Don't touch this with a 15 foot pole
Color Me Badd and New Kids On The Block were the reason for the Backstreet Boys and N*SYNC in the late '90s (aka: the downfall of the music industry). I listened to the first song and I had a good laugh. The song doesn't even make sense. "We can do it till we both wake up" ??? Why would they be sleeping during sex?? That doesn't make any sense. And anyway if anyone cares this song made VH1's '50 Worst Songs Of All Time' list. LOL Peace out, sexer upers.
flash back
Wow I remember this group when they were hot. The afro - american that would always try to wear sexy vests to stand out. Makes me laugh now, Anyway I think their music was good r and b pop. I kinda miss them. They are better than backstreet boys could ever be.
First Cd I Ever Listened To Without Skipping a Track
I got this cd when I was twelve, now I am twenty-three and still listen to this album. I listen to "Thinkin Back", which makes me reflect on certain things that happened with girls I dated. I listen to "I Ador Mi Amor", just for how beautiful it is to think of loving someone that strongly. "Roll the Dice" is a great song, one that actually makes you realize you have to take chances in life, it's not about always doing what is sure to be safe and easy. The big hits at the time "I Wanna Sex You Up" and "All for Love" were the reason I wanted the cd back then, but now just serve as fillers in between the previously mentioned songs and other r and b songs like "Slow Motion" and "Heartbreaker". The cd has some typical "boy band" sounds to it, but it also has some powerful and energetic beats. I recommend it to anyone looking for something to listen to when you are home alone and just wanna chill out.
Within it's range, an excellent album
CMB rode the crest of their (New Jack City featured hit) biggest hit "I Wanna Sex You Up" to the hilt, and it all culminates on this album. In truth, it's not all that bad for disposable pop, and as the other reviews state, it was far more honest than any of the other pop albums in the charts at that time. Chart hits "I Wanna...", "All 4 Love", and "I Adore Mi Amore" were the most celebrated, but "Slow Motion" was undeniably funky (featuring Bootsy Collins in the video, if I recall!), and "Thinkin' Back", while certainly a b-side at heart, was a nice bit of a-cappella singing at a time when we were all getting hammered with the BoysIIMen overkill.
CMB would go on to have another few hits ("Time And Chance,"Forever Love" and my personal fave "Choose"), but if you put them in the category of soul, a la Kool And the Gang, they don't rate too badly, even after all these years.
OK, Where Are My Crayons?
...subtitled "OK, You Badd. Really. Badd. As in 'not good' Badd."
I used to cringe when group came out with "I Wanna.." and all the little girls in the neighborhood seemed to know the words to it. 'Course, nowadays we have stuff that is much more provocative than this, but I had to let you know that this is where the demise of western civilization as we know it originated. I mean it.
