I think Bobby Brown is one of the most underrated artists of our generation. Unfortunately his bad boy reputation and his marriage to Whitney Houston seemed to overshadow his talent. Can you react to Roni? I think it really shows his vocal skills!❤
I can't believe I forgot about Roni. Great song. And totally agree about his talent overshadowed by his behavior. And it just got worse and and more tragic.
I think Bobby forgot how talented he was for a while. He let the worlds love of Whitney make him forget they loved him too. At some point the two got in each other’s way career wise and then in their own way.
The girls are wearing the 80s classic little black dress. My closet was black full of them. Plus a short bolero blazer with big shoulder pads and ofcourse the boots or flat pointy shoes.
Bobby Brown was in New Edition. the album that this song is from (don't be cruel) was his 2nd solo album and was the 7th biggest selling album of the 80's. its a classic and was around the beginning of the new jack swing era.
@@michaelwashington4408 Whitney Houston first album. Bruce Springsteen born in the USA and guns and roses I believe. The list has changed now but at the end of the 80’s it was number seven. Now I think it’s somewhere in the mid 30’s.
Married Whitney Houston and they both got caught in drugs sadly. He lost his daughter with Whitney in 2015. Tragic..... LJ P.s. AND he lost his son last November. You can't make this up. The man has had such a tragic life. But a great talent! He worked with Teddy Riley who produced Michael Jackson's album Dangerous (partially) .
It's less tragic. It is and was the drugs. He ruined himself, Whitney, and his entire family. It was tragic for the other three. HE was tragic for them.
Whitney was responsible for her own actions! She was doing cocaine long before her and Bobby got together; and he was into weed and alcohol before her! If anything, they got hooked on crack (or whatever) together and went downhill together! Don’t try to put all her misfortune onto him (and whoever else) like she was some angel who did no wrong! Those were choices that SHE made.
@@salwashabazz7329 thank you! I personally rooted for both of them to get to a better place. And I’m thrilled to see Bobby doing well with his current wife and remaining children, despite all that life has thrown his way. No one deserves to lose two children and to have the masses blame him for the downfall of someone else. I’m all for an overcomer!
@@kimberlypage5285: I agree with you too. It’s really good to see him doing so much better; and to have the support of a new wife and his remaining children is awesome! 🙂
Bobby brown played a big part in getting radio stations to play rap. Before his songs they would omit the rap breaks on r&b songs and call it the "radio edit." The man literally integrated r&b and hiphop in the mainstream. He paved the way for all the r&b bad boys of the 90s.
If you don’t start moving when this song comes on you dead! 😂 We went to the clubs back in the day and danced to this! Keep checking his work and enjoy! 🥰🎶❤️
I think whether I usually say it or not this is my favorite Bobby Brown song. I used to do the running man along with this video. I also wore bike shorts like actual pants. 🤫
I can't tell you how many times I watched this video growing up, learning all those moves. Got me some ladies back in my day though so I don't regret a thing.
Bobby was great!!! FUN FACT: He had that "slope hairstyle" because his Barbers clippers slipped and shaved off half his hair. But he just kept it like that. LOL
Bobby Brown was a bad, bad boy. He got himself in trouble with the law over some of his antics on stage (among other things). But he sure put out some good songs!
Just subscribed, I'll be 36 this yr and I hv an aunt that when she sees me to this day she says "sing that song, every little step for me baby" 😂 My older cuzns had me doing the dances and shit 😂
This auntie watched your reaction to New Edition "can you stand the rain", fun fact: Bobby Brown is a member of the group New Edition. You should watch the "New Edition movie. ❤
Bobby came from New Edition, and went solo like Ralph Tresvant and Johnny Gill. The other three made Bell Biv Devoe. Bobby married Whitney Houston and they had a turbulent relationship. The 'Biv' in Bell Biv Devoe is in fact Michael Bivins who managed and produced Boyz II Men
Absolutely loved your reaction, from start to finish. Especially the dancing along with the song. Bobby Brown was always a triple threat. He could sing, dance, and rap lyrics with great skill and charisma. He has so many fans, but mostly kids growing up in the 80s. Bobby was a big part of our childhoods, and so was New Edition.
I can’t decide which I like more…Bobby Brown or watching you enjoy the song. This was back before the heavy drugs and Whitney Houston. Great! Great, song and such exceptional talent. He glides across the floor without moving his legs. I’m really enjoying your channel. I sat here and watched video after video. 👍🏼
My vinyl of '89 was Tone Loc and Bobby Brown so tonight's choices have put a huge cheesy grin on my face. Try Blackbox, Ride on Time or Soul II Soul, Back to Life.
The King of R&B. Bobby Brown started off in New Edition. You should check out Mr Telephone Man (1984) by New Edition to see a young Bobby Brown before he was kicked out of the group. Don't Be Cruel (1988) album was a big time record IT sold 10 million units worldwide. Don't Be Cruel, My Prerogative and Rock Wit'cha are 3 songs off of that album that have videos for them. Also, Roni is the best song off of Bobby's Don't Be Cruel album. Had almost everyone at the time calling their girlfriends, wives, special someone a 'Tender Roni'.
Yay you reacted to Bobby Brown! You should also check out My Prerogative and On Our Own for his solo work and You Don’t Have to Worry which was with New Edition.
@@juanitadiemer64 they were already using drugs before they met. Whitney was already using cocaine, Bobby weed. Then whitney introduced Bobby to cocaine and it all went to hell.
@@juanitadiemer64 BS what? You don't like the truth? Whitney introduced Bobby to cocaine. Whitney was introduced to cocaine by her brother as a teenager. Who said Bobby hadn't been using weed? His drug abuse escalated during his relationship with Whitney? It's not my problem you don't know this.
The two dancers in the background... In the eighties that was a thing... Rappers started this... The first rapper to have two dancers in his group was Heavy D... From then on everybody at dancers in their group
I love watching music reaction videos. It still surprises me though when people say they don't know who the artist is. We had so much less technology growing up (in the 70s and 80s) , but I could name all the artists from my parents' and grandparents' eras, if not the songs they sang. Still, it's awesome to see today's younger generation still love the music that I grew up with. Wonderful reaction to Bobby Brown! He was a huge artist, and his music brings back great memories. I wish there was more upbeat music like this today because we sure need it. Cheers!
Late 1980s 🇬🇧 guy here, you’re so right! I remember buying the album on cassette tape and blasting it out my car window! Believe it or not I still have my 1980s tape box and “my god” they’re all beats! That was 1986 to 1992, my bird pulling years! That’s women chasing years to you! Cruising in my Ford Capri at 18 years of age onwards, can’t believe I’m now 51! Where did all the time go? I’m still cruising the south coast of England, and I’ve just bought another Ford Capri from the 80s to do it in! Turning back the sands of time! 🇬🇧❤️
80's R&B was so good! Others have mentioned some good stuff. I'd love to see you react to Al B. Sure - Off On Your Own. Also The Deele - Two Occasions.
Alright I'm ending it here tonight be sure to go watch the others videos I posted and give them a like
Gonna rest up for superbowl!
Check out Alan Jackson chattahgooche or Jocelyn brown - somebody else guy
Do "Every Little Step" with Wayne Brady Mike Tyson and Bobby Brown
Do "Every Little Step" with Wayne Brady Mike Tyson and Bobby Brown
Wait, did you just clutch your pearls at 5:39?! 😂😂🤣🤣 Too funny. Bob has that effect on people! lol
Do “My Prerogative” next, another song of his
100% agreed.
"On our own", "Roni", "Rock wit'cha", " Don't be cruel", "I really love you girl" and he won't be disappointed
Good call - couldn’t think of the name of it!
“I Need a Girlfriend”; his first solo debut was a great song too! 💙🙂
Don't Be Cruel is another hit
Bobby Brown "Humpin' Around", "My Prerogative", "Don't Be Cruel" 👍
Good enough, feeling inside, drop it on the one, On our own, etc..
Don't be cruel i forgot that
Two Can Play That Game!

