Last night, in aid of his new album ‘Fortune‘, Chris Brown graced the 2012 Billboard Music Awards with a live rendition of his smash hit ‘Turn Up The Music‘.
However, despite excelling on a dance front, today saw the star come under fire for allegedly ‘miming’ to a pre-recorded vocal as opposed to singing live.
On the receiving end of a series of ‘indirect tweets’ from P!nk and one time collaborator Joe Jonas, Brown and his performance have struck up fresh debate today. Debate, centered around his alleged inability to sing his own songs live.
More below…
joe jonasWhat happened to people singing live??? …..
P!nkOne day if i lipsync, i hope i do it as well as him….
So now we ask:
Is Chris Brown really deserving of the criticism?
Watch his performance here and weigh in below…
Yes!
I like Chris and all BUT he is meant to be a singer. If he’s not going to do that he should quit singing and just be a back-up dancer.
Today people are calling Britney (last non lipsyncing performance was like 10yrs ago) a legend! LOL
He’s doing the same thing!
Two wrongs don’t make no right.
Chris can sing live, he’s just resting on his laurels at 23 years old, which I find by far more pathetic that Zombney Spears performances.
Anyway, R.I.P Robin Gibbs and thank you for the music. Art least that man could sing!
Britney Can’t Sing, Put Together! Chris Can Actually Sing!!! When You Stop Singing, You forget How To. I.E. Rihanna
He has not sounded good live in a while. He also smokes newports on the regular which is definitely not good for anyone, especially singers. I can understand why he lipsanc.
Truth of the matter is that he is a jerk!
how come no one cares about bieber lip synching boyfriend? everyone just has to hate on chris now.
Bieber’s too easy a target. He will be irrelevent once his fans grow up.
I hate that little c***, but he wasn’t lipsyncing. He should have, considering he sucks ass live. But he laughed during the song proving he was singing live. Again, he probably should have Britney Spears the performance, he is awful.
& yes I am talking about Justin.
He was lip synching some parts, the verses and chorus but his mic is on so he could do the rapping and some other parts.
Too busy robbing and beating women to rehearse?

Right on Officer!
Let’s keep it real, he was lipsyncing, they’re not lying. When it comes to performing, I expect more from my fav, & lipsyncing is not part of it. If Team Breezy doesn’t mind Chris not singing live, that’s the standard they have as fans. I would mind if Beyonce didn’t sing live, but maybe that’s just me.
I’m a Chris fan and I agree with you 100%. I hope when he does the Today Show he sings live like Usher did. Teambreezy really need to tell him they want to hear him sing live like he did S.O.S. for HAITI. I mean he sang his ass off with a live band.
Chris need to go back singing live, Take a listen to both songs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_sDT_4RuD4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_sDT_4RuD4
I’m sure he can do it. The fans just need to be more vocal about what they want from Chris.
he was not dance the whole time on this clip u posted everyone is not King B most singers cant dance and sing live not like he was dancing and Usher sounded bad cause he was out of breath
beyonce got a iron lung i swear
BUT BEYONCE HAS LYP-SYNCED Before. To a backtrack a specific parts when she doesen’t want to sing, its what Her, Usher, and many other celebrities do, it is what Beiber did the same night, lyp-synced half. Rihanna, Katy perry and all other singers willl not pretend they are singing when they are not, and Beyonce lyp-synces a lot so…
Beyonce lipsyncs a lot? Girl please. Beyonce is the epitome of a performer.

Who the hell is talking about Beyonce here ? This post is not about her. And she can actually sing life. Go live your life, little one.
Maybe his vocal coach is scared he’ll throw a chair at her, rob her phone and beat her black and blue if she suggests he learns to sing live. I don’t know… just a thought.
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3n6quXkrK1rpmxxto1_500.gif LOOOOOOL
I don’t mind the lip-singing. The fact that he’s given that same performance over and over is my issue, no creativity.
He SHOULD sing live period, he’s a singer. If wiggling his happy ass across a stage is all he can do them he should have been a background dancer.
Let’s face it. Billboard is based on your songs and music, it’s not a concert, you don’t need to entertain people who paid to see you. SING! instead Chris does everything but and worst of all it’s the SAME thing everytime. The day of the lip synch is starting to end.
Point blank…YES!
lip synking or not chris still puts on a better show that most of your favourites so whats the problem.
id rather him save his voice for his tours than waste it on these punk ass award shows who dont wanna give him props.
My fave is Beyonce, she sings live at every performance including award shows, don’t use that “save your voice” excuse. PS my fav puts on a better show than Chris & she doesn’t have to lipsync *Kanye Shrug*
My reaction to this: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3da0yDkuP1qh18nl.gif
save his voice ?
where is that voice ? cuz he lip-sync in his concerts too !
no he doesnt put on a better show than most the thrill is gone. compare his performance to Usher’s. the concept staging and execution surpassed anything chris did. as for thatr saving your voice excuse …wow shot yourself in the foot with that one dear
His performance of “turn up the music” has gotten really boring doing the same thing over and over. He needs to switch it up every now and then. I always loved when he started off with a slow R & B song and then ends with a dance. This whole lip syncing is getting a bit too much. He is a singer first, isn’t he? Not even on dancing with the stars is his entire lip syncing acceptable. He lost major points for this and other performances since the AMA’s. Some persons love it when he dances others prefer when he sings. He should give us both. CB where have you gone? I swear somebody has “kidnapped” him.
He difinitely should have attempted some live vocals in there somewhere…
Its not like the song is vocally challenging at all by far
Dancing is cool, but there should be a dance break or something for him to shine in that area… him just putting on a dance spectacle to his vocal track isnt considered a real performance…
Is not like he has the best voice anyway…
Even Britney does SOME live vocals…
here should be a dance break or something for him to shine in that area…<– thank you. Some cool, creative way for him to incorporate the other elements of him. Nope, that's b/c dude may not be as creative as we think.
PLEASE NAME ONE SINGER WHO DANCES AS HARD AS CHRIS BROWN THAT SINGS LIVE??????? WHEN MICHAEL JACKSON STARTED DOING IT NO ONE SAID BOO.. M*********** NEED TO LEAVE THIS YOUNG MAN ALONE!!!! AND PINK OF ALL PEOPLE THAT B**** DON’T DANCE AND THE JONAS BROTHERS CAN’T SING !!!!
Beyonce jumps up & down & she’s singing live the whole time. P!nk does some acrobatic s*** in the air & still sings live. Stop using that tiredass excuse.
