Best New Edition Songs

Parker got one more surprise from New Edition after the song became a hit. "Those are the only guys I ever wrote a hit record for that called me back," he explained. "I'll never forget that... They're very talented guys, and they were the only ones to say, 'Thank you for writing us a hit, and please come write us another one.'"

Brown, who left the group in 1986, joined them again in 1990 to perform this at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Rapper 2 Chainz sampled this in his 2012 song "I Love Dem Strippers," featuring Nicki Minaj.

1.- Mr. Telephone Man (Catchiest and best New Edition song ever)
2.- If It Isn't Love (Great lyrics, great rhythm, great story, and great recording)
3.- Maryann
4.- Can You Stand The Rain
5.- Once In A Lifetime Groove
6.- Let's Be Friends (Special beat)
7.- Where It All Started
8.- Lost in Love
9.- You Don't Have to Worry (Even better than Cool It Now, which is a very overrated song)
10.- Cool It Now (Nice song, but not even number 2 lol)

I'm not sure if this is my favorite song by these guys, but it is one of the catchiest songs with the most well-worked beats. I'm also not sure if the lyrics add much to the whole song, but they aren't anything special - even if I don't hate them!

This song is pretty good in my point of view, and I wonder how it isn't even the number 1 song on this list since it's a very catchy tune with a lot of potential to be the crowned one here!

Lyrics: 7/10 (kinda decent verses)
Official video: 4/10 (a disaster)
Vocals: 6/10 (okay, not too bad)
Beat: 7/10 (prefer this over the vocals)

In general, this isn't a bad song, but it needed much more for its time. I wouldn't call it the greatest song on the list, but it's easily top 5 material.

This song should be number 1 on this list.
I cannot get so tired of hearing it all the time.
How are songs like Mr. Telephone Man considered better than this? This is a masterpiece, not just a simple good song like the other ones on the list!

I understand if this song is number 3, but guys, this song is definitely perfect! I mean, I'm not saying this song is one of the best songs in the world. It's just fantastic!

I have to say, the reason I love this song so much is that it seems more romantic than dramatic the first time you listen to it! But it could be different because it really feels and sounds more dramatic and magical as a flame.

Mr. Telephone Man (Not a bad song, but it could be a lot better. Although I reckon it's a catchy song, that doesn't prove its quality. The lyrics just sucked in my opinion.)

Cool It Now (Better not talk.)

Can You Stand The Rain (So damn highly overrated. How does this thing already have 88+ comments? Not even a catchy song - should be one of the most boring NE songs, if not a really bad song.)

Once In a Lifetime Groove (Yeah, this song should be number 1. It's a very unique song with much better lyrics and meaning than the rest of the other crap.)

"If It Isn't Love" is a 1988 song by American R&B quintet New Edition and the first single from their fifth studio album, Heart Break. The song became the biggest hit from the aforementioned album, reaching the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number seven, and reaching the second position on the Hot Black Singles chart. Its chart performance and well-received music video garnered the quintet their first nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 31st Grammy Awards in February 1989. The song and video are also notable for being the introduction of fellow R&B singer Johnny Gill as a new member of the group.

This song is not even a great R&B song, if we can even call it that! But I probably only voted for this song because it was, for its time, a really genuine song. It was on a classic R&B music station - I don't remember if it was an American radio station - but we have to accept that Candy Girl is one of the most well-known New Edition songs they got.

Good song. I wonder how fast it can reach high levels on this list, like Mr. Telephone Man did.

Maybe this song is their greatest because it brings me to tears every time I listen to this beautiful song.

This is the best song ever made. It sounds very romantic, bro! This is also New Edition's masterpiece. It brought tears to my eyes.

I enjoy every second of this song when I listen to it! It should be considered the very best NE song ever created. Come on, guys! Vote for this special one.

I would not call this song a classic, but I must admit that it was a very interesting topic to talk about when discussing the context of the word in music.

Not an awesome song, but it definitely deserves to be in the top 10.

One of the best songs. I think it should be number 10. I mean, this is a good song and can easily beat other songs ranked above this one.

One of my favorite contemporary R&B songs ever!

This song is better than Mr. Telephone Man. It should knock that song out of the Top 2 and almost take the crown.

I love this song. It's so catchy, and it has to be on the list.

Love this song. It's pretty memorable if you ask me.
