Bobby Brown dating history: Singer calls Janet Jackson the 'crush of my life'
'Biography: Bobby Brown' is all about revealing Brown's secrets and never heard before facts. Following the same festivities, Brown has now revealed that he was all for Janet Jackson, a superstar pop diva before Whitney Houston entered his life. He explained that Janet was the crush of his life and he took every possible step to woo her. The documentary premiered on A&E on Monday, May 30, and Tuesday, May 31, at 8/7c.
“Janet was the crush of my life,” said the 'Every Little Step' singer. Before he met his future wife, Houston, he fell in love with Janet, and he still shies away from remembering his feelings for the 'Together Again' singer. Brown said, "What was it about Janet? Everything. Her little smile, body, her dance moves, her little laugh. We loved each other’s company." Remembering his fling, he said, "We didn’t have that long of a relationship. The reason me and Janet broke off was that she couldn’t be with a man like myself. I’m from the projects. I’m hood. And her father [Joe Jackson] wouldn’t allow her to be with someone like me.”
