@MJ Fan: STFU already!! If you were really a MJ fan then you would know that MJ loved CB! He called CB up on his 18th B-Day and they even talked about working with him one day. CB was supposed to go see MJ on the day that he died, so obviously MJ still admired CB because he wouldn't have agreed to let CB come see himif he didn't.

Of course CB is not on the level that MJ was yet and no one said that he was! CB never claimed to be the next MJ he is just always stressed how that was his idol and musical inspiration (like Usher and JT). He can't help what people say on his behalf, but of course it is a compliment to be compared to MJ and he takes it as such as any artist would. FYI it is NOT just his fans/stans that compare him to MJ. Tommy Mattola, Quincy Jones, Jermaine Jackson people who actually knew and worked with MJ too said that see in CB what they saw in MJ.

While MJ had been in the business since he was 5 yrs old, CB has only been doing this for 5 years period. MJ was 34 when he reached the peak of his success with 'Thriller'. Obviously MJ was a naturally gifted entertainer, but at the same time he had been in the business for all of his life and had decades to perfect his craft. He wasn't coming out with records like 'Man In the Mirror' when he first started, so neither is Chris.

Chris started doing this 'professionally' at the age of 15, he has only been doing this for 5 short years! He hasn't been in the industry long enough or have life experience to be make the type of music that MJ was making at the age of 34. CB's music will grow as he grows and works on his craft. Performance wise, Chris is already there. That's where people get the MJ comparison from when he hits the stage. There is not other male r&b/pop artist in the industry that can put on show like CB! INone! Not Usher, not JT NO ONE! I have seen CB live several times, and trust he is incredible! He performances at awards shows have nothing on his concert shows!

Just because YOU don't see (or refuse to acknowledge) in CB what others see doesn't mean that he is not innovative and extremely talented. Just becuase YOU didn't see the reason why people got emotional during his performance at BET awards doesn't mean there was no reason for them to! FYI it was NOT just his fans that got emotional during that performance, it was obvious it touched a lot of people because he got a standing ovation that night! It was all over the major news programs, Regis and Kelly, The View, The Morning Show, GMA all said he did an incredible job! It wasn't just his fans!

Clearly not everyone feels the same way that you do because when MJ died the main person that was on everybody's tongue to do the trubute was CB! MJ's mother Catherine, was the one who asked BET founders to let Chris do the tribute that he should have done last year!. Jermaine Jackosn was the one who introduced CB and embraced him after his touching performance! MJ's own family members love and support CB so who the hell are YOU to tell people that CB is not on the level of MJ and that he can never reacj that level! Please sit your high and mighty ass down somewhere!

MJ HIMSELF said in an interview with GMA back in 2007 that JT and CB were his two favorite performers. He didn't even mention Usher! (Youtube it) If the man himself said that CB is an incredible talent who the hell are you to say otherwise! Get over yourself!

Furthermore, selling records has NOTHING to do with talent and being innovative you asswipe! Everybody knows that the most talented artist these days are the ones that are selling the least. Selling records is more about marketing and 'it' factor now a days.
The time when artist sold records like MJ was in his Thriller days is over! The internet wasn't around back then for people to steal music. Buying records was the only way to get music, so moving units was as difficult back then. CB has only realeased 3 albums and non of them have been on the 'Thriller' level.

If there is anyone close to MJ in this industry it IS CB! Deal with it! You are entitled to your own opinion, but don't come in here arguing with his fans and telling people why CB isn't innovative and as talented as the next! You are just speaking your weak ass opinion and not the truth! Realize that your opinion is NOT fact!

If you honestly can't or refuse to acknowledge CB's talent and gift as a performer and artist, then that's just your damn bad! So please STFD and STFU!!
