SPEECHLESS!!! | Bobby Brown performs at 1990 AMA (Reaction) 

That album Don't Be Cruel is one of the best albums ever. Mad hits off it! Don't Be Cruel, My Prerogative, Roni, Rock Wit-Cha, Every Little Step.

I have been a fan since he went solo, regardless of all the drugs and everything he’s been through still a fan because everyone makes mistakes who are we to judge them

Isn’t this the performance where Whitney fell for him? He was the bomb back then.

This is Bobby in his prime! “Back in the Day” was a lot of fun lol, but unfortunately drugs and fast living got the better of him too.

Bobby Brown, MC Hammer, Michael Jackson, Prince, and so many others. The 90's were awesome.

His voice sounds incredible which is amazing considering all that aerobic activity. No one has done it better.

New Edition, Bell Biv Devoe, Ralph Tresvant, Bobby Brown, all great. We all tried to dance like Bobby back in school.

Bobby Brown was the bad boy of New Edition. This was his 1st solo lp. If my memory is right he won another award & won on other music award show This was a platinum lp. with i believe had 6 hit songs. That had us jammin' on roller skates & on the dance floors in the clubs + house parties. Still have the lp. & 3 of the 12" singles.

Not a "boo," but the 90s "woof" - Arsineo style.

Legendary dance moves by Bobby. He was the G.O.A.T. back then. He could out dance anyone. Great 👍 choice.-Patricia

Bobby wasn't no joke! Set a stage on 🔥fire!! My boy!!

Bobby Brown was given the title and rightly so is STILL the KING OF R&B SWING! He was Street cool with R&b SWAG and dancing LONG before USHER, OMARION or CHRIS BROWN. Aside from Michael Jackson or Prince. Bobby Brown was truly the KING OF STAGE. (Hense the title of his first album). You been through alot Bobby. We still remember. Don't ever forget that!

Commented earlier before I had a chance to watch; I had the hots for Bobby Brown HARD 😍 Think of this when you see people in their early 50's; they may have been the shit in their youth!!!!🔥🔥🔥

Bobby at the top of his game right here. My prerogative is my favorite from him 🎯

I remember back in 1989 trying to learn his dance moves to impress a chick I liked, greetings from New Zealand

Bobby Brown could never be washed up babe. He worked hard to be able to rest finally.

for a few years there, he was as good as anyone.

Bobby brown is the king....we will forever love Bobby. He deserves all his flowers

kids, don't do drugs

Bobby Brown did his thang back then for sure

What a waste of talent Bobby could do it all dance, sing & rap! Very charismatic! Ever hear him freestyle? He was guuuud!

I saw Bobby brown live back then. Serious entertainer.

One of the biggest examples of wasted talent. DRUGS

If I remember correctly this is the night Bobby met Whitney. I believe he was sitting behind her and they were flirting then he went on and performed.

Oh yell yeahhhhhhhh. He was hot as hell back in the day and his music just keeps on with that bounce to get your moving. I've never gotten to see this performance til now. Amazing show!

Ok, I HOLLERED @ I'm used to the "old, washed up Bobby Brown." Yeah, he had it going on back then, and I'm a living witness. My high school's band played "My Prerogative" back then and it was fire!! I love your reaction!!

Teez, I love that you are carving out your own lane. I feel like a proud Auntie. I know super nerdy, I'm just proud of you my dude. Real talk.

Bobby Brown the legend. Respect. Imagine seeing him perform at that time. Amazing!!!👍

Yup,yup! And didn't he start the Gumby hairstyle trend? 💙💙🙌🙌

This is the ORIGINAL! r&b bad boy, before any of them, Chris Brown, Jodeci, R Kelly, he was the first to have that street style for a singer. New Edition was straight from the projects, naturally hood, didn't have to fake it, it was just them

Bit flustered watching him move ☺️.

YES YES YES!!! As LL Cool J said in Around The Way Girl "with your New Edition Bobby Brown Button On Your Sleeve". I LOVE Bobby Brown!!!t Great Choice, Harley!! TEEZ: Got to do Bell Biv Devoe's POISON if you haven't heard it already! Teddy Riley was the Originator of this style of music-NEW JACK SWING!!!!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶👍

Bobby Brown is not washed up!! It’s called he has gotten much older. The drugs and alcohol was part of the problem. He was very young in those videos. It’s true that what you do in your youth sometimes will come back to haunt you. He was still one of the very best!!!

