Chris Brown Opens the 2013 BET Awards with Nicki Minaj and the Ghost of Aaliyah

Chris Brown new single "They Don't know" ft. Aaliyah is the sh*t! Better song Drake ever put out with Aaliyah singing on the hook hands down.While Chris Brown had a tough week that wrapped up with allegations of a hit and run, quotations from the bible and accusing TMZ of bullying, there is some good news for the BET Award nominated artist. According to Billboard, his new single, "Don't Think They Know," has cracked the top 15 on the R&B Songs chart. Featuring vocal contribution from the late Aaliyah, "Don't Think They Know" debuted at no.11 on the chart Friday (dated July 6) and is featured on Brown's forthcoming album, "X."

Opening with his lead single “Fine China,” Breezy does his usual theezy with the over-the-top choreography and the lip synching. While some people might complain the pre-recorded vocals, trust me, he did y’all a favor.

I don’t know if it’s the crack or his weed habit, but that boy’s live vocals are shot.

After “Fine China,” Chris transitioned to his Aaliyah-assisted single “Don’t Think They Know.” He threw images of the late R&B star up on the screen as he vibed during the track. That whole anti-gang violence message he’s trying to shoehorn into the song still doesn’t make an iota of sense, but the track is smooth. So I’m with it.

In a made-for-TV moment, Chris closed with a surprise appearance from Nicki Minaj for “Love More,” a new track from his album. The guest appearance was nice, but they stuck Nicki in a damn prop so she wasn’t able to unleash her kinetic energy.
