"RBRM" Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky & Mike Discuss Tour & Getting the Guys Back Together w/ Ramona Debreaux

[@orikara]

U can tell RONNIE reaaaally cares Alot bout BOBBY...#RESPECT

[@faynitawilliams4437]

orikara Yeeees my boy always has. He always been the heart of the group. He just never liked Bobby's big ego back than. #LoveAllMyBoys #NETillEternity😍😍💋💋💗😘😘

[@donnaparker8945]

orikara for real 💓

[@faynitawilliams4437]

@Simply Gem Yeees it is all brotherly love. They love him so much. That they help him sing his songs because of what the cigarettes and drugs did to his voice. But I love Bobby's perserverance through it all. Bobby B still the King of R&B. I love how they all can still dance and sing like they still teenagers. They are timeless. No group has done what they done. 😍😍😍💕💗

[@feeteater6234]

He the oldest out of the group also

[@lestercanal]

orikara true

[@dawnpratt846]

Just think all this started from Bobby Brown, wanting to do a talent show they really have him to thank for seeing the vision as a child .❤❤

[@Sunshine-dy2nx]

Dawn Pratt: If BB had been chosen to be the lead person of NE they would have died a long time ago. Thank God he was not chosen.

[@IceManLikeGervin]

Actually Jealous Girl was the 1st song that NE recorded but Maurice Starr couldn't deal with lead singer at the time Bobby's wild shenanigans so he made Ralph the lead singer and dropped Candy Girl as NE's 1st release.

[@wandahwisdom5646]

@Dawn Pratt: #Aquarius is documented as being *Visionaries* , hear #AquariusSeason on this channel. :-)

[@QueenAnitaSoul1]

Actually that's not true there was no lead singer they all used to take turns and harmonize the record label wanted to lead singer

[@IceManLikeGervin]

I heard that from BBD's own mouths in an interview. Before they signed to Streetwise records they all used to take turns on lead depending on who was best for singing a certain part. Also, as per Ralph- Maurice Starr was taking him up to the radio stations alone in an effort to get him to record a solo record after Candy Girl album.

[@christianliam3988]

She’s a AMAZING INTERVIEW HOST! Her diction and and control is noted. She included all guest in the conversation!!! No one over talked over each other. Just had to say that 😁

[@LyricSkye]

NE fans are the best!!! Been rocking w them since I was 5!!!! I’m 42 years young!!!

[@robertsilas5110]

Me too. My dudes, love these guys. I'm 42 as well.

[@fashionmaverick1]

I too love them all, but New Edition truly owes it's loyal and long time fans a real tour with all "six" members not "4" members. I'm disappointed that they can't agree to disagree because with age comes wisdom. Please reunite and take my money you guys and all your millions of fans. Good luck Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike, but please recruit Ralph and Johnny.😣😭😢

[@Throwboy]

So great to see everyone looking happy and healthy.

[@naijainnit]

The energy in this interview was great.

[@dareal1956]

He went through so much in life I’m just happy to see him the loss of his ex wife and the major was the loss of his daughter but I’m happy he’s in good spirits

[@wandahwisdom5646]

[@reedlou90]

A sober b brown is unlimited!!!!! factual

[@vontaemusic]

In my opinion I think the reason why NE is not together right is really centered around Ralph. Ralph has done a whole lot for NE for the past few years. He helped them with a lot. I told Ralph this on his Facebook page. He helped them with the tours, the NE Story, the Lifetime Achievement awards, the Walk Of Fame, all of that. Ralph has put his ego aside for the group since he joined the group back in 83 when they were kids. He was offered a solo deal but he turned it down because he didn’t want to leave his boys behind. He was gonna do his solo record right before the Heartbreak album came out and he put that on shelf. And he’s been talking about putting a solo album out in the past few years but of he’s been real busy with NE. And everybody in New Edition except for Ralph has had a solo album come out in the past few years. Bobby’s “The Masterpiece” Album, Johnny Gill had 2 albums out “Still Winning” and “Game Changer”, and BBD’s album “Three Stripes” came out last year. It’s Ralph’s turn to shine again. Ralph sacrificed a lot for them. I feel that it’s time for Ralph to do his own thing. I personally want to hear a Ralph Tresvant album before I hear another NE album. I’m confident that NE will be back together for one last run. They’ve worked it out before they’ll do it again.

