Already boasting a stellar line-up, the 2011 American Music Awards got quite the boost today when it announced that Chris Brown will be rocking the stage at the November 20th extravaganza.
Full story after the jump…
The dynamo talent, along with LMFAO, and Marc Anthony, join previously announced performers Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Clarkson, Pitbull, and Maroon 5.
Kudos to Chris for snagging yet another high-profile slot to showcase his talent. His ‘comeback’ campaign has been compelling watch, one which shows no signs on slowing. More power to him.

Great!! looking forward to it. My second best male performer, but i hope he sings live, cause lipsyncing a whole damn performance is no good look.
Great to see that he is getting back on his feet.

Congrats to Chris.
I am a lil disappointed tho cus this could mean that Rihanna ain t performing. I know she ll be on tour in the UK but I had hoped that she d cancel a date and travel to the US.
Her album is coming out the following Monday and she has yet to do any promo.I hope they telecast her performances.

Yes it was lifted sometime ago. I think they both knew how crazy the media would be if they appeared at the same event. I think they both have tried to avoid that headache. I see them both being strong enough now (they were just so young when all that crap happened) to handle whatever the media throws at them. I said all that to say, I see them both ATTENDING THE 2012 GRAMMY’S !…LOL

But on the real tho’, if his performance is that: A rehash of all his other performances bascially, then I fear he may begin to be seen as a won trick pony ala Trey Songz!! He DRASTICALLY needs to reinvent himself, and SOON!!

@mobwife I agree with you, I think Rih and Cb wants to avoid the media craziness if they attend the same show and plus, It probably will take the attention off the performances and the award winners if they attend the same show. The media would just focus on the both of them.

YAS! He has been on a role with the good news! Only up from here, new movie, and performing on the AMAs!!! …I know he’ll kill it regardless but what I think he should do is release Oh My Love as a single like now and do a dope performance. Every other song from F.A.M.E. wouldn’t cut it because he already performed it probably lol. Oh and he should do something like his BET performance like how he sang and then killed it with the dancing afterwards.His VMA performance was dope but as a stan I was tired of people saying he can’t sing based off of that. Anywho it just needs to be dope!
Now I shall pray that the Grammys in 2012 add to his comeback I mean they nominated him last year so I hope this year will only be better!

Yes Chris is such a flop. A local flop flopping everywhere. Chris didn’t have one of the biggest singles in AUS with Yeah 3x…and then sell out areanas there like the one in Sydney that held 20,000 people. Yeah 3x, Next To You, Champion, and Beautiful People didn’t slay in the UK. F.A.M.E. isn’t Gold in the US, AUS,UK. The F.A.M.E Tour is flopping, he hasn’t sold out any areanas. Espically not the Staple Center. Chris didn’t get a new movie role and doesn’t have another movie coming out next year meaning he has 2 new movies. He hasn’t been nominated at every relevant Award show this year or asked to perform. He has sunk into the sea of irrelevancy amongst male entertainers along with Omarion…
…LMAO!
Now that I’m done lying. Girl bye, girl boo. You are so mad. Give it up. Even your fave Ms. Fenty admitted he was winning and doing good. Stop being a troll and dance your ass over to a Rihanna post.

