The senior editor of the African-American celebrity gossip site Bossip.com, Janee Bolden, says “Everybody’s been very critical of every move he’s made since the incident before the Grammys” .

But, she says, there was plenty of support for Brown at the awards show, and she believes it’s a “great first step” in reviving his career.

“It was one of the best performances of the night,” she says. “Everybody stopped what they were doing and watched, and you kept hearing over and over again (from his fellow performers) ‘Chris Brown is back’ and ‘Let’s give him a chance.’ ”

It’s been a challenging year for Brown, to say the least. The Rihanna assault, which took place the night before the Grammy Awards, made the singer a pariah to many of the fans who had helped put him on top of the charts.
