Chris Brown Cries during BET 2010 Michael Jackson Tribute: But was it genuine? (Video)

Those pictures posted above are one sided -taken before he began to cry when he was holding back tears; if you look at the other pictures including the one I just posted a link to, they verify the fact that he DID cry. It is an emotional performance; how can one not be moved ESPECIALLY if he's performing a meaningful song.

But I love how everyone STILL tries to show Chris Brown as a bad person. Chris Brown is human, there are MANY guys who have abused women, and it's not fair that because Chris is a celebrity, he has to take a huge blow for it. We all make mistakes, but we learn from them.

OMFG...give me a break with this 'mistake' crap. Do you know what a mistake is? A mistake is leaving the bread in the oven too long; a mistake is accidentally sucking up your gf's lipstick in the vacuum cleaner...you don't mistakenly almost beat somebody to death. Those 'tears'(i didn't see any) were not genuine. Where were his tears during his countless interviews? He turned this entire tribute into the Chris Brown show. BET should be so proud of themselves. What a wonderful message they are sending. I am glad to see people calling this what is was...a big ass PR stunt to revive his career. Try again.

This is utter nonsense. May I just begin by submitting that I am NO Chris Brown fan, however, your 'article' just goes to prove that there are still way too many narrow-minded individuals out there who seem to believe that it is their duty to pass judgement on others' behaviour. I was once upon a time just like you; extremely bitter. Chris Brown did a terrible thing when he physically hurt his former partner, it is not excusable by any means. Had it affected you personally, I wouldn't be writing this comment, however, it is quite apparent that you are just another individual who assumes their position as judge. You're not.

I don't believe that this was a PR stunt to help Chris Brown's career or that his tears and emotions weren't genuine. Ya, what he did to Rhianna was awful and very upsetting, but that's a separate issue. Hopefully he will get the help he needs to overcome his problems, and like others have said, his performance at the 2010 BET Awards of course doesn't excuse his actions. He's not stupid--he knows that. However, his performance was GREAT, and he has a right to pay tribute to his idol. He will be judged by a power higher than any of us, so cut him a break--not because of his unbelievably beautiful performance, but because he deserves a second chance. Haven't we all done things we're ashamed of? I love Michael Jackson and thought what Chris did on that stage was very meaningful. Who knows, maybe he has been lookin' at the man in the mirror and is making a change?

This post was not intended to be a judgment of Chris Brown, per se, though I am not personally convinced that he has changed. (And I don't think that he should get a free pass just because he has talent.)

This post was intended to expose how easily manipulated people can be by displays of emotion. I'm speaking about all of the people who were on the fence about giving him a chance or forgiving him until they saw him cry at the BET Awards. A few tears, real or not, and we're all "Oh, Chris Brown, you're the greatest." Those people were easily manipulated by emotional displays. Thus, if you are moved by this to forgive him, you should understand, at least at some level, why women forgive and go back to these types of relationships just to get abused again.

Christina I have to agree with you its sad that out of a wonderful show that Chris Brown put on to pay his respects to THE LATE MICHAEL JACKSON, here comes people with their judgements and criticisms. First of all the man was paying his respect to MJ, this was a tribute to MJ not to Riahanna or the fans for sympathy. LOL are you serious people. Thats whats wrong with America today, once someone does something it follows them for the rest of their lives. I mean give me a break the past is the past... Leave it in the past. People walk around holding their nose up at other people, but cant look at themselves and what they do. I just cant understand out of this entire dicussion that all people can do is open up their mouth about Chris Brown trying to win back over his fans, wow many people were moved by his performance and thats their choice whether they want to except him or not. I dont see you all out their performing and giving tributes. & who cares whether or not you forgive him or not. Its not your choice to forgive him or except him. Give honor where it is due. Chris Brown, I pay my respects to you because Michael Jackson was a great legend and a person who would always be remembered and you paid your respects thats all that matters. & to these folks out here that are always walking around trying to find the negativity in people, always trying to bring up the bad things, and always trying to pass on judgement on other people. GET A LIFE AND WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN LIFE AND YOUR BITTERNESS. WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE OTHERS AS IF YOU HAVE NEVER DONE WRONG.

I dont respect Chris Brown PERIOD.... celeb or not. Once you abuse another human being, the damage has already been done....the man is cocky and arrogant goes around like he was justified and keeps right on seeking everyones admiration... and support! I have seen way too many victims of domestic violence whose abusers walk around like they did nothing wrong... thanks to the courts who just give them a slap on the wrist and people like some of you who defend them.... awwwwww look at poor chris brown... he deserves society forgiveness because he made a mistake.....tell that to the abused who had no choice in the matter until it was too late!!! Willing to bet this man will do it again to someone one just like those who defend him.... bitter at the sight of him... you betcha..question his sincerety...I would hope so!
