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.
Background dancers dont get enough credit, its always about the star for obvious reasons but i liked the fact that Bobby gave his dancers a little shine on stage b/c they were killing it! Loved the energy
Dunno if anyone cares but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my gf during the lockdown =)
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✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
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!

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.
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
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 !
I will be the first to admit that the day it was announced that Bobby Brown was leaving New Edition to pursue a solo career, I thought he was crazy! Boy was I wrong; that young man bet on himself and won! A great entertainer, and great solo artist and career! My apologies for underestimating Mr. Bobby Brown! More than anything else I continue to pray for his strength in the face of all the tragedies in his life! 🎤🙏✌❤💪
Yes he was. Now he don't look like he ever looked like that. Amazing. Well battle with drugs. Bless his heart.He's Blessed to still be here. Yeah! Bobby in his Prime!
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.
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!
he knew he was bad back in them days. look at how he just fell into the dance steps in the beginning...dude was on his shit for real. bobby brown and michael jackson were killing it.
People Can Hate ALL THEY WANT But Bobby Was The Man...Check This...Solo Artist After Bobby Stole Bobbys Style Artists Like...Timberlake, Usher, Bieber, Sisqo, Mario, Chris Brown Just To Name A Few. 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.
+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.
+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.
Thats the BB i remember!! So much energy and a great peformer... brings back memories.. sad his ego and drug use snatched all that talent...He still deserves the be acknowledged as one of the best...
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?
HELL TO DA YEAH!!...classic...back when performers PERFORMED!!!.....and I'm writing this in 2017!!!...man. I miss those days and more importantly, the for real GOOOOD music!!

You get it right
He was a true professional, serious about his craft, it really showed
They should rerun Arsenio's show. Must see tv at the time. Better than ANYTHING on tv right now!

Their names were heart and soul....background dancers!
Heart soul dd DANCE
@@pihaat Yes, he always mentioned their names and gave them props! They were excellent!
Bobby was killing it back then crazy energy no lip syncing
Lol
Stephanie Gibson stfu nigga bobby was jamming
Emelio Sanders B was the Best
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.
That's what that coke a do
THE THREE BROWNS CAN’T BE FUCKED WITH WHEN IT COMES TO THAT DANCING THANG!
James Brown!
Bobby Brown!
Chris Brown!
Man! You tole NO lies!!!!😂
FACTZ
💯 FACTS
NOBODY WENT HARDER ON STAGE THAN BOBBY!
There has been one that immediately comes to mind..., MC HAMMER
James, Michael and Hammer
Bobby was in his own lane. Marrying Hip Hop & R&B.
In other words there's only one who BB! Periodt!!😛
Johny Gill does
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✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
I dont care what you say about Bobby Brown, he's a showman to his heart! Thanks for all the great music!
Bobby was always in beast mode when he performed. Only other artist that could dance as good as Michael.
you forgot hammer and of course, the godfather
1998 folks !!! that's 26 years ago that song was released 😁, im 62 now and back then we use to rock with as much energy. Good times !
1988. Not 1998.
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!
The other 3% consist of Bruno Mars, Usher, and, possibly, Chris Brown.
@@drummingdanny84 I agree! 👍🏾
I can never understand how people can sit in their seat watching shows like this. Like, I'd have to stand up and wiggle along.
Damn right 💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺
Yeeees what?!!!! I'm dancing!!!! 😂💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥
No lip syncing, all singing and dancing. If you were to perform on the Arsenio Hall show, you had to do it live.
+tdrewman Ariana Grande just did the same thing on Ellen not too long ago. True talent is still out there.

Bobby brown was one hell of a entertainer !
Such a cool hairstyle then and I still love it now.. God bless you Bobby
Bobby Brown was off the chain. Damnnnn, that boy had mad swag. New Jack Swing. Fine, Sexy Chocolate

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.
Yup, either way, Whitney was a treasure.
Yes Bobby took the blame for everything he loved her
I always respect Bobby and New Edition... he's very sweet and strong to handle nasty critics GOD Bless New Edition ❤🎉

His first lp was titled 'King of Stage'. This performance puts the exclamation point on that.
Damn!!!! Now that’s entertainment at its finest.
Bobby Brown was the best dancer around, the New Jack Swing Fred Astaire. Those moves, those grooves
This the Bobby Brown I fell in love with back then. Bobby could throw the hell down
