"Don't B Tardy 4 The Party"

OK, I cannot get enough of this trash. A Facebook friend of mine said she loses brain cells every time she watching the Real Housewives of Atlanta. I couldn't agree with her more.

As bad as this show is, it is strangely entertaining. I really like the addition of Kandi, but she's not a housewife and her fiance has left her. She is very talented, though. Before she came on the show, I knew she was a talented songwriter and decent singer, but I didn't know she was a miracle worker. If you can make Kim sound decent singing, you can work miracles.

I really like the song. She captured Kim's persona perfectly.

Behind The Music with Bobby Brown

This weekend, I made a conscience effort to catch up on my bad television shows that I have missed through the week. The first was "Behind The Music" with Bobby Brown.

Like many of you, I was a big fan of Bobby's in the late 80s and early 90s. Bobby was definitely the "bad boy" of r&b (long before gangster rap and Kanye West got the title). Bobby did everything the guys are doing today. Lots of drugs, lots of women and getting arrested so many times that you lose count after about a year or so.

Well, I must say that this BTM was not very informative, nor was it that great. The best thing for me was seeing the old footage of New Edition and the old footage of Bobby on stage. Not to mention, there were a few facts that weren't all correct. Come on, producers, get it together!!!! For those of you that don't know, "My Prerogative" was NOT the first single from "Don't Be Cruel" the album. "Don't Be Cruel" was the first single.

The biggest thing that bothered me about this BTM is that Larry Blackmon (of Cameo), LA Reid, Babyface, and Teddy Riley were not interviewed for this special. To me, it would have provided a great perspective on where Bobby was during that point in his career. It would have also would have made for a more interesting story if we knew what they wanted to get out of Bobby in the studio and how the songs were created that made him a star.

I totally understand that the New Edition portion of the story should not have been left out, but I feel that we could have gotten other people's perspective. Come on, Johnny Gill seems like a cool cat, but he was not a character in the Bobby Brown story until they did the reunion album, "Home Again".

The Whitney Houston portion of the story was one that many people were looking forward to seeing and hearing. I was not looking forward to that. Especially after following those trajic stories over the years. For years, you couldn't turn on any entertainment show without a Bobby and Whitney story. Not to mention, the horrid "Being Bobby Brown" that was entertaining, yet disturbing. So rehashing this in the documentary was relevant, but should have been done differently.

In all, I think this was a decent BTM. It was very entertaining to watch the footage and to know how frivolous Bobby was with money. Also, it was good to hear that he hit rock bottom (financially in addition to personally) like so many of us do. It added a real human element to the story that was relate able to the average person. My rating C+
