As the age old adage goes, good ‘Fortune’ comes to those who wait. And ‘wait’ is what fans of Chris Brown will have to do. For, after weeks of speculation, the Pop star has confirmed that the release of his 5th studio album has been pushed back.
Details after the jump…
The news comes via the 22 year old’s Twitter page, where he announced today that the eagerly awaited LP (formerly due on May 8th) will now arrive on…
July 3rd 2012
*************
Granted the album is increasingly moving further and further from its initial March store date, we can’t say we’re averse to it. For, unlike the delays which plague many a flop project, the one’s here appear both necessary and well-thought out.
Yes, ‘Strip’ and ‘Turn Up The Music’ performed well, yet for an album which is shaping up to be the comeback Chris has been working so hard to achieve, a solid pre-release setup is a must. And with him currently touring Australia and no new videos conjured up since ‘Turn Up The Music’, an early May release would have been a T.K.O.
Hence, expect new singles, visuals and performances (hello BET Awards?) going into the LP’s new release window. Exciting times! Though, perhaps most titillating is the fact that Chris, Usher, and Justin Bieber will now all be releasing within the same June/Summer window. Who do you think will come out on top – beyond, of course, their respective record labels?
Your thoughts?

looks like the “birthday cake” publicity stunt never made as much buzz as they both intended.
I agree with Sam. For once, pushing back an album seems like a smart thing to do. Turn Up The Music wasnt a big enough hit to carry the album, he needs a LAMN type hit. And definately more promo.
As for him releasing in the same window frame as Beiber and Usher, I dont think they will have any effect on each other, though it will be intresting. Team Breezy and “Beilbiers”(something like that) are two totally different audiences, and Usher seems like a non factor with this era. Is just me or is no one really checking for him this time around? I didnt even know he was dropping an album this Summer.
Usher a non-factor? Lmao i’d bet money Usher will open with bigger numbers. His single actually sounds fresh unlike the generic b******* chris released. It sounds like every other dance pop single on the radio, it got old so quick. If dance singles sold albums then Jlo, Pitbull, Guetta and LMFAO albums last year should have been amongst the best sellers. Not a single one of em crossed the 2million mark neither did they open big.
Usher is no1 on urban radio & chart right now and climbing up on hot 100. Now he knows dumb songs like OMG cant carry an album. RVR barely scanned 2 million units ww
the ass kissing in this site is irritating, it was pushed back because it’s a flop, no hit or strong single, that’s why, of course it is a good idea to push it back, but saying it is not because it’s flopping it’s going too much, maybe if the labels wouldn’t have been so stupid they would have released the remixes on iTunes or at least TUTM since many rihanna fans loved it and well we all know that when it comes to support singles, the Navy is great at it
anyway i don’t think it is a good idea to be released in June 26th since, if i’m not wrong, it is the release date for both, Maroon 5 and Linkin Park, and well Linkin Park has always big numbers due to their loyal fanbase and Maroon 5 has a hit with Payphone, plus the constant presence of Adam Levine in The Voice is well promo, anyway just time will tell
This is a good idea. Although I was looking foward to buying Fortune in May… Yes he needs to do more promo in the US and release videos for Sweet Love & Till I Die before the album comes out! Turn Up the Music only peaked at #10 on the Hot 100 which is disapointing.
IDK, I just feel like Usher is keeping a low profile this time around. I havent seen him perform his new song anywhere yet, and its doing average on the Hot 100. Very few artist can sell strong without mainstream attention. I dont think R vs R would have sold as good without OMG, even though Hey Daddy and TGMB were better singles.
I agree that Dance music doesnt sell albums anymore (see Flo Rida who has yet to sell over 1million world wide in total album sales). But I think Chris has the dance-pop radio songs for mainstream audiences and more R&B songs in store his urban audience, like he did with F.A.M.E.

THIS 😀
lol at people saying usher is a non-factor. i will be buying ushers next album because he will be doing more r&b, i will not buy chris browns cd because the singles have been generic trash and he uses too much autotune. people will buy a dance generic single, but your core urban fanbase will abandon you, and they are the ones who buy albums.
I just dont want Chris to become a “radio artist” like Guetta, Flo Rida, and Pitbull who only have a presence on radio. Chris and his team need better singles, and better promo
now that’s a WISE decision !!!
and he need to release a lot of dance/electronic singles before the release date to hype his pop fans cuz they are the ones who actually buy albums.
and them 4 singles that were released till now are not that successful ” with TUTM being the most successful among them ” and his team need to be more organized.
cuz they are all looked like FLOPS compared to other singles by other artists.
anyway , good luck , but that’s pretty tiring for his #teambreezy.
and i agree with @RYK !
B**** is a flop
#NEXt!!!
It happened to Monica and its coming for his ass!
Really, Chris need to stop all those stupid pictures he’s sending to his fans and whomever checks his twitter page.
@careerender
Alot of artist flop inclucing Monica, Rihanna, Beyonce, Mary and the list goes on so to sit behind your computer calling someone a flop check your fave first. Nicki came in #1 by selling only 70,000 copies OUCH! but she’s still promoting.
I’M NOT AT ALL PLEASED BY THIS DEVELOPMENT! <—BOO BOO BOO 🙁
I feel that RCA is setting Chris Brown up for a fall and I don't like it at all! May 8 was a perfect time for him. He currently has a lot of momentum and excitement surrounding FORTUNE's release! The more they delay, the more I feel "THE POWERS THAT BE" are working to try and bring him down again. This is a kid who works outside the boundaries. He is not USHER or JUSTIN BIEBER, two of the MUSIC INDUSTRY and MEDIA DARLINGS! Of course all the attention will be on making sure that OLD Usher has the #1 R&B CD and Justin BABBLE has th #1 POP CD.
****WHAT THE F*CK EVER RCA, SCREW YOU!*****
With that said, I will be purchashing my copies of FORTUNE as soon as they are available on JUNE 28, 2012! 🙂
**JUNE 26TH….LOL, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN! 🙂
@mobwife
haha 33 isnt old. you team breezy ugly b****** make me laugh. your boy needed MJ tributes and generic DANCE songs to stay relevant. i havent heard a decent chris brown song in years! way too much autotune. the birthday cake publicity stunt didnt work as well as he and rihanna hoped it would so thats why his generic album is getting pushed back. why is it that every black popstar gets labeled R&B?! when chris brown gets a diamond album then you can talk about usher. until then, continue supporting your SELL-OUT popstar.
And to you typical HATIN’ A$$ “H***” …..STFU!
Who cares if you buy an Usher CD? Shut up and buy it!
As for the claims of”generic music”….LOL…. wasn’t it Usher who said he was developing an new “revolutionary style” of music? A style/type of music in which he can be KING of cause he will never be the KING OF POP that’s MICHAEL JACKSON, the KING OF R&B that’s R. KELLY, the KING OF THE SWING that’s BENNY GOODMEN or the KING OF ROCK N’ ROLL that’s ELVIS…….LOL 🙂
#Hater’sSitAllTheWayDown
Chris peaking at #10 on Billboard is not a FLop it is an improvement considering that he couldn’t Crack the Top 30 after Rihanna threw him under the bus and NOW WANTS HIM BACK. Psycho Crackhead Girl!
We support you Chris!
so why can’t ppl actually buy usher album & cB album simultaneously ?!!
is it a crime to support them both ?!!
let them do their thing and enjoy the music. 🙂
@mobwife :
from where do you get that RCA is setting CB for a fall ?!
i thought everything became good for him since he got his 1st grammy 😯 !
Turn Up The Music wasnt a flop, it just wasnt big enough to carry the album to its initial release date.
And I feel like I set the tone for a Usher vs CB stan war on this post :(………..
@the real xoxo
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH……..b*tch have several seats and STFU! Honestly, I don’t have a problem with old man Usher – which he is compared to 22-yr-old Chris Brown and 18-yr-old Justin Bieber with whom he regularly competes! I personally don’t give a f*ck what you think or how you feel about Chris Brown, TeamBreezy or the man on the MOON! This post is about Chris Brown, if you don’t like him SO WHAT……why are here?
**FORTUNE JUNE 26 B*TCHES PRE-ORDER YOUR COPY OF THE SOON TO BE #1 SELLING CD IN THE WORLD!
P.S. And when Usher Raymond does MICHAEL JACKSON “figures” come talk to me! #4EVERMJ and #TeamBreezy…….”smooches” haters
@MOBWIFE
nobody mentioned MJ. the fact is, you compared usher and chris brown and i was merely stating a fact that chris brown hasnt achieved a fraction of the sales that usher has. you are obviously born after 1995 so good day.
@POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY)
so why can’t ppl actually buy usher album & CB album simultaneously ?!!

_______________________________________________
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS ONE! I have never been a fan of Usher’s but he has had some tracks throughout the years that I have enjoyed mainly his dance songs…..”You Make Me Wanna” and his duets with Beyonce & A Keys. It’s always a Chris Brown “hater” who starts the Chris vs Usher BS. It’s not a MADONNA vs LADY GAGA type deal IMO but someone always want’s to take it there!
@mobwife :

em? usher never claimed to be king of anything. chris brown is the immature piece of s*** who brags like a kid over a grammy. chris brown isnt as successful as usher and thats the truth not an opinion. his music sounds like everything else on the radio.
@the real xoxo
Don’t worry about what 22-yr-old Chris Brown has acheived in his 6 yrs as an R&B artist in the music industry. He has done quite well and will continue to evolve and grow throughout the years! I menioned Usher and Babble becuase the post mentioned them! I didn’t initial say anything negative about Usher just that he (like Bieber), is a music industy & MEDIA DARLIN’….. which is true!

ok what’s your point honey? whether u call Usher king or not, he is better and more successful than Chris in every way possible. dont make me break it down for u. u know go the ageism route ok but “old” Usher is selling out more arenas than vocally-prepubscent Chris so i guess the ladies are into “old”. Frankly the only thing old is Chris’ last hot 100 no1 albeit trend-biting singles
June is going to be a competitive month if Usher, Justin and now Chris are going to be releasing their new albums. I will definitely be supporting Usher’s new project because I enjoy all of his albums. I think all three of them will be successful though because they all have loyal fanbases. But in terms of who’s going to be the most successful I’d guess Justin because his young fanbase eats up everything he does.

