Drugs or no drugs don't act like y'all wouldn't have enjoyed the show if u were there. it's impossible. Plus he didn't miss a beat & adlib some of his own moves in the show. He didn't fall off stage when he was hella close (1:51-1:53) didn't FORGET the lyrics, & he got involved with the crowd. & y'all talk about live vocals when singers sound like this every night SOBER or otherwise. This man was ahead of the curb. #KINGOFSTAGE #AREYOUNOTENTERTAINED
Mind you he just turned 21 in this video. A year prior he was on the AMA's not running out of breath, dancing his ass off and singing live and on key. Didn' t break a sweat! It's amazing what a difference a year can make when you're using substances. Still a big fan though. New Jack King!
What ever drugs, jewelry , he ok now, no man is without flaws, but the fact he's still here ,appear to be good, it's common in celebrity world, , but to survive is key
Thank you!!!!!! Exactly Some people so quick to judge and live for other people's down falls..Praying for someone's setbacks in life is truly sad. Try spreading positivity. We all know the story by now sooooooo let's move forward. Congrats to The King of R&B for continuing to strive and come out a survivor
He was high on adrenaline from his passion for dancing and singing! The man did that thing and was phenomenal at it. His energy was beautiful!! Still love Bobby!!!!!!
Well I read the last 10 comments.. More concerned with what he dropped, than what he actually dropped.... Like everyone didnt have something in their pockets.. The guy owned the stage. the crowd and the tv camera's... Gimme the fake s*it of now or a guy dropping a bag, but doing it for real.... Charisma, appeal, just down right trying your heart out... I love this guy, and I love this song. Live foREVer BB.
Bobby was 1 sexy, talented, black, trend setting, hard working, energetic man...Lord have mercy. His life was on front street because duhh he was famous. Drugs happened and so what???!! He fought his way back and that's what matters... Imagine alot of our lives being at the exposure of the paparazzi...Lol Easy to say what you would have done when you wasn't there and didnt walk in his shoes...How about congratulations to this man for fighting his way (finally) out of addiction. Stay blessed
This age in music, you KNOW they arent lip syncing, cuz when they stop singing, there is CLEAR silence when you know there should be words!!! Screw the new age shit, Old schools the way to go!!
I love this song....one of my favs by Bobby Brown! I don't have anything negative to say about him. He owned that stage! Great performance, tired & all! You'd be out of breath too! He danced his ass off & still sung LIVE...unlike a lot of these lip singing auto tune singers today! Half of these new singers can't sing in or out the studio....On or off drugs!!! If it wasn't for the producers and computers they wouldn't have a hit! Dont even write their own music...Bobby came up with these lyrics while he was fuckin (and probably was high on top of that) and it's still a dope track til this day!!! Timeless! Idc what nobody has to say...the nostalgic feelings I get from watching/hearing r&b from this era makes me feel good! Like, I'm literally about to watch this again! I miss my childhood & I miss good music!
He never denied doing drugs , but during this performance he admitted that's what it was still doesn't dispute the fact he probably got high before the performance#He still did a excellent job
@@nequaishalawrence4624 to be fair nearly ever performer probably takes drugs before they hit the stage they just never really admit it till its too late and did he actually say it was his watch or ya'll just guessing
this is a perfect example of dancing like a demon but losing the ability to sing too from being so damn blown. Those who can do it, are insane talents! Bobby didn't know how to balance being able to keep up his voice with his hips. Lol

