Chris Brown Makes Live Comeback at Jersey’s Powerhouse Concert

10/28/09, 2:29 pm EST

Chris Brown headlined radio station Power 105.1’s Powerhouse ‘09 concert at New Jersey’s Izod Center last night, marking his first official concert since his February 8th altercation with Rihanna. After performances by The-Dream, Trey Songz, Fabolous, Mario, Keri Hilson and Day26, Brown’s live comeback arrived, and the “Forever” singer was greeted with loud applause, MTV reports.

Brown opened his set with new single “I Can Transform Ya,” emerging from his fleet of dancers as the crowd went wild (he debuted the track’s video earlier this week). The embattled star was cheered when he ventured to the front of the stage and received deafening shouts when he took off his “Beat It”-inspired jacket. The set featured roughly 10 songs, including hits “Wall to Wall,” “Take You Down” and “No Air.” Brown wrapped up the performance with the one song that even he admits helped keep his career afloat this past year: “Forever.”

As Rolling Stone previously reported, Brown had appeared onstage during the Virginia stop of Lil Wayne’s America’s Most Wanted Tour, but he was performing as a fill-in guest, and didn’t appear on the bill. With the pressure of his first concert back behind him, Brown will next embark on his fan appreciation tour, playing to smaller but devoted audiences.

Why do continually call Chris Brown’s beating of Rhianna an “altercation”? According to any dictionary, an altercation is a loud or heated argument. The word you are looking for instead of “altercation” is “assault”. Did you see the pictures of Rhianna after she was beaten? That was no altercation. AS a writer you should be aware of the power of words and how your word choice continually misrepresents what happened.

Ahhh shut up! Rihanna is ok and she forgave him a long time ago so get over it and move on! Glad to see chris back on stage!

White people are so upset with chris but there was no such backlash against sean penn. Or sean connery, two white boys who abused women! Hell sean penn just won and oscar! If he can continue his career then why can’t chris? I’m not saying what he did was right but he doesn’t deserve the electric chair like many of you are trying to give him!

@Me- maybe they call it that because ALL of us are trying to move on past this, we don’t condone what he did but, he own up to it, he’s suffer from the loss of endorsements, friends, fans and being a media favorite. He accepted his punishment and is trying to move on, no matter what happenes down the raod their are people that will never let him forget it, I imagine that’s how Michael Jackson felt, no matter what he did or how great he was they wouldn’t let him forget the bad decisions that he made.Chris will never be a MJ, but one thing for sure at the age of 20 he has walked in his shoes… Chris keep your head up, welcome back to the stage!

Okay. | 10/28/2009, 4:15 pm EST

Okay so Chris Brown is making his career after he beat up Rhianna??? Okay I know he has the right to but why would Rhianna forgive that dude after he physically abused her? I mean that is like true love right there or stupidness cause she just forgave him. I don’t have anything against her decision because I like Rhianna and Chris Brown but that is just a lot of misunderstanding. Rhianna is too pretty for him anyways so why is she still after him. Oh but whatever.

P.S: If you are going to talk smack about someone please make sure you know how to spell and check your grammar! :)

I’m so tired of hearing about Rihanna every time Chris’ name is called! They have nothing to do with each other anymore and the “incident” or whatever you people want to call it is almost a year old. LET IT GO!!! I’m glad to see Chris moving forward. God Bless. I love I Can Transform Ya and Crawl!

KianaAngelica | 10/28/2009, 5:01 pm EST

I’m so sick and tired of ppl not moving on from this! Give the boy pops on trying to MOVE ON!! He apoligized..what more do you want..he is continuing to make his music and give his fans what they want! PPl who continue to bash him are not allowing him to get past this! His fans are obviously still around and support him MORE THAN EVER!

Voice Of Reason | 10/28/2009, 6:14 pm EST

Why does RS continue to report on this loser? He beat Rihanna in such a brutal way and apparently you’re all fine with that. Yes, she forgave him, as women in abusive relationships often have a difficult time accepting that they’re not really at fault and don’t deserve that kind of treatment. She’d young and dumb, she doesn’t know better. You people should. I hope Chris Brown gets in a serious car accident and can never dance or sing again. Chris Brown made terrible music before he ever beat Rihanna up, and now he’s just a joke. Only idiots support him.

darylmack | 10/28/2009, 6:57 pm EST

Well vor if you can’t stand it why dont you go and find the highest bridge you can and jump- no1 cares what you think

Leila | 10/29/2009, 4:06 am EST

Voice Of reason, who wishes a car accident on someone?? what kind of loser says crazy stuff like that LOL? Chris Brown will be just fine…while you sit at home and wish harm on him. The boy will be sitting on his millions and enjoying his life. i truly feel sorry for you tho

ellis | 10/29/2009, 6:42 am EST

am so happy his back.

Bev | 10/29/2009, 12:56 pm EST

Someone tell me what the video
I can transform Ya means
explain what you think Chris is
trying to say

Voice Of Reason | 10/29/2009, 2:34 pm EST

Chris Brown is saying that if you disobey his orders he will transform you into a woman with a broken jaw and two black eyes. The fact that women have anything even remotely positive to say about him after what he did is exactly why women get paid 77% of what a man gets and why a woman has never been president.

chris brown baby | 10/29/2009, 6:02 pm EST

i love him no matter what yall dont know what really happen so stop sayin shit about jus be happy that he back!! I LOVE YOU CHRIS BROWN!!!

Jack Koff | 10/29/2009, 8:27 pm EST

Can someone punch this dipshit in the balls please?

Orq.Chris Brown Wife | 10/29/2009, 9:07 pm EST

I Understand That He Hit Rihanna And Yes He Was Wrong But She Was Wrong To Because She Had No Right To Go Look In His Phone But I Think If She Forgave Him Why Can’t Every Body Else And All The People Who Said They Were His Number 1 Fan’s Lied Because People i Know Who Said They Were Also Said That If He Came Out With A new CD They Will Not Buy It Me On The Other Hand Is A True Fan If I’m The Only One At His Concerts And With His Album I will

chianne | 10/31/2009, 2:41 am EST

ICantransformYa is about a dude transforming his chick by buying her cars, bags, vacations, and anything else a ‘black card’/American Express card can buy. Like, ‘You can have whatever you like’ (TI). All so shallow/materialistic. BUT the song snd the video are FABULOUS. Real CB quality stuff. So glad he’s up and running. The music world needs his energy!!

good news | 11/2/2009, 4:20 pm EST

I hard this concert was the BEST! Chris was excellent per everyone I know who attended! I can’t wait until he comes to my town!

As for this other crap, move on ppl! I could care less. Why are you ppl o invested in the personal lives of young people? Where were you when ROMANE POLANKSI was on the run yet producing films & receiving an Oscar for his work? This ADULT male drugged, raped, and sodomized a 13 yr old girl!move on ppl!

good news | 11/2/2009, 4:26 pm EST

@ Okay.
SHUT THE HELL UP! Is this sentence grammatically correct?

She is too pretty for Chris? Are you on medication or simply a mindless drone? Oh, did I spell that correctly?……LOL

NATALIE | 11/9/2009, 10:04 pm EST