THIS! I guess listening back to his dull dreary voice makes him think it’s ok to act like 6ft adolescent

if pop fans are the ones buying albums, why did they leave out Mr sellout Pitbull? he’s single got higher airplay last year than Adele’s RITD and reached no1 on billboard what more could he give but everything?
YAY Chris pushes the album back! Celebration!!!!!!!
@truther
You ppl must still be HIGH for last night? Try a raw egg, honey, and warm milk that should cure whatever is ailing you!
Chris Brown was not “bragging” about winning a Grammy! He was responding to the BIASED BULLSH** that was leveled against him when he won. Instead of allowing that kid to enjoy his WELL EARNED GRAMMY, the RACIST, BIASED, BASTARDS of America decided to attack him so he snapped back. As a non-S**** in an “ALLEGED FREE NATION” (150,000 BOND for an obvious MURDER… ummm), he had every right to DEFEND HIMSELF as those who set themeselves up against him (Miranda Lambert, blogs, feminist slores) felt they had the right to attack him because he won a Grammy!
Nobody CARES if “3-yr-old” Chris Brown is or is NOT as successful as Usher Raymond……. THAT’S THE REAL FACT!
Who is Chris Brown?
I like Chris & Usher. Usher has been in the game for sometime now and like someone said he has a strong fanbase. Usher fans. grew with him and is very mature about his music. where as Chris has a pretty good size fanbase also but they are really immature about everything he does. They are even mature enough to buy his songs. So Usher, Chris & Beiber will be releasing around the same time will be interesting. Usher label Jive & Chris RCA/Jive.
correction -they are not even mature
folllow me on twitter @honey_dip11 i follow back!
Before I forget. Usher has a strong fansbase that is not on twitter. Sweer Love hit #1 oh R&B itunes and now Climax is #1, Turn Up The Music is #2 & Sweet Love #3 So you see people the songs from both artists are great.
Turn Up he Music was also #1 on R&B itunes
@virtuoso intellect
“Honey” if my blog comment didn’t include your name, I’m not sure why you are addressing me at all? Again, I don’t give a damn about Usher Raymond. Run and tell that BS to TAMIKA (Raymond)! She needs an accurate account of his “success” so she can determine how much money to get in child support and alimony.
And for the record, I don’t believe that Usher is all that old but compared to Chris and Babble he damn sure is! 🙂 I always find it amusing that those who claim to dislike Chris Brown – while beating a PATH to EVERYONE of his TGJ POSTS – are forever mentioning Usher like they are talking about MICHAEL JACKSON! It’s just Usher Raymond pipe down!

chris brown confirmed on his twitter fortune coming out JULY 3rd!!!
@HUNNI2NICE
YES THE CONFIRMED DATE FOR FORTUNE IS JULY 3, 2012
@MOBWIFE
he may not be MJ but he is USHER that says a whole lot more than a chris brown. this is an open forum if u cant stand the heat, hun u know what to do. a chris fan has a lotta nerve saying Usher is a non-factor this era, remind me again who is pushing back release dates … that’s what i thought
oh boo hoo, some people think chris doesnt deserve the grammy HYFR i dont thinkhe deserves it either but thats not even the point, every grammy win is scrutininsed regardless of who wins it, it happens everty single year. Poor Amy Winehouse was booed live on air for her well-deserved 5 grammys. we dint see her retorting to the media boast like a 5yo with a pinata. evrybody gets flack; black white asian italian latino. maybe he can learn a thing or 2 from his ex, as wayward and outta control as she is .. never once has she been known to run her mouth with her accomplishments on twitter. she gets just as much flack if not more. ol boy is not even talented enough to be running his mouth, eff a glorified MJback-up dancer wannabe. nobody owes him s***.
Usher, Justin and Chris or all friends, why don’t you all
give chris a break. They or all going to be performing together
soon and there is enough room for all of them, dammmm this
is the same shyt that goes on all of the mofo time. Others who do not want to give
Chris a break now, shyt. Usher made 46Million , justin made 543 million now let
others work and make that paper there is nothing at all wrong with it. Who’s the best, the riches, the cuties and who have got the biggest d**ks don’t matter a f*&*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Justin made 53 million my bad****
Theres room at the top!!!!!!For all who works hard, theres
no single person who owns the mofo game to themselves!!!
Hmmmm just like serena wh can have a stadium full of people chanting aganist her she does not give one f*ck!!!! Chris will keep doing what he know to do and don’t let the Distractors get next to him. He can always borrow from others play books and ignore the distractors and let them talk to the big oak tree….just saying!!!It is amazing the amount of hate that is still out there for the young man , almost as much for y-k-who!!!!!!!!
july 3rd? 50 cent is dropping on july 2nd. funnily enough the only albums im buying this year are 50 cent, usher, lady gaga(?) and Nas. nobody over the age of 18 cares for chris browns repetitive, uninspired garbage.
Not surprised!
& yall please follow me now: http://twitter.com/shynlownoam
@THEREALXOXO How come “Birthday Cake” didn’t make enough publicity? You sound crazy because that song was everywhere? But what does “Cake” have to do with his album coming out? Cuz I’m sure it prolly wasn’t gonna be on there or if it was, it would’ve been the deluxe edition. ANYWHO, Chris is making a smart decision yet also a setback that some artists do that end up flopping. But I have hope in Chris & believe he will do good with this album. It’s good music. Plus “Turn Up The Music” is the only official single. and video he has out anyway. So maybe after him & Nicki shoot a video for “Right By My Side” & he releases a video, that he will get the results he wants! #TeamBreezy
i wonder what its like having over 9 million twitter followers and barely 1 million bought your album.

