and that sound dominated the early part of the 90s which is why they deserve to be in this poll moreso than NE who were no loner the group ppl were checking for like they were in the 80s. The (early) 90s were more Bell Biv Devoe than NE...

and

as far as Aaron Hall's singing, Kellz, who went on to become the biggest contemporary r&b singer around, bit him harder than Tyson bit Holyfield which should tell you something abt his influence as a vocalist. It is true that those Guys cds were driven by their sound first and foremost but Aaron Hall's singing was a perfect compliment.

what?!?! lmao who in B2M wasn't a better singer than Ralph? Johnny Gil is a more appropriate comparison to the singers in B2M. All the members of B2M are classically trained singers and their 4 part harmony brought harmonizing back in r&b briefly.
