Given the the significance of The 2009 BET Awards, many wondered about the absence of Chris Brown. After all, he emulated Michael's moves, his fashion, and his sound.
There are reports from various online sites such as anchorsnews.com, that Chris' performance did not sit well with Al Sharpton, nor Jay-Z. Jay-z purportedly threatened that neither he nor Beyonce would perform, if Chris performed. Talk about the alpha male! If true,we now know who wears the pants in this relationship.
Man talk about kicking someone when they are down. So what if Chris was convicted of assault. He has since admitted his guilt and are now facing the consequences. We are all humans, superstar status or not--and it is our nature to make mistakes. While I love Jay-Z to death, he too, has made bad choices in the past. He's a self proclaimed former drug dealer... and even he has turned his life around.
If there was anything that Chris Brown's presence would have taught us is a lesson in forgiveness, redemption and togetherness, a recurring theme in Michael's music.
