MUSIC VIDEO: CHRIS BROWN - “CRAWL”

Friday, November 13, 2009

Chris Brown premieres his video for his second single, “Crawl,” on The Wendy Williams Show, after a behind the scenes look on the the set.

The video clip was directed by Joseph Kahn in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago, and co-stars singer/model, Cassie.

“Crawl” is the second single from Chris Brown’s third studio album, Graffiti, which will hit stores a week earlier than it’s initial release date, on December 8th.

WHY DOES CONCRETELOOP STILL SUPPORT AND PROMOTE THIS BARBARIAN.

as far as im concerned he can take his talent, mask his face, and blend in with the jabbawockees.

“Respect the artist for their art” ~Me

You can say what you want about Chris as a person, but as an entertainer he belongs in this industry. This song and video show exactly where he stands, and that is somewhere at the top. Don’t let my bias fool you, I think he has a lot of work to do as a young man, but I have been a fan of this dude’s music from the get-go.

Give props where they’re due.

Chris’ album will probably flop.
I predict that he sells just about as much as Trey songz
Chris’ music is not in heavy rotation right now.
His lead single has so far peaked at #23 on the hot 100. That’s not good enough

People still hate him no matter how good his music is.
Its sad but he will never regain the success he had before the industry does not let you bounce back from things like this.
It even took Britney a while to bounce back and even she doesn’t have as much as she used to.

Take deep analysis off of it. In my opinion the song and video are rather good. And I was surprised at how great he sounded. I respect him from moving away from his past mistakes and moving forward with being an entertainer. No judgment on my part to provide…that’s for God to place. All I can say is…it’s good music.

I love the vid & IMO Chris is displaying a genuine sense of humility. There is no excusing the incident PERIOD. Many pple feel his career should be finished but I ‘d suggest they check their reflection. You may not have physically abused another human in your life BUT have you mentally, emotionally, or verbally abused someone? Ponder on that before you cast your stones…Be Blessed!

I love Chris’s video, and I’m loving “Sing Like Me” Dec 8th can’t come fast enough!
Oh yeah,
For those that didn’t understand the concept of the “Crawl” video: His heart is visible, and that means, he’s bearing his soul. It also could be a parallel to people see through fame and realize that Chris is human. The cold weather is symbolic of the world and and the industry. Right now the world is still cold and calculating. Cassie represents the situation, rihanna, and where he now. The desert represents the fact that in some instances he feels deserted and the end with him dancing with the child represents him as his former self, and taking the steps to become a better man. ;

@post 20 : no one can replace CB. This video is a decade N#1. The finest of the moment. CB is truly above them all.I’m listening to sing it like me and it’s undoubtedly a N#1 too. What are u talking about.

27.

Hi

Friday, November 13, 2009 /

He is moving in a positive direction…good job Chris. You’ll be fine.
Cassie is a pretty girl…she should model and leave the singing to the professionals.

Next, let me go see what Rhianna’s video is about…

I love the song and the video. Chris look so cute talking to Wendy he has a cute smile. Anyway I’m not a person to hold a grudge against people I know so, Chris is alright with me. Just don’t repeat your mistakes, learn from them. Good luck Chris.

PEACE AT HEART

Friday, November 13, 2009 /

CB is not remorseful, I pay attention to body language and facial expression…he’s just trying to survive and make that money, he’s a taurus, that’s all he’s concerned about.

His interview with Sway said it all, he didn’t even OWN his responsibilty in this by the words he used, he kept saying YOU when he should have been saying I meaning he’s still blaming others (subconsciously his upbringing) for his brutality toward women….

Personally, I don’t think he’ll change b/c deep down that taurus stubbornness bull in him will keep him from doing so. I don’t think he wants to thus why he won’t watch…

there are certain souls that don’t and won’t learn in this lifetime and hopefully my intuition is wrong, but CB may very well be one of them…

His arrogance will be his downfall !!!

I liked the video and song. I find it pathetic how people can’t seperate the artist from the his personal life. He’s not talking about beating a girls ass in the song or any of his songs. What happend, happend in his personal life, as I’m sure alot you pointing your fingers have had or done some things that you are glad no one knows about. So lets just stop being hypocritical, casting stones and pointing fingers, cause when you point your finger theres always three fings pointing back at you.

This song reminds me of the insprational songs that they used to make in the R&B genre instead of the generic themes of ‘you cheated on me’ or ‘i saw u in the club (fill in the blank’)’ songs. I don’t see how he could have done wrong talking about taking it slow in relationships. Great song and advice to young people as well.

Also I have hope that his CD will do well. I feel as though the general consesus with teeny-boppers is they will support him (my little sister and her friends are still going crazy for this boy), and I while I was at i-hop talking about his video with a couple of my friends, a teenage male waiter came over to talk to us about it; he said Chris Brown was his idol. Now I’m not saying that he was right in what he did to Rihanna but at the same time I see no point in holding that against him anymore, especially since he has apologized numerous times over and over. Although I don’t consider myself Christian, I grew up in a Christian household, and it seems that a lot of people have forgotten about ‘forgivness’. You’re supposed to forgive him and if you don’t that means that you are holding a lot of unessary hatred and negativity in your own hearts. If Rihanna can forgive him for beating the crap out of her, within her own personal life and situation, then why can’t others (ourselves) forgive him as outsiders who were not in a personal relationship with him? It seems that some of us have gotten carried away in terms of the actual effect on Chris Brown and Rihanna’s passed relationship…which was a relationship between those two and only those two….hmmmz.

