Chris Brown Makes a Comeback at the 2011 BET Awards

What a difference a year makes! Around this time last year, Chris Brown was onstage at the 2010 BET Awards, stomping and bawling through an emotional tribute to his hero and idol, the late King of Pop Michael Jackson. The emotional performance marked his yearlong public mea culpa, which included many highs as well as many lows.

This year was a different story. The 22-year-old R&B star redeemed himself this year BIG TIME and collected four trophies, including male R&B artist, video of the year and collaboration for “Look at Me Now” during the telecast, which aired live from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles reports the Los Angeles Times. How is that for a comeback?!

“All my fans are everything to me,” Chris said as he accepted the award for male R&B artist. “I know it’s been a long road. I just appreciate every blessing that’s been put in front of me.”

Later on in the night, Chris took to the stage and performed a dance medley of his tracks from his #1 album F.A.M.E., performing alongside the much-buzzed-about upcoming rapper Big Sean. The performance definitely trumped last year’s, giving Chris the redemption he has so badly wanted.

What did you think of Chris Brown’s performance at this year’s BET Awards? Do you think he redeemed himself?
