Okay, I've seen the boyz sing the songs live. I've seen them dancing, jumping, turning, having fun, exhausting themselves and still the songs sounded ten times better than on the album. Needless to point out that something must have gone awfully wrong during production of this cd.And there is one other gripe I have. When the guys perform the songs from this cd on stage, you can hear bass parts being sung and spoken. When you look at the boyz you know it's not coming from any of them. This leads me to thinking that the boyz know that they're sorely missing a bass voice. The group just isn't whole without Mike, and they should realise that. I've read an interview with the remaining fellows indirectly confirming that there had been some tensions within the group that, aside from his back condition also lead Mike to leave, which is a shame. Since he's still out there, active, producing, acting, making music, for Pete's sake get him back! He is Boyz II Men as much as any of the other guys, and although the vocals on this album are grand as ever, anyone who's known the group from the beginning is missing the round perfect harmonies.
