You young people don't realize what this means. Two super groups coming together on one stage.

[@niamakaylahcaldwell9742]

I do. Alot of us do. But some just prefer music from our generation. I personally love most music from my generation but prefer music from past generations. New Edition and New Kids On The Block played a big part in my musical interests. Me and my classmate know the choreo to Mr Telephone Man and we do it whenever my teacher plays it.

Right??

I see a lot bringing up The Jacksons, Temptations, etc. like New Edition or News Kids don’t recognize those groups but this was about them. They had their time. New Edition is for this generation.

I heard it again and went online to read the lyrics because I wasn't sure if what I heard was correct but unfortunately it was. Can't quite listen to that song now.

Nice! When? and did your buddy from high school get to play for them? You or him must be celebrity status. I seriously want to know this story. Thanks.

@@ilovenoodles7483 Hes on tour with them now. We went to a performing arts school and we were both instrumental majors with the 🎷. He's more of a celebrity than me

New Edition! Legends! Still got it! Bobby, Ronnie, Ricky & Mike! Oh yeah Johnny & Ralph too!

[@mattes7844]

Performers that knew how to put on a real show, performing songs that could steal the heart.

[@monetenglish68]

For those who don't know Johnny Gill was already a solo artist with his song half crazy and he sang with Staci Lattisaw. So he basically had back to back hit solo careers.

The BEST thing I’ve watched in years! I’m a UK 🇬🇧 Blockhead & I’ve watched this about 50x! It’s everything! I love New Edition now too ❤️

Showing all boy bands now how it's really done 👏 👏 👏 👏

New Edition and Nkotb Were like local heroes to me growing up ❤️

[@iamtamashii4184]

Never was a New Kids fan, but seeing them share the stage with New Edition was awesome. Love seeing unexpected collaborations on award shows.

[@dxwallace55]

Same here, but I loved the energy of both.....

[@daymunsdayz]

This was EPIC!!!! Two super groups on stage at the same time. The Mash up of Is this the end and Please don't go girl was amazing. All of them dancing to If it isn't love.............WOW!!!! You can also tell how far music has sunk since these two groups rules their eras. The songs were about love, girls, heartbreak, having fun, etc. Now it's all about drugs, money, guns etc. I miss this era. The tour will hopefully be amazing!

New Edition the original R&B group. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
