Sam Is A, you can just forget about all of that. Judging by what we've now all seen, she IS the victim, and Chris Brown's ass is indeed a woman beater, period! The proof is in the pictures.

As far as CB being a "talent we can't afford to lose" - LMAO, yeah right! Chris Brown is nothing more than Usher and Michael Jackson's love child, hell USHER is just another Michael Jackson himself when you really think about it, let alone Chris Brown! You nailed it on the head when you said he swag jacks Usher and MJ, which obviously leads to the fact that CB has no originality whatsoever. He's not this "iconic figure" in the industry that people respect, straight up he's just another R&B singer out there who currently happens to be on top (well, he WAS on top.)

Dude has only been in the game for 4 and a half years, which is not long at all, industry standard-wise. He's only released 2 albums, and his fan base predominantly consists of females in the 12 - 18 age range. He is not respected and critically acclaimed as an artist, and he's nowhere near God's gift to the industry and has not contributed enough to the industry within his short-lived career to be considered somebody of great importance, he's just not on that level yet (and never will be, after all of this.)

The fact that he fucked up the way he did THIS EARLY in his career, when everything was really taking off and the stars were aligning for him in his favor, means he took everything for granted over a girl, and decided to end it all when he beat that girl. The industry is not going to want to work with him now, after what we've seen him do. Artists in the industry are not going to want to associate their names with somebody who physically abused another hugely successful artist in the industry, period. His career is finished before it barely began, so you and every other CB supporter out there better start looking for somebody else to idolize because he's done.
