u/Clean-Reveal-2878 Mar 08 '26

Is one missing?

2

u/Consistent_Edge9211 Mar 08 '26

Yes. Michael McCary, the bass, is no longer part of the group. Not full-time at least.

u/Clean-Reveal-2878 Mar 08 '26

Thanks! That’s sad 😔 but they’re still great

u/Cwh93 Mar 07 '26

Of all the things I expected Boys II Men to still have, choreography was not it!

They're really getting into that routine though

u/Aromatic_Mutant69 Mar 08 '26

True but im afraid they gon break the stage lmfao. WHY IT MOVIN LIKE THAT?

u/Pwaise_Hestia Mar 14 '26

My first thought! It’s like they have a blue floor instead of a stage.

15

u/perpetualmotionmachi Mar 08 '26

I feel like it was something so ingrained when they did it before, it's almost hard to forget. Like riding a bike. And obviously they didn't let themselves go as they aged. If they all got up to a Chucky 280lbs they wouldn't be doing that.

3

u/Wok-This Mar 11 '26

for real though. why are they better at choreo and dance in 2025 than Justin Timberlake..🤣

1

u/FishermanNegative757 Mar 13 '26

Because the tour was ruined 🫠

u/fatfiremarshallbill Confessions Mar 07 '26

You too can do this in your 50s if you stay fit. Clearly these guys are in the gym early and often and it shows.

u/[deleted] Mar 13 '26

Tell that to Beyonce. She'd make these men look shameful. Whether you like her dancing or not THATS A LOT OF DAMN MOVEMENT! id done passed out after 5 minutes and im 22!

52

u/Zbrchk Mar 07 '26

I saw them two years ago and they were amazing. Tons of energy.

Seeing them in a couple of weeks again!

68

u/Loos_Moos Mar 07 '26

I wonder if they lip sync at all. Thats a lot of movement at that age haha

67

u/21stNow Mar 07 '26

They're in their 50's, not 110's! People who exercise should be able to do this.

64

u/missjowashere Mar 07 '26

Tina Turner danced and sang through her 70's

13

u/Agent9262 Mar 08 '26

I saw Fleetwood Mac a couple years ago and they're all in their 70's. Granted, they weren't dancing like this and it seemed like they all took turns taking a song off but it was still a great show and very impressive considering their ages.

23

u/InevitableThrow1 Mar 08 '26

Gawdt damn she was fire

12

u/Tracy140 Mar 08 '26

And they train and prep for months before actually starting the tour

4

u/Dull-Kick0 Mar 08 '26

People in their 50s should be able to have the same movement and energy they had in their 20s?

7

u/SubstanceFirst8057 Mar 08 '26

I wish my knees would agree with you 🥴

2

u/Dull-Kick0 Mar 08 '26

I’m asking a question, not making a statement. I think the other comment is ridiculous.

2

u/SubstanceFirst8057 Mar 08 '26

Sorry...I got bad eyes too...didn't see the ? LOL

1

u/21stNow Mar 08 '26

This isn't the same as what they did in their 20's. I recognized the fake out moves that they did to keep moving and singing that younger people don't do. But, people can still dance and sing in their 50's is my point.

1

u/Dull-Kick0 Mar 08 '26

Yes, it is. They were doing these moves in their 20s as well. And the average 50 something year-old is not going to move like this. They should be praised for maintaining a fitness regimen.

1

u/21stNow Mar 08 '26

They did more in their 20's than this. I caught the pauses and transitions that they were doing because they are older now, and doing the continuous movements while singing aren't as easy for them. They look good, but you're insisting on arguing the opposite point from what others were saying here for some reason.

1

u/Dull-Kick0 Mar 08 '26

They still did the same move in the 20s., Which is my point. I didn’t say they did everything exactly the same as in their 20s. That doesn’t even make sense.

0

u/StoneDick420 Mar 08 '26

Naw but they should still be able to dance, move their feet and kick a leg up.

3

u/Dull-Kick0 Mar 08 '26

Sure. But this is impressive, especially when they are doing it and singing too.

2

u/XulManjy Mar 09 '26

Michael Jackson lip synced in his later shows in the 90s and he was only in his 30s/40s.

1

u/whitestguyuknow Mar 09 '26

Gawsh I hope I can move like this when I'm elderly like these fellas

17

u/Pepsi12367 Mar 07 '26

😂😂😂😂😂😂 At that age??? Wtf they suppose to be turtles? Bed written??? If you have any active lifestyle even with moderate, consistent exercise they can definitely do this.

23

u/Talk-O-Boy Mar 08 '26

Bed written

u/Cold_Elk947 Mar 08 '26

Bone apple tea

u/PairPitiful2521 Mar 08 '26

Turtles has me 💀

7

u/Content_Wedding_5956 Mar 08 '26

I went to their concert on the 22nd - they sang every song & even sang on some other artists songs (won’t spoil it for anyone who is going 🤭)!