[@Sunshine-dy2nx]

Haze Jones: Let me enlighten you to some facts you may not know. Ralph owns NE Trademark. What we don't know is if Ralph gave JG half of the Trademark or whether he gave him a percentage of it. If Ralph decided to sell the NE franchise he would be looking at Mega Millions or even Billions of dollars. How would that work you ask? Ralph could sell NE and work for the person or company that would purchase NE and maintain a percentage of NE, or he could sell NE outright. Now, that wouldn't be good for your boys. If Ralph decided to do that all the records BBD and BB sold individually and collectively would pale in comparison. Could Ralph be saying Ummm they sold more records than me, their careers were bigger than mine and, I'm the one that's responsible for bringing them along with me; so what I will do is outsmart them and take NE Trademark right from under them and leave those ungrateful scoundrels in the dust. If I was Ralph Finance Manager or his Accountant I would encourage him to take this route and shut them down completely. I don't know if Ralph would do this but I would strongly encourage him to think about it. After all, what does Ralph owe them? He owes them nothing. He has already given them almost 40 years of his life While they are off doing interviews and anything else New Edition related Ralph gets paid. Anytime NE name is mentioned period Ralph gets paid. "The person that controls the power is the person that controls the money." that would be Ralph. Oh, by the way, Ralph does have it in him, he shut them down and shut them out; you go deal with that.

[@almasasser488]

The NewOne, thank you for the truth. I have been saying the same thing over and over. Rizzo deserves to put something of his own out just like everyone of them did! They don't want to give him that, They rather go out and tour without him, which is not right! So he's right in using the Trademark to stop them! When his music comes out and he finishes his tour, and they finish theirs as RBRM, then they all can come back together as NE

[@laesteredicksonwillis23]

The real story is when Ricky’s story is told, I have so much love and respect for this man, brought himself back from drugs, he has the love of God in his heart and soul, you can’t lose when you turn to Him, with Him he is the Controller. Ricky speaks so highly of the Holy Spirit. To be in a drug addicted condition if you hid it and don’t open up you will never concur it, because if not it’s still in control, you have to step out front face it and take control of your own life. These fellows are masters in their craft. All of them beautiful talented artist.

He will never be skinny like he was when he was young, cause he was on drugs. But i am glad he lost some weight and he sounds good and in an awesome place after all he been through in these past 6 years and even before that. Love them! 😍😍😍

[@theonlykog]

We all owe Bobby Brown an apology.

[@kingyankers1735]

Raider Zacc true

[@DjSsaBackward]

I like Bobby, but why?

[@theonlykog]

DjSsaBackward Do you remember the '90's? He started as RB crooner Bobby Brown, then married Whitney, and he all of a sudden is Gangsta rapper Bobby Brown. We all blamed him for Whitney's descent. We believed the media when they said he got her on cocaine. We shook our finger at him when we learned of his indiscretions. They're were even whispers he was beating her. Now we know the real gangsta was Whitney. She cheated first(WITH TUPAC!). She was beating him. And now, she's no longer with us. He has a new wife and is doing good.

[@visionprods1]

True Bobby brown fans like me never doubted him even when the media tried to demonise him during his marriage to Whitney. I'm just happy to see him vindicated in the eyes of the world

[@almasasser488]

I never blamed him, because i didn't believe it

[@_CaliGirl]

It warms my heart to see them together...all the drama and anger is in the past. I love it. They.re brothers and like family to all of us. We love them.

[@canadianqueen76]

Yo, all the members of BBD aged gracefully. Ronnie always looked so young. It’s going to be cool to see their stage show as RBRM. Oh, and Happy Birthday to Ralph.

[@Shelli1285]

Is it true that the NE name wasn’t trade marked until 2013? That’s so crazy! Anybody could have stolen it over 30 years. I thought their business was handled better than that... #NE4Life

[@StubbornMook]

Y'all forget Head of State when Johnny , Bobby , and Ralph were touring without BBD...

