Armani Regester You ain't lying😂😂

[@jacqulynwebster6591]

Armani Regester Thiiiiis!!!!!

[@feranmihall3268]

Awww when they played Algee's song, it was cute how Woody knew some of the parts and ad-libs and how they were all dancing and all. You can tell that they all really support each other and all. Their lives have all changed because of this project.

[@thatgirlmoniii6871]

Algee is so cute😍😩

[@NBAgladiator]

I was gonna comment this too. I love their brotherhood and the black boy joy the exude.

[@pendafen7405]

Are Algee & Woody still friends? Bc not to be parasocial but if they're not still besties it's gonna break my heart a bit

[@desirees6104]

Is anyone gonna talk about the fact that Keith Powers is a closet rapper 😂😂❤

[@LTMM_]

I got that Black Boy Joy. RUN AND TELL THAT!!!

[@mayflower7811]

Letago Modiba YASSSSS

[@goldblooded5515]

[@mayflower7811]

Rico Ramirez The encore presentation of part 2 of the #NewEditionStory is on right now

[@bc315ful]

Letago Modiba it really needs to become a single doe lol I was jamming to it

[@LTMM_]

angelcup19 Haha yes. These guys need to record this asap. Ride on that New Edition wave.

[@shahnajo8115]

I'm here for Woody! He seems like he has such a sweet soul. He was so quiet. Kinda like me especially in an environment like that. I just sit back, observe and take it all in. He will flourish when the time is right 🙂

[@ct3731]

This comment aged well!!!

[@adriannapugh100]

He is on the big screen three times with Ghost Power 🎉

[@her.3084]

Right

[@pendafen7405]

He was singing along to Algee's single though, that's his boy🥰😍

[@niaa7100]

I was laughing the entire time😂 Elijah is so extra!

[@chasniehouston2000]

Niaa! yeeesss i think thats why sway was ignoring him...he really didnt deal with Elijah cause Elijah was snatchin the mic and erthang😂😂😂😂

[@niaa7100]

Chasnie Houston Exactlyyy😂❤️

Chasnie Houston u gotta be like that when ur in a group lmao

[@SummaSummaTime_]

I love Elijah Kelley he's always been SO TALENTED 😍😍

[@IsaiahSingsGreat]

summa summa time lol he killed his freestyle

[@blessedk77]

[@Nicholasjordanbergmann]

IsaiahSingsGreat Check out my behind the scenes vid of the New Edition screening! Luke James freestyles it's awesome!!!

[@brantonjames9440]

Summa summa time you can really really really sing 🎤

[@lekishacoleman7532]

Their BOND! I pray that they remain forever brothers! Their chemistry is beautiful! Black men doing POSITIVE things! ❤❤

[@luckyshow98]

Honestly I'm smiling ear to ear I love seeing black men smile, laugh. Sway in the morning is a beacon of positivity. One of the best interviews! Black excellence is sure shining through here 🙏🏾

[@alonzotanner1226]

Lucky Obsiye then you’d love to kick it with me. Where I’m from, everyone knows me as that “jolly nigga”. I just love to have fun and make the best out of everything. Not throwing a resume at you just building from your comment.

[@gabby6917]

Was NOT expecting Elijah to be able to rap like that! He better go ahead 👏🏽

[@Wildflower333]

This was a great interview but I'm disappointed that sway didn't give Elijah is recognition for his roles that's he been in. He a great singer and actor. He mentioned everyone else's accolades and achievements but not Elijah and he's been in the game for some time. I love his personality!

[@jamieaustin4316]

Yazz was the perfect person to play Mike Bivins. He looks and sounds like him.

[@amarihanifah]

Lmbo, watch Elijah during Keith's entire freestyle 17:32

[@HeyItsEmmanuel]

Amari Hanifah lol he's giving me Kevin Hart vibes

[@davinodum7321]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@cynthia1853]

Amari Hanifah 😂😂

[@princessrae7793]

[@chelsea5355]

[@uriandropov7212]

Stacy Robinson So positive.

[@ASweeti21]

[@quilosunflower]

Simply Me YASSSSSSSS!! 😝😍😍

[@taviaaaa]

Honestly the purest thing I've seen in a minute lol. Their happiness is everything !!!

[@DominiqueCerita]

LOVED HOW THIS WASNT A TYPICAL PRESS TOUR INTERVIEW, where the host ask the same ol questions..I literally was either laughing or smiling throughout this whole interview! great personalties, adore how they rapped about not going to jail and not trapping while showcasing brotherhood,,, yesss so refreshing!!! BET will be lit the 24th-26th!

