“I’ve always considered myself ‘The King of Stage.’ To this very day, I still don’t think anyone can get with me on the stage. I own the stage,” Bobby Brown confidently proclaims in his new autobiography, ‘Being Bobby Brown: The Truth and Nothing But …’
As previously reported, BlackVoices.com has exclusively obtained an advance copy of the memoir, where Brown also revealed his past relationship with R&B superstar Usher (who he calls his “little mini me”).
“I watched one of Usher’s shows and he basically did my whole show,” the ‘My Prerogartive’ crooner writes. “It was as if it was me on stage. The thing about it is, I love seeing that. It’s a compliment to me as a performer.”
The ‘former New Edition singer totally understands Usher’s reason for emulating his stage performance, to a point in which he once took elements of Prince, Michael Jackson and James Brown.
“I think you take parts of whoever is the hottest act of that era and you incorporate that into your own style,” Brown explained. “It’s just like taking buttermilk, eggs and corn meal, you whip it up bake it and you have cornbread.”
It’s quite obvious he gave that same advice to a young Usher, who he said he once personally trained.
