Bad things happen when you beat up on girls…..

Chris Brown, once known for his “young Michael Jackson” comparisons, has been denied from participating in a tonight’s tribute to the late King of Pop at tonight’s BET Awards in Los Angeles, EgyptSaidSo is reporting.

Word is BET producers fear having Brown participate in the tribute to Jackson would upset fans of the network, who are still on edge after the crooner’s assault on singer Rihanna earlier this year.

Earlier this week, Brown — who performed Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” during the 2006 World Music Awards in London — hailed the star as the reason why he wanted to become an entertainer.

    I believe that is garbage. Sad that Micheal Jackson died…..yes. Bad decision on BETs behave. So let it go…………………………………….
    There were various artist that were included in the BET Awards last night who have had legal issues but was it held against them….NO. Diddy has various children from different women, Queen Latifah was caught with marijuana, Lil Wayne is up on charges and various others who we have read about. They were all on stage and none of those legal woes took away from “Michael’s night”.
    Chris Brown is a FABULOUS entertainer. One who I will always contribute to……concerts, CDs etc.
    Being labeled as “Bad things happen when you beat up on girls” is far fetched. It has been said that Rhianna’s camp did not want her to testify because it would have put Rhianna in a bad light. If you look at the whole picture….she is already in a bad light because she struck first. I am a woman and I would never hit a man. I know that I can not take him down. I have never provoked anyone to ever hit me and I have never been hit. If you can not take a hit then you should not give one. Keep your hands to yourself. Did we not learn that in kindergarten???????? Rhianna is foul……………………….. Chris keep your head up Baby. You will get a chance to do your thing again:)

    I totally disagree with BET’s decision not to have Chris Brown perform. He would have set the stage off right w/ his tribute to Michael Jackson. Yes, he caught a case, but he is has been tried and sentenced once….in court, so who are we to keep holding it over his head. His one bad decision involving his personal life does not take away from the fact that he is an extremely talented young man who has a long and prosperous career ahead of him. So enough is enough! Leave him alone and Stop trying to hold him back from doing just that!

    Ok So Everyone Can Forget About When Hova Pushed The Lady In Her Face But You Cant Forgot When Chris Brown Hit Rihanna. Everyone Who Said That Is Like A Hypocrite. Jay Z Is A Hypocrite. Don Cornelius and Bobby Brown Have The Sane Charge But Were Allowed Get On Stage Because BET Could Overlook That!? Michael Jackson Died. That Was The Whole Point Of The Tribute. Chris Brown Would Have Really Made The BET Awards Show So Much Better. Death Of Autotune Sucked. Im Not Saying Forget But Yall Need To Forgive. No Ones Perfect And You Cant Sit Here And Say You Are. We All Make Mistakes Yall Need To Forgive Chris Let ByGons Be Bygons And Move The Hell On. Jay Z Need To Grow The Hell Up And Before He Points Fingers Make Sure His HAnds Are Clean. Everyone Is Being so Hard On Chris. Give Him A Break EveryBody Messes Up. everyone Deserves A Second Chance. Stop Thinking Rihanna Is So Innocent, Cause She Isnt. If i Were Chris Brown’s Sister i Would Have Whooped Her Butt Myself.. Im Not Even A Fan Of Chris But Jay-Z Went Too Far With That. That Was “Mad Childish” Of Him.

    MJ was a huge inspiration for Chris! I think they should’ve let him be there and perform. He made a mistake, he said sorry.
