Perhaps it’s my fear of going to the doctor and finding out something terrible, but I feel like being nice to Chris Brown today.

Look: I still wouldn’t be surprised if Kraft was listed as his father on his birth certificate, but he’s not completely horrible. There I said it.

I saw video of Usher on SNL the other day. Damn, dude was stiffer than Pissy the Pedophile (that’s R. Kelly to ya’ll) at the playground. So, I have to give Chris some credit: At least he’s somewhat believable in this video.

Will I be begging for his live album anytime soon? No, but today, he’s aight.

What? That’s not a big enough compliment. Fine. I appreciate dude making it acceptable for us lanky folk to dance, and he did a good job in this opener for the Movie Awards (which I didn’t know still aired, but ok, MTV).

Normally, I tend to think his choreography is a joint venture between Ringling Brothers and Michael Jackson, but here I enjoyed it. He did a good job.

Baby steps.
