      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.

    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 🙋🏾‍♂️

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!
