'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.”

A lot was revealed in the documentary. Brown has already admitted to being a sex addict and that he and Houston were sold off on drugs. "I walked in and, um, saw her doing a line of coke. It was a shocker to me seeing her sniff for the first time. I think that was when I realized that we had more in common than I thought," said Brown. He had earlier said that Houston was the love of his life. So, who all were in a relationship with Brown?
