Bobby Brown - GirlFriend(Boston 1987 Awards)

[whatdheck100]

LOOKING AT THIS AND REMEMBERING HOW ON TOP HE WAS & "BOOM!!! WHEN AND DID THE WRONG THING..HOOKED UP WITH WHITNEY ...THEY WERE A DANGEROUS COMBINATION..RUINED EACH OTHER..WHAT A SHAME AND WASTE OF TALENT, LIFE TIME & LOVE

[wiltisdabest]

could you imagine how hard it would be to do that give like 100% and no one is in to it too bad if i was there damn i would be cheering b brown on

[GhettoKarter1992]

who's that girl @1:06

[ardiswilliamsjr]

Lol!! He was really pissed at 5:52. You can hear it in his voice.. lol!!

[GhettoKarter1992]

@ardiswilliamsjr, yeah. especially at 5:55 to 5:58!

The "Well, well...well, well" was by Luther Vandross and his song "A House Is Not A Home"...if I'm not wrong, after he said "say you wanna be" about 6 times, in this video: watch?v=y8_ExFWcny0 @6:06-6:10

---

both the songs are the best to me :)

[yaboishanesabloker]

hey its tyler the creator

[Baboontroop]

Found my way to this song after some of the adults in the family starting dogging the kids at a family event about their artists and how they can't sing or hold a candle to our artists.

Mr. Brown had and still has a following and couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, but it didn't matter because we thought he was cool. Let's stop picking on the kids music and let them enjoy their music like we enjoyed ours.

[wiltisdabest]

@Baboontroop of course he could whats wrong with your ear if you think he can't sing?

[dapdaddy10]

THAT'S IT!!

RIGHT THERE!!

That was his vocal peak after that he screamed his voice out and now all it's just a rasper.

[bigpip32]

KING OF R&B!!!!!!!!

[BALlin247ful]

damn bobby had a wonderful voice

[scratchshootin]

Bobby Brown wasn't nearly as well known at the time. Plus, he had just broken out on his own, and while he was selling, as Temptations/Boyz II Men can attest to, it's hard when you're crossing over like he attempted to do here.

It's moot, because Brown will go down as one of the transformers of the 90's for sure.

[aquariuspisces219]

that was staged bc why is FREE walking like that?

[aquariuspisces219]

yes i luv the tightfaced Bobby, I miss this look!

[lordhelps1]

had great chrisma but off tune a lot. But carries it anyway. nice job.

[amillionbucs]

5:45 to 5:55 he killed it

[bankableatl]

@Rustyparapper I agree it was rude, but I know you've watched a performer perform their butt off & the crowd don't react. This wasn't his target market & most of them ppl probably never heard of his music. He was trying 2 take them out their comfort zone. A young kid singing a NEW genre of music/song they don't know. You can't call them racist just stuffy & uncomfortable

[Sweetiekins23]

Bobby brown was kinda hot bakc then !

[36tookie]

I Love this performance in Boston Bobby sounded great , Thats also Free from 106 and park Great performance

[bankableatl]

how can ya'll call these ppl KKK and racist... Bobby Brown was performing R&B in front of country/ rock&roll/ not his usually audience & these ppl r in suites and a gowns- the award show was stuffy. It was a great performance by Bobby but he was out of place.

[Rustyparapper]

@bankableatl if that was the case, the audience was still very rude, he thanked them and Boston for making the record number one, the least they could do was participate and repeat after him! No they just sat there quiet, Bobby was SINGING his HEART out and they couldnt show him no love! His was speaking plain english!

[IceManLikeGervin]

Bobby wasn't having it he was gonna make them feel him.lol

[charlene12341234]

People wanted Whitney to get with a white guy. They don't like to see both blacks in the lime light. Bobby wasn't any worse than the Osbornes- they did things and saw things just the way they WANTED to. We'er gonna miss BOBBY BROWN when he leaves this one perspective- one sided world! We did him wrong as a black society. We fell BOBBY.

[tunbev]

the music sound like sample from Switch with Bobby Debarge..I Wanna Get Closer..what you yall think?

[rarabarak]

he sounded just like the radio, which is a good thing...Boston was straight racist back then..who am I kidding they still are..I bet if half those people knew who he would turn out to be it would have been different

[wd0101]

I think that the lady dancing with him is free from 106&park

[Ttj38]

OMG ! SO MANY GREAT MEMORIES ! THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS ! LOVE BOBBY B.

[Serg7sj]

So much talent and ppl didn't seem to recognize when it was right in front of their noses..

[WeInTheFlesh]

[x213p]

[Shedatear1]

Dag no crowd participation that's so wack but aleast he gave it his all the crowd was just a damn drag.

[Shedatear1]

[ednoroirika]

Bob had to work for this crowd. Bet you he didn't have to work as hard two year later.

[SuperGraceland]

Bobby you better say that! ..... now thats a down to earth performer and they repeated after him after he said that 2 ..... your hometown always be the ones hating when you blow up anyway ..... but hey, even with the jail time and child support failures ... he's still makin it.. Keep pushing Bobby You'll be able to retire and never tour again .....

[DctrNugget]

[flyjcream93]

[keydog11]

Wow it sure does look like Free. How old is she? She looks 20 here.

[Knyte77]

Raw performance. The guy was up against a very "rocker" crowd...and yes, that was a code word.

[neeta37]

Free!

[jdfodio]

A guy would get beat up for wearing this outfit now

[keydog11]

He looks like Frankie from Frankie Beverly and Maze. He still rocks the white wife-beaters pants and hat.

[pjfs21]

they didnt know the song

[Nikelea]

True they probably didn't know the song but they could have played along. He gave them the words and the melody. He really did have to dang near threaten them to get them to participate. LOL

[Troyelle]

CLASSIC BOBBY!

