Are Boy Bands Over??

When R&B was booming in the 80s and 90s, the all-boy trio or quartet was the beginning, middle, and end of the story. Guy, New Edition, Bell Biv Devoe, Boyz II Men, Shai, Jodeci, Silk, Blackstreet, Dru Hill, Next, Jagged Edge, Hi 5ive, 112, I could go on forever. Today we have...Day 26. And Thats about it. While new female groups like Elektric Red, Richgirl, and Sophia Fresh emerge regularly, their male counterparts have gone dormant. Maybe its the scare factor in a post-B2K world. Or maybe there's something corny about four grown men doing synchronized pirouettes. Or maybe the right combination of rugged and smooth R&B dudes hasn't come along. *cough*BSH*cough*. Whatever the case, this vital cog in the R&B machine has gone AWOL.