BEYONCE DOESN’T SING LIVE ALL THE TIME …THATS ONE…ALL PINK DID WAS A FEW FLIPS AND SOME SPINS..THATS NOT DANCING SWEETIE ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE HAS SOMETHING HOLDING HER UP …
B**** please you’ll find more performances of Bey jumping up & down singing LIVE than you will her not doing so. Beyonce is known for her amazing LIVE performances so don’t try it. & what P!nk did almost no other artist can do, she was literally spinning while singing.
pink wasnt even doing real acrobatics..so sit the hell down…when pink start doing some cirque du solieil type s*** then speak…other than that shut the hell up
W****, dont you DARE envoke MJ in this s***. Because say what you want; MJ shut a show DOWN! Vocally Chris Brown couldnt touch michael in any stage. Michael would sing a song LIVE for 15 minutes straight (Youtube Man in The Mirror/ The Way You Make Me Feel at The Grammys) . His makeup would be running, his perm sweated out, he had danced and until he was halfway dressed and on his knees… and he did that s*** LIVE.
How dare you.
You owe ERR-body an apology for yo s***, ho.
VMA when Beyonce showed up stomach to the world was not singing live.
@TARBABY Lmao that last line was err’thang b****!

MJ had other dynamics to his show that still made it good. Chris doesn’t sing and his shows are boring. They lack depth. He has cool moments and concepts but they fall ultra flat. ex: the boom box as a prop on Dancing with the Stars was dope..but what else after that? Nothing…smh point exactly.
W**** dont get made cause you were shaded to silence. Now Have a SEAT; next time i wont be so ladlylike.
Don´t get me wrong cos he is a STUNNING dancer and the lipsyncing is justified with all that dancing…. BUT what for?… why doesn´t he become a dancer and that´s it? Nobody cares about him singing (sure he knows seeing he always chose dancing over singing a damm song) and his music is not great or interesting at all
Back-up dancer is what he should be (and Rihanna a model for the same reasons, why the try to release music if u are just a model? 🙂 )
best comment ever !
besides me thinking that if Ri actually invested in her vocals she could be ‘It” I agrees with everything else./lol Go be a dancer then Chris…lol
In all honesty his performance was average not because he lip synced but he did the same thing,performing TUTM how many times? otherwise he still provided entertainment but what pisses me off the most is how gullible people are I mean YOU ARE NOT A FAN AND DONT LIKE HIM…YES WE GET IT!!! but for people not to question the motives of pink(was surprised by Joe jonas as he is supposed to be a fan) this b**** has an album coming out sometime this year and I caught on very quickly her intentions,Chris is an easy target for celebrities to push their promo and get attention but guess what? CHRIS HASNT SAID S***! GOOD BOY!!! keep that mouth shut dont give it to them.
Pink is one of the best SINGERS live. Of course she has something to say on her twitter regarding a singer who lip syncs. She has always been against it, look it up before u shade someone u don’t know.
I SECOND THAT!!!!
i 3rd that she sings
Cosign
So he can drive and beat a chick’s ass at the same time and can’t dance and sing at the same time?
http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls98sv5NGq1qgqcle.gif
Everyone takes this way too seriously. He’s giving you a show with larger then life energetic, hard hard dancing. Chris Brown can sing and has sung live on TV plenty of times and does so during slower songs at his concerts. Do you really think it’s possible for him to do what he did on stage and sing live?! No? Do you expect him to just stand there and sing while the dancers do all the work? No, thats not who Chris Brown is as a performer and I dare you to show me any performer who dances as hard as he does AND sings live.
Exactly.. maybe he should work smarter and not harder. Just b/c he dances harder than any other ‘SINGER’ doesn’t make him the better performer. Again, we come to see a show from a singer/ entertainer not a sole dancer. If we did we would watch ABDC and SYTYCD. Chris can still dance enough while giving some attention to his singing and have an awesome show. Stop focusing sooooo…much on dance you over shadow the reason why people buy your albuma…b/c you sing ass!/lol
Scrolls to the top and watches beyonce…there’s your artist. I am a chris fan, no doubt, but his perfromances are getting a little predictable. He is starting to remind me of Ciara…the only diffrence is that chris can actually sing. He could atleast sing the first verse and do a little 1, 2, 3 routines and then go hard for the 2nd verse and bridge. But to lip sync the who song is unacceptable, escpecially since he really can sing.
@chilldude
Janet Jackson never sings live but her performances are interesting. Your fave is too busy hitting the club and snatchingphones to work on his craft.
#datswhywebadumad
any luck getting fame to go double platinum boo boo?
one…Janet’s performances USED to be interesting that’s one. secondly i should ask you the same thing in reference to that Navy you call yourself the queen of, because if that has anything to do with Rihanna..she’s talentless at least he can dance sing and act!!!!
I think Rihanna can sing look up Fool In Love, Complicated, California King Bed…she has some good songs too. #justsaying
Don’t forget all that gay s** Chris has.. Andre Merritt and David Hermosillo. WHOOOPS!
If and I mean If Chris was with a male it’s not your place to put things like this on the web. You know there is a law against bulling. Remember the kid that jump off the bridge which a person just like you putting s*** like this on the web. They have spotters looking for people like you or maybe you should be reported. They can easely get your IP address
darren you are hilarious. So was it bullying when Chris came for an ‘ex girlfriend’ in theraflu since what he was saying was mean.
Please don’t try to take the moral highground as a chris brown fan, it doesn’t suit you. You sit back and cry when he’s criticized but defend him when he attacks others forgetting that had he not been a celebrity he would be serving time for what he did to Rihanna.
@Darren Girl Boom! Aint know one scared of Chris’ Lawyers. People have chris’ tea; he is really sloppy. People got text messages, pictures, all types of s***. He wouldn’t want a lawsuit; that why he pays his extortionist religiously.
Chris is really gay/bi??? O_O I need to see proof….
Janet jackson sings live
If he’s promoted as a singer, he should sing. I don’t care if he’s an amazing dancer cuz he’s proven it over 5 years ago by now. SING DAMNIT! I know he can. I also know he’s no Usher since not everyone can sing and dance at the same time, but if ur being promoted as a singer, with studio albums, singles and s***, SING!
The same goes for anyone who lip syncs. Including Britney whom to this day I don’T understand the praise.
And who told you anybody praises Britney? Who does it? lol
Britney lip syc all the time she even uses doubles for her dancing. Every award show or even her concerts she use it. So now because Chris a black young male it all of a sudden a bad thing
Also Rihanna is another one who now users backtrack. The drunk b**** can’t sing from the jump and when she do try to sing live it always a f***** mess here lately.
Rihanna doesn’t use back tracking….just back up singers…..
The point is Chris Brown is lucky to even be in this industry still and hes been lazy already. Already halfasing performances and single promotion. He still has a lot to prove like should the industry and public keep giving him chances to prove hes serious? Chance after chance
Chris is an amazing performer, but the fact he just threw on the studio version and lip-synced really bad just put me off. *cough britney*
The least HE and any other mimer should do is pre-record some live vocals, and actually have the mic ON and improvise at parts.
