@mrinnervisionz I agree with you 100% the problem is people really don't know that Ms. Houston brought Bobby down. The sad reality is that he got the shitty end of the stick at the end of the day. But hands down he was in his performance prime in the late 80's early 90's if he didn't get mixed up with drugs it no telling how much more he could have accomplished.
@200damary Whitney Houston turned Bobby on to cocaine & crack, a lot of people don't know that! Bobby used to smoke weed & drink, it was'nt until he got with Whitney that he started the cocaine! Still he was a badass on the stage & in concert! I got to see Bobby Brown in concert 3 times in the late 80s & mid 90s, the man was a fuckin beast!
I totally agree he was a trendsetter and he looks good on here, hes great w his legs great dancer.I think him and Whitney were great 2gether minis the drugs and really loved each other but the drugs just made them toxic 2getha ,their personalities clashed because drugs r evil and love no1 but their 2 great entertainers,so glad 2 c them clean and redoin their career thang, love them
It's too personal drama has eclipsed Bobby's immense talent cause this performance was beyond stellar! Top notch energy start to finish and the music was actually really damn good...still sounding awesome 20 years later.
And even the audience was jammin and not just the kids in the rafters but the stiffs down front too! I have these AMAs on VHS and i still pop it in to reminisces.
Naaah....You outta your fuckin mind to even think he was better than Michael Jackson..And that's real talk...But they were completely different..Michael had the robot and moonwalk era, while Bobby had the new jack swing era... Bobby was excellent in the 80's and if he had not turned to drugs he would have been doing more things. This performance here only shows that he was once a talented young brother. We're so busy with these artists personal lives..we forget how great they were and are. smh.
man too bad i was 1 when he performed this. i'm not a fan of bobby brown and the choices he made but damn he killed it. he kind of reminded me of michael, hardcore version. but there is only one michael. bobby owned that stage and i just wish he didn't turn to drugs and constantly getting into trouble. i think he would've had a bigger career.
bobby was da fuckin shit!!! dont be cruel was wat it was bout back den aside from da immortal michael jackson. i only wish dat michael and bobby coulda did a concert or album together. also i wish heda sang dont be cruel in dis.
U can't tell about drug usage during either performance, he did drugs as a kid as well. Drugs or no drugs, I prefer the 90's live performance cause it's always good to hear the artists. This performance is still cool cause Bobby knows how to entertain.
that dont mean bobby brown is really singin cause this is diff than the album version, thats a performance were a 2nd version is made so he can play that song live, he can't be so on point with dancing and sing at the same time, he'll run outta breath, michael did it too , look up "dangerous live"
iF YOU DUMB WHITE PEOPLE KNOW, HE SUNG THIS SONG NO LIP SYNC. HE EVEN TWISTED UP A LITTLE. WE DON'T MIND...CAUSE EVEN WHEN WE CAN'T SING, WE CAN SING...BLACKS I MEAN. FUCK ALL YOU NON-WHITE SINGERS.
Bobby use to be the 'ish back in the day. He was the King of R&B. In his prime he would give Usher & Chris Brown a run for their money. But sadly, Bobby Brown has to be the biggest waste of talent ever!! Who knows how big he could have been if he didn't get caught up with drugs! :(
Hard to tell when the video and audio are poorly synced due to YouTube's fault, but I don't think this one is lip-synced. If it is, Bobby is singing to a backing track that is different than the studio recordings, which is rare for lip-syncing.
As for MJ, if you check out any videos from his 1987 Bad tour, there was zero lip-syncing! (Unlike '90s Michael..) So back in the day MJ danced like crazy and didn't need backing tracks!
right, u would definitely hear him breathing in the mic as hard as he is dancing in this clip, it's OK if he is lipping it, he's dancing his ass off. good performance, listen to the crowd while Anita is intro-ing him
your an idiot he wasnt lip singing because there was no backround vocal of his voice its called back up singers i would know hes my dad he never lip sings dumbass
"Every little step i take,You will be there" (grew up on this) the man can dance his ass off but its those silk ass shoes hes wearing thats why hes sliding like that. "Bobby The Wonder"
i use to see them when they all hung out trying to get that big break at the talent concerts - ah the days of maury starr and the boston market downtown. lol i remember their 1st record deal - they (new edition) rolled through the neighborhood in tricked out jeeps! lol
This fucking guy was a trend setter and ahead of his time, but he let drugs get the better of him. Fucking crazy, so much fucking talent. The dance moves, song writing and natural musicality. I guess for some people its so easy.
This performance was THE best back in the day. B. Brown at his peak was better than any one out right now, imo. Still hoping someone comes a long and changes the game the way he did back then.
I don't know about ya'll , but Bobby Brown is a much better entertainer than Chris Brown. Music back then was much better. I don't know what happened.
This was a great performance and I didn't see a peek of a Michael Jackson move. Unlike others in todays music industry, truly great stuff ALL BOBBY BROWN!
This is to show everyone how great Bobby Brown was during his prime. He will always be remembered as one of the greatest music entertainers of all time. Love you Bobby!!!!! King of New Jack Swing!!!!
You dont see dancing and moves like that these days....smooth as silk man! He was the best and in his prime, every performer has one good act left in them, come on Bobby we wanna see you in 2009, u u you know it!
he was was just as good as michael jackson as far as the dancing goes but wasn't a better musician.
