This post is about CHRIS BROWN's video, not Rihanna. I am not a die hard fan of either, but I have to say that although Rihanna is a very attractive girl, she does NOT sing, dance, or perform well enough to the deserve the hype.

Rihanna did NOT push "Run This Town" up the Billboards, if anyone did it was Kanye and Jay-z. I actually lowered the volume on her part.

As for all the "woman beater", "attempted murder" labels, some of you have gotten up in the media hype (albeit fake pictures, eye catching headlines, etc) and lost perspective of what we THINK we know transpired between two teenagers. "Beat her to a pulp"? She suffered no broken bones, short/long term hospital stays; hence, the sentence he received. The police leaked a close-up polaroid photo of a swollen, bruised lady, with minor bleeding.

That said, however she came at him, he is wrong for the way he responded. He should have never put hit her back. But knowing what I've seen of women who have nearly been beaten to death, this kid does not deserve to be put in the same category.
