Chris Brown’s teary tribute to the late King of Pop has proven to be the proverbial “Get Out of Jail Free” Card for the scandal-bitten crooner, whose career was wrecked in the wake of a domestic violence scandal. Chris’ tears as he croaked through the emotional last leg of his sing-dance hat tip to an icon were reportedly so convincing that now even his victim is ready to forgive him.
Crocodile tears? Boo-Hoo Brown gave what some of you believed to be a genuinely emotional performance at Sunday’s BET Awards, breaking into tears during his tribute medley to late idol Michael Jackson.
However, celebrity tattles tell a different story. Us Weekly snitches insists that the tattooed felon, 21, used tear-inducing drops to spontaneously make himself cry before taking the stage to belt out MJ’s anthem “Man in the Mirror.”
“He rubbed it in and he started crying,” gushes a backstage spy.
Do I believe he used eye drops? Nah. It’s probably really hitting him that he has a Rihanna clone for a girlfriend, no career, and anyone in America with the good sense God gave a billy goat is done listening to his squeaky voice crack all over tracks. That’s enough to leave anyone bawling like a baby.
Chris Brown paid a tearful tribute to his idol, music icon Michael Jackson, with an emotional performance at the 2010 BET Awards on Sunday night. The controversial star sang and danced his way through a 7-minute medley of the late King of Pop’s hits at the urban awards show. Brown, 21, broke down in tears while performing Jackson’s 1987 anthem “Man in the Mirror,” drawing a standing ovation from the mesmerized audience at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
One cad defends another: “I think it’s cool. I think people always deserve a second chance. I know my fans gave me a second chance. Whatever his personal life is, and this goes for me and him, his personal life is his personal life. Nobody has the right to place judgment or make any judgment on anybody else’s personal life when they’re not directly involved with them. He plays golf, that’s his sport, that’s his love that’s what people love him for. They don’t love him for the other stuff they’re talkin’ about. So my hat is off to him –I support him. I hope he gets back on the field and does his thing, cause he is the best at it…..” Chris Brown Talks Tiger Woods on Mojo In The Morning, Wed., Feb. 24