[@Tamiko38]

[@dramahawkpromotions9621]

i didnt forget and i was hoping they recorded an Ep or album

[@mightyblack1]

Heads of State with no BBD can you division back then.So much drama with black groups.

[@nonenone5525]

Because BBD went on tour by themselves. The help was always shady asf.

[@radah25]

None None The second best catalogue out of NE you mean ? Ralph & Johnny are the only shady ones and bitter.

[@dria323]

Yall keep asking where the other members are. You must understand that there are multiple groups within the New Edition group, as well as individual projects. This is RBRM and that's that. True fans already know this.

[@orondekairi7311]

Absolutely! All these grown people on here talking about drama and tea.while these brothers are on here explaining why they are doing what they’re doing. Giving shout out to Ralph and people still like, is Ralph still in the group? Lol

[@lionelkennedy1394]

[@amcra1]

Are you delusional? Multiple groups my ass. New Edition was suppose to be touring last summer off of the momentum biopic. They got serious issues. Let’s not act like that shit ain’t what it is.

No idiot, they’re at odds again and of course Ralph and Johnny aren’t on board. So they need the money and chose to do this. You’re really sound stupid as hell. How dumb are you?

Is it me but it looks like Bobby Brown lost weight.

[@faynitawilliams4437]

[@ladyo8297]

They will always come back together. The loyalty is their always has been, but sometimes the EGO can get too big and need time to balance itself out. Bobby went threw his wild phase and needed to spread his wings why he was acting out so badly. Once that mellowed out he became what we see today a matured humble dude.

[@angie1299]

"Ooh GIRL, I'm SORRY your NOT MY kind of girl" my favorite NE song. I HATE the group can't get it together, but I LOVE them individually and collectively. Ronnie hasn't aged ONE damn day, wth. Anywhooo, I can't WAIT to see them again in person.

30th anniversary of _Heart Break_ and _Don't Be Cruel_ next month! It would've been epic if Bob dropped the miniseries on the anniversary of _Don't Be Cruel_ 🔥🔥🔥but I can't wait til September!!! Hope all six of them find a way to get back together. Ralph and Johnny trademark the _NE_ name so that the RBRM couldn't use it is wrong but hopefully something is worked out soon!!

Sarah Nash, I ask you to go back and look at some old footage on the guys and keep your eyes on Mike Bivins. He got overlooked because he was so short, but his moves were SHARP. Go look and come back and tell me if I'm wrong.

[@nonenone5525]

Lolita Brown I will say without looking that he is a better dancer than Ricky. I know that for sure. Like you said though, it just doesn't stand out because he's dumpy. Ronnie is still a way better dancer and Ricky can sing so he ends up back at the bottom of the totem pole.

New Edition was my first concert this was like 88 89

[@Wendy17719]

BBD said that the plan was to do an album and for it to drop right after the movie. Ralph and Johnny didn't want to do it, so that's why BBD went ahead and dropped it. After the success of the movie, BBD was doing the press tours and they said the plan was for NE to go into the studio, but again, Ralph and Johnny had their issues. If you notice, it was Ronny, Bobby Ricky and Mike that did all the press tours for the promotion of the movie. They were the ones showing up to the various cities. No Ralph and no Johnny. Johnny didn't like how the movie didn't cover his life from childhood to when he joined the group.

[@godcentricimagery1581]

I remember JG saying that in the breakfast club interview. However it's the NE story, not the JG story. They didn't need JG stuff til he joined the same way they didn't cover BB after he was kicked out til right before the fight

Bobby Brown Biopic drops TODAY!!

[@GameBoy-oi1hr]

I like the fact that they are still great friends thats beautiful

[@JonVau]

What about the Bell Biv Devoe Story? One night at least.

[@Sunshine-dy2nx]

Jonathan Lewis: BBD is a one-hit wonder. Even though BBD have put out other songs, however, poison remains their only hit. I don't know why BET thought doing a biopic on BB would be interesting. He has already played his life out on being bobby brown, living with bobby brown and everything else in between for the world to see. No need for a biopic of him. If there is going to be another Biopic it needs to be on Ralph, he is the one that has carried N.E. for almost 40 years. I believe a biopic on him would be just as big as the NE biopic.

