chris_brown_prevented_from_performing_by_jayzAccording to one of Chris Brown’s dancers, Jay-Z prevented Chris from taking the stage at tonight’s show.

“BShaw” took to his Twitter to say this about Jay-Z:

Jay-Z is mad childish. Never keep a person from paying there respect.

Beating up someone you care about is even more childish.

What say you, do you think Chris Brown should’ve been able to perform tonight?

Update: It wasn’t Jay-Z, it was Covergirl?

According to Touré, it was:

@DitiSays I cannot be mad at Covergirl for blocking CB. No way they can pay to be on a show he’s part of. Rihanna’s their girl.

    hell yes he should of! NO ONE can entertain like chris – his personal bussines aside, nothing changes the fact he has always made it clear that Micheal Jackins has been a major influence to his music/caree etc! So did i think the bet awards SUKED ASS YUP!!! do i think chris preforming would of saved the nite YUP!!! hopefuly he has a tribute sorted for a more classy event!

    not cool at all!! Chris was the man to bring tonite..and the ugly fool jayz just farrrked up BIGTIME!

    • Vooodu

      LMAO at no one can entertain like Chris.. You must be easily entertained. But eh, whats more entertaining then watching a girl get beat black n blue.

  • Lola

    YES!! he definitely should’ve performed! Everybody knows that Chris LOVES Michael and he should be able to pay his tributes just like everybody else did out there. It’s a damn shame, I was waiting the whole show to see CB perform and it didn’t happen; i was so disappointed! hopefully he will be able to pay tribute at another show or something. Luvya CB!

  • PYTea

    Of course Chris should have performed, you seriously need to separate personal lives from the art. If you really want to prevent people from paying their respects Jay Z shouldn’t even be on stage either he’s abused a woman before too! Damn Hypocrites.

  • sanah

    jayz need help he need to stay out of people way chris would have been the perfect person to perform. mj R.I.P

    • Vooodu

      Jayz is the man. Fuck Chris brown..

      WOMEN BEATIN LIL BITCH!

      • kpeters

        chris brown was the man to save that lame show!!! you are a true hater!!!

  • skc79

    Yes!! That was soo wrong. I am so disappointed cause I was looking forward to it!!

  • vmatt

    I only watched to see Chris Brown and New Edition perform. You can not keep Chris Brown down forever. This awards show would have been awesome if Chris was allowed to give tribute to Michael Jackson. No one could do it better. The BET award show was horrible. Nothing memorable… It was quite embarrassing actually.

  • nsm2545

    Absolutely CHRIS BROWN shoul dhave performed tonight! He would have saved the show! He is the BEST!

    Just like people need to leave MJs personal life alone and focus on HIS TALENT…Same goes for Chris Brown! An extremely talented young man and he should have performed!

    • Vooodu

      Hes the best>? LMAO

  • mrsdesibby

    umm yes he very well should have ! chris browns personal affairs should have had no effect on paying tribute &respect to MJ. ill say it again, this is about MICHAEL JACKSON.NOT about Chris Brown’s court issues. chris brown would have brought it! becuz let me tell u, nobody killed it like CB would have. we ALL know chris brown TRUELY adored MJ.Jay-z is WRONG, &deserves nothing less than a punch in the face.he sure did make sure he got his old ugly a$$ a chance to perform! ughh this is madness.makes me sick !

    • mrsdesibby

      asa matter of fact , NOBODY killed it. BET award sucked assssss.

  • Alexis

    I believe that Chris Brown should have totally performed. I don’t believe that the BET Awards did a well enough tribute to Michael Jackson.
    One of the main reasons that I watched the BET Awards was to watch Chris Brown do a tribute. I thought the tribute portion, the whole BET Awards period, was not at its best. It wasn’t what I expected.
    Chris Brown would’ve spiced up the show. He would’ve pumped up the crowd. They only performed slow, somber-toned songs. No fast-paced, live songs.
    Now I don’t know if the whole Jay Z thing is true, but if it is, I think that that is very churlish. To stand in the way of somebody’s career and them paying respect to someone that they looked up to is not nice AT ALL. You wouldn’t want anyone to do that to you. But I guess you never know how someone feels until you place yourself in there shoes.

  • Minaj

    dat show sux! its da worst award show i ever seen!
    dey should’ve let Chris perform. Jay-z didnt do the show any justice with his ugly ass. dat show was wack as hell. im so mad i waste my time and watch that piece of crap.

    BET=FAIL!

