After seeing Bobby Brown's various escapades on television, I wasn't sure what to expect live. He hosted Big O's Celebrity Birthday Bash at Studio 74. The crowd was lighter than I anticipated and was lethargic until Brown got on the mike.
The event happened Saturday but he didn't arrive until about 12:45 a.m. Sunday. After chilling and eating in the VIP room, he joined the party. Brown was surprisingly fun. He sang along to "My Prerogative" and "Every Little Step."
Since Brown blew in the '90s, the DJ spun a lot of hip-hop from that era. Brown sang to most of what the DJ spun, and he cajoled the crowd into dancing instead of standing around. He posed for pictures, and the men in the club were as excited as the women. OK, the guy didn't scream, but I saw several guys doing old New Edition steps. By 1:30 a.m., Bobby joined the ladies on stage for some freaky dancing.
Often celebrity hosts say a quick what's up and retreat to the VIP, but Brown got down with everybody and turned what could have been a weak party into something memorable. No, Whitney didn't show up.