I was saying the same thing about Rihanna. I mean she has 17 mil twitter 40 plus facebook fans and her CD never went to #1.
@shelby
i know, right? Emeli sande only has 100-150k followers, but her album still sold over 300k in the UK and went #1 and platinum.
@Darnell
I with you on that about Usher’s fans. You can see he don’t have many on twitter but his true fans and he’s mainstream are buying his music. My man Chris fans just talk s*** on twitter. They can’t even buy a few copies of his singles for $1.29 nor do they request. When you look at the radio charts Chris songs make it as far as the top 20’s & 10s then the fans stop requesting and it falls. You go on twitter right now and all you see is these kids who call thereselves fans talking about getting into his pants.You can’t even tell the groupies from the fans because they talk the same s***. Hating his girlfriend for starters this is why their not supporting his music. S*** kids do
They talk about I can’t wait for FORTUNE and I’m saying for what they can’t even buy 20 copies for $1.29 of Chris songs.
Anyway I am a Chris, Rihanna & Usher fan so I can buy them all
I have no problem waiting. I’m checking for him.
The thing is that I’m kind of worried about both ‘Sweet Love’ and ‘Till I Die’ not having enough buzz. He has about 4 or 5 songs on urban radio right now, so maybe it’s become a bit of an overkill, so releasing an urban single in a month from now after all the other songs that feature him have peaked would be a good move. I hope they sort it all out, whether they stick with the present singles or choose new ones. The only problem is that he won’t be able to capitalize on the success of ‘Turn Up The Music’, so maybe they should consider releasing another pop single right now…
He has no buzz whatsoever. The only people checking for Chris are his groupies and Rihanna stans.
He needs to get off instagram him and his little girlfriend karate kid need to stop posting pics of each other – none of his fans want to see that! His fan base is mostly made of young girls who fantasize about being with him and when he’s not going on some mad rant on twitter he’s busy posting pics of him and his girl who follows him everywhere like a lost puppy …this boys team will be his downfall!
Just because you helped Chris get back on top again don’t mean that he has to settle for all the harsh words you throw at him and his girlfriend. Some of you fans are just as bad as the haters.
So now you can talk all the s*** to him and he is not supposed to block you. Chris knows what the fans did for him but you can’t TELL him what to do & who he can date. Be a fan and suppoet him not trying to be a wife or boyfriend. Chris has a girlfriend whom he cares about and that’s none of our business because she is not the one Chris fans support.
@GG
He really need to stop with those stupid ass instagram
JUST THE FACTS..
..That’ll setting once-and-for-all all the Usher-better-than Chris drivel:
Usher was a 26-y/o, back in 2004, when “Confessions” was released.
Usher is a NOW a 33-y/o, who was only seen last year, while onstage in Europe, having to end-early, an actual concert, due to…”exhaustion”.
Chris Brown is a spritely 22-y/o with boundless energies, and most of all – TIME to make mistakes, grow, and THEN learn from them. Lest we forget he has a highly-mobile, and ‘knee-jerk reactionary’ fan-base..!!
NO ARTIST CAN NOW SELL AS THEY ONCE HAD: ITunes, Digital Piracy – whatever! If “Thriller” was released today, it’d have NOT sold 50-Million WW. If Adelene’s “21” was released..say 8-years ago, it’d have sold FAR more than that now 10-Million in-total WW.
Chris Brown has accomplished MORE than Usher as a 22-y/o:
1.) Chris Brown is the undisputed BEST DANCER currently to walk the Pop-culture landscape.
2.) Chris Brown is currently the undisputed BEST SHOWMAN to set-foot on any stage.
3.) What TV/Cable Award/Entertainment shows had Usher closed, or appeared in that drew an average 3.0 Neilsen?
4.) Chris’ DWTS appearance drew a still-record-standing 19-Million viewers.
5.) Chris Brown has added to his pedigree: co-star, who had the longest screen-face-time, of a #1-Movie – “TAKERS” – which has returned upwards of, by now, $100-Million. He also was prominent in said film’s marketing/promotion, AND was its EXECUTIVE PRODUCER – AS A 20-Y/O..!!
So let us NOW stop the foolish, deflecting “Usher vs. Chris” arguments: Usher HAD his time. Chris is only NOW j-u-s-t beginning to come into his!
*Meh..* Album delay..?! Who cares..?! If any, this’ll give him time to “rev-up” Team-Breezy to a fever-pitch.. “They” said his fans would abandon him. “They” said no one ever-before had ever gone through such a thing (Feb 8th, 2009 Chrianna) and survived – “they” said he was FINISHED..!! “They” said “F.A.M.E” would flop. “They” sald “Takers” would flop, as all the white cast-member – AND ZOE SALDANA – wanted nothing to do with the film; sure proved “them” wrong! “They” sure talk alot, but those who really count – ALL OF US HERE, OUT ON THE BLOGS – weren’t listening to “them” – F*** OPRAH! F*** TYRA BANKS! F*** JAY-Z! F*** HARVEY LEVIN! ..F***-ALL-“THEM”..!!
I’m glad to see the Team-Breezy haters are now coming out of the wood-work. You’re, only again, stoking the “US-VERSUS-THEM” fires that had propelled Chris BACK again on top!
X,Y,”and Z” — “..hummin’, comin’ at cha..”
I love Chris, but he over saturated the market with himself. He did too many mix tapes and featured on too many people’s songs. It ‘s become too hard to grab something solid from him. He needs to stop featuring and fall back for a minute to concentrate on his career and developing a sound for himself. It can be done.
Typo: cast-members = cast-member. *sigh.. red-faced* over 65-wpm, multi-tasking on different screens, no proofing, and watching Bloomberg.
X,Y,”and Z”
@Shelby No they certainly cant tell him who to date but they CAN refuse to purchase his music and support him. Please dont be naive – Chris is a young desirable man and the music he makes is very sexual. When you present that image as an artist its common sense that your fanbase will consist of young girls who fantasize about being with you. Now of course, unless they are deranged they know very well Chris is entitled to date whom he wants and they know very well he will not date them but to see Karrueche following him everywhere as if they are married is becoming a bit too much to bear! The fact that she seems to have no income of her own and is mooching of him with her friend in tow further rubs salt in the wound. Remember how he was dating Rihanna and you rarely saw them together or being affectionate in public? Or how they swore up and down that they were just friends? That is the kind of mystery the fans expect from an artist nowadays – sad but true. And yes the stupid instagramming has to stop.
@GG
Draya followed him around also. If she was not with him he would get her there with him. She stated in a interview herself that they did not want to be away from each other. .I think you got this twisted . Chris is the one who dragging Kae around with him because if he did not want her around she would not be.Sorry for those whom don’t like her but that’s Chris girl and it’s up to him to leave her not the fans.
And pointing at Rihanna & Chris they are two artists so their was not time to be hanging around each other. You would only see them on vacation.
@GG
And saying Kae have no job, How do you know that. We don’t know what she’s there for
@THE REAL B(RANDY) re: April 22, 2012 at 12:07 pm —
Funny thing: “they”, said the very-same thing just before “F.A.M.E” (F*** ALL MY ENEMIES) was released: “Too much mixtapes.” “Features too much people.”Fall back.” “Get off twitter.”
..Yak.. Yak..Yak..
Chris is a true (wait for it..)”MOTIVATOR”, “COMMANDER” and a WINNER! And, if there’s “ONE thing” Chris needs to do is to stop associating himself with LOSERS: the almost-40-something-year-old Kelly Rowland…!!
“Loser” | Noun: One with weekly-access, for months-on-end, to 12-Million U.K./European discretionary-spending consumers – as then a X-Factor U.K. sitting judge/mentor of up-and-coming talent, who then only moves a PATHETIC less-than 150-K units of “Here I am”.
“Bum” | Noun: One who’s lead single: “Motivation” was forced-down our collective throats and which took an eternal FOUR-LONG MONTHS to go platinum!
“Fail-up” | Colloquialism: One who – “worms her way”, or by use of guile, spin, ‘dark-skin-sista-girl’ guilt – continually fails, but who is THEN offered chance-after-chance-after-chance.
Real Talk: The one thing that could lessen, if not whole-cut kill, “the buzz” for “FORTUNE” is any continued association with the aforementioned almost-40-something-year-old Kelly Rowland.
..And as for me?! Well, after I saw her tour with Chris, in all honesty, it gave me pause, and made me rethink my association with “Team-Breezy”. Because, it WAS the almost-40-something-year-old Kelly Rowland who said:
“Orlando Bloom, and men who look like him, are T-H-E most beautiful of ALL men.”
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT..!!
You saying they will refuse to buy his music. Ha! that’s a laugh because most of them downloading for free anyway.
@Shelby Girrrrl knowing Drayas reputation I wouldn’t believe anything she says! and if what you say is true then I think Chris needs to back his girl up a bit more and let them know he is the one insisting on her being around — esp when the stans come for her on twitter! Its not just the fact that they are ALWAYS together its the fact that she seems to have no obvious career or solid education unless it involves Chris directly. Furthermore, did Draya bring her bestfriend to mooch off her new lifestyle like Kae does with Seiko?? Now I hear that she’s his stylist but clearly she’s just another chick on the come-up and if women like Kim K still cant get any respect you best believe karrueche aint getting NO respect at all and I think this girl is actually going to hurt his career… Chris is too young to be wifed up and I dont really mind I mean I’ll still enjoy his musci but clearly its upsetting the fans. But thats just my opinion
@Shelby please go and read Karrueches online bio – the media always states that she is an “aspiring” model and ok we’ve seen her little iphone photoshoots on twitter but thats about it. Now theres rumours that she is now Chris’s stylist but that has neither been confirmed or denied by either of them so we still dont know. Oh and its common knowledge she’s a drop-out and sacrificed her education to be with Chris. Just do a little research on her and its clear to see she has nothing else going on for her other than Chris so she better pray that they stay together
@GG I actually agree with you. I think CB younger fans is abandoning him, because of him posting all the pictures of his girlfriend. If you look at all the stars out there Usher, Trey Songz, and others, they don’t promote their girlfriends to their women fans. Their women they date is always in the back ground. We may get a picture of Usher out with his girlfriend, but Usher isn’t tweeting the pictures, knowing that his fan base is women. I think personally CB needs to concentrate on his career and keep his private life private. His young fan girls want to see pictures of him not of his girlfriend. CB never did that with Rihanna, I don’t know whats up with his team lately. It seems like he promoting his relationship more than his album and music.

http://thatgrapejuice.net/2012/04/watch-letoya-luckett-life-lve-music-webisode-3/#more-74491
..I know – I know: shocked-the-hell outta me too.. But hey, she didn’t try to ‘tear Chris down’, not like Rihanna, Jasmine Saunders, nor Draya, now did she? NOPE!! Not exactly my “cup of tea”, but if HE likes it..
Latoya Sidenote: Another thing, I’d recently read a “blind item” ’bout an R&B songstress dating an Asian dude, but being concerned ’bout her fans not liking it.. *whispers..* Latoya(?) PR folks just kill me thinking they can distract and “product place”, and then “substitute in”. *Meh..* Silly Rabbits..
CG/SHELBY, you’ll understand if you watch that latest ‘Latoya Webisode’ in its entirety.
X,Y,”and Z”
@Zania THANK YOU! C’mon this is media 101!!! None wants to see him and Karrueche posing 24/7 on instagram. I could understand if Kae had a real career and he was trying to make her hot or promote her but noone wants to see her esp not his young fans! He needs to promote his music and not this relationship. His private life should remain private its really noones business but the 2 of them are forcing it in ppls faces on twitter and instagram when no normal person actually cares who she is or what shes doing with him. Lets be real now…this girl is a nobody and like you said other artists make sure their nobodies are ALWAYS in the background. I wish him and Kae the best but honestly they continue like this and they’ll annoy his fans more.
@shelby I don’t think that his fans is trying to make him leave his girlfriend, but what R & B s** symbols throw another woman and flaunt their girlfriend in their young women fanbase. These young girls are fantasizing about being with him and he posting pictures of his girlfriend, like they care. Do you really think they are going to spend their little dollars on his songs because they think he is spending on her, because she usually tweets about them shopping or whatever. You are talking about girls under 17, you expect them not to act like this. During FAME promo, he was about his career and promoting his music with his fans. CB has a right to have a personal life, but I think he should try to keep his personal life personal and not on twitter.

Ok, that was a good idea: “research”. Well, I did a “little research” and voila, look at what I found:
http://thatgrapejuice.net/2012/04/watch-letoya-luckett-life-lve-music-webisode-3/#more-74491 <–FF to the 9:04 minute mark: Karreuche Tran (sp?) STYLING Latoya Luckett. Yup, I JUST had to check her tumbler/twitter – NO, your eyes aren't deceiving you: THAT'S KARREUCHE TRAN STYLING LATOYA LUCKETT..!!
She's NOT 'sitting on her backside' doing "nothing"! ..Kudos to her, she's making the most of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..!! Why hadn't Jasmine Saunders nor Draya done the same? I'll tell you why – their hearts weren't into it! They were only into it for what THEY could get OUT of him/it!
..Me?! Well, I'd have preferred to see Chris with a "Black-black woman/girl" but hey, all the black women who, since 'Feb 8th 2009', tried to use him: Jasmine Saunders and Draya…!!
And if Rihanna would've only listened to us, 'us' out here on the blogs – who matter, she'd have NOW been back with Chris and ruling the charts..!! But NO: she listened to Jay-Z and L.A. Reid, and now look at her – Nicki Minaj is moving her off the stage, Rita Orta is now Jay-Z's "latest and greatest", and Rihanna's about to be "the face" of a $450-Million disaster-at-sea: "Battleship"..!!
X,Y,"and Z"
@XYZ, See that is why his songs isn’t doing well, it shouldn’t be about Karreuche, It should be about his music. His fans shouldn’t be concerned with what she does for a living, but since CB is promoting his girlfriend, his fans is more concern about her than his music and upcoming album. I blame CB. He needs the focus back on him and not his personal life.
Chris Brown has only released one decent single thus far and that’s turn up the music. All he talks about nowadays is s** and dancing other than his rap songs on his mixtape. He is gonna have some serious competition. Usher regardless of age will always be a better singer, better lyricist, and bigger seller than CB. Beiber has millions of fans. This is going to be an interesting summer music wise.
@X Y AND Z……FOH with that 10s clip of Kae doing up Latoyas buttons and looking confused wtf – how do you go from that to stylist. The rumours are shes a styling assistant for Ugo Moezie if you want to be schooled . Please dont make me laugh – what serious stylist do you know that has time to follow their bf all over the world? Or do you have a portfolio of actual celebs that she styled apart from that clip which clearly was a poor representation of her talents if LaToya LEFT and went elsewhere to be styled LMAO.
@XYZ
Thank You so much for that. I bet some of these on here didn’t even see Kae in the Websibe you just posted. So she does have a job
chris brown wtf
i was already to go buy this s*** the first week of may now i have to wait two more months on top of the two month delay the first time!!!
ugh fine seeing as how he wants his album sales to return to how they first were i will patiently wait, go ahead and get your promo and new singles out! heck it might be good to add newer music anyways because half the album has leaked already so i guess in the long run it could be better for chris!
Back to his album, I only like Turn up the music so far. I think he needs to release some music with a meaning other than sexual music. I actually love Usher song Climax a s*** R & B song. I loved CB last album, his songs had meaning to them. Deuces, She ain’t you, All Back, and others.CB needs to release a song with a story behind it, something people can feel and relate to it. I would love to hear a beautiful love song from him. I know he is 22 and all he think about is s**, LOL, but I know he experience love and ups and down in a relationship, he should put it in a song.
Justin will outsell both cause his fans are insane
Another flop coming for FISTopher
Fortune will STRUGGLE just like FAME
This orangutan looking kneegrow & his thin, SHITE voice & pencil d*** are OVA!!!!!!
Let the countdown begin for FISTopher 🙂
As you may know, the GREAT LACEFRONCE makes EXCELLENT predictions 😉
And if Rihanna would’ve only listened to us, ‘us’ out here on the blogs – who matter, she’d have NOW been back with Chris and ruling the charts..!! But NO: she listened to Jay-Z and L.A. Reid, and now look at her – Nicki Minaj is moving her off the stage, Rita Orta is now Jay-Z’s “latest and greatest”, and Rihanna’s about to be “the face” of a $450-Million disaster-at-sea: “Battleship”..!!

