Title: The Cure win Best Video presented by Bobby Brown at the BRIT Awards 1990

Never saw this video before.

Here's the f*cking bastard Bobby Brown (infamous for introducing the late Whitney Houston in the world of drugs) presenting The Cure's Brit Award for their 'Lullaby' video. How humble is Robert when saying 'This is unexpected, we never won anything before'. There's half of the band with him, just Roger and Boris. Skip to 00:50 to see the presentation:

Robert gives special thanks to Tim Pope 'who has done most of our videos in the past few years'

Got to say, this is the video that deserved it! (Was/is one of the best Cure vids ever!)  :smth023

Can't help but thinking Bobby Brown didn't like the Cure much back then (the "reserved" way he announces them), nor did they like him much (I guess).  :D
I never liked his music. But W. Houston was a grown-up when they married, so I can't put all the blame on him. Whoever you get married to, there's no need to do everything he/she does...  :roll:
