boyz ii men - star spangled banner (from video: then ii now)

[QDavis58]

the best talent philly had

[domino0328]

I love Nate's voice in this. Boyz II Men is hands down the BEST male group EVER. Holding those harmonies even without music? Hands down

[SuperGuitarman69]

@domino0328 Take 6.. I love Boyz to Men, but they don't have the "chills" moments that Take 6 does..

[apewrathful]

2 people are nazis

[mario02g]

I have respected this video for about 10 years....still sounds as beautiful today, as the day I heard it from the original VHS

[hoodmanveli]

I swear I wish I was able to sing like them

[cmbuvi92]

its almost like God made their voices for each other. Amazing!

[leggerotenor]

Take 6 and Boys II Men the reason music is right, where are the new young talent to bring this type of music again?

[jerpao13]

the hair behind my neck raised straight up haha

[MrBOBBYOO6]

No disrespect to them..BUT NSYNC DID IT BETTER..NSYNC GAVE ME GOOSEBUMps...

[jmateen1]

@MrBOBBYOO6 you do know that NSYNC was just now gettin zits when these guys was performing. NO group harmonizes better than this group...closest group out is a group called brutha

[chicagotransam]

@jmateen1

I do believe you meant to use the word "were" in replacement for all of the times you used "was". Enjoy flipping burgers for the rest of your life, loser.

[jmateen1]

didnt know you needed a degree in english to post comment on youtube. by flipping burgers you mean being a sports physcian right? lmao racist prick i get paid to go to college while your paying off loans, take my cock out your mouth

[chicagotransam]

@jmateen1

What did that have to do with race? If you can't form a proper sentence on here, I highly doubt you could handle medical school. I haven't any student loans; I got scholarships. Glad to see you're getting a degree with no money or intelligence though.

[jmateen1]

@chicagotransam 3.4 GPA says other wise buddy. i can form a proper sentence when i need to. dnt really care about the way i type a freakin comment you youtube. a lil fyi, i have over 500K in grants buddy and graduated 3rd in my class out of HS. still dnt see what NSYNC being no where near as great as B2M has anything to do with this. i was right and u changed the subjuect. bye dummy. ( i kno i just shitted on you pride just now)

[darksideseem]

Only two Star Spangled Banners give me chills. This one and Whitney Houston's. They're so crazy good. Best R&B Group of all time, hands down.

[cmbuvi92]

1 English person watched this

[4516008]

Where did they sing this? Was it in their hometown of Philadelphia? (I'm assuming their old high school)?

[BreathofPsalms103]

outstanding...harmonies are heart felt

[nono3779]

Heavenly

[adrianrene1]

ahh, man. epic voices right there!

[scribe678]

Simply beautiful!!!  Well done guys!!

[TheStrawbeery]

@cherrysundae23 please don't put take 6 and boy 2men in the same sentence as matter of fact they have 2 different syles you can't say take 6 is better boyz 2men are legends

[DusKelPatNCarzErica]

There's only two versions of the star spangled banner that gave me chills, this one and the one done by NSYNC. I think by the end of this one, I was on my knees bowing to the kings....lol.

[kostarz]

as great as nate, wanya and shawn are as a trio, the group's sound isn't complete without mike....

[ugottheblues]

part of it can be excused because theres less people singing but like i know some stuff about music and all that and these guys have amazing voices but as far as the arrangement and the chords that are used and all the dissonance and just incredibly creative genius type stuff, take 6's version puts boyz ii men to shame. go watch take 6's version of the star spangled banner if you havent already. i feel like as far as the arrangement i couldve arranged the boyz ii men version. take 6 is amazing

[rebharath]

amazing harmony!!!!  and the leafs jersey @ 1:22 :)

[JavierTheOne88]

so beautiful

[bangades]

i'm not even american, yet i love this version of the anthem..

Boyz II Men were trully blessed singers..

[Geolen23]

Sick!! There will never be an other BIIM...........

[flipcracka]

can't nobody put it down like b2m

[gj2766155]

Dont miss them, they are still around, preforming, singing look for them

[mommyof21981]

damn i miss these guys so much....this is amazing...they did so damn good

[starlightbree]

iFelt they could of ended it w/ a lil more ... POW.!

B2M .... the BEST male R&B group of ALL TIME

[kenshady007]

1:35-1:40 is amazing...Boys II Men's Harmony is amazing

[rossiraki]

SICK SHEATATATATAT

[suiraj91]

LMBO!

[aida819]

Mad talent!!! always been, still and always be the greatest !!!

[TrickyPricky24]

I've been a fan of Boyz II Men since 1995 and even now 14 years later, they're still my favorite!

[flipcracka]

damn you just made me feel old.. i been a fan since 91.. still my #1 favorites in music

[llcoolwii]

nate was right. most of the singer who are famous only want to sing not because of the money

[jarius1ford]

i love these fuckin niggas!!( no homo)

Coming from cordele georgia...310(damn right)

[Knizzle28]

Wanya is great, but Shawn is the beast of the group

[True2Swagg]

Hands down.I rest my case

[xxunpr3d1ctable]

lol @ shawn wearing a toronto maple leafs jersey.

[SxyGrl44]

JESUS. You guys are krazie talented!! ..I loved yall since the first day I heard you guys. Amazing...I will never forget you guys!!..I love yall!!

[WendellnCandace1]

You sound as if they're retiring or something. Boyz II Men are forever. They're not going anywhere. Trust

[BIGKANT]

If anything Take 6 has all vocal ranges high, low you name it.

[BIGKANT]

Take 6... especially the Mcknight Brothers are the group that Boyz 2 Men look up to. LOL @ serratos459!!!

