"Run Boyzone over with your big American truck" was my favorite bit 😂
You know the one 🛻 beep beep
@@DianeJenningsmiss Diane I grew up on boyz to men in the 90s in Los Angeles California ( this was done in 1997 ) I knew you were one of us you need to do a whole 90s R&B ( rhythm and blues ) hour and tell us what you think, let me suggest water runs dry by them ( in the 90s boy bands didn’t necessarily dance that only became a thing in the early 2000
@@DianeJenningsboys 2 men were a good band😊
Ye should do more Boyz II Men...they even had Bobby Brown as a front man (yup, that one...)
I just looked them up.
They sound like a contemporary Christian singing group. 😊
Boys ll men is the greatest combination of voices of all time.
On of the greatest slow dance songs of my middle school life…if I only danced and didn’t just help hold up the wall
Dude, same! I still remember having a friend of a girl come ask me to dance for her because she was too shy AND I was too shy to dance horribly, so I said no.
I don’t often kick myself for my decisions as an adolescent, but that’s one I’d like back just because older me had the realization that she had to like me to want to ask me to dance and I was too stupid to even contemplate that possibility.
It was a good “couples skate” song too lol!! GET OFF THAT WALL🕺🏾💃🏽
Finally someone who can comment without pausing and giving a 15 minute analysis everytime … keep up the good work
The Irish have a lovely and deep love for music xx
This song was #1 in the US from August 9 - November 7, 1992 at the time, a record-breaking 13 weeks! It would be surpassed by Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You mere months later. Idk your birthday/age, Diane, but I imagine it's around that time. I would love to see you react to the #1 song the week you were born on this channel!!
I asked my housemate & she said Boys2Men was definitely popular in Australia, which only thickens the mystery around Ireland, maybe one of them was allergic to stout
Their first album "Cooleyhighharmony" is amazing, start to finish fantastic!
B2M. Nothing like a heart to heart talking in the middle of a song to his girl....
Right?! 😂 that would be my bit in the band
All story’s from the streets of Philadelphia. Birthplace of the nation.
Boyz to men was them bulls down north philly with the voices
Boyz II Men took their name from the title of a New Edition song 'Boys to Men'. New Edition member Mike Bivens was their original producer. Their name caught his attention because of the correlation.
Boys II Men is the greatest R&B group. You should listen to their song On Bended Knee
Classic group and song
Awesome reaction to a great song honey!
Darealdeal
subscribed 😂 you had me laughing at the head tilt to about 3:44
First concert I went to in 1990 something...
The best song of theirs ever!
It’s really good
They didn’t make it big in Ireland because the Irish have this form of music that’s suppose to be like black American R&B. It’s not bad, but I can 100% see why this music wouldn’t have resonated in a place like Ireland when they have their form of it.
Also, you asked when they were around. These guys hey-day and this album would have been around the time Ireland was obsessed with Take-That. I know this because like many Americans I binge watched Derry Girls. I remember the time era that show was supposed to be. I remember the Clinton episode and the obsession with Take-That.
That time is exactly at the height of these guys. Backstreet Boys fame started worldwide in 1998 and on. Different cultural eras. I’m glad you asked the question.
P.S
You should do a reaction for this video of theirs. What’s crazy is that the white sand and the filming of this is was in America. I know me and every American, was like, “Say word? That’s in America?” After you watch. Don’t just take my word for it. Do a fact check. Google where “Boys II Men Water Runs Dry Video was filmed.” Enjoy lady 🙋🏾♂️

I'm having flashbacks to awkward Jr. High School dances and their song On Bended Knee in 1994 lol. Another great one from this era was I swear by All-4-One
Ooh lala!
now that you've seen the original. Check out Home Free's cover of this song
Should react to bended on knees by Boyz 2 men
I like the shameless but necessary plug. If RUclips takes away ad money, you have to make it up somewhere, so Patreon or channel memberships are good ways to fund the work.
Boys II Men are not my style of music, but they're good for what they are.
Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds was the songwriter/producer who talked about his divorce inspiring the song, but he was not a member of the band. The co-writer Daryl Simmons was also divorced, but was not in the band. The band members were well over 10 years younger than Edmonds and Simmons.
