Why Chris Brown will never be "Winning."

I'm new to this blog, a blog about being badass. Name's Jenine, well J9. Music has always been a passion for me. Music can be badass, well maybe not some of the stuff I listen too (Glee! sorry Dan!) Many things are badass...heavy metal, pre Gov. Schwarzenegger and Thug Nasty -- A.KA. my g-ma. 

However, the artist with the number one single and soon to be album, is far from badass.

Chris Brown, who was worthy of such an honor four years ago for his stellar performances, is not increasing his chances of shedding his bad boy reputation. And not bad boy as in "ooo he turns me on because he plays guitar and smokes cloves..." but because, well, I'm not even going to link the infamous photo. Brown was on GMA yesterday morning promoting his new album F.A.M.E. (Forgive All My Enemies) and when asked with pre-approved questions  how this album represented a progression in his life since his 2009 assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna, he threw a fit backstage and threw a chair through a times-square window. Everything Robin Roberts asked was relevant [and pre-approved]! The restraining order Rihanna had against him recently got lifted. The word "forgiveness" is even in the title of the new album!... And we aren't talking about forgiveness for the naked picture that was just leaked (I'll spare you that picture too). You can tweet all about Charlie Sheen, but why Brown's actions have made such an impact is because that same girl who performed with him years ago, had her bloody face plastered for the world to see.

Mr. Brown should put his flexible foot in his mouth and follow Lady Gaga's advice and just dance.