I mean justin bieber had playback too during the falsetto parts but he sung ontop of it which proved he was singing live at some parts.
Sure it can sound a mess like when Usher does it (heavy weird breathing) but if it’s done well it can be pulled off.
Thank god we have beyonce (billboard) and gaga (Judas&Tours) who used hand-free mics and showed how to sing with it on well.
i see the hatin ass navy are really feeling themselves today. Mad cos battleshit flopped.
Mad cos Ritas about to scalp Riwhorena’s wig.
Mad cos chris exposed her for being a ho.
I think that’s the one, the last one about being a ho. Thats what making you mad girls but its ok, dont feel too bad about Rislutna being an industry merry go gound.
I don’t get what the big deal is. When you are dancing like that lip-synching is acceptable. Not everyone can sing live and dance at the same time like Janet Jackson. She has a very special and unique gift. She does it so well that people accuse her of lip-synching. Before you say she does (because she doesn’t) Watch this and tell me she lip-synching…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzlocBK52DQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVUSRWn9K9U
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7WloYmdTJM
Yes. Shes lipsynching to a very good backing track. I even think she may be singing into a dead mic and allowing the vocal to play in the background to make her miming seem more realistic and thats cool,
Because Janet always serves fire but chris doesnt and thats the problem. ALL OF HIS PERFORMANCES ARE THE SAME.
Sigh…see what I mean? Janet is so good at what she does people think she is lip-synching. Trust me she’s not. For one, home girl runs 5-7 miles A DAY!!! She has the ability to dance and sing at the same time. And second, I have seen Janet live SEVERAL times. She does not lip-synch at all. She sings live.
I know that some shows don’t allow live singing for whatever reason, like Soul Train for example. In a situation like that, Janet won’t even bother to wear a head set. That is the only time she lip-synchs. Other than that, Janet always shows us why Janet is the QUEEN.
Chris? lip syncing? well why don’t you try to get your fat ass on stage, get a mic and sing your heart out WHILE moving around and dancing the hardest choreography. get up, do it YOURSELF! so if he beat a woman, that’s history, it doesn’t define who he is forever. Chris is an amazing artist doing his thing. what happened between him and Rihanna is personal and none of the world’s business. fame has its darkest sides, and here it is, no privacy and constant rumors. go ahead and get famous, don’t compare your life to his till you’ve lived it yourself!! yeah he is a cocky b****** who swears and tells how he feels in rap songs and that makes him who he is. he has fans and thats the most important thing. let him lip sync, he doesnt have the lungs to both dance like mj AND read lyrics. and, haters, youre spending as much time on hating as on loving, you just haven’t realized that yet, you’re fans too, unconsciously.
tramp we aint talking about US… We are talking about HIM! stay on topic tramp!
Was joe jonas shading chris? Weren’t the 2 buddy buddy the few past months?
Lovers Quarrel?
I was highly entertained by his performance! We really can’t expect Chris to be doing a performance of that caliber and then to knock out the vocals that song deserves. I could see if he were standing still and lip syncing (*cough cough* Celine *cough*) but he was tearing it up! I would rather him do the performance he gave than to be a out of breath hot mess like Usher…and Usher’s wasn’t even 100% live. So let’s please stop being so hard on someone who is so talented and gave us an amazing PERFORMANCE. When he performs “Sweet Love” and other ballads then he will sing his ass off. Until then, I enjoyed seeing my dude break it down as he did and I will continue to support him for what he does. He’s a badass dancer, singer, rapper, & actor. Let’s not try to negate his talent like WHITE HOLLYWOOD is trying to do. Pink needs to sit her washed up ass down somewhere. She actually refused to lip sync in her videos and held up an entire day of production behind her nonsensne. I know she thinks she is the performance expert since she was twirling upside down a few years ago onstage, but nobody is checking for her performances. & JOE JONAS?! lmao. Talk about trying to be relevant. Nothing more needs to be said.
TEAM BREEZY!
Actually people do check for Pink’s performances. She’s just been out the limelight before a few years. But whenever she has a project out , she’s a top-billing for award shows.
and the thing with Chris is that this isnt America’s Best Dance Crew. If you turned off the lyrics to the song and he didnt mime anything, it still wouldve been the same performance. A DANCE performance. If i wanted to watch him dance his ass off while miming, I’d watch his music video. He couldve at least tried. And thats why Chris will never be the great performer everyone wants him to be… because of attitudes like “we cant expect him to….blah blah blah” You guys put limitations on him and put him in a box and let it slide which is why he’s getting the backlash he’s getting now. You never hear some one say “you cant expect Michael or Janet or Beyonce or Usher to do X because of Y. REAL performers go beyond expectations and always grow and outdo themselves which is why theryre so respected. But all i have to say is, O well…..
Just watched Usher’s performance and it was excellent. Wish he would’ve done Climax, but he is a PERFORMER. I will refrain from saying anything negative about Mr. Brown.
#thatisall
The “save-your-voice” excuse is tired, old and bullshyt. He’s not singing “I Will Always Love You” while doing acrobats nor is he “going on tour” the following day so what is he saving his voice for. Dizzy stans make up any kind of excuse. The same goes for every performer. If you are a “singer” (which is part of being a PERFORMER) then sing dammit. For me, its more about the effort. Example. Usher danced his ass off and sang live, but didnt sound perfect. but the essence of his performance was real because he gave it his all by dancing his ass off and still singing live. Beyonce does it, Usher does it… if these lessors are trying to even gain the success and respect as these two, then they need to stop half-assing it and do your f****** job and stop using crutches (i.e. over the top dancing, theatrics, fans backing you up).
Ooop. to the person who said chris brown has gay s** that is a lie.
We ALL know the only people he beats are women.
I stan for Janet so I obviously have NO problem with an artist who lip-synchs.
I enjoy Chris but I haven’t really been feeling his performances lately. He’s a great dancer & I’ll continue to support him but it’s time for him to create some ICONIC choreography like Janet’s “Rhythm Nation” & Michael’s “Smooth Criminal,” to name only two examples.
keep michael out of this. Because when “smooth Criminal” was being performed his mic was still on and he was atleast ad libbing. Chris dont do ish, EVER.
chris justin ….ect all lyp sync say what you want about rihanna but she sings
Don’t feel too bad for CB. I think he can take a little constructive critism. Afterall he is the comeback king :-).