Yeah ! Classic late 80,s bangers 👌 🔥

We were all young and had our day, young man. Bobby made the most of his.

Oh yeah, this was at his very best, wish he would have kept at it tho, smdh. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Check out his song Roni, live version!! 😉

Stop it!! Bobby is a legendary Icon...what will you be able to leave behind? You say washed up? Shame on you

Every Little Step best dance video ever!!

Yep Bobby Brown had taken off big time. He even wrote a song for ghost busters 2 and had a cameo in the movie. The music industry loved him, Hollywood loved him. The sky was the limit. And then he got with Whitney. It’s not just a story about how drugs destroy you its a story about when certain people get together they effectively destroy themselves. If he hadn’t of gotten with Whitney he would have been a superstar till this day. Im not saying it’s her fault but I do think when he got with her he went from a social user to addicted. I don’t think that ever would have happened if they hadn’t of gotten together. When some people get together they just create the perfect storm. Once they broke up he was able to kick the habit. I think once he was away from that situation he was able to see clearly in a way he hadn’t since they first got together. Unfortunately it was too late for his career. Too many years had past at that point. But at least he got his life back. As everyone knows Unfortunately Whitney wasnt able to kick her demons

Bobby worked it good!! I loved me some Bobby!!

He was every thing!!! Still my favorite 😍

React to MC Hammer. He too another crazy dancer

80s and 90s were the best!! Best performers, dancers

SO glad u reacted to this dawg!!! Amazing video and one of the greats

Whitney didn’t marry him for nothing!!!

Wow what a find!! I searched this, not as a reaction, and found your reaction!! I watched this live and it was one of the most memorable AMA's because of this performance. At the next school dance we had after this broadcast we were all trying to do our best rendition of this performance. Pure gold.

Going back, on top of what I said earlier about how on fire he was back then: during the beginning of the healing part of my divorce I was in the grocery store as totally randomly My Prerogative jumped into my head and immediately I was bobbing around happy with an attitude shopping for groceries - to include the fitting spirit of NGAF about people seeing me singing this low and dancing to myself pushing the cart hahahahahaha.

He could sure move!

Some burst on the scene he exploded. You were not going to miss him. I was a New Addition fan as a child and Bobby /BBD fan as a teen.

Yeah, everything you said! Love this whole album & the moves, my gosh the moves :)

King of new Jack swing. He will never be washed up in my eyes 😍. He will always be the fly guy I loved as a little girl.😘fan for life

BB went through hard times he redeemed himself love him hog bless bbb

Foundational Black American FBA that's how we do it

Bobby was and will never be washed out

He’s amazing I’m so mad I didn’t grow up In that generation by the time I was born usher was the man, but you gotta check out 93’s AMA’s Bobby cost hosted it, performed and won an award over MJ which was a very rare sight to see back then when Michael or prince was on the polls usually no one beats them but Bobby took it that night, sadly after the early part of 93 the most he was doing was touring on his Humpin around tour which was mega hit tour from the 92 album he released after 4 years of don’t be cruel because he fully toured on don’t be cruel for 4 years and then release his 3rd album in 92 and tour on the self entitled name of it called “Bobby” the thing with that album was it had marked the end of his era and the new Jack swing era as a whole, all the artist that making hits from 88-91 new Jack swing artist their next albums flopped expected Janet and Michael, when it came to Bobby’s next album it didn’t flopped but in comparison to dont be cruel it didn’t add up at all, although he had an amazing tour and was still able to have hits on the billboard and then years later the song “two can play that game” was later remixed into a house beat song because was becoming popular so while Bobby was getting off drugs and wasn’t making music he still had a hit outside of the U.S. in 95 and that song came out in damn 92 alsoooooo, don’t be cruel came out in 88 and didn’t stop selling till 95 as well so that proves that Bobby was that mannn he was a legend regardless I wish he had more guidance otherwise then that the same praise people give that monster Rkelly they would’ve gave to Bobby, I’m still teambobby

Bobby Brown was is awesome

Who you prefer, Bobby Brown or Bell Biv DeVoe?

❤❤😊

Bobby Brown was originally in New Edition which spawned Bel Biv Devoe and all together and solo produced a ton of great music back in the day. Poison, Do Me, Run. Also good to check out from that era is Boys to Men and Tony Toni Tone. Great era for hip hop and funk. It REALLY needs to come back. We lived on the dance floor to this stuff.
