They were both megastars back in the 80's and early 90's and both of them had tons of talent. I think both of them are still very talented and might be able to make a comeback if they seriously cleaned up, got their acts together and doggedly decided "Alright, I'm going to make a comeback. This is serious. I can't let my career end this way." Unfortunately Whitney isn't hard or edgy enough for today's crowd who loves ghetto, gangsta chicks who can only carry a note and obsessed with no-talents like Beyonce and Rihanna. Her voice is shot from years of drug abuse and she hasn't completely sobered up. But she still has plenty of fans on her side and media support. Bobby Brown still sings more or less like he used to, a little damanged, but he mainly just has a deeper voice now and hasn't dealt with and perfected it in terms of singing. Unfortuantely for him he's gained some weight which he needs to lose before coming back and he needs to fix his face and hair up or something. He looks kind of unhealthy. He'll also have an uphill battle against public hatred and animus of rabid Whitney fans who use him as a convenient scapegoat to blame her bad behavior, addiction to drugs and crappy decisions on. It's not fair at all but it exists unfortunately. Bobby, Whitney, you're both MEGAstars to me and could easily blow no-talents like Chris Brown and Rihanna out of the water. You have more talent in your pinky fingers than 98% of people in the game today. Please do the world a favor - COME BACK! We miss you! 727379@blogcritics.org Thu, 19 Jun 2008 17:58:24 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/12/04/142040.php#comment-622336 agreed 622336@blogcritics.org Thu, 16 Aug 2007 15:07:23 EDT