“Is Chris Brown really deserving of the ?” <– Hell yeah if not more! Dude has been skating under the bar for a long time and people are still missing the real point. The reason why his lip syncing is getting so much attention is b/c his overall performance is lacking. We know may stars lip sync and/or sing along with prerecorded tracks but most of the time their performances are so dynamic the crowd doesn't care. If you would have told me Lady Ga Ga's VMA performance when she was a guy was lip synced I would have said… who cares?/! She left her whole soul on that stage. The same applies to Beyonce, JLo, MJ and even Rihanna's team better understand what elements are need to produce a good LIVE show. It's more than just being an awesome dancers, having cool costumes and a cool concept. It has to be brought to life and the performer ( who is a SINGER FIRST ) has to fully commit and sell that s***! Every time I watch Chris I walk away feeling like I did just that…watched him from a distance. Compared to ppl like Beyonce..she has a cool way of making the audience and viewer feel like apart of the show on top of having awesome vocals ( whether it's sing along or not, you can still hear her voice loud and clear ) Do me a favor and compare Chris to the one ppl love to criticize their live performances… Rihanna. Once you get past her vocals being off, evaluate the overall production. Her musical sets are always interesting and have some type of breakdown, she has good use of STAGE, and like her mentor from back when ( BEY )… she's always fully committed to the character at the moment. You know how MJ would step on the stage and just stand still, looking into the crowd but oooooooze energy that would consume you? Bey ( who also has a signature stance ) and Ri do this with their eyes and with the way they move when performing. They are always conscious of the camera… all that s*** counts! Chris, we know you are probably one of the best dancers living… but we don't know if you are one of the better singers and we don't know how creative you really are. When and if you bring those elements into your live shows you can then earn the right to be considered the best r&B artist. Till then… somebody need to take that for the moment… sorry.
Mariah Carey stands there and lip Syncs too damn much,.. and they compare her to Whitney and whitney never lip syncs,.. i think ppl choose who they wanna f*** with .. but i feel all ARTIST KNOWN TO BE A SINGER NEEDS TO SING!!! he should sing then have the music break down where he can put the mic down dance.. then get back to singing
what da f***….if de man want to lip sync let de man lip sync cuase we all know chris can sing live and plus he is performing turn up the music and total dance song jeeezz ppl these days
And WTF was LMFAO doing and why was it not critcized? They think they sing, dance and rap but it all looks and sounds bad. Oh but wait 1 is BARRY GORDY’S (MOWTOWN RECORDS FOUNDER) SON so of course he can’t be criticized for his bulsh** singing, rapping & dancing! The glaring hypocrisy…
Beyonce has done 1 of best ever performance on billboard Chris dance like no others on that show so what if he recorded earlier? Rihanna c*** always record her s*** earlier no one has never talk about that
I know I already left a comment but i think some people are missing the point:
– Lipsyncing is justified when doing that type of dancing
– Problem is he always does it, it´s like he doesn´t care about the music and the singing, and so do the audience. He needs to be a dancer and that´s it
– Usher and Beyonce have sung live while dancing…. yes but not with that heavy dancing and for delusional Bey stans, the girl also lipsyncs at times, thing is she does it really well (not having a go, just saying, I know she can sing). But yeah those two are better artists, they give you albums, songs, singing, etc
– No need to have a go at veterans who are already legends for lipsyncing (I read somebody named Celine). Those legends already did what they had to do to achieve their status. They can do whatever they like from now on. The problem is Chris Brown should do it NOW, it´s his moment, now or never (and it seems it will be never, his music is just not it). And specially don´t act as if singing IWALY, or Celine´s ballads or Mariah´s classics is not a reason to lipsync, cos it is, even if they are not dancing at the same time. Well it is if you want to still have a voice after a few years of career. Do u know what it would do to your voice singing those songs again and again always live? Ask Whitney (RIP the greatest live singer EVER), she always sang live and she had huge problems cos of that. Being the boss she was she did it anyway but it would have been better for her voice (you know these girls were not singing “Who run the world, girls” or “the dj got us falling in love again…” at their respective primes. They were SANGING with their amazing voices, fragile at the same time cos of how many qualities those voices reunite in one
well chris should downgrade his choreography to allow him to sing live I mean it’s not so you think you can dance !
P!nk can shade WHOEVER she wants when it comes to singing live AND dancing , look at her from when she first came out she SUNG AND DANCED. She’s a performer , and it’s not that Chris can’t sing because he does sing his slow songs , it’s that if he KNOWS he can’t sing a certain type of song and do hard choreography then he needs to decide if he’s going to sing in certain places and dance with other same goes for my fave aswell.
If your a performer , then PERFORM ; and these Usher comparissions need to stop . Usher is Usher , and Chris is Chris.
At the end of the day most performers Lip Syncs from time to time EVEN BEYONCE! So please stop lying to yourself! But non of the people in being discuss in this post Dances as hard as Chris Brown, so until Beyonce, Pink or who ever has something to say dances like that young man! They need to have several SEATS!!!! Usher does it, Janet, Micheal, Jlo, anybody who really dances does it! So whats the big deal. We have seen Chris Brown Dance & Sing Live b4 so Kill it with all the Drama. #Damn If You Do Damn If You Don’t… if he was to sing live and sounded a mess because he was out of breath (Than you guys would have said he should have lip Synced / Pre-Recorded Vocals or If he would have just sung you would have said he should have dances!) I see why people don’t read comments on blogs! SMH
APPLAUSE…..APPLAUSE!
VERY WELL SAID! 🙂
i’ve always said , Chris Brown IS SO OVERRATED , he is a mediocre singer ! his performance are amazing as dancer that’sall. there are so many artists out there tha are more skilled but have 1/20 of his attention.
Just some FYI for that ass… Chris’s choreography is more intricate than most performers but that doesn’t mean he dances harder. I can but won’t pull up dance performances of other singers who are hitting their choreo just as hard. Again, just b/c his choreo may have more…and counts, and complex tempo changes doesn’t negate that other performers are exerting and/or putting just as much energy into the choreo they have. There’s a difference and those artist I speak of still sing along or sing live while exerting themselves. IJM.. stop stunting this young man’s growth with excuses.
I’ll rather Have Hip Lip sync Than rihanna sing LIVE omg she is atrocious I’m sure many agree
110% CO-SIGN
AND F*CK A THUMBS UP OR DOWN BUTTON! 🙂
if he was lip syncing then he was doing it all the time,but just because he won a grammy all of them is catching feeling nit picking sh1t trying to fine sh!t they all can f-ck off,keep doing you Cb haters will be haters.
I will never. Understand why the navy comes for cb performance, when rihanna is lazy and sounds horible live, backtrack, dance break, whatever she does on stage it sucks. To say chris is too busy to rehearse from a ri fan, when rihanna performances always seems impromptu. No rehearsals and she just decided to move her body after seven years. I really can,t. I,d prefer cb smash a perfoormance lip syncing tahn watch rihann. If you fav is a mess in a department why come for another. The navy need to go get some movie tickets. As much as i hate lipsyncing ,why come for chris when yall praise flopney as an icon who lipsyn her entire career. Madonna since the 80 s. Leave cb alone. If the industry cannot stop madonna, janet and britney why come for cb. Double standards i see.
