Broken Aesop is YMMV


* BrokenAesop: "Remix (I Like The)" is meant to be about being wowed by a formerly unremarkable woman who transforms herself and becomes empowered and self-confident, but it's not at all a stretch to interpret it as "we only like you now that you're pretty."

* DreamTeam: The 2021 American Music Awards saw them teaming up with Music/NewEdition to do a medley of their greatest hits, culminating in both groups performing "If It Isn't Love". In the intro clip, Donnie all but states that they owe everything to New Edition and the feeling is mutual.

Originally conceived as a [[RaceLift white version]] of Music/NewEdition (seriously), they were ''hugely'' successful in the late [[TheEighties 80's]] and early [[TheNineties 90's]], but declining sales, internal strife, accusations of lip-syncing and other issues, and sheer burnout led to the group disbanding in 1994. Most of the members went on to solo musical careers, and Donnie Wahlberg became a successful actor. They got back together in 2008, released a new album, and held a very successful [[http://www.thenewkidsforever.com/ reunion tour]] and a tour in 2011 co-headlining with the Music/BackstreetBoys. A new album was released on April 2, 2013, along with a joint tour with Music/NinetyEightDegrees and Music/BoyzIIMen. They toured in 2015 with Music/{{Nelly}} and Music/{{TLC}}, in 2017 with Boyz II Men and Music/PaulaAbdul, and in 2019 with Music/DebbieGibson, Music/{{Tiffany}}, Music/SaltNPepa, and Music/NaughtyByNature.

* VocalEvolution: The entire group experienced this as they went through puberty on stage. This is particularly noticeable with Joey, who started out before his voice broke.