“The rumours are shes a styling assistant for Ugo Moezie if you want to be schooled”
So I gave you VIDEO PROOF of her styling someone – a celebrity, and YOU give me..”RUMORS”..?! Please don’t make ME laugh..!!
“what serious stylist do you know that has time to follow their bf all over the world?”
Dwade’s stylist followed him to Europe! Rihanna’s stylist used to follow HER all-over the place!
“Or do you have a portfolio of actual celebs that she styled”
Maybe she’s only now just beginning? Gotta start somewhere, yes? Now, as Chris’ star again rockets to the heavens, she’ll have more opportunities to style all the more popular folks, logical?
“LaToya LEFT and went elsewhere to be styled”
You’re missing the point! ..Never-the-less, we have Latoya, ON VIDEO, being styled by Karreuch Tran (sp?). And her “portfolio of clients” can only now grow..!! She’s now stepping away from being “Chris Brown’s girl” – not that’s a bad thing – I’m sure even Chris wants her to have HER own identity. Chris had never seemed selfish – if anything – totally selfless and willing to let others be great..!!
But, as I’d said, just think: If Jasmine Saunders would’ve been cool – and not tried to use/disrespect him, think of how..”camera-friendly” a couple THEY could’ve been! Jasmine Saunders and Rihanna are T-H-E biggest fools we now know of since ‘Feb 8th, 2009 Chrianna’ – think of what Chris could’ve meant to Jasmine’s career..?? What an absolute idiot SHE is – Robert Kardashian is, if you didn’t know, BISEXUAL!! That’s why Angela Simmons, after finding out, wanted nothing to do with him! And SHE, Jasmine Saunders, thought getting-with Robert Kardashian would “show chris” and help her career – please.. Remind that B****, for me: Birds Fly South..
X,Y,”and Z”
@X, Y, and Z Its actually a fact not a rumour that shes a styling assistant for Ugo Moezie do a quick search on google. Clearly you are stanning for a nobody and pls dont drag Rihanna into this – tell me how shes the fool when that girl is selling out worldwide tours and dropping albums which dont get pushed back several times.? Furthermore her and Chris are still friends and have both moved on so let her be. The fact that Chris’s album is being pushed back should tell you that something is not right and I believe its the fact that he has begun to force this girl Kae upon his fans when they dont care about her. Now if you want to dig up videos and maybe payslips of Kae’s styling adventures where clients walk out to be styled elsewhere thats fine! I’m just stating my own opinion.
Usher’s album is out nearly a month before, but that means he’s going to go hard for a number 1 hit. I mean seriously, with all the top notch producers he’s working with, he has to notch another one up. He’s going to go for Urban AND mainstream so it’ll be hard for Chris.
As for Fortune, the album barely has any buzz around it. Chris is on so many songs as featured artists nowadays that it takes him away from his own singles. Turn Up The Music debuted high, but it keeps falling off every week on Hot 100 while Climax keeps going up. Till I Die and Sweet Love have good production but feel flat and uninspired. He just needs a strong single that pushes him away from all of these nonstop features that do better than his current singles.
Justin Bieber is more of a non-factor since his fanbase is defined, just like Usher but unlike Bieber, Usher needs to promote his stuff on Urban and when he does, it’ll conflict with whatever 20 songs Chris has on the chart as features or whatever. He dude simply has to much out there and his own songs aren’t up to par.
Don’t hate Chris, I bought FAME last year and despite me thinking that Graffiti was better, it wasn’t a bad album, but so far Fortune is pretty disappointing. If it’s possible, I’d potentially wish the album was pushed to August so it would have room to breath. I personally thought May was going to be pretty good but July is just too crowded.

“Nicki Minaj is a FLOP. Sorry.”
From your lips to satan’s tongue:

2.)Nicki Minaj signs adidas deal: /thatgrapejuice(dotnet)/2012/04/brand-minaj-nicki-inks-deal-adidas/
3.) Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded jumped 96-placed, on the U.K. Charts, from the mere mention of her coming London tour dates.
4.) No “$450-Million disaster-at-sea: Battleshp” for Nicki Minaj. That’ll be Rihanna’s alone, “cross to bear”.
5.) No ‘Rita Ora’ being pushed, by Rihanan’s one-time mentor Jay-Z, for Nicki Minaj to contend with. How painful to Rihanna does THAT have to be – I wonder?
Can’t you see: “the way” is being cleared for Nicki Minaj..
X,Y,”and Z’
I also honestly thought Usher was coming back too soon and at the wrong time seeing as Alternative Music is making a strong comeback. Hot 100 is very crowded and competitive these days and it’ll be hard for Usher to get another number 1 under these conditions. But with Chris, it’ll be worse as Dance-Pop just isn’t doing as good as it did this time last year or the year before. Meaningful music is making a comeback with Adele, FUN., Gotye, etc. and Usher hopped on that boat with Climax. It’s Chris’ turn but I don’t think it’ll happen with him pushing dubstep and s***.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raia0L9BBEs
WOW!!! Sounds like this person really hates Chris girl. I could care less about his girl because if it was not her it would have been some other chick his fans won’t like. Can’t wait for FORTUNE to hit the stores July 3, 2012
@virtuoso intellect,
“MOBWIFE, he may not be MJ but he is USHER that says a whole lot more than a chris brown”
SO YOU SAY…..YAWN! Unless Usher Raymond can morph into MICHAEL JACKSON you can stop talking. Again, it’s just Usher Raymond stop trying to make him more than he actually is!
“a chris fan has a lotta nerve saying Usher is a non-factor this era”
YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY CONFUSED! I never said Usher was or WAS NOT a factor. FRANKLY, I REALLY DON’T GIVE A F*CK! This is a post about Chris Brown and I just don’t care about Usher. He’s not a bad artist, I just DON’T CARE about him EITHER WAY!
“remind me again who is pushing back release dates”
Sure “sweetie” its RCA, his RECORD LABEL. Chris Brown would have released his CD in March via the web and said screw it along time ago! RCA is a NEW SITUATION for him. I’m sure he has to learn the ropes with this new company as you would on a new job! It doesn’t matter his fans will support him regardless!
“Poor Amy Winehouse was booed live on air for her well-deserved 5 grammys.”
YOU SOUND LIKE A DAMN FOOL! Amy Received what she EARNED JUST LIKE CHRIS BROWN DID and was celebrated. No one went on a twitter, blog, TV, & Radio a campaign for DAYS after-the-fact aganist Amy inehouse as they did against Chris Brown so STFU! And that’s a damn lie, SERIAL ABUSERS Eminem (beat wife Kim for years) & Glen Campbell (beat the hell out of Tanya Tucker for years) were given Grammys for their nonsense called music, yet no on questioned their Grammy wins and celebrated them to the fullest for inning! Don’t run that “black white asian italian latino” BULL on me! There is a difference in treatment!
***FORTUNE JULY 3, 2012 HATERS……GET READY FOR IT! SMOOCHES
AGAIN I BLAME @RCA.
THIS PUSH BACK WAS BY DESIGN TO GIVE USHER RAYMOND A CHANCE TO SHINE NOW THAT I KNOW HE TOO IS RELEASING MUSIC IN JUNE. They are still on the same label and gets top billing over there! I will be happy when Chris Brown’s contract ends and he moves to a rival company! I mean everyone is disappointed as they had planned to purchase his CD in May 8 BUT WE NOW SEE THE SCHEME BEING HATCHED AGAINST HIM! It’s cool “tho” he’s still going to SLAY!
@Mobwife, Actually Usher song hit 1# on the chart, with one song release, so I can see why RCA is going with Usher. Usher has a hit, CB don’t. CB needs to work on his album.
@GG re: April 22, 2012 at 2:15 pm —
“Its actually a fact not a rumour that shes a styling assistant for Ugo Moezie do a quick search on google.”
I don’t have to – AND I WON’T! I JUST SAW, WITH MY OWN TWO NO-GLASSES-REQUIRED EYES Karreuche Tran (sp? gotta learn how to spell her name) STYLE LATOYA LUCKETT. And logically, the longer she stays in the “styling game” the longer she’ll have access to celebrity clientele who can THEN only help her “career in styling”.
“Clearly you are stanning for a nobody”
And who might THAT be..?! ..SPEAK UP..!!
“and pls dont drag Rihanna into this – tell me how shes the fool when that girl is selling out worldwide tours and dropping albums which dont get pushed back several times.?”
…Ahh.. Let’s talk about how many #1 Albums “The Great” Rihanna has! “Sold-Out Worldwide Tours”..?! Do you mean like the time y’all “Camp-Fenty” said she “sold out” NYC’s Madison Square Garden, only then, after a few “clicks of the mouse” we found a multitude of cheap AND expensive, front-row and nose-bleed tickets..?! P-U-L-EASE.. Rihanna gives away her tickets just before her show starts, and you-all THEN say: “look at how much people turned out!” Rihanna’s very first 2010 tour was to be in Oregon, or some other north west state and the ticket sales were so low, y’all had to cancel her show. Then there’s the Atlanta show which was cancelled – etc, etc, etc,.. So stop with the spin, hysteria, lies and half-truths..!!
“Furthermore her and Chris are still friends and have both moved on so let her be.”
Please, the b**** is a ‘NO-GOOD BUM’ and toxic to be near! Just you ask Matt Kemp! “Before Rihanna”, Matt Kemp was an up-and-coming almost-MLB Allstar Baseball Player, who just-then signed a 10-Million 2-yr deal with the L.A. Dodgers. THEN, late 2009/early 2010, he was pictured on that boat in Mexico with Rihanna, and they then made it “official”. But as soon as THAT happened, and the 2010 MLB season began, he then began to slump, and slump he did BADLY. So “badly” that the Dodgers wanted to trade, or yet-worse, demote him to the minor leagues – “People Magazine” took notice: //www.people.com/people/article/0,,20397717,00.html
..Then came that late 2010 video of Matt Kemp picking up groupies outside that L.A. club: no more Riri/Matt. Best thing for Matt Kemp and his career, really! With “toxic Rihanna” not around, Matt Kemp AGAIN found his “pre-Rihanna” form and in 2011 became an MLB Allstar, just missed out, being voted 2nd place to Ryan Braun, on being the league’s MVP. The Dodgers JUST signed him to a NEW long-term multi-million dollar contract. Long-story short: Rihanna is toxic. She did it to Chris, and THEN to Matt Kemp..!! There’s just something dark, malevolent, and all-pervasive-evil about Rihanna!
“The fact that Chris’s album is being pushed back should tell you that something is not right and I believe its the fact that he has begun to force this girl Kae upon his fans when they dont care about her.”
^^What a load of steaming b*******!! “WE”, Team-Breezy knew ALL about Kae before “F.A.M.E”..!! We knew about her BEFORE we – all 19,000 strong – went to see him for MSNBC’S Summer Concert Series and then set the live attendance record! If there’s anything his fans didn’t like, was/is the idea of him collaborating – or getting back – with Rihanna!! IT’S RIHANNA WHO HIS FANS HATE, NOT KARREUCHE TRAN..!! IT WAS RIHANNA WHO WENT ON NATIONAL TV AND SAID: “HE HAD NO SOUL IN HIS EYES!”
..RIHANNA IS “THE TEAM BREEZY MORTAL ENEMY”, NOT KARREUCHE TRAN..!! What I think is that, if anything, this “delay”, is him wanting to let the air “clear” and have folks forget that they did that collab altogether..!! As her record shows: EVERY MAN WHO CONSORTS WITH RIHANNA SUFFERS BADLY..!!
“Now if you want to dig up videos and maybe payslips of Kae’s styling adventures where clients walk out to be styled elsewhere thats fine! I’m just stating my own opinion.”
BUT I JUST DID..!! While YOU “state your opinions,” I just gave you HARD PHYSICAL EVIDENCE: A VIDEO – which you, due to YOUR “stanning” had just discarded!

