Being Bobby Brown

LaTaviya Reviews... Being Bobby Brown

by LaTaviya Goldstein-Martinez


            By now you’ve probably heard of Being Bobby Brown, Bravo’s newest celebrity train wreck. The show follows Bobby Brown as he gets out of jail and spends time with his family including his wife, Whitney Houston (who shall be referred to a Crackie Mae for the remainder of this document) and his crazy kids. The kids are irrelevant and thus, a small part of the show. The most captivating part of it all is watching Crackie Mae and her husband do all kinds of “normal” activities, like singing and dancing in a gift shop.

            I know the show is supposed to be about Bobby, but the real star is Crackie herself who never ceases to amaze us with more bizarre activities than a room full of Jacksons. As if the sweating and the bad wigs weren’t enough to confirm that she’s a crack head, we witness major mood swings, (laughing and singing to sobbing in 5 seconds flat) random singing outbursts, and the rapid transition from dignified diva to ghetto queen. Oh, and since when is Whitney Houston cross-eyed? Just wondering. She’s a walking parody of herself. Poor Deborah Wilson from MadTV will be out of a job with the real crazy Whitney gracing TV screens.

            I do recommend you watch it, but be warned: this is no Chaotic. In fact, Whitney Houston makes Britney Spears look like Princess Di. It’s certainly not for the weak, but if you’re into the documentation of the slow breakdown of a human being, Being Bobby Brown is the show for you. Let me put it this way, if you couldn’t handle Britney’s truth, you definitely can’t handle Bobby and Crackie Mae.
