Love him or hate him, there’s just no denying Chris Brown’s skill as a live act.
Easily third behind Beyonce and Lady GaGa when it comes to this generation’s strongest entertainers, today saw Brown serve an epic set at ‘The Today Show’ in support of his new LP ‘Fortune’.
Watch his full set below…
![Miguel Announces New Single 'Always Time' / Unlocks Preview [Listen]](https://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/miguel-new-music-2024-2025-tgj-464x260.jpg "Miguel Announces New Single 'Always Time' / Unlocks Preview [Listen].")
He needs to stop milking this single!!!! Where is promo for Sweet Love?! That’s my song! Hell, Don’t Wake Me Up could have been this performance.
OH WELL..
Still can’t wait for this album!
I think he tried to sing “TV FRIENDLY” songs! Can you imagine if he broke down “SWEET LOVE” at 8:30AM LOL you know tongues would have been waging about that! 🙂
Personally, I was looking for him to sing Beautiful People as that continues to be an international hit! I love TUTM and it continues to be a well requested track for him. Sometimes you have to milk what’s working for you until it no longer does! Adele road “Rolling in the Deep” until the wheels rolled off and I wasn’t mad about that! It continues to be 1 of my favorites from her!
Fortune July 3…Yeah 3X (<— he even sang my jam) 🙂
He schreeched Forever with liv autotuned and did average on Turn up the music, I always think his dancing is too sloppy to be a coreography it looks like an on the spot freestyle ALL THE TIME! Epic? Not really…. Good? Ok…
The thing is Forever uses autotune all over the song.. That’s why even when performing it he uses the autotune mic..
what’s up with all these dance pop songs? Now ciara have a song called Super Turnt Up, a know of from Chris Brown.
*knock Off*
Ciara Has song “Turn it up” feat usher on Basic instinct __/ pls and since when has chris created that title
Dance pop songs are what’s in right now. That’s why everybody from Nicki Minaj, Chris and Ne-Yo are doing it. They’re selling and popping off in the clubs.
Woman beater!
fame has sold how much? loool. Dont bother b****.
872,000 Copies in the U.S.
It’s actually a great number considering ‘LOUD’ is platinum in the U.S. and ‘Talk that Talk’ sold 900,000 copies.
Her European sales are really high, but their actually not as far off as you may think in the U.S.
You don’t have to try so hard to make him seem unsuccessful.
whats the relevancy in comparing his sales to Rihanna’s? If you guys want him to distance himself from the situation and move on with his career, then stop using Rihanna as a crutch for everything. Damn. And youre right, you dont have to try so hard to make him seem unsuccessful cuz he does that easily on his own. YOU dont have to try so hard to make him seem successful in this stage in his career. So have a SEVERAL seats.
Thank you!
His CD is platinum WW just like Rihanna’s previous CD! I don’t care if I purchased the only copy, I love it & still jam to F.A.M.E. til this very day!
Oh well, hater’s are going to hate, what can you do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And Rihanna is a MAN BEATER seeing that she swung first 3 years ago.
GET THE F**K OVER IT! Rihanna has!
he did dont wake me up too……he was AMAZING.
don’t wake me up!!! love that song!!
great performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So instead of lip-syncing as he always does he decides to use auto-tune.
Look, cut out the BS!!! I sat right on the side of the stage and watched the kid sing and dance for 40 minutes straight. The Yeah song required autotune, it’s an effect. CB can do better but you can’t deny the dudes talent. He’s the best male artist in the game and has the potential to be the very best artist if he can pull it all together. Aint no hype with CB cause the dude is for real he just needs to dare to be great.
He’s a good dancer, no one is taking that away from him. But, he never really excels at singing live, point blank. Yes, he does high energy performances but he is a singer.
He should BALANCE singing and dancing. He’s a singer first. If he wants to dance alot than maybe he should rethink his career. Dancing can only take you so far.
Chris Rock dissed Chris Brown this morning LOL.
@Jil
Yea Chris Rock dissed Chris Brown & Tiger Woods. So what else is new. Chris, Beyonce,Rihanna, Drake,Nicki etc gets dissed. Just like you here dissing Chris so
STFU! He used the sound that made the song! When he sang TUTM you didn’t hear autotune as it was not part of he song’s composition! Hater you don’t like him or his music get the F**K ON!
Why did they push back the album if they are not gonna promote any other single besides TUTM. Hmm buzz seems to be fading quite fast, dunno if this album is gonna sell as well as his last.
He just released Don’t Wake Me UP and the video premiers on MONDAY! What are you talking about?
