Chris Brown: 20/20 Interview

ABC Cancels Chris Brown On "Good Morning America"

ABC had a change of heart over the weekend and will not let R&B singer Chris Brown sing next week on “Good Morning America.” Lots of people were complaining and upset about him getting to perform on Good Morning America, especially after they canceled Adam Lambert’s scheduled performance for his questionable stage antics.

Chris has been pulled from the morning show altogether and he won’t get to sing and dance and promote his career. Chris will be on 20/20 though for “tell-all” interview.

Chris Brown To Interview w/ ABC in December But Adam Lambert Canceled??

Adam Lambert‘s AMA performance raised a few eyebrows. And, it got his invitation to appear the next morning on Good Morning America revoked.

While it’s true Lambert’s little act did cause 1,500 negative calls to pour into ABC, it hardly stands up to the 500,000 formal complaint calls over Janet Jackson’s ‘wardrobe malfunction’.

But. it was apparently enough for ABC to hide behind and cancel Lambert as a guest: or as they referred to him, an unpredictable guest. So when ABC announces they are going to interview (and promote) singer Chris Brown we shouldn’t be a bit surprised?

Are viewers just supposed to accept that after all? A guy who chooses to beat his girlfriend Rihanna while threatening her by saying, ‘‘Now I'm really going to kill you’" ??

How does this make sense? The absurdity of Lambert being dropped and Brown being embraced hasn’t been lost as an ABC source stated,

The network is giving a mixed message -- that it doesn't trust someone who shocked with an unpredictable show and a gay kiss, but then it is happy to go ahead with Chris Brown, who was convicted of felony assault.

But will audiences ignore this and still tune in?

We shall find out...my predictions are YES.

Brown’s taped interview with Robin Roberts will appear on ABC’s December 11th episode of 20/20.

There have been mixed reports as to whether the singer will sing anything from his new album Graffiti.

GOOD MORNING AMERICA

Rihanna Breaks Her Silence..Why Did She Go Back With Chris Brown? [Preview]

Rihanna said that she regrets going back to ex-boyfriend Chris Brown after he left her bruised and battered during a February assault, warning other women facing domestic violence to not let themselves become blinded by love.

“It’s completely normal to go back. You start lying to yourself,” the 21-year-old singer said on “Good Morning America” in her first TV interview following the beating. “I’ll say that to any young girl who is going through domestic violence: ‘Don’t react off of love.’”

Brown, 20, was arrested Feb. 8, hours after he was accused of beating Rihanna after the couple attended a pre-Grammy Awards party. He later pleaded guilty to felony assault and a judge ordered Brown and Rihanna to stay away from each other.

In the interview, Rihanna, who is no longer with Brown, said she was ashamed to go back to him after the attack. “That’s embarrassing — that’s the type of person I fell in love with. So far in love, so unconditional, that I went back,” she said. “That’s not what I want to teach people.”

The attack occurred in Los Angeles’ Hancock Park neighborhood as Brown drove a rented sports car. A Los Angeles police detective described a brutal attack in a search warrant affidavit filed in the case, stating Brown hit, choked and bit Rihanna and tried at one point to push her from the car. A photo of her bruised face was circulated on the Internet. In an interview with Glamour magazine, posted online Tuesday, she said about the leaked photo, “I felt like people were making it into a fun topic on the Internet, and it’s my life.”

In her interview with “Good Morning America,” Rihanna said she soon realized that, as a role model to young women, her returning to Brown sent the wrong message. “When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part. I couldn’t be held responsible for telling them, ‘Go back,’” she said.

“I didn’t realize how much of an impact I had on these girls’ lives until that happened,” she added. “It was a wake-up call for me, big time, especially when I took myself out of the situation.”

Rihanna says, “I am strong. This happened to me. I didn’t cause this. I didn’t do it. This can happen to me and it can happen to anybody.”
