Well I grew up dancin 2 that damn song with my brother and cousin religiously serving Bobby Brown

When i see sum dump remake of a song that i am fond of (and have heard many -a - plenty of times) just makes me wanna strangle her! Hoe dare she? Make ya own damn shit.

You damn straight. I couldn't said it any better myself. It should be a crime against non-talented hoes making remakes of classic jams

And what really makes it bad is that she samples some of Bobby Brown vocals in the song. I hate to say it but that ho has issues.

whateva, treva...she did bobby a favor by covering the song. at least now he'll get paid a little and stop smoking all of whitney's money away.

SassyBritches said:

UH...if anyone is getting money from this remake, it's Bobby's new crack dealer!

"you can't front on that!!!"

VoicesCarry said:

Right. The b-side will be "Hey Joe."

with all of this bobby v. britney stuff, it got me thinkin'...how many successful (commercially speaking) solo releases did bobby brown have?

Thunderbird said:

boby's "my prerogative" is hardly "what's goin' on" or "hey joe"...its just another silly pop song covered by another silly pop star. nothing more, nothing less.

My roommate just brought this "rap" to my attention. I can't really understand what she is saying and I can't stop laughing...is this an early Britney thing or more recent?

She could have covered "Leave Me Alone."

SassyBritches said:

In case you hadn't noticed, she's already covered "I Love Rock 'N Roll" and "Satisfaction". She does one shitty cover of a classic song per record, so I can only say it must be leading up to something.

Wow that list brings back so many memories. Teddy Riley laid down those beats for real. I have a couple of B. Browns performances on tape (AMA's Soul Train Awards) Ive seen him in concert back in the day with NE, Al B Sure, and Keith Sweat and trust Bobby put on a show!!! Tender Roni live whew!!! He was on top for a moment. I've heard a piece of the Britney remake and just hearing that piece, it's really disappointing to hear that she covered that song. That song was the jam back in the day. And the funny thing is alot of the folks who follow her will think that she's put out an "original". She'll sell millions though, for a below average vocal performance! That's how things go!

VoicesCarry said:

yeah, she might wanna stay away from the stones. though, have you heard them sing any of their songs recently? its almost just as bad!

Her minions are already paying $50+ for a 1-track My Prerogative promo on eBay.

Thunderbird said:

i bet she'd be able to pull that one off too.

SassyBritches said:

She should do us all a favour and stay away from the mic altogether.

SassyBritches said:

I know, maybe Britney should cover an Aretha Franklin song or even better, a Billie Holiday song. That would be soooo cool! (choke)

Britney is a classic case of child star who grew up, lost their vocal talent during adolescence - she sang on Broadway and was actually decent on Star Search. But then something happened, and once puberty hit, she is like oh i guess i'll rely on my boobs since my singing sucks ass. And some dumbass gave her a record deal and now we all have to suffer hearing about her, not to mention the hearing OF her actual singing.I mean what IS that exactly? Breathing heavy and hung over sounding talking that is supposed to be singing? At least Madonna once discovered took voice lessons and TRIED to improve herself so she could put on a good show, or attempt to. Britney thinks she is the next Madonna, but it is like-what has she really done? Except following up on the shock value. At least with say Christina Aguilera, she can be wild, but damn has she got a voice!

VoicesCarry said:

you forgot The Beat Goes On... a classic sonny and cher song

I dig it,it shall grow on me like toxic did.

leo11 said:

yeah, and when millions of her records fly off the shelves it is all because of her boobs. especially since a large portion of her fanbase is made up of gay men.

cnutty77 said:

I agree 100% on this one b/c I was Bobby B and New Edition Fan from wayback.

Bobby's music is still the jam.

In case you didn't notice, Usher IS GETTING WORSE than Bobby Brown now...ego-wise.....

agotajonesmartha said:

Agreed. His level of energy and showmanship has went down the .

I still have a couple of vhs's of Bobby, one of them "his perogative" (a video collection of his first 2 albums) has him interviewed saying he will never do drugs.....makes me sad when he says that! Video ends with a great live performance of "my perogative".....Bobby really was "king of stage"....hehe!



Bobby's follow up ("bobby"-1992) was decent too, if l little too long and slick 4 some.....plus it came out too late and the NewJack craze was almost over.....good record though!

As for "Forever"? I do have it but have not played it since I got it many years ago! Have to hear it again, but I was very dissaponted at the time! His presence on "home again" was definately a good one though!

so i just saw the video on vh1, in its entirety (no pissy online streams), and i must say i really don't like it. its just very boring. there's nothing especially fun to watch unlike the video for toxic.

SassyBritches said:

Get yo behind out of here, like her video for "My perogative" was fun.

thesexofit said:

FOREVER is excellent! You should give it another try..that record has plenty of bangin' songs ....e.g."Feelin' Inside", "My Place", "Happy Days", "Sunday Afternoon"...even in 2004 the album sounds fresh as ever!!!!!