I seeee! Thanks for explaining. I vaguely remember Daryl Simmons on mtv for something
Why are you surprised they all have good voices?
Don't forget you was going to do the live version of led zeppelin stairway to heaven so much better than the studio
Try Boys 2 Men and Maria Carrie
Them with Mariah Carey singing ONE SWEET DAY is total perfect harmony
16 weeks on the top of the chart Billboard Hot 100!
Agree really shows there vocals
That band was huge back in the early to mid 90's.
In terms of popularity, think of Taylor swift now
If you like Boyz II Men and what to check out more of their songs; I recommend you check out their song *I’ll Make Love To You* , *One Sweet Day* , *It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday* and *A Song for Mama*
Great names. The first one is ringing a bell.
Boyz II Men was an amazing group! The harmony still gives me chills. Their music brings me back to my childhood and how much my sister and I loved listening to them. ❤
It’s mad we didn’t get them but I guess touring Ireland wouldn’t have done much for them 😂 too small
@DianeJennings yes, they were before NSync and Backstreet
They're still together now trio
Boyz II Men is one of my favorites bands ever. So talented....and named after a song from another favorite of mine, New Edition.
That’s so interesting Jason! I never would’ve guessed
wow, haven't listened to BoyzIIMen in a very long time! I forgot just how great they sounded. Another great choice and reaction Diane, thanks! Cheers 💚
So good! Glad you enjoyed it
Boys II Men's First Two Albums Cooley High Harmony and II are there most popular albums that play on the radio and music video tv. They also have sang them live at music awards.
Wow, I did not expect to see Boyz 2 Men on this channel! Great music! They still tour by the way. I was a kid when they started. Their songs are still on the radio in America today. Great reaction!
1:28 these guys were so insanely talented, I didn’t care what they looked like
I wouldn't call them a "boy band" they were an R&B/Motown band. As I saw them was like a 90's updated version of the Tempations, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles...
I like how you're now exploring into the boy bands. Your musical explorations are always fun to watch.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the musical Journey, Paul
Boyz II Men were HUGE in the US in the 1990s. They had some amazing harmonies. For an upbeat song, I would go with Motown Philly, which was pretty huge. For slower ballad acapella tearjerker, It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday. Another popular and great demonstration of their vocal harmonies is their cover of In The Still Of The Nite.
1:43 so much nostalgia, insane amount of memories had this song playing in the background
I still get goosebumps EVERY SINGLE TIME! Makes me a bit emotional now that I’m older.
Early 90’s, lots of hearts broken to this song.
I’ll bet 😅
I love this reaction! Your reactions are so cute! This song, and group, are amazing.
Aww thanks Phillip! I’m glad you like them
Love Boyz II Men! Memories from my childhood ❤
Truly a great group. Timeless and classic staying power real singing talent
Definitely
Finally! A group and a song that I can 💯endorse. This brought back all the feels of days long gone. I listened the heck out of their songs. Good pick!
6:32 finding a 90’s r&b song associated with an Eddie Murphy film is like shooting fish in a barrel
That song broke Elvis Presley's 36 year old record for weeks at number 1 at 12 weeks on the Billboard charts. Then Whitney Houston broke it with "I Will Always Love You" at 14 weeks. Then Boyz II Men tied it at 14 weeks with "I'll Make Love To You." Then they became the only artist to knock themselves out of the number 1 spot with their own song "On Bended Knee," but it only lasted 6 weeks at the number 1 spot. Finally, they broke the record again at 16 weeks with a duet with Mariah Carey called "One Sweet Day," which still stands today.
7:31 Fun Fact: Boyz II Men ( _Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA_ ) and Boyzone ( _Dublin To Detroit_) both released a MoTown album where they covered some of the same songs.
Boys 2 Men is a good quartet group with the comfortable easy listening jams. Very heart warming loyal song and one of their best songs. Thanks for sharing the musical journey. I enjoyed listening to the song with You.
We agree! Very well put. Thanks Rickey!
@@DianeJennings Your welcome Diane! 😊
Romance music was different back then =) Much more genuine and less gross.
GOATS of the 90's in there genre. Shout to Ireland
I enjoyed your R & B dancing vibes and reaction to the song. You know what would be cool a dancing emoji for the music reaction videos.
