American singer Chris Brown is saying that he was supposed to put on a big tribute to Michael Jackson during the AMAs this weekend, but claims organisers pulled the plug last minute out of nowhere, TMZ reports.
The singer Chris Brown posted a lengthy video Saturday that shows him in a dance rehearsal with a group of people, where he was shown putting on some serious MJ-inspired moves to a few classic hits, which Chris says would have been part of a showstopping number during Sunday’s broadcast.
The songs featured include “Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” “Wanna Be Starting Something” and “Thriller.” Presumably, this is in line with the 40th anniversary of Mike’s best-selling album, TMZ reports.
Chris’s original caption reads, “U SERIOUS?” He followed up in a later comment, writing … “WOULDVE been the ama performance but they cancelled me for reasons unknown.” IG users are mostly in support of Chris, openly asking why they scrapped it if it was this good.
Of course, there’s speculation as to why CB’s performance may have been nixed. Frankly, he’s controversial, even all these years later. Michael himself is obviously also polarizing, especially in more recent years with the allegations highlighted in the documentary “Leaving Neverland.” TMZ report added.
There’s also the nonstop comparisons made between himself and the King of Pop. Akon recently brought it up again, saying Chris could have been as great if he had a cleaner crew.
The AMAs haven’t responded to Chris’s cancelation claim.
