 One of the most iconic and influential R&B bands in history recently received their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, had a critically acclaimed biopic mini-series on BET, and are still performing and releasing various projects. Feel free to discuss the group, the solo ventures, and anything else New Edition-related!  |

They had everybody plus god on their side for that mini-series because it was perfect! The best one I've seen based on a music artist since The Jacksons: An American Dream.

BET mini-series was excellent.
Expanded versions of most of their albums were released as digital-only recently. Heartbreak and Home Again are 2 CD sets including tons of remixes of their singles. They did the same with Bobby Brown Don't Be Cruel, BBD Poison and self titled albums by Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant. It's a shame they are not releasing physical versions.

Cussapella?!  So glad there is a thread for these legends. Based on my uncle's suggestion (he loves telling me about how he grew up with Ronnie and played b-ball with NE back in Roxbury/Dorchester), I started the miniseries. I got through the first two sections and was immediately thirsty for NE music. I remember buying my cousin Ralph's debut on cassette to support him (but not liking much of it except Sensitivity LOL) and the Home Again CD, which was very strong. I actually forgot how amazing and iconic the N.E. Heartbreak album was. I might have to buy the digital re-release now. As for the miniseries, I really thought BET did a great job, although I feel like most of it was just them fighting, LOL. Also, they made the Orchard Park interior look like a house in Roslindale.  Boston projects, especially in that time period, did NOT look like that. Otherwise, good singing, strong acting, and good direction. Not surprised that it was well done though when I saw the credits and noticed Jam & Lewis, Babyface, and the guys were all involved. I am surprised at Bobby's portrayal though. I could have sworn that he claimed he never did coke until he met Whitney, but the series depicts him as a cokehead as a teenager LOL. Anyway, can't wait to watch Part III. |

I was surprised at the edition of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and Babyface as well but I was reading some behind the scenes interviews and they had them on-board because they had the cast re-record all of the songs used in the series. The "Can You Stand the Rain" scene had me in chills. Luke James is a BEAST! I need more material from him because he's been MIA since his debut. He needs to get back up on his mixtape game again.

I really enjoyed the mini series. Forgot how many great songs they had and I've been playing a lot of their music on Spotify.

Yeah, it makes sense that in order to re-record the originals, the people responsible for them would have to be on board. Seriously though, what happened to Luke James's career that he has been reduced to playing Johnny Gill on a BET miniseries though? I guess some exposure is better than none. #blameJessieJ

The biopic was excellent. The best thing BET has ever done.

We will have to wait and see.
They really missed a big opportunity by not touring in 2017 and 2018.
