5.0 out of 5 stars Great Artist Gone Bad, March 20, 2006

There is no doubt that Bobby Brown is a great artist, but unfortunately he may be remembered as Mr Houston that got troubles to stay away from drugs rather then the lead singer of New Edition and a hit machine in the late 80's/early 90's but back then Bobby Brown was a great artist of his own, he was part of the new jack swing in the late 80's early 90's that mixed R&B/rap/hip hop and synth funk and scored loads of pop hits, from around 1988 to 1992 Bobby was frequently on the charts. This collection resembles the one given out a few years ago called " Bobby Brown's Greatest Hits", althought it also includes some songs from his New Edition time like (Mr Telephone Man) and some newer less popular songs like (Thug Lovin with Ja Rule) But other then that it's pretty much the same, the top hits like "Don't Be Cruel, "My Prerogative" "Every Little Step" "Roni" and "Rock With Cha" "She Ain't Worth It"(With Glenn Medeiros) and "Good Enough" all appear here. The only song I'm missing out is the excellent song "Two Can Play That Game", but it didn't appear on the other collection either. If you don't have the other one and want to rememer that greatness of Bobby back in the day, get this collection cause it's full of great pop/R&b songs and it will help you discover that he was actually a very great artist on his own once upon a time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful collection!, April 4, 2006

This is far better than Greatest Hits that came out on MCA in 2000! They dug deeper to find Bobby Brown's best songs. Yes, the album songs, but his songs with New Edition, Glenn Medieros (where is he now?), Ja Rule and Whitney Houston. His duet with Whitney, 1992's Something in Common is very funky and probably might have encouraged Whitney to get out of big ballad hell a little bit for her 1998 album. The Glenn Medieros dance heavy song has more meat when Bobby hits his raps in the middle. Bobby's own hits of Don't Be Cruel, Prerogative, On Our Own, Get Away, Humpin Around, That's the Way Love Is, Feelin' Inside, Roni, Rock'Wit Cha and others still hold up today with their funky grooves and smooth feels. Even Bobby sounds strong on Ja Rule's song, a smart mix of Ja's macho rapping and Bobby's superb singing in the same song. It matches quite well with Bobby's bad boy image. I'd rather hear Bobby's music than his troubles with the law. He's currently recording a new album and I can't wait to hear how that sounds! I think he's hungry to get back out there while we listen to this wonderful collection of hits. It took a reality show to get his name back out there, but it will take his music to get Bobby Brown back on top again!