He has a lot of media hatred and general BS against him but I think he’ll fair well! They tried to dog him for the past 2 week accusing him of EVERY LIE they could think of in an attempt to turn ppl away from see him perform today! As you can see that scheme didn’t work as it has been reported that he actually brought more ppl into the Rockerfella Plaza TODAY then he did last year!
He’s on crack, very skinny.
What a disgusting thing to say!
Because your idol Kurt Cobain was a FILTHY, LONG TERM HEROIN AND COKE HEAD – who killed himself out of desperation – don’t cast aspersions on to Chris Brown!
I say that because he looks very skinny, don0t take things so seriously, God people on this site are….—-by the way Kurt Cobain was a great musician, he’s personal problems are not of my interest.
I was late going to work today, because I was watching CB on TV. CB was great and I loved that he showed his vocals with Turn up the music. People are always going to find something to complain about, but he couldn’t sing his urban songs because they are too sexual. There were too many little kids there. There were 5 yrs old in the audience. CB sung his dance songs to entertain everyone including the small children who likes to watch him dance.
@Zania, True
THANK YOU! I just said the same thing! He performed his “TV/RADIO FRIENDLY” songs just like everyone else does! Could you imagine if he had sang SWEET LOVE & NO BS at 8:30 AM on public access TV! Girl….LOL 🙂
I am so pissed right now, I was so hyped to see him perform especially that he broke the attendance record here last year, His performances were so weak damn! after all that criticism and Teambreezy defending you, you still go out there and give half-assed performances…autotune? lip syncing? the dancing was wack( didnt put much effort) but hey the crowd was hype atleast some where. I dont get it he can sing but I dont whats wrong with this boy and now my only hope is that Fortune doesnt flop because people who musical intellect can get turned off by this smh…or is it just me? his last great performance was AMA 2011 in November. #justsaying.
S***! my last post is all over the place, I was steaming LOL!
Actually Turn up the music was great, I don’t know what you were watching. I didn’t see Don’t wake me up, but from reading comments on Rap everyone is saying he did good with Don’t wake me up. Chris remind me of Lebron, no matter what he doesn’t people is going to find flaw. Watch bieber concert and people won’t criticize him like CB and I know CB be bringing it.
@Zania
I watch the whole entire concert and the stage was quite small but Chris did a great job. Don’t Wake Me Up he did a great job also singing live. Now that person who was talking big s*** about Chris is NOT Teambreezy or a Fan. I was on twitter the whole entire time and people was given the link to see Chris perform. Everyone so far said that Chris did a great job. Chris audience was of all ages also. So don’t listen to that person because all he/she is here to put Chris performance down PERIOD/.
@Zania,
I’m not really sure what @CBE wants for this kid? I thought he did well! Ive seen him live in concert and he’s just a great performer. I’m a tad tired of the constant negativity this young man receives. We know he had a fight 3 years ago with Rihanna..AND? Everyone drones on aboubt that shI*t 24/7 while claiming he hasn’t changed and he isn’t performing up to par and BLAH, BLAH, BAL! Damn just be happy he has he strength and courage to continue on! Driving him out of the industry I truly believe is the PTBs goal. I hope he continues to move forward under these conditions. The kid is only 23. Leave him the f**k alone!
Team breezy should be proud chris got his tpain and mime act ONNNNNNNNNNN! AND danced like a modern day bobby brown!
meanwhile Usher is somewhere laughing…
LOL
Why would Usher be laughing. Did you see that crowd it was twice Usher’s crowd. Chris even broke his own record of 18,000 plus last year. So Usher laughing, I think not.
Laughing about what? Did you see Usher’s bullsh** Today Show perform with him, his mother, 2 sons and latest freakazoid in attendance? Mean while Chris Brown broke the record he set last year for the largest crowd by ANY ARTIST to EVER GIVE A LIVE MORNING SHOW PERFORMANCE!
Laugh on fool….. 🙂
Now they can’t say he didn’t sing! You saw him dance still right? NOW GET OFF HIS D*** FOR GOOD & DON’T RETURN! this kid is Amazing no matter how hard people try to bring him down. He gave you what you wanted NATURALLY he would have given you a bit more dance but SOME OLIVER TWIST THAT NEVER GETS SATISFIED just made hime give you exactly what you wanted. FORTUNE in July 3rd…Get em TeamBreezy!
BRAVO…WELL SAID DEAR! 🙂
I wondered how he would handle that BS critcism? I love to see him dance and I hope he doesn’t let these animals take his love of dancing away to satisfy their noise and nonsense!
