They build you up to tar you down. It's happened to Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan, Bill Cosby, Whitney Houston, Oprah Winfrey, Janet Jackson, Eddie Murphy and now it's Chris Brown. Less than six months ago, he had America eating out of his hands. One bad moment and a poor judgment call, and all of sudden Chris Brown is the anti-Christ. This is a time for Chris to sit down and reconsider this industry, and his position. To find out who your 'real' family and friends are. Real folks who are in your corner, will stand beside you right, and call you out, when you are wrong. You can correct the wrongs, and learn from your mistakes. Public figures, are held to different requirements, oddly enough, I think it's a double edge sword. You want fame, well fame comes at a hefty price...the fallout, the aftermath, the hotel lobby, the after party...it's all a smoke screen!! When the lights go down, who really loves you? Who really cares? Questions...yes?
Ultimately this fiasco was a young love affair that probably should not have happened. Two insecure kids, living their life under a microscope and getting caught up in their 'own' hype. This thing called 'fame' will give you your fifteen minutes, but what you do with the rest of your life, is the true testament of your core character. Chris star had all the makings of long term longevity, he has the 'it' factor in him. Gene Kelly, had it, Judy Garland had it, James Brown had it, Elvis had it, and Michael Jackson damn sure had it... and Chris Brown 'STILL' has it.
Take your time heal yourself, forgive yourself, rehabilitate yourself to be stronger, wiser and apologize for your mistakes with a sincere genuine heart, and get back on your grind and reclaim your career!
Nice piece. The fact still remains that domestic abuse is alive and well. He beat her, and needs to ask for forgiveness. Whatever her part, she needs help also.
ReplyDeleteNo one has the right to beat you. I agree Chris Brown needs help, and strong people around him.
Here, here!! I feel the same way.
