Thx you Today Show for your everything Love ya!… 18 to 20 thousand people showed up at 7 this morning! That’s crazy!! Biggest crowd the today show ever had!… I love my fans!!!!

Chris Brown seems to be forging ahead despite his past bad press. He recently dominated the 2011 BET Awards with numerous trophies including a fan favorite honor. A fan favorite award when you’ve had trouble like attacking your girlfriend and going ballistic on a morning show really means Chris Brown must be doing something right.

What did you think of his ability to shut down Rockefeller Center with a stellar set for the Today show Summer Concert Series?