The best performers of this generation are Beyonce. Lady gaga. Ciara. Pink…. Chris lip syncs… All woman boys need to Bring it Usher is the best still
agreed !!!!!!!Usher is great. Beyonce and Gaga is in a league of their own.
LOL you said “Pank” so I know you are full of SH**!
Gaga is a gimmick she has no true perfromance ability. Each step is a stolen step from the book of MADONNA! Ciara, Beyonce like Chris are amazing peformers! Before you talk tthat lip sync BS chick beyonce’s live concerts she SINGS LIVE LEAD VOCALS OVE A BACK TRACK just like Cici, MJ, JJ, Madonna, Usher Raymond and yes CHRIS BROWN!
He can sing pretty well. Most of these euro-dance songs use auto-tune, so your going to hear it live, too.
I don’t get why people try to vail it if they don’t like him. If you don’t like him, you don’t like him. But trying to attack him as a performer is pointless. He’s talented.
Usher is an untouchable vocalist, but CB is good too.
True
he wins me back with Turn Up The Music !!! my jaaam
Honestly, if you see one Chris Brown performance, you’ve seen them all. Same lip-synching, autotune & tired a$$ dances.
http://www.Aaronomical.com
OMG YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well people love Chris. Did you not see the crowd? Even if he lip sync and dances the same the crowd still showed up to see him. Now I remember Usher when he was Chris age and his moves were the same all the time. He be jumping all over the place. But he’s older now and he’s more smooth and Chris will be at that point when he get’s Usher’s age.
I love me som CB but that auto tune mike gotz to go man!!! Annoying nuh backside, ugh! Love love, love turn up the music performance though. I could watch that over and over. Him singing and dancing, no autotune, no lip synching. Love it
i wish he would have performed sweet love. thats my fave song right now
Sweet love is too sexual for all those 5 year olds that was in the audience, don’t you think. Did you see his audience. Now at his concert he sings all of his songs, because parents have an option to let their children go to his concert, but he will not perform those songs on a family show and the public showed up of all ages.
i know, i know, i just cant wait to see him perform that live
A great performance, i see he did less dancing and more singing, he dance when he needed to dance and sung more, but a lot of autotune though…but he performed live and he proved a point to his hater about his performance and i was one who didnt approve
Forever sounds so bad with the autotune
They tone down the choreography on “Turn up the music” & that what they needed to do!!
No, I’m mad about that! He kills that video and I wanted to see him break it down …on the itch bity stage 🙂 <– I know he could really dance due to the limitd space but I love to see him perform and hope he doesn't change to statisfy those who will never give him credit for his abilities!
loved!!!!!!!!!!
*stands on brakes..screachhhhhhh* @TGJ Staff —
re: “Easily third behind Beyonce and Lady GaGa when it comes to this generation’s strongest entertainers” <— O~o
*Meh..* (..Just KNEW shade had to be in there) Chris Brown is THE best dancer, male OR female; has best command-of-stage male OR female – bar none!!
@TGJ Staff/Sam – I found an equally compelling, and as newsworthy a story: Beyonce's "miracle" diet. And trust – walking on water/water into wine – it WAS/IS nothing short of a "miracle" – and I know JUST how she did it. Here's Beyonce's secret: http://www.moonbump.com/
X,Y,"and Z" — OUT..!!
YOU SAW THAT VIDEO TOO LMFAO!
@XYZ
Now that’s a good one LMFAO
LOL 🙂
This boy, if the haters would leave him alone, can always slay a stage. He cut down on dancing which pisses me off! I hope he doesn’t allow those who dislike him to cause him to change his normal routine! They don’t like him so Screw’ em and what they have to say!
http://mrldavis.com/2012/06/05/video-mrldavis-live-leave-chris-brown-alone/
you might find this interesting!
Usher is WAY BETTER then Him.
Please, Usher is 33-yrs-old and has been in the game for 16+ years. How do you even compare that to CBs 6 1/2 years? That’s like saying the OBVIOUS, MICHAEL JACKSON (45 years in the game) is way better than Usher Raymond!
Gosh he bores me …..
U clicked on this link because????
@Blazinyella
He bores you? Seems like you hate Chris anyway so why did you click on his post. Now that was f***** dumb.
Great performances. But Bey is still and will always be better than him.
