Chris Brown Melts Down During BET Awards Michael Jackson Tribute

Singer dances flawlessly but is overcome by emotion when time comes to sing.

When Jamie Foxx, Ne-Yo and New Edition were performing tributes to Michael Jackson during last year's BET Awards show, Chris Brown was nowhere to be found, even though many felt he was an obvious choice to honor the fallen legend. Brown's assault on Rihanna several months earlier presumably kept him out of the show.

On Sunday night (June 27), Brown finally got his chance to publicly honor the man he idolized -- and while his dancing was flawless, when the time came for him to sing, he simply fell apart.

After being introduced by Jermaine Jackson, Brown beautifully channeled Michael as he danced to "Remember the Time," "Smooth Criminal" and "Billie Jean." Yet when he grabbed a mic to sing "Man in the Mirror," he choked up, visibly weeping.

"I'm gonna make a change for once in my ..." Brown's voice trailed off. He was out of breath and sounded hoarse. Tears stained his cheeks as he paced the stage, holding the microphone by his side. "This ... wind is blowing my ... Who am I to..." He clearly knew the lyrics but they failed to come out.

Brown faded in and out of the song, closing his eyes, grimacing, trying to soldier on. Whether it was the emotion of the moment or the past 16 months, Brown struggled and failed to find his voice, even though the pre-recorded backing vocals played on.

Finally, he gave up, raised a bandaged finger to the sky and fell to his knees as Michael Jackson's voice could be heard saying, "I'm starting with the man in the mirror." The camera cut from Brown to an audience member who clearly uttered "Oh my God," in shock.

The audience loudly sang the words that Brown could not. Their aid seemed to move Brown to rise from his knees and mouth the words along with Jackson's voice, while gesturing along with the mic as tears rolled down his face. In the audience, actress Taraji P. Henson could be seen mouthing, "That's all right baby," as Brown walked offstage to Jermaine Jackson, who moved to console him.

Brown's emotional performance echoed through the rest of the show. When Niecy Nash came onstage to present the Video of the Year award, she said, "When Chris Brown started crying I got choked up."

Backstage, "a lot of folks were getting misty-eyed, understanding that he was overwhelmed with emotion," BET publicist Zabrina Horton said. "Me, personally, I think 'Man in the Mirror' was great for him to do because I'm sure he still feels bad about Rihanna and wants to be forgiven. He has to make that change himself for himself and he knows that."

Later in the show, when accepting the AOL Fandemonium prize, which measures an artist's "online and mobile fan power," Brown spoke briefly.

"I didn't really prepare a speech because I didn't really think I was gonna be backstage," he said. "But bottom line, I couldn't never do this without my fans. Team Breezy, all the support I've been getting from day one.

"I just wanna say one thing,' he concluded. "I let y'all down before but I won't do it again, I promise. I love y'all, good night."

Beyonce To Perform at White House State Dinner Tonight

Beyoncé will perform Wednesday night (May 19) at the White House State Dinner along with Mexican duo Rodrigo y Gabriela. The stars will entertain dignitaries on the White House South Lawn following the dinner for Mexican President Felipe Calderón.

Beyoncé, who has rocked stages around the world, is no stranger to performing for the first family. In 2009, the superstar hit the stage at the We Are One inaugural concert and serenaded President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama during the couple's first dance following Barack Obama's historic inauguration. Beyoncé and her mogul husband, Jay-Z — who is fairly chummy with the leader of the free world — made headlines earlier this year when the couple visited the White House with R&B star Trey Songz in tow.

Acoustic-guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela will also perform at the dinner. However, unlike Beyoncé, the performance marks the pair's first time at the White House. The duo tweeted earlier Wednesday, "Just landed in DC ... in a little while we'll do soundcheck at the White House for 2moro's performance. Never been there b4 as tourist either."

Rodrigo y Gabriela, who have gone from heavy-metal fans to street performers to world-music stars, will tour the world this summer in support of their latest album, 11:11. Despite performing at the White House for the first time, the pair seem confident about the show and tweeted some words of encouragement to President Obama and President Calderón as the world leaders apparently handled some official business earlier Wednesday. "2nd soundcheck at White House today at 3 30 ... gig's around 9! I think the 2 presidents are in an official meeting right now....good luck."

Fans who want to experience the evening don't need an official invite. The performances and a toast from Presidents Obama and Calderón will be streamed live on the White House website.