[supremejoseph1]

I always knew Free was a freak groupie!

[produce21]

yo he put his heart soul in this performance and people wont givin him no energy this is praly one of bobbys best performances ever vocally he sounded at his best right here it was off da chain

[amd77j]

My favorite Bobby Brown song.

[POMPANOGURL]

[aab071216]

I'm going to just say for the record, Free is under thae age of 39 and older than 35! Thanks, and if anyone should know it's me. Keep on the lookout for Free's new show and her new album.

[cloverfield00]

We are Glad to Hear Free is Coming out wit a New show and New Album,We miss Her At 106&Park,Her Fans ask me if i seen her,I only know she was on some radio station in LA.

[cloverfield00]

Yes Fans thats Free from 106&Park! She said she was from Boston,And reppin Boston Celtics,I guess thats where she Met New Edition,Thats there town,Today Free should be 40 now,If Im wrong she will correct me or my Cousin from BET will,people were pickin at here dress,Butt! remember this in Boston in 87 Our NY clothes Lil different in 87,Free looks good for her age,So does Halle Berry, I dont know who cut her,She made me dance on stage my 1st day of 106&park,I really didn't want to,Now Im ms.106&P

[caprise10]

why weren't the crowd laughing and singing when he asked them too.

[cloverfield00]

I heard they didn't know the song in boston But he did say Thank you for makin this song # 1 he thought they Knew it,They seemed to be laid back,If he was in Ny where i live we knew the song and we would be singing,and giving him Feed Back,He was only 17 yrs old,Mad Confidence for his age,Ms.106&Park!

[lordwillin20]

THAT GIRL IS FREE FROM 106&PARK

[grumpy77l]

This was a really awsome performance! This is Real True R&B....notice how confident he is....real singing...no tricky dance moves...no electric slide... no voice box enhancement.. he had the crowd by Really Singing..something that some of these new R&B cats don't do.

[DEBRADAYLON]

everyone better leave my man Bobby ALONE!

[herculeshernandez]

I'm gettin' upset... I'M GETTIN' UPSET! Dude sounded like he was about to change colors and rip out of his clothes, lmao

[KEYBEATZ]

He was actually 17 then. Now that was (or is confidence)

[KEYBEATZ]

Beantown has the biggest haters, If it weren't for the rest of the country, we wouldn't even know Who New Edition, or Bobby Brown is. Thats why in case you'll out there haven't noticed noboby from boston hasn't made it in the music industry lately! And it's only because of Boston why this is a factor.

[NikkiKLuv2335]

I love this and Bobby! He was the shit!!

[blackprincess9789]

if his ass was yellin at me like that i would leave lol i don't care lol

[stevej02]

lol he was about to perform a beat down on anyone who wouldnt sing.

Bobby is still the king !!

[kcoldboy]

yo i love FRee...she about to drop her debut album and its gonna be dope...haters fall back!!!

[mgalore]

Bobby has decent voice here knows how to use it where he can stay within his range thats important ... good performer

[87even]

Are you gonna say it? Are you gonna say it?

LOL

[BigPostal]

reminds me of eddie murphy in dreamgirls...

[leboyd2730]

this is an incredible performance, and song...and the crowd is giving him nothing to work with. he's only 18, but his vocals are the same as on his cd...stupid crowd, but classic song!

[trinaroni]

"can anyone in here talk?" LOL buncha stiff Bostonians! lol

[sfap001]

Bobby ain't a real good singer but he could certainly put on a good show for you though.

[victornewman06]

"I'm getting upset...I'm getting upset" That crowd was dead as shit OTFLMBAO!!!!!!!!!!!! Frustration at 5:50 wow LOL. I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

[DEBRADAYLON]

ILL BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND BOBBY

[Chrizmooo]

I think Whitney has learnt her stage presence from wathching Bobby. What he said in the intro, it sounded just like her...

[MaryIsrael06]

love this song. old school

[BmoEdwards]

wow..

the audience is REALLY dead.

[CrescentSword]

Free is in BBD vid WORD TO THE MUTHA getting molested by Mike. She is on a live stage sweating Bobby. I wonder was the NE crew passing her around.

[tonyfears]

I see you love Whitney that cool! but back in the day 87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94 Bobby Brown............ was all most as big as M,J and Prince (sales and sold out Stage shows) bobby was grate for new edition at the time but even batter solo arties. That fast not my opinion!

[msnw82]

The girl on this video was more willing than the girl in the Roni video, I must say I'm mad at her bangs and her church dress

[urblegend79]

This was one of Bobby's earliest hits....he was tight back in the day. Even post-crack...he's still got that singin' voice. Gotta give em' props.

[sgregg173]

Oh yeah that's Free!!!!!!!!!! Hot mess!

[m0ntrell]

Bobby was hihihihihigh!

[m0ntrell]

Free old and tell me why all the young dudes used to try and holla at her on 106

[mdot012]

Free ain't that old. It ain't like she's in her 40s or 50s or somethin'. She's like 36 or 37. She still looks good.

[qsbird]

Well that was the time when he was NORMAL and without crack!!!!! To sad BOBBY is the best example what drugs do to your brain!!!!

[PnoySlide213]

[slikdarelic]

[Lean1981]

Wow, his voice is so high! LOL But at least he is on key.

[Khleoswife]

OMG! Look at Free! lol I love he's not getting any response out of the crowd.

[ImPrettyDammit]

Hey look at Bobby in the wife beater!! That song was new so alot of people hadn't heard it guess he thought they did cause he said the album #1! Look at Free in her church dress! I thought she was on the way to a convention or something! Crack is Whack! Guess Whit found out the hard way!
