  • im old school but i have to say that boys 2 men made this their own. I love smokey and i know that there is only one but this new sound, sounds much better.

  • i tottally agree! :]

  • this has nothing on smokey

  • demonic he had to quit because of scoliosis i think is what they said at thier concert..

  • damn good cover, so hard to cover a classic, cud only be better if it was the miracles, nice job, made it thiers, but kept it oldschool, xx

  • SMOKEY ROBINSON!!!!!!!!!!

    Good Cover Though

  • true vocalist........

  • arent they missing someone? who are they missing? theres 4 right?

  • There's 3 now

  • Michael McCary .. he has scoliosis and couldn't handle the rigors of touring and performing anymore...

  • the other guy is sick and has been sick for a while

  • his name is michael mccary he had to go because his scoliosis was getting to bad and it was getting hard for him to get around without the uae of a wheelchair and he wouldnt be able to cope with concerts and tours

  • i love this and gavin degraws version!

    they're amazing!!

  • Smokey and the Miracles wrote it, Boyz II Men mastered it....Def my fav. group of all tyme

  • Mr. Batt may have somethin' to say 'bout that!

  • i love this song, both versions

  • they always make songs better

    i love it

    but i still love the original by smokey and the miracles ;D

  • Lallalalala Lovely songggggggggggggggg

  • Smooth, like great scotch. Just like velvet.

  • what a beautiful voice :)!!!

    this is awesome!!!!!

    i like also gavin degraw version!

  • aaawe man this is theeee song lol

  • holy shit this is a sweet cover

  • it sucks that this album wasnt promoted as much as it should have been

  • since you left me if you see me with another girl seeming like im havin fun..although she may be cute shes just a substitute because..you're the permanent one.</3

  • This is a beautiful song

  • this is an awesome, excellently done rendition of the classic Smokey Robinson tune. GREAT JOB GUYS. Loved it....

  • UM that "last guys" name is wanya...and he founded boys 2 men, he has extrememly high range and sang the majority of boys 2 mens bridges, i think he may know a thing or 2 about calistenics....its funny that people try to play simon cowell on you tube!!

  • there is no way you could ever diss boyz 2 men. the vocals on this track put every singer out now to shame. and wanya's vocals were crazy. you are an idiot for your comment. voicing your opinion or not.

  • first of all u did try and diss them . you know exactly what you said. and your last response shows the type of person you are even when you know you are wrong and lost an arguement or debate you would just keep going. you can keep trying how ever, it wont do anything after this, you'll be just wasting time. Nice try tho'

  • wow

  • I love all versions of smokey hit classic. This as well as anita baker versions are so well done I put them all on my stations.

  • i LOVE the way Boys to men sang this song. but i also love Smokey singing it . im so glad they ddnt stuff it up lmao no offence but yearh LOVE it (=

  • Boys II Men, what can I say they hooked it up. They even put their own spin on it. Them boys made Smokey Proud!!!!

  • This is a great redo of Smokey's version, actually to me, its better, it also plays at my job and it literally gets stuck in my head for the rest of the day

  • i love 0:03 - 0:08

  • adam sang this song(:

  • mark my words, there will never be a boy band as powerful and amazing like boys ii men again. there harmonies are flawless and u can tell they r pros who have been doing this for decades. they are and will forever be, the best male band of all times. yes, i said it, better than 112, new edition, and im not even gonna name the current boy bands cuz they cant be even put in the same sentence

  • Preaching!!!! Preaching, you are!!!! Jesus himself said the truth will set you free!!!! Seriously, they're freakin' good!!! And always have been.

  • Boyz II Men Boss

  • i love this song. Smokey Robinson is sick.

  • Hey powerbookg they aren't calling it their own! This song is originally by smokey robinson and they know that. They just performed it for their album titled, "A Journey Through Hitsville" which is a cd filled with classic hit songs whether they are their original song or not.

  • I wish I could sing like these guys

  • boy 2 men is still the best

  • the middle one is best

  • They all get in the middle lol....

  • haha I used to listen to this group 10 years ago and love them. Hope they have a comeback =).

  • Smokey is better, but this is good!

  • This is one of the best songs ever written. It just never feels dated. All the covers done of it sound new and fresh, even though the arrangments aren't all that different from the original. I love it.

