20 days ago | 5 Views
Bobby Brown has expressed his disapproval of Britney Spears' rendition of his 1988 hit, "My Prerogative." In a discussion with Shannon Sharpe on the latest episode of the 'Club Shay Shay' podcast, Brown remarked, “Britney Spears butchered ‘My Prerogative.’”
He further elaborated, “Teddy Riley produced it. But that was a butchering. I couldn’t take it.”
Sharpe noted that Brown had previously “cleared” the cover. To this, Brown responded, “I cleared it, only because it was Britney Spears!”
Spears released her version of the song in 2004 during a tumultuous period in her marriage to Kevin Federline, with whom she shares two sons.
The cover was included as one of three new tracks on Spears’ compilation album, "Greatest Hits: My Prerogative," and was produced by the Swedish duo Bloodshy & Avant, rather than Riley.
Brown reflected on his disappointment with Spears' cover, stating that it served as a valuable lesson. “I gotta hear it [to clear it] because you don’t know what these kids will say these days,” he explained.
He added, “These kids say some things that… you don’t want your song associated with.”
‘Bobby is an example of a testimony’
Many Fans expressed their admiration for Brown in the comments section of the YouTube video. One viewer remarked, “Bobby serves as a powerful testament. He has endured much and is here on this couch, alive to share his story. I fully support this!” Another user stated, “I appreciate that Shannon Sharpe is providing a platform for our legends to share their narratives, rather than relying on VladTV with its alternative agenda!” A different commenter added, “Bobby has taught us the meaning of prerogative. We love him.”
One user noted, “He is far more humble and kind than I expected. This man is truly blessed,” while another expressed, “I’m thrilled to see Bobby in such a positive place! He deserves health and happiness.” Additionally, one viewer commented, “This interview is definitely worth a rewatch! Excellent interview.”