Over 35 years these guys hit differently
Boyz II Men were the biggest selling group of the 1990s in the US.
If you love harmony groups. you would love groups like the Mills Brothers, the Ink Spots, and the Platters. Give them a listen!
how about a tour of an irish bus system, like in Dublin,
Yeah Diane, B2M were the epitome of boy band long before nsync or backstreet boys
Diane puts on her headphones and a stylish black shirt
Then she gives us a shameless but necessary plug alert
When the music starts, she gets in the grove
Boyz II Men are her jam, just look at her move
Wheee 🎉 luv it
You've gotta watch Home Free rendition of "End of the Road"
8:10 Diane should definitely give they’re song “Motown Philly”
Funny story. This song came out when I was stationed in Germany. We were out in the field and without any headphones, I would play this song repeatedly...fifty times in a row. I was in a tent with 20 other soldiers and not one of them complained when I rewound that cassette tape and played it again and again. Thank you, Diane, for keeping this song alive. I love your reactions. Your accent reminds me of my Irish soldier buddy who I had to rescue from many bar fights but yours sounds cuter.
4:08 & now the last member, the deep one
Boyz II Men were the biggest selling group of the 1990s in the US. This was played at every school dance in the 1990s, too.
The group was named after a popular New Edition song Boys To Men. NE are legends! They're the blueprint for all boy bands after Jackson 5.. You should check them out sometime. They started in 1983 with Bobby Brown being a founding member. They still perform today and all of the members went on to do solo projects and for spin off groups like Bell Biv Devoe. Check out If It Isn't Love and Can You Stand The Rain.
B2M was well before NSync but about the same time as New Kids On the Block and Back Street Boys. I'm the dinosaur as usual.
Stahp! I must check out nkotb sometime
@@DianeJenningsWell you'll be surprised if you check out New Kids On The Block for I believe Donnie Wahlberg was one of the fellas. He's Mark Wahlberg's older brother that became famous 1st. I Find it interesting that both Wahlberg's became famous for singing then had success in movies. Mark Wahlberg otherwise known as Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch "Good Vibrations"
Having now heard the stellar original it might be good to try the "Home Free" cover also incredibly good.
Diane, this is one of the first Boybands of the "Boyband" era that made it big in the early 1990s.
7:48 Boyzone would of had a tough time breaking America in the 90s with their name. There was a adult magazine by the same name that was risqué.
Omg 😂 😱 their manager famously put them together because they looked well together and that was it
Boyzone actually did tour in the US and Canada.
Hey Diane I got your wish, I’m here
"I'm afraid for the calendar. Its days are numbered."
Nooooo 😂
Diane: "He's the cutie one, He's the cutie one"
Chewy (or Chewie?): "Hold on one damn minute!"🐶
😂 in the band of course!
Went down the music rabbit hole and found some cover band songs I never knew Boys II Men Sang like Cyndi Laupers Time After Time, Journey(band) Open Arms, Grease Live Beauty School Dropout, The Five Satins In Still of Night(original song is on movie dirty dancing).
Post Modern Jukebox does great stuff
Good selection. This was a huge hit at the time, it broke chart records in the US, reached #1 in just about every English speaking country in the world, including Ireland, and was top 10 in many other countries. They had so many hit songs, I'd be surprised if they didn't visit Ireland or the UK at least a few times back then! 😊
Hi. Loved your reaction. Plz react to “ Mariah Carey and Boyz ll Men -One Sweet Day ( from Fantasy: Live at Madison Square Garden) 😊😊 thx.
Another Good R&B quartet group is called All-4-One. Best known for singing song cover songs of 90s Country Music John Micheal Montgomery and 60s quintet group The Tymes. John Micheal Montgomery has the country jams try listening to his albums Life's a Dance, Kickin' It Up, John Micheal Montgomery(album).
You have to check out Home Free! The guy Tim who sings bass can rattle the speakers with his low notes. I've seen them twice in concert. They do this song and it is amazing!!!

This was the first CD I ever had. Can't remember how old I was but was in elementary school and listened to it on repeat when I had the chickenpox. I'm gonna guess it was '94
What inspired NYSNYC and Backstreet Boys probably
As a New Yorker I loved recognizing the scenes in the video.
