For those of you who are rating R. Kelly above Bobby Brown. Without Bobby Brown, there would BE no R. Kelly. Kelly's swagger-R&B style is straight from the Bobby Brown playbook. In fact, ALL of the R&B swagger males owe a debt to Bobby Brown, because it was he who popularized that style. Before him, dudes in R&B tended to be like Freddie Jackson and Luther Vandross. Keith Sweat was one of the exceptions, but he wasn't really a dancer.
BOBBY MUTHAFUCKEN BROWN!!!! What a performer. I can't even believe he was so high on top of the world, then he feel all the way to the bottom!!! He is doing better now but still. If he would have just kept this energy up, stayed away from drugs, and put his music first, he would have been up there with Michael Jackson, James Brown, and all the other legends!!
Just like he does on his records LIVE. You can't have 1 great album( don't be cruel), & be the king of anything. No different than you can have one great NBA season & be considered the greatest all time. Greatest is determined by consistency, & impact. No solo artist in R & B had that more than Kells.
Great performance!!! This was Bobby at his peak! He was a great dancer & brought a hip hop swagger never seen before in R &B. He was also the precursor to jodeci( R&B singers with a street look). However, R. Kelly is unquestionably the King of R &B. He wrote & produced all his songs, & wrote classic songs for countless others. Bobby was a talented performer, but not a talented artist because he did not write his songs. His vocals were suspect too as he was lip synching here. R. Kelly sounds jus
You are right with Dont Be Cruel...IMO this is really one of the best albums ever but you cant compare it to R.Kelly...cause R.Kelly did also masterpiece-albums like 12 Play & R. with the HUGE difference that R wrote & produced everything...Bobby did nothing but singing and Babyface & LA Reid wrote & produced everything...so artist-wise R.Kelly is shiiting BIG on Bobby...but nobody could fukk with B in the late 80s and early 90s...his energy was just incredible!
@PaToNeymaR99 eww r.kelly is a damn pedophile!SORRY,im not one to believe the negativity of the media but that nigga a pedophile.He married aaliyah wen she was 15,named her album age aint nuttin but a number!"My mind is tellin me no but my body is tellin me yes!"Bobby B shits on r.kelly all day,everyday!hhes the King Of New Jack Swing,he cud rap,dance,sing,act & beatbox!
you are not objective cause you are a big Bobby B fanboy...i mean there are also Lindsay Lohan fans that say "she is the best...she can sing,act etc"...also only cause Bobby is in a movie that dont mean he can act...watch a Denzel Washington...that is an actor not Bobby...Bobby can rap?okay if you count that as rap then R Kelly can also rap...even Waka Flocka & souljah Boy...i guess u never listened to some old R Kell shit cause he was rappin all day...
and to the next..R Kelly is an better singer..thats a fact..watch his performance @ Soul Train Awards 2010..i know you dont gonna watch it but then dont talk about how much better Bobby is cause you dont know shit about Kellz.also is MJs music shitty cause he touched some kids?is Mike Tyson a bad fighter cause he raped a woman?no..of course its not good but that dont make the music worse..also Bobby is a fukkin Cokehead..is his music now shitty?your arguments are just ignorant
Yo... Bobby rocked the hell out of this performance... This man can sing and dance his ass off... Want proof? Sing: 0:45 and dancing: 0:59... Come on man! LOL!
Bobby is a really underrated dancer. I love the enthusiasm and the confidence he had in his steps. You would think he'd be too self absorbed to pay that much attention to his dance timing. I guess that's why he's King of New Jack Swing!!
what i like about bobby was his "i don't give a fuck attitude" that he possessed, at 4:00 in his impromptu rap he says "sip the spit off the tip of my balls sack" and this is the american music awards! gotta love the mans energy and bold attitude!
the difference between Usher and bobby brown in his prime is the way bobby moves and his ultra high energy level in comparison to ushers more relaxed style
the ironic part is I was thinking the same thing about growing old, like if he didn't get f'd up wit hard drugs he'd be in shape enought to still be like this a little, ya know. but as I was scrolling down the comments I just busted out when I saw you, shitney. hu hu oh shit! that tickled me, as my Ant Cissy would say!!!
Shitney mind fucked him better than any crack pipe.
As for getting old...I think age is only a barrier in the mind, you only have to look at those 80 year old codgers that run a marathon...or Madonna shaking her well fucked arse on stage to see that.
Wow he was at his peak here !!! How old was he then bout 21, 22 ? anyone know? His voice has changed a lot now he's got a bit older still an rnb legend tho!!!!

Bobby didn't need any other albums to prove how dope he was. "Don't be Cruel" is without a doubt one of the best music albums ever created.
R Kelly and Usher combined can't even come close to the awesomeness of the KING OF NEW JACK SWING!!!.