[@rarabarak825]

They need to make a group for real. Singers and rappers and Woody could choreograph their routines.

[@jasmonroy6351]

woody has no personality tho. he was so forgettable in this interview

[@mscourt]

Jas monroy I think he was tired

[@rarabarak825]

Jas monroy This his first big endeavor. The rest of the guys have done press before. if you look at his latest interview he's way more animated. Give him some time. Back in the day they use to give them media training.

[@lapalapa15]

rarabarak BNE- Brand New Edition

[@JackHeRare]

rarabarak Nah, they shouldn't. They would be type casted. It would be horrible for their acting/singing endeavors.

[@raeshelled]

this interview look like a party lol... I want to be invited 😢

[@nacolebrown4459]

Me to

[@tulaniredding6975]

Elijah Kelley killed that freestyle! It was poetic and raw at the same time. They all did. Love it! #blackboyjoy

[@naturalhawa6467]

These are the young men our young brothers are supposed to be inspire by. Not all that crap that's going on in the music industry today. Would defiantly have this around my future son. 😍

[@GlamGrace]

I literally have fell in love with this cast!!!!! Loved the interview and the black boy song was life. Get em in the studio!!!

[@stevenjames6766]

Jorey_Johnae NOW!!!

[@LOVESPELLful]

The way Elijah jumping during Keith freestyle 😂😂😂😂😂

[@mouna3242]

I liked the song at the beginning, but someone was a bit flat. I know it's not Algee, Elijah or Luke because they can all sing. And I didn't see Woody singing or Keith.

[@jonniecehoward6207]

mouna3242 it was yazz tryna act like he can sing

[@ASweeti21]

jonniece howard lol

[@ayeepexxtv5854]

yea hakeem cnt sing

[@t.2283]

mouna3242 lmao it ws hakeem loud ass

[@ToraC321]

Tarisha Augustin I'm fucking WEAK!!!!! lmao

[@nunc889]

[@etessema]

[@BornToBeFamed]

[@leekeeboo]

[@nunc889]

Jessica Marie oh wow I didn't know that

[@curtissimmons2287]

Leekee-Duh-Boo exactly

[@rachxoxo18]

I loooove their relationship!! Elijah, Algee & luke voices 🙌🏾 🙌🏾 can't wait for the movie!!

[@samagbasi]

This nigga Yazz is in an ENTIRELY different key at the beginning lol

[@jonniecehoward6207]

Sammy Agbasi facts, he can't sing 😂😂😂

[@juderayalmario1087]

Sammy Agbasi I don't think Biv would be too happy!!

[@NJPrinc3]

Sammy Agbasi 😂😂😂😂😂 I heard that mess! He's a rapper for a reason!

[@moniquemiller5536]

Sammy Agbasi I had to rewind to see it lmao

[@aerkozepol7447]

Sammy Agbasi is he really a member of new edition? I only heard of him from empire lmao

[@hopeb5431]

The support they have for each other is amazing. When sway played their songs everyone looked like each other's fans it was so beautiful

[@cblaylock92]

Sway was not trying to give Elijah Kelley his just due. But he let it be known in his freestyle. #BlackBoyJoy Take the lead Red Tails The Butler Hairspray THE WIZ LIVE !!!

[@gimmeabeat868]

cblaylock92 I noticed that too what was up with that!?!?

[@Tracy_tuber]

cblaylock92 It may have been an oversight,Sway did mention The Butler in the interview

[@humptydumpty5921]

cblaylock92 Sway just had not done his homework that's all.

[@doriswoods4776]

Tracy Lovesuback Thank you. Sway is a professio nal. I didn't see the oversight or disrespect. He mentioned what he knew just like the others. Seems like you are feeling some type of way. I don't get it. But, we all have the right to feel what we feel.

[@viciousLUA]

Lmao all Sway mentioned was The Butler, that’s pretty much it! He directed a lot of his questions to everyone else.

[@kieramarshall9319]

Elijah and Algee had the best free style! I love their personalities and brotherhood! Seeing this really makes me sad the series is over. Didn't want it to end!! Oh and Woody is so quiet. He's hilarious in his vines/videos but I guess he just has to warm up to doing interviews and stuff. He's fine tho!