CB Lip sync all the time and TGJ ride his nuts like he’s the best ever, i rather have someone like rihanna actually singing with back track then singer not singing.
The trip part is usher get on stage and dance just as hard but sings live.
The boy should just be a dance instructor.
Chris doesnt have the VOICE that Usher has.. but hes still super talented! ..lets not forget that today we consider Britney Spears a legend, and no one will argue that
imj
But Britney has LEGENDARY accomplishments , such as 2 diamond albums , 2 no.1 debuts 100 million ALBUMS sold.
Rihinna don’t have the voice like Beyonce, Kelly, or Brandy. Usher sounds great and Chris & him have two different sounds in their voices. At lease Chris not drunk while he’s performing.
You sound really crazy! WTH do you mean he doesn’t have the vocals of Usher? You obviously have never seen Chris Brown live…..NO MUSIC, NO DANCING, SITTING ON A STOOL AND SINGING HIS ASS OFF!….. “TeamBreezy” huh?????? 0_O
Britney Spears has never had strong vocals she is just like MADONNA. However, they both snag within their alloted range so I’ve always liked them and their music. If you were truly TeamBreezy you would know CHRIS BROWN can sing. Go back and listen to his voice on the recently released tapes her Chris, Omarion, Mario, Tiarea Marie (sp?) others were just sitting around and Chris was just singing. Stop playing……TeamBreezy” huh?????? 0_O –> _/_/
I agree he should sing live. All of that extra dancing is unnecessary. I’d rather hear a good vocal performance with a stellar dance break or two than just a hyper choreographed slide show.
See that clip someone put up of chris, I wouldve rather he go that route. No it’s not perfect but it works. People will understand your flaws when you sing live. I will say he use to be so much better before he became an obnoscious s** freak.
And Beyonce has lip synched tons of times. She uses prerecorded backtracks that are changed in the studio for live performances. She has lip sung tons of times, people are just too dumb to notice so I say why not.
FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @HONEY_DIP11 I FOLLOW BACK!
I don’t blame them. I got annoyed watching him lip-sync. The past couple of televised performances he’s done, has been lip synced. Then it was totally obvious he was doing it. I’m Team Breezy all the way but I’m not going to let my love for his music overshadow the fact that I didn’t become a fan because of his dancing, I became a fan because of his singing. He still put on a show but it was like, come on now!! I know he’s become more famous because of his dancing, but now it’s like…we KNOW you can dance, now show us the vocals too.
And what are your comments on Bieber and Usher who sang over backtracks and danced like Chris? why is all of this hatred thrown only at him? that’s the real question. all of this media hatred is to break him and move him out of the music indsutry and what a shame it will be with this YOUNG BLACK MAN IS BROKEN TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN. I’d suggest you appreciate him now. I’ve lived long enough to see talented acts shoved out in favor of industry insider favorites. They mean Justin Bieber will be the NEXT MICHAEL JACKSON and they will be damned if Chris Brown and his true talent stands in the way of that scheme! Just sit and watch the coming weeks unfold with constant hatred and BS about Chris mark my words on this May 22, 2012!
Dancing is so overated anyways, whats waving your hands about go to do with the song your singing? There’s no connection at all!!
Just sing the f****** song!!
LIKE THAT LOWLIFE PEICE OF COUNTRY TRASH TAYLOR SWIFT? She always looks and sounds HOMELY BUT SHE IS LOVED BY THE US MEDIA surprise, surprise! SYAU, everything Taylor does is OVERRATED & THANKS TO KANYE WEST! She should send him Christmas & Birthday presents each year for life! Yeezy made her the so called media darling she is today!
Wow, why so angry? All i said was dancing in general is over rated.. no attack on chris brown at all!
Also Taylor doesn’t dance, she sings live all the time!! Even I can see, her voice isnt great, but her voice is good enough to sing the songs she Writes herself.
The Kanye west thing is old, its time you moved on from that!
Also Taylors send album sold 590,000 in its first week, 11 months before the Kanye things.. so dont tell me, shes only popular cause of that.
One other thing.. STAY MAD!
Im sorry but he is deserving up the criticizism to be honest he deserves a slice of humble pie he always make side comments about his concerts are better and how other performers are sub-par to him, i know he was shocked when saw that the general public was not all that entertained by the same wanna be rocker destructive teenager dance routine … Usher showed him how its done how to have class ,creativity,and sexuality without out going the same over sexed over “Waka Flockish” hyped -up route every damn performance and still put on a show. i will say that Joe jonas has no right to talk because he flat out can’t sing but atleast he doesn’t lip sing .
When did he said other’s were subpar to him? He is very humble but he is not A S****! He should be able to brag on himself like Pink, Joe Jonas, Taylor Swift and anyone else in the music industry. why does he have to held to a different standard?
And what general public? The media didn’t need to tell me what Pink and he nonamed husband had to say. Everyone clapped and other clebrities – I KNOW THEY ARE JUST BLACK CELEBS SO OF COURSE THEIR OPINIONS ARE NOT IMPORTANT – but they tweeted praise for Chris’ performance why not balance the reporting? No the WHITE AMERIKKKAN MEDIA is only interested in reporting the negative comments by WHITE PPL! As a Rihanna stan you should recognize that as much as WHITE CELEBS & SOME WHITE MEDIA DOG HER OUT ON A DAILY BASIS!
I think it’s really silly to put Chris down for lipping. He’s a performer and he is usually quite physical, so he should be cut some slack. It’s not like we haven’t heard him sing live for over a decade like Britney Spears. Chris always gives a good balance, if his level of performance wasn’t so high than I would have the same expectations for him that I would place on so many other artists that don’t do half of what he does on stage. You always get an elaborate show when Breezy performs and it isn’t humanly possible to sing perfectly while doing a trillion back flips. Let’s just be reasonable. People like Chris, Ciara and Janet should be able to get a pass because they’re fascinating on stage and I prefer that than an artists that’s standing still for 5 minutes offering screechy vocals.
http://www.thepagewithroyalkev.com
Well said but he was singing over a backtrack not lipping….LOL (cute I’ve never hear dof that term 🙂 )
This is really f***** up! Who cares if he llip-synched? You got Britney, Rihanna, Katy, and so on who all lip-synch all the damn time but yet Chris is the only one who gets called out for it?
Katy Perry and Rihanna both sing live NUMEROUS times.
Hell no Rihanna here lately has been using backtrack because she be so drunk. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing because if you are drunk or high this would be the right thing to do. Have you notice here lately when Rihanna sing live it sounds horrible? Katy usually sing live but I don’t know about last night at the Billboard awards .tho
Who are you listening to? Because Rihanna either lip-synchs or uses a back track. Katy does the same thing too. My point is everybody lip-synchs sometimes and nobody ever demonizes them for it but why Chris?
yeah atrociously quite embarassing to watch
BUT HE IS SINGING! THAT’S MY PROBLEM WITH THIS NON-ISSUE! If he was merely moving his lips then okay but he was clearly singing!
