Karaoke’ing with the Boyz
Whoa, now.
Last night, I chanced upon this show called Don’t forget the lyrics. I was actually going to watch saved ep of Anthony Bourdain, but I saw a musical group that I loved during the 90s, Boyz II Men. So what does a girl like Ten do? Watch the entire show, of course.
And dude, it was fun.
For a few moments, I was into dating again when I heard them sing “I’ll make love to you”. I wish they sang “On Bended Knees”, too.
After the show, I was, of course, curious of their current gigs. Google is my friend. They having tours and such, but a little snippet from a college paper had me a little ticked.
“We wanted to get a group that we’re all embarrassed to love now,” she said. “We want to hear the kind of song that we had our first kiss to, or had our first slow dance to.”

That was cold. And harsh. Sure, boybands have a certain stigma. That’s because a lot of those groups that sprouted during the 90s were crap. I have unabiding dislike for N-Sync. West Life made me break out. Backstreet Boys, well, their music was crap but I used to crush on Kevin. So there. But man, Boyz II Men was awesome. Great harmonies, great music. Still awesome. So Mr. Price, there’s no need for embarrassment.