But you've failed to mention "Executive Film Producer Extraordinary" as just one, of his MANY, and growing, list of accolades: 'Takers' grossing, for Sony/SG, upwards of $93-Million – http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/2010/TAKER.php (OVER $87-Million coming from the TV rights Sony/SG sold to FX for 10-15% of domestic returns).
..In contrast, your faves, bloated $200-Million yet-to-finish "Battleship" will have to gross OVER $600-Million to be considered.."PROFITABLE"..!! I see a watery "Titanic-like grave" for that film (shortly to follow, will be the "Rihanna Navy" as soon as the "Harakaju Barbie" affixes her sights upon the European continent).
..I (too, like your fave) have a "dirty little secret to share": I now await with, bated-breath, to witness you 'Fenty-ites' 'spin y'all-ways' outta that…" man-made meltdown-of-a-disaster"..!!
@Jamir 21 — Do you think this show'll have a NOW (since confirmed 'CBreezy added') record-setting audience draw? I mean, EVERY TV-show Chris was highlighted/performed in, he's PROVEN himself as a 'BONA FIED' audience draw:
1.) "CBreezy" Feb 12, 2011 SNL appearance/performance drew a 3.0 Neilsen rating. (Rihanna's SNL appearance drew a paltry 2.0.. (Womp))
2.) "CBreezy feature" '2011 BET awards' audience-setting record 7.7-Million viewers.
3.) "CBreezy featured" DWTS viewer record-setting 19 – Million viewers.
4.) "CBreezy performance-featured" 2011 MTV VMAs which had 12-Million viewers, and in which HIS PERFORMANCE is STILL being talked about.

(Sigh..) Poor Rihanna.. Poor, poor Rihanna..
..While CBreezy, and “CHAMPION, VICTORIOUS Team-Breezy”…now “runs YOUR town”, “Gimmick Ri” lays in a hospital – faking injury/sickness – begging for sympathy; if ONLY she had “talent”!
..And it ONLY gets worse for ‘your Riri’, and you “Fenty-ites”: once the 2012 MLB season starts, you can BEST believe they’ll be a “new face” commenting on the L.A. Dodger blogs. Because, if “trends hold” (as they ALWAYS do) Matt Kemp will yet AGAIN default to “2010-MLB-season disaster” now that he’s again Rihanna’s “public” consort.
But what’ll be different THIS time, unlike 2010, “Dodger-fan hate” will be “nurtured, cuddled and pointed” towards, not only Matt, but the culprit and perpetrator who visited strife, misfortune, bad-luck, and disaster upon their…”happy” home: Rihanna Fenty..!!!
..HEAR ME: when I’m done with YOUR fave, I’ll make her T-H-E MOST-hated “pair of ovaries” to ever set-foot within that City’s limits..!! Every time she’s seen in public, in the Airport, Club – where ever, they’re going to “boo”, “cuss out”, “stone”, “spit on/at” her. I’m going to SINGLE-HANDEDLY run Rihanna out of L.A. — TRUST..!!!

SMH! It’s always the same illiterate Rihtard stans saying that are in here with their bullshit! You hoes needs lives! You bitches are on his dick harder than Rihanna was two years ago! Damn! The fact that you two PATHETIC bitches actually THINK you are dragging people when you say the same dumb shit over and over again is extremely comical. Ya’ll still on that hood & local shit! Then why the hell is performing at MAINSTREAM award shows that OBVIOUSLY appeal to a wider demographic?! EVERYTHING ya’ll say is ALWAYS bullshit and you know it! You two dumb bitches are STUCK ON STUPID!!
Anywho, totally saw this coming. I just figured it was a matter of time before they announced him. It makes sense, he’s one of the hottest acts out right now and he will be done with his tour at that time. Plus he ALWAYS brings ratings whenever he performs anywhere, I.E. DWTS, The Today Show, etc. It was a smart move to have him perform.
I wonder what he is gonna come up with because he has performed at three award shows so far this year and not to mention his tour. I wonder if it gets hard for him to do something fresh everytime. I kinda have a feeling he might take something from his tour and then add something a lil new. I guess we’ll see.
I guess this means that Rihanna WON”T be attending! That’s a relief! I don’t want any drama or ridiculous media coverage and I certainly don’t want to suffer through another one of her performances. It’s a win win situation!
I’m still not really here for the AMA”s though. Besides Chris, there’s not to many people I want to see. I mean J Lo? Marc Anothny? Justin Bieber?! Ugh!

Hopefully he will upgrade his performances because the last time he gave me a Wow moment was when he appeared on DWTS. His performances at BET and MTV were good but not outstanding.
Beysus will not be there to perform so this is Chris Brown’s chance to win Best performance of the night this year. Unless Lady Gaga or The Throne decide to show up.
