Johnny Gill says he was watching LIVE when the Seahawks receivers paid homage to New Edition with their TD celebration on Monday … and tells TMZ Sports he loved every second of it!!!
The ‘Hawks turned the gridiron into a dance floor after a 3rd quarter touchdown to David Moore … re-enacting the iconic “If It Isn’t Love” choreography from the boy band’s 1988 hit music vid.
The Internet went crazy after the TD celly and the R&B legend appreciated it even more — not only ’cause he’s a Seahawks fan … but also because they killed it!!!
“That was freakin’ hilarious,” Gill tells us. “But, you know what’s so funny is that they’re one of the few that I actually saw, like, they actually had the form and everything down.”
Practice is everything. 👀

“I was watching the game, and I’m going, ‘OK! OK! AIGHT!’”
Gill says it was obvious how much time Moore, Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf 和 Jaron Brown put into perfecting the dance.
“They really honestly took time and they practiced. I was like ‘Yo, they’re right in sync and the form is correct.’”
Gill gets serious for a second, pointing out the dance just goes to show how timeless the group’s music really is … and that’s what made it even more special.
“True testament to our work, for anybody, when generations come and they’re aware of you and can appreciate what you’ve done. That’s a true testament to the hard work we put in and obviously you can’t even put it into words.”
Gill says the group of guys have done a great job all season — including their ‘NSYNC “Bye Bye Bye” tribute.
We also asked Gill if he’s ever down to join the WR corps next time they put on a New Edition rendition … and ya gotta hear his response!!!
