤣😩 Bobby ticketed me whole interview him and Bivens
Ralph seems way more grown than 21.
He was so mature back then. He seemed so mature in the sensitivity video. As a little girl I thought he was older than 21 when sensitivity came out.
Bobby predicted @ 2:25
Now can you put up the movie version of the interview #TBT #NEWEDITIONSTORY
May Flower please
Dawn Simmons Thank you
Much Respect for Ralph 💯
Lol ..bobby was acting crazy. He kept messing with Mike non stop then Ralph looked like he wanted to slap Bobby in the end
Haha!! Ralph looked at him like if u don't stop I'm a beat ur ass!!
This Is A Golden Interview In These Days. Back Then This Was A Flopped Interview. It's Crazy You Literally You Can Say Anything You Want With No Filter. The Internet Is Our TV Now.
Bobby funny af yoooo 😂
Algee nailed his role as Ralph.
Ronnie DeVoe had no eyebrows lol but he my fav
Madison Coleman Ronnie DeVoe was and still is bae! No eyebrows and all...lol! 😍😍😍💗
I love Ralph ❤ The voice of reason
I love love love Johnny Gill 😍 and NE as a whole!!!
I love Ralph's laugh
they did such a great job on the movie. I love Woody
There was actually plans for a big screen movie called "Orchard Park" that was supposed to be released in '90. Of course that didn't come into fruition for 27 years.
Ralph is such a gentleman.
My husband and i just watched this biopic for the first time (don’t judge us, lol) and it was HANDS DOWN the BEST biopic we have ever seen!!!! I read some comments about. Jodeci one with VH1-what happened with that one???
If you think about it NE is like an RNB version of Wu Tang with Bobby being ODB!! The solo albums on different labels and the tension in the group!!
Johnny's shoulders are HUGE. The shoulder pads were too serious that day 😂.
Bobby Looking like Michael Jordan before he went bald
Kash Kydd Kali
Bob looks like a young rookie MJ of 1985.
This group also reminds me of the Temptations, the Jacksons, and Wu-Tang.
Ralph man.....damn. The resentment he was harboring was on his sleeve. Understandable, though.
It's crazy how Ralph says we'll be recording the next album in a few months - but it actually doesn't happen until 6 years later.
