Chris Brown Performs Tribute For MJ
Chris Brown performed a tribute to Michael Jackson during the last show of his “Fan Appreciation” tour at the NOKIA Theatre in NYC on Tuesday (Dec. 15).
I read on some random blog that Chris mentioned he thought the BET's tribute to Michael was wack. I totally agree certain people should have been invited or made sure they went to give Michael a good show. Let's cross our fingers the Grammy's doesnt let us down.

Pbleepd.com's Top 20 Dancers
Top 20 Dancers [taken straight from pbleepd.com]
“The truest expression of a people is in its dance and in its music. Bodies never lie”. ~Agnes de Mille
What started as a top 10 list proved very difficult to maintain with an endless number of great dancers gracing the world with contemporary, creative and original dance and choreography.
Dance comes in a variety of forms from latin to hip-hop to ballet to tap; all unique in pattern but equal in difficulty and entertainment.
Here’s my top 20 dancers who have exceptionally entertained us with the art of dance.
20. Jennifer Lopez
Though the Latin diva is not famed for her dancing, not many people know that the Jennifer Lopez began her career as a dancer before going into acting.
19. Tina Turner
Tina Turner always got on the stage wearing big weave, a dress and heels and put so much energy into her dance moves. Her energetic dance style has gone on to inspire many artists, her influence is most evident in artists such as Beyonce.
18. Mya
With formal training in ballet and tap dancing, and street dance, Mya is an all round dancer. Plus her 2009 appearance on Dancing with the Stars further proves that she’s a versatile dancer.
17. Aaliyah
The smoothest dancer we know? Belly tops, baggy pants matched with slick dance moves was the signature style of Aaliyah that the world fell in love with.
16. Justin Timberlake
We always knew JT could dance during his N’SYNC days but he really stood out as a dancer when he broke out as a solo artist.
15. Ginuwine
During his hey dayz, Ginuwine had the looks, the voice and the moves to go with it. Has he still got it? I’ll let you decide, but let’s not forget the swag he brought to Timbaland beats such as Pony and So Anxious…
14. Beyonce
Even though she swagga-jacks probably 80% of her dance moves (only just found out she also copied the Naughty Girl dance sequence with Usher), it doesn’t take away the fact that she is a great mover and considerably one of the best performers of our time. The Single Ladies video was probably the best choreographed video I had seen in a looooong while.
13. Shakira
The belly dancing diva is one of my favourite dancers out there because her dance style doesn’t rely heavily on choreography. From her music videos and live performances, it’s pretty clear that no one can shake their hips like Shakira can!
12. Omarion
The self-proclaimed ‘King of Dance’…not sure if I agree with him being the King, but he is a very talented dancer for sure.
11. Ciara
When Ciara first stepped onto the scene, it was clear that she wasn’t the greatest of singers but her tomboy image and ATL dance style was enough to keep us intrigued with the star. What I loved most about her dance style when she first started off was that she danced like a boy (no pun intended). Though her dancing has evolved to a sexier style, she is still proving why she is right behind Janet in the female dance category.
10. Chris Brown
Let’s look past the domestic violence drama that took place at the tip of 2009 and just remember why we first fell in love with Chris Brown. He is definitely one of the best male dancers out there at the moment.
9. Usher
Musically, Usher hasn’t been able to recapture the magic we saw during the 8701 or Confessions era; however, Usher undoubtedly has the moves and knows how to put on a great performance.
8. MC Hammer
He was one hell of a dance machine! Minus the crazy fashion sense, this dude had moves!
7. Bobby Brown
Before there was Usher, Omarion & Chris Brown…there was Bobby Brown. He was a baaad dancer- I used to love this guy sooo much! He could have rose to be a bigger star than he was, he had the voice & the dance moves…not quite sure if he had the looks but girls still went crazy for him. Let’s reminisce back to the Bobby Brown we all used to love…
6. Janet Jackson
Her 2009 performances may have been weak in comparison to her performances back in the day, but hey what can you exhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifpect? after all she isn’t getting any younger. So even though she doesn’t dance with the same energy that she used to, there is still no denying that Janet is probably the best female dancer ever.
5. Gene Kelly
The talented dancer, actor, singer, choreographer, film director and producer, is probably best known for his performance in ‘Singing in the Rain’. His creative, show-stopping dance sequences such as his ‘alter ego’ dance performance and tap dancing on skates, made it clear that this man was a dance genius.
4. Fred Astaire
The Broadway stage dancer, choreographer, actor and singer was described by Michael Jackson as ‘the best’. There’s no doubt that Fred Astaire is a great dancer who became an important influence in filmed dance.
3. Nicholas Brothers
Neither Fayard nor Harold Nicholas had any formal dance training but that didn’t stop them from becoming two of the greatest tap dancers the world has seen.
2. Michael Jackson
What can I say that hasn’t already been said about this man? The number of people he has inspired is innumerable. Michael Jackson is a legend and his name will live on forever.
1. James Brown
I had to put the man who inspired MJ to dance number 1. Unlike the hardcore choreography that were used to seeing in music videos & performances today, James Brown just danced from the soul.

