Bobby Brown - "My Prerogative" - Live on Arsenio Hall Show

[@markbelkin1303]

I love how Bobby knew the entire choreography routine, would go off and do his Bobby thing, and jump right back into the routine with his two dancers. I remember watching this as a kid and then listening to my Bobby Brown cassette on my walkman right afterwards.

[@michaelbam2939]

You get it right

[@a-train3503]

He was a true professional, serious about his craft, it really showed

[@ericcooper712]

I dont care what you say about Bobby Brown, he's a showman to his heart! Thanks for all the great music!

[@shadowswag55]

Back when you had to develop your talent into something unique. No auto tune, no tricks, no gimmicks. Just hard work. Bobby was and still is cold blooded✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

[@reformer6666]

Emelio Sanders, I always said Bobby was one of the few who can dance and sing at the same time. And his vocals were very good. And NO lip syncing.

[@christianthomas5434]

That's what that coke a do

[@teddyjam8134]

It's not easy to sing and dance at the same time like he just did, and Bobby crushed it! I still remember watching this with my mom and brother when it 1st aired.

[@patriciacampbell7883]

They should rerun Arsenio's show. Must see tv at the time. Better than ANYTHING on tv right now!

Damn!!!! Now that’s entertainment at its finest.

[@gspotstudio]

I'd rather see an artist, just like Bobby here, singin' half the words and running out of breath, while still dancing ,than watch these lipsyncin' phonies with their headset mics any day of the week. Great performance! ENERGY

[@brittlia_]

this is complete greatness! stage presence was unbelievable, wish i could've gotten the chance to see him in person when he was in his prime because this is just incredible!

[@larhondaburchett3271]

The bad boy of R & B!! Hands down NOBODY was f'n with Bobby in his prime. Period!! Dancing, singing, and his stage presence! He REALLLLY knew how to control the crowd/work the crowd. Not standing in 1 place with 50 ppl on the stage yelling into the mic. He gave you a SHOW!!! 97% of today's artists could NEVER perform at this level!

[@drummingdanny84]

The other 3% consist of Bruno Mars, Usher, and, possibly, Chris Brown.

Bobby Brown did his Thang back in the day 's

[@vennettegloud3128]

Bobby was so disciplined...Nobody can deny that!! You can't possibly move like that saturated with chemicals...They say he was a bad boy...maybe so, but i don't believe the true 'bad influence' was him. I think it was the other way around (if you know what I mean)...But he always took the blame anyway..that's true love and knighthood...Not judging, though it is a sickness, either way...God bless Bobby Brown.

[@rhuttrho88]

Everyone said that at the time. I was a kid, but I heard. You know all the women loved her, but they knew the truth. Especially in New York.

[@vennettegloud3128]

Yup, either way, Whitney was a treasure.

Not Only Did They Take Bobby's Style But Took Michael Jackson's as Well. BUT HOLD ON, PEEP THIS...BOBBY NEVER TOOK A JACKSON MOVE... ITS ALL BOBBY!!! Hate The Comment If U like But U Know I'm Right! Bobby Paved The Way For ALOT OF Male Solo Artist With His Style.

[@Valles075]

+pashaun Pride One song dude... U can't touch this..WTF.. One dance move as well. Front foot back..Back foot front...To compare them is crazy. Show me a better performer, with the moves, the skill, the looks, and the energy...BB has yet to be beaten.

[@CleanMusicLover229]

+Valles075 MC Hammer still performed at awards and went platinum after 1993. FYI: Bobby's sex on the stage came from Prince

[@cduba3473]

+Valles075 Hammer definitely had way more hits than "U Can't Touch This" and definitely has a wide repertoire of dance moves. He had stage presence and he definitely had the energy that made you want to get up and dance. One of the best! Along with Bobby.

What a live performance. I imagine turning on the TV in 2013 and seeing a performance like this. It's very difficult to even imagine. How long has it been since you saw a late night audience actually "groove" on a song. Especially with the energy demonstrated here. What top 40 artist of today could match this? I genuinely don't think there is one. Don't say Jay-Z, or Timberlake, or Alicia Keys. They may be popular, but in honesty they couldn't burn down the house like this. Am I wrong?

[@bubbly_princess_8981]

I wish the camera was only focused on Bobby to see his whole performance entirely. I didn’t give a sh*t about the band ! Bobby’s performance was great !