I loved Boyz II Men as a youngster! They were my top favorite R&B group for sure. lmao, I'm a white guy but I grew up listening to rap and R&B.. those were the days! All of that ended when I began high school, though. After I moved in with my dad in a small town away from urban life, I began to listen to rock and now as an adult I can enjoy most all music. So I'm happy that I'm well rounded! xD
Though!! My feelings on rap/R&B is that everything modern/released these days is garbp in comparison. I'll still jam to this and Tupac! hahahha, wow.
Wow, thank you for taking me back to the early 90's. And now I feel old!
2:17 couldnt agree more. His name is wanya very cute. Listen to him in 'song for mama' 'make love to you' and 'doin just fine' great cover
Check out the song 'Pass you by' by these guys, so good.. Great vid btw...
I learned something new today that Boys II Men original name was unique attraction learn that new today.
They ended up choosing the name Boyz II Men because a group who they were fans of named New Edition had a song with that same name. One of the members in New Edition, Michael Bivins signed them to his label.
BoyzIIMen came after New Edition/New Kids on The Block and after N'Sync/Backstreet Boys/etc. They're from Philadelphia, PA!
Um.... What's with the Boy Band comparisons. I've never once put these guys in a category with Boy Bands of any type. R&B Vocal Groups are their own class! They are what Boy Bands seem to badly PARODY!
If you're black, straight up boy band bubblegum pop is somehow 'R&B'; meaningless category these days. 😁
R&B = black pop music and adult contemporary.
The name comes from a new edition song by the same name they were discovered by micheal bivens and babyface was one the songs writers who also has a great voice too
I remeber this song. I think they came out when I was still in High Scool (late 80s.) This is one of my favorite songs.
wow at least you got there about 30 years later...😂😂😂
Checkout the whole Cooleyhighharmony Album...Big album
"They've all got the voices!" ME: (Laughs in 90's)
Mike McCrary is the member with the cane. He had scoliosis, and eventually had to leave the group because he could not keep up with the demands of touring.
Boyz 2 Men and New Edition were years before Nsync, The Backstreet Boys, or any of the other so called "boy bands".
great reaction! this song was a classic from back in the day. If you're looking for a vocal harmony group, you should check out Pentatonix. Amazing.
Michael McCary and his bass "speaking solos" were such a distinctive part of the Boyz II Men sound.
Too bad his health gave out in their prime, and he left right after.
I think this is your first R&B reaction. You picked a good one.
I'm surprised Boyz II Men weren't big in Ireland. They were huge in the U.S. I have to say, though, that the name sounds to me like the title of a middle school sex-ed video.
Philadelphia has a long tradition of vocal groups. Hall and Oates are from Philly (you really should check them out), as are The Dixie Hummingbirds, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Sister Sledge, Danny & the Juniors, and The Delfonics.
Have you heard of the half-plus-seven rule? If you divide your age in half and add seven, that's the lowest age for a romantic partner without it being creepy. So if you're 22, the youngest person you should be with would be 18. It's a pretty good rule of thumb.
Yes I’ve heard that rule. It’s definitely not always right. Life stages are most important I think
@@DianeJenningsoh, yes, check out Hall and Oates ("Sara Smile" and "She's Gone"). Darryl Hall had incredible vocal range!
@@DianeJenningsthis .us8c would have been for school dances, the e---- section. Right.😅
Babyface was not part of BoyzIIMen. He wrote the song. He's also a bit older than them. They're grown, married men with children now. The one with the cane had health issues and left the group in the early 2000s, I believe.
You’re so cute. Thank you for keeping this alive. This was my twenties.
While this is a boy band, it is typically classified into different group than groups like in *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys. Boys to men was an R&B group meaning, rhythm and blues.
Babyface was not in Boyz II Men. Babyface was a successful music artist himself but became an even more successful music producer/writer.
The guy with MS had to leave the band as his illness got worse. I believe I heard they continued to give him a share of their earnings. If true that was a classy thing to do. Wayan who Dianne thought was cute was on Dancing With The Stars many years later. Even though he was rather short and husky he was very good and graceful...he might have won. Great group!