Roni & Rock Witcha 💕💕
I think Bobby forgot how talented he was for a while. He let the worlds love of Whitney make him forget they loved him too. At some point the two got in each other’s way career wise and then in their own way.
his whole first album is one of the best rnb albums of all time
It was Bobby's use of drugs that brought him down, NOT his marriage. Whitney was a good thing for him and he brought her down with the drug use.
This song was the sh*t! My favorite is “ My Prerogative” Bobby Brown was very talented 🎯
Same!!
And On Our Own
Bobby came from the group "New Edition" - Try reacting to "Mr. Telephone Man" and "Cool it Now" (Love "Cool it Now")
I loved Mr. Tele
Cool it now is one of my favorite videos ever
“If it isn’t love” and “Cool it now!” I really love the video for “if it isn’t love” too!
Candy girl
If It Isn't Love or Can You Stand the Rain. Then cut into Bel Biv Devoe and Johnny Gill.
The girls are wearing the 80s classic little black dress. My closet was black full of them. Plus a short bolero blazer with big shoulder pads and ofcourse the boots or flat pointy shoes.
Omg me too girl
Yes!!! 😂
haha we all had that look!
still look good nowadays
He sings, he dances, he raps.... He's also a beatbox, you can hear him right after his rap. A lot of people miss it.
Bobby Brown was in New Edition. the album that this song is from (don't be cruel) was his 2nd solo album and was the 7th biggest selling album of the 80's. its a classic and was around the beginning of the new jack swing era.
7th u got the 2 Michael Jackson albums ..1 by Prince ..what was the other 3 albums that sold more?
@@michaelwashington4408 Whitney Houston first album. Bruce Springsteen born in the USA and guns and roses I believe. The list has changed now but at the end of the 80’s it was number seven. Now I think it’s somewhere in the mid 30’s.
Cameo - Word Up is another 80's classic
Candy!!
Love to see his reaction to Cameo - Word Up :)
@@GreenEyedHazel I like “word up” for sure- but “Candy” is my favorite!
No one has done word up yet !!
YESSSSSS! CAMEO WAS THE 80S!!!
This whole album was incredible!