of course it will be hes dancing his ass off and trying to sing LIVE at the same time so yeah the vocal will not be great its not that easy to sing and dance
Bobby said that was his watch he dropped in an interview. The quality of the video makes it hard to zoom in and see if it was his watch. I honestly still feel it was bag of cocaine lol. Either way this man was high on stage regardless lol
Josias is right, Michael Jackson could barely make it through 3 songs without losing breath, unless we're talking about the Bad world Tour, which he sang live for the most part. Any other tour he would lip sync after he did the Jackson 5 medley, because he would lose breath. Bobby makes up for it by his kick-ass dance moves, and the fact he had the cajones to pick up a bag of (possibly) crack in the middle and not even hide it. No drop down moves or nothing, just snatch and go!
5aq bullshit. You've never seen Michael when he was a teen and young adult in the Jacksons. Danced hard and never ran outta breath. I've never heard him outta breath like Bobby was here (and I like Bobby) even when he was singing live as a solo artist. Show me ANY LIVE PERFORMANCE of Mike being outta breath like this?! you can't show me because it does not exist. You are a damn lie. Don't ever come for the king!
He dropped something , I think it was his watch or jewelry, of some kind, dude was dapper, always. he was & is so much more than, 8 ball, drugs etc. .. whatever, HELLA TALENTED TO ME, BROWN FOR LIFE BABY!!!!
OK SO WHAT IF IT WAS DRUGS, EVERYBODY KNOWS DRUGS WAS SUCH A PART OF ENTERTAINMENT , AGREE OR NOT, THE THING IS IF YOU OVERCOME IT, YOU DON'T LET IT OVER TAKE YOU , STILL BOBBY B. DID HIS DAMN THING ON THAT STAGE AYYYYYY😎
Thanks for noting that. I had taped the 1990 MTV music video awards when it played (in 1990) and I never saw this performance before so I figured it had to be a the 89 awards or something.
How many superstars werent on drugs? Bobby had the late 80's and early 90's on LOCK!!!! Respect that man's talent.
@Crawfishblacc what?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Never knew how recreational crack was in the 90’s until my dad filled me in
Drugs or no drugs don't act like y'all wouldn't have enjoyed the show if u were there. it's impossible. Plus he didn't miss a beat & adlib some of his own moves in the show.

i dont understand why people dont want to give bobby his props!!!!!! he reached god like status in the 80's and early 90's!!!!!!
Great performer had everyone having a great time enough said true talent
He brought a whole fun vibe with him into the building , the man was something else in those days . Boy o boy could he dance ..... Wow !!!!!
Bobby Brown = New jack swing.
Boy you need to stop drugs don’t do drugs kids
Mind you he just turned 21 in this video. A year prior he was on the AMA's not running out of breath, dancing his ass off and singing live and on key. Didn' t break a sweat! It's amazing what a difference a year can make when you're using substances. Still a big fan though. New Jack King!
teri b a year prior....he was still using bro! Still the best Rnb entertainer I've seen live. EASILY.
Bobby is still GOAT🏆
No this came out in 89 he was 20
Dide your soo rite he said his first time trying coke was his 21st in 1990
Bobby so young and energetic.
Coughs :Cocaine
Must be all that vitamin c

I bet his dancer's was like look at this high mutha fucka.
This is actually September 1989.
Damn man, that gumby.... LEGEND
Yeah the gumby haircut was very popular and his trademark. Lol love me some Bobby B
Other than the obvious Michael Jackson. No one to this day September 2010 has this much energy on stage. He was my favorite to see in concert!!!
Love Bobby. But it's amazing what a little nose candy can do for that energy. 😂
Wow, what energy. Nobody back in da day could move like Bobby Brown!
This is pure 90s.
Like, literally.
Literally 89
Live... Ain't faking shit!! Mad props!!
What ever drugs, jewelry , he ok now, no man is without flaws, but the fact he's still here ,appear to be good, it's common in celebrity world, , but to survive is key
He said it in a interview. It was drugs.
Thank you!!!!!! Exactly

@@jearl3054 no in interview he said watch pop off
@@sterlingyoung2110 You are 100% correct. I should have written: He said it in a interview, it was NOT drugs.
He was high on adrenaline from his passion for dancing and singing! The man did that thing and was phenomenal at it. His energy was beautiful!! Still love Bobby!!!!!!
Bobby had the early 90s on lock!!

Amen!
I looooove this song and Bobbayyy can perform his ass off
His music is so good we still jam to it at the rinks.
Give bobby his props great talent had everyone in great mood enough said
Moving his butt off. Like how he turns, and the wide steps.
This age in music, you KNOW they arent lip syncing, cuz when they stop singing, there is CLEAR silence when you know there should be words!!! Screw the new age shit, Old schools the way to go!!
He is best end world from 1980 to 1992
that rock got him acting a fool lol
:50 that spin they did at the same time was sick, he was out of breathe from dancing lol
Had the crowd going nutsz
My Favorite Bobby Song-On Our Own!
Try To Battle My Boys- That's Not Legal!
What an entertainer!!!! He captivated the audience in every performance
gotta give it to him though, he put on one hell of a show, entertaining
Drugs or no drugs, he was on top of his game here. Takes big balls to go full live.
Dope! Literally..
He dropped his 8 ball during the performance lol what the

