Something In Common

Bobby Brown with Whitney Houston: Something In Common (MCA)

‘Something In Common’: vapidity, egotism, emotional aerobics, the same lawyer (probably), the defensiveness of the aspiring black middle-class, fans in every Premiership team, humourlessness, (like Michael Jackson) a scraping and bowing to the American Way, blockbuster ballads that are the musical equivalent of dirigibles and of course sufficient money to pay off the accumalated debts of half-a-dozen West African republics.
