Their not pop boy bands but r&b groups

Some r&b boy bands (which I usually call groups) are Blackstreet (when the Backstreet Boys came out I thought that they had ripped their name off of the group), Boyz II Men, 112, Jagged Edge and Dru Hill. For the most part all the above initially gained support and became popular for their love ballads. I distinctively remember being in love with EVERY member of 112 and thought no one in the world could ever compare. It is true that many of the bands (all except Boyz II Men) moved partially away from love ballads to up tempo songs that would be played in clubs. This trend of the 90s is still relevant and is evident in the formation of Day 26, a group that was formed by Diddy. There were randomly put together on the reality show Making the Band, which was featured on MTV. Day 26's 2nd album was criticized because it almost completely moved away from the "slow jams" that its fans expected from the group.
