Ok, this whole CB/Rihanna fiasco. I keep seeing people trying to be politically correct when commenting on it. Celebrities saying that Chris is a young man that made a mistake. WTF? a mistake! I'll say he made a mistake! He's hiding out in Las Vegas 'cuz he knows Jay-Z's gonna curb stomp his ass! I'm sure this isn't the first time he's hit Rihanna either. So that begs the question, what was she still doing with him? I hope to God that she won't go back to him. Everyone knows now that he's an a$$hole and it would just look really stupid for her to go back.
I'm glad to see him losing endorsements and airplay on the radio stations. His career deserves to go in the toilet. But I just can't help not being as mad at him as I should be! It drives me nuts, but he is such a clean-cut looking kid. He seemed really likeable and I'm sorry for whatever it was that turned him into a woman-beater. But seriously, there's no way that people aren't going to side with Rihanna on this. I mean, just look at her! What kind of an moron would hit Rihanna? There are thousands of men who would line up to be with her!
I can't help though but make comparisons to other musicians that have allegedly made 'mistakes'. Mainly R. Kelley and Michael Jackson. Their 'alleged' crimes were different, but for some reason they never really lost their careers over it. R. Kelley still makes music. I'm not sure how well he sells 'cuz iIm not a fan but I know there are people out there that still listen. There are a couple of songs of his that I do like. What does that say about me? What does it say about me that I still dance to Michael's hits from his heyday whenever I hear them? If he were to go out on tour tomorrow there would be throngs of people lined up buying tickets (iIm not one of them). How do we compartmentalize these guys and still like their ART even when we no longer like THEM as human beings?
What the hell?
