Has Chris Brown been FORGIVEN?

First off, I am musically a Chris Brown fan, but as well all know it's about more than just the music. However, with all the negative attention he has received or warranted in recent years, has all been forgiven? I am seeing CB back on the video count downs, hearing him back on the radio and seeing more artist willing to colloborate with the young talented singer/performer. Again, I am not complaining because I am all for good music, but does this mean the media and the public has forgiven him and moved on? I mean we moved on from R. Kelly's alleged indiscretions rather quickly, but then again we held on the Michael Jackson allegations until after he died (I'm just sayin). So what do you think, has Chris Brown been brought out of timeout and back into mainstream music?

Bruno Mars is the Truth!!!

Yeah, I am pretty much a fan of Bruno Mars, but at least it's of someone deserving of it. He is talented as hell, as evident in this performance on A Different Spin with Mark Hoppus last night on Fuse TV. PLUS his song ‘Grenade’ is my joint. Enjoy!

Spoil them Rotten

Whether your a Celebrity or just a regular 'Joe', everyone seems to have a comment on how you raise your kids. Yes I think there are certain standards of respect and decency that should be passed along from generation to generation in every household, but there is not fool proof formula to the perfect child or the perfect family. What works for you you and your kids, might not work for me and mine or quite frankly I might just not want to do it that way that you do. Case in point: Why are people so concerned, like literally concerned-jealous-hating, with how celebrities or well-to-do individuals spoil their kids. I mean who is supposed to spoil your kids if you don't, right. So what if I bought my son a 200k car (Diddy) or called up Jay-Z to have him sit with my daughter (Will & Jada) or even just boght you every new toy, game system and gadget everytime they came out (my parents). The reality is, is that every parent shoulw want to give their child all of the things that they didn't or could have and then some. Yes it's not just material things, but if your raising your kids in the first place, then they will understand the significance and appreciate the gesture even more than the object. Also, stop worrying about the cost of what other people are spending on their kids. Them spending 200k is like a regular person spending 2k dollars, it's all on perspective and their reality is not yours. And if you think they are bad, then just wait to see what I do with the little bit of money I have when I have kids. I'd give them the world if I could.

BET Awards: Did Rihanna Feel Chris's Pain?

It's the day after the 2010 BET awards and truthfully I was not impressed. I mean there were some decent performances, but there was certainly nothing to go WOW over. Since everyone is talking about Chris Brown, I really wonder what Rihanna thought of his performance. I mean let's be honest, she knows him better than most of us do and there was love there at one point or another. I wonder if she was touched, if she felt it? Well I am sure if nothing else she felt the same pain we all felt when Trey Songz was singing live. Vocally not a good night for him, although I am usually a fan of his music and I am almost certain Prince was not pleased with him singing 'Purple Rain'. Oh well, can't take it back now...

SOTD (song of the day): B-Rock and the Bizz-"My Baby Daddy"

Grammy Weekend...But Kelis?

It's Grammy weekend and I can't wait for the show. Hopefully the opening performance will love up to what an opening award show performance should be, but who knows these days. Let's just hope that everyone gets his or her just does. Well lets at least pray that everyone has a healthy way of dealing with that fact that the Grammy's are kind of fickle and more than likely it won't be too fair. Let's just see what happens. Between Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Black Eyed Peas and Kings of Leon there should be some good/great performances. I will certainly be locked in on Sunday night to see what goes down. Until then, lets just laugh at this travesty called FASHION. Kelis WHY? Lady Gaga can pull this mess of because we all know she is crazy, but you look like you’re on the verge of a breakdown.

Marvin Sapp-"He Saw The Best In Me"

I don't even know what to say about this amazing lyrical and spiritual masterpiece...Just listen...PLEASE...its real live!!!!
