When Whitney Houston Called Bobby Brown the Original R&B King

 

They thought it was ridiculous when Whitney Houston called her husband the original R&B King. They thought Whitney had bumped her head, Well, maybe he was to her, and she knew what Bobby could do. She lived with him, and she knew about singing. When it comes to music, there are many kings and queens in their own way. In my opinion, Bobby Brown was the Hip Hop R&B King at the time if not R&B King. 

Whitney knew Bobby more than any critic, and I don’t think she was really wrong about Bobby. She knew what he had in him. After all, Bobby was her husband. I don’t know if he ever sang songs to her when they were alone. I’m sure Whitney knew some things about Bobby the critics didn’t know. Whitney had been around voices and talent all of her life. She also had good sense when she wanted to have it. Maybe sometimes they saw her acting a little crazy, but Whitney had sense.

When Whitney called Bobby Brown the original R&B king, maybe she saw that he could be. Maybe she could see that he had that in him when nobody else could. She might have been a little right about it considering how well he sang Ain’t No Sunshine on the show Masked Singer. Bobby sang like he never sang before. He sang from his heart and soul. He sang with feeling.

Whitney Houston Called Him the Original R&B King

The instant I heard Bobby Brown sing the first words of Ain’t No Sunshine, I knew it was the song for him and his voice. He really sang from the heart. Out of all the years I’ve heard him sing, hearing him sing Ain’t No Sunshine really made me listen to him the most. Bill Withers sang it well, but there was just something about Bobby’s voice that made the song  sound so touching. It all goes back to what Whitney Houston said. She called Bobby the original R&B King. She was married to him and knew him. There was nothing wrong and nothing weird about what Whitney said. 

It’s Good That Whitney Tried To Stand By Her Man

It’s good that Whitney Houston tried to stand by her man. She could have just given up early, divorced, and got married to someone else. In God’s sight, Bobby Brown would have always been her husband even if there would have been marriage to someone else. Maybe Bobby and Whitney started out trying to keep their marriage vows to God. After all, Whitney was a church lady and had church upbringing. However, when Whitney and Bobby divorced, God understood. He does not want two people together in misery and pain. God loves his sons and daughters. The Lord knows that there are things in life that can be too much for us to bare. God never intended for a man to leave his wife but he allowed divorce.

Deut. 24 Bill of divorcement …

Luke 16:18 - Whosoever putteth away his wife …

Matt. 5:32 - Saving the cause of fornication …

And there are more verses found.

Both Bobby and Whitney Dealt with Drugs Before Marriage

YouTube

 Why didn't the media and documentaries and ect. just come on out and say that both Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston both were doing drugs before marriage? That would have cleared up the false statement about Bobby Brown introducing Whitney to drugs altogether. It would have explained both sides.They told the part about how Whitney was already doing drugs and never told the part about Bobby doing them too before he met Whitney. That gave people room to make Bobby Brown look good and Whitney Houston look bad by herself. They both were doing drugs. People tell what they want to tell and leave out the things they want to leave out. Now that we know both Whitney and Bobby have dealt with drugs before they were married, we can see more of a clearer picture on things. 

ABC Chris Connelly told how drugs were thrown on stage to Bobby Brown in a performance on stage. It appeared to be a 1989 performance according to the video. People were saying that Bobby was the bad boy. Well, they weren't saying it for nothing. Whitney didn't appear to be doing anything to mess up her image and career until she got married to Bobby and started having problems in her marriage. If there were problems before then, we couldn't tell. You could see troubles on her face a lot when she got married. Every eye is not shut and every shut eye is not asleep. 

Whitney, Bobby, and The Group Sunday on 106 and Park 2000

YouTube

Do you remember when Whitney and Bobby were on BET's 106 & Park 2000 with AJ and Free? I don't. I was probably worried about my mom during that time and her sickness and didn't watch television as much. Thanks to YouTube and all of the people that post videos, I can see the things I've missed.