Aww, still pressed I see. First of all, the movie didn’t cost 450M. Only bitter ass CB stans believe your unsubstantiated BS. The production budget was half of that. Universal lined up over 50M in corporate tie ins and promo sponsors before the movie even dropped.
Oh and in case you were wondering, Battleship has crossed the 100M in only ten days, and it hasn’t even opened in the US yet.
http://www.deadline.com/2012/04/battleship-past-100m-foreign-box-office/
The moviie is going to recoup its 200M-250M production budget from overseas box office within the next few weeks without the US premiere.
Nicki and Rita coming for Rihanna , Ri’s movie flopping. . . LMFAO yeah ok, whatever. Rihanna has nothing to do with CB pushing back his s***, and you will deal.

“As if I would sit and read that long mess take a seat. And swallow your meds you’re becoing over emotional now smh”
You know, you’re right! Why would I expect any rational, fact-based discourse from a camp who’s fave is a fraud, gimmick, lying no-talent hack! Silly me, but the fact remains: reading IS fundamental..!! And it was Rihanna who said that she’s a High School drop-out, right? “Don’t have time for a GED,” isn’t that what your fave had said? Yup!
Let me put it as succinctly as I can: Rihanna is toxic. She ALMOST killed Chris Brown’s career. And, as the evidence clearly shows – she THEN almost killed Matt Kemp’s career!
X,Y,”and Z”
XYZ IS A SCUM BAG AND A LOW LIFE IN THE WORST I HAVE EVER
SEEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE…..THEY WANT TO TAKE THE SPITE OUT ON RIHANNA AND KELLY BECAUSE THEY WAS “HATCHED” INSTEAD OF BORN AND WHEN THEY WAS HATCHED, THEY WAS THROWN UP AGANIST THE WALL BY THEIR MOM AND TOLD TO BE SOMETHING AND THIS LOW LIFE SCUM BAG, HOPPED OUT AND THEY HAVE BEEN PISSED EVER SINCE. WHAT THEY NEED TO REALIZE IS THAT AFTER THEY STARTED TO GROW SOME THAT IS WHEN THEIM MOM STARTED DROPPED THEM ON THEIR AIR HEAD SO MUCH AND THEY OR PISSY WITH RIHANNA AND KELLY AND THEIR FANS FOR GETTING THROWN UP AGANIST THE WALL AND GOT DROPPED ON THEIR HEAD SO MUCH,,,,SOMETHING THEY NEED TO TAKE UP WITH THEIR MOM NOT KELLY, RIHANNA AND CHRIS,,,FOR GOODNESS SAKE……….
@XYZ Actually There is a whole lot of team Breezy following Rihanna and all of the navy don’t hate CB. Most of his fans were attacking him last night for posting that picture of Kae, not the Navy. To be honest I love Birthday Cake better than all his songs he released, I like Turn up the music, but I like Birthday Cake more, love the beat and its hot and I am a huge CB fan bought 10 FAME CD’s last year. So if Rihanna was the reason for his problems than why did Birthday Cake shoot up the charts to #2 on the Billboard, faster than any song without a single release. I think CB needs to go back releasing fire, like he did last year.
Now wants to buy this kids album is why it was pushed back, A-ha no momentum, no hype, i feel like Chris brown and Rihanna ‘s team have been working together behind the scenes for years now a-la every time Rihanna droped a video , Chris brown would drop a video or vice -versa (see rated r and Grafitti era
But now those both management teams are clearly working together except it backfired when they released those singles because after the initial shock the public didn’t give a f*** and wrote both of them off
Even though Fame didnt sale a millions copies the album at least had some amount of buzz
No one cares this time around the music is…meh
They better hit Rihanna up for another collabo to garner some controversy s*** there is nothing left he can do for attention his fans already don the naked pics…hmmm s** tape ?
AND CHRIS’S PERSON LIFE IS HIS AND ONLY HIS AND THERE THIS SCUM BAG IS KEEPING IT GOING, STUPID ASS SCUMB BAG,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
KELLY, RIHANNA AND CHRIS BROWN SAYS TO KISS THEIR ASSES WHEN EVER YOU FEEL LIKE PUCKERING UP,,,BECAUSE THE TALK ABOUT CHRIS GIRLFRIEND IS NULL AND VOID TO HIS FANS,,,YOU SCUM BAG,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
THAT IS WHAT I AM SAYING CHRIS CAN’T GET A BREAK, RIHANNA CAN’T AND KELLY CAN’T BECIAUSE OF SCUM BAGS LIKE “XYZ” ALL OF THE COMMENTERS WHO OR NUTTY LIKE ME AND MANY OTHERS AT LEAST KNOW WHEN TO HOLD THEM AND WHEN TO FOLD THEM, THIS “B******” IS ALWAYS BRINGING OUT THE MOFO GOVERNMENT REPORTS ON EACH AND EVERYBODY,,,I HOPE THIS SCUM BAG WORK THIS HARD WITH THEM REPUBLICAN WHO OR TRYING TO TAKE THE PRESIDENT OUT AND HES TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING RIGHT. WE HAD BETTER BE PRAYING FOR A MIRACLE IN ORDER THAT WE STILL HAVE INSPECTORE=S TO CHECK OUT OUR FOOD, WATER AND OTHR THINGS THAT OR IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE LIVELIHOOD, INSTEAD OF WORRYING WHO CHRIS IS SLEEPING WITH, YOU SCUM BAG,,,AND BESIDES THAT NO ONE GIBES A F**K WHAT HIS GIRL DOES FOR A LIVING, YOU OR TRYING TO MAKE HER STYLING HAIR BETTER THAN WHAT RIHANNA DOES OR KELLY DOES FOR A LIVING YOU TEST TUBE, BOUNCED ON YOUR AIR HEAD, LOW LIFE SCUM BAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!
AS LONG AS HE HAS FANS LIKE “XYZ” ASS HE DON’T NEED RIHANNA FOR A MOFO THING,,,THANKS TO “XYZ’S SCUM BAG ASS……..I HOPE RIHANNA GET THIS LOUD AND CLEAR SO SHE WILL STAY ON HER SIDE OF THE EQUATION,,,CAUSE “XYZ” HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT CHRIS DON’T NEEK KELLY AND RIHANNA FOR NOTHING BECAUSE “XYZ” IS GOING TO MAKE IT A POINT TO HELP CHRIS GET THE RPOYAL TREATMENT BY TRYING TO DOGGGGG KELLY AND RIHANNA WOMEN I THE INDUSTRY WHO OR NOT ARGUING OR NOTHING LIKE THAT WITH HIM.

