In Chris Brown’s video for “Crawl,” the singer pines for a girl (singer Cassie) as he makes his way through a snow-covered city, his heart glowing under his shirt. Eventually Brown finds himself dancing alone in the desert and never actually makes a connection with the girl, even when they come face to face.

The video’s director, Joseph Kahn, insists that the deeply personal clip was all of Brown’s creation. “The entire video for ‘Crawl’ was his idea. I’m talking every single idea in there is Chris’, and it’s pretty awesome,” Kahn told MTV News. “It’s an interesting video for me, because it’s so rare that music videos ever try to achieve anything emotional. With ‘Crawl’ you feel it in here [points to his heart].

“Chris just basically told me a story of what he felt this video was going to be, with his heart glowing and how he’s, like, cold. It is a very personal story,” Kahn continued. “But it’s told in such a graphic manner that I fell in love with the idea. It’s Chris’ story. Period. I am the pencil that put it down on the paper.”

Working with Brown as he deals with fallout from his assault on Rihanna might be difficult for other directors, but Kahn is also the guy that directed Britney’s “Womanizer” comeback video after her public breakdown. “I seem to be the guy that record companies go to when they need help,” he joked. “I truly feel he is remorseful. You don’t drop people just because they made a mistake [even if it was a big mistake].”

Kahn noted that Brown is uniquely talented — so talented that he honestly believes that Brown can achieve the same type of fame that Michael Jackson did in his lifetime. “They talk about who can step in Michael’s footsteps?” he said. “I mean he is, like, Michael Two. The way he dances, the way he moves, the way he sings — it’s, like, so next-level.”

With all the back-and-forth drama in the media, it’s easy to forget that Chris Brown is a natural born entertainer. And in spite of all the controversy, C. Breezy has persevered and bounced back from a career low point, making him the perfect cover story for our forthcoming Power issue hitting newsstands next week. His third album Graffiti is slated for a December 8th release, a move that some criticize as being “too soon” for someone that’s still making amends for a self-admitted mistake. But for that, we give Chris Brown credit for his redemption, rising out of the ashes with a positive outlook on life, love and happiness. Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Brown is back.

RICHMOND, Virginia — In recent weeks, Chris Brown has been working to get his career back on track after his February altercation with Rihanna, with a new music video, a performance at a New York radio festival and a “Fan Appreciation” concert tour, an album due next month and a series of interviews talking about the assault and what he has learned from it.

But many questions still remain.

What caused the singer to lash out against his former girlfriend in the first place? Why has he tweeted fan-made photo galleries of the two of them and released music inspired by her? What does he think about, nine months later, when he recalls that fateful night?

Chris Brown discusses all of these matters, and takes a hard look back on what happened that night, during the MTV News special “Chris Brown: The Interview,” which airs Friday, November 6, at 6 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

“My thoughts [when I look back on it now] is like, ‘Why did it happen?’ “ he told MTV News correspondent Sway during an hour-long, one-on-one interview that took place in Brown’s native Virginia. “Like, ‘What was I thinking? What is wrong with you?’ That’s what I’m thinking with myself. That’s what my thoughts are, basically, now.

“It’s like, ‘How do we get past it? How do you, Chris’ — talking to myself — ‘how do you go from point A to point B? How do you learn from your mistakes, turn it into a positive and help other people with the situation, and at the end of the day become the person that you want to be?’ “

As both superstars attempt to move on and restart their careers while rebuilding their lives, the world is watching and waiting for answers.

During the interview, Brown told MTV News that therapy is helping him to assess his actions and behavior. The singer said he sits in group settings during his weekly sessions and combines the experiences of others with his own to figure out what led him to assault then-girlfriend Rihanna. “Just anger,” he said plainly when asked by Sway what triggered the incident. “Yeah, anger.

“Young people, we do before we think,” Brown added.

