People forget how commercially huge Bobby was but he negative image ultimately ruined his stardom and legacy and the white music executives blacklisted him. While Micheal Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen and Janet Jackson are the face of the 80s and culturally regarded as the foundation and pioneers of modern day Pop music, Bobby Brown has had some impact on Pop Culture as well. Bobby Brown in addition to his group (New Edition) has inspired a profusion of artists such as: Usher, Chris Brown, Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, TLC, Boys To Men, New Kids On The Block, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Neyo and the list goes on. Regardless of what the media portrays of Bobby Brown, he is a legend.
That energy he had was all natural. We didn't have Red Bull back then. You guys are very observant. Bobby has said that Rick James was his biggest musical influence. Good song choice. This song was massive and straight 🔥👍
@@hazelb7218 It didn't reach the states until the 90's. This song was recorded in '88. My comment was based off of their reference to Red Bull not any other substance. 😁👌
Yep, Rick James was more than a musical influence to him, unfortunately. The wild behaviour also rubbed off on him but thankfully he has calmed down significantly.
Definitely not all “natural” energy lol….Most of that was probably the crack cocaine he was smokin at this point in time in his career. That being said, he was and still is super talented. I give him mad credit as well for him getting and staying sober. I know from personal experience that sobriety is extremely difficult to achieve and maintain, so kudos to Bobby Brown 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@a.k.4486 I read "Don't Be Cruel" went 7×'s platinum here in America.Yes! knew about Worldwide sales of 10-million."Brown that's what they call me" was Awesome!👍👍
Definitely one of his best jams! I saw him and New Edition in concert last month and it's awesome to see him still doing his thing, after all he's been through!!
Bobby's "My prerogative" video was inspired by Janet Jackson's "Control" video both songs were very popular and they were a couple at the time. Bobby was arrested after a concert for his sexy dance moves.
True, though as an independent song (away from album), I believe this was more popular than Control. Cool songs. This tore up the NYC clubs back in the day. New Jack at its finest. Dont be Cruel gave him the one-two-three punch to own the late 80s ("Every Little Step" this and "Don't Be Cruel")...It was the trifecta of the time.
Wow, I only heard and read about that concert. You were lucky to have seen it! Bobby was opening for NE and then when his album blew up, he was taken off the tour so he could headline his own tour!
I was 18 and still got my pictures from that show. That was a great concert. I had a seat on the side lower level right by the stage. Great pictures of all of them.
You young men are really becoming experts at music and music genres and personalities. That was a very astute comparison you made between Bobby's stage presence and Rick James. Love you guys 💞
The original R&B badboy. He has been thru so much with his addictions, mental health issue and untimely passing of his ex wife Whitney Houston and his daughter Bobbi Brown. He is like Rick James here. The boy bands owe a lot to Bobby Brown! Prayers to him.
I'm still a fan of the whole New Edition crew. I'm glad they're getting the respect they deserve. Bobby wasnt the lead singer but he was the 1st to put his career in his own hands, the ORIGINAL bad boy. 👑. And I'm Glad you brothers are going strong 👑👑👍🏽
When he says, "Right Ted?" he's talking about super producer Teddy Riley who created the New Jack Swing. There's a whole list of artists who benefitted from that sound. :)
Me too! But I also love seeing them love this song. My parents said this music was nonsense that no one would remember a year from then. 25 years later and people still find this song amazing. Despite what they said, It's timeless.
Bobby Brown was BAD!! He could sing, dance, he had swag, he had the ladies too! He was IT back in the day! Loved me some Bobby Brown.🥰❤ Please play more of Bobby. Songs like Don't Be cruel, On Our Own (from the Ghostbusters Sound Track) and Good Enough.
Wow this is his first billboard number one. The album was number one and was knighted best album of the year at the Grammys that year. Great song. I still get the same feeling I got back in 1988
Michael Jackson said this was his FAVORITE song of all time. Loved it. Look up Smooth B & Bobby Brown's Micheal Jackson story. It's insane! Lol you're welcome🤣
THIS WHOLE ALBUM!! It produced soooo many singles. I always felt like it was the rise and fall of my boi, because it stayed hot so long. He didn't really do anything else. It made him a Mega-star....To see them all still around and able to perform with each other is a blessing.