His voice is on point 👈💯💯💯💯
Still find it funny when he stops to pick up his drugs like he could’ve left it in the back or something lmfao

You dumb😂
[LYRICS]
“If want something done, gotta do it yourself
Yeah, I think this is gonna be another one of those funky ones
Heart & soul, da da dance
If I was you, and you were me, you'd wanna be winnin'
If you want somethin' bad, yo, you gotta wanna give your all
'Cause I believe so much in we and no we're not kiddin'
If you feel the same as me, yo, you gotta want to take the ball
Now I found out that nothin' is given
Don't know where the cards may fall
All I know is that we've gotta get it
We've gotta make it on our own
Well I guess we're gonna have to take control
(All on our own)
If it's up to us, we've got to take it home
(All on our own)
Now can't you see that all we need to be a go getter
Gotta make your own decisions, you gotta go for what you know
It comes a time in our lives, you wanna be bigger
Gotta keep keep on pushing, you gotta learn to take control, yeah
Now I found out that nothin' is given
Don't know where the cards may fall
All I know is that we've gotta get it
We've gotta make it on our own
Well I guess we're gonna have to take control
(All on our own)
If it's up to us, we've got to take it home
(All on our own)
Gotta, gotta, take it home, gotta, gotta, gotta take it home
Heart & soul, da da dance
Too hot to handle, too cold to hold
They're called the Ghost busters and they're in control
Had 'em throwin' a party for a bunch of children
While all of the while the slime was under the building
So they packed up their group, got a grip, came equipped
Grabbed they Proton packs off their back and they split
Found about Vigo, the master of evil
Try to battle my boys? That's not legal
(Oh-we-oh)
They're in control
(Oh-we-oh)
Ya ya ya know it
(All on our own)
I said, they're in control
(Oh-we-oh)
Ya ya ya know it
(Oh-we-oh)
Ya ya ya know it

@@dereks7745 🤣🤣 I love bobby but I think it's still coke.
@@nlee4566 if you slow it to .25 at like 1:11-1:14 you can see his watch fly off his hand. There’s also a better quality version of this video
@Brady2k10 u know how hard it is to dance and sing like that? come on son!
Classic performance!
Bobby was a cold brother no lip syncing
We have been talking about that ever since this aired in 1989!!! LOL!!!

HE TORE IT UP , LITTERLY
lmao he was smooth when he put the coke back in his pocket.
Here he looks like when he sang Mr telephone man in the original vid
He dropped something , I think it was his watch or jewelry, of some kind, dude was dapper, always. he was & is so much more than, 8 ball, drugs etc. .. whatever, HELLA TALENTED TO ME, BROWN FOR LIFE BABY!!!!

It was drugs...not jewelry. And this performance was god awful. Dancing like he's having a spastic seizure while talking the lyrics.
@@chasenip2 He said that it was his rolex on his wrist in the breakfast club rbrm interview why would he have coke in his pocket it my melt
He killed diz 💯💯💯💯💯💯
03:25 He just leaves that girl hanging.
He was a dancin ass! Damn I miss those days
wtf this song deserves more views
Great, Hard Hitting song ... but this performance gets a C-- at best. Watch the Official Video anytime over this ....
RIP Bobby we miss you
Thanks for noting that. I had taped the 1990 MTV music video awards when it played (in 1990) and I never saw this performance before so I figured it had to be a the 89 awards or something.
he was on some good shit that night
hez good
He dropped his Coke bag and picked it up
Good song
Still the best!!!!
Too hot to handle, to cold to hold, he’s on cocaine but still has control!
🤣
was that a sack he picked up on stage 1:17
Before the auto-tuner, I guess. All props to him, of course.
Joseph Wagner Sobison I agree! Most singers sound terrible live without the recording equipment to make them sound perfect!
If he stays free of drugs like that, keep his good health even today he kept his success as Mj
oh! thanks
If you want something badger, you're gonna have to take it all...
Listen to bobby at 3:58 wow
