Chris Brown's Latest On-Stage Stunt Sparks Outrage

Another video has resurfaced from a Chris Brown concert in which the singer simulates an intimate act on stage - with some questioning whether it crosses the line. Brown - as well as Usher, who is on tour with him - has quite literally thrust himself back into the spotlight in recent times with his overtly sexual performances. Chris Brown and Usher’s tour is attracting some attention First it was Usher , who asked a woman on stage the other day only to then kick her off because of her reaction. The woman was clearly not feeling his hyper-sensual performance and dancing and looked awkward as hell up there. Afterwards, that sparked a whole thing with competing statements and on-stage declarations from Usher as well as the woman herself , who not only defended her actions, but also said that she was mostly there for Chris Brown. If it had been Brown who had grabbed her and brought her on stage, her reaction might have been different, even if his would have been quite similar. The controversial R&B singer, who was convicted of assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna some years back, is known for his risque on-stage performances , which often take place on a bed and involve the singer bashing himself against the back of a woman to the delight of the crowd. In one recent video, Brown tied a woman to a pole and held her against it - an interesting choice for a man with his past - before then starting to thrust at her and kiss her neck. It’s... a lot. Chris Brown's steamy exchange with a fan did the rounds on social media. Credit: X It was certainly too much for some viewers. One comment asked: "Is this normal dancing or f***ing [in] broad daylight?” "I see why that girl at the Usher show was p***ed she didn’t get Chris Brown looool,” said another. "People are literally getting f***ed on the f***ing stage bro,” a third wrote. Another Chris Brown video has resurfaced Now, this has been part of Brown’s show for a while now, but another video has turned up from July that has people talking. The video, another from the US tour, was shared in July and shows Brown singing a song while positioning a woman on an on-stage bed in front of him. He then proceeds to mime sex with her, thrusting himself against her from behind. The woman, for her part, seems pretty involved too. Again, people were taken aback - you can check the clip out for yourself here . "I'm shocked by those who subject themselves to this,” one person wrote. Another asked: “What the f*** is this, who's paying to see some s*** like this?” However, some aren’t so bothered. One positive comment said: "Ignoring that it's that fool Chris Brown. "Y'all are way too conservative, huh. It's just a performance ... She agreed to it.... People bought tickets ... Knowing there's this part 'cause he always does it…” Another said: "Normal, they must have lined up when he asked some woman to come up.” The whole thing sparked an interesting debate about double standards Since all of this has gone viral, many have pointed out the difference between these overly sexualized performances and those of - for example - an equivalent female artist such as Sabrina Carpenter. Carpenter has attracted attention for a part of her show during the Short n’ Sweet tour whereby she adopted a very raunchy position during her song ‘Juno’. Obviously, this has divided opinion. The reactions to Usher and Chris Brown can often focus on it being ‘part of the show’ and women ‘queuing up’ to be a part of the act. However, Sabrina Carpenter has been very vocal about the sexuality of her own concerts and songs. Speaking to Rolling Stone, she said: "It’s always so funny to me when people complain, "They’re like, ‘All she does is sing about this.’ "But those are the songs that you’ve made popular. "Clearly you love sex. You’re obsessed with it. It’s in my show. "There’s so many more moments than the ‘Juno’ positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on. "I can’t control that. If you come to the show, you’ll [also] hear the ballads, you’ll hear the more introspective numbers. "I find irony and humor in all of that, because it seems to be a recurring theme. "I’m not upset about it, other than I feel mad pressure to be funny sometimes." Is it fair, is there an imbalance between what she is doing and the actions of Brown and Usher? Or, do people simply need to let everyone get on with it? Featured image credit: X/@@jnflesch