  • dave

    NO way, Chris Brown is a bitch, and corporate sell-out, and bad musician.

    Period.

  • Chyna

    I think he should have performed would it have saved the show NOT AT ALL… But it probably would of been a great and memorable performane. I felt like this was a horrible tribute to MJ I’m sure his family is disappointed and embarrassed by it. I know everything was sudden but it still didnt make any sense for it to be done in such a distasteful manner MJ deserves way better

  • Candice

    Yes he should have been able to perform. Don Cornelius beat his wife and she has two restraining orders on him, but he was there to honor the OJays. They praise TI constantly and he’s in jail for gun possession. Chris Brown was already given his punishment from the judge, so why should he have be kept away from honoring someone he truly looked up to? The Jacksons even requested the he perform because Michael stated that he believed in Chris’ talent. He even picked him to perform at the VMA’s before and wanted to work with him, so he should have been able to perform. Oh well, though. The entire show was pathetic and sucked anyway

    • Candice

      why should he have been* not be

  • Carol

    I applaued BET for not allowing Chris Brown to perform…I do believe that he would have made the night but I also believe that by having him on that stage would of sent the message in saying that it is ok for what he has done. Which I’m sure none of you think is. So HELL NO I don’t think that he should have even got that chance to. Michael Jackson never hit no woman!!!

    • kEN

      I find it interesting that a former crack dealer can’t understand that people make mistakes. (Jay-Z)

      Using your logic, the BET awards would be empty, because all of the former drug dealers wouldnt be able to come because BET would be “making it ok for what they have done”.

      Im not defending C Brown, im just saying. Nobody in this world is perfect, and everybody in this world has done something that they regret.

  • Kata

    I had heard that he was performing and was looking forward to it. Judging solely from his James Brown tribute at the Grammy’s a few years ago I think he would have been a great inclusion. Especially considering the otherwise mediocre state of the awards. All these talented artists out there willing to pay their respects and to think THAT is how it all went down. Definitly didn’t live up to whatever hype it had created in the last few days.

  • cassie

    YES YES YES !!! They should have let Chris Brown perform. First of BET did not tribute MJ to the fullest. Chris Brown adored MJ. I feel like he could have been the only person who would have at least been a little bit close to tributing MJ in the right way.
    Bet have them little girls dance around on stage like a bunch of video girls is sending out a bad message. Chris Brown is getting the punishment he needs to get from the government. We dont need to be always trying to punish him. I agree, what he did was wrong. But he got 5 yrs of probabtion and gotta take counseling…LET HIM PAY TRIBUTE.
    also they had don on there presenting, he smacke and punched his wife..matter of fact abused her…so shouldnt he not be alllowed on there

  • cee

    hell YES!
    i read the reviews, the night was an epic FAIL with most saying CHRIS BROWN shouldve preformed: “the tribute would’ve done a lot more justice to Michael Jackson’s musical legacy”

  • Lady P

    yes he should have performed because chris brown was tried by a jury and got his punishment now let this young man live his life. and who are we to judge we all make mistakes.

    also it was to pay respects to mj it didnt invovle chris browns personal problems it was for mj so to the person who said

    Beating up someone you care about is even more childish.

    What say you, do you think Chris Brown should’ve been able to perform tonight?

    arent u suppose to stay neutral very childish sir

    • roberta

      Nope, I do not have to stay neutral. This is my site and I’m also not a “sir”.

  • http://moodle.com/ joe

    In my opinion i think Jay-Z is like little kid f***kin bg mth he don’t like CB. Jay need to live Cris alone what happen with Cris and Rha is already happen and he can change it he not God.

    • Vooodu

      So if someone beat your sister black n blue, your just supposed to accept it and move on even tho it hasn’t even been a year…

      GET A LIFE BITCH!

  • Dominic

    If Michael Jackson taught us anything it was not to judge someone on their personal life – Jay-Z truly wasnt in the spirit of Michael’s Legacy. If he didnt want to see Chris Brown perform – then leave the room!!

    I have moved on from this and think Chris Brown should beable to move on also.

    maybe Chris and Usher can do something together that doest feel like it was thrown together last minute!!

  • Naty

    Im actually happy he didnt perform, I dont care how bad the show was. I would have rather seen usher, genuwine, or JT dance (CB may be an excellent dancer but there are other ones too). I use to absolutely love CB… I MEAN LOVE< but what he has done has made me loose respect for him, and I think he got of easy, no jail time, just some comm. service, and little girls still love him. He beat the living CRAP out of someone he so called loved, he disrespected a woman, and then hes off recording, hanging out, like nothing. Atleast he should get some type of punishment so good, for him. Im happy atleast someone could keep him off stage… thanks Jay Z… F- cb.

