So Chris Brown...the name alone may cause shivers throughout your body in disgust or you might joke around with it. However you use his name, you can't take away from the talent and raw dance ability that this kid has. "Yeah 3X" is the start of the journey back to the top for Chris Brown after beating the crap out of the artist who I reviewed last week, Rihanna. The comeback started at the BET Awards with a Michael Jackson medley to where he climaxes by confessing his sins to the audience and promising them that he will not let them down. Well, did he do the right thing by starting up on this upbeat dance video called "Yeah 3X"? You can be the judge of that, click below to watch the full video.
The video debuted this past week and to generally popular reviews by some top critics. The song is feel good tune free of any sort of evidence of what happened in the past. It's all about loosening up and just having a good time. It sort of reminds people of one of his previous singles "Forever", which was took a while before being a huge hit for Chris Brown. I feel like that with this single. People are gonna warm up to Chris Brown before really accepting him back into American pop culture. The video itself is a little surprising cause I totally expected to have a more "grown-up" video. The video is squeaky clean and all about having a good time. I was not expecting to see kids on the street dancing with the type of song that was playing in the background. The dance sequences were fantastic and I thought that they were very creative. It definitely got the feel of the music. I think the setting and environment that the video was set in didn't match or fit the song.
In "Run It", it was exactly that but with a plot of a bunch of school kids battling it out in their school gym in the after hours. "Wall-To-Wall" was inspired by Michael Jackson's "Thriller", however it was more suited for Chris Brown. However, you can see the mature progress that Chris Brown was making in "Wall-To-Wall" following "Run It". This video sort of held Chris Brown back, but it was for a good reason. He needs to restore the image of Chris Brown pre-Rihanna beating, in order to really move on with his music career and really show us that he is a man.
Overall, I liked it and disliked it at the same time. The song was catchy, but the video was odd. Hopefully, Chris Brown's comeback is on the rise and that his new album "FAME" will be dropping soon to rave reviews.
Rating - Solid 7 out of 10.
