dam can u imagine if she would have won n had to go up there ...:frozen:


RIP...

Isn’t that the scene they keep playing in these movies? I think I’m Bobby Brown movie they didn’t say why.


But damn you see them nominations. All them can sing their ass off.
 
what would the nominations look like in 2019 ...

Bey...? sad i dont even know that many female R&B singers anymore...
 
The old stupid mindset that if someone is mainstream or in a commercial they are a sell out.
To be fair, the awards shows at that time had did a lot of fuck shit. Dissing rap, picking main stream white approved acts as best RnB while dissing true ethnic acts.
 
Too pop and not soulful like Anita back then. Wasn't until she got with hood ass Bobby Black folk really embraced her. Speaking of Anita she's a major bitch

dam...thats fucked up ...smh

now fast fwd...one of our biggest artist ....

she would b on the Mount Rushmore of female solo r&b singers...

as a matter of fact ...:idea:
 
The best song won. "Giving You The Best That I've Got" is one of Anita's greatest, IMO.

I'm old enough to remember this period. Whitney was over-saturated on the radio at this time. People (especially Black people) were sick of her
That makes sense. Whitney's first album was classic. I remember, at the time, I was really looking forward to some more bangin' R&B hits from her.

Her second album she went more pop/crossover - ie: structured to grab a mainstream white audience. The biggest hits were "So Emotional" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody". Black crossover really peaked around '85 or '86. So, by the time these awards happened in 1989, crossover R&B as a genre was on its death bed. A distinctively funky, Black R&B sound was in style again with New Jack Swing and various British R&B acts like Soul II Soul, Loose Ends and Sade leading the way - not to mention rap music surging. There was also a Pro-Black consciousness/cultural renaissance that was starting that you could see reflected in hip-hop music, film (Spike Lee, Robert Townsend) and tv (A Different World, The Arsenio Hall Show).

So I could see how Whitney could have caught backlash in that environment- especially from younger music fans.
 
i dont know bruh...that shit was harsh ...

thats crazy to me....

Whitney Hou....booooooooooooo :eek:


wow ...i dont remember that at all...:smh:
