"You said she wasn't so innocent, that's exactly where you are wrong. She was that innocent and that is why she was so easilly led down the path of destruction. He fed her drugs, he destroyed her will, he destroyed her"

I don't believe miss Whitney was anything else but a WILLING participant. She was not a naive you child when they met, but a grown woman, with her own mind and able to make her own decisions and choices. I have made choices in my past I regret and I blame no other than myself and we should blame Whitney's choices on no other than herself.

I know someone who was on the cruise ship that Bobby and Whitney were on for their honeymoon, I think it was. And they just adored Bobby. Thought he was the nicest guy. They were not so kind about Whitney.

My opinion of Whitney changed the night we saw her in concert. Paid $75 to see her. Right before the show started, the audience was informed that the air conditioning would not be turned on due to Whit's "throat condition". It wasn't too bad for us as we were on the floor, 10th row, but for the people in 2nd and 3rd level, it was horrible. I'll never give another dime to put in her bank account.

Yes, she has incredible talent, that is what makes what she has done to herself that much worse. No one here has ever said that she was not talented.

I am disappointed in what Whitney has done to herself and feel cheated out of enjoying one of the great talents of my generation. I hope she manages to pull herself together.

No I'm not going to cite myself. I'm not a newspaper. But I remember when it happened because I've always been a fan and liked her music. But that doesn't blind me to the fact that she's not this classy person she portrays.

Ddr, it's really common for singers to have the air turned off during their performances. I know Auntie Ree will NOT perform in ari conditioning and neither will Aunt Barbra. They say the dry air wreaks havoc on the vocal chords.

I agree with Mocha, Sunrvrose.

No one marries a bad boy without the thirst for bad boy behavior.

Sure, Whitney was this cutesy, teeny bopper, seventeen magazine model, way back when. But people grow up. What got me the most about Whitney was her music. Not that she doesn't have talent, because she does, but it was her song choices I didn't agree with. Do you remember her song "saving all my love". Do we all remember what that song was about. Then she goes and sings a song about children being the future. To me, it was contradictory. Lets uphold children, but let's be homewreckers too.

That may be beside the point, but I wanted to get it off of my chest.

Now, my guess is that when she started to get really famous, her true colors started to really show, she wanted to break away from this gospel singing poster child, and into a wild, rebellious, young woman. Along with that need, she married a bad boy.

The other thing I do think is good, is that they have made this marriage work through so many trials and tribulations, and that must be real love.

In the back of my mind, I can't help but picture all this being like an episode of Absolutely Fabulous. Bobbi Kristina plays the level headed daughter who has to take care of her mother and her mother's friend while they party, drink and drug it up.

How old is Bobbi Kristina now? From my DVR guide it looks like a whole bunch of episodes air all at once or they sure repeat the first episode a bunch ..

Loved it when Edina was trying to peek down the stairs on her birthday and slid down the stairway and banged her head on the wall. It was my favorite scene of AbFab!

Houston, you have a problem: Bobby Brown reality series provides a window on a nightmare
By Mark A. Perigard
Wednesday, June 29, 2005 - Updated: 08:52 AM EST

If Bobby Brown is hauled into court again, his defense attorneys should make his reality series ``Being Bobby Brown'' defense exhibit A.

It offers the best reason why the r & b singer from Roxbury should not be incarcerated: Every day Brown is free is one less day the rest of the world has to risk an encounter with his wife, Whitney Houston.

The reality series debuting on Bravo tomorrow at 10 p.m. (an additional episode follows at 10:30) is ostensibly about Brown's attempts to rebuild his career after numerous run-ins with the law regarding everything from missed child support payments to battery on Houston.

But his relationship with Houston is front and center - it's the reason why anyone who tunes in will become trapped in the drama of his life.

Scary? Let's just say we see a line of Whitney Houston costumes available for Halloween.

``We live hard, play hard and laugh hard - and try to stay out of Whitney's way the best we can,'' Brown says.

Houston seems to enjoy a love-hate relationship with the rest of the world. She loves herself and hates the world.

In the first two episodes available for review, she breaks out in spontaneous song and dance with her husband in public spots such as a hotel lobby, then becomes irritated when she is recognized by the public. She attends a busy water park with her family, then becomes angry when fans ask for a picture.

She launches into bizarre conversations that cannot be printed here. Let's leave it as this: They have to do with bodily functions and describe a stunt you'd never see on ``Fear Factor.''

``That's love,'' Brown says.

In the second episode, Houston accompanies Brown to a Georgia courthouse where he faces misdemeanor charges for allegedly striking his wife. (Houston dropped the charges but we're told the state insists on prosecuting Brown.) Frankly, after watching her here, it is hard to imagine Houston being anyone's victim.

Brown refers to her as ``my queen'' and seems simply besotted being in her presence. At its best - or creepiest - ``Being Bobby Brown'' reminds us that marriage is a mystery, often most for the people sharing one.

Bobby Brown jokes with his daughter, La Princia, during the new reality show, 'Being Bobby Brown.'

Thanks, Mocha! I knew she had to be older than my memory of her as this little kid in someone's arms, but a teenager! Yikes!

Heck, I may have to watch this

Alrighty then ...

‘Being Bobby Brown’ is disgusting
Crude comments, insufferable ego drag show down

REVIEW
By Barry Garron
Hollywood Reporter
Updated: 6:49 p.m. ET June 29, 2005

LOS ANGELES - There’s no point beating around the bush. “Being Bobby Brown,” the reality show spotlighting the R&B singer whose rap sheet might be longer than his catalog, is undoubtedly the most disgusting and execrable series ever to ooze its way onto television.

And when you consider the competition from the celebrity reality genre alone, that’s says something.

What gives “Bobby” that dismal distinction?

Is it the lionizing of a lowlife convicted of failing to pay child support for his out-of-wedlock kids, drunk driving and a cocaine-related parole violation? (And let’s not forget his spousal “slap-boxing” arrest.) Is it his insufferable ego (he calls his son, Bobby Jr., “special to me because he carries my name”)? Is it his constant crude comments (he tells wife Whitney Houston to “bring that ass in quick. I’m going to show you what I’m going to do with it.”)? Or is it just his disgusting persona as, in the second episode, he speaks of removing excrement from his wife’s derriere? (No, I’m not going to quote him.)

It’s all that, and then some. If the eight-part series was intended to improve Brown’s image, it fails miserably.

Not only does it reveal Brown to be even more vulgar than the tabloids suggest, but it manages at the same time to rob Houston of any last shreds of dignity. She alternately shies from the camera and performs for them.

At one point, she asks the offscreen crew of this so-called reality show, “What are we supposed to be doing here?” It’s also a question for anyone who tunes in.

it's not even sounding like a good train wreck.....


Bravo's Being Bobby Brown debuts tonight

Bravo’s most-anticipated show of the summer, Being Bobby Brown, debuts tonight at 10 p.m. ET. The series “follows Brown, his wife, pop superstar Whitney Houston and his extended family over the course of six months as they put their respective lives back together.” Starting with their past drug use alone, there’s plenty to reassemble. Hell, just look at them.

If the reviews are even half-right, it sounds like we’re in for one hell of a series. The Hollywood Reporter offers the most hyperbolic review, saying the show “is undoubtedly the most disgusting and execrable series ever to ooze its way onto television.” Nice.

Elsewhere, The LA Times says that “the unacknowledged engine of the show — [is] waiting to see what Whitney’s gonna do next.” The Washington Post says that the couple’s “lives seem sad much of the time, yet never rise to the status of tragedy. They’re just there, and we’re just here, and the camera is plopped in between
