Chris Brown - Chris Brown

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Probably one bad song from 17...

Chris Brown was born in the small town of Tappahannock, Virginia. He says it was quite hard growing up to be noticed in such a small place, but at only 16 years old, he released his self titled debut album, 'Chris Brown.' Now at 17, (18 on May 5th), he's living the dream after his album has sold over one million copies as of 2007. Winning himself awards, appearing on hit show 'The O.C' and having a lead role in dance movie, 'Stomp the yard' alongside ...
...first time I ever saw Chris Brown, I was watching the music channels on my TV. It was an average day and I saw a teenage boy dancing like crazy ina video. Intrigued to know what it was, I continued watching. I was automatically blown away by his dancing talent, and I was liking the beat from the song already. It sounded like a cool song, but I didn't know who it was, and it was ending. At the end of the video the information appeared on the screen: ... Read review

Advantages: Nice voice. Acts his age.
Disadvantages: Bland at times. Pointless remix.

Chris Brown serves up a fine album which bodes well despite the lack of similar tracks to his hit single "Run It!". Chris seems aware of his audience and never strays far from what a teenage girl would like to hear - which is probably its worst quality. From listening to it just once through you get the impression that Chris is around purely to make money. All the right moves are quickly put in place with the inlay design geared heavily to love-sick ...
...has seen a decline and Chris is one of many artists gaining ground and coming back strong. Although overshadowed by better singers and better production Chris gets it right more often than not. With the classic mix of smooth, slow and mid-tempo R&B gold you can hardly say it's not good. Yet good it may well be but excellent it certainly is not. The album has problems. First of all the lyrics are bland at best. Yes we all know you like girls but ... Read review

Advantages: Good variety of tracks, Reminds me of Usher in the early days!
Disadvantages: I love this album although near the end it gets a bit boring!

...What I like is that Chris doesnt pretend to be grown, he sings about things on his level and so you wont sit there thinking what does this kid know about love!!! As the album continues he brings a lot of new flavours into the album and brings diversity to the album. My only criticism of this album is that they got the track order all wrong, all the released tracks are right at the beginning followed by a long list of slow tracks that after a while ...
...my advice is just to perservere, or try listening to the songs in a different order. The Run It remix is a quality track for all you Bow Wow fans out there and there is some good collabs with Top Producers. As I said before, he reminds me of a young Usher, If you liked Usher's early stuff like You Make me Wanna and My Way then you will like this and if you like this and havent heard his early stuff then I would definately listen as you'll enjoy it! ...

Advantages: Loveable and good songs
Disadvantages: The album is very limited

...I can't say it is hard to get confused when it comes to this youngsters album, as Chris Brown released his debut album in late 2005, the album would appear with different versions and different covers (as highlighted by the wide variety of albums by the artist to review). All versions of the album went by the self-titled name of 'Chris Brown' however the track amounts vary from 8 to 15. For the purposes of this review, I shall be reviewing the eight track version of the album. Welcome to Chris Brown's world. When Chris Brown first burst on to the scene it would be with the single 'Run It', that is the first track on the album if you do not count the Intro (See The Light). Run It was an immediate success and truly was the song of the summer for 2005 and gave Chris Brown the fanbase he so wanted. Chris was himself only 16 at this point... Read review

Advantages: good lyrics
Disadvantages: none

...The number 3 song on the album is a song called "Young Love" and Young love is a song that describes its self. The song is about young love.Teenage love. "Ya man ain't me" is the 5 song and it's about a girl who is with a guy and the guy treats her bad and basical what chris brown is saying is he is nothing like the guy, the title of the song describes the song "Ya man ain't me". Most of the song are good with good beats and chris brown has a beautiful voice when he sing it is like his voice can take your breath away. He has a song called "run it" which was one of his singles which features juelz santana and he has that same song "run it" but it is the remix with bow wow and jermaine dupri.... Read review
