The Story of Bell Biv DeVoe | New Edition Years, Poison, The Legacy Continues...

[@beaniegee5129]

Bell Biv Devoe's debut album Poison is a classic

[@treninapreston3128]

Poison is one of my favorite songs. I've always loved Bel, Biv, Devoe. One of the best R&B groups, period.

[@parisvines8827]

​@@treninapreston3128 me too

[@timmyheatz12]

They had bars, hooks, flow, and delivery cuz never trust a girl wit big butt cuz that girl poison! 🎶

[@MrQuietstorm93]

Facts!! ❤

[@Chuck_EL]

I remember when the "Poison" single dropped in 1990 I saw white and black people rocking that song in their cars Even white men who didn't listen to hip hop , or on the basketball court or local baseball games That was the first time I've seen that as a kid That's how big that song was and it was a hit for 6 months

[@brownparkproductions3488]

“Hip-hop smoothed out on an R&B tip with a pop appeal to it.” Huge fan of BBD, as well as the entire New Edition franchise.

[@timmyheatz12]

That episode of the fresh prince of Bel-Air with bell biv devoe was legendary! Definitely was the era during that time.❤

[@JM-gv7dn]

I was trying to get to my room, Ty what was you doing? "I was tryna be in the video" 😂

[@timmyheatz12]

@JM-gv7dn lol when ashley and her lil friends were losing their minds seeing bell biv devoe! That show was and still my ishhh!

[@bigmaxcc]

@@timmyheatz12👀boy was uncle phill gonna be mad when he came home 😂😅

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

I'm glad they didn't sit around and wait to see what was going to happen. They went through a lot as NE but they somehow figured it out as a family would. You have to admire that. No one was mad at branching out because they still came back home. BBD had us jammin everywhere 💃🏾🕺🏾..

[@AmoMe2009]

“I Do Need You” from their first album is a complete gem. Ricky’s vocals was 🔥, the saxophone is exquisite and the haunting tone is such a cool paradox of the lyrics.

[@IceManLikeGervin]

That's my favorite song by BBD. They should have released that as a single and made a music video for it as well.

[@SANDYMILLER23]

When l hear it l always think of a boy l dated.😊 Great memories.

[@vwadebiz03]

My favorite song from BBD!

[@ashtontk-rw7mo]

I love them forever. The pioneers of New Jack Swing. Poison is still one of my go to jams.

[@danavixen6274]

Poison is an R&B infused classic. When Will I See You Smile Again is one of the MOST HEARTFELT and ENDEARING ballads! ❤

[@Dwayne3007]

That appearance on Fresh Prince was hilarious.

[@tomasjephersin84]

"Poison" Is Forever On My Playlist

[@therealmarlonbellamy]

Bell Biv Devoe is one of the greatest spin off groups. Can we please get stories on the following groups: Guy Tony Toni Tone Levert The Boys

[@nicolesherman8974]

I remember BBD being on The Fresh Prince and Will was dancing behind them 😂.

[@SmurfENT1]

Saw New Edition live back in April and it was the best concert I’ve ever been to ❤ BBD Forever Real OG’s know the deal 🎉

[@atcorbett49221]

Poison will always and forever be my ringtone.

[@SANDYMILLER23]

My favorite part of New Edition's branch groups. ABSOLUTELY LOVE BBD!!! Thank you for this video.🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎

[@janettehernandez1384]

All of those songs i still play till this very day. I grew up listening to New Edition & Bell,Biv Devoe. When their first album came out i was 10 & after 30+ years Poison still hits like when it first came out back in 1990.

[@beaniegee5129]

Busta Rhymes wrote Ronnie Devoe's rap verse for the song Do Me

[@beaniegee5129]

Bell Biv Devoe's BBD album was released on the same day as Nas' 5th album Stillmatic, Bow Wow's sophomore album Doggy Bag, Ruff Ryders' 3rd album Ryde or Die Vol. III, Mystikal's 5th and final album Tarantula, Wu-Tang Clan's 4th album Iron Flag, Jay-Z's live album MTV Unplugged, and Master P's 10th album Game Face on December 18th 2001 and they were also the last albums to be released in 2001

[@blakebrown84]

Bell Biv Devoe made a lot of radio friendly hits who had no limitation of what type of music they wanna make. They all had their own style and never allow no one to stop them from being creative. They continually toured and doing show appearances as members of New Edition as well as their own. None of them were mad about branching out on their own and at least they didn’t sit around to wait for someone else to do it for them. Michael Bivins was managing other groups like Boyz II Men, Another Bad Creation and Pee-Wee All Stars. Ronnie Devoe started real estate in Atlanta and Ricky Bell was struggling for a while, but he turned his life around for the better. We all happy to see them doing well in life.

[@lexuscoleman4488]

This song was the change of the new Era they ate down with this hit I’m glad all of the New Editions member had a success where they all shined which opened the door for Boyz to men fun fact they named them self after new edition song boyz to men I miss the talent back then omg bring the 90s back ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jaylene.turner6524]

Yes ma’am! All of the New Edition members have successful solo careers outside of the group. What other group can say that other than the Beatles?

[@thehashtagtrashbag]

The Eagles

[@beaniegee5129]

Bell Biv Devoe also made an appearance on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air along with Nicholle Tom AKA Maggie from The Nanny on the episode The Butler Did it

[@kyanderson3989]

BBD stays in heavy rotation with me. Loved them from NE to now. Especially their "Bootcity" album! Saw them twice in concert...shows are 💯🔥!

