Chris Brown's Crawl

Chris Brown's Crawl

First off, the hot chick that looks like Rihanna is named Cassandra Ventura. She has the walk and look of Rihanna down in this video. I have to agree with the writer in the EW post, something is very uncomfortable about this video. Listening to the lyrics, it is certainly a 'love letter' to Rihanna. He talks about having “one more chance” throughout the song.

It feels like this is merely another PR move in order to save his career, but the song isn't that bad. I just can't get that image of Rihanna's beaten-up face out of my mind every time I see Chris Brown. Sorry, Chris, I can't forget that.

The actual video isn't that bad, but the Rihanna hairstyle is a bit much.

Notes:

-MJ Style: He even does a Michael Jackson tribute. But, I'm not sure if he's a Jumper, because he jumps from the wet streets of a nameless city to the middle of a desert.

-Did someone fool with the heating controls in his hotel room? You can see his breath.

-Chris Brown seems to have a heart condition, because his heart is transparent and a cartoon in the early portion of the video.

-What's up with the Malcolm X glasses?

Video Grade: C
