Being Bobby Brown

This series is just.... awful.

Really awful.

It's strangely disturbing to see a couple hopeless has-beens who have destroyed themselves through their own bad choices. Even more disturbing is how Whitney has allowed Bobby Brown to drag her down into the mud with him. She gives a bad name to all her fellow women for doing this in the name of "standing by her man". "Standing by her criminal idiot" is more like it.

There isn't even the interesting drama one would hope from a TV series. Drama needs a protagonist. Someone you can root for. Someone struggling to make their world better. Whitney and Bobby are just circling the toilet bowl whining about how their past success isn't allowing them to have careers anymore.

How this train wreck of human life can become a TV show is beyond me.

After watching this reality series about Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's daily lives, you can see those people are ghetto to the core, and that's their biggest problem. The public blamed Bobby for Whitney's drug use, downward spiral, and untimely death, but Whitney also lacked upper class qualities and manners, maturity, some common sense, and this TV show only showed this. She was talented and beautiful, but at heart, she is just a ghetto-born black American woman like her husband. During all 9 episodes, Whitney and Bobby behave like spoiled and immature 10-year-old brats. They are so noisy and rude in public places like restaurants, shops, etc. Sometimes other people around them in these public places just look shocked at their weird behaviors. Their home lives are even worse and more chaotic than their public social lives. There is even a scatalogical moment in which Bobby explains how he removed the big turd from Whitney. There are also some farting and defecating moments; it's just beyond disgusting. All series are especially disaster for Whitney's public image, and it is obvious she just agreed to show up in this TV series for Bobby. Despite it's train wreck nature, if you're still intrigued to watch this TV series, you can find it on Youtube.

How better to describe it than scuzzy criminals on TV? And I don't mean in the show COPS; here, they're actually being presented as protagonists.

I don't see any remedial value in this show unless you have a perverse penchant for human tragedies. Whitney Houston is a tragic example of the fallen star; a star which Bobby Brown helped pull from the sky. Bobby Brown is nothing but a low-life criminal. Why watch him? Why does Whitney stand by him no matter how despicable he is? This couple should be locked up and it's a loathsome shame they are making money and achieving a modicum of fame from watching the septic tank which is their lives and the human waste which is their character.

While the show itself is void of any substance, just like "Newlyweds" you have to wonder how much of it is blown out of proportion for ratings. If they were boring, no one would continue to watch.

And as ignorant as Bobby Brown may be, I actually felt sorta bad for him. Watching Whitney's behavior made me feel embarrassed for THEM. When she wasn't whining and complaining like a little diva, she was drunk/high and acting like an idiot! Whitney may have been beautiful and may have been talented (back in the day), but at the end of the day, she is just as "Ghetto" as Bobby. No one forced her to marry him and stay with him all these years - this is who she was all along and her publicists and handlers and managers did an excellent job keeping her image under control for a long time.

She's just like Mariah - you can take the girl out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the girl!

I saw an episode of this show as of this afternoon on the cable channel BRAVO. How better describe this series is just the following comment...

1. How in the hell did a scuzzy criminal like Bobby Brown get his own reality TV show?

2. After all these years,why is Whitney Houston still hanging around him regardless of his criminal and violent past?

Lets face it,like the following previous statement regarding this show is describing how in the hell scuzzy criminals(like Bobby Brown)that can get there own show and for the first twenty minutes or so,they make fools of themselves on camera. In other words,complete imbeciles of themselves on national television and the world to look at.

The scuzzy criminals that are on COPS,are actually being presented as protagonists-which they know when there doing wrong,and are actually caught on tape doing the crime and from there the police make the arrest and the suspect is persecuted to the fullest extent of the law for the crimes they committed. That is on the show COPS. But as far as Being Bobby Brown is concerned that is no remedial value what so ever unless you may see a perverse penchant for a human tragedy--in other words a train wreck that is waiting to happen and on this show,the train wreck is between two individuals whose lives and careers are headed for a crash toward the path of the brick wall. In other words,these are two people whose careers had spun out of control and are headed into a skiddish direction from which there is no turning back. This is a human tragedy gone completely berserk in its finest hour.

And Being Bobby Brown is a prime example of this stupidity that is one of the WORST reality shows out there,second to some I can think of that could possibly fit into this category...."The Anna Nicole Smith Show", "Jackass","Viva La-Bam","Temptation Island","Growing Up Gotti","The Britney Spears Show",and so much more. And to put it bluntly,it is awful....really awful....watch some of the episodes and you see what I mean. It is to some and even strangely disturbing to see a couple like this self destruct themselves through some of the bad choices they make and some of the worst parenting ever seen is one part of it,especially the way they treat their own daughter like she's nobody and just humilate her within the public eye is very disturbing.

Its even sad that Whitney Houston has allowed herself to be drag through the dirt with the likes of Bobby Brown. This is sad to see. Whitney Houston was on top of the world and her rise to fame was a part of it during her successes. This was a singer that was at the peak of her fame with the smash hit records,Grammy,Oscar,and AMA,not to mention Soul Train Music Awards wins(and movie roles in motion pictures) that she had it all in the palm of her hand and from there when downhill quickly when she got with Bobby Brown,who in my opinion hasn't done one thing since he was kicked to the curb from New Edition(he was replaced by Johnny Gill). And by the way,what has Bobby Brown done lately? Nothing. He has got One Grammy to boot(for his debut album,which was a major hit)and that's about it. But to face facts,Whitney Houston is a tragic example of the rise and fall of her own Roman Empire and a utter tragedy of a fallen star from which Bobby helped pull from the sky. And to make it even worst,Bobby Brown is a scum--a low-life criminal(the David Ruffin of the gangsta generation),and to see these people got through the motions is not only sickening,but utterly disturbing to watch. However,seeing these two go at it like dysfunctional adults acting like children when they fuss and fight throughout the rest of the program is enough to turn to something else on a lazy afternoon with nothing to do.