Trey songz replaced Chris I’m sorry its true
His music is not banned from radio stations like the convicted felons. Chris is just not a hot commodity now.
His stans should accept this and stop acting like he rules the world.
Even on his worse day Trey>>>>>CB

LOVE the song and the video is well put together. Only God knows where Chris’s career will go…God is merciful and I do not see Chris as a “Woman Beater” but a young man acting before thinking and instead of this happening out of the public eye it was very much the opposite.

In life God always uses someone as the example…

Be strong Chris….this is coming from a woman who experienced “Domestic Violence” you’re no “Woman Beater” I can recognize one from experience.

I wish you the best CB and God Bless!

The song and video are kool, but its hard for me to root for dude because he’s not a victim in this situation… plus I think he’s getting off easy. I forgive him, but I’ve lost almost all respect for him.

I like the song and video. If Rihanna has gotten over it, I suggest everybody else do the same. She made no effort to appeal the decision by the court, so to me, that was enough to get on and over it. His music is nice..I like both of his singles actually.
And NO, Trey Songz has NOT replaced him. People should stop using the situation as a way of criticizing his music. Again, Rihanna was the direct party involved- not us. If she can get over it, who am I to still judge him on it?

Wow great job! I already loved the song the video makes it more better. Yep I will definitely be buying the album. I could careless about his personal life.

dontfallforthisbs

Friday, November 13, 2009 /

lmao …. dont fall for all this bs …. i dont know chris i dont know what happened between him and rihanna but i’ve worked in the music industry for a long time … this is what we call great PR …. everyone will feel sorry for him and see him in a million interviews and say to themselves “oh the poor thing im gonna buy his album im gonna support him because he looks sad … and he’s remorseful infront of the cameras but behind the scenes its a totally different scene … chris brown is a business you think he’s gonna be his usual self infront of millions of people make himself look like a d*ck …. no he’s gonna sugar coat everything make himself seem sweet and innocent. likewise for rihanna her strategy was to not talk about the incident until her album was dropping for the same action as chris kids will feel sorry for her and buy her album but all in the same they are still seeing each other i know this for a fact ….. but strategically they release their albums at the same time so its a win win situation for both of them …. all the kids who hate chris brown are gonna buy the rihanna album … all the kids who hate rihanna are gonna buy the chris brown album … thats the reason why they release it at the same time so they make money off of the whole battery situation place the fans against eachother…
So dont be fooled by the artists if you like their music awesome support them but dont be fooled into thinking they are who they portray themselves to be on t.v because they are not…. they are humans just like you and I …. one thing you should do is take more focus into what music videos you are watching and what the videos are portraying / what the lyrics are saying because like i said before im in the music industry and there is a lot of evil involved ….. rihanna is not a sweet innocent girl her label … the industry ….. and a lot of artists are involved for a different kind of reason ?

How pressed are you to come in a Chris Brown post and type hateful things. LAME people make me laugh. I think u should take that negative energy elsewhere.

Anyways, love the Crawl video. CB’s songs so far seem to show his growth as an artist and I really like it. Good for him. I wish him nothing but the best in LIFE and MUSIC.

love the song and the video, very inspiring. to my brotha, i grew up in a violent household and witnessed violence on a regular. I moved away from home in my early twenties and one weekend when i returned my parents seemed to be two totally different people. God is a wonderful and forgiving God. People do change, so to you my brotha i say keep your head up. by no means do i agree with your past, but i do know that life lessons are tough ones at times and we live and learn. I believe your situation, as crazy as it may sound, is giving me the strenght to forgive my father and i thank you for that. as you grow into the man your suppose to be u will understand fully the damages of your actions. thats what growing is about. Good luck my brotha and continue to do well…….loving everything i have heard so far and i will be buying your cd for the first time……God Bless

Chris Brown is so talented but I wish he would dance more like how he did in “Yo (Excuse Me Miss)” but he’s awesome. Does anybody else find Cassie’s half shaved head distracting from the meaning of the video and song??? Chris, wrong girl!

73.

SAY WHAT???

Friday, November 13, 2009 /

Well lets see whats been up with Chris within the last month…..

#1 Ringtone in the U.S. (transform ya)
Youtube video over a million views within 3 days of video being released (transform ya)
Within 3 to 4 days of release Transform Ya goes straight to #1 on itunes
Within days of release Transform Ya debuts on Top 100
Oh not too mention “Crawl” is just now hitting the airwaves…
So I wonder how the album will do?

Flop? I dont think so. Try again. People kill me with always wishing for someone to fail.

74.

Muffy

Chris’ albums are always better than Rihanna’s albums.

I had no idea he was the first famous male in history to hit a female? You learn something new everyday!

Friday, November 13, 2009 /

@MELANIE

Maybe you care but I personally dont care about numbers and album sales. Chris will be just fine. There are many AMAZING artists that dont sell or flop as you say. Does that make them any less of an amazing artist? NO!! Rihanna can sell 100 million albums the first week but everyone still knows that she CANT sing. It is what is sweetheart. Thats the world we live in.

Since you speaking on charts and numbers..I just wanna add. Where is Alicia Keys Doesnt Mean Anything and Usher Papers on the Hot 100? They are both lower on the Hot 100 than Chris. Both songs came out around the same time as I Can Transform Ya. So are Alicia and Usher flops also? What does that say about them as artists? Nothing!! Considering the fact that Chris assaulted his famous girlfriend and everyone “HATES” him he is doing DAMN good!! So dont come in here with that flop BS cause no one is that pressed honey..just me and you LOL! Im sure u wait by the computer every week to see where Chris is on the HOT 100..smh its ok honey.
