Chris Redeemed - It’s safe to say Chris Brown has gotten a pretty bad rep over the years due largely in part to a few public...situations. Like any fallen star he’s attempted many times to get back into good graces of the public, and for the most part it's worked. There have been some fumbles along the way but for the most part Chris manages to restore our faith in him time and time again. – Jon Reyes (Photo: Prince Williams/WireImage) 

Rihanna Takes Chris Back - When he and Rihanna were reportedly back together in 2012, it was a bit odd. But Rihanna went on the record with Rolling Stone magazine to talk about her sparked-again relationship with Chris: "I decided it was more important for me to be happy and I wasn't going to let anybody's opinion get in the way of that. Even if it's a mistake, it's my mistake,” she told the magazine. “After being tormented for so many years, being angry and dark, I'd rather just live my truth and take the backlash. I can handle it." Hey, if she can forgive, so can we.(Photo: Mark Davis/BET/Getty Images for BET)

This MJ Tribute - During the 2010 BET Awards Chris paid tribute to the King of Pop just two days after he had passed away. Chris had always been vocal about the influence Michael had on his career and the resulting performance was as epic as it was touching. During his rendition of “Man in the Mirror” Chris could hardly get through the vocals in between tears. (Photo: Michael Kovac/Getty Images for H&M)

The Start of Symphonic Love - In 2012 Chris created a non-profit organization, Symphonic Love Foundation. It’s been responsible for many causes over the years like giving shoes to children in need, various AIDS walks and homeless shelter aid among others.  “Symphonic Love believes in the capacity of love and art to change the world.” That’s some good stuff. (Photo: Imeh Akpanudosen/Getty Images)

Doting Daddy - When Chris became a dad no one really predicted the kind of doting father he would become. Nothing makes us have more faith in Chris than when we see photos of him with his little girl. Don’t believe us? Check out all the adorableness. (Photo: Judy Eddy/WENN.com)

Paired for Success - Again, nothing is greater than Chris entertaining. It’s even better when he’s paired with some super friends. This remix for "F**k You Back to Sleep," with Usher and Zayn Malik (formerly of English boy band One Direction) is a perfect example of what can happen with Chris does a love song right— and in good company. (Photo: Imeh Akpanudosen/Getty Images)