[@brennsmith3753]

I have been a fan of Elijah Kelley for years!!! This man is extremely talented, triple treat for real!! And shout out to Woody McClain representing Jacksonville, FL!! These men did a great job in this movie!! I was really impressed

[@breannas3064]

I felt like I was in the interview too😂. They lit the whole interview.

[@ericadailey630]

The energy is craaaaazy ! I can feel it through my phone ! Can't wait for the movie. The type of talented young men that these youngins need to look up to !!!

[@user-tn6fg2du6v]

Keith powers could also be devante in a Jodeci biopic

[@hiitsjessd]

The tall one and the one that plays Bobby are hot, my God.

[@dotydotdots2839]

Jess D Yep. I was looking at them the whole interview.

[@aaliyahgriffin871]

Jess D yes yes 😍

[@mayflower7811]

Too much black talent in 1 room they just did a song in 1 take. I am so ready for this movie in 5 days it's going to be lit #NewEditionMovie 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@creampuff205]

So we just gon sit here and act like Algee's freestyle wasn't dope? He's mad talented!!

[@MessiahChild88]

Omg love these guys. Whole interview. Melanin on fleek. Black babies. Black love 💘

[@MessiahChild88]

Black joy

[@aeriellmoore3030]

it's amazing how Woody is so chill and laid back compared to the rest of the cast but he did an amazing job playing Bobby Brown, like okay i see you. got that #BlackBoyJoy 😏

[@dldmills53]

[@Jnel28]

[@justdoit.86yearsago]

Jnel28 until they post pictures of their white/Latina girlfriends on social media

[@Ferrist1]

Elijah hype. he's like if y'all ain't gonna big me up I'm going to big ups myself. lol

[@bluetextbooks]

They killed this interview!!!! Mad respect, someone cast these dudes on Black Panther.

[@bkbabyqnzlady]

yazz is clearly a better actor than rapper. algee definitely did his thing on the mic tho

[@RandomCommentKid101]

Dollie Session Ambitionz Az A Ridah

[@Ayommari]

This interview was so much fun to watch. The "freestyles" were great and reminded me of 90s battles. Can't wait to see the New Edition movie. I was a huge fan of them in the 80s. The young guy playing Ralph Tresvant looks like he could be his son.

[@Wayla-dc4hg]

Sway: Rich people tryna act hard...because they're struggling Me: Soulja Boy did you catch that?

[@nakyahdavis8054]

woody use to be a back up dancer for Chris Brown, he was already big on a social media platform because he did funny skits. Woody and Yazz were the only ones I knew on the cast before watching the whole movie. But I'm proud to see him coming from where he began!

[@Jelly4rm904]

nakyah davis Yes. So proud of Woody!

[@jenniebenton1116]

nakyah davis Elijah Kelly was in a nice amount of movies before this. Keith Powers played Dr Dre's brother on Straight Outta Compton.

[@gypsylove9661]

nakyah davis keith was in straight outta compton and a couple disney shows, woody from skits, elijah from broadway, algee disney channel, yazz empire and luke just being a singer

[@MAMakeupx]

What was algee in on disney channel?

[@gypsylove9661]

Maya Farkas let it shine

[@Jay.Armani]

16:03 Yooooo! Elijah Kelly killed it😂He had me forgetting about Yazz. 17:34 Keith Powers was lit too. Love all of them!

[@mercylago4744]

This is Woody's first project? That's really amazing to be true because he did a phenomenal job! He did great! Everyone did!

[@DavidRichardson95]

Met five of these brothers (except Yazz) at the AMC Theater on 34th last Saturday. Took my mom as a date since I won the contest. Night 1 will have you at the edge of your seat next Tuesday!! They killed it!! Especially the youngins. 👌👌👌👌

[@shakalakabombastic7837]

David Richardson took your mom as a date? You sick bruh

[@DavidRichardson95]

Shakalaka Bombastic the only one sick is you. And probably that's all you got out of it. Ignorant as fuck. 😑😑😑

[@shakalakabombastic7837]

David Richardson nah man I got what you said out of it. "Took my mom as a date". Just going by what you said w/ no context provided. You mad bro? Lmao

[@DavidRichardson95]

Shakalaka Bombastic Why would be I mad? You the one that tried to make it much more that what it is? that's the problem with this generation. Y'all jump too fast & over think shit.