It is amazing that people bring up Beyonce and Usher to compare to CB, which both of them been in the game and both are vocalist than CB, but my opinion CB is more all around talented than both of them. He sings, the best dancer in the world,writer, director,actor, artist, his athletic abilities, basketballer player, gymanist, he brings so much talent to his artistry. Beyonce is very talented and is the best female perfomer of this time, but she doesn’t have all the around talent that CB has. You need other talent other than singing to stand out of all the other artist. look at J hud, excellent singer, but her amazing voice isn’t selling those albums.
so as far as you know Beyonce only sings huh? I rest my case
Have a seat.
http://mrldavis.com/2012/06/05/video-mrldavis-live-leave-chris-brown-alone/
Bravo! Very wel said….
I’m not sure why Rihanna or Ush or Bey’s names are always mentioned as some crazy alternative to CB. There is no alternative neither the aforementioned nor Jason Derulo and Justine Bieber are actual alternatives to CB. I wish ppl would realize folks are not desposable and cannot be discarded like trash. They are not interchangable parts as the media would lead ppl to think!
I think only thing that CB needs to improve on is he need to sing more at award shows and also try to do his amazing dance routine. If he can incorporate some live singing while dancing and finish his performance with an amazing dance routine, he will indeed be the king of entertaining. I think the reason that people think that Beyonce is the Queen of entertaining, is because she does both, but CB will blow her away with dancing if he would just practice singing and dancing at the same time. He did great with Turn up the music he was singing and dance, but his dancing wasn’t on the same level as his award shows. I still think at 23 he is the top male performer and Usher is second. Usher vocals in some of his last performances wasn’t all that and we know he gets out of breath and his dancing skills isn’t on the level of CB.
His 2011 BET (She Aint You/Paper Scissor Roack <–MY DAMN JAM 🙂 ) & AMA (All Back/OML) performances gave that! I would love for him to always start off singing then break down a dance step!
Bwahahaha 3rd best entertainer but he uses an auto tuned Michelle?!?! Usher is 100 times better than him. Tgj y’all wild.
his mic has a built-in autotuner ?!! it was so obvious in “Yeah3x” !!
WTF 😯 ?!!!!!! this is too much man !! it can NOT get any worse than this !!!
and you shade rihanna’s performances and stanning for him while doing this ?!
so you stand up for art @sam while supporting this ?
the f*****’ double standards 🙄
but he kept me entertained still , so i will give him that he did his job !!
and please , when “BEYONCE” or “gaga” perform , they give you VOCALS while performing , he doesn’t ! so he is not on their lane of performing skills in the first place since he lip-sync and do not and can not sing good as them. he deal with the mic as an accessory , they deal it as a main thing and SING LIVE using it, something chris brown is known for NOT doing it , so enough with gassing him up when it comes to being a performer.
I hate to s*** on yall parade. But that s*** was TUR-able. Is he sick or something. No Shade, but we have all seen Chris KILL a stage. This is not example. It must be all dem drugs he is on. 🙁
No Shade. Just real tea!
Drugs? Have you seen him using drugs like we seen Rihanna doing? That stage was smaller that last year. Even when Usher did his show the stage was small. Usher couldn’t get into his moves so have a seat
F** please; everyone knows Chris Brown is a meth addict. So shut the f*** up. is he going to admit it? HELL THE F*** NAWL but its been heavily documented. Explains the crazy weight loss. Get yo mouf off his d*** and have a seat . The performance was trash.
and more power to his MALE dancers for that YEAH3x breakdown 😀 !! and i really like “WMU” the most !!
Beyonce’s most boring performance (if there even is such a thing) >>>> Wish Brown’s whole set list.
I gave you a thumbs down by accident but yes I agree!!!!!!!!!!!
ive undone that lol
I was supporting him but when some of his stans had the NERVE to tell me he’s more talented than Beyonce & a better performer, I was completely turned off. Yes he is talented but Beyonce is in another lane, the lane where she is easily seen as the greatest performer of our generation.
Ugh I hate saying this but Chris let me down, please focus on vocals more. Yes he is a good dancer but what’s the point of doing intense choreography if you can’t hold a note? I want singing & dancing without the auto tune.
Your avatar look nice. Beyonce snap back fast. I wonder how she did it? She really let me down
http://www.moonbump.com/
Umm what is the point of that? It’s completely irrelevant to the topic.