[@JonVau]

Sunshine I disagree. Yes, Bobby has laid bare most of his truths already, but a movie is a movie and we'll still learn new things and get to visually see parts of his life we've only heard about. As a super fan of every member of N.E., this excites me. Same as it would for one-night of BBD given that 98% of their era went unexplored. Also, "When Will I See You Smile Again", "Do Me", "Dope", and "Gangsta" weren't hits? Not saying they rivaled Poison's success and reach but they were smashes.

[@Sunshine-dy2nx]

Jonathan Lewis: With all that being said; a biopic on the one man that has lead New Edition, I repeat again for almost 40 would be huge. Other than being the lead singer for NE no one knows much about Ralph his life did not get played out in magazines, tabloids or the news media so it would be nice to get to know the man rather than the singer. This is my opinion I'm not changing it. People always want to know the X Factor, the Unknown.

[@JonVau]

Sunshine that's fair. And a valid opinion. Let me ask you this though -- and this is a completely unrelated side question -- do you not think Ralph was given a bit of a biased shake in the film? He basically could do no wrong whereas the other fellas were kind of painted a singular way. They didn't show/reference the initial reason Biv even had an issue with Rizz. Which was because Biv's mom went to Ralph's house to see what was up after he didn't show up for an award show performance round '86 ish(?) (with no prior warning) and Rizz ignored her completely. I think that's a pretty significant thing to show when portraying two peoples deteriorating friendship.

[@clarazellward2509]

Just my opinion, I've watched these guy's grow up, as most of their fans have. It would have been nice if the guy's could have come to one common ground and each member own a part of the trademark. Including Brooke Payne, who gave the group the name New Edition. One guy in the group is no better than the other. They all have their own individual issues, at the end of the day, where is that New Edition brother hood?

[@nonenone5525]

One guy in the group sings,performs,leads all of the important songs though. He has to be mentally ready to do that.

[@Sheisintrovertlibra]

Does Ralph own BBD trademark? Look I don't know how Johnny got his hands on that trademark but Ralph deserves that trademark NONE OF THEM above cared about that trademark. Sick of people talking about how Ralph and Johnny shady so you rather have Joe Blow have the trademark who had the trademark before Ralph and Johnny why wasn't they checking for it then. This is more then trademark issues because they had toured last in 2016 without no problems while Ralph and Johnny was owners of the trademark name.

[@AnnaMaeBullock]

ClaraZell Ward Brooke Payne is not entitled to the trade mark. A fee maybe. But the original members made the mark.

[@myinnapeaceministries7545]

BBD & THE KING OF R&B

[@IceManLikeGervin]

RBRM. Ralph & Johnny own the trademark to the name 'New Edition' (which Brooke Payne created) and won't add the other 4 fellas to the trademark. It's all about money. They should all be equal partners in that business venture as they are New Edition...Brooke too.

[@kendrajohnson8255]

IceManLikeGervin How is that? Honest question

[@IceManLikeGervin]

Johnny Gill applied for the copywrite of the New Edition name in 2013 and only added Ralph to the contract since then. The rest of the fellas want their fair share of the name profits. Anyone can apply for a trademark www.uspto.gov/ . I'm surprised none of the fellas has applied to own the NE name before Johnny did especially since NE won the battle over the NE name with Maurice Starr in a court of law back in 1983-84.

[@Sunshine-dy2nx]

IceManLikeGervin: Brooke Payne gave them the name New Edition, he did not create the NE TradeMark. BB should not get any part of NE. He has not contributed anything to making NE who they are today. As far as the other 3 their parts were only in the background; they could never be equal to Ralph. Not only does Ralph control the trademark but he also has creative control of the group; now what do I mean when I say that. New Edition is Ralphs' group he controls what is done inside of NE. Ralph has earned the right of Creative Control and the TradeMark. Ralph is the reason RBRM had to get the crowd to sing an NE song, they themselves could not do it. You are so right it is all about money and right now Ralph is banking more money than all 4 of the idiots put together right now without singing one song. When they finally realize the position Ralph has left them in they will come running back, now if it were me I would let them hang out there for a hot second and see if that would mellow their attitudes.