*scans comments
First of all nobody will out Mj Mj his material alone is light years ahead of people that are alive today and are supposed to be his equals (see MADONNA’S sad excuse for an album
Second I think Usher will overall Have more success in 2012 than Chris Brown lets face It Ursh look at this s*** like runnin a business he usually doesn’t go half-assed
and he knows what his fanbase is and how to market himself to all the demographics that check for his music

@MARI re: April 22, 2012 at 3:44 pm —
The “Battleship” final-get-to-theater cost will be $450-Million. Currently, the cost is $250-Million. Initially, “Battleship” had cost $200-Million to produce. And $50-Million was just added to the promotion budget. But the “FINAL” cost, that is, P/A (Prints and Advertising) costs aren’t yet known, but currently stand at $450-Million.
“P/A costs” for a big-budget film are AT LEAST EQUAL TO THE PRODUCTION COST! And in order for ‘B’ship’ to NOT be considered a failure, it’ll have to return 1.4 X ‘known costs’ = 1.4 X $450-Million = $630-Million. <<—again, "Battleship" must return OVER 1/2 BILLION DOLLARS NOT TO BE A FAILURE..!! http://www.deadline.com/2011/09/kagan-the-help-is-the-most-profitable-film-from-a-month-with-few-successes
"Battleship" is projected to return $125-Million U.S. and $300-Million foreign = $425-Million. <—FAILURE..!!
And with the growing bad reviews and bad-Battleship-is-a-Transformers-rippoff-word-of-mouth it's now getting, I seriously doubt 'B'ship' will do $135-Million U.S. !!
As "Holy Water And Crucifix" is to Dracula, so too is "Reading And Comprehension" to 'Camp-Fenty'…
… so I'll save you-all the torture: "Rihanna will be 'the face' of a $450-Million disaster-at-sea: 'Battleship'"

bring the true tea none of that fanpage s*** cause THAT S*** IS OUT !
@POP ROYALTY ( RUDE BOY)
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see the same people still arguing about the same two people months after they’ve already collaborated with each other i s*** never will change .
I actually think if CB would promote more and I don’t know what direction he was going with this album. He released Strip from his mixed tape and I don’t know who told him that song was a lead single, because to me it isn’t really a top single. Turn up the Music did a little better than Yeah 3x on the chart, it charted at number #10 and Yeah 3x charted at #12. But like last year CB released Look at me now, which was fire off back and now he released that song with Wiz and Big Sean which is ok to me. Last year he released She ain’t you, was a great song, I love that song, Whats next for him to release. I think CB needs to get back to focusing on his music and put out some fire. Personally it seems like he is promoting KMAC, Karrueche and the others in CBE. I personally think he should’ve waited to help his friends out until he get another platinum album and back on top like 3 years ago.

Who cares if you buy an Usher CD? Shut up and buy it!
As for the claims of”generic music”….LOL…. wasn’t it Usher who said he was developing an new “revolutionary style” of music? A style/type of music in which he can be KING of cause he will never be the KING OF POP that’s MICHAEL JACKSON, the KING OF R&B that’s R. KELLY, the KING OF THE SWING that’s BENNY GOODMEN or the KING OF ROCK N’ ROLL that’s ELVIS…….LOL
#Hater’sSitAllTheWayDown
—————————————————–
ok what’s your point honey? whether u call Usher king or not, he is better and more successful than Chris in every way possible. dont make me break it down for u. u know go the ageism route ok but “old” Usher is selling out more arenas than vocally-prepubscent Chris so i guess the ladies are into “old”. Frankly the only thing old is Chris’ last hot 100 no1 albeit trend-biting singles
—————————————————————————–
Your name precedes you you clocked her with intellect, superb!
If Chris Brown decides to sing Pitbull or FloRida songs, he’ll get Pitbull or FloRida album sales. Simple as that.
I like “Turn Up The Music” but I won’t buy 12 songs like that one.
When Usher was 23, he released “U remind me” and “U got it bad”, two of his greatest songs. I don’t mind Chris being in love with Karwash but can he tell us love stories like he used to? All that s** thing doesn’t work for him, nobody wants to hear that all the dam* time.
“The “Battleship” final-get-to-theater cost will be $450-Million.”
@ST&D
According to whom, you? You must have me confused with one of your little mindless minions dumb enough to believe half the s*** you type. Battleship wasn’t even mentioned in the article you linked to, and the overwhelming majority of the films mentioned in that article didn’t make over 100M in ten days. Battleship is projected to gross 350M overseas, and it’s on track to do that and then some. It’s pointless talking about shadowy promo/production rubrics for films that didn’t even come close to grossing the type of money at the box office in ten weeks, that Battleship has grossed in ten days. Post your receipt with the “final-get –to-theater cost” for BATTLESHIP, so we can all see it. If not, sit down.
Once again, you have no evidence proving what the promo budget for Battleship was. As usual, you’re making up s***. Battleship still has overseas markets that it hasn’t opened in yet, so prepare for more grosses and more #1 box office openings before May 18th (US premiere). As for the extra 50M in promo, I already explained that.

WHY DO YOU TYPE IN ALL UPPER-CASE..?!
Do you know how annoying it is to ready someone who screams atop their lungs?! No, you don’t..!! ..Well, let me tell you, it’s very difficult.
LAX, you see, unlike your fellow “Camp-Fenty-ites/Rihanna Navy”: “GG” and “MARI”, I JUST L-O-V-E TO READ! I’ll even hack my way through the overgrowth and read all your comments!! True-True!
..And, as I said, unlike your-all over at Camp-Fenty/Rihanna Navy, we here, over on the ‘Team-Breezy’ side, we LOVE TO READ – can’t get enough. We read everything you-all post – from the frequent “raging drivel”, to the “leap-year” “screaming pseudo-logic”.
..Look, the way I see it, there’s still much to learn from the one-cell amoeba, right?
..So, I read it all.. But, can you, just for once, post comment without typing in all upper case..?!

I don’t know why people insist on going back and forth to prove a point. Usher and Chris Brown are great entertainer.. both will do great… It is amazing the same 6 or 7 people comment over and over again making this 117 comments. You people stay giving this site hints.. Sam is living it up… Whenever there is something negative about Chris or if Chris vs someone he gets lots of comments. Its sad that you people feed off of the negative. Chris is doing great!! No matter what you 6 or 7 people say. He traveling, doing mega concerts, morning tv shows, movies, writing, directing, award shows, and so on… you people are still sitting behind a computer typing BSing. Go out and live.
Also since they are both on the same label… Chances are RCA is doing the same as Jive did last year with Britney… Both will debut at #1… Giving RCA more bragging points.. Think… Duh! Record label do not want to lose money… it is a win-win situation from both artist.. Usher appeals to older crowd and Chris appeal to younger crowd.
Girl what is your point Battleship rakin in more money than Taker’s and Think like a man combined without premiering in the US LOL
_____________
Takers made 100mil or better even though it cost $19-20mil to make. So the movie made it’s money back 5 times or more over. Lets see if Battleship can make a 5 times or more over their $250mil plut cost to make.

@MARI re: April 22, 2012 at 4:44 pm —
Let us put aside sophomoric name-calling for the moment, shall we?
..I’ll entertain any logical question posed! That said – let us agree that the “metric” as used by Keegan SNL, and referenced by deadline is indeed…”Industry Standard”, yes? (http://www.deadline.com/2011/09/kagan-the-help-is-the-most-profitable-film-from-a-month-with-few-successes/) Therefore: 1.4 X ‘known costs’ = on-the-ball/not-a-failure. And, 1.75 X ‘known costs’ = Success!
..But what IS included in that article, that which is vitally important is: “which don’t include distribution fees, overhead, interest, profit participation, and residuals”
Now, let us use the now familiar-equal-to-Battleship-in-production-budget $200-M “John Carter” as reference, agreed?
“‘John Cater’ cost Disney $350-Million to Produce AND to Market” (//www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/john-carter-box-office-disney-flop-298610) ‘JC’ had cost $200-Million to actually make, and $150-Million in final “bring-to-theater-costs”. Now, go and see how many more places “Battleship” is running overseas, and then compare the two. You’ll see that “Battleship” is running in as many places – on as much screens: “Battleship, currently 50-countries. “John Carter” showed in 54-countries.
..And here’s what you’d neglected to included in that deadline article: “The pressure is on for the film to do well in the 50 territories where it’s now open — including China and Russia — because of its advance bad buzz and very expensive budget. (The studio claims the cost was $209M while outside sources say $250M.)” deadline(dotcom)/hollywood/
..Now, that “outside sources say $250-Million,” does NOT include the just added $50-Million, just-included to the marketing budget. So, as it currently stands, “Battleship” has a “real” cost of $300-Million – NOT INCLUDING P/A from overseas, OR the North America!
The FINAL get to theater costs = Production Budget + P/A (Prints And Advertising). the-numbers(dotcom)/glossary.php: “The average P&A budget for a major studio release was $34.5 million the last time the MPAA reported the figure in 2006 (spends are generally believed to have risen since then).costs for a film”
“Battleship” is no “major release” it’s a “big tent-pole blockbuster” as was “John Carter”, with a P/A to match!
..So let’s use “old, ordinary-film-not-big-tent-pole-blockbuster p/a numbers” regarding ‘B’ship’: “outside sources $250-Milliion production budget” + “just added $50-Million to already-existing-but-not-factored-in p/a budget” + “old 2006, not-blockbuster $34.5-Million p/a cost” = $334.5-Million.
So using Deadline’s own kagan SNL metric of failure: 1.4 X “known costs” = 1.4 X $334.5-Million = $468.3-Million has to be made in order for “Battleship” NOT TO BE A FAILURE..!! Currently Deadline projects $300-M overseas, and $125-Million domestic, so 300 + 125 = $425-Million World Wide. $468.3-Million > $425-Million, yes?
..And as I said, this does NOT include the cost of getting “Battleship” to-can-be-now-seen-on-overseas screens: P/A overseas cost in 50-countries!! And like I sad, for “John Carter” the P/A cost ALONE was $150-Million!!

LOL, I don’t see where RCA is going with Usher nor do I care. I’ve only heard one song from his pending CD yet it will be released in June? What kind of work does Usher have to do on his CD before RCA will release it? They should have released this CD on May 8! This delay is to aid another artist not Chris!
@Mobwife, It really doesn’t matter, I will always support CB even if I don’t like some of the songs. Love him. Off the subject I went to see Think Like a man the other day, CB did so good, I wish they would give him bigger roles. He probably will do good in a romantic comedy, because he is naturally funny in real life. Kevin Hart is a n**, had me laughing through the movie. I see this movie brought out a whole lot of couples, I went with my boyfriend, he knows how much I love CB. He actually gets jealous sometimes. I actually lie about who I am researching on the computer. I always telling that I am shopping for shows, LOL, but he knows who I am searching on the web.
I mean’t I am always shopping for shoes.
I wanted to go see Think like a man with my girls so I can freely lust over the men on the screen,CB and Michael Ealy, but my boyfriend wanted to see the movies, so we went together. So I had to secretly lust, LOl, but it really was a great move. CB album will do fine, he probably will perform at the billboard award and Bet, which is great promo.

