Troubled singer Chris Brown lip synced during the 54th Annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center for the first time since beating the crap out of his former girlfriend, Rihanna, in 2009.

Brown’s performance was made possible by a sympathetic judge who lifted his restraining order last year at the request of Rihanna’s legal team. Brown lip synced a techno junk medley of his songs “Turn Up The Music” and “Beautiful People” much to the delight of his fans who squealed when he came out onstage in tight grey skinny jeans.