Entertainment is just becoming so MILLI VANILLI!!
can u hater tell me what his doing here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MSTIV8aOKao
Them vocals was turr-bal (terrible).
Please don’t use that as your grand display of his vocal ability. Because we all know why he lipsyncs, because he cant sing. End of story.
Please STFU. Chris did a great job on that song just like Crawl & With You which he sang live. You just hate Chris so anything he does you are going to hate it. So it’s not just the singing live. End of story
Them vocals was turr-bal (terrible).
Please don’t use that as your grand display of his vocal ability. Because we all know why he lipsyncs, because he cant sing. End of story.
………………………………………………………………………………….i coudn’t have said it better
STFU and grab a seat! If you fools will recall Chris was suffering from a HEAD COLD and he made no excuses, performed and killed it! You can clearly hear he was congested!
I am definitely not a Chris Brown fan, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with lipsyncing in certain situations.
Look, if you are a performer (ie. Beyonce, Ciara)….meaning you are doing more than just singing….then there are times when I will accept lip syncing. Everyone paid money for an entertaining performance…not an artist huffing and puffing on the stage during lyrics. Now if you are a mellow singer (ie John Legend, J.HUD), then lip syncing is unacceptable; they aren’t doing anything that warrants it.
HOWEVER, Chris was not giving a concert. It was ONE performance…so I just don’t think he should have used it. And since he did, I would have at least expected better dance movies. He’s still using those SAME moves for each performance.
**Chris Brown Billboard Performance**
Creativity: F
Effort: F
Execution: C-
He can’t sing, that’s Ok, a lot of people make records and they can’t sing.
Madonna words in this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84RF87WQeAU&feature=related
My belief is this and this goes for Chris and everybody else….If you cannot sing and dance at the same time then ease up on the choreo because anything other than that is just a cheap version of the video…….Go jogging and sing at the same time….get your breath up…..but for the love of God please SING LIVE!!!!!!!!!!
Beyonce use playback too just like everybody else, get over it, is not a crime.
yeh. make the ‘dancers’ do some ‘workout’ and sing live withoutta a lil breath for it. lol. how’d you ‘dance’ and have some perfect vocals? lol. standard to have backing tracks for that. ya didn’t know?!
still thing… is to dance less… but the fish will do. what hte choreogrphers do whitout it. greetz.
Aaaand this is why Usher will always be better than Chris Brown. How can y’all come up with all these excuses for this dude lip syncing every time he does this song? S*** y’all drag Rihanna for her dance performances but at least she’s trying to improve and is singing LIVE. What’s CB’s excuse? Dancing too hard to sing? Isn’t he supposed to be a singer and he’s 23 years old. He should be at his peak right now. Go look up performances by MJ, Usher, Beyonce, etc at 23 and you’ll see a whole lot better than this. They sung, danced, and kept their clothes on. And y’all call this dude the next king of R&B? Y’all wild.
all he does is lip sync…i think hes just like Rihanna, trying to stay relivant in the limelight with all these features and FOUR singles released in 2 months..the problem is, hes running out of ideas…im tired of seeing this “hard” chris brown..wheres the old on at..all this damn rapping & s***…its all in his head with the SAME ‘ol tired dance moves..its like take a break, redeem yourself & try again..s***, n**** produce, reuse and recycle if you need to s***..but cant nobody tell him that because I SWEAR, chris brown is the most cocky, stuck up, cant do wrong person i know..i mean just look at his twitter..”dont waste your time waiting for me to stop being me” and “if you dont like me, too bad, do you, be better than me” like when i seen those, i couldnt do but laugh..like EVERYBODY been better than you since that Febuary night in ’09…but hes still cute, thats the only reason why i anticipate him sometimes..cause hes cute & got swagg…
Chris Brown hardly ever sings live at award shows so why is everyone making a big deal about it now?
When C.B. performs I don’t watch for his vocals, I watch for the dance moves. Being able to dance well is what he mainly known for. No one can do all that dancing, flipping around w/o being out of breath. I’d rather him dance his behind off and lip sync then be breathing all hard in the microphone while trying to do all those crazy dance moves.
I think some people are still hung up on the whole “Chris beat Rihanna” situation and that’s why they’re bashing him.
All artist lip sync at some point in their career. Get over it!
I agree with you! I think Rihanna claiming he was talking about her with a line in a free remix song has some ppl shitting bricks. However, Chris Brown was not lip-syncing he sang the lead vocals….danced while the pre-recorded backtrack was doing the BACKGROUND VOCALS …….and when he stopped spinning he RESUMED SINGING THE LEAD VOCALS. Just listen you can clearly here his OWN vocie. Having seen Chirs Brown live and singing acapella I know what he sounds like live!
THIS IS COMPLETE B******* F*** JOE ONAS & PINK!
F*** PINK & NON-SING JOE JONAS!
How is Chris Brown not singing live when he was a breathy as Justin Bieber and Usher Raymond. Were they also lip-syncing? And How do you know that both of these WHITE AMERICANS were talking about Chris Brown? Joe Jonas ass wishes he could do half of what Chris Brown does in or out of the studio! I REMEMBER WHNE THE JONAS BROTHERS RUINED A DUET WITH STEVIE WONDER! F***’ EM
***BLACK, BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED AND HANDSOME CHRIS BROWN! DO YOU! Funny when Madonna sang over a back track while performing at the Super Bowl in Jan 2012 i heard NOT A PEEP FROM PINK or JOE JONAS! Hummmm…..I keep forgetting the MAJORITY RULES right?
why is it about race? Chris Brown is the back voice on Joe Jonas’s “See No More”…the point is his lip syncing..so let me break it down for you:
1. he was breathy because of the dancing and not the singing…he had the track playing and he would lip sync the song except for some parts so it would SOUND like he was singing. you notice each time he did say a few words, it was AFTER he did major dancing..and Usher was breathy because he was singing the entire song, which takes energy and concentration…Justin was breathy because he was trying to just “rap” his lyrics all in one piece instead of taking pauses…and you know he was really singing because you could hear his girly effort over the back track…
2. theres a difference between lip syncing and mouthing words..lip syncing is acting as if you are singing the words but your not…mouthing is when you let the audience sing WITH you and you STILL sing..chris was lip syncing and thats a big to me is A BIG ASS RIP OFF..i came to see you perform, not dance like you do onmin a club & add on lip syncing..
now, the reason its “out of place” to lip synce is because he puts on this act like he uis capable of doing any & everything. but yet, you cant sing and dance at the same time. its possible, look at beyonce and janet and kelly rowland and ciara..im not saying EVERY word, but just let us know that YOUR singing for the most part…
#DontSpeakAboutItBeAboutIt
Chirs was not lip syncing and the fact that I could hear his “breathy voice” while singing proves it DUH! Of course it was from dancing but I would not be able to tell the difference had he not been actually singing into the mic!
