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.

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!

Even if Bobby is a little (maybe a lot) nuts, he is undeniably talented and his music is great.
This is a good cd with all the hits. It starts off with a new edition of Mr Telephone Man and there is all the cool, tight songs you know. There is Don't Be Cruel, Rock Wit'cha, Roni and My Perogative to name a few. I love having all these great cuts on one disc so I highly recommend this to all Bobby fans. It's a good collection.

FOR PEOPLE WHO GREW UP IN THE LATE 80'S & EARLY 90'S BOBBY BROWN WAS A PART OF PEOPLES LIFES WHO LOVED R&B.
BOBBY BROWN MADE THE SONGS FOR THE DANCE CLUBS TO PARTY 2.
PLUS BOBBY BROWN MADE THE SLOW~JAMS FOR YOU & YOUR GIRL TO GET ROMANTIC 2.BOBBY BROWN MADE THE VIDEOS THAT WERE PLAYED 100 TIMES A DAY ON MTV.AND EVERYONE COULD NOT WAIT TO SEE AND HEAR THEM AGAIN.BOBBY BROWN WAS A PERSON THAT SHOWED THE WORLD.THAT A PERSON CAN BECOME A PLATINUM SELLING ARTIST;WITHOUT YOUR FORMER BAND~MATES BY YOUR SIDE.HIS CD {DON'T BE CRUEL} WAS A HIT MAKEING MACHINE IN 88` AND RULED THE RADIO AIRWAVES & MTV.
HIS CD {BOBBY} FROM 92` SHOWED THAT A PERSON FROM THE 80'S COULD MAKE IT IN THE 90'S. AND STILL PUT OUT HITS THAT PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR & BUY.
BOBBY BROWN MAY NOW BE A PLATINUM SELLING ARTIST GONE BAD.
BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THE SONGS ARE BAD.THEY STILL TO THIS VERY DAY MAKE YOU WANT TO DANCE.AND THE SLOW~JAMS MAKE YOU WANT 2 GET *FREAKY* WITH YOUR LADY FRIEND.
THESE SONGS BRING BACK GOOD MEMORYS OF THE DECADES PAST.

Bobby Brown once upon a time was a happening cat. too bad it seems like a lifetime ago because these cuts are still Slamming.Bobby should still be making records as to being seen as a Artist past his time. all the Big time cuts are on here.

I am a HUGE Bobby Brown fan....this CD is great! That had most of the songs ...that I wanted on one CD...This CD does not disappoint. I would love for Bobby to make a comeback. I'll have frong row seats.

Good job. I never have a problem when ordering. You can call me a regular.

Bottom Line - If you're a fan of Bobby Brown this is his best collection of hits PERIOD!

Ok, I did not order this one from Amazon I picked this one up in the store. But, I came to Amazon to check out his new book that I heard about on the Doug Banks morning show. Anyway, this cd is really good because it captures all his hits which are all packed into this one cd that makes for a few hours of good listening. If you are a fan of Bobby Brown then this cd is a must for you to pick up. Yeah, Booby has been through a few things in his life but who doesn't have issues? In my opinion, the cd is hott. But as always...YMMV! NEOSOUL06
