Is Chris Brown starting with the man in the mirror? He gave a weeping emotional performance at yesterday’s BET Awards Michael Jackson Tribute. When it was time for his performance of “Man in the Mirror,” he completely broke composure, tears running down his face as he struggled through the song until falling to his knees, unable to go on. The audience showed their love by loudly picking up the song, singing along. This after his dance to “Remember the Time,” “Smooth Criminal” and “Billie Jean.”

Maybe Chris Brown is starting with the man in the mirror. Since his sentencing last August for assaulting Rihanna Brown has amassed over 290 hours of community labor service and attended domestic violence classes. He still has hundreds of hours to go, however.

Timbaland Cuts Chris Brown From Track

Disgraced R&B star Chris Brown’s comeback has been dealt another blow – hit-maker Timbaland has cut him from his new song.

The Kiss Kiss singer split the music world earlier this year when he pleaded guilty to beating up ex-girlfriend Rihanna during a fight on the eve of the Grammy Awards in February – and some peers have refused to work with the shamed star as a result of his actions.

Timbaland insists he’s not one – but he has cut Brown’s vocals from new tune The One I Love. And rapper D.O.E., who does appear on the track, tells TMZ.com the title had to be changed from Maniac because of the Brown controversy.

Timbaland’s manager, Marcus Spence, tells the website the decision to cut Brown from the track “was a creative decision for both parties.”

Chris Brown Still Has Feelings For Rihanna

Chris Brown has confessed he still has strong feelings for the woman he has been told to stay at least 100 yards away from for the next five years, Rihanna.

The disgraced singer pleaded guilty to assaulting the “Umbrella” hitmaker during a row in February, and he has been told to keep his distance as part of his punishment. But the “Kiss Kiss” star admits he’s still in love with his ex.

Speaking about life after the fight and subsequent legal woes on New York radio station Hot 97 on Wednesday, Brown told DJ Angie Martinez, “We’ve been friends since I was like 15, we got serious when I was, like, 17. Feelings are feelings and they don’t go away overnight, especially if you sit down and be like, ‘Look, I’m (going to) really be in this relationship with you, past whatever the case, past our busy schedules, past us being two of the biggest artists.’ I really care about her.”
