Before I get into this video, let me say that I actually enjoyed the BET awards this year. It’s a rarity that I say that about ANYTHING BET related but I was actually impressed. The f-ckery was kept to a minimum, Nicki Minaj proved her ability to mouth a song really well, and Prince gave Trey Songz the side-eye of LIFE! Honey, it was definitely a little something for the books.

That being said, I’m really happy that Chris Brown finally got a chance to perform and show tribute to Michael Jackson. Of course you know that he beasted the dance moves but the most touching part of it all was when he broke down and cried during his performance of Man in the Mirror. Before any of you say ANYTHING, let me say this…NO, I don’t support domestic violence. But I also don’t support the public stoning someone over and over again for a mistake that they made and (obviously) feel bad about. I think that the tears we saw tonight from Chris were a combination of happiness for being able to show tribute to his idol and sadness because of all the rejection he’s faced over the past year or so. Not asking anybody to agree. Just saying…

Check out the vid after the break and post your thoughts!