  • Lambert owns this song

  • I love Boyz II Men, but I actually think Adam Lambert did a better job.

  • cause you are drunk

  • I agree he sucked.

  • hahahah wow. funny. vocally that adam kid cant match these guys. and thats a fact

  • wanya morris got big!! i luv their muic tho.

  • Them Boys just plin BADDD!!!!!

  • What happened to the BASS guy?

  • He developed scoliosis and had to retire from performing in 2003.

  • mike??? he had to stop because of his chronic back problem from scoliosis???

  • nah it was MS

  • i miss the bass man...ummm...mike? looks kinda weird without him..lol...maybe they go to the AZ-YET group the lead singer...and the original member of Boyz II Men...and get him...that's if he isn't kicking himself in tha ass for leaving in the first place....hell the Temptations rotated there members like musical chairs...oh well...funny how things work out.

  • Wayne makes this song extra awesome!!!. Nate and Shawn are Great too

  • Comment removed

  • its wanya morris, shawn stockman then nate morris

  • who is the guy on the right?? he's so awesome :) and dont compare to Adam Lambert, 2 different ways of singing the song!

  • Boyz II Men... awesome as always.

  • Um there's a boy missing? What happened? These guys are icons, amazing. hey at least the seem to have kept the best singers lol.

  • to kissesmee do your research b4 u try to get a funny.they didnt just keep anyone he has a disease which means he can no longer do what he use to do with the group. He is still a BOYZ 2 MEN

  • it was good but i pefer the one the only smokey robinson

  • AMAZING! best cover of this song!

  • of couse, it's Boyz II men, hah

  • dis song is the shit

  • Love this song, Loved every version of it GO Smakey!!!!!!

  • A classic song ... just made AMAZING!

  • song be knoccin...yeee bay area bitch

  • I've just known this song watching American Idol. It´s beautiful.

  • Seriously!

  • the best version..

    people, come on.. no comparison with american idol singer

  • they also probably spent much longer perfecting it in a studio vs an amatuer singers amazing live performance.

  • agreed!!! they are amazing!!!

  • This song is my life story.

  • Why are people comparing apples to oranges? A group vs a solo performance. Both are good but Boyz II Men are polished beyond reason. LEGEND.

    Luv Adam, but the only way to see if he's got their chops is to put them altogether and see if he can keep their seamless harmony.

    This should be in the FINALE!!!

  • Thank YOu very much ! You are right on! Bullseye

  • MEAN SONG!

  • i cant get nugh of da song,bin listening since friday am tuned in ritenow. i have 1 word 4 da song AWESOME!!!

    Peace.

  • omg i love this song ecpically when they sing it

  • you can't compare two different genre's of singing.

  • And before the next post is submitted I want to acknowledge im a fan of adams and think he will win this season, but bottom line is he is no smokey, and can not compare in vocal performance to bIIm.

  • If Adam Lambert wants to go out on public television in front of 40 million people and sing a song performed, written by smokey robinson and perfected by boyz II men, then he is going to be compared. Adam lambert sounds like a middle school choir performer compared to Boyz II Menn.

  • You're right, you can't and you shouldn't compare Adam Lambert to these legends. Adam Lambert is just not that good of a singer or performer.

    In Lambert's case, Let's just say that it's not that difficult to make a great song sound good.

    There are a lot of great singers out there and not all of them are on American Idol.

  • You cant compare Adam Lambert to Boys II Men. They both did a great job on making and older song sound great. They are both unique in their own right.

  • lol the way there dancing is cool

  • Can't get enough of this song. These guys keep gettin better.

  • boyz to men are the best everrr the only group that can compare are the temptations

  • I cannot stop watching this song! they are brilliant, definitely their best performance!

  • you are completely retarded for comparing adam lambert to Boyz II Men....these are the most soulful dudes that have ever graced the Earth. roxy you are my peoples. hawt girl, learn to spell and learn to appreciate real brilliant music

  • Roxy, Your so foxy! She speaks the truth....legends.

  • You must know NOTHING about music. These men are God's gift to man. They harmonize like heaven. Okay, enough blasphemous comments. Please don't embarrass yourselves by comparing these LEGENDS to a stupid American Idol contestant.

