    @DJ: Yes the ‘Prince’ of pop is back to reclaim his thrown. Ha! I love it!

    @Oh No: The NY post is a messy, irresponsible, non credible, BS rag mag! You can’t take them seriously and they are not a credbile source. You acn tell by them mentioning her name what they were trying to do. They see him getting a lot of shine, No. 1 single and movie, and they just have to find a way to bring him down! Like tha haters in this post…F*CK THEM & IGNORE THEM!!! We have his back and as long as we keep supporitng him, he will be fine!

  33. ******** September 15, 2010

    @BLUEKID

    Chris is on his way to being King of what??

    Definitely not Pop, sorry that throne is filled forever, same for the Queen
    Definitely not R&B, sorry that throne is filled forever
    Definitely not Rock, sorry that throne is filled forever

    What King is he going to be???

  34. kody September 15, 2010

    the king of music b**** stop hating

  35. UH OKAY September 15, 2010

    @KODY

    He’ll be the King of Music??? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    Yes in the land of CB stans and stop using derogatory words like “b****”. Your immaturity is showing.

    If Sinatra, Elvis, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, Freddy Mercury, etc. are not considered the King of Music, There is NO WAY IN HELL CB will be considered that.

    There is no hate here because I actually appreciate Chris Brown’s music & talent but some of you stans go way too far and sound dumb as f***.

  36. JAZ0195 September 15, 2010

    Why are yall so pressed people have the right to express their opinnion if they think he’s king then fine let them think that . Gosh!!! if it bothers you then oh well.

  37. kody September 15, 2010

    @uh okay whats rihanna the queen of

  38. kody September 15, 2010

    if chris brown never hit the devil then all you guys know that chris brown would be one of the best ever at the time he was the best male singer

  39. elisa September 15, 2010

    Chris Brown is talented but I’m getting tired of the fans comparing him to other artists and acting as if he’s a musical genius. If Chris is great, there is no need for exaggerations which come off desperate and petty. He’s been through a lot and he’s gaining back his place but he has a lot more to prove before people place him above other artists who are just as talented.

  40. elisa September 15, 2010

    @KODY

    Rihanna isn’t the Queen of anything and Chris isn’t the King of anything #nowthatissettled

    @JAZ0195

    If people expressed *negative* opinions about Chris Brown, I have a feeling you wouldn’t be telling CB fans to get over it and let them say what they want #hypocrite

  41. elisa September 15, 2010

    @KODY

    No Chris wasn’t the best singer just the most popular. Big difference

  42. Bluekid September 15, 2010

    @ Kody

    You’re my BFF! 🙂

  43. Bluekid September 15, 2010

    Rihanna is queen of the goat herders.

  44. Bluekid September 15, 2010

    ~waving at Plain and Simple 🙂

  45. kody September 15, 2010

    @bluekid haha your my bff @elisa my view chris brown is the best most talented male singer out

  46. divaclw September 15, 2010

    rihanna stans are so sad….u claim RIHANNA IS STILL SLAYING CHRIS! but u still take time out ur day to comment on his ish. so u must care, so stop acting like u don’t.

    CHRIS IS AMAZING!!!! I CAN’T WAIT 12 MORE DAYS!!!!

  47. kody September 15, 2010

    @divaclw i agree 1000 percent get a life haters and stop hating on a 21 year old

  48. Soulful Roses September 15, 2010

    Rihanna doesn’t have a reign. Thats why her stans are here 🙂

  49. Bluekid September 15, 2010

    @ Soulful Rose

    Isn’t that the truth! ROFL!

  50. UGh September 16, 2010

    although not a huge CB fan i’ll have to say this is BEST trailer for a video i’ve seen all year. I CANNOT wait to see the entire video.

    sidenote*
    why are ppl constantly bringing up Chris’ ex-girlfriend name in CBs posts and vice versa?
    They are not in any sort of competition with each other. Stop being delusional…..smfh

  51. Misty September 16, 2010

    YASSS Chris! I shall be buying!!!