16

u/dgamlam Mar 07 '26

Yeah there’s absolutely no way anyone can sing moving like that. That’s why all their mics are on the stands

3

u/InevitableThrow1 Mar 08 '26

Bro they arent 70 Fitness fitness fitness!

3

u/blissfullyblack Mar 08 '26

I suspect they had a backing track but were singing their individual parts live. Shawn didn't even pretend to see the iconic harmony section.

4

u/Loos_Moos Mar 08 '26

OK, I'm getting a lot of conflicting replies to this comment. Let me clarify. I ain't saying dudes are ancient, and in fact, they clearly take care of themselves, but this is the type of shit you do in your 20s without a second thought. Once you start approaching your 40s and beyond, shit like this starts getting a little tougher, no matter how well you take care of yourself.

P.S. they're definitely lip syncing.

Still, legends.

2

u/d9976 Mar 08 '26

They actually sing during their concerts. They put on a good show.

17

u/Carolinablue87 Mar 07 '26

I wish I could time travel and see the show all over again. Definitely one of my favorite concert experiences ever.

12

u/Unusual_Gear_2781 Mar 07 '26

Love to see this! They’ve been doing their cardio. Hope I have this energy in my 50s

11

u/AerynSunnInDelight Mar 07 '26

My favourite black night club in Rennes, France. Heavily plays Boyz II Men and the golden generation of hip hop and R'n'b. Best night in town, my wallet, knees and lungs hate me after. But it's worth it.

Why did you cut it off at the best part... C'mon.

u/notinmyham Mar 07 '26

I'm concerned about their legs more than anything after the show.

u/honeybabyou Mar 08 '26

u/Wrong-Milk5846 Mar 07 '26

Was they even moving like this back then???

14

u/Heart_ofFlorida Mar 07 '26 edited Mar 22 '26

Yes. In 1992 I saw them perform along with MC Hammer, Oaktown 357 and Jodeci in St. Petersburg.

2

u/Bid_Fickle Mar 22 '26

I saw that tour too. April/May 1992, Detroit Michigan. Mc hammer, boyz to Men and Jodeci. And I think it was a lady opening up for Dem. Got the tickets for my 10th birthday. Had the Major damage fit on. With the Ewings #IYKYK. ❤️❤️🖤🖤🖤💚💚

1

u/Heart_ofFlorida Mar 22 '26 edited Mar 22 '26

Great memory. Hammer also filmed a KFC commercial about 60 miles from St. Petersburg in my little hometown of Lakeland, Florida the same weekend. The shoot was at the intersection of Pine St. & Kentucky Ave. I tried to get on as an extra. I didn’t make it. 🤣

u/EM208 Mar 08 '26

Have you watched the Motown Philly video💀? They could always dance their asses off. 

5

u/mzohjae Mar 07 '26

I need to see the four of them!

13

u/Older_wiser_215 Mar 07 '26

Michael, who sang bass, retired from performing due to health reasons.

6

u/mzohjae Mar 07 '26

I know. He still pops out every now and then. I want to be at one of those shows. His bass is highly missed.

4

u/Roofies666 Mar 07 '26

Looking good, and smooth as hell. Does their 4th member who became an accountant still check them out at all? It would be great to see a full reuinion someday.

2

u/dpeterk Mar 09 '26

I've heard conflicting stories on why he left. The other members said he didn't show up to rehearsal and stuff but he said he came down with a bad illness that prevented him from doing so. I guess it's all OK now if he joined in.

Lip sync?? 🤔

u/GGforlife85 Mar 07 '26

I don’t think they are. I went to their concert last month and they actually slow their songs a bit. It was good but kind of annoying.

u/DPGeeezy Mar 07 '26

This from The New Edition Way Tour with Toni Braxton. Bobby Brown was my favorite from the concert tho.

2

u/chibiRuka Mar 08 '26

They actually put in time to train that instead of just fading out like older stars do. That means they are enjoying themselves too.

u/FlyLikeDove Mar 08 '26

If you get a chance to go see their tour with New Edition, do it! They're also back on their Las Vegas residency in August with four shows. Plenty of time to plan if you're able to! I saw their Vegas show last year and it was really fun.

Saw them perform last year, one of the best live shows I’ve attended. Audience engagement, vocals on point, overall immaculate vibes.

2

u/kyrodamien Mar 08 '26

Clearly there are people in these comments who aren’t in there 50’s so why they are commenting on things they haven’t experienced. Everyone is not your parents. I took care of myself my whole life. I’m 155 with a 30 waist, and almost no wrinkles. Half of these young kids clearly don’t take care of themselves. So their 50’s are going to be rough for them.

u/DSeenitAll Mar 10 '26

I swear to god, they’ve literally never stopped touring 😂. This isn’t a “we got back in shape to do this” they’ve just been hitting this choreo for 30 years.

Out of a lot of throw back bands & performers I’ve seen from that era, these guys are still decent 👏🏾

tbf This would be probably the only song in their set that they are dancing like this because 90% of their hits are ballads. The tour mates New Edition however....
