- Follow the Leader: After Maurice Starr was fired by New Edition, he created New Kids On The Block as basically a white version of New Edition. Starr would go on to use the New Edition formula with multiple groups, including Perfect Gentlemen, Classic Example, and The Superiors.
- Replacement Scrappy: Johnny Gill, replacing Bobby Brown, largely averted this. It may have helped that Gill and Brown have two very different singing styles.
- Suspiciously Similar Song: "Candy Girl" sounds a lot like The Jackson 5's "ABC". Which makes sense since the group is meant to be the 'new edition' of the Jackson 5
