But that was 1988...Can you still bust a move? lol

[raybrizs]

good

[calizfinest25]

Yeah,a....that was pretty coo right there!!

[tjjlm]

you guys were great i was cracking up watching it because it was like watching their video. i was a senior in hs when that song came out and that was back when you could relate songs to certain people or things and with new edition songs i always related them to my hs sweetheart. nowadays you have to be doing multiple felonies to relate to any of the music out now.

[CHuckLaWayne]

Dat shit was hot man! Yall got da steps down to the T

[brazlovzya88]

this is rad

ha i might decide to do this for my talent show lol

& ima girl but whatev.

[ronbalsamo]

YOU CAN DO IT. I KNOW U CAN ;)

[DarkXMuGeN]

damn thats ill.I know ou guys had the girls goin crazy,

[gogglezpaizano]

oh my god, that is an awesome awesome performance, well done!! I hate to think that at that point in time I was 3 years old because I missed soooo much good music (New Edition) lol

[jdshabazz]

Thank you very much...its amazing, I am 36 years old now and I was 16 when that was filmed...see good music is hard to come by and I thank GOD that back in those days songs have true and real meaning, and it wasn't just a bunch of beats and some thrown in lyrics to make a song...it had to have subtance...and If It Isn't Love Has It. I sing it to my future wife all the time.....I guess me as Ralph Tresvant in that HS video does bring back a ton of memories....

[bayouboy143]

yep , ya did , but not me ,6 days after this talent show i made 17 the 70's and the 80's whad the best music hands down ,no doubt

[yawscottie]

This is GREAT. Makes me remember 1988 and how much fun we all had at the parties and talent shows. I feel for the youths who never got a chance to experience something as simple as a few guys mimicking NE.

[Cel992]

Outstanding! This is my favorite song ever, and you guys nailed the video for real. I'm 47 yrs old and still love to watch the real video from time to time- your high school version is just as satisfying. Thanks!

[cd4jmp2sm]

greetings from the uk. just wanted to say that was BLINDING! Wow you lot were reallllllllly GOOD. Love NE and have just gone on here to see old songs from artists I loved in the 80s.

I'm a girl but would love to learn the dance. I've got some of it down but I'll need a little bit longer to get it all but with your vid clip it'll make it much easier.

[souljjah1234]

Yeah I wanna learn the dance too. Ive been watching it over n oever again haha. I wanna do it with my sisters. They were real good, and that guy moved just like Ralph.

[jdshabazz]

That would be me....(smile)

[KarenPG621]

[LaLaDuhhh]

u was killin it!

[StreetChoirMuzik]

If ya go to talent shows now days the entries can't even dance. But this was back in 89 when people were dedicated to their art. I know y'all in y'all 30's now, but nice job.

[jdshabazz]

That is so true....where is the real talent now-a-days? The fellas and I were just simple high school students who didn't want to sell drugs or join gangs..we just wanted to decent fun, and perform. Ah the good ole days...Smile

[souljjah1234]

You guys were awesome. I loved it. Did u guys win or anything?

[jdshabazz]

We won 1st Place in that talent Show...I do have another clip of us Singing "With You All The Way". I just gotta find it.

[Fasho112377]

Wow, you guys learned the actual routine by NE. Very impressive. But where's the 5th member? Did you also have a friend name Bobby who got addicted to crack?

[jdshabazz]

Well, at that time I was in Ramstein Germany, so I had to work with what I had....(smile) we left Bobby back on the streets of BOSTON....Orchid Park (spelling)....LOL
