CHRIS BROWN

i'd give that 50% odds of never being released, 30% of all proceeds going to charity and a 20% likelihood of this is why god invented illegal filesharing

I don't wish Rihanna any kind of backlash or consequence regardless of what decisions she should or shouldn't make right now, but I have to admit it would be kind of awesome of they tried to turn this into a cynical publicity stunt/comeback duet and the public reacted with total disgust and it was a flop.

although the fact that their version of "Bad Girl" wasn't even officially released and still managed to chart in the direct aftermath of the incident is a pretty strong indication that that won't happen :(

i hope it's a club banger.

This is all one big stunt before they release their duet cover version of "He hit me (and it felt like a kiss)"

"WTF?" duet with Rhianna about "how hard love is" on the followup album that all the kids love and all the critics rush to write articles about.
presto.

WHATS THE BIG DEAL?

this revelatory bit of news is even more evidence that rihanna is in need of H3LP

we should all murder the shit out of chris brown whatd u guys say

they'd make a (u73 couple

Was this the survey talked about upthread?

That was on the news here; I must admit my initial reaction to the outcry over it was "lol did you people forget that you live in Boston???? lol neanderthals"

I think most of the frustration towards Rihanna (at least in this thread; I can't speak for the millions of kids who think she deserved it) is geared towards the fact, by going back to Brown, she's reaped much of the reputation-damage and career-damage that rightfully belongs to Chris...I can't say for sure what shape Chris's career is going to take (though I can see five years down the line, him becoming a niche act, prolley toughening up hi simage, perhaps even reinventing himself as a rapper), but by going back to him, Ri's career has been damaged too...and that's tragic...

I don't see how anybody really can blame her...the aforementioned comment about how an abusive relationship ravages one's sense of self is about as otm as it gets...but (this has been said beore too) she should have sort of support network of her family, friends, record company, who should be protecting her right now from herself, keeping her away from that man unitl she has the strength to do it herself...she should be in intensive therapy right now; she should definitely not be in the arms of her assailant...

This is why I suggested at first that the record company was behind it...I don't know if the both of them record for the same record company, or if there is a lot of synergy between them or whatever...all I know is that the complete and utter failure of Ri's record company to act in their artist's best interest by allowing this to descend into a TV-tabloid spectacle, allowing her to do all sorts of damage to her viability as someone who can make millions of dollars for them, is so astonishing that one begins to suspect that maybe this whole kiss-and-make-up thing was an extreemely ill-advised plan concocted by them in order to salvage something from the whole Chris Brown enterprise...you know what I mean?

this is outside the courthouse

Jesus. Someone should just smack the hell out of those two.. wait.

Too soon?

I was reading comments on Essence that were posted after interviews with Salt and Pepa re: this whole thing and it's really disgusting the number of "it was totally her fault because she hit him first" messages there were.

Every time I click on this thread I read the first post as saying "Great cock too."

wait for real?

haha oh i guess that was booked and cancelled a long time ago nm

unless polow da don is now a booking agent

hahahah

it's the way it's not even that implausible

i still can't listen to his voice btw. i assume this won't last, but...not yet

how is that even 'best of both worlds' of anything...Virginia and Barbados?

one is a boy and one is a girl?

i don't get it, which is which

check the tattoos

would check rihanna's tattoos

guiltily listen to throwed from time to time still.

so do you avoid music by all suspected/convicted abusers or just chris brown?

it's a lot easier to say goodbye when the abuser is as dead ass boring as chris brown

the weird thing is i strongly disliked the kid a couple years ago but now he has a handful of songs i genuinely like, and even though i think he's totally despicable as a person, i will still jam "No Air" and "Yo" and "Freeze" and not think about all that stuff.

i know i've seen his videos a ton of times, i can't even recall one song or melody or hook except for that david banner song

it's a lot easier to say goodbye when the abuser is as dead ass boring as chris brown

lol he has a song called "say goodbye"

i still rock all my chris brown jams, of which there are many

i'm not deliberately avoiding listening to cb out of principle, i'm fully aware that i'll go back to them at some point, but just...not yet

it's a lot easier to say goodbye when the abuser is as dead ass boring as chris brown

lol this is so, so, so true

Fortunately I never actually owned anything by him and never planned to get anything by him because he's corny, so it's kind of a non-issue for me.

given how much Dom was into CB's music I really wish he was still here to share his opinion right now. RIP.

I keep trying to find the greater appeal in Ne Yo, seeing as it seems I'm gonna have to settle for that cat until CB gets a media exoneration and can release goofy ass pop without people gasping, but NY is just so fucking straight-faced and full of gravitas.
There's nothing posi about smacking up your girl, pop star or not, but Brown was always mugging to the camera and really sounded like he was enjoying his moment. Ne Yo sounds like he has a dinner date at 8 and needs to hit the gym first, so let's get this bar over with.
If y'all have some joyful Ne Yo songs (or another suitably goofy contemp R&B kid for me instead), please point em out.

idk forks, i could see what you're saying wrt ne-yo on some of his album tracks but "closer" and "miss independent" are two of the best clubby r&n trax in a long while imo

I think you want The Dream, maybe?

have you ever heard Ne-Yo's first single, "Stay"? always thought that was a good uptempo jam, but yeah i kinda know what you mean, joyful is not really an adjective that comes up a lot with his stuff, but then that's not what i listen to him for.

I find "Closer" to be incredibly joyful.

i love hearing it but i dunno, what i like about it is that it's a little brooding

eh, The Dream is boring in a lack of sui generis qualities way that makes most quiet storm shit seem scintillating.
I'll go back and relisten to those tracks; I got the album... just not clicking.
What DO you listen to Ne Yo for?
