[Mssassysabrina]

Do you know how to define great music? If it can seamlessly cross generations, genres and races, it is great music. This is great music.

[IceManLikeGervin]

Weird seeing Ronnie singing Bobby's part.

[zr22000]

this is stupid,where's bobby

[ebarries]

he quit the group at that time and got his own deal and starting recording king of stage

[Coolyfett]

The Host said it was the number 6 song of the week...so this had to be early 85, THIS must be the Solid Gold show Ralph was talking about that started the wheels turning of Bobby being dismissed.

[Coolyfett]

This is really weird to watch! Where is Bobby he was still in the group at this time?? WTF? Devoe looks way outta place.

[skipper8257]

Bobby Brown before he took Whitney and himself into the gutter. To bad to waste such God given talent.

[NOLAsoulchild]

@skipper8257 Obviously you're a Whitney fan...I am, too...But, I've never met either of them in person, so I don't judge them. Furthermore, you must just not like Bobby and you're still on this Bobby bashing campaign cuz Bobby isn't even in this video...You're just looking to bash him.

If you think Whitney Houston is a stupid & naive woman, you certainly can't be that big a fan of hers bc everyone know Whitney don't play. She chose him for a reason, respect that. Don't hate him, hate her.

[skipper8257]

@NOLAsoulchild

Mymistake, I thought Bobby was with New Edition at this time. I used to love Whitney but no more. So you believe Brown had no influence on Whitneys drug addition and was never violent with her? I know it takes TWO but he's a peace of shit as far as I am concerned. Just my opinion.

[NOLAsoulchild]

@skipper8257 While I respect your opinion, I can't say I agree. You don't like Whitney anymore? Both Bobby & Whitney gained success initially bc of their music & entertainment, and that's solely what I base my like or dislike of them on. Whatever happened between them in their personal life is none of our business, regardless of what's been in the media. Until either of them do somn to me in person, I won't say I don't like them cuz I don't know em. I will however judge their music

[skipper8257]

@NOLAsoulchild

I am not saying that I don't like Whitney. I think she was and is a beautiful women with tremedous talent. What I don't like is what she has done to her fans. I loved her music but she has taken that away from us. She has done concerts where she hasn't been able to finish. Her fans made her and if she is going to have a concert at least get clean enough to give her fans what they paid for. Anyone with her God given talents should not just trash them.

[NOLAsoulchild]

@skipper8257 Well, Whitney was a very VERY powerful vocalist & she set very standaeds for herself, but she's no longer a 25 year old. She's damnere 50 & she's no longer able to do what she did back then. I'm a Michael Jordan fan, too, but if I'd go see him play today, it'll be unrealistic for me to expect him perform like he did in his prime. I'd enjoy him at least coming out & giving us fans the opportunity to see him as he is now.

[NOLAsoulchild]

@skipper8257 With Whitney's well documented drug use, she admittedly said she initially did not want to perform or sing anymore, but instead raise her daughter & be a mother, but she recorded "I Look To You" & toured bc of her fans, not for money, but for her fans. Only thing is, she was expected to perform like she was 25 again & it doesn't work like that. I give her credit for at least trying &  honestly don't think she'd willfully not finish a show, her body is tired. She's trying...

[NOLAsoulchild]

@skipper8257 I personally think they had influence on eachother. I think Bobby gave her an avenue to be who she really was without being judged or being held up to this "Pop Princess" title. She could curse, get freaky, smoke without being looked @ funny. She couldn't do that with Eddie Murphy, so Bobby was freedom. Now, that's just my opinion. Nevertheless, I won't call them peices of shit or anything else cuz I don't know them, never met em & they never did nothin to me. I wish the best 4 both

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

@NOLAsoulchild

Concerning those people that find it amusing to bash and judge others on public forums.It would be something to see their lives captured on video and in the tabloids over the course of 20 yrs.Relationships gone bad,Every ticket,Job Firing (& reasons why),Displaying unruly conduct in the streets,Random photos of one walking to the laundry mat ect...People need to be more sensitive in certain scenarios.

[reg12269]

@NOLAsoulchild dude where the heck is bobby? always awol, no one else missed dates.

[Defenseman619]

@NOLAsoulchild Haha I totally agree. I could care less about drama, just the music. Music is personal and sentimental. Sure, some people are monsters (Rick James?), but you can't take away the time, place or innocence. Here's a tangent... Gary Glitter. Pedo. But there was so much protest in my hockey arena (Shark Tank in SJ) because it was the goal song and they pulled it. So much so that they put it back. Yes, some of the issues are horrid, but what it originally did for you... untouchable.

[sabri35]

Wow..I remember that too..! Love the video! It brings back sooo many memories!