Line-up For MJ Tribute In Vienna Announced
13 music artists will pay tribute to the late King of Pop in Austria this month. Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown, Akon, Natalie Cole, and Sister Sledge are just to name a few performers to his the stage on September 26, in Vienna. Katherine Jackson and Michael's children will travel to the event.
Half the tickets were already sold ranging in price of $91 and $745!
UPDATE: "Chris is not confirmed to perform or participate in any capacity for this show," the publicist for Brown's label tells E! News.
Thats sucks Breezy can't go, since he needs to redeem himself and gains LOTS of fans back. He most likely can't participate because he would have to put his 180 hours of community service on hold and get the courts permission to travel over seas.
UPDATE 2: According to the Associated Press: The MJ tribute has been moved to London, organizers announced Friday, saying they needed more time to put together a show fit for the King of Pop.

Chris Brown tapped his interview with Larry King earlier this week in LA. This was his first interview since his arrest in February. Breezy's attorney Mark Geragos was present along with his mother Joyce. Chris was sentenced to five years probation and is ordered to have no contact with Rihanna. Be sure to watch Chris' interview on Larry King Live at 9pm ET on Wed, September 2nd on CNN.
Will you watch Chris Brown's interview? I definitely do not agree with the way he hurt Rihanna, but I want to see what he has to say.

Lil Wayne Calls Chris Brown The New King of Pop
It was a treat for the fans at the recent Lil Wayne concert in Virginia Beach on Sunday. The rapper brought out Chris Brown to sing "Every Girl" and show off his dance moves and imitations of Michael Jackson to "Billie Jean".
Weezy called the 20 year old star the new King of Pop, “Ya’ll make some noise for the new Michael [Jackson].”
Do you agree with Lil Wayne? I most certainly do not.

Chrisette Michele Not Pleased With Chris Brown's Apology
Chrisette Michele was not to pleased when she saw Chris Brown's public apology to the public after assaulting Rihanna.
The singer told Rap-Up.com, “My question is, when someone hurts somebody that they love, do you go on television and say I’m sorry to the public? Or do you call up the person you love and say I’m sorry?”
Chris has been getting scrutinized for assaulting his then girlfriend and now more bashing because of his public video apology.
Chrisette also said, “I’m positive that he spoke to Rihanna. Is it our responsibility to decide whether or not him and Rihanna have something between them?” she asked. “It’s not for us to decide whether or not he meant his apology. It’s for her to decide. And that’s what I’m dealing with. Why is there an apology airing on “106 & Park” at 5:30 p.m. 6,000 months later?”
Do you agree with Chrisette? The apology to the public came late, but don't we expect him to do say something publicly? Was it necessary to apologize to me (a fan) when I had nothing to do with your mess?

Chris Brown Apoligizes For Beating Rihanna
Chris Brown recorded a video apologizing for assaulting Rihanna. The 20 year old singer said, “I wish I had a chance to live those few moments again, but unfortunately I can’t,” a remorseful Brown said. “I’m not going to sit here and make any excuses.”
“What I did was unacceptable, 100%. I can only ask and pray that you forgive me, please. I intend to live my life so that I’m truly worthy of the term role model.”
I believe Chris really is sorry and isn't a monster. What do you think of his apology?
