Five Things We Enjoyed About Chris Brown's X

Reasons we enjoyed Chris Brown's "X."

Chris Brown - It ain't hard to tell that MJ's moves have inspired Chris Brown. Breezy has been vocal about his adoration for the late great singer since day one. But the "Loyal" singer got to officially show his respect for the King of Pop a year after MJ's death when he performed an emotional tribute at the BET Awards. Donning a replica MJ hat and his iconic glove, Breezy performed a medley of hits –– singing and dancing his way through songs like "The Way You Make Me Feel" and "Man in the Mirror."Breezy continued to show his dedication when he premiered his "Fine China" video in 2013.(Photo: Frederick M.

Here are five things we enjoyed about X, starting with the fact that he channeled Michael Jackson and did a good job. (Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)

Something for Everyone  - There are uptempo tracks, pop songs and straight-up R&B cuts. The music can be slow and sexy one minute and ready to party the next.  (Photo: Tom Briglia/FilmMagic)

"Loyal" Fans, Great Comeback - After being released from jail and having "Loyal" dominate the charts, everyone wondered when and where Chris Brown would perform the hit single first. Naturally, he chose the 2014 BET Awards stage and tore it down. He later hit the stage again with Trey Songz and August Alsina.  (Photo: Kevin Mazur/BET/Getty Images for BET)
