Chris Brown has returned to the stage. The singer headlined Power 105.1’s Powerhouse ’09 performance at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Tuesday night.

Chris took the stage in a sparkling red and black outfit reminiscent of his idol Michael Jackson’s Thriller-era…How dare he drag the Great MJ into this!

In his first major performance since pleading guilty to once count of felony assault against his ex-girlfriend Rihanna in June, Chris followed openers The-Dream, Fabolous, Day26, Trey Songz, Keri Hilson and Mario with a set including his new single, “I Can Transform Ya,” as well as “Wall To Wall,” “Gimme That” and “With You” before closing with “Forever.”