MTV was at the show and got some behind the scenes footage of Chris Brown. He started the show dressed in a futuristic Michael Jackson ‘Thriller’ inspired outfit, which looked AMAZING, and then he went on to perform his new hit single ‘i can transform ya’, along with Swizz Beatz. Chris performed a number of songs, including Wall to Wall, With you, Gimmie that, Take you down (which the ladies went bananas for), and more. He ended the show with Forever. The crowd went CRAZY for Chris, as well did Twitter.

Oh, and listen to Polow Da Don’s reaction to Chris’ comeback performance, he pretty much summed it up lol.

On Tuesday (October 27), the same day Chris Brown dropped a seriously cinematic video for “I Can Transform Ya,” featuring shape-shifting “Transformers”-like machines and martial arts moves, the singer is set to headline Power 105.1’s Powerhouse concert in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Will his performance at all mimic elements of the video? What will Brown do for his first major event since his assault on former girlfriend Rihanna, and his first to promote his December 15 album, Graffiti? MTV News got a sneak peek at his rehearsals in a Virginia dance studio, which went a long way toward answering some of those questions.

Throughout rehearsals, a yellow Bumblebee mask from the “Transformers” movies sat on a desk nearby. As “Transform Ya” began to play, Brown and his dancers stood in a straight line, their heads bowed. A line from 2007’s “Tranformers,” delivered by Optimus Prime, played over the speakers: “They’re a young species. They have much to learn.”

Optimus then called, “Autobots, roll out!” and the dancers broke out into formation as Brown’s song came on. Throughout rehearsals, Brown’s dance lineup shifted. At times, he was joined by as many as six backup dancers, while at others only two toe-tapped next to him. For a few tracks, he alone danced to the beat.

Dressed in a black baseball hat, gray sweatshirt and T-shirt, rolled-up pants and high-top Nikes, Brown wasn’t all business during his practice time. He joked around a bit, pulled off many nifty tricks with his hat and at one point sat down to check his Twitter account on a Mac laptop.

Brown ran through “Wall to Wall,” “Kiss Kiss” “Yo (Excuse Me Miss),” “Take You Down,” “Gimmie That” and “Back to the Crib” in front of our camera, but we didn’t see him rehearse “Crawl,” the new track he dropped last week.

NEW YORK — Since his first single, “I Can Transform Ya,” is an upbeat Swizz Beatz-produced track, it’s not surprising that Chris Brown is slowing things down for his second single, “Crawl.” The song, which marks the next single off his forthcoming album, Graffiti, got a mostly positive reaction from fans in Times Square.

Many agreed that Brown has the capability to craft a catchy tune that people can relate to. “I like Chris Brown. I’ve always liked everything that he’s come out with and his songs are always catchy. This is no different,” Kaylee Peters said.

Another fan already could imagine listening to the track, which finds the singer pleading reconciliation with a lover, with friends. “It’s something that I imagine putting on in the car when I’m driving with my friends, something we can all sing along to and really have a good time with.” Alicia Lyons said.

“I think what he’s saying is, it takes time to do everything. You crawl, you walk, then you run and jump,” Michel’le Baynard added.

Chris Brown’s forthcoming tour, which the singer began publicizing weeks ago, was confirmed by his label on Tuesday (October 20). According to a press release, the trek will be “a small, 19-city ‘Fan Appreciation’ tour to acknowledge and thank his fans for their ongoing support. The tour is conceptualized for and with ‘fans only’ in mind, so intimate venues were selected for these concerts.”

The tour begins at the House of Blues in Houston on November 14 and ends December 15 in New York.

A portion of the proceeds from this tour will be donated to Best Buddies International. Founded by Anthony Kennedy Shriver in 1989, Best Buddies is a non-profit organization devoted to providing friendships, jobs and leadership opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. While on tour, Chris plans to visit with Best Buddies participants, as well as encourage his fans to consider volunteering their time to work with those in their own communities who have intellectual and developmental disabilities, the release states.

The Jenesse Center, a domestic-violence intervention not-for-profit organization, will also receive a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales.

The singer recently filmed videos for two songs from his forthcoming Graffiti album: “I Can Transform Ya” and “Crawl.”

In addition to the tour dates, Brown will also perform at New Jersey’s Giants Stadium next Tuesday.