  • can't compare this version, to the version that adam Lambert sung, because they are completely different. Adam's was a slow acoustic version, while this version is more of a groovy version.

  • adorei o adam cantando muito bom

  • speak engish or start paying taxes, either is fine.

  • Eu tambem. Ele e fantastico. Vamos votar pra ele. Ele merece ganhar.

  • lol what are you talking about noobs. they've been in the game for more than 10 years. i like both covers.

  • they are good

  • Adam did a great job. But NEVER ever compare him to Boyz II Men again. They've been in this industry since Mowtown Philly.....1991? Let's be realistic. Show some respect for the way-pavers. God.

  • Dont even compare that idiot to Boys II men ! I can admit Adam did do a good job singing this song but there is NO comparison ! Adam has nothing on Boys II men !

  • amen

  • cause adam is solo and boyz II men are already in the game!

  • I cannot believe you said that Adam Lambert is better than these guys...All he did was change his hair up and slow the song way down which ruined the tempo.

    Adam Lambert has nothin' on Boys 2 Men! Blasphemy! lol

  • Both sets of artist are good at what they do but I think that most of the people that grew up with Boyz II Men think this is a great rendition of the classic but to be honest it doesn't get better than Smokey

  • Well this song was actually written by Smoky Robinson And that was a long time ago. 1965.

    So ya there was alot of good wholesome songs back then.

  • Thats what I meant. of Course, this is Smokey.

  • What a great sound.

    Why can't artists write songs like this anymore?

  • amen

  • Dude Mccary isnt dead he had to retire in

    2003 because he had scilosos..

  • That kinda sux because Boyz II Men just doesn't seem the same as a trio.

  • Comment removed

  • no he didnt leave Michael McCary died like 2 years ago

  • What are you talking about?

    McCary is still alive.

  • Stupid !!!! If u don't know, shut up !

  • love this song its a on the road song

  • why they sang it so joyful , i don't think this song is fit with happy mood! i love Adam's version much more!!

  • What happened to the 4th member of this band?

  • love thiz song

  • I now know who Adam is, I just forgot and you are right he was excellent and yes Smokey did give him a standing ovation. He was good. I can admit when I'm wrong or forget.

  • wasnt their a fourth boyz 2 men member???? someone pleez reply

  • He left a few years ago because of his back problems and his name is Michael McCary

  • He had really bad back problems and stuff and couldn't preform anyone.

  • He left a few years ago because of his back problems and his name is Michael McCary

  • ill always love Shawn.....

  • who the hell is adam. No one does this song better than the originals. They all sound excellent but never better than good old Smokey

  • shut up

  • adam lambert! his performance was awesome!

  • omg i agree! his voice iz sooo unique! i wish i voted 4 him but i couldnt cause i was too lazy to find my cell! lol i like that 16 year old too!

  • haha yeah! both of them are great! she sings so well for a 16 year old. so amazing. both are amazing woo!

  • watch?v=BskkuDTkx2M

    Smokey himself gave the performance a standing ovation.

  • this is a pretty good version of the song but i still like smokey Robinson's version better.

  • way better than the miracles

  • Boyz II Men are so wonderful...

  • Yah i agree to fanfanz and i cant even imagine that adam will make an old song into a new record breaking one... well done adam and by the way you are really very handsome and i dont even notice it the past few weeks...love the change for the better...

  • ADAM VERSION IS SO COOL

    HOPE HE PUT THAT SONG IN HIS NEW C.D WHICH I KNOW WOULD BE MULTI-SELLING COPIES LIKE " BLeeding Love ":

  • Knew Boyz II Men could sing, but didn't know their moves were so smooth too! This is beyond awesome. And yes, it would make a good a cappella performance.

  • Love this song

    Im gona try and get a group of guys together and try this song in acapella

    I think this is very inspirational

    too abswer why they dont have this kinda music now is because people r retarted and wanna hear stupid stuff

    I would die to be in that time period music

    best kinda music

    ...... nuff said

  • I feel the same way. you hit it right on the nail!

  • I like this version, but Smokey's version is so clean and smooth. These songs are some of the greatest and best performed. Motown put out masterpieces. Nothing like most of the stuff today.

  • Smokey Robinson outdid himself with this song! awesome and they perform it so well!!

  • why is there not anymore songs like this now a days and the dancing. Back in the good old days