“Battleship is projected to gross 350M overseas, and it’s on track to do that and then some” …?! <–O~o ..Oh..?!
Could you please post a link? I just checked 'deadline' and this was all I got regarding the matter: "My sources project the film could steam past $300M foreign box office based on current trends." <–http://www.deadline.com/?s=Battleship
As I'd said in my previous comment:
from deadline: "The studio claims the cost was $209M while outside sources say $250M." – http://www.deadline.com/?s=Battleship
from deadline: Additional $50-Million added to "Battleship" promotion budget – deadline(dotcom)/2012/03/toldja-universal-rounds-up-promotional-partners-for-battleship/
from by-the-numbers.com: The average P&A budget for a major studio release was $34.5 million the last time the MPAA reported the figure in 2006 (spends are generally believed to have risen since then). – /www.the-numbers(dotcom)/glossary.php
And, I might add "Battleship" is no "major studio release". It's a "big tent pole blockbuster", so that old, from 2006, $34.5-Million is very, very, very lowball! That said, let's still use it to as our total P/A cost…
1.) $250-Million production budget.
2.) $50-Million just-added-to-promotion.
3.) $34.5-Million, though old, from 2006, and for an average movie, p/a.
Total of $334.5-Million. Now, mind you this does NOT include include distribution fees, overhead, interest, profit participation, and residuals. So, that said, using Kegan SNL's Metric of 1.4 X known costs = 1.4 X 334.5-Million = $468.3-Million must be earned NOT to be considered a failure!
Currently, referencing deadline and boxoffice the foreign returns are projected to be $300-Million, and the U.S. returns at $125-Million = $425-Million. $468.3 – $425 = $43.3-Million in-the-red!

JUST THE FACTS..
..That’ll setting once-and-for-all all the Usher-better-than Chris drivel:
Usher was a 26-y/o, back in 2004, when “Confessions” was released.
Usher is a NOW a 33-y/o, who was only seen last year, while onstage in Europe, having to end-early, an actual concert, due to…”exhaustion”.
Chris Brown is a spritely 22-y/o with boundless energies, and most of all – TIME to make mistakes, grow, and THEN learn from them. Lest we forget he has a highly-mobile, and ‘knee-jerk reactionary’ fan-base..!!
NO ARTIST CAN NOW SELL AS THEY ONCE HAD: ITunes, Digital Piracy – whatever! If “Thriller” was released today, it’d have NOT sold 50-Million WW. If Adelene’s “21″ was released..say 8-years ago, it’d have sold FAR more than that now 10-Million in-total WW.
Chris Brown has accomplished MORE than Usher as a 22-y/o:
1.) Chris Brown is the undisputed BEST DANCER currently to walk the Pop-culture landscape.
2.) Chris Brown is currently the undisputed BEST SHOWMAN to set-foot on any stage.
3.) What TV/Cable Award/Entertainment shows had Usher closed, or appeared in that drew an average 3.0 Neilsen?
4.) Chris’ DWTS appearance drew a still-record-standing 19-Million viewers.
5.) Chris Brown has added to his pedigree: co-star, who had the longest screen-face-time, of a #1-Movie – “TAKERS” – which has returned upwards of, by now, $100-Million. He also was prominent in said film’s marketing/promotion, AND was its EXECUTIVE PRODUCER – AS A 20-Y/O..!!
So let us NOW stop the foolish, deflecting “Usher vs. Chris” arguments: Usher HAD his time. Chris is only NOW j-u-s-t beginning to come into his!
*Meh..* Album delay..?! Who cares..?! If any, this’ll give him time to “rev-up” Team-Breezy to a fever-pitch.. “They” said his fans would abandon him. “They” said no one ever-before had ever gone through such a thing (Feb 8th, 2009 Chrianna) and survived – “they” said he was FINISHED..!! “They” said “F.A.M.E” would flop. “They” sald “Takers” would flop, as all the white cast-member – AND ZOE SALDANA – wanted nothing to do with the film; sure proved “them” wrong! “They” sure talk alot, but those who really count – ALL OF US HERE, OUT ON THE BLOGS – weren’t listening to “them” – F*** OPRAH! F*** TYRA BANKS! F*** JAY-Z! F*** HARVEY LEVIN! ..F***-ALL-”THEM”..!!
I’m glad to see the Team-Breezy haters are now coming out of the wood-work. You’re, only again, stoking the “US-VERSUS-THEM” fires that had propelled Chris BACK again on top!

But the good news is CB movie will be number 1, which is really good. Glad to see so many people went out to support the movie. I live in the suburbs and they rarely play black movies, and I was surprise that they were playing this movie and there was a nice turn out for CB movie. Will Packer movies always seems to go number #1. I think CB was in almost all of his movies except for the one with Beyonce and Idris.

YES, ‘THINK LIKE A MAN’ WAS EXCELLENT
“I see this movie brought out a whole lot of couples, I went with my boyfriend, he knows how much I love CB. He actually gets jealous sometimes”
AHHH, HOW CUTE! I’m glad you two enjoyed the movie! I’m also very happy it has done so well an est 30k in 3 days. I’m looking forward to Chris’ next Gem Screen movie. He works very well with Will Packard IMO!
RCA is a mess…basically, they merged Jive and are just more messy…I’ve only seen good promo for Kelly Clarkson from RCA..that’s it…I bet Chris Brown moves to Epic with LA Reid after this album…I hope they get it right with Usher…I repeat, RCA is a mess….
@ xyz I saw it in New Jersey, I am impressed 30 million, its actually did better than Will last movies. I love his movies, I have nothing against Tyler Perry, but his movies seem like a whole lot of male bashing. I love to see romantic comedies like Think like a man, This Christmas, or Obsessed, something different than our traditional angry black woman, or gangs,drug movies.
I still wish dude nothing but the best! But he’s really gotta find a concept and stick with it his music as of lately is just all over the place I DON’T GET IT, at least somebody realized it lets hope everything works out.
Chris is good, but Usher is in another league. The Breezy stans are cluless. Usher is young also, but he’s mature. His new song is very fresh and far from generic. He has a huge following . When you are featured on too many singles that isn’t always good.
Usher and CB comparisms aren’t necessary, since they didn’t come out around the same time. But if they must be compared, Usher at 22 wasn’t really as popular as CB is at 22. But by 2004 at 26, Usher accomplished things that I can’t imagine CB ever accomplishing; his first #1 album, which sold over a million in the 1st week and eventually went diamond, Usher achieved 4 #1 singles in that same year, etc.
Vocally, CB hasn’t reached Usher’s level yet, and it’s very unlikely that he will ever be as vocally talented as Usher(not saying that Usher is the greatest, but he can hold his own vocally). CB has the voice of a child sometimes. In dancing, I don’t care who does it better, because at the end of the day, people buy the record even before videos are released. The vocals are more important the dancing, so Usher is a better vocalist. CB isn’t even on Trey Songz’s or Ne-Yo’s level vocally. Even Mario can sing better than CB
He better do something because all these push backs are gonna make people forget about the Cd because of all the upcoming releases. (Lil Twist, Justin Bieber, Brandy, Mary J. Blidge, Usher..exc..) I’m saying, he has no reason for the push back. He stays in the studio and has been recording since May 2011 because if you remember, he first said that it would be a double disk, F.A.M.E. AND Fortune… then he just did F.A.M.E. Then he said fortune would be the second half released 6 months prior to F.A.M.E., in September because F.A.M.E. was released in March. Then Kevin McCall said a December date, then they switched it to the first quarter of 2012. Then Chris decided to do it in March again, because F.A.M.E. was released in March and it would be some kind of anniversary. That was the OFFICIAL DATE! Then he pushed it back to May to release it and few days before or after his B-Day (IDK his B-day) so the sales would be like a B-day gift. He even said on twitter something like “i was born May 5th (i think), Fortune is his 5 album and exc..” NOW WE GET IT IN JULY!! Like WTF! What could we possibly have to wait on? He keep releasing all these DAMN song. What is he gonna release the entire Cd before the release. I wou;dn’t be surprised if it leaked!! If this CD don’t make me have an orgasm every time i hear it, imma find him and chop what enables HIM to have orgasms..because we’ve been waiting over a year for this CD that you just keep promising!

Total = $334.5-Million. Now, mind you, this does NOT include distribution fees, overhead, interest, profit participation, and residuals. So, that said, using Kagan SNL's Metric of 1.4 X known costs = 1.4 X 334.5-Million = $468.3-Million must be earned in order for "Battleship" NOT to be considered a "failure"!
So referencing deadline and boxoffice, the foreign returns are projected to be $300-Million, and the U.S. returns at $125-Million = $425-Million. $468.3 – $425 = $43.3-Million in-the-red!
As I'd said, this "BIBLICAL", $450-Million disaster-at-sea (using my "John Carter-esque final-cost numbers"), is one failure the "Rihanna Navy", will not wriggle, slighter, deflect, nor scapegoat y'all way outta. This..epic Titanic-like disaster is one that Rihanna will herself own, and will literally be the "very face of".

