Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph and Johnny celebrate 30+ years in the game with a new tour, and I was fortunate enough to catch New Edition live in concert.

New Edition Tour Dates (And Why You MUST See Them On Tour)
If you’re a fan of R&B music, there are very few groups out there who can still give you the whole package-great singing, classic showmanship. I can’t imagine you’ll get much better than New Edition. The 6-man supergroup reunited for real this year after several years spent pursuing a variety of solo pursuits, from reality TV (hi Bobby) to real estate (Ronnie…can you imagine getting ready to buy a house and it turns out your agent is 1/3 of BBD??)

Award Show Sundays: Can You Stand the Rain?
I could write an entire article about the disappearance of the R&B group (matter of fact, I think I will at some point), but back in the late Eighties, there was no shortage of solid multi-member units. Check out the list of nominees for Best Album by a Duo, Group of Band at the 1989 Soul Train Music Awards. You had Guy’s influential debut album, which set the stage for the burgeoning hip-hop/R&B fusion. There was “Who?”, the solid debut […]
Macy & Bobby Bring the Sweet & the Funny in “Real Love” Clip
There have been many dynamic duos in the rock and roll era: Marvin & Tammi, Peaches & Herb, the Captain & Tennille. But…Macy Gray & Bobby Brown? I’m not sure how the two hooked up, but whoever thought of pairing the two together deserves some kind of genius grant. Who’d have thought that crazy + crazy would equal a song as sweet as it is nutty? The video for the song (the second Bobby-related clip to hit this week) is […]
Bike Shorts Were NEVER Cool: Wayne Brady & Mike Tyson Take On Bobby Brown
This is by FAR the funniest thing I’ve seen all week. Funnyordie.com’s latest viral clip features “Let’s Make a Deal” host/Grammy nominated R&B singer Wayne Brady appearing in a seriously authentic revision of Bobby Brown’s classic 1989 video for “Every Little Step”. Not that the video took a lot of trouble to recreate. All you need is some video chicks, a white background and those big-ass block letters. The biggest expense was probably the recreation of the wardrobe, although I […]
Macy Gray Sells Out…Or Does She?
I’ve been leading y’all off this site quite often recently, haven’t I? I’m sorry. Anyhow, Macy Gray’s back with a new album called “The Sellout”, and it’s actually quite good! I mentioned a week or so ago on our Facebook page how it features a duet with Bobby Brown (yes, THAT Bobby Brown) and it’s actually one of the album’s best tracks! So click on over to Popdose to see what I have to say about the album and check out […]
