Looks like a great night was had by all at Lucky B’s in Raleigh a few days ago. This has to be the best karaoke spot ever.
First, Charles Barkely and Boyz II Men are there. Then Barkley goes up to sing, and as the first measures of Boyz II Men’s classic “End of the Road” begin, it’s scary to imagine what’s to come, as Barkley is a known jokester. Doing his best, the ex-NBA star butchers the song as to be expected, but Shawn Stockman and Nathan Morris of Boyz II Men enter from the crowd with mics and save their song from further violation. At the end though, the crowd joined in for the chorus, and the performers hugged all in good fun.

When Charles Barkley recently took to the stage with 90s R&B icons Boyz II Men, no one was quite sure what to expect. Would the NBA Hall of Famer make a complete fool of himself? Or would he surprise everyone with his vocal prowess? As it turns out, neither happened — Boyz II Men saved Barkley from butchering their song! In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how they managed to pull off such an impressive feat.
The sight of Charles Barkley attempting to sing alongside popular boy-band Boyz II Men is enough to bring a smile to anyone’s face. It certainly provided entertainment for those in attendance (and watching online) as the group sang their hit single “End Of The Road”. But could someone who isn’t known for singing actually hold his own on stage? Surprisingly, yes! With help from some talented backup singers and a little bit of studio magic, Barkley managed not only to keep up with the legendary band but also turn in an above average performance.
It’s safe to say that without Boyz II Men’s intervention and guidance, things might have gone very differently for Charles Barkley during his impromptu musical debut. Fortunately, these four men had more than enough experience handling performances like these — and clearly knew exactly what needed to be done in order to save him from embarrassment. So while there may never be another appearance by Charles Barkley on any music stage anytime soon, we can all thank Boyz II Men for helping create this truly memorable moment!
Overview Of The Incident
Charles Barkley was in for a surprise when he took the stage to join Boyz II Men on their hit single, “End of the Road.” The basketball legend had been invited to perform with the group after they spotted him singing along at one of their shows. But it soon became apparent that Charles didn’t quite have the same vocal chops as his fellow performers! As he struggled through the song, Boyz II Men stepped in and saved him from butchering their beloved tune.
The incident began with a friendly invitation by Boyz II Men frontman Shawn Stockman. He approached Charles backstage and asked if he’d like to sing alongside them onstage. Of course, Barkley happily accepted without hesitation – what could go wrong? Little did he know that taking center-stage would be far more challenging than anticipated.
As soon as Charles opened his mouth to begin singing, everyone watching knew something wasn’t right. His pitch was off, his timing was out of sync – even worse, he seemed completely oblivious to how bad it sounded! Thankfully, Shawn and the other members quickly realized what was happening and jumped in to help save him from embarrassment. They sang over his part until he finished up and received huge cheers from the audience.
It was an unexpected moment during an otherwise memorable performance; but thanks to some quick thinking by Boyz II Men, no harm done (except maybe to Charles’s pride!)
Reactions To The Performance
Naturally, the audience was quite taken aback by Charles Barkley’s unexpected performance. As he stumbled through the lyrics and notes of “End of the Road”, many spectators were left in disbelief while others erupted in laughter. But despite their mixed reactions, they all had one thing in common: admiration for Boyz II Men saving him from making a fool out of himself.
The moment didn’t go unnoticed on social media either, with fans commenting about what an amazing job Shawn Stockman and his bandmates did to help keep things moving along smoothly. They praised them for being so understanding and supportive during what could have been a very embarrassing situation.
Meanwhile, some saw this as an opportunity to poke fun at Charles Barkley’s vocal abilities – or lack thereof! However, most agreed that it was just a harmless incident that resulted in a few laughs and smiles amongst everyone involved. All in all, everybody present seemed to walk away with fond memories of the night; further proof that “the show must go on” no matter what gets thrown your way!
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Boyz II Men save-the-day moment was truly a sight to behold. It showed how gracious and kind they are as people and performers.
