B5- Addicted

Ok, here’s my beef with them.
They are too young to hang with the big dogs in the R&B world….
And I’m not saying that because I think that kids can’t make money in this business, hell, look at Miley Cyrus (gag), Boweeezy… blah blah blah.
But as far as R&B  is concerned…. you need to be able to sing about certain content to cater to the R&B audience. They are not old enough to be singing about making love and being in love and because of that no one will pay attention and respect what they are saying. Look at Sammy, started out nicely and then faded.

When they singing about “kid” stuff they come up with this mess.
“I’m addicted to that body, I’m addicted to your butt…I’m addicted to your swagger”

    cosign. Only way you can make a real impression is if you really SANGIN about grown up stuff. Oh well..
  • Breezy
    LoL! I didn't take a listen but read those few lines and I'm going to pass. But for real, arent they signed to BadBoy?? So we all know how this is going to end....
    NEXT
  • Mel
    Lol........that is so true. Diddy gonna relase their contract just like he did 4 out of 5 members from Danity Kane, Seems like artists under Bad Boy Management don't last too long.
  • SIERRA
    There not signed to bad boy anymore haha
    they left,Diddy wasnt giving them the attention they needed
    Hes an ass lol.Trust me B5 is older then you think the oldest one is 22
    and the youngest 16.They had to growup sometime later,they can`t stay kids forever
  • yes
    How old are they now? The oldest has to be around 21. I just think the different ages is a problem. Normally in a group the people are around the same age, but they are brothers so of course there will be some gaps.
  • angelic2u
    B5 is a wanna be B2K, problem is B2K fans grew up (raises hand), but...i'm addicted to your butt? wtf.
  • Biggga
    I disagree New Edition was younger than B5 when they came out; I am in no way shape or form comparing B5 to NE. B5's problem is they are getting stuck with the wrong material. Puff made the same mistake with Usher when they worked together on his 1st album. Had Usher singing about things he hadn't seen or done yet. Addiction to swagger= a cry for help.
  • 1AM
    The difference between New Edition and B5 is that New Edition was all closer in age to each other .. there is like a 14 year old and a 20 yr old (I dont know exact ages just roundin off) in this group therefore the hunt for relevant material is much tougher and the fact they are signed to BadBoy is just more of a hinderance to their success. Plus the kids aren't into R&B like that anymore, they are more into pop so their audience is relatively non existant. I say they should give up... like..now.
  • Denise
    Diddy shouldn't have even tried to make this out of nothing ... He needs to stick to his roots (making all the band) and let these little boys finish their schooling.

    Yes B5 please give it up NOW. Thanks,
  • Anne
    lol wow...
    first of all this sont is NOT even by B5. Then they're from 16 to 22, how is that "not old enough" ?
    And they're not signed to BadBoy anymore...
  • rissa
    agreeing with Anne ; that pic is soo 2005 making them look even more 'babyish' .
    they are ranging from 16-22 , so MUST have so time of idea what the heck they're singiing about.
    btw--they arent signed with bad boy
  • None of Your business
    Okay dude, they NEVER made kiddie music. When they first came out, they used to sing about being a "better man" and "girl you better give it up". The only reason it sounded kiddie was because they were kids with light voices. I have to admit those songs were inappropriate. Secondly, they don't write too much of their songs. They probably didn't write this one, just like most R and B artists. Thirdly, they are 17,20,20,21,23 so why in the world would they sing about kiddie topics?? That would not be a good look for them.
  • how old these kids are ?
  • Diamond
    This is dumb shit..its not even their song!!! Learn the facts b4 u call these guys out...!!!
  • Amoria
    Before yall start talking ish learn what your talking bout first then you can talk about them
    N 16-22 is not on a kiddie level and its not even all that bad so you should know what ya talking about or don't say nothing at all
  • .MiiLk*
    noo. i soo dunt agree. and, b5 dun lefft bad boy already. dey wiit w/e chris brown on. but i thiink that there ol' enogh 2 be siinging bout dem stuff now. liike really. deyy at a pretty guud age.

    --Juzz my opinion
  • Karen
    Umm...too young? If I'm correct, their age range is 17-23. They're grown! And the pic you used is from when they were 11-17...so yeah "kiddy music" is not even an option for them anymore lol. Besides, they never made kiddie music to begin with. I grew up a b5 fan (i was 16 when they came out) and maybe I'm the only one but I'm feelin' the song... but I mean if you can listen to Souljah Boy singing off key about his non-existant swag (imo), you can handle 5 MEN--and I emphasize that word-- singing, in the most respectable way, about a topic that ALL artists cover. And so what if they said "butt" at least they're not sayin "i wanna smack that a**" right???
  • Jaymeee
    not old enuff?
    this is the 21st century.
    kids as young as 11 are saying and listening to alot
    more worse lyrics.
    that is nothing!!! not even close to being "adult rated"
    what ppl dont understand is that B5 is growing up and if
    they want to touch another type of audience they can.
  • bbarnes
    You know....I think its only the eldest, Dustin, singing...he was suppose to be going solo anywayz. and they deffintly wouldnt be talking about phone sex when theres a 14-15 yr. old "singing" this song.
  • B5 Numba 1 Shortii
    Well wat u hav to realize is that B5 is also growing up. Unfortunately today the only way we can really get far in the music industry is sing/rap about sex, drugs, and more sex [[Except if ur with Disney, which they aren't anymore]] B5 has been in and out of the scene for a couple of years now and all I think they are tryin to do is make a good or better come back than they did before
  • fierra
    i hate diddy,he should've nevered let B5 go they would've been the best R&B band/singer n the whole world if they would;ve kept makin new song....i hate diddy for that and then he the reason why danity kane broke up his nasty attitude,wen i become a singer he better not sigh me a contract cuz if he curse me out imma be n jail for wippin his a**
  • fierra
    I LOVE THE SONG
  • Kailah
    i think B5 is really underestimated.
    theyre grown now so theyre tryna make a transition into talkin bout
    more "grown" stuff

    and i think this song is a good start
    THE SONG IS HOT LISTEN TO IT N STOP HATIN ON EM

    GIVE THEM A CHANCE
  • Chic
    Ummm, I heard this wasnt even their song. So I guess you just faulted them for no reason. Not going against what you said or your judgement, just letting you know.