  52. PLAIN AND SIMPLE September 16, 2010

    @BLUEKID

    Britney had that same dress on at her own ritual. I checked out #4 Lord help us

  53. ??? September 16, 2010

    Confused how do u buy the video when it comes out can u buy it with a regular gift card???

  54. Lady September 16, 2010

    Im about to watch this trailer I know its good!

    I know ya’ll said ignore the foolishness but what do ya’ll mean it might only be a Top 50 hit? I’ve learned NOT to listen to Rihtards predictions for the szimple fact they are always wrong and I always get my laugh in the end. Ya’ll said Deuces wouldnt even crack the Top 50 or pass ICTY but it did and its a mixtape single.

    And I dont get it. Is he charging people to see it early prior to release? Either way since its for a good cause and all proceeds go towards his Symphonic Love foundation for music so I’ll pay the what is it $2.99? This is a good look. And I’ve waited about 2 months for it lol 😀

  55. MyWay September 16, 2010

    OMG I love it! I will definitely be contibuting to the foundation! This is a GOOD LOOK Chris. Hold your head and keep it positive .Damn the boo-birds and naysayers!

  56. JAZ0195 September 16, 2010

    @ELISA Yes I would be saying the same thing so don’t make assumtions about me.

  57. Truth Teller September 16, 2010

    Are you f****** kidding me? Superhuman OMG. Chris you’re talented but you’re not too bright. This video is sooooo audacious it’s laughable. This video is so arrogant that the Webster dictionary should use this video as the meaning of the word. You can’t outrun, outsing or outcry your way to salvation. Your situation in the industry is no longer just about your beating of Rihanna, it’s you. Your arrogance and entitlement is your biggest fault. You were talented before your lover and you’re talented now but you let your ego get in the way of your progress. Teambreezy accept all things you do, so in the grand scheme of things their ignorance won’t help you. It’s like the blind leading the blind. It’s easy to impress those who love blindly, it’s harder to move those who’s love you have to earn not with talent but with character.

  58. VA STAND UP!! September 16, 2010

    @Soulful Roses: Hahahahahaha!

    @Lady: Where have you been all damn day?? I missed you in here slaying!

  59. X,Y,”and Z” September 16, 2010

    @Blue Kid/Team-Breezy fam’ –

    K, I JUST saw this over on hitsdailydouble (I told y’all, I’m really, really, really curious to see his first-week’s numbers) I want y’all to “chime in”, are these “good numbers”?:

    “Right behind the Linkin Park guys is Atlantic R&B tout Trey Songz with Passion, Pain and Pleasure, his fourth album, on target for 220-230k, a substantial increase over his 2009 release, Ready, which moved 131k on its way to a total of 785k.” <–Here's the link:http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/newsPage.cgi

    Now, I was looking for their predictions for T.I.'s just-yesterday-released CD, but I saw nothing!
    As I'd previously mentioned, with a failed reality-TV show, with tepid-interest in his concerts and now, him being Usher's opening-act, do y'all think these numbers should be…"stronger..?"

    Shouldn't T.I. do FAR-better? I think his last CD was well over 400k HIS first week. And, most-important, if T.I. can get some… "push/momentum" from 'Takers', shouldn't Chris, even-more-so, with his work in 'Takers' AND his return to #1, on the charts, with 'Deuces'…??

    (I think I'll post this in the new Trey Songz thread. Chime-in y'all….)

  60. nicsala September 16, 2010

    XYZ

    They have the wrong date for T.I. album. It’s been pushed back. He’s still recording.

  61. JAZ0195 September 16, 2010

    @TRUTH TELLER If people are so offended by this video then they shouldn’t watch it. Chris shouldn’t have stop doing something he likes just because people are so judgemental geesh!!

  62. Me September 16, 2010

    Dang. This kid works HARD AS HELL and gives 200% every time. Such a RARITY in the music biz .

  63. VA STAND UP!! September 16, 2010

    @Truth Teller: Um….what the hell are you babbling about?? You came up with all that from a freaking 1:28 clip? It’s not even the full video it’s a freaking trailor, we haven’t even seen the finished product yet! How does this make him arrogant?? He is arrogant because he continues to work and entertain his fans? You think this is based on his actual life?? You think he is refering to himself as ‘superhuman’?? I mean really… WTF is your point?