So no one but me is going to talk about how funny it was at the end when Tim said that Bobby got the air pregnant with all those pelvic thrusts? lol Oh my gosh I'm still laughing while I type this. Please react to the song True by Spandau Ballet...you'll love it....I promise the air is still innocent at the end of the song 😛
@@cherylreichardt Same here! Only thing I hated more, is when the girls called, mom was "Miss Telephone Woman" answered the phone.Phone was in the living room next to couch on the table. No caller ID on push button phone my family had at the time.Then when ID came out later,same story.😂😂Mom would tell the girls,he's busy with homework and chores,he can't talk to you O.K.bye! I had to go too cologne smelling hand written letters like Bobby Brown said in his hit song "Roni"LOL!😂😂
Here's the original BAD Boy! Miss those days! This song still hit different after all these years. I bet many young folks go in trouble saying "My Perrogative" to the wrong person, like their parent or teacher!😊😊 I saw him perform this with the rest of New Edition 2 weeks ago while they were touring. Looking back, I'm glad I grew up in the 80s - so much great music and so much fun!! ❤❤
I feel like it the song can apply to toher things than sex you like dressing a certain style, religion, or certain lifestyles that are seen unconvential, or taste in music
I’ve become such a Bobby Brown fan, when I was growing up my mom said he was not a good person because of his bad boy reputation (and Whitney’s drug addiction got blamed on him). But mama should have known bad boys don’t bother me lmao. Love him. So sorry for all he’s been through losing Whitney and Bobbi Kristina.
@3:14 - In his autobiography, Bobby said that he hung out with Rick James backstage when they were on tour together. Rick was a major influence. Taught him some good and bad things! @6:43 - "Wild! He most definitely got the air pregnant, humping at that point..." 😂He was spreading his seed around quite generously back then. See also 18+ years of child support, lawsuits/wage garnishment, baby mama drama, STDs, losing your soul, etc.
This was Bobby's "breakout" song. Similar to what Janet Jackson did on "Control," this was Bobby declaring his independence and stating that he would be calling his own shots and making his own decisions about his future. Hands down his biggest hit on a lot of levels.
Actually I wasn't, it was DON'T BE CRUEL (was his 1st), MY PREROGATIVE (was his 2nd ). Similar 2 what JJ did on Rhythm Nation, that's where he got the concept.
@@juliemcdaniel499 I called My Prerogative his "breakout" song, not his first hit. If you want to get technical, Don't Be Cruel wasn't even his first hit, as this was his SECOND solo album. Brown's first hit was "Girlfriend" off of King of Stage, his first solo album released in 1986. Dont Be Cruel was his second album released in 1988.
Ralph was the lead singer for New Edition but Bobby was definitely the best performer of the group and he sang lead for Mr.Telephone Man and Jealous Girl
That was great! Looked like a rockin’ concert happening! Thanks for another banger Fred and Tim. 💥 Loved your comment at the beginning…. haven’t heard him since way back when we were little kids! 😂 Thanks for the laughs guys!
I’m so glad I’m the right age to have experienced the Bobby Brown phenomenon first hand. I loved him. I had posters of him all over my bedroom wall and saw him in concert twice
You guys definitely should check out the TV show Bobby Brown had with Whitney Houston. It’s called Being Bobby Brown. There are definitely some episodes and clips on TH-cam.
We use to practice softball to his music before our games we were only 11 and 12 year old girls jamming to Bobby Brown I miss those days and I miss the music we had back when I was kid Great reaction love your channel guys ♥️♥️
Bobby Brown is an excellent example of potential wasted. He could have been so much more than he was. When trapped in an addiction, even the best can fail to reach their potential. I hope he comes back, he was good.
I would love to hear your reaction to "Hit Me Off " with all six members of NE. The official video is one of their greatest. Also, "If it isn't Love". Don't forget about 112. Great group. 👍🏼
His wife Whitney Houston use to call him the "Original King of R&B!" And at one point, Bobby really did dominate the male R&B charts with back to back bangers!!!!! PLUS he could sing, dance and rap! So in a way, Whitney was Right! From a Sista from Brooklyn, NY.
Love this song! And I actually really like Britney Spears’ cover of it too (don’t judge me lol). Dunno if you ever heard it (or if you wanna hear it lol)…
Such an incredible song. There will NEVER be another like Bobby Brown. He was a superstar and doesn't get enough credit for what he brought forth. His music was loved by so many people, of all ages, races, and backgrounds. I can't wait to see the documentary coming up about him on the A&E channel in May. Keep your eyes peeled. Loved this reaction! 💖
Wow! the Twin hit it on the head. Rick James was indeed B. Brown's idol. When he sung My Prerogative at one of the Black Music Awards Shows he dedicated it to guess who, Rick James!!!! Awesome that you caught that.
I love Bobby's music. I didn't realize he was with New Edition. Thanks for the info. I loved Rick James, too. Love you guys! Thanks for the uplift always!🙏❤️🙂
This song still hits hard 30 plus years later.
🤞🏾🤞🏾
I always preferred "Humpin' Around" but the beats on "Prerogative" put "HA" to shame.
Truth!
Thats what's called timeless music, the vibe real
@Theomite Humpin Around is one of my favtracks from the Bpbby Brown album also with 2 can play that game
This album was one of the greatest all time. So many hits off this album.

He was one of the leads of NE... Ralph was the primary lead.

Him being too loyal to the group and from what I read his ' nice guy ' style was played out by the time he went solo and he was playing catch up