@@wileycoyote4808 Whitney ruined herself. She had agency over her own life and was using drugs before they met. No need to bash the guy.

If anything, they got hooked on crack (or whatever) together and went downhill together! Don’t try to put all her misfortune onto him (and whoever else) like she was some angel who did no wrong!

When he says he went solo, that's because he used to be part of a music group called New Edition, who were famous and had numerous hits of their own
"Rock Witcha" is for sure one you shld listen to!!! He started with New Edition back in the day!!!
This album, "Don't Be Cruel" was a hit factory. Definitely worth listening to.

When he first went solo he was so much fun to watch and his talent is obvious.
If you don’t start moving when this song comes on you dead! 😂 We went to the clubs back in the day and danced to this! Keep checking his work and enjoy! 🥰🎶❤️
Bobby Brown worked on soundtrack for Ghostbuster 2 and had a small cameo in the movie. "Can I get a proton pack? My little brother really wants one."
Bobby was the MAN back then, had it all.
Just after his new edition days and pre whitney
I think whether I usually say it or not this is my favorite Bobby Brown song. I used to do the running man along with this video. I also wore bike shorts like actual pants. 🤫
I remember this out when I was a kid and playing it loads. Still makes me feel happy when I hear it now.
I can't tell you how many times I watched this video growing up, learning all those moves. Got me some ladies back in my day though so I don't regret a thing.
Two Can Play That Game, another Bobby Brown song that’ll get you moving and my favourite of his x
This reminds me of great nights out at the local nightclubs in the 80's - great times!!!!
He was so talented. But drugs brought him down. He not the same. My Perogative good one!
and apparently, contrary to popular opinion, Whitney was the one who got him all drug addicted, which i totally believe. She was a hot-mess.
Bobby was more of a drinker.
And the stroke
Whitney actually got him started as I remember, everyone thought it was the other way around.
Yes, I was going to say that.
Bobby was great!!!
FUN FACT: He had that "slope hairstyle" because his Barbers clippers slipped and shaved off half his hair. But he just kept it like that. LOL
Looks like Gumby 😎
That's hilarious.
Bobby Brown "my prerogative"
Debarge "Rhythm of the night"
Bel Biv Devoe "Poison "
Yeah Bel Bib Devoe's Poison is a great suggestion
That first solo album was fire. Full of hits.
I also like the song he did for Ghostbusters 2.
He was in new edition as a child.
He was in the group New Edition.
I can feel the wonderful energy in 1980s music that is seriously missing in music nowadays. What happened??😭
Bobby Brown was a bad, bad boy. He got himself in trouble with the law over some of his antics on stage (among other things). But he sure put out some good songs!
I’m my opinion THE BEST Bobby Brown video & song??..This ladies & gentlemen is called SWAG!
One of my most favourite songs. Bobby Brown was good. Listen to “On Our Own” next
That Ghostbusters 2 song is so underrated!!
Yes!!!
This song was always playing in summer 1989!
Great song and the video for it is such a great capture of NYC c. 1989!!!
My favorite Bobby Brown song ❤
Just subscribed, I'll be 36 this yr and I hv an aunt that when she sees me to this day she says "sing that song, every little step for me baby" 😂 My older cuzns had me doing the dances and shit 😂
This auntie watched your reaction to New Edition "can you stand the rain", fun fact: Bobby Brown is a member of the group New Edition. You should watch the "New Edition movie. ❤
Yessss- “if it isn’t love” and “cool it now!”
@@kimberlinibambini1988 If it isn't love and the vid to it = fav New Edition song
@@kathyo166 yes, agreed!
Yes dude, back then musical artists could do it all. You didn't need collabs
Bobby Brown been doing some rap verses in songs since the early 1980s when he was with the young-teen boy-band 'New Edition'.
That takes me back. Keep smiling brother
Bobby Brown came from New Edition with songs like "Telephone Man" and "Candy Girl" as well as when they reunite with "Hit me off" and " Still in Love"
2 of his slow cuts is " Rock with you", and " tender roni" if you want to hear his range.
Such good times back then.
One of my favorite songs by Bobby 🌹♥️
This song never gets old to me.
Reliving my teen years. Heaps more of his to listen. "Don't be Cruel" was the one that made me go out and but his cassette tape 😀
Check out his rap in “On Our Own” the theme from Ghostbusters 2
He was married to Whitney Houston. My Prerogative is another good song, with a few others. some have mentioned. Britney Spears remade My Prerogative.
I still dance to this song OFTEN!! My Prerogative is sooo good too!!
He was in the R&B group New Edition
Don't be cruel is a must
Thank you J great songs tonight and oh yeah this man can dance! 🕺🕺🕺