    It is FICTION! It’s a mini movie that goes with a song that didn’t make the cut from his last album. What does it have anything to do with Rihanna?? What does it have to do with his ‘situation’ in the industry?? My God, do you really believe the ish that you just said??

    You Rihanna stans (cause you know that’s what you are) are so desperate to bash this dude ya’ll just be straight making up stuff now. SMH! Please pull your head from completely out of your ass before you comment next time.

    FYI: I am not some delusuional stan who loves everything he does. I still don’t even like this song that much, it will have to grow on me. But I as a fan can appreciate the fact that he is experimenting with his artistry and is trying something new. He is even using this as an opportunity to raise money for his new foundation Symphonic Love. I am at least willing to see the finished project before I judge it. Maybe you should try, but I doubt you will because you are too stuck on STUPID!!!

    You have some nerve to call his fans ignorant. If you look up the word ignorant in the dictionary you will see a picture of….YOURSELF!

    PS: Change your name cause clearly you know NOTHING about truth! SMH!

  64. ??? September 16, 2010

    Trey+Chris Brown is back=Trey will FLOP….

  65. Lady September 16, 2010

    How does this make Chris arogant? Lmao. Ya’ll stop at nothing to get people to focus on something other than his talent.

    I’m not a fan that loves everything he does. he he does something stupid I’ll admitt it. its just a part of life. Hehas to learn from it so what are you gonna do really? Funny how there are few people who have sat down and talked to Chris who will claim he is arogant.

    And yes he is so arogant thats why he is using this for his new Symphonic Love foundation. Lmao. Idk what ya’ll are even babbling about anymore.

    @VA Stand Up
    Sorry. I wasnt in the SLAYING mood today lmao. I see I missed alot in the other post. But it was probably nothing new. Just delusionals doing what they do best.

  66. Lady September 16, 2010

    OH NO

    ^^^^^^^^ MORE ANTI-CHRIS BROWN PROPAGANDA FROM THE MEDIALOID

    #TeamBreezy better not fall asleep. The struggle is far from over!!!!!!
    ——————————————
    WOW! What a sloppy story. Lmao. You can always tell when people are on their b******* when they start getting info wrong. Because for one Chris is not a “rapper” as they claim him to be in this article. I guess they got their Chris Brown confused lmao. Now wtf does that have to do with anything? Is it like a slow news month or something? Cuz I ve been hearing/seeing the lamest things a person could think of lately lamo.

  67. Secret Voice September 16, 2010

    I saw this trailer about a month ago on youtube.This is definitely my type of film although I know it’s a video fpr Matrix!

    To TeamBreezy…Understand the haters are fearful of Chris coming up because they THEIR queen and when I say THEIR,I mean THEIR queen is free falling.She has played her LAST sympathy card .She is like the sheep that cried wolf.The only people ‘appearing’ to side with her are racists and bitter Blacks that have guilt about not helping someone that dealt with REAL abuse or they have been abused themselves but either way it go,I think all of us working with a full deck can see they are not wrapped too tight!

    Chris moving right along handling his business…My little brother is doing his thing!

  68. Secret Voice September 16, 2010

    “for “matrix.

  69. Secret Voice September 16, 2010

    @ Lady,I saw that mess! That is nothing but unsubstantiated hearsay and it’s a damn shame that the media actually printed such bullshyt!

  70. Oceanmate September 16, 2010

    @VA Stand Up, I co-sign with you 1000%. You said exactly what I was thinking.

    @ Truth teller/So-Called truth before you slipped and went psycho and invisioned “all Videos as reality or non-fiction rather than entertainment….stop and think!!!! Videos are all Fictional and based on a story created from a Song!…now look up Delusional and find your picture in Webster!

  71. Jazybelle September 16, 2010

    Everything is getting so exciting Teambreezy lets keep it up with love and positivity Chris gonna slayyyy and they know it

  72. MissNelli September 17, 2010
