Jermaine
Jackson was left stunned by Chris Brown's
emotional tribute to his brother Michael at the BET Awards on Sunday
night, and he's now calling on the R&B star's critics to forgive him
for beating up Rihanna.
Brown's career has been in freefall ever since he pleaded guilty to lashing out at Rihanna during a fight last year - radio stations have refused to play his records and the media has slammed his attempts at a comeback - even after countless public apologies online and on TV.
The singer broke down during a rendition of Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" at the BET Awards and the touching cover prompted Jermaine Jackson to stand up for the young star backstage.
Speaking to TV news show "Extra," Jackson said, "He's a human being like all others, we all make mistakes. What he did was wrong. I love Rihanna...I'm one of his biggest fans...We can't condemn him because of what happened. We hope he learns from this."
And Jackson admits he was greatly moved by Brown's tribute to his late sibling: "It was very emotional for me... It was just a spectacular moment. He (Brown) deserves to perform because it's healing for him. How can he learn from his mistakes if you don't give him the chance? He needs that. I support him a thousand percent; I'm not supporting what he did because it was wrong, but, at the same time, we have to give him a chance."
