Let’s keep it 100.
Chris could’ve easily been as big as MJ. Not saying he can sing, dance or write better music than the king.
But this guy had it all; he was in movies, he had the lucrative fan base of both the girls and family and he could dance.
He was on the right path until his name became a verb for beating on women. He really really fukked up. Especially being black, they were never gonna let him live it down.
White rock stars have beaten women and have had sex with underage girls but the media will sweep that under the carpet. Now he has that night following him everywhere he goes.
He could’ve redeemed himself but going down the thug/gangbanging route lost him a lot of fans. Now mainly bird brains/hood rats are his fan base.
Michael Jackson and Usher were able to appeal to all spectrums of the market. Chris Brown completely isolated himself trying to act hard. The people around him should’ve been tougher on him but now his ship has sailed.
And I have no idea why people are putting nsync and backstreet boys in the same category when Chris brown arrived on the scene years after their peak.
Got it wrong in the first sentence, pleighboy.
Mike was the most successful musical artist and entertainer ever. These cacs can try to downplay it but the numbers dont lie.
Nobody has sold more records than him. Not the Beatles, Not Garth Brooks, Not U2, Not James Brown, Not Prince, Not NSYNC or the Backstreet Boys, and definitely not the motherfukking Eagles.
Chris was never going to reach that level.
The nikka Mike damn near has his own genre of music.
Even in the best case scenario, Chris Brown coulda have done Don't Be Cruel or Confessions numbers.
Nobody.
