Chris Brown crying, one finger in the air at the 2010 BET Awards

Chris Brown Crying at the BET Awards? I Say, Staged.. but Genuine

Last night’s BET Awards was one of the best shows they’ve put on in years. As far as talking points, at the top of the list is Chris Brown crying during “Man in the Mirror;” part of his Michael Jackson tribute performance. Was Chris Brown having a genuine moment? I believe it was genuine, but also planned.

You could argue that the lyrics to “Man in the Mirror” sproughted his tears, but for me it was just too perfect of a snapshot. Chris Brown was banned from last year’s award show and has apologized for the incident with Rihanna to no avail. The public’s feeling that he can’t kick? Chris Brown is sorry, sorry that his career has been stuck on the corner of Shyt Street and Stain Avenue ever since he five pieced her.

So last night, Chris Brown had the opportunity to get back onstage, in front of his fans and do what he does best - some of that singing and dancing. The thinking before showtime had to be: it’s time to go for broke. It’s not like Chris doesn’t have acting skills. So he dug deep and let everyone know, for the last time, he is genuinely sorry for what happened… “I’m starting with the man in the mirror! I’m asking him to change his ways.. “

Again, though planned, I believe the emotion behind it was genuine.

As soon as his tears started to flow - everyone in the audience and across the country - it felt like, finally, the true acknowledgement of his mistake had been realized and instantly forgiven. “Aww, look at that. Yes, Chris Brown, we forgive you.” We’ll see how that translates financially to his future endeavors. Chris Brown has a part in the upcoming movie Takers and undoubtedly new music is on the way. Barring any dumb comments or bowtied fashion bloopers, there will be no more begging for radio airplay.

In case you didn’t see it, here’s the clip..

Chris Brown is back.

I dont know who created this website, but who ever thinks that Chris Brown crying during his performance was staged have to much time on their hands. The whole thing wasn’t about him trying to making a come back it was about him expressing how he really feels about Micheal Jackson and how he had a huge impact on his life. Everybody is so stuck on the past their not even living in the present he has moved on and so should everybody else. Its nothing anybody can do about it now we can go back in time the only thing we can do is learn from our mistakes and try to do better. Its kind of funny now the majority of the people is trying to give Micheal Jackson the respect he deserves and everybody is Micheal Jackson fans now, but when he was alive it was the other way around. I HATE!! website like this because the media always have to turn something postive into a negative JUST STOP!!! let people express how they feel without being judged all the time. Its just so frustrating seeing the media do this to people all the time. So, if you can please leave Chris Brown alone please. I dont know him personally or anything like that. Im just tired of people getting on his back about something that happen last year come on now thats so childish. Thank you for reading.

*stop hatin*

I honestly believe that Chris Brown was sincere. Everyone always have something negative to say about him. We all know there are stars that are still in the limelight after being abusive towards someone. Terrance Howard and I know Al Green has also so whats the difference. Quit criticizing Chris because we all know that he has came a long way. He loved Michael Jackson because Michael is his idol. It took a lot for him to perform in front of a lot of people. Then, on the other hand, that little smart comment about him smiling after receiving his award was not called for because he earned it. He just got himself together after the performance. I would smile too if I won an award after all this drama. So the media need to stop trying to find fault in everything.

Yea I was feeling my boy Chris no lie I cried with him I also thought about what JZ had the nerve to say last year that if Chris performed he would’nt. I t was a year later, but I felt his pain and who in the HELL can put a date to when you are not suppose to grieve???? My first cousin died five years ago and to this day I hurt. So Chris keep doing you and let the haters hate I’m 36 and I’m a true fan!!!!!

22 cute cat Wed, Jul 07, 2010 - 10:49 am

i think chris performance was sincere and he truly loved michael jackson it was great i cried with him r.i.p mike good job chris and yall stop hatin on this young man.

24 Sixlets Tue, Jul 13, 2010 - 3:14 pm

The public is so gullible. Chris was desperate to keep his career and willing to take the biggest opportunity he’s landed since the incident to play on the publics emotions to do it. There was nothing touching about his performance except for the fact that Michael is no longer here.

To the comments up top, for the record, the person who owns this website has the time and smarts to run their own website that YOU are visiting. People running around the internet defending Chris with essays every chance they get have too much time on their hands.

Chris Brown is beautiful. And when he cried on stage some of them tears was not just for Michael Jackson some of the tears was for him also

26 wowzeerz Thu, Jul 22, 2010 - 8:06 pm

28 ceaonia Thu, Jul 29, 2010 - 11:42 am

i think yall are hating a lil bit to much chris brownhas been a good person since he’s been out he never ment to hurt anyone but what u brought up in is how yo life is going to in up. it was a mistake and everyone make mistakes. you will never no the real story about the incident.Rihanna might had did something to him for him to put his hands on her and me and my baby chirs got into it and it was my fault hell yea he betta hit me for i can get some act right lol but please just stop judging him he is only human and humans make mistakes and baby when eveybody left yo side i was there u might not have knew but i never gave up on you. love ya baby boy!

29 Maroi Sat, Jul 31, 2010 - 1:54 pm

The song Man in the Mirror is about self-examination. It certainly would have been
appropriate for Chris to cry during this performance. He does have some examining to do after he just beat a chick like she stole something. Were his tears a sign of struggle and sorrow? I doubt it. There are many issues the black community refuses to get real on and domestic violence is one of them. Abusers know they can hurt someone and the victims will get the blame and pain. That’s power and manipulation. No wonder we can’t rid our society of abusers(Chris), pedophiles (R Kelly)because they know we got their backs.