RIHANNA COULD NEVER!!! CHRIS WORST PERFORMANCE IS BETTER THAN RIHTARDS BEST!! SHE IS A TALENTLESS C*** & THAT GOES WITHOUT SAYING! STOP BRINGING UP THE PAST, YES HE HIT R****** BUT SHE DESERVED IT FOR BEING A F****** S*** & HITTING HIM FIRST. SHE SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH CHRIS & MAYBE HE COULD HAVE TEACHED HER WHAT SINGING & DANCING REALLY IS. I WOULD RATHER LET CHRIS HIT BE THAN BE LOOKED AT AS A S*** IN THE PUBLIC EYE!! R****** IS A W**** & SHE RUINED CHRIS BY BEING JUST THAT. HER TIME IS UP CAUSE CHRIS IS HERE TO SHOW THAT S*** WHAT TALENT REALLY LOOKS LIKE. F*** THE NAVY YOU WOULDN’T KNOW TALENT IF CHRIS HIT YOU IN THE FACE WITH IT (NOT THAT ANY OF YOU H*** ARE WORTHY OF IT!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All this doesn’t change the fact that Chris performed with an auto tuned mic. #staypressed
This s*** right here is foul. I guess it was ment for Beyonce. LMFAO ROFL
http://www.moonbump.com/
Your mother should have swallowed you when she was sucking your dads c***.
‘Easily third behind Beyonce and Lady GaGa when it comes to this generation’s strongest entertainers’….. uhhh? excuse the heck out of me, did usher die? is bruno mars no longer alive?
Chris brown is not in that league of ENTERTAINERS. he is merely a dancer, just like ciara.
This is what Usher was doing when he was 23 years old
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3Mqk3f2Fo0
And y’all have the nerve to this Chris Brown is among the best entertainers. GTFOH!
Breezy is so skinny now. I love him but I need him to eat before he crosses into Wiz Khalifah territory lol
I LOVE CHRIS BROWN BUT WHAT WAS THAT LIKE FOR REAL HE CANT SING IT WAS HORRIBLE AUTOTUNE WEAK VOICE ITS A NO NON NO WHEN IT COMES TO DANCE HE CAN DANCE HIS AS OFF BUT FOR THE SINGING PART ITS REAL FAIL AND WHY IS HE SO SKINNY DOES HE TAKE DRUG??? like for real anyway there’s a lot of work to equal usher or beyoncé he must work his voice that’s horrible
He had 4 slots, and he couldn’t even do 1 ballad?
DRUGS. He’s on it.
I’ll just go back to his old performances, when he was 16, and truly killing the stage.
It doesn’t matter how many different avatars or alias names you use… 25,000+ New Yorkers enjoy one of the greatest Today shows performance ever!!! Easily breaking his old record. Some people are so angry because he continues to book shows. He is the “Comeback” kid and there is no denying his talents. Sit back and enjoy because the young man is on a roll…. A Legend in the making while you are still typing behind a computer spewing hatered. Great Job! CB. #CBFortuneJuly3
a LEGEND in the making???????????????????????????????
girl bye, exactly how will he be a legend, his sales are average, his singles don’t go #1. he is constantly bashed for lip singing, and sloppy dancing. he hasn’t even sold 10 million albums world wide!!! before the 2009 incident he wasn’t even selling that well the most he did was 3 million. so a legend he will not be, and its not hate its just the truth. the only legends will be the female artist, and bruno mars. bruno is the only one holding it down for the solo male artist. because he has REAL talent. chris will be remembered for beating rihanna. that is all.
Well,…well, well… somebody has sent my slight rants to Chris Brown’s team. His live shows are making steps in the right direction. In spite the use of autotune…he worked the crowd, had an added twist to his musical set and gave himself a breakdown to highlight his dancing skills without subtracting too much from the other elements. Almost there Chris bruh…almost. TGJ I can’t believe you guys have fell victim to using the word EPIC out of its context. Glad to see Chris taking criticism and growing but it’s not EPIC yet fam. Good, yeah…but def not EPIC. Stop it today..lol Good job C Breeze…
Yes indeed… An Epic Performance!!! Congratz! Again. Looking Forward to Fortune July 3, 2012.
ummm
exactly what was epic??? he did the first performance without lip singing or autotune, but every other performance he didn’t!!!!!!!!!!
so him singling live once, which he was also very weak vocally, doesn’t make him an all around performer, his dancing was sloppy it was more of a free style dance and not choreography. and the auto tune was over kill, since when was forever done with all auto tune? this boy is a joke, and people said he is the best male out right now? umm girl bye, name another male that lip sings!!!
bruno mars is the top male now, then its usher. chris is below all of them, hell bieber sings live and he is horrible!!! chris needs to use his vocals stop with the messy dancing and give people something other than this generic dance crap, because its not even helping him sell albums its just ridicuous.