"I can't keep up" Had me cracking up.😆😆
Love this song.. his best and most uplifting one.. wish him all the best. He has a good heart..
My vinyl of '89 was Tone Loc and Bobby Brown so tonight's choices have put a huge cheesy grin on my face. Try Blackbox, Ride on Time or Soul II Soul, Back to Life.
Lol Jay getting in the groove. You help it with this song. Great choice great reaction Jay. Stay safe everyone 😀😀
Bobby Brown walked so Chris Brown could run.
Bobby Brown's Humpin' Around was great too! Shame the drugs messed him big time, he was talented.
Seen him live in the 80s
This was one of the hits of Bobby's after he was fired from the group New Edition!!! He seriously BLEW UP!!!!
Don’t know how it took so long to get to him. Can’t wait for more.
He was part of New Edition

GOOD ONES tonight !! 😊👌
'Roni'! 'rock witcha' is also good.
Great reaction...the 80 and 90s music always made you happy. This is one of tracks. Bobby with a classic jam. Enjoyed it.
Back in the day we all had mix tapes I still remember the track that came after this one lol it was The Boyz - Dial My Heart ❤️
Yay you reacted to Bobby Brown! You should also check out My Prerogative and On Our Own for his solo work and You Don’t Have to Worry which was with New Edition.
Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston were a power couple.
Yeah, I wish they never got together. A lot of pain would've been avoided.
.....before they ruined their lives with DRUGS !!
@@juanitadiemer64 they were already using drugs before they met. Whitney was already using cocaine, Bobby weed. Then whitney introduced Bobby to cocaine and it all went to hell.
@@jennifertebomosiane9596 BS ! How do you wanna know all that ??? Bobby smokin`Weed ........Yeah, in Kindergarden ! :)

So your next obvious Bobby Brown songs should be My Prerogative and Don't Be Cruel
Also check out “Don’t Be Cruel”, “My Prerogative”, and “Something In Common” ft Whitney Houston.
😆😂☺️😎 Your reaction to this is hilarious.

Love your reaction choices. Hadn't heard that in years. I owned this on a 12 inch vinyl single. Played it to death. Incredibly infectious.
Always loved him! One of my fav songs from way back.
One of the best albums that came out. Every song is a hit.
"This Bobby Brown dude ... " lol
Try 'On Our Own' from Ghostbusters ll. The video features a future president.
I guess they had to step it up since the video for the first movie has a future U.S. Senator...
😋
This was on the credits scene of Ghostbusters...
D Trump
Yeah Bobby Brown went solo when he left New Edition. And part of New Edition is part of Bell Biv DeVoe, they all did separate songs look it up.
I'm glad people are rediscovering the 80s culture.... Happy vibes...great music...and a chill attitude...Gen X
Late 1980s 🇬🇧 guy here, you’re so right!
I remember buying the album on cassette tape and blasting it out my car window!
Believe it or not I still have my 1980s tape box and “my god” they’re all beats!
That was 1986 to 1992, my bird pulling years! That’s women chasing years to you!
Cruising in my Ford Capri at 18 years of age onwards, can’t believe I’m now 51!
Where did all the time go? I’m still cruising the south coast of England, and I’ve just bought another Ford Capri from the 80s to do it in! Turning back the sands of time! 🇬🇧❤️
Former member of New edition
Bobby Brown was a part of New Edition and their from Boston my favorite New Edition song was Mr. Telephone man that mostly was Bobby's song
Must do: Jungle Love - Morris Day and The Time
Prince - Lets Go Crazy
Oran Juice Jones - The Rain
De mis favoritas🎵❤
He was in the original group New Edition
80's R&B was so good! Others have mentioned some good stuff. I'd love to see you react to Al B. Sure - Off On Your Own. Also The Deele - Two Occasions.
Try Rockwell "Somebody's Watching Me" 😉
Yes Jay!! This is a must hear!
Yessssssssss
I can't count the number of times i danced to this.. til today it gets me on the dance floor