It looks as though Whitney and Bobby were planning to do big things together and appeared on BET's network number 1 rated show. There may have been bad times, but it appeared that there were good times for Whit and Bob. I wish that Whitney had stayed alive, and I wish that she and Bobby could have stayed happily married.

If only they could have worked things out and kept on doing things together, but life goes on. Sometimes I feel sad that things happened the way it did.  I feel sad that Bobby lost his daughter. Not only that, but I feel sad for me too when I lost my mom. I can totally understand their situation, but something tells me to be of good cheer. When bad things happen, you got to keep moving.

Whitney and Bobby looked like a fun couple when you saw them doing things together. They brought the group Sunday who were from Newark on BET and introduced them.

Married Couples_Bobby Brings Whitney a Glass of Water

From YouTube

Staged or not, I loved it when Bobby brought a glass of water to Whitney and wiped the sweat off of her face. It's good to see things like that from married couples. Married couples should do things like that for one another always. It's something I myself do not see a lot after people get married. Wives become house wives it seems and that's it. Men become husbands that complain they are tired all of the time. I enjoyed seeing Whitney's performance and seeing Bobby with her.

Whitney Houston's B-Day Party of 1989

From YouTube

From YouTube

It was 1989 that Whitney had a big party on her birthday. I do not remember it at all. I never saw it pronounced on The Insider.  Well somebody did see it (deminoravideos), and it was nice that the video is shared on YouTube.

Bobby Brown was invited to Whitney's party.   No matter what kind of person Bobby was, Whitney recognized him. They were friends and seemed happier in those days. Whitney chose others as her friends like El Debarge, Isaiah Thomas, and Ashford and Simpson. These are good folks. People want to know why Whitney chose Bobby in her life. Well, at first, maybe she made a difference in his life by choosing him as a friend. As a friend, maybe Bobby made a difference in Whitney's life. It looks like he spent time with her. That's the kind of man Whitney looked like she needed. Maybe that's why Whitney married Bobby. Maybe their lives became complicated as entertainers when they got married.

My mother use to warn me about things that could happen in a marriage. She told me that there was sometimes competition in marriages and envy. I think the things that might have happened in Whitney and Bobby's marriage was normal like any other marriage.  You can be the greatest entertainer, but being a human being will never go away. There will still be ups and downs, disagreements, break-ups, and make-ups. That's just a part of life.  However, love should keep people together, but marriage is not for everyone.

Looking back at Whitney's party is a good memory. It was something new for me to see because it was my first time seeing it today.

Whitney and Bobby Brown

From Bobby Brown's Video Feelin' Inside

You might be wondering why I never write anything about Bobby Brown. Well, to tell you the truth, I really don't know what to say about him. When you think you know the celebrities, you really don't. All I know, and this is no joke, Whitney shook up the world when she chose to marry Bobby. I thought to myself, " I was way off about Whitney's taste in men." I looked at my mother and said, "Ma! Guess who Whitney Houston is going to marry!"

My mom asked, "Who?"

I said, "Bobby Brown! I can't believe it! Why would she want to marry him?  What does she see. I can't see it."

My mother said, "I don't know. Well, that's who she wants to marry. She see something good in him, I guess."

One of my friends from high school called Whitney champagne and said Bobby Brown was like beer. Everybody had a way to describe Whitney and Bobby being together back then. However, I began to notice that Whitney was so happy. Whitney and Bobby really looked like they loved each other. I was kind of getting use to seeing them together. I was starting to think differently about Bobby. Then I heard that Whitney was having a child by him. I thought, "Maybe he's not that bad."

People said that Bobby was a bad boy. I couldn't tell what his image was anymore. To be honest, I don't know him at all. I didn't know Whitney either because I never thought she would marry Bobby Brown. They were everywhere together and always together it seemed. They even performed together, and I enjoyed that.

This is just an old memory of mine in 1992. That's the year Bobby and Whitney got married. I watched them with my mother.

Now it is 2012.  I spend time with my father since my mother is gone. We were looking at Whitney and Bobby dance together in her concert performing at Constitution Hall, Washington D.C. My father said, "They look like they were doing great together. They should have kept on doing things together like that."