[@IceManLikeGervin]

Without the NE name their would be no trademark issues- comprehend? A trademark serves to identify a particular business as the source of goods or services, in this case NE. Also, NE as a group already won a name battle in court over Maurice Starr when he tried to claim that he gave them their name. New Edition, which is all 6 members 5 of which started out welfare poor in the public government housing complex of Orchard Park, is like a basketball team- everyone has a role and a vote as no man is bigger than the collective. They all deserve creative control concerning NE. You seem oddly happy that the fellas are beefing- why is that? Michael Bivins is richer than all of the other NE members. Ralph needs NE just as much as the fellas need him...you only live once. Hopefully they will all work out their issues and reunite as a group as that is what the fans want to see not some fans sitting on the sidelines with no guidelines...word to the mutha!

[@AnnaMaeBullock]

IceManLikeGervin They fired Bobby once & can continue using him as a temp employee. I hope that Johnny only worked in that capacity as well. Both can stay transactional employees of the brand, like Michelle Williams. And that other poster does sound gleeful that Ralph & Johnny betrayed the others & stole from them. It sounds like that 3rd world peasant, Chonchita that Ralph dragged over the border.

[@rahsaanhill5781]

Love. NE. But Ralph Tresvant is the lead singer period. I don’t know what the problem is.

[@stuntvillestuntmajor3971]

Ralph's first lead. Bobby and Johnny were also lead singers. It was the three lead singers Bobby, Ralph. and Johnny that formed the trio Heads Of State. This is just another form of NE.

[@Sunshine-dy2nx]

Stuntville StuntMajor: You are correct, the three of them lead songs in Heads of State, however, The only songs BB was lead on in NE was Jealous Girl, and Telephone Man. Other than starting this group with MB and RB, BB plays no significant role in NE.

[@AnnaMaeBullock]

rahsaan hill Bulltwinkie!!? Not even on his best day. That mousy voice kept them trapped in adolescence. But now he's fried his voice. Ricky, Ronnie & Bobby can carry the group. Johnny can kick rocks & go back to "directing choir rehearsal".

[@NODE1975]

Also someone mentioned that he has the shortest individual set of all of the members. So what he sings everything else does he need a longer set?

[@jolauren1951]

New edition includes all six members and the six members only. That’s why RT and JG trademark the name...It wouldn’t be the same with just four members touring and performing classics of and under the name “New Edition”.

Jo Lauren Johnny Gill should not have trade marked the name.he will always be looked at as the add on

Haze Jones He is not just a “add on” He gave them the “mature” image as they made the transition from kids to adults. He is the most talented vocally as of today still. He is just as important as RT but they are all brothers and it can’t be four members touring as “New Edition”. They probably knew something like this would happen so they prepared for it, thus the reason why he trade marked it also. He done a lot for New Edition.

[@d-staxworldwidestax7112]

Haven't seen all six of them made an album since Home Again.

[@AnnaMaeBullock]

Jo Lauren New addiction is five members. Johnny is an ungrateful thief who should somewhere "directing choir rehearsal".

[@AnnaMaeBullock]

Jo Lauren Jenny Gill's done nothing for NE but bite the hand that fed him. He is absolutely an add on, like Michelle Williams. He stole those men work product & legacy. And he probably only added Ralphs dope fiend self to strengthen his claim & keep from looking ludicrous.

I never heard of Ramona Debreaux, but i'm very glad i stumbled on this. She's very talented, fun, respectful, enthusiastic, great interviewer, nice speaking voice. all the qualities a radio host should have. I'm very curious 2 c how this RBRM incarnation pans out . It seems these guys are set to go, but Ralph and Johnny probably have other ideas. ha. Hope it goes well 4 them

[@traycee2404]

Much success to all the members.

