Season of breaking it down for Bobby Brown and Janet Jackson

Season of breaking it down for Bobby Brown and Janet Jackson

Seeing America’s super stars Bobby Brown and Janet Jackson, in different trending videos showing music lovers that they still got the vibes as they did back in their early days, is heartwarming.

The last time I showed interest in anything about Bobby was years back when I saw him on TV, weeping openly following the death of Bobby Kristina- his daughter. It broke my heart. Not only because the former New Edition superstar lost his daughter but because he had earlier lost the mother of his child- Whitney Houston, an incredible songstress whose songs, ‘All At Once’, ‘Greatest Love of All’, ‘I’ll Always Love You’, etc, I still enjoy every day.

So, understand when I say my heart warmed up seeing Bobby breaking it down with full energy, at the Vegas Residency during the week. It is not easy recovering fully after the loss of a loved one.

While he did some scintillating break down moves, the excited audience kept screaming ‘go Bobby, go Bobby, go Bobby’.

The trending video has gathered over 15k comments, with many admiring the singer’s appearance, dance moves, etc. So many others simply congratulated him for surviving and for still having the vibes after putting in over four decades in the American entertainment industry.

And the younger sister of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson, Janet didn’t own her stage during the American Music Awards like many of her age mates would. She nailed her performance.

Janet Jackson is not only being hailed by fans for breaking it down on stage, but also celebrated for her triumphant return to television. She took the American Music Awards stage for her first televised performance in 7 years. Janet was recognised for her impact on the music industry.

“She’s an icon, she’s a legend, and she is the moment”; “Congratulations Icon Queen goddess, Janet Jackson”; “You deserved the Icon Award Janet” and many more are written of her in the comment sections of the trending video.

Grateful, she wrote on her social media handles, “Thank you so much again AMAs! It was such a special night.”
