Outrage over Chris Brown tweets
The blogosphere is outraged over Twitter users’ response to troubled singer Chris Brown’s Grammy Awards performance last night. As you know, last night was the first time Brown attended the Grammys in 3 years since 2009 when he beat the crap out of his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
Critics expressed outrage that Brown’s immature young fans were tweeting that they would let Brown beat them up, or inflict damage to their genital areas.
But why are we surprised when the teen pregnancy rate is at an all-time high due to the lack of morals and no sex education in schools? The anger and indignation should have been reserved for the Grammy Recording Academy who rewarded Brown with a trophy for Best R&B album.
Examples of the fans’ tweets are below and after the break ( courtesy of Colorlines blog).
Catholics call for boycott of CBS after Nicki Minaj’s bizarre Grammy performance
Outraged Catholics are calling for a boycott of CBS network following rapper Nicki Minaj’s bizarre Grammy Awards performance last night.
The talentless Minaj, 29, arrived at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards dressed in a red satin Versace cape with a Caucasian man dressed as the Pope on her arm. Later in the telecast, Minaj acted like a woman possessed — performing her single “Roman’s Holiday” with bizarre satanic rituals which included levitation and an exorcism onstage before a shocked Grammy audience.
“Nicki’s disturbing performance at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards was a blatant attack on the Catholic church,” wrote one outraged blogger.
If the stage was set as a Jewish Holocaust, or a black slavery set or some kind of mockery of Muhammad and Islam glorifying slave owners, there would be outrage. But because its the Catholic church that Minaj is mocking, somehow it’s allowed.
Other blogs are calling for the boycott of CBS and its sponsors, saying the Grammy’s are increasingly relying on shock and vulgarity to attract more viewers to the show.
The Catholic League was also not amused by Minaj’s performance.
“Perhaps the most vulgar was the sexual statement that showed a scantily clad female dancer stretching backwards while an altar boy knelt between her legs in prayer,” Bill Donohue, the president of the Catholic League told CBS New York.
“None of this was by accident, and all of it was approved [by] The Recording Academy, which puts on the Grammys. [Whether] Minaj is possessed is surely an open question, but what is not in doubt is the irresponsibility of The Recording Academy. Never would they allow an artist to insult Judaism or Islam,” Donohue said.

Singer Kelly Rowland lost points when she cheesed and grinned at the Clive Davis pre-Grammy dinner at the same hotel where Whitney Houston’s body lay in rigor mortis Saturday. But she looked glamorous on Sunday wearing a nude Alberta Ferretti gown at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards.
Rihanna turned heads wearing a Giorgio Armani black silk custom gown which she accessorized with Christian Louboution PVC accented pumps and a gold clutch. Rihanna shared her big night with her father and her little brother.
