The video for Chris Brown's latest single 'Take You Down' premiered on BET just a few short hours ago. While it's footage from his 'Up Close & Personal' tour, I'm still pleased it's getting a release in some capacity. IMO 'Take You Down' is one of, if not the, best track I've heard from Chris. About the video, Chris really is morphing into a very seasoned performer.

What do you think of the video?

I don't get the hype on this kid. he's cute and all but to me he looked dry in that damn video. He's definitely for the youngins cause I just don't see it but he's cute just not all that! However, he's a wonderful performer that I will definitely give him.

Put me in the mind of vintage Bobby Brown. He is a hell of performer.

I would prefer a real video, seeing as I saw this performance at his concert. I don't like concert clips as videos

I agree Lola because I saw this live at his concert too! So I prefer a real video.

Vid was lame....

lil buddy can't even really sing.
Gurlz (except for me) let him get by on his looks
To me its about talent.
He has the talent to be a back up dancer.
He just made this the video becuz of the attention it got on the net and he wants another hit.

Well Chris can dance but at singing he is still struggeling to me..and this song is grown and sexy...his breathy young voice doesnt fit...but the performance was good....Usher is better.

i realised that SAM did NOT post chris' LONDON CONCERT REVIEW.

this goes to show the BIASNESS that happens on this blog. HERE IS THE CONCERT REVIEW THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN POSTED.

According to the hype, Chris Brown is the new Michael Jackson - an 18-year-old from the middle of nowhere (tiny Tappahannock, Virginia) who sings, dances, writes and produces. He even helps direct his own videos. His two albums - 2005's self-titled debut and last year's Exclusive - are full of state-of-the-art, hip-hop influenced R&B. Songs like Run It! and Wall to Wall should give Usher a reason to look over his shoulder, but on this evidence, Brown is some way short of being the self-styled "Prince of Pop"; instead, he is just an average dancer, and a singer who frequently can't be bothered to sing.

Article continues
Brown would surely be embarrassed if he was not so self-satisfied. The choruses of the songs his fans have come to hear him sing are all on tape - during Say Goodbye and Wall to Wall, he doesn't even bother pretending, the microphone rarely anywhere near his mouth while the lyrics continue to pour from the speakers. He dances, pretty badly, to Umbrella by his rumoured girlfriend/fiancee Rihanna, and even, mind-bogglingly, to Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby. He brings two female fans up on stage for current hit With You, but instead of singing the love song for them, he manages to completely ignore both women even while draping himself around their shoulders, as if scanning the room for someone more exciting.

Brown's fans - many of them no older than the star - have a right to expect more than this sort of shambolic karaoke, yet screams of uncritical delight greet his every pelvic gyration and stumbling soft-shoe shimmy. They seem content to simply be breathing the same air for an hour, rather than demanding that Brown does something worthy of their adulation.
