2nd CHANCES: 2010 BET AWARDS
THIS YEARS BET AWARDS WAS FULL OF COMEBACKS/2ND CHANCES. KANYE WEST OPENED THE SHOW AFTER A HIATUS CAUSED BY THE BACKLASH OF HIM DISSING TAYLOR SWIFT. T.I ALSO PERFORMED AFTER HIS ONE YEAR STINT IN JAIL. BUT MYSELF ALONG WITH OTHERS WAS MOST IMPRESSED WITH THE PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE OF CHRIS BROWN. THE SINGER WAS FINALLY GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE LATE MICHAEL JACKSON AFTER BEING DENIED THE OPPORTUNITY LAST YEAR DUE TO THE PREVIOUS INCIDENT WITH RIHANNA.
CHRIS DIDN'T MISS A BEAT AS HE DANCED TO A MIX OF MJ HITS. THE REAL AW MOMENT CAME WHEN HE GOT EMOTIONAL AND BROKE DOWN WHILE SINGING MAN IN THE MIRROR. ANYONE WHO IS A MJ FAN KNOWS THAT SONG IS VERY TOUCHING AND IT ODDLY FITS WHAT'S OCCURRING IS CHRIS'S LIFE. I'M PRETTY SURE THAT CHRIS WASN'T THE ONLY ONE SHEDDING A TEAR IN THAT THEATRE AFTER THAT PERFORMANCE. I'M HOPING THIS REMINDS THE SOMETIMES OVERLY CRUEL MEDIA AND NAY SAYERS WHAT CHRIS SHOULD BE KNOWN FOR, AN INCREDIBLE PERFORMER. NO ONE WILL EVER FILL MICHAEL'S SHOES, BUT I'LL BE THE FIRST TO SAY THAT CHRIS HAS THE TALENT TO COME PRETTY DAMN CLOSE.

I agree. Chris' performance was so touching. I almost shed a tear. Hopefully people will give him a second chance and not hold the incident with Rihanna against him. I think he deserves it
