Yet when he grabbed a mic to sing "Man in the Mirror," he choked up, visibly<br /> <br /> weeping.<br /> <br /> "I'm gonna make a change for once in my ..." Brown's voice trailed off. He was out of breath and sounded hoarse. Tears<br /> <br /> stained his cheeks as he paced the stage, holding the microphone by his side. "This ... wind is blowing my ... Who am<br /> <br /> I to..." He clearly knew the lyrics but they failed to come out.<br /> <br /> Brown faded in and out of the song, closing his eyes, grimacing, trying to soldier on. Whether it was the emotion of<br /> <br /> the moment or the past 16 months, Brown struggled and failed to find his voice, even though the pre-recorded backing<br /> <br /> vocals played on.<br /> <br /> Finally, he gave up, raised a bandaged finger to the sky and fell to his knees as Michael Jackson's voice could be<br /> <br /> heard saying, "I'm starting with the man in the mirror." The camera cut from Brown to an audience member who clearly<br /> <br /> uttered "Oh my God," in shock.<br /> <br /> The audience loudly sang the words that Brown could not. Their aid seemed to move Brown to rise from his knees and<br /> <br /> mouth the words along with Jackson's voice, while gesturing along with the mic as tears rolled down his face. In the<br /> <br /> audience, actress Taraji P. Henson could be seen mouthing, "That's all right baby," as Brown walked offstage to<br /> <br /> Jermaine Jackson, who moved to console him.<br /> <br /> Brown's emotional performance echoed through the rest of the show. When Niecy Nash came onstage to present the Video<br /> <br /> of the Year award, she said, "When Chris Brown started crying I got choked up."<br /> <br /> Website:<br /> <a href="http://tdanceschool.ning.com">http://tdanceschool.ning.com</a><br /> <br /> Twitter:<br /> <a href="https://twitter.com/TDanceSchool09">https://twitter.com/TDanceSchool09</a><br /> <br /> FACEBOOK:<br /> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/tdancetv">http://www.facebook.com/tdancetv</a>
