The stories are flying across blog space right now about why Chris Brown, by far the most capable performer from his generation to pay tribute to MJ, wasn't on the BET stage Sunday evening. The stories all seem to start and end with Jay-Z.
According to several stories Jay-Z, Def Jam and now Rev. Al Sharpton either vocalized their disapproval of Brown taking part in the ceremony and or threatened to pull out of the show all together. Considering Jay-Z's D.O.A. performance was one of the best all night, it would have been a huge blow to the otherwise weak show. However, when looking back on the Michael Jackson tributes through out the night, and all of the Jamie Fox/Ne-Yo performances, Chris Brown would have been a redeeming moment. Not only one of the most talented Singer/Dancers of his era, it is well known that Michael Jackson has been a HUGE influence in Brown's career.
The very scary reality for Chris Brown, who is furious with BET's last minute decision, is whether or not he will be able to see his career through this turmoil in the long run.
