Okay, so I walk around with this notion, but... I know it was wrong he beat the crap out of Rihannah... but it doesn't take away from the fact that the boy has TALENT. He can SING. He can DANCE. He can ENTERTAIN. Everyone makes mistakes. And his mistake isn't going to stop me from buying his album.

Umm yeah I can compare the two. Two stars who made bad decisions. It does make a difference, but its sick to know you think that somehow recorded sexual acts with a minor "isn't half as bad" as a young rising star punching his "pop star" girlfriend. wow. Anyway, my opinion is this in regards to the topic, if Chris works hard enough, his career WILL recover, whether if most don't like it or not.

That's what I'm saying, who are any of us to judge? No one is perfect. At least he's young enough to recover from his bad decisions and learn from it. But you know on the org, people are going to judge regardless

missfee said:

Me? The public that thinks that. lol!

Maybe you should get over the fact that there are artists (James Brown, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, MJ, etc. etc.) that got away with things because their core fan base is strong. Chris never had a strong core fan base. His core fan base are teen females that are top 40 listeners. So they could easily sway to liking another artist. It doesn't help that he's a mediocre artist with an okay back catalog.

R Kelly and Chris are equally wrong

I agree with Layzie 100%

Hell, when I told people at work I was seeing Kanye live in 2008, they were telling me he was an asshole. Nothing changed.

missfee said:

Not true. I could give less than a damn about Rihanna's no singing ass so how famous the woman he hit is irrelevant to me. A local disc jockey here beat the crap out of his girlfriend (not famous) and I stopped listening to him, period.

missfee said:

More power to you guys. You are better than me in that aspect.

midiscover said:

Actually I'm not stuck on it, I brought it up to make a point. But since you hell bent on being a judgemental hater I'll let you believe that your opinion is fact. Have a great day!

mancabdriver said:

Yep..

Rhianna's hype, and the fact that White America loves her... Well, before this current CD..

C-Brown... Grammy Night...

I thought his album would be really popular on the org considering how many orgers either sympathised with him or blamed Rihanna.

They're equivalent for me: I only like two songs on each of their albums.

purplesweat said:

Are you f***ing kidding me?!? I thought there were wrongs on both parts. Chris should have never hit Rhianna. And Rhianna should have never hit Chris (if that was ever true).

As a matter of fact, I was one of the few orgers that was hoping for Chris to serve some prison time, 90 days at the very least. But this dude only receive 3 years probation & 12 weeks of community service.

Is that fool still on the air? hmm.

What DJ are you talking about? I also wanted Chris locked up

I didn't say you specifically, chill!! A lot defended, but a lot didn't either.

"Crazy" Howard McGee. And TD3, he was gone for a long time and now he's back on 106.3.

missfee said:

Your right in some ways. But I'm a fan of Chris & R Kelly. They both had different images. R kelly had a sexual bad boy image. So it really wasn't a surprise when that happen. It was already known he had a hot romance & married underage rest her soul Aaliyah. Chris image was squeaky clean. It was just a shock to everyone when he did that to her. I thought that his cd would do better than it did. But I guess its too soon. But I do agree that other artist did worse things then him and came back. But R kelly is more talented as a writer and composer and his songs just were to good to be ignored.

I always say your one hit away from a comeback. Chris just needs that mega hit to bring him back. But his lastest release was sabotaged . I think by his own label.

BULL SHIT
Chris Album was front and center at the best buy I went to, and there is no reason a label would sabotage an album when they could make money. Chris just twatted that to get some buzz and sympathy and hopefully more album sales. Digital sales should be proof of this, his album barely reached the top ten in Itunes. The people chose not to buy that album. Transform ya was a good single, even I was tempted to put it on repeat despite how much I hate him, but like many others I just said no to support of a domestic abuser.

I agree. I recently went to a sold-out show by a group called STS9 and no one in the audience seemed to care that the group never had an album crack the Top 200 or had a hit single. The group was voted the 19th touring act of 2008 or some year.

There is always going to be a huge double standard with what "someone has done" and "what someone does now" its just that simple. John F Kennedy could bang about 30 women on the side and no one cared, but if Obama or Clinton did that now it would bring them down to their knees and doing mea culpa's on Oprah and Dr. Phil. All these dudes in the business had some sort of violence or sexism or u name it towards women, but back then no one cared because it wasnt the YOUTUBE and TMZ era, now we get off on seeing thhis shit 24/7, we hope and pray for someone to punch the shit out of someone so we can debate it and then watch peoples lives crumble, we like this stuff, or the media likes to feed us this stuff because it makes us take our eyes off the ball and ignore the real elephant in the room. I can almost guarantee you that James Brown and Rick James and Jimi Hendrix and Axl Rose and Brett Michaels and Nikki Sixx andcountless others made "hookers" disappear one way or another, and no one cares about a hooker because to us they arent human beings, a chick in a music video to us is a ho, and if some rapper pisses on her, we say "well she asked for it" and "thats what she gets for being in a video", the double standard is always there, one that makes tiger woods a "victim" and his wife "wrong" for seeking money and custody of her kids. Go fucking figure

I highly doubt anyone was waiting for Chris to attempt to kill Rihanna. Please. This whole post is a little over the top. No one forgave R Kelly for what he did, and hardly any are forgiving Chris Brown for what he did. There's always gonna be ppl on the wrong side of the argument, we're just more aware of it now.

midiscover said:

After seeing his album cover and some promo shots I think he's courting a brand new demographic!

HonestMan13 said:

HA!!

IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!!

chris might have a few fans. but he won't ever be on top and have that respect. Plus he is a disposable artist anyways. Im surprised he was around this long. He has a few more years until people forget about him.

HonestMan13 said:

Indeed!
