Bobby Brown - Greatest Hits

Amazon.com
Many greatest hits packages are a nifty way of making a quick buck off of fans' devotion, so let's put this particular offering in perspective. First off, ex-New Edition frontman Bobby Brown put out one certified fabulous record, 1988's landmark Don't Be Cruel. After that he released a few OK singles (most notably "On Our Own," which is included in this collection). His songs produced prior to 1988 (with the exception, of course, of his years with New Edition) were decent but strictly mainstream. Nothing compared to Brown and Teddy Riley's "new jack swing," the beat of the 80's. With that caveat, if you absolutely need to hear "Humping Around" or Bobby's duet with wifey Whitney Houston, "Something In Common," then by all means buy this. Yet smart money would suggest that perhaps just buying Don't Be Cruel and digging the sublime "Every Little Step" again would not only be more cost-effective, but also easier on the ears. --Amy Linden

Take Control.......2006-02-01

It takes you back to the days when Bobby Brown was the Prince of R&B. Enjoyed signing and attempting to dance like Bobby Brown.

Excellent greatest hits album from Bobby Brown!.......2004-09-08

I don't think about his recent problems--I'd rather listen to his music. This greatest hits album just shows Bobby Brown at his best! A lot of the songs are so funky--Don't Be Cruel, Every Little Step, Humpin Around, That's the Way Love Is(funkiest of Bobby's songs),My Prerogative, Get Away, She Ain't Worth It--that you will be already sweat after the funky beats end. He had some nice ballads in Roni and Rock Wit'Cha and Girlfriend. And I liked his duet with Whitney Houston on the danceable Something in Common. Brown's bad boy persona just matched well to the heavy funk of his music. Strong energy for much of the CD's 63 minutes!!!!!

if you love bobby you'll love this.......2003-10-19

I remember when b brown was the man if whitney said he was the king back in 89 few would have disagreed but bobby is smoked out right now bless his soul but for those who wanna know how good he was check this out.

Features all his hits........2002-07-28

This album features all his top ten hits. Unfortunatley this album got very little press and did very poorly on the sales charts actually it didn't even chart but Bobby Brown has dissapeared from the scene and now New Edition wants to reunite AGAIN and wants him if I were him I wouldn't join. This album features the number 1 hits "My Prerogative" and "She Ain't Worth It". I recommend this album to the Bobby Brown fan but if you are you already have all these songs but if you're not this is the only album you'll need.

Bobby Brown - the Glory Years.......2002-06-13

It's difficult to remember that Bobby Brown had a strong presence on the charts some dozen years ago. Say what you will about Brown (his run-ins with the law, his stormy marriage to Whitney), the truth of the matter is, this brutha had some slammin' jams back in the day. Bobby Brown benefited from the New Jack Swing craze more than any other artist, thanks to his collaborations mainly with Teddy Riley and Babyface. His signature hit "My Preoragtive," the ballad "Roni," and the catchy "Two Can Play That Game" show Brown in top form. True, he's not a very good singer, but he makes the most of what he has, and he does it well. Brown hasn't made so much of a ripple for much of the 1990s, but this great hits collection is a reminder of those glory years when he ruled the charts.
