I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard”.

Chris Brown

Michael Jackson

The Scheduled tribute concert in memory of late pop king, Michael Jackson, has been canceled by the Organizers on Friday. The event will now be held in London sometime in the forthcoming year. Sources have been quoted as saying that there were much speculation on whether artists like Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown and Natalie Cole would perform in Vienna. This might have fueled on the cancelation of the much awaited show.

Georg Kindel, the organizer of the show, has bashed up the Australian media stating that the reporters and news agencies have been circulating wrong information to commoners. Mr. Kindel have also mentioned that the show will be at Wembley Stadium in London, sometime in June 2010. This would be in memory of Michael Jackson on the first anniversary of the pop star’s death.

“The artists were disrespectfully treated as B-list artists by the media”, Kindel said. He also assured that the tickets for the Vienna concert will be refunded.

Earlier the Vienna city council had mentioned that it would fund upto 600,000 euros ($876,200) in suppoert of the show. The evert was scheduled to be held at the capital’s Schoenbrunn castle.

“A cancellation is better than something that is bad and that doesn’t interest anyone”, Robert Nuernberger, the spokesman for the Vienna tourist board, was quoted as saying.

The performers were expected to sing Jackson’s some of the greatest hits, which would include Billie Jean, Thriller and Bad in front of an expected audience of 65000. Tickets were on sale at a price of 63 to 518 euros ($91-$745), although it wasn’t confirmed by the organizers of the show how many tickets were sold.

The tickets for the London concert in the forthcoming year will be priced at 44 pounds ($73) minimum. The dates from when and where the tickets of show could be collected will be announced in December.

It’s not many days back that Chris Brown got into a stack
He was charged for beating up, Rihanna, the Jill for his Jack
Pictures of assault were all over in news
Everybody said this is not to be excused

Parents and Parish made Chris understand the implications
So, he apologized on all forms of communications
He was sorry, yeah Sorry … but who could have listened
The judge of the State said you could be imprisoned

But that’s not you Brown, the color with a proper noun
The one with a golden heart …The one who could again start
So the path begun… for amending his ways
And realizin’ what he wants… for the next many days.

But the world is a tricky place; you’ve got good as well as bad
Some put their foot in their mouth and can make you total mad
There’s Oprah as example, Chris seems pissed
She made him poster boy for the domestic violence list

With 6 months community labor, the R n’ B star will be mature now
He’ll be doing anger management classes and he’ll learn he vows
To manage his feelings with love and care
Here’s Chris Brown saying “I Solemnly Swear”.

Chris Brown

Chris Brown, the R&B singer has revealed recently that he is still deeply in love with his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna, and cant recall of having beating her up. Brown had earlier pleaded guilty to bashing up Rihanna badly.

Brown, famous for his songs like “Kiss, Kiss”, was condemned to five years trial period and some community service last week for assaulting Rihanna in February on the eve of Grammy awards. With a bruised face Rihanna lodged a complaint with the police.

Although Brown had apologized for his brutal act several times publicly yet he hasn’t sat for any formal interview in this regard since the incident had taken place. It was only after he was sentenced by the court that Brown spoke to star interviewer Larry King and to People magazine openly.

In an interview with King for his CNN’s show “Larry King Live”, Brown was asked if he could remember what had exactly happened on that black eve. To which Brown simply said he can’t recall anything.

“I just look at it like, wow, I’m in shock, because, first of all, that’s not who I am as a person, and that’s not who I promise I want to be. So when I look at the police reports or hear about the police reports, I just don’t know what to think”, said Brown.

The R&B singer also said to the People magazine that he is still deeply in love with Rihanna. “I never fell out of love with her. That just wouldn’t go away”, he added.

Rihanna

R&B singer Rihanna is to go live on a stage show in UAE. Yes. She has booked her first live stage show since her split with Chris Brown in February. The couple had been in spotlight after Rihanna alleged that her ex-boyfriend had physically abused her. Their publicized fight in Los Angeles on the morning of February 8 led them to withdraw themselves from performances at the Grammy Awards that night.  Rihanna, who was left bruised and battered, gained sympathy from the public and the paparazzi afterward.

But, personal problems did not keep the singer away from work. She returned to the recording studio just days after her fight with Chris. Now, she is preparing for a live stage show in the Middle East that is to be held on May 28.  Promoter Yassin Matbouly has said ”We have been working to bring Rihanna to the region for a while now but it has never been the right time for one reason or another. This time everything worked out and the gig will more than likely be the last outdoor concert before the summer – and one not to miss.”

Chris Brown

Chris Brown’s present situation is clearly making him stand up and firm. Brown’s pleas have reportedly reached the right legal ears. Chris Brown’s case might get a pardon off.

Legal sources revealed that Brown’s lawyers and attorneys are in the process of talks with the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office.

The talks are carried out on the basis of a possible plea deal which would completely place Brown off the hook. Chris the R&B singer was charged on the basis of battery felony for hitting his girlfriend, Rihanna. Brown was hoped to receive a jail term but the present circumstances would see Brown wind up the probation completely and come out fresh as a flower.

District Attorney reportedly received the case details from the LAPD only today. Mark Geragos who is defending Chris Brown’s case, began his legal fight with prosecutors earlier in the week. “Geragos was downtown meeting with the D.A. on Monday,” says a legal source. D.A is the District Attorney.

The source also revealed that the lawyers are trying to come to an agreement which would make Brown a free man. This would happen only if the singer pleads guilty to a misdemeanor, but it is not clear whether prosecutors, who had been asking for felony-caliber evidence against the singer, and Brown’s legal team will ever compromise.

Chris Brown

Chris Brown is still regarded as the king of prom music. The R&B star has been banned from playing at radio stations. Brown has also been banned from several adverts. All these came as an inevitable result of his violent criminal action that left Rihanna all bruised. Whatever be the case, music experts and DJs feel that the truth is, Brown still very much rocks at school dances. A prom-planning expert said that Brown´s music would appear in rotation as anticipated.

The seasonal rotation would mean that Brown’s music will be very much in the run. As spring sets in along with its tuxedo-and-gown flavors, Brownś scores would sure go with the flow. “The kids are still putting it in the list, I’m disappointed to say,” says Lu Ann Haslam, a Southern California high school teacher who advises prom organizers worldwide as Patty the Prom Pro. Haslam revealed that Brownś two songs, “With You” and “No Air” which were in number 1 position the previous year has no place in the top ten request list at Haslam’s own school this spring.

However Chris Brown´s songs are expected to come up and get played since the songs are neither offensive nor do they promote violence – which are the two most hated things in schools according to Haslam. Haslam says : “I don’t think it’s reached the point where principals and administrators are going to object, Now that may change [if] he goes to trial.¨

Matt Cohen, popularly known as DJ MC, sounded grateful to Brown’s music : “Sixty percent of the music you can’t play already [at school dances], and now they want to ban more music? Brown’s music is relatively clean on a scale of cleanness.” Jimmy Harris, a Memphis-based DJ also spoke in similar lines. He still plays Brown´s numbers and as frequently as ever. Jimmy said : “I haven’t limited my playlist in any way.” Matt Cohen clarified his point in playing on Brown’s music. He said that people did not stop playing Michael Jackson’s tracks when the superstar was accused of child molestation.
Matt Cohen, who, post-Grammy night, received a request from a 30-year-old birthday girl to play Brown and Rihanna songs back-to-back which goes on to prove that Chris Brown’s music is still very much in demand. Matt insisted that the things will improve and “…work out for Brown and prom night.”
