The audience at the show, which was held at at the Izod Center, roared cheers of approval as the R&B singer sailed through a set that included popular tracks such as Take You Down, Yo and Gimme That. He closed with Forever, the 2008 single that brought Brown some good publicity this past summer when a video of a Minnesota couple, that entered their wedding ceremony in a choreographed dance to the tune, went viral.

Other performers on the show were very supportive of the 20-year-old's reemergence as a song and dance man.
"Excuse my French, but that mutha----in' boy killed that sh--!" rapper Polow Da Don said after watching Brown's set. "The energy was crazy. You could tell that's something that's missing in the game. He's the absolute truth. He's the future."

Trey Songz said Brown deserves a second chance.
"In God's eyes, none of us are perfect, and he forgives us every day," Songz said. "I commend Power 105 for giving it to him."

Brown, who begins a “fan appreciation” tour Nov. 14, has repeatedly expressed remorse and sorrow over the career-impacting incident in his efforts to win back the public following his brutal beating of the Umbrella singer Feb. 8 in Hancock Park, California. He was sentenced to five years' probation and ordered to do 180 days of community labor as a part of the plea deal he made in June for assaulting the Barbadian superstar; a restraining order issued to Brown orders the him to keep his distance from her for five years.

If you beat a woman it's against the law and you get judged in a court of law. Beating a woman isn't a "mistake".

And who are you to Judge, you must be f*cking God .... and leading a life of perfection .... your perfection may be muddled with mistakes in life but I'm sure the world isn't watching and you have moved past them and learn differently?

So what you're saying is that you don't feel he should have to obey the laws and be punished in a court of law for committing a FELONY?

It's about the music and the artistic expression and vision not about these celebrities personal life ... we all make mistakes and only God can judge us.