  • OGeezy

    NO! He should not have performed for the reason of timing. It’s really sad how easy we are willing to forgive Chris for PHYSICALLY ABUSING a beautiful young woman when all these kids looked up to him. SAD!!! So, whether HOV did it or not, it should not have happened. Hopefully, Chris will learn a lesson from this…you are not above the law. You can’t smack up your girlfriend in front of the world and then jump on the stage with all the star like nothing happened. I do think it would have been special based on his talents but homey needs a timeout. And, you folks on here need to check your conscience…I’m sure if it was your young sister or female cousin he smacked up then maybe you wouldn’t be so forgiving. ABUSE is WRONG!!!

    • Vooodu

      Amen to that

  • hotstuff

    i am so piss right now because they make me sit for chris performance and he never happen, when they say there is a special final i thought that was chris but they give me drake who is cursing the wasn’t good hope mtv make something better than bet.

  • pat

    He should have censored his wife. She was horrible and disrespectful. Hoochie costume singing a spiritual song will not fly.

  • upset

    Hoefully Chris can get together with some real artist and do an appropriate tribute. Jamie Foxx was ridiculous. BET was embarassing.

    • Vooodu

      Ya him bobby Brown should make a song called .”SMACK YO BITCH DOWN.”

      You dumb ass ho.

  • Jai

    Chris should use this as his ideal spring board back to life. Do a tribute album or televised show with Usher and other MJ inspired artists. Don’t let J shut you down like that! J should stay retired.

  • Percy

    Michael would not want that woman beater paying tribute to him, period. Some of these 14 year old little girls who have been commenting on here so far are quite foolish – especially those who actually think Chris would have (lol) SAVED the night. Yall are stans to the fullest, no doubt.

    But no, BET/Jay-Z/Whoever it was made the right decision by not having him there. Chris Brown has garbage to pick up for the next 180 days, he doesn’t have time to attend any award shows.

    • Vooodu

      LOL, which road is he picking up garbage on. I wanna do some drive by littering.

  • Vooodu

    Chris Brown should be in prison gettin his lil worthless self beat.

    HEY NEWS FLASH PEOPLE! He beat a women silly and left her on the side of the road. He deserves to be in prison.

    Chris Brown is more Bobby Brown then MJ.

    Chris Browns should just “BEAT IT’

  • http://voodoosboss@cocks.net sponger

    voodoo is a bitch and should be beaten by chris brown

    • Vooodu

      Trust me i would luv to see Chris “WOMEN BEATER” Brown try and and go toe to toe with me..

      ID beat his ugly chipmunk face from here to China.

  • BEA

    JAY-Z IS A BITCH
    IS HE SOME SORT OF GOD?
    & BET ARE PUSSIES FOR LISTENING TO HIM
    THE SHOW WAS SHIT, WORST EVER!
    I HOPE THEY ARE ASHAMED!
    RIP MICHAEL

    • BEA

      Wondering..why Chris Brown was not allowed to perform at the BET Awards? I thought it was a “Tribute” not a Trial.

      • Vooodu

        Gee i dunno, caz he beat a sexy, young pop start bacl n blue.

        Helloo, anyone home in your lil brain?

        Fuck Chris Brown up his stupid ass!

    • Vooodu

      Jay-Z is a bith huh?

      And Chris Brown is a man? Fuck Chris Brown!

      Fuck that ugly lil pussy bitch!

  • Tee

    Yes he should have!!!!!! The show was not about JAY Z’s UGLY ass, it was a tribute to Michael and anyone who wanted to pay tribute to him should have been allowed to and I’m pissed that the BET execs didn’t stand up to his punk ass. Don Cornelius was arrested for beating up a woman but he was there. WTF!!!!

    • Vooodu

      Chris brown is nothing more then a bargain bin Micheal Jackson.

      Jay_z is 100 times more made, paid n laid then that lil bitch Chirs Brown.

      What? Chris Brown has a few hits, copies a few dance moves off Jackson and beats a women black n blue and he deserves a crown?

      Fuck Chris Brown up his stupid all the lil stupid bitches who support him.

      • turtle

        Who is Jay-Z to prevent anyone from performing. It was not about Jay-Z it was about MJ. And if BET wanted CB to perform, that should not have let Jay make that decision for them.
        Besides, I could have really done without the self indulgent Beyonce and Joe Camel.

