I like Chris Brown. I have from the beginning. I like his style. I am not a fan of any type of Rapp, but when Chris Brown seriously sings, I like him. I love his hit with Jordan Sparks, "No Air". I do not like Rihanna's music. I really don't think she has a great voice.
Now that I've claimed my opinion, I want to say something about the latest "fight" and Chris Brown's arrest. Why is it always the man? What provoked him to hit her? I don't think anyone, man or woman, deserve to be hit, but I surely think a lot of these young girls ask for it. Sometimes it is the only way to shut them up. Maybe they should think about that when mouthing off.
Chris Brown grew up in a home where from the age of 7 to 13 he witnessed domestic violence between his mother and father. Has anyone considered that maybe the guy needs help -- maybe some counseling -- maybe he's a victim, too.
Rihanna grew up in a fairly affluent home in Barbados. Once she was "discovered", she and her mother travelled back and forth between her home and the United States to pursue her career. As soon as she turned 16, she left Barbados to come to the USA and live with her producer and his wife. She also trained as an Army Cadet in the military in Barbados. Makes you wonder about the hitting incident, doesn't it. Is "poor little Rihanna" the only victim?
I'm sure this thing goes on every day in the towns and cities of America. I'm sure boys hit girls, girls hit boys, men hit women, etc. It isn't right and I am not condoning violence. I'm just saying that it isn't an issue for public display and I think this whole mess was blown way out of proportion just to advance Rihanna's career -- which hasn't come close to Chris Brown's fame.
Oh yeah, right after this "look at me, I got hit" incident, Rihanna and Chris spent a week "making up" at a Florida mansion owned by one famous rock star/actor. He refused to speak about it on the "Ellen" show. Probably because the fight wasn't that big of a deal to begin with.
Come on people, don't get so hung up in this crap. They are just people ... like anyone else standing out on the street corner fighting.
LAPD, give the damn jewels back and drop this stupid incident. Rihanna already got what she wanted.
Afterall, anyone named Christopher should be OK. Right???
I completely agree with you on this one. And to top things off, I don't know how true it is, as I heard it on the radio Thursday morning, but the station I listen to said that Chris and Rihanna are in the process of looking to buy a home together!!

Yeah, me too, Rox. I think it was a publicity stunt all along and Chis got the worst of it.
ReplyDeleteHmm... I would ask you to read one of the detective's warrants associated with this case and reconsider: http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/03/05/brown.warrant.pdf
ReplyDeleteI think they could both use some help... Chris for being a batterer, and Rihanna for going back to him after her more or less tried to kill her.
I still am not convinced. I ponder the saying, "Don't believe anything you read, and only half of what you see", and for good reason.
ReplyDeleteWe know there are at least two sides to every story, and in actuality...three. His side, her side...(which is those PDF docs), and the truth.
Don't get me wrong...they both need help!
