Ok I was thinking about this today and I was wonder why is that Immature/IMx was able to make it so big in the 90's and over in some of the 2000 era, but no other boy bands could?

I wonder is it because Chris Strokes took his time and wrote good music for them or maybe Immature was just hot with the girls.

Here are some groups I thought would have success like Immature:

1. B2k
2. Imajin - They were hot for a little while in the 90's.
3. Mista- I didn't think they would get to far, but I thought they would at least have up to 3 albums.
4. 3rd Storee
5. ATL
6. Brutha- I'm hoping they would make it big.

That is a great post. I've never thought about but if I had to guess I would say Immature took their time and found their sound. You have to remember they grew up in front of us. And at that time if you didn't go platinum you didn't get dropped front your label. Most of the record labels are all about greed so they never think about developing the group, so if they don't sell they stick around very long to grow their sound and find themselves.

I am pretty happy they all failed honestly, with an exception to 3rd Storee.

Immature can suck it.

Thanks for you guys replies.

@ILIKEIT....I have to agree with you that they did grow up in front of us and I think they did go platinum with "playtime is over" CD.


Soul For Real is a good group I expected them to go far to. "Candy rain" was such a big hit.

It's funny you talk about 3rd Storee Johnny. Honestly, as a boy band, they really didn't make much impact and in fact, I don't their album ever even was released (The one with If Ever on it).

Their second album (the one that was released and we know), I wouldn't really ocnsider boy band.

I just like them lol.

Soul For Real would have been a solid group had the one brother not been a felon.

To be honest, I never really liked any of the groups named so far. 3rd Storee and Soul For Real were ok.

3rd Storee had soooo many songs that were better than anything those IMX douchebags put out.

"I'm Sorry"
"Now I can Breathe"
"You Don't Want Me To"
"Get With Me"