        Over all the BET awards show was pretty bad and CB would have only made it better. The only other performances worth watching was Jamie & Maxwell. Basically the show was a FLOP.

        Voodu – You seem a little bitter. Let it go! Rihanna has.

        • Vooodu

          Bitter? Oh you mean the fact the guy beats a girl black and blue and gets a slap on the wrist just because hes famous? Fuck him and fuck all the people who still support him.

          My lil sisters been beat up by a guy before and that guy not only got jail time, he also got the biggest beating of his life.

          Chris Brown is nothing special at all PERIOD. Hes just some ugly lil chipmunk face kid who made alot of cash off some few easily forgetable songs and some flashy dance moves. WhoooP De Fuckin DoOOO!

          Comparing him to Micheal Jackson is like comparing coal to gold.

          People have warped lil brains. I guess its cool to beat up women if you can sing, dance and have tons of cash. LMAO.. Fuck you all except the ones with a real brain.

          • Kaila

            Fuck You; We Dnt Support The Fuck That He Beat Rihanna. We Support The Fucking Fact That He Is A GREAT SINGER AND DANCER. And Chris PLEAD GUILTY. He’s Taking Responsibility For What He Did. Chris Brown’s Going To Jail, We All Know That. Comparing Your Lil Sister Has Nothing To Do With This. And Oh He’s “just some ugly lil chipmunk face kid who made alot of cash off some few easily forgetable songs and some flashy dance moves” Let’s See What YOU Look Like, Let’s See You Sing And Dance Since You Wanna Talk Like You The Shit. Shut The Fuck Up.

  • Real Talk

    Only ten year old care about whether Chris Brown could perform or not. It’s kinda embarrassing to see this is even a topic.

    Chris Brown is nobody’s michael jackson and never will be. He’d be better served to a tribute to IKE TURNER OR BOBBY BROWN. Really, Chris is the new Bobby Brown, he’ll never be Michael. And we all know that.

    Forget an award show, Chris should be glad he’s not IN JAIL WHERE HE BELONGS AND WILL MOST LIKELY END UP!!

    • Kaila

      Chris Brown Is MY Michael Jackson And He Will Be ALWAYS And FOREVER. Shut The F.ck Up. Cuz You Know DAMN Well If Your Favorite Rapper/Singer Did What Chris Did You Would Still Support Them. People Make Mistakes. Your Just Ignorant Enough To Keep Pointing His Out.

      • Vooodu

        ..WARNING .. CHRIS BROWN GROUPIE

        Groupies don’t care abput anything except who they be trying to groupie too..

        Chris Brown is 2 or 3

        Micheal JAckson is a 10

  • Cynthia

    Everyone knows Chris Brown was highly influenced by Michael. He should have been allowed to perform and pay his respect.

    • Vooodu

      Alot of people are influenced by MJ. Why are all you lil girls are Chris Browns dick…

  • Cindy

    Chris brown should have been at the BEt awards- whethaer Jay-zee or Beyonce had not performed would not of made a difference. Chris is the man the show was lousy anyway without chris.

    • dimedeva

      Jay z or whatever he calls himself didn’t make the show hot and beyonce performance was just wack. Chris brown would have tore that stage up. Especially for michael

    • Vooodu

      Only people who wanted to see Chris Brown perform are lil young girls with no life and no money.

      So you don’t really matter…

  • dimedeva

    Man jayz and covergirl some straight up bitches. Period

    • Vooodu

      Jazy Is DA MAN!

      Beyonce is da SHIT

      And Chris Brown has been put in his place,,,

      CheeAAa Boi!

  • Kaila

    I Am A BIG Chris Brown Fan. Yes He’s Wrong For What He Did To Rihanna. But He’s Still A Great Performer And He Wouldn’t Be Doing All This Without MJ, That Was Truely His Idol And I Think He Shouldn’t Been Allowed To Tribute To MJ. BET Awards Sucked Ass This Year And They Hardly Tributed MJ In Any Way. And The Censors Let All That Cussing Slip, SO Much For A Tribute. Everybody Hating On Chris Needs To Stop. There’s SO Many Other People That Hit Woman But They Dnt Get All This Treatment. SO Many Stars Disrespected Woman. Like Kobe, Didn’t He Rape Somebody Or Something ? Well Look At Him Now ! Everybody’s On His D*ck. Chris Brown Is An Amazing Singer, Dancer, And Actor. Let It Go People Let It GO. Let Him Be The Entertainer He Was Before.

