Boyz II Men
I saw them in concert this weekend. Mike is missing so we didn’t get the baritone breakdowns, i.e. “Girl I’m sorry, please forgive me for all the wrong I’ve done.”
But it was still utterly delightful! Husband and I both enjoyed them so. It begs the question “What ever happened to Boyz II Men?” They are still amazing singers and their songs are exceptionally romantic and touching. Once, around about 2001, Vibe magazine did a feature article on the boyz and the long and short of it was, that people were over R&B – just done listening to the harmonies and crooning. It was (and has been for some time now) the year of Hip Hop, a lot of bass, cursing and percussion. Didn’t Lil’ Wayne just beat Mariah Carey to platinum record sales? Whitney abandoned us for more street-inspired activities. Even Janet is on the hip hop bandwagon.
It doesn’t matter. People like me and the hundreds who were gathered under the stars listening to the Water Run Dry, will maintain our support and appreciation for songs about love and heartbreak. The boyz haven’t come to the end of the road yet.
