Most of us are familiar with the whole chris brown, Rihanna incident that happened about a year ago. If not i'll explain.. Basically Chris Brown was accused of beating his girlfriend at the time Rihanna the day of the Grammy's in a residential area. No one knows for sure what the issue was about that started this whole fight but many fingers where pointing to Rihanna reading a text message in Browns phone from another woman. The 20 year old singer-dancer who pleaded guilty to felony assault, is now on probation for five years. The big issue though is his music career is not looking so good.On wednesday Brown recently sent out a audio message on Say Now asking his fans to please help "bring him back". Some radio stations aren't playing his records and he says he really needs his fans help. Brown said " They're(radio stations) not being supportive and I wouldn't expect them to. But it's on the fans... It's in your power to bring me back". Brown refers to himself as a "better person" now and can you blame him? He says he is doing his music for the love, but his career is in jeopardy. Compared to his last two albums who were pretty successful his newest album Graffiti didn't do so good on the charts. Personally I love his voice and I think he is an amazing artists and i don't think it was right of what he did to her but i don't think his whole career should be over because of that incident. Nowadays in the music industry it's really rare to come across pure good talent. we have people like Soulja Boy and Lady Gaga who make me personally question what has the music industry world come to? people seriously can make a song about anything and its a number one hit..come on people get it together this is to sad. But back to the Brown issue i just think he needs to give it some time and let people cool down about the issue and maybe he'll be able to be number one on the charts again but for right he cant think that people have already for gotten about the situation. so with time, patience, and hard work he'll be back to selling out concerts and recording number one hits. If we look back to the whole Michael Jackson issue he did some many screw ups and people where always on his case but could you say he really didn't make a come back? Is this how its going to be in the Music Industry world one mistake or screwup and your whole career is over...what do you guys think?
Actually, there is absolutely no excuse for his actions. He is responsible for his own actions, and the fact he only got 5 years of probation for what he did to Rhianna is disgusting. He should feel lucky that he isn't in jail. In the end there are plenty of people just as, if not more, talented than him that don't beat up their girlfriends. Give them the sales. There is no excuse for his actions.
ReplyDeleteChris Brown has taken to his fans through many attempts this year to help him with album sales and playing his songs on the radio. When Grafitti was first released, he told fans that major record distributors like Walmart and Best Buy werent even stocking it on the shelves, or if they were, it was hidden in the back.
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly no coincidence that Rihanna's Rated R debuted at #4 on Billboard charts versus Chris Brown's Graffiti at #7 when his previous album, Exclusive, peaked at #4. You're right, people havent forgotten.
But is it really up to the music industry to try to generate as much good publicity for the singer who probably cost them millions in legal fees and bad press? Or, maybe the music industry shouldnt be as involved with Chris' social life or take actions to ensure that the star eventually gets back on top.
And if you think about it, if he were truly doing it just to make good music, would he necessarily have to get paid? There are lots of talented people out there who make music just because they want to and it doesnt leave past their computers, piano, or guitar.