[@nicolesherman8974]

“That girl is poisonnnn” 💃🏾💃🏾

[@thegoldenseatlife]

Every time they perform I am front row center lol. I got to meet them a couple of times over the last few years and they are the nicest guys. One of my favorite groups!

[@kel-melprevail8127]

To tell the truth... nobody in the industry thought they would sell 5 copies of their debut...because biv and Ronnie.. couldn't sing too well and Ricky couldn't get alot of time on the microphone..but they proved them wrong

[@beaniegee5129]

Bobby Brown also made a cameo appearance in Bell Biv Devoe's BBD (I Thought it Was Me) video

[@daniosborne8134]

Nice as always; hopefully you can do next of how popular the TV shows came out strong, and then came weak towards the end, such as: Buffy The Vampire Slayers, The OC, and other ones you haven’t done yet - looking forward to it, if you can…season greetings ⁉️‼️❗️👋🏻😯🤔😌☃️🎄👀📺

[@beaniegee5129]

Great story on Bell Biv Devoe

[@vu4uboo582]

You know, BBD was a talented group and all, but they are a picture perfect example of most musical artists' careers: They come out with a handful of radio bangers we all love, but after a few years, their 15 minutes seems to have already passed. And unfortunately, any new music they they try to put out just doesn't have the same label backing and success they once had; no matter how hard they try or how good their music is.

[@pretty_lilcryer2926]

15 mins? They will forever be relevant. They are part of new edition.

[@vu4uboo582]

@@pretty_lilcryer2926 Oh come on. get off the gas already. You have to be over 50 to really even know who they are. I'm 40 and I barely remember them. They came out when I was like 8. Music is generational. My generation and the kids nowadays never even heard of them before; they like music made by their peers; not their grandpa.

[@vetgirl71]

@@vu4uboo582why are you here if you want to insult the best group from the 80’s ( new edition, bbq) 90’s , and still going strong for over 25 years!

[@AcousticUplift]

@@vu4uboo582 I'm also in my early 40s and for my generation (and even those younger), BBD will always have a place in our hearts and on the dancefloor because of 'Poison', if nothing else. One of the best written and produced pop-R&B songs, full stop.

[@JeremiahSpeaks]

Thank you for the video Juicy Pop! Merry Christmas my sister 😊😊

[@fargasluisfelipe]

Can you do the story of Bobby brown next?

[@beaniegee5129]

Bell Biv Devoe's sophomore album Hootie Mack is so underrated

[@s.c.s.i.]

I was just thinking this as well.

[@jasonthemagnificent2.0]

They waited way too long to drop the album. It was supposed to come out in '92

[@LimCoolie89]

@@jasonthemagnificent2.0that delay hurt them

[@godcentricimagery1581]

That sounds familiar same thing with Bobby 3rd album waited too long. The music industry was transitioning by then

[@Iwant2BYRLova]

What can I say! This is my favorite video you have done so far. NE WAS and Is everything to me. But BBD is/was the s%it! I've seen the in numerous concerts. NE/BBD for life. You could not tell me I was not Ronnie's wife. 😅😅😅 I have Fresh Prince of Bel Air episode in my memory bank.

[@beaniegee5129]

Free from 106 & Park made a cameo appearance in Bell Biv Devoe's Word to the Mutha video

[@pureromanceable]

Bell Biv DeVoe are icon trio male group R&B singers of the greatest boy band group New Edition in the 1980s. I like their vocals it is very harmonious they made a guest appearances on Fresh Prince of Bel Air,Arsenio Hall show My favourite song by them "Poison"They are still making history respect to these talented men.

[@DeeSunbae]

Little me dancing in front of the TV trying to master their dance moves lol

If anyone is familiar with the Mandela Effect.. it has effected the groups name which even the title of this video remembers the old way it was spelled: “BEL BIV DEVOE” with 1 L.. now in this reality, apparently the BEL is now spelled with 2 L’s.. BELL.. wild stuff 🤯🤯

Thank you.

Didn't know Ricky was smokin base...selling his personal things in his house..he said his boots he sold too..sad

[@jasonthemagnificent2.0]

It's crazy how all of Ralph's back up singers in NE became bigger stars than him

[@RBS_]

....THERE IT IS!! ...I could have SWORN Ralph was gonna go Solo and get BIG....then when the 2nd CD came out (Fall 1993), it just...fell FLAT! .....hated that he's thought of as "The 'Sensitivity' Guy", even though he has EIGHT Top Ten (Solo) R&B hits.....

[@vetgirl71]

🙄🤡

[@deandreray3500]

He had all the success early and the others had bigger solo success

[@godcentricimagery1581]

By Ralph own admission he didn't want to go solo. Ralph gave BB blueprint for his DBC album but once everyone else went solo he had to go solo. Watch video of all 6 performing in 1990 while promoting their solo projects Ralph wasn't too comfortable solo but when all 6 on stage he was back in his element and shined

[@78Sista]

I had a crush on Ron. I still listen to the song Poison. Most of my friends did dance routines off of the song. #GreatMemories 😉🙂💖

Did Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produce a song on the album “Poison”?

[@larrymarshall8900]

That's what I'm trying to find out did they write the album or executive produce the album. I'm looking on Spotify for the song credits and see if they wrote any of their songs on the Poison album.