[@crystalandrews5847]

Mike Bivens and Ronnie have a very special swag to me. They feel like brothers. Well hell, I love all of New Edition! Ralph Tresvant is so sexy, Ronnie......but the street credits go to Mr. Bivens. He knows the business inside and out. I am appalled that he let this trademark slip right pass him! Wow. I agree with a lot of the other comments about the Bobby Brown Story coming in September 2018. He says he and his "wife" produced this film. Hmmmm…..anyway may Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina Brown please rest easy now. The clean up woman or "current wife" and family gets a better family version of Bobby Brown. SMH

[@Crazyonepro]

How about an album from RBRM?

[@Sunshine-dy2nx]

Mr.Abiy: Yes, there should be an album from the great and powerful RBRM. Personally, I can hardly contain myself with anticipation with all the great talent flowing within RBRM. I'm sure they will have an album to surpass all albums they have done so far. Come on Ricky it's time for that new album. Hold up, wait a minute didn't Ricky put out an album three strips or something like that right? Which song is MB leading, I think I missed that one. What song does RD lead I believe I missed that one also.

[@Crazyonepro]

Sunshine Mike and Ronni will do the rapping and Rickey and Bobby will do the singing ...you think they can't do that? ... The album will sound more Hip hop .... Doesn't have to be like an NE ... BTW thats the great thing about NE ...you can create totaly different sound by combing different members of them. RBRM will have their own flavor .

[@d-staxworldwidestax7112]

Yeah

[@nonenone5525]

Sunshine lmao. Sis I can't with the sarcasm. You forgot Bob. Surely he has some unlistenable screaming left in him. Can't wait to hear the masterpiece.

How about that? they own the name but what are they doing with the fellas? no shows? they're slowly pissing me off!

[@terranceharris4686]

This interview sucked because it didn't deal with the elephant in the room. Where are the other two members?

[@ajsassy788]

Terrance Harris Exactly! We want tea! We want ALL of NE!

Terrance Harris There is no tea...it's New Edition marketing themselves it's another group within the group. Listen to "Cool it now" Ralph prophetically pronounced this group and now's the time. New Edition aren't going to ever split up. It's a different incarnation of the group so that they will remain relevant. Bobby Brown, BBD, Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant, Heads of State, now RBRM. It's another branch of the New Edition tree. Brilliant Marketing!! If you reinvent your self, you never become obsolete. Brilliant.

[@terranceharris4686]

To be clear I didn't say Tea. But you are talking about marketing. Nothing NE could have did would have been bigger than them doing an album and tour following the movie. They missed that opportunity and now these 4 are attempting something falls way short in hopes that the NE fans show up anyways. If you don't believe there is a fallout somewhere you are crazy...lol

[@box5bastard277]

We want tea? Foh with that dumb shit. Is that all sistas and some brothas want with our people? Y'all lame as fuck yell

[@Tamiko38]

Mel Jacobs you explained that perfectly . people dont know what marketing and staying relevant means? Wow its amazing how dumb people are ... aint nothing wrong ...they just know how to sell and market themselves simple as that sheesh

[@phillysheed01]

Bobby doing Mike Tyson is priceless.

[@J-Boog]

Why is Johnny on the trademark with Ralph? Johnny was the new member of the group. It should be everybody on it and he shouldn’t be included. He’s in like 6 different groups anyway . Still acquiring money from every single one of them

[@Sunshine-dy2nx]

rajah77 Ralph is NE.

[@shaunc5052]

Technically NE is bobbies group he started the group and got everyone together even Ralph admits that it was Bobby who started and founded the group.. basically it’s like how an owner can get fired from his own company because you have the board of directors so the rest of the group was like the board and they kicked him out of his own group. That’s why on the movie he said new edition died a long time ago when he left the group, there’s no new edition without Bobby brown

[@AnnaMaeBullock]

Sunshine Ralph is a 5th of NE. And they don't need him. The group already won a tradmark suit against one thief. So taking down a crackhead & dick catcher should be a cake walk.

[@NODE1975]

Actually the trademark should first belong to the person that came up with the name then the to the people that made the name what it is. I do think Johnny was shady for doing what he did. He did get sued when that Home Again tour ended early even though he claimed to have never missed a show. He did it to recoup his money