LIKE I SAID:
***BLACK, BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED AND HANDSOME CHRIS BROWN! DO YOU! Funny when Madonna sang over a back track while performing at the Super Bowl in Jan 2012 i heard NOT A PEEP FROM PINK or JOE JONAS! Hummmm…..I keep forgetting the MAJORITY RULES right?
If DRUG ADDICT Pink – since folks like to harp on the past lets not forget that PINK IS A DRUG ADDICT for you youngs ones who didn’t know! – really had something to say she would have addressed JUSTIN BIEBER who was singing over a backtrack while attemping to dance just like Chris Brown. No DRUG ADDICT PINK just sucked a** and praised him as though he was the second coming of Michael Jackson just like the media!
SAY WHAT YOU WILL, BUT ALL I SEE IS A PUBLIC LYNCHING WITH BLACKS FOLKS STANDING AROUND PER USUSAL, HELPLESS & HOPELESS! How many more Black artists have to be ABUSED & CASTDOWN before Black folks WAKE the F*CK UP?
MJ never touch a child but they road his back to the grave literally about it! Whatever Whitney Houson’s shortcomings why did they dog her entire existance literally up until the day she died? If you can recall they were calling her everything but a child of God on Thursday then she died on Friday. Now ppl celebrate her accomplishments?…hummm 0_O
Lip Synching is not bad at all. You just can do it all the time! King MJ Lip Synch but didn’t do it everytime.
For Lessors coming for Pink:
Pink was actually the only woman to sell out Stadiums while on her last tour and that was at a time when beyonce, rihanna, and britney were on tour, so to say no one is checking for her is false.
And doing the type of acrobatic performances she did for the funhouse tour while delivering a damn near flawless vocal delivery is something most artist CAN NOT do, the energy and SKILL level is way to high for beginners and Pink has been practicing acrobatics for years.
Basically all I am saying is the woman can talk all she wants because she practices what she preaches. Jonas on the other hand…
Sometimes lipsyncing is appropriate. he did more than enough dancing.
He was ok…Don’t think it was any harm. I’m sure he will perform live soon after this though
I do think that Chris Brown needs to balance it out a bit. Those of you that say that beyonce is singing live are a joke, since when has having a backing track been regarded as a live perfomance. It is ok if people dont like Chris Brown but let us not put other artists on the pedestal and pretend as if they are not doing the same thing. FYI Shouting is not singing which is what Pink does and as for Joe Jonas the only reason the song Chris wrote for him did not work is instead of him trying to make the song his own he was just Swagger Jacking Chris.
WTF!
Lmao.. Beyonce’s backing track is her live band and background singers.. & thats only when Beyonce is dancing, & usually she would still be singing anyway during choreography.
Oh no, Beyonce sings over a backrack too from time to time while pefroming live! I saw the Beyonce Experience an dhave the DVD. She IMO is an amazing performer but at times 9see youtube live performance) she will sing then put down the mic to dance yet you still her her voice singing the song. That does not mean she lip syncs just sings over a backtrack! ALL GREAT DANCE-SINGING PERFORMERS DO! This is not new they just want to pick on chris Bron and stop his forward progress! As I said this sheme might just succeed this time although I pray not!
1) AS A CHRIS BROWN FAN I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE OF A BALANCE WITH SINGING AND DANCING AS I SEE HE IS TALENTED IN BOTH AREAS. 2) WHY IS BEYONCE BEING BROUGHT UP! QUIT TRYING TO KEEP HER RELEVANCE WHILE SHE IS TAKING A BREAK FEEDING BLUE IVY. 3) AS A FAN OF BEYONCE, MAMA DOES LYP SYNC TOO! IVE GOT ALL THE DVD’S AND SHE DOES SO LETS NOT GO THERE. 4) WHAT YOU GUYS ARENT REALIZING IS THAT ALL THESE NEGATIVE REACTIONS ARENT ABOUT CHRIS SINGING LIVE. PEOPLE ARE STILL MAD AT HIM ABOUT 2009 SO THEY ARE USING THIS AS A REASON TO ATTACK HIM. IVE SAW JUSTIN BIEBER, KATY PERRY, AND USHER ALSO LIP SYNC THAT NIGHT AND THEY RECEIVED NO BACKLASH. CHRIS IS AN EASY TARGET BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GET A REACTION OUT OF HIM SO HE CAN LIVE UP TO HIS ANGRY, WOMANBEATER REPUTATION. THAT IS THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION. 5) JOE JONAS… YOU ARE NOTHING WITHOUT YOUR BROTHERS AND THATS SAD YOU SHADED CHRIS WHEN HE WROTE YOUR LAST SINGLE. 6) PINK… U ALMOST BROKE YOUR NECK LAST TIME YOU PERFORMED SO HUSH!
No they want to GET HIM OUT OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY and I think they might succeed this time around! Here are the tricks:
1) Break his fanbase (he is not a true artist he cannot sing, dance, perform, write songs, compose music etc)
2) Constantly critcize everything he does (they have called him a wife beater, dog breeder, phone stealer, now a “lip syncer” etc.)
3 Make him toxic in the pubic eye so no one will worlk with him out of fear of a backlash from the media as they are doing now! And this may also effect his CD sells which is what they want to see happen this go around. The backlash from last yr didn’t stop him so they had to turn up the heat to make it sure happens this go around!
4) Print harsh and horrible things “has beens” like that nothing Pink and her “never was” ugly a** husband (who had my twitter account suspended, funny how they can dish it out but can’t take it f*cking cowards), homewrecking w**** Miranda Lambert and other racist hypocrite lowlifes have to say!
They are out to destroy him and it’s just sad to watch. Ppl can joke and laugh but the public lynching of this kid isn’t cute and it makes me wonder after he is gone who will be next?
No Chris Brown can not sing and most award show performances are lip synched anyway so it’s not a big deal stop making a fuss over it
I guess pink and joe jonas is mad they’re not performing at the awards. Where’s their careers at?
Sitting on the couch at home on twitter? oh…………
B**** sit, PINK HAS SOLD WAAAAY MORE ALBUMS.. SOLD OUT ARENAS and she aint a felon like chris brown. Jonas brother sold more than CHris brown as well. HAVE A SEAT!
Thank you! Salty b*tches sitting at home on a couch talking sh*t about Chris Brown while praising both Justin Bieber doing the same thing as CB) & Katy Perry.