“He better do something because all these push backs are gonna make people forget about the Cd because of all the upcoming releases. (Lil Twist, Justin Bieber, Brandy, Mary J. Blidge, Usher..exc..)”
I think I can safely say, Team-Breezy does NOT support Brandy, Mary J. Blige, Old-Man Usher, nor Justin Bieber! “Team-Breezy” is unique, and thus set-apart!
You-all said “F.A.M.E” would also flop! You-all said “Takers” would flop! You-all even said, after liar, no-talent hack Rihanna had done spreading her lies that his career was finished.
..But there’s just one thing: “WE”, the ones who REALLY matter: the ones who reach for our credit cards, WE don’t give a damn what YOU, or Oprah, Tyra, Harvey Levin said. F***…YOU…ALL..!!
At the very least, Chris has expanded far-beyond past his ‘F.A.M.E’ base. Unlike ‘Rihanna’s singles-buying base, we’ll support OURS..!!
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT..!!
I still think it’s stupid to compare Usher and Chris Brown. Chris Brown still needs to grow however i do think that pushing back this album is a good idea considering that every song on the radio he is ft on. i would love it if Chris went the urban route and added his Pop songs as CD fillers. I think at this point everybody wants to hear the soulful Chris Brown.
@X,Y, “AND Z”….FOR ONE YOU LITTLE PUCH LINE “X,Y,Z- AND OIT” IS COMPLETELY RETARDED…AND TWO, DAMN, YOU MAKE TEAM BREEZY SOUND LIKE THE MIRACLE MAKERS…where were yall went Grafitti (his best CD to date) was released because that got no where….what did you do, support his f****** crazed rampage on good morning america, some damn fans you are..and i said nothing about you guys supporting the artist i named, i was basically saying that people are gonna be more focused on those albums if he keeps pushing it back because we’ll have heard almost everything off the album if he keeps releasing this “free” music…it won’t be new…and when did i name Oprah, Tyra or anyone else you named…clearly you are worried about what they’ll say about your DOWN-LOW, anger issued, “i wanna be different but i’m not” FAV!!! i spoke and can only speak for myself…and he wouldn’t talk to them anyways because like he said in “How I Feel” he don’t do interviews..because he fears somebody putting him in his place like on GMA…clearly he doesn’t understand the term “interview”…i wish Rihanna would just tell the truth to what REALLY went down and stop keeping it in because it WILL erupt someday..altho I already know and the clues are in his music alot…anyways, so yeah…hopefully Team Breezy is there for this CD because it’s gettin kind of old…

Sorry, don’t know him. i only know top 10 artists 🙂

“where were yall went Grafitti (his best CD to date) was released because that got no where”
Kayla, I purchased some 10 physical copies (CDs), and hundreds of dollars worth of “Graffiti” singles! You see, the rest of “Team-Breezy” was still ‘caught-up’ in the ‘web of lies and deceit’ that Oprah Winfrey, Tyra Banks, and Harvey Levin had then spun to trap the unaware and weary..
..BUT YOURS TRULY KNEW BETTER:
“Sources say Rihanna was the first one to strike — slapping and striking Brown “numerous times” while he was driving, after seeing the text message from another woman. And Rihanna was fighting Brown. We’re told much of this is reflected in the official police report based on what Rihanna told cops.”
http://www.tmz.com/2009/03/09/brown-wants-misdemeanor-plea-no-jail-time/
“what did you do, support his f****** crazed rampage on good morning america, some damn fans you are”
Absolutely! And you wanna know what else I did? ..YOU DO..?? ..Well, I fell to my knees and pleaded, beseeched with/to ‘Lord God On High’ to have Robyn Roberts’ cancer revisit her, and to then make her exit from this world a lengthy and tortuous one!
“i was basically saying that people are gonna be more focused on those albums if he keeps pushing it back”
(again..) What does the “others” you’d mentioned have to do with Chris, or ‘Team-Breezy’..?! East Is East, West Is West: we couldn’t care less what you, or “others” think, or are doing, and, I guess, the reciprocate in return. It’s either “us or them “people”, and we have OUR agenda, and you’ll, I guess, have yours!
“because we’ll have heard almost everything off the album if he keeps releasing this “free” music…it won’t be new”
Had Chris released all the tracks from ‘FORTUNE’? If not, then how can you make your statement – what is it based on? If you have a viable link to a site that has published the track list from “Fortune”, then feel free to post it, K?
“and when did i name Oprah, Tyra or anyone else you named…clearly you are worried about what they’ll say about your DOWN-LOW, anger issued, “i wanna be different but i’m not” FAV!!!”
^^WARNING! WARNING! — NON SEQUITUR ALERT! — WARNING! WARNING!!
“clearly he doesn’t understand the term “interview””
There’s an “interview”, an “ambush interview”, and then there’s the “gotcha interview”. GMA, Robin Roberts in particular, practices a particularly virulent strain of “gotcha journalism”. But it’s of little consequence, because, if you’d notice, immediately after that interview, a ‘19,000-strong Team-Breezy contingent’ went to support our boy at that NBC Summer Concert Series, which set a still-standing live-attendance record! So you can tell Robin Roberts to chew on THAT when she’s counting the saline-chemo therapy drips when she’s bedridden and bouncing between this world and the next..
“i wish Rihanna would just tell the truth to what REALLY went down and stop keeping it in because it WILL erupt someday..altho I already know and the clues are in his music alot”
K, this tells me much: you weren’t really paying attention, and/or you just ate-up the “put-your-brain-to-sleep” slop Tyra Banks, Oprah Winfrey, and Harvey Levin then spoon-fed the masses. But let me again reference TMZ’s very-own material/sources on the “Feb 8th, 2009 Chrianna” matter (again):
“Sources say Rihanna was the first one to strike — slapping and striking Brown “numerous times” while he was driving, after seeing the text message from another woman. And Rihanna was fighting Brown. We’re told much of this is reflected in the official police report based on what Rihanna told cops.”

“…anyways, so yeah…hopefully Team Breezy is there for this CD because it’s gettin kind of old…”
It’s “getting old” – TO YOU!! “You” were never “Team-Breezy” to begin with – if you were, you’d have never “wished for Rihanna to tell the truth” because you’d had ALREADY knew what happened! That said, if “YOU” find that it’s “getting old” then go support someone else – leave us to our devices. We were fine BEFORE you, we’ll be just ‘peachy keen’ AFTER you..!!

Chris is good, but Usher is in another league. The Breezy stans are cluless. Usher is young also, but he’s mature. His new song is very fresh and far from generic. He has a huge following . When you are featured on too many singles that isn’t always good.

HA HA HA HA HA 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
I am going to have to stop clicking on this link! The pure comedy I keep reading and the laughter that ensues is going to get me fired! LOL 🙂
Usher Raymond at 33, the former “happily” married man and father of two ADORABLE young sons should be “mature”! If age, a failed marriage, and fatherhood doesn’t cause you to take inventory of your life and make a change, then WHAT WILL?
Now, by featured on too many singles do you mean like:
David Guetta – Without You ft. Usher
Romeo Santos Feat. Usher – Promise
Justin Bieber – First Dance ft.Usher
Justin Bieber – Somebody To Love Remix ft. Usher
Gucci Mane – Spotlight ft.Usher
DJ Khaled – Fed Up ft.Usher
Babyface- Bedtime ft.Usher
Listen, I like Usher but his STANS are tad crazy! They are forever in a Chris Brown post running over Chris. We all know that both Chris and Usher are student’s of Michael Jackson and therefore have some similarities but geez come on. Both are very talented and appeal to similar and different groups. Why can’t we just leave it at that?
@XYandZ,

MWAH, blowing kisses at you for this one! 🙂
I still look at that S**** with a side-eye glance after she had the nerve to mistreat Chris while constantly coddling ACTUAL MEN WHO TRULY ABUSE WOMEN like Charlie Sheen (shot Kelly Preston, strangled Denise Richards, stabbed Brook Muller) and Sean Penn (beat wives Robin Wright and POP ICON Madonna)!
I feel the same why about that no good, low-down former CRACK SMOKER & PROSITUTE Oprah Windfrey (see Kitty Kelly). She ran 2-year-old Chris Brown completely over while fawning over ADULT P********* like Jerry Seinfeld (caught opening SCREWING 17-year-old high school student) and WIFE BEATERS like so-called folk legend James Taylor (beat the hell out of folk singer Carly Simon for many years). The b*tch is sickening I’m glad her network is failing!
I don’t know him
@MOB WIFE IM BOUT TO SHUT YOU DOWN CAUSE YOU BEEN RUNNING YOUR MOUTH THOUGH THIS WHOLE PAGE OF COMMENTS ITS ANNOYING..YOU CANT COMPARE CHRIS BROWN TO USHER CAUSE USHERS STAT SHEET IS TO LARGE FOR CHRIS TO BE IN A CONVERSATION YET..USHER 7 GRAMMYS..CHRIS 1 GRAMMY..USHER CONFESSIONS DIAMOND 10X..CHRIS FAME BARELY PLATNUM HIS HIGHES SELLING ALBUM WAS HIS FIRST 3X PLATNUM USHERS MY WAY ALBUM SOLD MORE THAN THAT 6X PLATNUM..USHER NO LEGAL ISSUES..CHRIS BEATS HIS GIRLFRIEND RIHANNA..USHER SELLS OUT ARENAS I MEAN LETS BE REAL EVERY BODY ABD THERE MAMA WENT TO HIS OMG TOUR..CHRIS BROWN HAS TO SHARE A TOUR WITH MINDLESS BEHAVIOR AND DIGGY OR SOMETHING SCREAM TOUR 25 LMAO THAT WAS A JOKE BUT CHRIS DONT SELL OUT ARENAS IS MY POINT..I LIKE CHRIS DONT GET ME WRONG BUT IT IS DERESPECTFUL TO PUT CRIS ON USHERS LEVEL..AND PLEASE STOP BRINGING UP MJ THE OTHERS ARE RIGHT NO ONE SAID NOTHIN ABOUT MJ YOU RUNNING TO MJ BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THE ALBUM SALES AND STATS TO HANDLE USHERS LOL CAUSE YOU KNOW DAMN WELL CHIS BROWN HASNT DONE ANYTHING USHER HAS DONE YET.. #NAILINCOFFIN
@the one
Listen, you’re incapable of “shuting me down”! And this is a Chris Brown post so you’re DAMN RIGHT I’m going to “run my mouth” in defense of my boy (f*ck what you think or have to say about it)! AGAIN, for those in the crowd who obviously suffer from LEARNING DEFICITS, I don’t give a damn about Usher Raymond one way or another. His stats are irrelevant to me. Whatever he has achieved in his many years (18 years to be exact) in the music industry since his 1994 debut CD, “Usher”, FINE…BLAH, BLAH, BLAH…..Again, it has nothing to do with Chris Brown and his 6 years in the music industry! Shouldn’t you achieve in 18 years or trying? *Kanye shrug* ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wait did you say Chris Brown doesn’t sell out “ARENAS”…wow you really don’t know what you are talking about do you?..LMAO
LOL, dear I don’t need to “the others” to validate what I have to say! You ppl keep draggng up Usher’s name as a viable competitor to CB as if he’s MICHAEL JACKSON ! If you want to compare stats then yes let’s do! I’ll dredge up the KING’s and toss up Usher’s! In Usher’s 18 years in the music industry, NOTHING HE HAS DONE CAN COMPARE to MJ so “stick a sock in it”!
All this foolishness about you trying to ” READ ME” ha ha ha….you’d come out better READING A BOOK!
