I was surprised to see that some people characterize Boyz II Men as a boy band. There harmonies are amazing, the ooze sophistication rather than sex, and I actually have never seen them do any major dance moves. A large amount of their songs address love and life. My favorite song is Mama, which was featured in Soul Food. I remember hearing my much older cousin listening to their music, which was always smooth, not up tempo like NSync.
I think that sometimes people make generalizations about music that they arent fans of and thats how a group like Boyz II Men gets categorized with NSync and the Backstreet Boys

I found it surprising too that they were grouped into the category of boy bands...and I agree with that you that a lot of them stems from generalizations and not actually knowing much about the individual groups. I love the song "Mama"...and I loved "One Sweet Day"-the one they did with Mariah Carey. I cry every time I hear it....and actually,on Michael Buble's recent album (came out last year) they did a song with him as well, "I'm Coming Home" and it was amazing. Anyways-what I'm try to say is-good points about Boyz II Men and I'm glad there are others out there who love them as much as I do!
