Irish Girls First Time Hearing Boyz II Men - End Of The Road

I just looked them up. They sound like a contemporary Christian singing group. 😊

[@tarzapopohead]

Them with Mariah Carey singing ONE SWEET DAY is total perfect harmony

[@bosounagi]

16 weeks on the top of the chart Billboard Hot 100!

On of the greatest slow dance songs of my middle school life…if I only danced and didn’t just help hold up the wall

[@charlesedwards2856]

Dude, same! I still remember having a friend of a girl come ask me to dance for her because she was too shy AND I was too shy to dance horribly, so I said no. I don’t often kick myself for my decisions as an adolescent, but that’s one I’d like back just because older me had the realization that she had to like me to want to ask me to dance and I was too stupid to even contemplate that possibility.

[@666blackcarbon9]

It was a good “couples skate” song too lol!! GET OFF THAT WALL🕺🏾💃🏽

[@GeneralBuckNaked]

Gotta hold up the wall sometimes bruh!! 😂😂

[@JasonMoir]

Boyz II Men is one of my favorites bands ever. So talented....and named after a song from another favorite of mine, New Edition.

[@DianeJennings]

That’s so interesting Jason! I never would’ve guessed

[@heatherg-thatsme]

Boyz II Men was an amazing group! The harmony still gives me chills. Their music brings me back to my childhood and how much my sister and I loved listening to them. ❤

[@DianeJennings]

It’s mad we didn’t get them but I guess touring Ireland wouldn’t have done much for them 😂 too small

[@LindaC616]

​@DianeJennings yes, they were before NSync and Backstreet

[@danielhead8123]

They're still together now trio

Boys ll men is the greatest combination of voices of all time.

Wow, I did not expect to see Boyz 2 Men on this channel! Great music! They still tour by the way. I was a kid when they started. Their songs are still on the radio in America today. Great reaction!

[@TR4200]

If you like Boyz II Men and what to check out more of their songs; I recommend you check out their song *I’ll Make Love To You* , *One Sweet Day* , *It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday* and *A Song for Mama*

Great names. The first one is ringing a bell.

[@rickeycarey4556]

Boys II Men's First Two Albums Cooley High Harmony and II are there most popular albums that play on the radio and music video tv. They also have sang them live at music awards.

[@HazyDaze.]

Finally! A group and a song that I can 💯endorse. This brought back all the feels of days long gone. I listened the heck out of their songs. Good pick!

[@FFVison]

Boyz II Men were HUGE in the US in the 1990s. They had some amazing harmonies. For an upbeat song, I would go with Motown Philly, which was pretty huge. For slower ballad acapella tearjerker, It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday. Another popular and great demonstration of their vocal harmonies is their cover of In The Still Of The Nite.

[@leamacleod5903]

Truly a great group. Timeless and classic staying power real singing talent

This song was #1 in the US from August 9 - November 7, 1992 at the time, a record-breaking 13 weeks! It would be surpassed by Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You mere months later. Idk your birthday/age, Diane, but I imagine it's around that time. I would love to see you react to the #1 song the week you were born on this channel!!

[@mattheweudy2396]

I asked my housemate & she said Boys2Men was definitely popular in Australia, which only thickens the mystery around Ireland, maybe one of them was allergic to stout

[@TimOMalley-ep3cg]

GOATS of the 90's in there genre. Shout to Ireland

[@andrewclarke3622]

I remeber this song. I think they came out when I was still in High Scool (late 80s.) This is one of my favorite songs.

[@rickeycarey4556]

I enjoyed your R & B dancing vibes and reaction to the song. You know what would be cool a dancing emoji for the music reaction videos.

[@bdwon]

This is my comment to boost your algorithm. It is fun to watch your reactions and to listen to your insights from the perspective that is unique to you. It is entirely a mystery to me when your reactions become especially intense. The phenomenon reminds me of all the young ladies who screamed their lungs out in the old films about the Beatles performing live.

[@DianeJennings]

Totally! Some boys yell at sports, some girls yell at boy bands

[@justinsquibb5211]

Finally someone who can comment without pausing and giving a 15 minute analysis everytime … keep up the good work

[@jardennis4nd]

Funny story. This song came out when I was stationed in Germany. We were out in the field and without any headphones, I would play this song repeatedly...fifty times in a row. I was in a tent with 20 other soldiers and not one of them complained when I rewound that cassette tape and played it again and again. Thank you, Diane, for keeping this song alive. I love your reactions. Your accent reminds me of my Irish soldier buddy who I had to rescue from many bar fights but yours sounds cuter.

Happy Wednesday Diane! Great seeing you on here as usual! This was a great choice to react to! I have grown up listening to "Boyz II Men" and this particular song, which is also on the soundtrack to the Eddie Murphy film "Boomerang" (1992). I like singing this song when I go do karaoke with friends. You should do more reactions to groups like this. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reactions. You're always fun to watch on here. Have a fantastic rest of your week Diane and be well! 😎👍

Good selection. This was a huge hit at the time, it broke chart records in the US, reached #1 in just about every English speaking country in the world, including Ireland, and was top 10 in many other countries. They had so many hit songs, I'd be surprised if they didn't visit Ireland or the UK at least a few times back then! 😊

[@TimpossibleOne]

Boyz II Men took their name from the title of a New Edition song 'Boys to Men'. New Edition member Mike Bivens was their original producer. Their name caught his attention because of the correlation.

[@Destyn2b]

The group was named after a popular New Edition song Boys To Men. NE are legends! They're the blueprint for all boy bands after Jackson 5.. You should check them out sometime. They started in 1983 with Bobby Brown being a founding member. They still perform today and all of the members went on to do solo projects and for spin off groups like Bell Biv Devoe. Check out If It Isn't Love and Can You Stand The Rain.

[@avtechman77]

That song broke Elvis Presley's 36 year old record for weeks at number 1 at 12 weeks on the Billboard charts. Then Whitney Houston broke it with "I Will Always Love You" at 14 weeks. Then Boyz II Men tied it at 14 weeks with "I'll Make Love To You." Then they became the only artist to knock themselves out of the number 1 spot with their own song "On Bended Knee," but it only lasted 6 weeks at the number 1 spot. Finally, they broke the record again at 16 weeks with a duet with Mariah Carey called "One Sweet Day," which still stands today.

[@adisboy2140]

Boyz Ii Men got their name from a song title by New Edition from their Heartbreak Album called "Boys to Men". New Edition started the modern boy band era from the 80's as little kids. However, Boyz II Men became the most successful R&B group in history.

According to dutch Wiki on Boyz2men, Nathan Morris started a band (Unique Attraction) with his classmate Marc Nelson in 1985 when he was 14, so that would make Nathan 21 in 1992 (depending on b-day offcourse). Love their "duet" with Mariah Carey - One sweet day

Boys to Men are in Philadelphia where I live and they went to the School of Performing Arts I think. When they made that song they were about 24 or 25 I guess

[@logankerlee]

I loved Boyz II Men as a youngster! They were my top favorite R&B group for sure. lmao, I'm a white guy but I grew up listening to rap and R&B.. those were the days! All of that ended when I began high school, though. After I moved in with my dad in a small town away from urban life, I began to listen to rock and now as an adult I can enjoy most all music. So I'm happy that I'm well rounded! xD Though!! My feelings on rap/R&B is that everything modern/released these days is garbp in comparison. I'll still jam to this and Tupac! hahahha, wow.
