Chris Brown is surely a better performer than all his contemporaries, hands down. (Drake, Frank, Miguel, Trey, Justin B.) But he's no where near as good of a performer as Timberlake or Usher or hell even John Legend gives a more stirring performance.
But he's really only a very good street dancer... Now that his vocals are locked in the Disney Vault, I really don't see him surviving to see a follow up to X. Assuming that album ever sees the light of day.
It's like Drake's Take Care Performance + song >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chris Brown WHOLE career and I do like him.
I got to go with Drake, personally. Though i do miss the thicker Chris Brown Circa 2005-2009, this current Chris Brown is giving me Tyrone Biggums teas. I wish he would get away from the yes-men and heaux and get back on track.
Drake monotone vocals mixed with Craig David is just giving me life these days.
