Chris Brown recently revealed the meaning behind the title of his brand-new album, ‘F.A.M.E.’ According to him, it stands for either ‘Forgiving All My Enemies’ or ‘Fans Are My Everything.’ However, based on his explosive outburst during today’s ‘Good Morning America’ show, it seems that not everyone has been forgiven by him just yet.

The incident on GMA couldn’t have occurred at a worse time, as his new album has just been released throughout the US, and the singer’s other major offering of the day is the video premiere of his song ‘Beautiful People.’

Later today, he was scheduled to appear on MTV’s “The Seven,” but due to the morning show fiasco, he decided against showing up. However, his music video was still released as planned.

Considering the Chris Brown-Rihanna assault incident that took place two years ago, your opinion of his character is likely to influence how you feel about his music. If you still hold a personal dislike for Chris Brown or have not forgiven him for his actions, the clips of him in the studio with artists like Timbaland and Pharrell Williams may seem distasteful. On the other hand, his fans who have forgiven him for the infamous Grammy night incident may quickly warm up to the song and show their appreciation for a man who has handled all the criticism thrown at him with remarkable decency.

His detractors refuse to believe that Brown has truly apologized and learned from his mistakes, while his fans have long moved past the controversy and simply want to see their favorite singer shine on stage.

Opinions about Brown may be divided, which is not unusual, but his music video deserves a unanimous approval. It is nothing short of excellent, with just the right amount of style and showmanship, along with the polished studio sound associated with R&B hits today. Music producer Benni Benassi has ensured that his DJ background shines through the beat, incorporating catchy melodies and a touch of Italo boogie. Brown’s vocals blend well with the club-like rhythm, and it can safely be predicted that this will be one of the best songs of 2011.

Of course, there will be those who won’t even give the track a chance because of the singer’s past. Considering recent events, it’s understandable. Brown’s lack of control over his temper could hinder his musical projects from reaching their full potential. However, one thing that is undoubtedly cool is his song ‘Beautiful People.’
