There are a couple things we know for sure about Chris Brown. Dude can dance, sing and put on a heck of a show. Brown also seems to have an issue with hitting, choking and biting women while driving rented sports cars. The newest addition to the list: no amount of domestic abuse can toughen Brown up when it comes to singing Michael Jackson tunes.

Everyone saw, or at least heard about, Brown’s emotional breakdown at the BET awards . It was his first major appearance since his brush with the law (and Rihanna’s face) and it was somewhat suspect that he ended up showing off a sensitive side. Let’s face it, Brown is going to need all the positive publicity he can get in order to salvage his career and this little instance may be just the sort of thing to help…but not everyone is buying it.

For most viewers, Brown’s breakdown couldn’t have come at a more opportune time. While his performance was amazing (it really was) many people were left feeling as though his emotional outburst was fake. The truth is, only Chris Brown knows for sure whether or not his tears were sincere. One thing we all know for certain, though, is that it takes more than a few tears for everyone to forget that you bit someone in the face.