[darknluv]

blows ur mind right? oh my these guys mastered harmony---no one can duplicate--no one! um

[laffy]

Wanyaa sings better than all of dem but he's not that educated in performin arts

[serratos459]

look the way i see it take 6 was pretty good in their version of the star spangled banner!!!

but they dont come close to boys 2 men

wanya morris would kill all of them single handedly lol... and probably untouched lol.. wanya is too good lol...

boys 2 men no doubt are the best male vocalist ever....

[tuzwol]

yeah,the best group of the new school,no doubt

[morenaso1]

@serratos459 Theyre good really good. Listen to take 6 and see what you think

[chillhood]

I used to have this vhs. a must have for fans

[Gladiator1210]

Wow.

[123abc5678]

their harmonization always blows my mind!!!

they r always incredible!!!!

[joshuarhargrove]

and Mark Kibble can sing.. but Wanya would destroy him.. no doubt

[joshuarhargrove]

yall done lost yalls minds.. take 6 can sing yes.. but when they stand next to b2m please believe they fall short.. WAY short... Wanya is unstopable.. take 6 could never reach the same level as b2m.. best group of all time... HANDS DOWN!!

[konduktor53]

Wow......Few statesments are so far from incorrect. And I am a HUGE BOYZ II MEN fan. YOu of course are entitled to your opinion, but.....wow lets not be silly.

[joshuarhargrove]

UNSTOPABLE.. i cant say dat enough.. B2M gives me chills err time i hear them.. they are untouched by any group or solo artist vocally.. the national anthem has yet to be sung better by anyone or group .. Wanya destroys it.. very amazing group..

[divinedes]

take 6 look it up

[dmajoruk]

that's what I'm Saying! Take 6 Version can't be touched vocally!

[divinedes]

I told you!!!

[DawgcityClev]

Dont even mention Take 6 with other acappella groups. Take 6 is on another planet, thanks to genius like Mervyn Warren... They hit flats and sharps that average acappella groups won't attempt to touch. Even Boyz To Men, and these guys are great at what they do.

But I'm tired of people mentioning Take 6 in the same breath. Mervyn and Mark of Take 6 will single-handedly destroy most group leads themselves. Let alone the entire group.

[kosstmoran]

Thank You!

[BrendaLParson]

THOSE R BRIAN McKNIGHT BROTHAS

[MusicANDMe2000]

Where are the other 2 parts??

[borwick007]

original and best..

[pickzkickz]

WHO?! J/J, they're a very good harmonizing group as well. The only thing is that they never had the really huge hits nor the Babyfaces or Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis songwriters so they will rarely ever be mentioned in the same breath. Good group though.

[necktie305]

this is old n no one one will ever sing better than the have...

[PersonMan1234]

Wow. In 2 minutes my impression of B2M went from 'They're a good a capella and pop group, but there are better' to 'They are good, decent human beings, who care about their music, and who don't just let money and success cloud their vision'. I guess i need to go listen to more of their stuff now.

[flashnizmmm]

do they write their own music? did they write this arrengement of the spangled banner?

[marq1580]

Like are you serious!?! Anybody who denies these guys as the best male group in the past 30 years has GOT to be crazy. There is nor hasn't been a group since Boyz II Men came out in 91' that can even come CLOSE to touching their harmonies. This was just sick!

[Shakaxlakaxboom]

i love it <3

[StuTins]

Such incredible singers,composers,and most importantly, humble guys. Great video...

[Rihanna2b]

OMG LOVE IT

[randyjsing]

This recording was better then the one I heard that combined My Country Tis of Thee with it...

They seemed to be in tune more...this was amazing...

[ramalnosaj]

The harmony is simply ridiculous...They blend so well together. Few if any can pull it off like that. Perfect tones, so smooth...I could listen to em all day.

[lmaher19]

are these guys ever going to get some sort of lifetime achievement from the american music awards or something?

[tongarigine]

I am a huge boys 2 men fan and think that this is one of the best versions of the SSB but you have to check out Destiny's Child at Houston. It's pretty good also.

[blacraven]

flawless

[PellMJ]

Yeah, I don't know why you mentioned Noah, he wasn't a Jew.

[just1tino]

absolutly flawless...??

perferct..thats why they are boys to men..

nevr will be anything better...unique..and beautiful..

[geehale]

THE BEST!

[fdemon85]

well said froggy

[dvious87]

you're stupid. shut up. you make us Christians look like morons.

[froggy1230]

Boys 2 Men are the greatest group that will ever live.

lol, RascalMate, you need to get a job or atleast a hobby, your religion speaches are getting old, no one cares.

[Bl6ckWom6n]

OMG!!!!!!!! I got this video for christmas YEARS ago when I was a child and I screamed like a crazy person. I have no idea where it is now, my babies probably ruined it, but this was one of my fav parts on the cassette.

[blackdahlia1979]

I did the exact same thing you did! the first "Then II Now" video got lost or it was stolen then my cousin gave it to me for Christmas and i cried ,screamed, everything lol.. I was and STILL am a die hard Boyz II Men fan.

[haveatomato]

damn they have good ears. awesome.

[marcodarnb]

They are sooo awesome!!These Guys aren't Humans hahah :D

[Fragrence]

there harmonizing is out of this world.. def 1 of the best male groups ever!!!

[ZoRenol]

thats best rendition i've ever heard!

[hitps101]

they harmonize like really well, its like 5 voices coming out of one person, there so in sync

[Tendra]

it's crazy how perfect how their voices blend so beautifully together....they're the baddest GROUP vocally

[herman8tor]

Meeh 2! This version is off the hizzy mah nizzy!

[nissmogt]

I love this rendition of Star Spangeled Banner.

ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!
