ILSOM fam’ if you’ve had a chance to watch The New Edition Story by now, then you’re very familiar with Jahi Di’Allo Winston, the young dude who played ‘kid Ralph Tresvant’ and was doing karate all the time in the movie. Not only did he hold his own as Ralph in the miniseries, he did it live on stage this time and had grown women screaming. *SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO*
When New Edition performed recently, Ralph Tresvant surprised the crowd by calling Jahi from backstage for an impromptu performance with N.E. of their 80’s classic, “Is This The End.” Jahi had the whole crowd buggin’ and even the N.E. were impressed because he sang the HELL outta that song and performed like he’s been doing it for well beyond his years in front of thousands of people.
Watching Jahi work the stage and the audience with so much passion, brought us right back to 1983 when we were watching New Edition do their thing as kids with that song.
Check out Jahi perform with New Edition below. His co-star, Dante Hoaglan, (who played the kid Mike Bivins) also made a cameo.