    • Vooodu

      …Eahahhaha WRONG!

      Chirs Brown is bitch, and the only people supporting him are his lil groupies.

      But lets face, it your lil groupies would let CHris Brown beat you every day just to be in the same room as him..

      So in short, Grow the fuck up!

      It hasn’t even been a year since he Rihanna and you expect everyone to forget…LMFAO!

  • Ladypeace

    Yes, he should have performed. That could have been his way to say goodbye to someone that was the world to him. We all make mistakes in our life and God for gives and for gets. MICHEAL JACKSON HAS INFLUENCED A LOT OF ENTERTAINERS AND CHRIS BROWN IS ONE THEM. That was wrong not to let him perform. What goes around comes right back around. No good will come out of evil for evil. Chris Brown is a AWESOME PERFORMER AND MICHEAL JACKSON WOULD HAVE WANTED HIM TO PERFORM.

    PEACE AND LOVE IS WHAT MICHEAL JACKSON STOOD FOR

    • Vooodu

      CHRIS BROWN IS NOOOOBODY!

      Whats wrong with you…

      Guy beats a girl, he should have to suffer, even a lil bit.

      MJ don’t need a tribute, watch his vids or listen to his songs.

  • Ladypeace

    Let us not judge a person for their past and let their present represent who they are now. Chris Brown will live and learn. I DON’T BELIEVE IN FOR EVER PUNISHMENT. We don’t have that kind of power. If Jay- Z HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH HIM NOT PERFORMING, THAT WAS WRONG AND PRETTY LOW. WHO EVER MADE THE THIS FINAL CALL, SHAME ON YOU. THIS IS A TIME WE SHOULD HAVE CAME TOGETHER AND PUT ASIDE OUR FEELINGS FOR THE SAKE OF MICHEAL JACKSON. A PERFECT MOMENT TO SHOW LOVE AND FORGIVENESS. Chris Brown is a good man and I love for all.

    • Vooodu

      Fuck Chris Brown up his stupid women ass.

      All you lil fat ugly young girls need to grow up!

      • Kaila

        Lmao You’re Calling “Girls” Fat, Ugly, And Young Like You Can Really See ‘Em Behind The Computer Screen. Your Probably Fat, Ugly, And Old. Shut The Fuck Up “Vooodu”.

        • Vooodu

          oooh booo fatty… Fuck you and Chris Brown.

    • Vooodu

      No he shouldn’t fuck Chirs Brown.

      Way too go BET !

      • CJ

        fuck Jay-Z and beyonce bitch ass

  • bornee

    Not for nothing, but I recall watching a video of Mr. Jay-zee slapping up one of his little girlie fans in Africa for trying to take a picture of him ummm…or did we all forget that one?

  • bornee

    I mean, the first question should not be whether it was right for Mr. Brown to be banned from attending the BET Awards, but Jay-zee is the last person you would think to ban anyone from attendance for giving a woman a beat-down. Especially after the whupping he put on that little girl for just trying to take a picture of him, while on his visit to the Mother Land…that was a disgrace.

  • CJ

    Fuck jay-z! fat lip bitch his prima dona wife whose become dry and in my opinion more annoying than entertaining. both of them need 2 get over themselves. chris brown shoulda been on stage dancing 2 beat thriller and smooth criminal. if i remember correctly MJ himself had past troubles. its just a bump in the rode for chris beatin a woman is a horrible thing to do, but regardless life goes on and chris brown is an entertainer and it was about MJ not dumbass Jay-Z

    • Vooodu

      …HAHAHAHA

      Fuck CHRIS BROWN! All you lil Chris Brown groupies all crying about it. Micheal Jackson doesn’t need Chris Brown.

      Chris Brown isn’t even that big a deal

      JayZ is a big deal. Beyonce is a big deal. All you lil groupies need to understand that Chris Brown isn’t shit and can be replaced and forgotten really quick. (Koff Koff, Bobby Brown anyone?)

      Chris Brown Beat a women black and blue. JayZ pushed a girl by her face….BIG FUCKIN DIFFERENCE!

      • Crystal

        wow…i guess some ppl are just reallt DUME!

    • Crystal

      totally agree!

  • Crystal

    ABSOLUTELY…..who is Jay Z to give orders…he should have asked Bet to take his wife Beyonce off the awards cuz her performance was a hot mess…i dont condone what Chris did but singing is still his career and he deserved to pay tribute to MJ…he was his mentour…Jay Z is a hater…was Rhianna his girl or what…cuz he is really concerned too hard….
