Chris Brown’s BET Performance

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Chris Brown performs onstage with Ciara during the 2008 BET Awards which was held at the Shrine Auditorium on Tuesday in Los Angeles, California. When Ciara came on stage, rain came pouring down in the background as visible text and images could be seen. ‘Ciara’ and ‘Take U Down’ could be seen during the performance. A little shameless plugging doesn’t hurt anyone after all. The 19-year old Chris won the night’s first award for best male R&B artist. He said on the red carpet “I just love what I’m doing and I have fun doing it. I love being myself.”