I don’t understand why this is such a big issue all of a sudden. We all know Chris can sing live. I will admit it’s a bit underwhelming. He could at least record the vocals live and just lip-sync to that which would add a new element to songs because taking the vocal straight from the studio recording is soooooo obvious. But in all honesty, no one wants to see Chris just stand on the stage and sing. His showmanship is all about the spectacle and his greatest idol did it ALL THE TIME and no one on here will ever say that MJ couldn’t sing.
And to all the Beyonce lovers…open your ears…SHE LIP-SYNCS too. You can’t shake ur a** and run around the stage like that all the time and not get winded. SHE IS NOT SUPERWOMAN. She just uses a pre-recorded live track and choses the parts she wants to actually sing.
Are you kidding me!!!!! At the end of the day the dude has more talent than any performing artist out now! It’s already been established that he can sing live and he can sing period! Your allowed to have some bad days I mean Justin B sounded like pure garbage but ppl are going crazy over him…. so please put him up against any male performing artist now and there is no competition. Obviously the state of music today has the majority of your judgements clouded!!! Please do your homework before you make an ignorant comment about talent. He is an all around entertainer and a damn good one at that. I rest my case!!!
This is f****** retarded! How come no one called out Britney’s lazy ass for not even using a pre recorded track, BUT F****** USING THE ACTUAL TRACK TO SING S&M WITH RIHANNA AT THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS???????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pink, shut the f*** up b**** because you never called out Britney and Joe Jonas, your soft ass will never be as talented as Chris Brown. Just because he was involved in a incident, doesn’t mean people should be treating him unfairly! Also, Janet’s stank ass used the actual track when singing the tribute at the Grammys! Also, how come people didn’t talk about Madonna using THE F****** ACTUAL TRACKS AT THE SUPERBOWL???????????
I DONT GIVE A FLYING F*CK how much talent this KID has. The POINT of the matter is that he has no excuses. He is only 23! It’s not like he is 33. He should be able to sing and dance at the same time. Go run on a treadmill or something. Come on now CHRIS. You could do better then that performance (but he is so busy smoking with that new girlfriend of his its killing his vocals). BTW, He is a Jerk, Asshole..HE is just a d***** bag period. IDK why you typical women KEEP defending his punk ASS. Just Women & Bigotry ass men support him.
I am SO tired of people defending these lame ignorant artists. They don’t CARE about us. If one of us walked up to Chris Brown on the street unannounced to get a autograph or something, I am almost certain HE would push you away. He is arrogant. He has allowed the FAME to get to his head. It shows in his tantrums and attitude. He RULES the world. Were just his puppets. Period. HE should NEVER be compared to Michael Jackson. Michael was a great. He never notably acted like Chris Brown has. The least chris could do is provide us WITH good vocal abilities AND his wacky ass cant even do that. #MovingOn. How about that new Frank Ocean album? lol..
So what about your Rihanna? What’s HER “excuse”? She’s a 23-y/o who can neither sing, dance, nor sing and dance at the same time!
Oh..!! And I saw that recent video of Frank Ocean onstage singing. He was with some rock band singing some like back-in-the-day song, or something of the sort – STRAIGHT RUBBISH!! Frank Ocean isn’t a “singer”; not in any conceivable sense of the word. He’d have been better off lip-synching himself!

While CBreezy now ‘basks in the glory’, Rihanna’s ‘Battleship’ plunges into to the dark, fathomless depths, drowning all onboard.
Chris Brown – 1 ….. Rihanna (Harvey Levin, Oprah, Tyra, Robin Roberts) – 0..
I say let “THEM” talk – I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! Their bitterness is all too obvious, it gives me nourishment! I have no idea who this “Pink” is, and to tell the truth, I don’t care! She’s not relevant to me, nor my existence. And John Legend is a “legend” in HIS own mind, and should just stop using that ‘model girl’ of his as his beard! Not even hungry/starving Africans want his charity! As for “me”, and “my existence”?! *Meh…* Well, I’m just trying to make it home SAFELY from the store with my Skittles and Ice Tea..
X,Y,”and Z”
People will have something to say regardless of what Chris Brown does…..half of the performers on stage don’t sing live….and most of them stay in their comfort zone. Chris can’t win!!!!!!!
NO he doesn’t deserve all this criticism. He SANG some of that song – listen to how ‘speakers blow’ sounds on the recording and how it came out of his mouth last nite. I respect him for not bothering to give these snarks credibility by defending himself.
He belted it out 6 months ago on the AMAs. And he belts it out live. And yes, why a double standard for CB when plenty others lip synch.
I’m fine hearing his music and watching fly and pound the dance floor – I JUST WANT SOME NEW CHOREOGRAPHY!
OMFG EVERYONE WHO HAS A PROBLEM WITH HIM LIP SYNCHING TO EAT A D***. THIS MAN GAVE YOU PERFORMANCE. NOBODY CARES WHEN MADONNA LIPS, BRITTNEY, JANET, JLO, USHER, BIBER, BUT IS NOT OK FOR CHRIS. HE IS A PERFORMER. NOW IF LEONA LEWIS GOT ON STAGE AND LIP SYNCED BY ALL MEANS BOO HER SS TO HELL SHE’S A SINGER NOT A PERFORMER.
if he wants to lip sinc to his song then let him it is his song so stop hating haters
ALL Y’ALL TALKING ABOUT CHRIS Y’ALL ARE REALLY STUPID OK CHRIS BROWN IS AN AMAZING PERFORMER DON’T Y’ALL GET IT HE DANCES HIS ASS OFF SO MUCH THAT HES OUT OF BREATH AND CANT REALLY SING… SO F****** WHAT ALWAYS GOTTA TALK S*** ABOUT HIM. SO F****** NEGATIVE GROW UP Y’ALL AIN’T GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO THEN DOG HIM. OK, LOOK AT ALL THESE OTHER DAMN ARTISTS LIP SYNCHING AND HE RARELY EVEN LIP SYNCS WHEN HE STARTS OFF HIS PERFORMANCES HES SINGING AND THEN HE STARTS DANCING. DURING THE BILLBOARD PERFORMANCE YOU CAN HEAR HIM SINGING MOST OF THE DAMN SONG SO GET OVER YOURSELF. CHRIS BROWN IS AN ENTERTAINER LET HIM DO WHAT HE WANTS STOP TRIPPIN……I MEAN REALLY!!…..THE MAN HE GOT A STANDING OVATION FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!! HELL MOST OF THE DAMN ARTISTS CAN’T PERFORM WORTH S*** THEY EITHER CAN’T SING GOOD LIVE OR THEIR CHOREOGRAPHY IS SOME S***.

Has He Been Honored For His Writing? No? Is He A Sixteen Time Grammy Winner? No? B**** Chris Is A F****** Lesbian Felon And Deserves All The Critism He Gets Have An Auditorium Of F****** Seats B****.
