It must have hurt to hear Dick Clark say that with so many records sold they could not just go to the movies but they could buy a movie theater, knowing full well that when the sun went down that day, they went back home to their project apartments and had earned nothing more than $1.87 after having sold a double platinum album...and Mike clearly lied when he said they have arguments but don't physically fight when they physically fought often (The New Edition Story (2017) on BET! Poor kids....used and abused by a crooked producer and record company. Thank God they persevered!!!

It's interesting to compare this Telephone Man with an appearance they made on Soul Train about a year earlier. Bobby is showing out on this one, while the earlier show is pretty ordinary. It might have been painful at times, and I'm sure the movie will show how much, but Bobby pushed his own career and theirs to greater heights. And everything happens for a reason. Johnny became part of the crew, in a few years we also get BBD, and it seems that all fences are mended now with age and wisdom. God bless all these guys. They sure represent a time in a lot of our lives and that's not a small thing.

Just hit the Culture tour myself this past Friday in Oakland, im 47 years old and seeing New Edition WITH ALL 6 ORIGINAL MEMBERS was put on my bucket list about 2 years ago, what a treat it was to see them. Again, 47 years old and I damn near cried like a baby when they did “Jealous Girl” (with Bob on the lead) and “Is This The End”……(almost during “My Secret Didja Gitit Yet”)….Ronnnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph, and Johnny too…thank you for being such a staple of my childhood to adulthood…much love from San Jose, Bay Area ✌🏼

I'm 40 now. I was 2 going on 3 when this song came out. I remember being 4 or 5 and looking at the album cover this song was on. I had a crush on New Edition at that young of an age. I loved this song as a little little kid. This song brings me back to when life was so so simple. I always sing it with all my heart. ❤
I also love that Ronnie said they'd want to do this until they're like 80. I saw them in concert a week ago in Chicago for The Culture Tour 2022. These guys are now in their 50s and it was one of the best concerts I ever been to. I wish them wealth and healthy and even more longevityto perform until in their 80s. It's so funny that they did most of the same dance moves at the concert as they did in this live performance for Mr. Telephone Man. I love it! They are legends! They need to be in The Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. 👏🏿❤