[@tanika_j]

Algee is Bae 😍😍

[@mical7582]

I love Algee's voice. He's so cute. Elijah Kelley loves grabbing the mic and making sure he's heard. He could play Kevin Hart and Sammy Davis Jr. Bryshere's rap was ok, love him on Empire. Woody is so laid back but he's a good dancer, you have to be to be a Chris Brown dancer. He did a great job playing Bobby Brown. Keith is cute, wish he had more screen time and speaking parts in the 3 part series. Luke is talented, no doubt. I love the vibe in this studio.

[@undergroundkween]

Nothing like seeing Black Men just be joyful and inspiring. Good gawd I love this. I love it.

[@gabby6917]

[@jumaginationj9782]

This was dope Elijah and luke have some amazing voices, hopefully Elijah really drops that record that he performed.

[@problemchild170]

This interview made me so happy

[@RawDawg903]

if they ever made a jodeci movie the kid from empire could play Devante Swing, he looks just like him with those shades and haircut lol

[@queenlele6193]

RawDawg903 Omg I was thinking the same thing except he doesn't have hazel eyes like him.

[@meccapcd]

melanin magic, let's make some black babies. 😂✨

[@tyeasha7448]

woody was like nah I'm good at 20:10 😂😂

[@cwillis9031]

I love their energy as a group!!! There was Always do much love, support and good energy as they promoted the movie. Absolutely loved that!

[@YoungRell]

can't wait for this movie. they all seem so humble. I'll definitely check our thier personal music

[@angelica21290]

I think Algee is amazing

[@lisaz1499]

Woody singing along to Algees song 😍😭

[@kiragotpress6079]

I remember Elijah was on Hairspray that's my movie.

[@game2vin]

This is how you promote a MOVIE! #TAKENOTES

[@santania8433]

Keith's rap was actually really good

[@leeleebaby1492]

I absolutely loved Elijah's energy when Keith was spitting them bars.

[@FREDDIEHUBBARDMUSIC]

The Biggest tv Star in there needs to work on his Free styling

[@BGvibes115]

FRED HUBBARD bahaaaaaaaa Algee, Keith & Elajiah were waaayyyy better

[@melliemel32]

FRED HUBBARD I liked his first freestyle...the last one needed help, but that first one was fire, I thought.

[@RonicBeatsz]

lmaao he still a good rapper he pulled the first one off, he didn't expect 'em to throw it at him and sometimes you just need a lil longer to get back in the flow. It's dope how Algee noticed and took over quick

[@tnichols5166]

These cats came THROUGH! To relive the NE days with this cast was amazing!!! They did New Edition justice...thank you!!!

[@DazshaKabree]

Lit! So refreshing to see some respectful, smart, talented young black men 💕

[@thedcgirl202]

Awesome cast!! But, that Elijah Kelley!!! YES! I'm looking forward to seeing big things from him!

[@teirabannister434]

they had me being hype with them their energy was fire and their freestyles were good

[@l.devronesuggs6673]

Black boy joy and black excellence needs to be a global movement taken seriously. We must never blame other people for our failures because there will always be haters,that will never change. We decide our failures and successes because we can only control us. Everything and everyone else is just another obstacle between what is and what can be, which is greatness. You rise and shine or you buckle and blame! My faith is restored in the black youth, these guys actually get it!

[@YolandaGlaster1]

Synergy through the ROOF!!!!

[@ItzNeenaNique]

Woody so shy how did he play bobby?? LOL he still cute tho ♥

[@kwilcox1126]

woody mouth "waitin on it" awww brothersss

[@Bemayal]

I love them! Also I didn't know they could sing like that for real! Algee came through with the vocals with "Can you stand it woahhh ohhh.." 😭😭😭😭 Had me screaming like the woman in the video haha

[@kajuniquebreazell1570]

they need to be they own group 😍😍

[@alyscloset]

love the series so far. ready for pt. 3 tomorrow! Ive been following and waiting for this mini series for over a year. And on a side note - they are all fine as F. but Keith has me. bruhhhhhhhhhhh.

[@blackempress2040]

So much Talent in one room is truly overwhelming! Much love to sway. You still holding it down. Y'all fellas better rep for the late 80s and early 90s. We are a force to be reckon with baby! Let's get em!

[@bevans2463]

He said Yazz was one of the most humble young men in the business? Has he met him? lol

[@meccapcd]

right lol

[@8toFive]

B Evans lol he is a bit cocky i met him a few years ago

[@t.2283]

B Evans lmao I said the same thing. i cant stand his ass lol

[@Kimmica20]

He should know though since he worked with him on set and talks to him. He seems cool to me.

[@gagajolie1]

Y'all gotta separate his character from his actual self lol he actual is pretty cool
