When Jamie Foxx, Ne-Yo and New Edition were performing tributes to Michael Jackson during last year's BET Awards show,<br />
<br />
Chris Brown was nowhere to be found, even though many felt he was an obvious choice to honor the fallen legend.<br />
<br />
Brown's assault on Rihanna several months earlier presumably kept him out of the show.<br />
<br />
On Sunday night (June 27), Brown finally got his chance to publicly honor the man he idolized -- and while his dancing<br />
<br />
was flawless, when the time came for him to sing, he simply fell apart.<br />
<br />
After being introduced by Jermaine Jackson, Brown beautifully channeled Michael as he danced to "Remember the Time,"<br />
<br />
"Smooth Criminal" and "Billie Jean." 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 />
