Bobby Brown’s Performance On The Today Show…

The ReadyWriter

 

Bobby Brown, 43, kicked off the summer season this memorial day with a live performance this morning on the Today Show. While the singer looked good and his voice sounds pretty much the same, his performance was mediocre. Brown would sing a few cords of his famous hits and then be completely out of breath., which means he’s out of shape for performing.

Toni Braxton said it best: “You can’t drink, smoke and party and expect to give a stella performance”. It takes being in shape both physically and vocally to hold those notes and move around on stage.

Bobby is on tour promoting his latest album “The Masterpiece,” and dedicated one of his most popular songs, “Every Little Step,” to U.S. troops, some of whom were in the crowd on the plaza.

“The Masterpiece” drops on June 5.

No More Melanie and Derwin? The Game Axes Their Characters

The ReadyWriter

The show has already gone to the toilet, now to top it off BET axes two of its central characters…

Tia Mowry confirmed on her Twitter page last night that she would not be returning for the next season of The Game. Pooch Hall will also not be back.

While they’re at it, they should axe Brandy (Chardonnay) and Coby Bell (Jason Pitts) characters as well. Their relationship is boring and the show no longer has substance.

The ReadyWriter

Bobby Brown, 43, sat down with Matt Lauer of the “Today show” in his first exclusive interview since his ex-wife, Whitney Houston died. Brown told host Matt Lauer that he had been off drugs for seven years and was hurt to hear that Houston had been using cocaine. And of course we all know, this was Bobby’s chance to clear the air, since the world blames him for getting Whitney hooked on drugs.

“I’m not the one that got Whitney hooked on drugs, at all,” Brown said in an interview to be aired this week on the Today show and “I’m not the reason she’s gone,” he added.

“I was hurt … because, you know, me being off of narcotics for the last seven years – I felt that she was, you know, I didn’t know she was struggling with it still. But at the same time, you know – listen, it’s a hard fight,” he said.

Brown said drugs were part of Houston’s life before he met her in 1991. “I smoked weed, I drank the beer, but no, I wasn’t the one that got Whitney on drugs at all,” he said.

“So this was a part of her life before you and she got together?” Lauer asked.

“Way, way before. Yeah … It’s just, it’s just unexplainable – how one could, you know, (say that I) got her addicted to drugs. I’m not the reason she’s gone,” Brown replied.

Bobby spoke about the last time he saw Whitney, which was a week before she died, they were at a restaurant having dinner with their daughter, Bobby Kristina.

Brown said Houston had a “glow about her” “She just looked like she was in a good place,” he said.

The interview will air Wednesday and Thursday on the “Today show” on NBC.
