I was just talking about it with my girlfriend a few days ago, this dude was supposed to be next.
I seriously can't think of one star who has lost as much (even considering how much people still mess with him).
I mean dude already has done good for himself, but he really could have been the next mega-icon.
I know brehs like that #hoh stuff, but imagine if these three songs were released, with no controversy. They were around the same time too, but that shyt put a halt right to that path:
Dude would have been the great uniter like MJ was, everybody loved this guy after Forever. Remember, dude had all types of high end endorsements.
She Ain't You was an incredible song and the video being an homage to MJ, moving like MJ, using the same kind of effects/magic MJ had would've blasted incredibly far ahed of everybody else at the time. As much as people enjoyed some of his positive songs after that, they couldn't put that image past their mind.
The fact that this dude has made it this far and people still look forward to his music, even when he went to a dark pace just goes to show how insane he would've been had his name been kept clean.
In your life you just won't see many people as talented as Chris Brown. Really is a shame.
