(Page 1 of 1)1. I think Chris Brown did a moving tribute to MJ, had me in tears. i know there are going to comment that he is a woman beater, etc. but how long you gonna hold it against him? stop acting like he is the only one in history to hit a woman. this young paid his dues, and suffered for his actions, and trying to take his best foot forward and make things right, but people wont let him. if MJ was here, he would want us to forgive one another, and to be honest, if we had more people like MJ, maybe this world would be a better place. and to nip in the bud all those people who choose to call MJ a pedophile (which he is not), yall need to get a life. do you honestly think that if all white jury thought he was guilty, they wouldve found him guilty? but they didnt. why? CAUSE HE WASNT GUILTY. yall go hard on poor mike for something that he got accused of and didnt do, but yall dont see a problem with R kelly peeing on little girls and taping it? i just dont get it.
R.I.P MJ and Chris, i hope you get your career back.

2. hhhhhmmmmm I watched his performance, and I wasn't convinced that he was crying because he missed MJ so much. I'm a life time fan of Michael's like so many others. So I understand why someone might feel extremely emotional but with so many other cir***stances surrounding Chris Brown, it's a little hard to believe that all of those tears were for the King of Pop, maybe....just maybe it was the perfect opportunity to market a softer, more caring side of Chris B. Guess what? It worked, so I'm not mad at him for doing whatever it takes to get back on top. Real or fake? I'm sticking with fake. At some point it became about Chris and not MJ. too too much though, not cool in my opinion.

3. uh...they did find him guilty thats why he is on probation and cant come with in 500yrds. or whatever of rihanna. now i do agree with you chris brown killed it!!! even the parts that he did sing were on point.now im not saying"aww he sang and thrusted his pelvis all is forgiven" what he did was wrong.very.but it shouldnt be the reason he cant keep moving forward.we can make a laundry ist of actors sings dancers ect. who have done the same and even worse things but we forgave them. Give the boy a chance.

5. I think Chris Brown rocked, he did the best tribute to Michael Jackson that I've seen thus far. Obviously he is a Michael Jackson fan and it is an honor that Michael's Family and BET allowed Chris to perform the tri ute in the first place. Chris has not been "accepted" up until the BET performance. I think he was emotional, he danced his heart out! He also mightv'e been reflecting while he was singing Man in the Mirror- making a change starting with himself. I accepted his apology then and there. Anyone deserves forgiveness if they say that they are sorry. Chris you are forgiven! What a wonderful tribute to the King of Pop!

8. i think the media, and the public are idiots. It's proof that rhianna and chris brown had a very destructive relationship, they were both mentally, and physically volatile with each other. to put it all on him is not good. i'm not saying that a woman deserves to be hit. i'm saying that there are always 2 sides to the story, and enough is enough. i know that she had affairs and tormented him. i feel bad for him.
