Judge Chris Brown the ARTIST...Not the Man

First of all, let me say that EVERYONE makes mistakes and that they should be forgiven if they take responsibility for their actions. After a while, it just gets old to bring up someone's past, especially if they are trying to move on and better themselves. They should be accountable for what they do but it is NO one's business what goes on in their personal life, even though they are a celebrity.

Today was supposed to be all about Chris Brown's new album F.A.M.E. which is in stores now. It seemed like everything was back on track for the embattled star, but when he left his appearance this morning on Good Morning America, he was met with another controversy.

After Robin Roberts brought up recent developments from the 2009 incident with Rihanna, Brown tried to change the subject and promote his new album. However, Roberts kept finding new ways to bring it up again. Brown was clearly aggravated and after his performance of hit song "Yeah 3xs", he "allegedly" broke a window when became upset in his dressing room.

If you do want to judge Chris Brown, do it based on his music and not him personally. You never fully know how people feel or what they have been through/going through. He has done everything that he was supposed to, including community service and anger management. It is clear that he may still be struggling with his issues, but if you are going to be critical of him in any way, go by his album and talk about that.

I have always been a fan of Chris Brown as an artist, ever since his self-titled debut album in 2005. I do not know his personally so I will not discuss his personal problems that he may have. What he did was wrong but I believe that he took responsibility for it and is just trying to MOVE ON with his life, and we should too.



As a journalist, I understand that Robin Roberts brought up the incident because it is something that she thought people wanted to hear him talk about. However, I do feel like she kept going back to it after he tried to focus on promoting his new album, which is why he was on the show in the first place. I hope that Chris Brown gets everything together in his personal life and  my fellow fans will continue to support his music. I truly believe that he is talented and does it for them and everyone should go get F.A.M.E.!!!!!!!!!
