Once a woman beater, always a woman beater?

So apparently Chris Brown is trying to make a comeback, and I heard a song of his entitled Changed Man, or something like that. Personally, I didn't like it, nor did I really try to pay much attention to it, it just didn't catch my attention at all.

I honestly have no idea what to feel for this kid anymore. I know what he did is part of his past, but does he still have to pay for it today? Can he not be allowed to move forward? Did he learn from his mistakes or is he secretly still the same person deep down?

To me it's ridiculously complicated. How do you not get your business mixed with your personal life when you're famous? I think Chris Brown is an amazing artist, but now what he did to Rihanna is always going to pull him back.

I think if Chris Brown makes amazing music, I would definitely listen to it. If he's not creeping through the music & beating me up personally, than I'll keep listening. He's had a lot of awesome hits that have become personal favorites of mine. I know a majority of people will look at him differently, but all in all he is a performer, and I'm sure he knows nothing else. So good luck to him & all his (future) groupys. ^_^
