Bizarre Brown antics spoil New Edition reunion

Audience yells for trouble singer to leave stage during Essence Festival

HOUSTON - Bobby Brown was back with New Edition — and his ostentatious behavior stood out when he was paired with the soulful group.

Brown, who left New Edition in the 1980s for a solo career, reunited with the band Sunday night for two songs at the Essence Music Festival.

As the other five members moved to slick choreography Sunday, Brown ran around the stage wildly and performed raunchy dance moves.

The men brought the crowd to its feet with their performance of the 1985 hit “Mr. Telephone Man.”

Brown then left the stage, and the remainder of the group — original members Ralph Tresvant, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe, plus Johnny Gill, who replaced Brown — performed several ballads.

Brown followed with a solo set that started with “Don’t Be Cruel,” then quickly turned to more raunchy dancing and talk about his sex life with wife Whitney Houston.

By the time he finished with “My Prerogative,” Brown was shirtless and many in the audience were screaming for him to get off the stage.

Man, i love Bobby Brown...but he needs 2 grow up. Back in the day, he spiced things up and made a name 4 himself. He's 2 old 4 all that now. U can't do the same thing like that 4ever. After awhile, nobody is gonna take u seriously. I'm still dying 4 a NE reunion after Bad Boy ruined the last one. B. Brown on deck would be perfect.

No way is that Bad Boy album close 2 the level of their other stuff. Puffy ripped them in the process of making the album by forcing them 2 do so many trax with Bad Boy in-house producers...which aren't very good in the 1st place. NE themselves aren't happy with the album, check the interviews. It's funny that Bobby sat out on that album since Bobby Brown and Bad Boy almost fit 2gether.
