2nd Chances :) Chris Brown's MJ Tribute

The Best Tribute thus far ; but thats just my opinion. It's actually sad that in 09 no one accepted anything in grievance from Chris Brown , knowing that in fact this man was his idol . Even now that he gave his tribute it sucks that people are saying what Usher could have done better (which i totally disagree with) and how he didn't deserve to do this when in reality he is only human and everyone makes mistakes , big , little , small and tall so why shouldn't he be given a second chance and why would him and Usher even be in comparison like it's some sort of competition when it's really not even about that ? To me people are trying to find any excuse to not give Props for a grand performance. In reality it seems like the best thing they could have ever done was make him wait because it gave him time to prepare and come up with what i think was one of the most spectacular performances of all time.

I read another bloggg to see how other's felt about the whole performance and the "Chris & Rihanna" thing and I fell in love with the post below;

"Talking to that man in the mirror is a hard thing to do. Making that change is a hard thing to do. And so is moving on and changing when people refuse to believe you’ve changed, insist on tainting your future with your past. I’d have cried too, and so would you. What’s the point of changing and being better if everyone else is just going to see you as the guy who beat up Rihanna for the rest of your life? You talk semantics (a mistake is a poor choice that often has negative consequences and therefore beating up your girlfriend is a mistake…not an accident, but a mistake), but the only thing that matters is whether or not you believe people can change. If you do, then you judge him based on his present not on his past. If you don’t, start defining yourself by the worst thing you’ve ever done, because you’re still the same person as well."

I couldn't agree more with this person , but what do you think about the whole tribute or the situation , should situations or mistakes that happened in the past be something we use to judge a person for the rest of their lives ? What if this was you would you still feel like 2nd chances are so hard to be given ?
